I liked Vol. I a lot, mostly due to my love of martial arts films and anime. Vol II is ten time better than the first, due to the fact that it is simply fucking amazing.

Quentin Tarantino is probably the only director who can elevate the campy and the derivitive not only to a good time, not only to high art, not only to tongue-in-cheek humor, but to one of the definitive films of our generation.
