I saw a couple dozen of the films, took Tae Kwan Do classes, ordered all the weapons and throwing stars from those martial arts magazines...by age 16 I was burnt out. So I know the genre. The scene you mention in the snow could have been impeccable. Instead, Tarantino let the camera stay on the dripping fountain too long and let the heroine stay on the ground too long. Master film makers know how to use the camera to add suspense and slow down time. Tarantino is a far cry from being a master. And I never saw that type of stylization in any Eastern martial arts movie. The scene ended of course, with Lucy Liu's scalp flying across the rock garden and her brains showing. You call that beauty? And we had to watch scores of people maimed in a never-ending orgy of blood-spurting violence just to get to this scene. It was overblown to the point of sheer inanity.
