xxpost- I remember seeing such an overhead shot in a Pinky Violence movie - regarding no. 6, except you wouldn't actually want to be watching it because it's such boring crap. I can't fault Tarantino for stealing inspired or brilliant scenes/ideas from otherwise dull and failed movies no one's ever seen. From same PV movie, woman sword expert killing in the snow, enemies' blood dripping on it.
