Went to see the new Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill last night.

As well as being very entertaining, the film is a veritable amputee-fest. With her Okinawa-made Samurai sword, Uma Thurman single-handedly severs the arms, legs and heads of everyone who crosses her path (although I must say that when I lost my foot the blood didn't spray in the air like a fire hose as it does in the movie.)

Thurman's character would keep a prosthetics clinic in business for a generation.
