"That woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die."
Oddly he was the only thing outside of the Hattori Hanzo nod that made me actually give a fukk about Kill Bill despite the hype.
No Fancy Crap Michael, Just rest easy.​

RIP he was in a lot of classics and just a lot of dope movies, period. Kill Me Again with Val Kilmer and Beyond the Law with Charlie Sheen were some of my favs as a kid.
