^ Great lists so far guys. Wold Newton family-esque thread is a great idea.
*******************************************
Premise:
Matsumoto, Bill's old boss, is still out there. Fearing for his assassination, he reaches out with his money. He eventually creates a deal with an old Japanese gang, whose illegal dealings were with pharmaceuticals and the like. What Matsumoto figures out is that he's just made a deal with a deadly enemy, the Chi Koumori ("Blood Bats"), an ancient clan of vampiric shinobi.
Matsumoto, through Tama Sumasshu ("Soul Smasher"), leader of the Chi Koumori, sends a vampire assassin and one of Matsumoto's own to Beatrix's and B.B.'s house to kill them before they kill him. Beatrix, after noticing this was no normal foe, surmised what was happening...the impossible. Battling the shinobi, she didn't realize that B.B. was in danger of a familiar foe. The Bride gasps, realizing that she was staring into the eyes of vindication, as Matsumoto's assassin attacks B.B.
B.B., never been taught anything by her mother other than meditation, was losing badly. The Bride, viciously slashing her opponent, and talking a few cuts herself, finally gets an opening and impales the shinobi through the heart, sending it outside his back, still stuck on the blade. Seeing that he was still as dangerous when he haphazardly lunged for her throat with his now bare fangs, The Bride palmed his nose, stunning him long enough for her to turn on the stove that was just directly behind him, burning up his putrid heart.
Right before B.B.'s killing blow, after a living room smashing throw-around, Beatrix steps in quietly, but still notices her. This mysterious female is wielding Hanzo Steal...she is Nikki Green, Vernita "Copperhead" Green's little girl. The same little girl who witnessed her mother slain before her eyes years ago. Now 16, all she cares to do is kill the one thing that matters most to The Bride, and than finish her herself. She dates that she will not want to kill her before she's offed B.B., she flees.
With her connections and Bill's inheritance, she made some connections with some fellows of her style...
Beatrix, The Bride, and her daughter, B.B. (Kill Bill)
They'd kind of have a "Wolf and Bear Cub" theme going. Beatrix would be the leader, because it is her operation.
Seth Gecko (From Dusk Till Dawn)
The supernatural. He's dealt with it, and put a boot in its ass.
Winston Wolf, AKA "The Wolf" (Pulp Fiction)
The strategist of the group. He's the brains of the rag-tag "league". He never gets his hands dirty, but he can tell others how to keep their hands "clean".
Jackie Brown (Jackie Brown)
Transportation and the set-up. She'll get pulled in like she always does.
El Mariachi (Mariachi Trilogy)
Turns out Matsumoto funded Armando Barillo and his ilk by trading guns, drugs, and slaves. Beatrix uses this info for El Mariachi to see the falling domino's that ended his wife and child's lives. He's their sharpshooting berzerker...guitarist.
Ted the Bellhop (Four Rooms)
Moved out of the craziness of the last hotel, and has spent many years in the lucrative, prestigeous hotel of which Matsumoto not only owns but lives on the top floor. Ted gets caught up in the mess since he knows the entire layout and practically all the residence. (Comic relief, of course. Everyone treats him like shit, with the exception of B.B., and The Wolf shows him respect for his knowledge.)
(All have novelizations. So
to your literary rant coming.
)
Cameo's: Chester Rush (Tarantino), Mickey and Mallory Knox + family (Natural Born Killers), and Jules. Like the Buddha, Jules has gone hermit and travels to end suffering and understand his existence. He tries to talk some sense with the rage-filled El Mariachi. Tries it with Seth Gecko, but he doesn't wanna here it.
Is this group of criminals, lunatics and losers enough to topple this empire of crime?
