Viewing Notes

This is cartoon that BB watches in the hotel room while Beatrix is crying in the bathroom at the end of the movie (TWBA / KBv2). It’s the first Heckle and Jeckle cartoon even tho they weren’t called that yet. Funny that I watched this earlier this year and did not know the connection to Kill Bill.

After watching TWBA today I looked it up. Also want to revisit Shogun Assassin.
