Quentin Tarantino is known for his unique style and undeniable influence on modern cinema. However, he sometimes feels irked when others borrow that same flair. According to the director, the issue escalated to the point where he accused a popular animated movie of outright plagiarism.

In an interview, he referred to Kung Fu Panda, the hit film featuring the voice of Jack Black, as "in every way a parody of Kill Bill". Tarantino believed that the story, style, and even the martial arts choreography bore striking similarities to his iconic revenge film from 2003.

Similarities

While Kill Bill revolves around a bloody vendetta of a female samurai, Kung Fu Panda follows an awkward panda learning kungfu to defeat his foes. Still, Tarantino sees more than just superficial similarities. He even mentions "cultural imitation".

The notably crafted fight scenes, rapid music choices, and Eastern aesthetics are all elements he believes copy his style. "They used my sauce for a kids' film," he joked in a later interview, although the undertone was anything but lighthearted.

No Issue

Nonetheless, Tarantino claims that it doesn’t truly bother him. "They’re never as good as my films," he declared. He believes that imitations only make his work more valuable. The original source remains the strongest, the director asserts with conviction.



Yet, his claim raises questions. Has Tarantino himself not borrowed elements from older kungfu classics, Japanese anime, and spaghetti westerns? In that sense, his work is also a blend of styles. Isn’t art always a continuous chain of influence?

Lasting Impact

The fact remains: Kung Fu Panda was a mega-success. The film grossed over 630 million dollars worldwide and spawned multiple sequels. Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and Dustin Hoffman lent their voices, while DreamWorks Animation created a thriving franchise out of it.

Next week, the reboot of The Naked Gun finally hits theaters, and if the trailers are anything to go by, it promises to be a laugh-out-loud experience. Reportedly, the actors had a lot of fun on set together as well.

The leading roles are played by Liam Neeson (Taken) and Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl). In various interviews, they have showered each other with compliments. And now we hear that their sex scenes in the film were quite intense.

Too Hot

The Naked Gun made use of an intimacy coordinator. This is an important role that has become the norm on film sets in recent years. The intimacy coordinator ensures that sex scenes proceed safely and appropriately.

But according to the actors, that wasn't necessary in this case. Anderson tells The Sun that their coordinator even walked out during one scene. Neeson adds: "[She] said, 'I can't stand this! This is too hot for me. I'm going to get some coffee.'"

Coming Soon

Whether that fun on set translates into a good film, we will find out soon. The Naked Gun will be screening in cinemas starting August 1.

Writer and showrunner Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, known for Twilight Zone, returns with a new drama series that is now available on Hulu and Disney+. The series is based on the novel of the same name by Esi Edugyan and is titled Washington Black. The first reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

Currently, on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has a Tomatometer score of 100 percent. The story is set in the nineteenth century and follows young Wash, an enslaved boy on a plantation in Barbados, who escapes with the help of an eccentric inventor. His journey takes him from the Caribbean to the icy North, in search of freedom, identity, and answers.

Strong Performances
Diedre Johnson from TheWrap praises the performances of the two lead actors: Eddie Karanja as young Wash and Ernest Kingsley Jr. as his adult counterpart. According to Johnson, Karanja captures the character sharply and vividly, after which Kingsley takes over, adding "extra depth without losing the character's enthusiasm".

Angie Han from The Hollywood Reporter describes the series as sometimes too broad and superficial in its approach, giving it a slight educational video feel at times. However, she believes it remains "an entertaining fictional history lesson filled with surprises and charming twists".

Visually And Thematically
Sherin Nicole from RogerEbert.com describes Washington Black as a visually rich journey centered on identity and freedom. The series blends historical elements with the coming-of-age genre, transforming the story of escape from vengeance into "a quest for meaning and self-discovery".



The initial reviews indicate that the series is valued for its content and performances, with the visual aspect often mentioned as a significant asset. Below is the trailer, and starting today, Washington Black is available on Hulu and Disney+.

A24 has released a new English-language official trailer for the sequel to a massive animation hit from China in 2019, namely Ne Zha.

Ne Zha 2, which has already grossed a staggering $2.2 billion at the box office and is being shown in China and other countries worldwide, tells the story of a rebellious titular boy named Ne Zha.

Uncontrollable Powers

The boy is feared by the gods as he is born from mortal parents but possesses special, wild, and uncontrollable powers.

"When the boy faces an ancient force that plans to destroy humanity, he must grow up to become the hero the world needs," according to the official synopsis.

The Voices Of

The film is written and directed by the acclaimed Chinese animated filmmaker Yu Yang, the director of the first film, and the story of the animated film is loosely based on the 'Investiture of the Gods' novel written by Xu Zhonglin and Lu Xixing.



This English-language version of the trailer and animated film features the voices of several notable actors including Michelle Yeoh, Vincent Rodriguez III, Aleks Le, Damien Haas, and Crystal Lee, and will be released in U.S. theaters starting August 22.

After three long years, it's finally happening: the second season of Peacemaker is coming to HBO Max. You'll be able to watch the first episode on the streaming service in August.

Peacemaker is an American superhero series created by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad). The first season premiered in 2022 and serves as a spin-off of The Suicide Squad.

Plague

The series is set after the events of The Suicide Squad and begins as Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, is recruited for a secret A.R.G.U.S. unit known as Project Butterfly.

His mission is to eliminate an alien plague known as Butterflies: parasitic beings that take over human bodies. Alongside an eccentric team, including the idealistic Leota Adebayo, the impulsive Vigilante, and the determined Clemson Murn, he must devise a plan to defeat this plague.

Mission

While Peacemaker stubbornly clings to his peaceful mission, this conviction clashes with his teammates and his own traumatic past. The second season once again focuses on Peacemaker, delving deeper into his narrative.



Season 1 of Peacemaker received outstanding reviews from critics, boasting a score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. A second season was ordered back in 2022.

Season 2

Season 2 was originally set to start filming in 2023, but faced significant delays due to Gunn's appointment as co-CEO of DC Studios, as he prioritized Superman (2025).

Fortunately, the wait is almost over. You can watch season 2 of Peacemaker starting Thursday, August 21, on HBO Max.
