Tell me more ×  In "Kill Bill", in the duel between O-Ren and
the Bride, there is this small water mill (not sure how else to
describe it) that is shown to be a part of the scene.  It seems

but I never saw a mention of it anywhere.  Is it a homage to
some scene?  share|improve this question the video link in this

couple of the ones from
