Landing in fourth place is the 2003 and 2004 martial arts revenge film Kill Bill, starring Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah and David Carradine as lead stars.
The story focuses on the protagonist Beatrix Kiddo, also known as "The Bride," played by Thurman. She is a former assassin seeking revenge against her ex-lover and mentor, Bill, portrayed by David Carradine and his elite group, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.
Her vengeance was rooted in the fact that he orchestrated a massacre at her wedding rehearsal, which caused her to fall into a coma for four years.
Thurman was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes for the first volume.
