Quentin Tarantino said this in an interview about Kill Bill volume 1:

Q: The character of Daryl Hannah is based on They Call Her One Eye (AKA Thriller, Bo Arne Vibenius, 1974,Sweden)?

QT: Oh, definitely! I love Christina Lindberg. And that's definitely who Daryl Hannah's character is based on. In the next movie, she's wearing mostly black. Just like They Call Her One Eye, she's got some color co-coordinated eye patches. And that is, of all the revenge movies I've ever seen, that is definitely the roughest. The roughest revenge movie ever made! There's never been anything as tough as that movie.

How cool is that? A swedish b-ish something movie that's hardly known even in Sweden... Inspiring even Tarantino.

Steal is a big word. I love Tarantino because he is a gifted filmmaker, but sometimes he is to literate in it´s influences.

But still there something in it that is Tarantino and no one else.

What's funny is this was a pretty known movie for people into this type of thing.... the other funny this is how people are shocked that Tarentino uses other films... If it wasn't for existing film he'd never have made a movie. It's easier to borrow than be original, and I have yet to see an original idea ever come from that guy.

Also...why is it anything he talks about suddenly becomes wanted? I mean, nobody cared about Hero for two-three years...now everyone wants to see it. Lady Snowblood? Now people want it... Hey, let's get Lone Wolfe and Cub while we're at it...City on Fire!? Tarentino said so!!

Amazing.....people follow this guy blindly. He's no different than a North American distribution company. Takes something from somewhere else and makes his cut off it

If it wasn't for Tarantino no one would even know about these films.

I highly doubt that.
