    " Even the enthusiasm of Quentin Tarantino wasn't enough. The American director is an unabashed fan and collector of Australia's Ozploitation films of the period, to the extent that he dedicated the Sydney premiere of Kill Bill to Turkey Shoot director Brian Trenchard-Smith, much to the confusion of his unknowing audience.
