Anyone else noticed the similarities between these two movies?

1. In both, the protagonist awakes from a coma and vows revenge on the ones who put him/her there

2. In both, the hero believes their only child to be dead but later learns otherwise.

3. And finally, both have rather anti-climatic endings; Seagal doesn't get blood vegeance on the senator and Bill dies in a rather lame fashion.

I'm not going to ask which movie is better because Kill Bill will win by a huge margin, then someone will pick Hard To Kill just to play devil's advocate and a flame war will ensue. So let's not do that.

But one thing that always struck me was how much better the hospital escape scene was in Hard To Kill than the one in Kill Bill. Moments after awakening from a long coma with atrophied muscles, Beatrice is already killing people and forcing herself to walk by screaming at her feet. Meanwhile Mason Storm has to find more ingenious means to escape from his hospital and his would-be killers.

Did you just reference the Seagal film? Shocked AND use it in the same title as Kill Bill? Laughing
