Influences of "Those who kill...."

The basic idea of this opening was insired by various thrillers, for example, the black and white opening of Kill Bill, where the character of Bill is not scene, (though we all know that it is the late David Carradine, to which the audience only have to see his name in the end credits and then wikapiedia or google him. Rest in peace). This is simulair to the way Cid is portrayed in the opening scene as an enigmatic guinslinger, which is simulair to the old spagetti western characters.
Not only this but the opening scene is a flash back, (simulair to Kill Bill), but then transists into a scene later on, (or perhaps the end scene), which is simulair to the openning of The Butterfly Effect and Carlito's Way.
The characters themselves however are based upon the hyped up assassins off of films like Smoking Aces and the Deadly Viper assassination squad from Kill Bill, which were both based upon the old comic book villains, sci-fi heroes and the disterbing anime cartoons. The relationship between Cid and Sammie's Kid though resembles that of the two characters from the thriller "The Hunted" Starring Tommie Lee Jones and Benicial Del Toro, where the confrentaion is the bigger part, though unlike "The Hunted" there is a much bigger pitcher to the story and possable developement, (and i can honestley say that because i have seen The Hunted and it was awful, plotless and pretty forgettable. I mean, Del Toro's character has gone AWOL and for some reason is drawing attention to himself by killing people in Oregon. Confused? I was. Loverly knife fight at the end though).
