Director: Quentin Tarantino
“ Kill Bill Volume
1 is a 2003 action thriller film written and directed by Quentin
Tarantino. It is the first of two volumes that were theatrically
released several months apart, the second volume being Kill Bill Volume
2.
Kill Bill was originally scheduled for a single theatrical release, but with a running time of over four hours, it was separated into two volumes. Kill Bill: Volume 1 was released in late 2003, and Kill Bill: Volume 2 was released in early 2004 - though the two films are frequently referred to collectively as simply "Kill Bill."
The volumes follow a character known as "The Bride", a former assassin who seeks revenge on still-active colleagues who massacre members of her wedding party and try to kill her. The movie is often noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, girls with guns, and rape and revenge. ” - lankalion

I absolutely LOVE this list. I've always wished
there was a list of rape/revenge films because I thoroughly enjoy
watching justice be served severely by women in these types of
situations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now, I'm curious as to how you chose your films. Are you going to add more? And if so, will you be adding "Descent" (2007), "Teeth" (2007), & "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2009)?
I really love Rosario Dawson & loved her all the more for doing such a daring role as she did… read more

Please add Buster & Billie (1974) to your list. I did see it many years ago & remember it from my youth.
Help! I need to find the title of a boring
rape-revenge movie I saw a while ago. The setting is college or
university campus, I believe the girl was black. She was raped by a
white guy she had dinner with. After a long sequence of boring
trivialities she had her revenge at the end of the movie were she
tricked him into letting him get tied up and then let a black friend of
hers rape him. Anybody know the title of this flick?
Do revenge committed by men count too? If yes,
Law Abiding Citizen would fit this list, as the movie involves rape,
murder and revenge.
The Last House On The Left remake is also missing from your list.
Cheers.
