Quentin Tarantino knows how to make movies that cut right to the heart of what people want: well-shot action, a justifiable level of cursing, and Uma Thurman working her way through crowds of goons as she seeks to reunite with her daughter once more. And movies likeKill Billhave all three which is why some dads, like the one in this video, are big fans.
TikTok user cowenthusiatic posteda video featuring a very happy dad receiving the present all men want despite whatever whisky stones and beard balms regular gift guides say men are always asking for: A bad@$$ samurai sword from Hatori Hanzo.

When it comes to great action Quentin Tarantino is up there.His movies are a feast for the sensesand he serves up samurai sword fights, gunslinging former slaves, and the entire Nazi regime being gunned down by American soldiers while a Jewish woman laughs over the revenge she orchestrated. To get back to the samurai sword fight, fans of Tarantino all know and loveKill Bill, the two-volume movie about one very pissed off woman’s quest for vengeance that will see her dishing out to her former teammates what they dished out to her before ending with what the title promises: Killing Bill.
It’s why a certain Tiktok user’s boyfriend knew the perfect gift to get for the father of his girlfriend: the Hatori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba) sword from Kill Bill,the unique weapon very few characters possess in the film, and one as fine as the one wielded by the Bride, Beatrix Kiddo, played by Uma Thurman herself. It’s the type of weapon, she is told, that will even cut God if He gets in her way. It’s why it’s a perfect gift to give to a fan of the duology, but also an ironic one considering a boyfriend better be in the business of keeping treating a guy’s daughter right if he just gave her father a carbon-steal samurai sword at Christmas.
“Dude,” the dad says, still in shock, but looking around the room for a place to put his prize, “you know where this is going?” Mom enters the conversation and starts saying No over and over, but Dad isn’t deterred: “On the wall above the TV.” Everyone laughs as they see the apparent pleasure on the face of the man who, likely moments before, received the typical dad gifts of socks and cologne and maybe a new pair of blue jeans. But now he’s got something even more to be thankful about: a way to hold offthe Crazy 88fromKill Billif they decide to attack him and his family.
