I always thought Tarantino was making a more sophisticated point than most people give him credit for. I think he was trying to subtly point out that the Western perpetuated deeply reactionary narratives by default and it couldn't be any other way and be true to the form. Hippie punching was always part of the point. Perhaps the two biggest Western movie stars John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, were both bigtime right wingers, which shouldn't be seen as a mere coincidence. I think viewing it as a pure revenge fantasy is missing the point. All these genre films do is rewrite history so it is more appealing to the audience. He beats you over the head with the alternate history so you have to face it. Even the Bruce Lee scene read like self-parody to me, like a sort of exaggerated white guy fantasy, as if a washed up stunt man could last 30 seconds with him in a fight. I don't know, what do people think Westerns were about? It was the same with Inglourious Basterds. I always thought he was making the point that war movies are nationalist propaganda by default. Everyone is sitting in the theater cheering at Americas enemies getting massacred, just like the Nazis in the theater are. I don't know, that level of satire seemed lost on most people. Most just took it as a "yay, kill all the Nazis" revenge flick, which is sad and somewhat predictable. I almost wanted to shout "don't you see, he's also saying movies which glorify war and nationalist violence are the problem!"

"A Way We Go" seems like a reference to that ancient TV show, The Honeymooners" Jackie Gleason used that catchphrase.
