No, it's very specifically a homage. Tarantino specifically made the film as a nod of respect towards genres that he loves and which influenced him. If you'd like a brief, but entertaining look at Kill Bill, I highly recommend you watch this video. It doesn't specifically address Kill Bill until after the credits, but it's a well made video and worth watching the whole thing. After you're done with that one, there's a specific follow up that's exclusively about Kill Bill, which can be seen .

Tarantino's other films have many elements of homage in them, but they're nothing like Kill Bill which is almost nothing but homage.
