Is this where the siren sound in Kill Bill originated from or is there an even older movie that first used it?

I think that siren is part of a song that is sampled from King Boxer.

edit:  Actually, wiki says the song is originally from a British show called Ironside (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironside_%28TV_series%29).  Sort of odd that it was reused in a kung fu flick, but it worked pretty damn well.

You got me.  I misinterpreted the opening line in the wiki article.
