I shudder when I see how they wield katana's in Kill Bill
Considering I've taken Kendo and Koryu as well as studied a bit into Aikido, the first kill bill is rather practical, basic, and effective in terms of Katana wielding. The second movie was a bit showy, but just as realistic in the actual martial arts fighting.

In fact, Kill Bill is one of the few martial arts movies that bases the martial arts on actual styles of fighting. Movies like The Last Samurai and House of Flying Daggers, Ultraviolet, Hero, those are the fake showy ineffective styles of martial arts.

Anyways, Spiked Chain, yeah it's broken in DND, that doesn't make it a fake sounding weapon in real life as your original point seems to have been. A lot of things are broken in DND, but can also be easily fixed to a DM's desire.
