I think that just adds layers to it. The fight is not over directly relates to the history of these two. O’Ren started this fight, but now the Bride gets to finish it
I think what really makes this fight, for me at least, is that, in a way, O-Ren isn't afraid of Kiddo because O-Ren believes that she is all that superior. Both woman are incredibly strong. But O-Ren, more than anyone in the film, understands the power and desperation of revenge, as she killed the man who murdered her parents when she was at a very young age. I think that when she saw Kiddo for the first time in four years, she knew that it was revenge that brought Kiddo to her.
XOXOLADIDA O-Ren is scared shitless. From her expression when Kiddo first reveals herself, to her shock when she cuts of Sophie’s arm to her worrying expression as Kiddo approaches. She’s afraid.
pok3rfacReturns O-Ren wasn’t afraid. Actually O-Ren was the most skilled out of all the Vipers. The look on her face was not fear when Kiddo called her out. She knew it was her from her voice, she called her out in Chinese and when you’re the most powerful boss and someone calls you out and says they have unfinished business, then you know you’re about to fight. O-Ren underestimated Kiddo’s skills.
@@pok3rfacReturns O-Ren underestimated Kiddo the whole time and I can see why. Kiddo may have been the best of all of them, but that was years ago and she'd been in a coma for so long O-Ren thought she's lost all her skills, and in a way she was right. The Kiddo that Pai Mei respected wouldn't have gotten hit by her in their final sword fight. Kiddo lost a lot of her skills, but even then she proved to be the best out of all of them.
This felt extra personal - because it was. O-Ren's betrayal ran almost as deep as that of Bill's, because she and Beatrix were very close prior to the Two Pines massacre. The look on Beatrix's face as she walked out from behind Sofie was downright chilling.
@@imkool51391 It is heavily implied during the first volume, the fact that she only knows Oren's backstory and what happened to her in all the squad because it is something they shared as friends, the fact they had that line "Tricks are for kids" as an inside joke, the fact that in the final battle before Beatrix kills Oren, Beatrix cries and both women look somber, neither of them wanted this... the only time Beatrix cries after killing someone is Bill and after she kills O-ren, she hesitates and decides not to turn around to see the corpse of her dead friend.
So many layers to this scene. 1. The chaos inside the room and the tension about what could happen to “Charlie Brown” 2. Oren Ishiiii - Beatrix’s war cry and that moment of reckoning in Oren’s eyes . 3. The thugs storming out of the room, and visibly perplexed , that it seems for a moment , they’ve forgotten protocol and have to remind themselves to slide the doors open; and Oren’s ceremonious walk out of the room. 4. The close up to Beatrix’s eyes, perfectly synched with the “Death rides a horse” boom. 5. Beatrix’s rage at seeing Oren, and reliving the past, which climaxes in a swift slicing of Sofie’s arm. 6. Oren’s surprise as Sofie’s arm gets sliced….Oren has seen a lot of things, but witnessing Sofie being mutilated and Beatrix bathing in her blood does a job on her. 7. The perfect transition of Death Rides a Horse, as the bar’s patrons storm towards the exit , and Beatrix menacingly walks towards Oren, then the shots of the Crazy 88’s faces in a state of shock and rage thinking to themselves “who is this crazy b****h?” This scene is l poetry in motion. One of my favorites ever. I didn’t understand the genius of Tarantino until Kill Bill.
Jason M did you just find out about the Manga or something ? Tarantino makes tribute cinema, Kill Bill is his tribute to 70s martial arts films. He made people on set watch Lady SB in between takes, not new info lol
Jason M Blatantly "ripping off" previously-made content ≠ using said content as inspiration for any modern-day interpretation of the same thing. Not a difficult concept to comprehend.
that death rides a horse is pure poetry in this scene. Uma's expression when she steps out from behind Sofie like "yep, bitch, guess who!" is my favorite part of this movie. Also love that as cool as O-Ren tries to be you can see she's a little scared shitless at finding her here.
Yeah its subtle but Lucy Liu is such an amazing actress here. O-Ren knew the moment she saw Black Mamba and the intensity in her eyes that there was a chance she wasn't leaving alive, despite her backup. She knew what they did to her and from personal experience what kind of woman Beatrice was from their time with Bill. That slight moment of fear from someone who knew they fucked up by not finishing the job when they had the chance.
I like how most of the time O’Ren is very stoic and calculated with her demeanor and attacks. But that brief break in her coldness at 1:42 really says how much she was actually caught off guard by her former friend and member.
Beatrix pulled The Tanaka on O-Ren 😆 I've noticed everything that happens to O-Ren is all sins she committed in the past against others - her family get killed by yakuza, she kills them, she becomes yakuza boss who dies after hurting innocent family to be. She cuts Tanaka's head off and watches her friend being disfigured in the same intimidating. She's Chinese American playing Japanese samurai murderer, gets killed by white American with better sword 😆 she got what she asked for since age of 11
0:28 “Hey! You know who you look like? AH! Charlie Brown!” “Yes yes he looks just like Charlie Brown!” “Hey! Charlie Brown... eight pepperoni pizzas!” “We don’t make pizza here sir!” “I don’t give a damn! Order the pizzas then!” “Hey hey Charlie could you give me a kiss?” “O-ren ishii! You and I have unfinished business!!!” *arm is chopped, jntense staring ensues* “Charlie Brown... beat it!”
The most funny thing here is that Charlie Brown, has the same color code than the original Charlie Brown and he's bold like him, he looks exactly like him ^^
For those interested in some theory, a response I posted to someone's comment on another video: The idea about honor is nice. I always thought that O-Ren allowed Beatrix to get up because killing her in a fashion similar to how she killed Matsumoto is beneath her. If you pay attention, every one of O-Ren's kills since Matsumoto has shown her either decapitating or headshotting her targets. When O-Ren said "Silly Caucasian girl who likes to play with samurai swords. You may not be able to fight like a samurai, but you can at least die like a samurai." To me, this is what decided the fight. It is a loaded piece of monologue for multiple reasons: 1. If what I am saying is correct and O-Ren believes that killing any other way that decapitation is evidence for lack of skill then we can understand why O-Ren did not kill Beatrix on the ground. 2. Per an interview with Lucy Liu on her role in Kill Bill and the script for Kill Bill, we find out that O-Ren has always wanted a Hanzo, but was rejected when she tried to obtain one. O-Ren took this rejection as a personal insult, but as we find out from Beatrix's encounter with Hanzo, Hattori took an oath to never forge or give away another weapon. Upon finding out that Beatrix possessed a Hanzo, O-Ren likely felt insulted and this is the cause of the insult that she said to Beatrix. Referring to (1), Beatrix slaughtered her guards, true, but not in any organized manner. Beatrix cut people in half and tore out their eyes -- this is not the mark of a warrior who should be wielding a Hanzo, it is the work of a "Silly Caucasian girl who likes to play with samurai swords." Little did O-Ren know, Beatrix was not granted a Hanzo due to remarkable skills but rather because Hanzo felt an obligation to help right a wrong he felt he made possible (he trained Bill). 3. As I referenced in (2), the original script for Kill Bill is available to the public, you need only google "Kill Bill script" to find it. In the script, we find that both Beatrix, along with Bill, inducted O-Ren Ishii into the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. This is very crucial information, as it was at age 20 that O-Ren was one of the greatest assassins in the world (per Beatrix's narration) but it was not until age 23 that O-Ren joined the squad. O-Ren already had a reputation upon her induction, and it is with that notoriety that the words, "but you can at least die like a samurai" result in the death of O-Ren. In essence, what O-Ren said was, "I am not going to lower myself by killing like you, instead I will collect your head as a mark of superiority." It is at that point that Beatrix put herself one step ahead -- she knew O-Ren's next move. As you can see when the fight resumes, O-Ren is cut after she attempts to behead Beatrix, and Beatrix having correctly predicted O-Ren's killing pattern was able to score a hit and limit Cottonmouth's mobility. This was a fight between old comrades and was not a fight Beatrix could simply power her way through. It almost seems as though the Hanzo sword was a requisite for O-Ren's death. Even if Beatrix managed to get through the Crazy 88 with another sword, the psychological trigger that pushed O-Ren to reveal her cards would be unaccounted for. Also, the killing blow in this fight was a toss-up between a 360-degree decapitation vs a 180-degree slash through the skull, decided by the quality of the weapons in use.
Absolutely beautiful dissection, a true attention to detail. To be honest, I did not realize that O ren went for the head as her final attack, but extremely fitting (for the multitude of reasons you listed) truly an exceptional film, and what a final showdown. Quick, flashy but not over the top, very real, and very brutal
My favorite part of this scene is during 1:22 where the Bride shows herself from behind Sofia and the background music just intensifies as the Bride and O-ren see each other once again.
2:05 You can actually see O-Ren gradually becoming slightly intimidated, like it just dawned on her that this was once a woman feared as the most lethal in the world, and she crossed her.
she's the most poised actually (O-Ren_ you can see the Asian warriors are not intimidated easily, she just got surpised to see a dead person back alive or comatosed, waken up...Vernita begged for her life, Ellle was mouthy all throughout their fight, Budd did the least noble & shot her..
@@angel91485 nah it was fear. Remember no one else knows what real vengeance besides o-renishii ....until this moment. Thats why its fear, Beatrix is coming for her the same way she went after her family's murderer when she was 14. Revenge comea full circle so they say.
Yeah, I saw both volumes in the theatre and it was epic. And don’t get me started on how that coffin scene in vol2 played in the theatre. Pitch black and you hear nothing but dirt in surround sound??? Traumatic. Lol.
I know O-Ren was a villain, but she's always been my favorite character. Love how she was such an elegant badass in this movie. The confrontation between her and Beatrix was so beautiful and iconic too. I like to think that O-Ren definitely recognized the level of threat this situation posed for her and just how much she'd screwed up, given her own background with revenge. Would totally watch a movie following O-Ren's rise in the yakuza, or when she worked together with Beatrix.
O-Ren spent some of her life pursuing then brutally killing the man who killed her mother and father. She is no stranger to revenge and vengeance and knows how it makes people. O-Ren and Beatrix aren't too different and Beatrix seems to know the most about O-Ren knowing her entire life's story. This was the second most personal fight for Beatrix besides Bill himself.
Julie Dreyfus did a great job screaming because her arm was cut off. It made me cringe listening to it. Everyone in this movie did a great job showing pain and were not afraid to look ugly doing it if they needed to.
For whole the time thought it was in Japanese 😅 He'll be comin' down the mountains He'll be comin' down the mountains He'll be drivin' all his hatred He'll be drivin' all his hatred Who'll be the first to test his gun Who'll be the last to see the ground And when appeased will be his hatred And when complete will be his revenge Who had put flowers on your grave There is no way out for you, men And also for you who always have won comes The moment of truth comes... The moment of truth comes...
Oh man I remembered watching this the first time and I was left speechless. The way she screamed, “you and I have unfinished business” sent chills down my spine. I just wish I saw it in theaters. I wonder what that would have been like
I saw it in the theaters. About 1 min into the movie the main character gets a bullet through her skull! I looked at my friend, "Damn, . . . short movie."
2:15 Love that bit of Orans face. The queen of the underworld who seemed like her whole life unbothered after the murder of her parents. She saw her own death walked into that room on her happiest time. Lucy n Uma did a hell of a job on their roll. Wish she was second last to face, but the bride got the hard stuff out the way first.
Beatrix was like "Oh...so you're just going to chill in the back and talk on your phone while I get my pregnant ass jumped and my fiance and friends lay dead on the floor? Gimme yo arm bitch!" lol
For anyone wondering the sound at 0:15 when she spots Sofie is from the old TV show Ironside, it plays in the opening credits. also in this movie with the "crazy red eyes".
The greatness in this entire scene is where the fun, music and Japanese quirkiness ends and the audience is reminded of why we’re here in the first place. The music when O-ren is called out and Sophie gets her arm chopped off makes me feel like I’m in the jungle. It’s so animalistic compared to the fun earlier in the scene.
1:41 is really what sells this cene to me. Knowing O-Rens backstory, she doesn't fear anyone or anything. To see her holding back how scared/horrified she is really shows what a threat Beatrix is.
Yuuki Hyuuga sweetie, they look poker-faced and relaxed with the gum. I don't smell fear in them.....Oren's perhaps displaying too much boldness with her upright posture as she is walking...
So much to say about this fuckin scene it's ridiculous!!!! Loooove When she calls out to Oren bold asf ready to battle and did it in her language to make it absolutely clear her purpose! Her cutting Sophie's arm to let everyone know she meant business. The look in Oren's eyes when her name is first called and when she first sees Beatrix...the song... everything!!!!!!!! Oren recognized that same revenge in Beatrix that she herself had as a child and knew shit was goonna get real. Beatrix knew exactly how many people she had to go up against and still showed up! Its subtle but that had Oren shook 😂😂
She should have told Elle they have unfinished business while Beatrix and Elle have their stare off Beatrix flashback to what the vipers did to her and the music plays in the background.
Every time Beatrix calls O-Ren out that gives me chills. I wonder if O-Ren recognized Beatrix's voice after all these years, because her face was like "WTF? Who is this calling me?" Just for a second. And the timing is so perfect, Beatrix make everyone shut up with this one line. Look closely at O-Ren's lips in 1:28 she says the bride's first name "Beatrix." At the moment she saw her, she knew exactly why she is there without a doubt. Cutting Sofie's arm like that shocked even me, and I am not easily shocked. I love how even the body guards are shocked and pissed, they probably saw Sofie as a family by now and wanted to protect her too. I like that O-Ren had some logic and decency to send Charlie Brown away. He is innocent after all. And then a moment later sending a body guard to die, instead of fighting Beatrix by herself right there and then.
No you are mistaken. She did not send Charlie Brown because she cared about his innocence or something. She gladly sacrificed Crazy88 for a chance to beat a tired Beatrix in 1vs 1. She did that because the owner of this establishment was loyal to her... Hence she switched off lights to give Crazy88 a chance to win.... Charlie Brown here was an employee aka an uncertain factor. If you are fighting a life or death battle, you minimize uncertain factors.... And yes O-Ren was that crafty it was shown in the anime part of the film telling her life story....
@@bakairosan4126 Yeah but I was not completely wrong. Charlie Brown was innocent and had nothing to do with all of that. Even if he knew what O-Ren is all about to some extant, he still didn't deserve to die there and it was the right decision to let him go. At least on that- Do we agree?
Still one of the best female-centric action thrillers ever made. I cannot believe that Tarantino has never done a superhero movie (although _Kill Bill_ has all the elements of the best superhero narratives).
Ohhh daysz, Oren....she's just the villainess in white. Ha! Her possy walking in was sick! Love the track when Beatrix is on her motorbike before going into the tunnel.... :)
Sophie deserved that and worse. The expression of her face as she held her arm out to grip the pillar she knew things would forever change. The look of Beatrice when she first sees Cotton Mouth I don’t think I blink the entire time.
I love EVERYTHING about this scene. The music building to a crescendo, the business owners placating & being humiliated by Oren Ishii’s entourage, every actor here is exactly on point & they're all wonderful, the costumes that all seem like homages to various American, French & Japanese films, the gorgeous set so perfect for a dance floor & then a massive martial arts battle. The zooms to the eyes, the two beautiful women in the middle of so much death, the exaggerated martial arts sound effects. All of it works!! I've always felt, more than any other Tarantino film, that Kill Bill One is about the pure kinetic thrill of cinema without almost anything else being involved
I always though Beatrix made Sophie call O-Ren. As I see in the commentaries that's not the case, even though I still prefer it because I find it more creepy from O-ren's perspective. To hear a friendly voice calling you in that manner.
I think people dont understand. Beatrix and O-ren were friends. Maybe Best Friends because Beatrix knows her whole background story. But they were also rivals. When O-ren sees her here. She knows shes no longer the best Assassin alive at this point. She knows how good Beatrix is. And she knows Beatrix is angry. Beatrix had to kill O-ren first because she was the best and also she had a personal army. Which was under Bill's control since O-ren technically works for Bill. Bill really has great reach around the world.
I remember watching this for the first time thinking Quentin Tarantino was the gutsiest filmmaker for making this movie the way he did. Later, I realized I had the subtitles turned off.
The expression of O'Ren and Gogo when they hear the scream is priceless.
Specially Gogo, it seemed like she was really having fun
Jorge Montenegro thats sarcasm right? I dont see gogo

@@honeybee3642 oh lol

When she calls out O'Ren, such an intense moment...chills

Yeah you’re right.
Jessica Campbell love that part! Know any other movies with something similar?
GunsAkimbo I still get chills as well
That close up of her eyes as she remembers what O'Ren and company did to her and those innocents at the wedding chapel, she thirsts for retribution...
For those whos still in confusion: "Shoubu wa mada tsuichainaiyou" translates to "The fight isnt over" and not "We have unfinished business"
Why couldn't they just say the same in the subtitles tho? All Chinese and/or Cantonese dialogues translated differently in English
@prithvirajsrinivasan1077 this is japanese not chinese cantonese/mandarin
It means both.... Kanji .... A lot of stuff is implied and situational...
I think that just adds layers to it. The fight is not over directly relates to the history of these two. O’Ren started this fight, but now the Bride gets to finish it
I think it not “tsu” (つ) but “su” (す) since those two sound are often mix, in kanji 済む is sumu means to end sth.
it would be written as 勝負はまだ済ちゃいないよう！
When she called O-Ren out....I could watch that part 1,000 times
Me too!!!
Me too :D
Seriously. She's just too badass.
does anybody know what the actual english translation of it is???
Patty C "Orenishi, you and I have unfinished business!"

It is at that point that Beatrix put herself one step ahead -- she knew O-Ren's next move. As you can see when the fight resumes, O-Ren is cut after she attempts to behead Beatrix, and Beatrix having correctly predicted O-Ren's killing pattern was able to score a hit and limit Cottonmouth's mobility.
This was a fight between old comrades and was not a fight Beatrix could simply power her way through. It almost seems as though the Hanzo sword was a requisite for O-Ren's death. Even if Beatrix managed to get through the Crazy 88 with another sword, the psychological trigger that pushed O-Ren to reveal her cards would be unaccounted for. Also, the killing blow in this fight was a toss-up between a 360-degree decapitation vs a 180-degree slash through the skull, decided by the quality of the weapons in use.
This essay shows the amount of attention and zealotry we heap on Tarantino films.
@@elmoblatch9787 taken as a compliment
Absolutely beautiful dissection, a true attention to detail. To be honest, I did not realize that O ren went for the head as her final attack, but extremely fitting (for the multitude of reasons you listed) truly an exceptional film, and what a final showdown. Quick, flashy but not over the top, very real, and very brutal
damn, this is by far, the most exquisite comment I've ever read.
@@Spikastru I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
My favorite part of this scene is during 1:22 where the Bride shows herself from behind Sofia and the background music just intensifies as the Bride and O-ren see each other once again.
2:05 You can actually see O-Ren gradually becoming slightly intimidated, like it just dawned on her that this was once a woman feared as the most lethal in the world, and she crossed her.
Yea she's scared shitless but keeps it together
she's the most poised actually (O-Ren_ you can see the Asian warriors are not intimidated easily, she just got surpised to see a dead person back alive or comatosed, waken up...Vernita begged for her life, Ellle was mouthy all throughout their fight, Budd did the least noble & shot her..
@@angel91485 nah it was fear. Remember no one else knows what real vengeance besides o-renishii ....until this moment. Thats why its fear, Beatrix is coming for her the same way she went after her family's murderer when she was 14. Revenge comea full circle so they say.
@@fatty1040 I didn't say she wasn't afraid but she was poised..you know kamikaze & harakiri right?
I love the expression of her bodyguards, not one of anger but instead one of slight fear knowing that they’ll have to face her firstz
That look when she peers out behind Sofie is priceless!
The music is what keeps me coming back to this scene. Thank you Quentin Tarantino for this and for your contribution in Till Dusk Till Dawn
Me to
From Dusk Till Dawn.
There just arent words to describe how great this movie is. If there is one movie I regret not seeing in the theater its this one
the experience in the theater was transcendent
Yeah, I saw both volumes in the theatre and it was epic. And don’t get me started on how that coffin scene in vol2 played in the theatre. Pitch black and you hear nothing but dirt in surround sound??? Traumatic. Lol.
My regret is watching it in the theater and not truly appreciating its uniqueness
The moment the bride calls for Oren always gives me chills, you just knew that it was going to be an intense battle
I know O-Ren was a villain, but she's always been my favorite character. Love how she was such an elegant badass in this movie. The confrontation between her and Beatrix was so beautiful and iconic too. I like to think that O-Ren definitely recognized the level of threat this situation posed for her and just how much she'd screwed up, given her own background with revenge.
Would totally watch a movie following O-Ren's rise in the yakuza, or when she worked together with Beatrix.
You know, if she or any of her subordinates had even a small hand gun, they could've saved themselves a tremendous amount of stress.
Number 2 tried that, it didn't work.
Handguns in city limits....without a permit....that ain't legal either, dude.
Guns? That would just make the bride angrier!
Insight 1318 even the immortal Bruce Lee understands that guns settle everything...
What would have been the honor in that?
O-Ren spent some of her life pursuing then brutally killing the man who killed her mother and father. She is no stranger to revenge and vengeance and knows how it makes people. O-Ren and Beatrix aren't too different and Beatrix seems to know the most about O-Ren knowing her entire life's story. This was the second most personal fight for Beatrix besides Bill himself.
Sofie casually talking on the phone and laughing while Beatrix is beaten bloody.
I love this part. Sofie sooo got what she deserved.
Julie Dreyfus did a great job screaming because her arm was cut off. It made me cringe listening to it. Everyone in this movie did a great job showing pain and were not afraid to look ugly doing it if they needed to.
@@RichardTater Lucy Lu nailed her expression of surprised and an inch of fear in her eyes once she saw B****** K***.
she also did a good job of speaking Japanese, better than O-ren, and so more than Beatrix...
angel91485 oh yeah, she actually speaks japanese and french
angel91485 she was a japanese speaking instructor
so glad to see im not the only one who always gets the chills & mad hype when this scene comes on
Not at all
I just realized her shoes say "Fuck U" lol
No, you watched that on a video pointing out Easter eggs, and THEN came here to watch this.
Brian Merritt or he simply paused the video at the right moment to read what was written? easier to do
Nah.
The soundtrack of this movie is 🔥🔥🔥
1:05 Sound track Name please
@@நான்வீழ்வேனென்றுநினைத்தாயோ-ச8வ death rides a horse
One of the spectacular badass moments ever I've seen. The music, blood... Just brilliant. Tarantino 😍
Shit just got real.
I love how the only thing you can hear after she yells “O'Ren Ishii” is Ennio Morricone's beautiful music
For whole the time thought it was in Japanese 😅
He'll be comin' down the mountains
He'll be comin' down the mountains
He'll be drivin' all his hatred
He'll be drivin' all his hatred
Who'll be the first to test his gun
Who'll be the last to see the ground
And when appeased will be his hatred
And when complete will be his revenge
Who had put flowers on your grave
There is no way out for you, men
And also for you who always have won comes
The moment of truth comes...
The moment of truth comes...
This needs more likes!
And being pinned
I thought too :o
Just perfect for the moment
shit yes....now i realise if you sing it with a spanish accent even english sounds like japanese gosh
O-Ren Ishii... Shoubu ha mada tsuichainai yo.
Oh man I remembered watching this the first time and I was left speechless. The way she screamed, “you and I have unfinished business” sent chills down my spine.
I just wish I saw it in theaters. I wonder what that would have been like
I saw it in the theaters. About 1 min into the movie the main character gets a bullet through her skull! I looked at my friend, "Damn, . . . short movie."
The look in Orens eyes when bride shows herself you know she is thinking OKAY my reign might just be in trouble.....
Quentin captures the emotion of 2 humans eyes locked in combat, looks and expressions mean a thousand words.
0:52 O-ren in her mind is all like...”is that death calling me”
2:15 Love that bit of Orans face. The queen of the underworld who seemed like her whole life unbothered after the murder of her parents. She saw her own death walked into that room on her happiest time. Lucy n Uma did a hell of a job on their roll. Wish she was second last to face, but the bride got the hard stuff out the way first.
She wouldn't turn her cell-phone off during a wedding.
Not Cthulhu 😂
Beatrix was like "Oh...so you're just going to chill in the back and talk on your phone while I get my pregnant ass jumped and my fiance and friends lay dead on the floor? Gimme yo arm bitch!" lol
Moshi moshi
She had it coming really
Her phone got her to lose her fucking arm
Don't feel bad for the Charlie Brown guy. He got to leave with his life. And all his limbs. Unlike the other fools.
She wouldnt have killed him wither way he just works there he's not part of the crazy 88's
He’s totally an innocent - just works for that place & never a threat
For anyone wondering the sound at 0:15 when she spots Sofie is from the old TV show Ironside, it plays in the opening credits. also in this movie with the "crazy red eyes".
Man I wanna learn Japanese because of this movie I love Lucy Liu and Uma Therman in this movie
FSI has a Japanese course. www.livelingua.com/project/fsi/Japanese/
Same
*Thurman
stupid weeaboo
"I Love Lucy Liu" haha that needs to be a new sitcom
I saw Vol. 1 seven times in the theatre. I loved it that much. Couldn't get enough of it.
1:20 and 1:56
This still gives me *GOOSEBUMPS*
What ıs song ?
@@Ouzturk34 Death Rides a Horse
Give Ennio Morricone a raise and a half. Stunning soundtrack
RIP Ennio Morricone ( † July 6th, 2020 )
I absolutely love the music in this film. It creates so much intensity and amplifies the sword fights and lust for revenge.
Such elegance when the bride cuts her arm off. BEAUTIFUL...
She says ''Beatrix''. The Brides real name is censored in vol. 1
The greatness in this entire scene is where the fun, music and Japanese quirkiness ends and the audience is reminded of why we’re here in the first place. The music when O-ren is called out and Sophie gets her arm chopped off makes me feel like I’m in the jungle. It’s so animalistic compared to the fun earlier in the scene.
Song name: Death Rides A Horse Theme (Ennio Morricone)
1:41 is really what sells this cene to me. Knowing O-Rens backstory, she doesn't fear anyone or anything. To see her holding back how scared/horrified she is really shows what a threat Beatrix is.
That must be a hell of feeling looking in to eyes of someone that you killed 😱😱🥶🥶🥶
Mike Michel someone you “thought” you had killed
I love it when she called O-Ren. And i love it when O-Ren says "Charlie Brown.."
Her bodyguards (all but GogoSan) are shitting themselves as she walks closer xD haha
So is O-Ren. The fear is palatable.
Lol x3
Yuuki Hyuuga sweetie, they look poker-faced and relaxed with the gum. I don't smell fear in them.....Oren's perhaps displaying too much boldness with her upright posture as she is walking...
Seriously? When they come out they look brave but when she walks closer they look scared
no gogo is probably Bella high
0:55 Chills every time I hear her say that phrase that way
So much to say about this fuckin scene it's ridiculous!!!! Loooove When she calls out to Oren bold asf ready to battle and did it in her language to make it absolutely clear her purpose! Her cutting Sophie's arm to let everyone know she meant business. The look in Oren's eyes when her name is first called and when she first sees Beatrix...the song... everything!!!!!!!! Oren recognized that same revenge in Beatrix that she herself had as a child and knew shit was goonna get real. Beatrix knew exactly how many people she had to go up against and still showed up! Its subtle but that had Oren shook 😂😂
Its a heargasm when Kiddo calls out to o'ren, i could hear it all day long.
This is the opening of what must surely be my favorite scene in any movie. As usual, Tarantino's choice of music was right on.
Lucy Liu is my celebrity crush.
She said "Beatrix" Which is the Brides first name.
That music damn....😍 It just elevates the intensity...
Ennio 's magic 👍🔥
Beatrix said the phrase to all vipers right? "You and i have unfinished business"?
@@divanshukumarmahajan4803 just because she didnt kill buddy, and also because "bitch, you have no future" sounds better before making elle blind
She should have told Elle they have unfinished business while Beatrix and Elle have their stare off Beatrix flashback to what the vipers did to her and the music plays in the background.
Well, Budd shot her before she could say much and then Elle killed Budd. She never did say it to Elle though.
Only to the ones that she killed
Every time Beatrix calls O-Ren out that gives me chills. I wonder if O-Ren recognized Beatrix's voice after all these years, because her face was like "WTF? Who is this calling me?" Just for a second. And the timing is so perfect, Beatrix make everyone shut up with this one line. Look closely at O-Ren's lips in 1:28 she says the bride's first name "Beatrix." At the moment she saw her, she knew exactly why she is there without a doubt. Cutting Sofie's arm like that shocked even me, and I am not easily shocked. I love how even the body guards are shocked and pissed, they probably saw Sofie as a family by now and wanted to protect her too. I like that O-Ren had some logic and decency to send Charlie Brown away. He is innocent after all. And then a moment later sending a body guard to die, instead of fighting Beatrix by herself right there and then.
No you are mistaken. She did not send Charlie Brown because she cared about his innocence or something. She gladly sacrificed Crazy88 for a chance to beat a tired Beatrix in 1vs 1.
She did that because the owner of this establishment was loyal to her... Hence she switched off lights to give Crazy88 a chance to win.... Charlie Brown here was an employee aka an uncertain factor. If you are fighting a life or death battle, you minimize uncertain factors.... And yes O-Ren was that crafty it was shown in the anime part of the film telling her life story....
@@bakairosan4126 Yeah but I was not completely wrong. Charlie Brown was innocent and had nothing to do with all of that. Even if he knew what O-Ren is all about to some extant, he still didn't deserve to die there and it was the right decision to let him go. At least on that- Do we agree?
Still one of the best female-centric action thrillers ever made. I cannot believe that Tarantino has never done a superhero movie (although _Kill Bill_ has all the elements of the best superhero narratives).
This Is a superhero movie. Its just an adult superhero movie.
1:22 man her eyes are full of pure anger and desires for revenge!!!!! Amazing scene!!!!
The amount of times I've rewatched this movie is unhealthy lol
I love when she calls for her... I get chills everytime
Uma Thurman sounds funny when she speaks Japanese. Other than that, she did a good job for her role.
I thought she was speaking chinese when she called O Ren Ishi.
@@fritzpace wHAT, I think there's no chinese in the movie ,_,
@George Tropicana thats not an excuse for her stupid accent, you idiot
0:02 if only she changed her ringtone after all these years lol
Right? 5 years with the same damn phone and ringtone lol.
Ennio Morricone, RIP great music master
one of the best moments in cinematic history
I love these "Oh, they're coming!" scenes in Tarantino's movies. That stare of death The Bride gives O-Ren is so good!
Ohhh daysz, Oren....she's just the villainess in white.
Ha! Her possy walking in was sick! Love the track when Beatrix is on her motorbike before going into the tunnel.... :)
Sophie deserved that and worse. The expression of her face as she held her arm out to grip the pillar she knew things would forever change. The look of Beatrice when she first sees Cotton Mouth I don’t think I blink the entire time.
No movie scene will ever blow me away during my first watch like this one did. Absolute masterpiece to this day. So fucking cool.
I always had a crush on Sophie
I bought the soundtrack to Kill Bill vol.1 and my only disappointment was "Death Rides A Horse" wasn't included.
thank you! finally found this music "Death Rides A Horse"
Awesome scene. Like death itself coming for O-Ren. The fear is there, before the bravado returns.
I love EVERYTHING about this scene. The music building to a crescendo, the business owners placating & being humiliated by Oren Ishii’s entourage, every actor here is exactly on point & they're all wonderful, the costumes that all seem like homages to various American, French & Japanese films, the gorgeous set so perfect for a dance floor & then a massive martial arts battle. The zooms to the eyes, the two beautiful women in the middle of so much death, the exaggerated martial arts sound effects. All of it works!! I've always felt, more than any other Tarantino film, that Kill Bill One is about the pure kinetic thrill of cinema without almost anything else being involved
CHARRRI BRANJA!!!
One of the greatest moments of cinema of all time.
In that moment, you knew, You Fucked Up.
❤this is the best part of scene kill Bill
God, this movie is so fuckin siick
The music is... incredible ! Just Quentin Tarantino can do it. He's the best
This is my favorite part of this movie.
I always though Beatrix made Sophie call O-Ren. As I see in the commentaries that's not the case, even though I still prefer it because I find it more creepy from O-ren's perspective. To hear a friendly voice calling you in that manner.
Wait, it ISN'T Sophie?
nope, Beatrix speaks fluent Japanese, it was Beatrix's trademark war cry.
Nick C She speaks fluent Japanese, so what does katana mean?
(I couldn't resist!)
@Motoko Chan It was a reference to Samurai Cop. :)
@@kjanjusz7007 lmao
I think people dont understand. Beatrix and O-ren were friends. Maybe Best Friends because Beatrix knows her whole background story. But they were also rivals. When O-ren sees her here. She knows shes no longer the best Assassin alive at this point. She knows how good Beatrix is. And she knows Beatrix is angry. Beatrix had to kill O-ren first because she was the best and also she had a personal army. Which was under Bill's control since O-ren technically works for Bill. Bill really has great reach around the world.
The soundtrack makes the scene perfect
The soundtrack is perfect
I remember watching this for the first time thinking Quentin Tarantino was the gutsiest filmmaker for making this movie the way he did. Later, I realized I had the subtitles turned off.
0:52 O-REN ISHII!!! SHOUBU WA MA DA TSUICHA INAI YO!
