THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST INSANE FIGHT SCENE WE'VE EVER SEEN!! 🤯 We have EARLY ACCESS to movies on our Patreon including KILL BILL VOL. 2! ▶ www.patreon.com/raggedypack Come Hang out in our Discord ▶ discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37
Edit: @Cojo Gogo's weapon is a modified Meteor Hammer, another one you might have been thinking about is the Rope Dart. Also I'm really happy you guys got around to seeing this one
@@tigqc No, niche culture inspired the film. The film massively inspired pop culture, being referenced countless times in other media, and spawning memes that are still relevant to this day.
I gave the benefit of the doubt and assumed he meant to say 'in' rather than 'from'. They did acknowledge they didn't know the origin of the song afterwards.
yeah that hurt... but yeaaah it happens to best of us, the "oh wait, it's NOT an original?" moment... I almost died when my friend asked me if ABBA covered all of the songs from Mamma Mia :D
Yep, but here's the kicker -- there isn't one note of original music in the entire film. It wasn't until Hateful Eight that he actually hired a composer to accompany the usual samples. It's funny cuz younger folks are actually reacting, (as you pointed out) to the usage of these samples in newer material. But what's lost on them is how obscure all this music was before Tarantino got a hold of it. Transformers, for example, got the sample from Kill Bill! The Ooh Ooh song, yes, was in an annoyjng commercial, but the commercial took it from this! It was unique and cool when we first heard it! Now, all this music is cliché. It's weird to explain to newer fans cuz Tarantino is also sampling, but let's face it... he introduced the music to general audiences.
@@PorterJustPorterYou sure? I could swear I remember when I first saw this movie recognizing that whoo hoo song instantly (and I saw this movie in theaters when it first released) and it not being obscure before the movie, but I could be wrong I guess.
Same here. Fortunately, we were all resurrected when the time finally came. Word sure got around in those 6 months. I saw Vol 1 on opening night, and noticed quite a few empty seats. Vol 2 rolled around, and there were no empty seats.
These two movies weren't just popular films, they were cultural phenomenoms. Arguably the most successful of all films by Tarantino, they reshaped pop culture during the 2000s. You will find countless references to them in music, film, tv and other forms of media. Many things that have become tropes ever since, were originated in this movie, and you will also hear its soundtrack used in many other movies. Kill Bill itself was inspired by the grindhouse explotaition films of the sixties and seventies, that's where its aesthetic comes from. Originally, Tarantino planned a third film to involve Nikki (the little girl from the first scene). He was supposed to film it ten years after this one to allow the actress to grow up. But eventually he lost interest in the project. Can't wait to see your reaction to the second one, really good as well.
While his three previous films are great, and had their impact (especially _Pulp Fiction),_ I think it’s fair to say that _Kill Bill_ is Tarantino’s all time extravaganza.
He's speculated interest in KBv3 again more recently, but unlike v1 and v2 it won't be considered as part of the same movie. I assume it will be called something else.
@@tzuydthe KB3 was probably scrapped because of falling out with Uma Thurman and that avoidable car accident that damaged Thurman’s body!! But I’ve read somewhere that they’re good now. So hoping for a KB3.
Fun fact: the California mountain kingsnake is the only snake out of the six that isn’t poisonous/venomous. But poison seems to be one of Elle’s favorite choice of weapons.
@@jimmcdonald4087dude yes there is you just added the king on the end but they definitely are still California mountain snakes 😂 it’s the same damn snake
@@samantharose1144 Ok 👍🏿 Though to be honest, I'm not entirely sure why someone would think about Maya while watching this movie--even if they have watched Stranger Things? Guess to each their own
@@Shrilaraune because for most younger people, this is the first time they’ve ever seen Uma in a film but they have already seen Maya in Stranger Things
Kill Bill (both volumes) have got to be one of my favorite movies just for sheer fun factor. The only way I’ve ever been able to describe it as the most ‘movie’ movie I’ve ever seen, it’s just made with such joy, passion, and eccentricity.
The girl who plays GoGo was in a Japanese movie called Battle Royale (Some say the inspiration for The Hunger Games) that Quentin loved and wanted her in his movie! That movie is a huge part of the success of battle royale style games!
Corey is usually pretty stoic but his eyes were big and round almost the whole time. and he smiled the most i've ever seen him smile lol also the editing for this vid was great 👌
So the ready The Bride’s name is bleeped out is because Quentin Tarantino said that it was a creative choice to not reveal his name until he felt the audience deserved to know what it was
The whistling is by Bernard Herrmann, and it's the theme to "Twisted Nerve" a Boulting Brothers movie from 1968. Alfred Hitchcock liked the movie so much, he hired 2 of the actors for his movie "Frenzy" from 1973. Both movies are a must watch, hope to see a reaction to them someday.
Just to let you guys know, Kobe did say he got the whole alter ego of “black mamba” from this movie. He thought it was cool and he wanted to translate that to basketball to get away from the personal stuff he was dealing with. Which explains the logos are similar as well. Rest in peace Kobe 💜💛
Fun fact , what people originally think is the last scene ( the bride getting shot) is actually the first scene, and what they think is the first scene ( showing up to vernita greens house in the pussywagon) is actually the last scene of volume 1 movie which occurs after she kills Oren Ishi, she flies back to the US to drive to vernitas and kill her. The pussywagon is used as a bridge to invert the beginning and the end of the movie.😊 So Tarentino subverts expectations off the bat. And there are little things such as when Oren Ishi says ' you may not last 5 minutes', the subsequent fight scene is 4 minutes 50 seconds until shes dead from when the music starts at the fight.
Ok. Y’all are all wrong. This was not a total Tarantino baby. While filming “Pulp Fiction”, between shots, Quinton and Uma would sit around and talk about how they loved the old 1970’s Spaghetti Western Kung Fu movies, like with Bruce Lee. So they started talking about about things like , “it would be so cool if he did this.” And the other would say, “oh! And what if she did that.” And Uma said, “why give her a name at first? How about if we call her The Bride.” They kept fleshing out the story line throughout Pulp Fiction and Tarantino wrote what they had talked about. That’s why it’s a “Q&U Production.” They used music from the beginning to the mid 1970’s, which is what they were going for anyway. Flight of the Bumblebee is dope! I’m a brass player and that piece scares me to death. While they were scouting locations, they came to a bar where the all girl Japanese group, The 5-6-7-8’s were playing. They were in high heels and then they took them off when they did “The Gong-Gong Song.” Tarantino said that they are going to be in his movie! I’ve got the soundtrack and can sing all of the songs in Japanese. Blake, I know you’re tired bless your heart but stay awake in the films. Lastly, everyone says they love Tarantino film but NO ONE will watch “Four Rooms!” The best of Comedy I’ve ever seen!
First off, this movie is from 2003 so yes there were cell phones lol. Second, your faces for some of the scenes, priceless. Third, can we please give credit to the stunt women for Uma Thurman...shes incredible. Great reaction guys, can't wait for the second one! ❤❤
Bleeping out the Bride's name was an homage to Clint Eastwood's character of "the mysterious stranger with no name" from Sergio Leone's "Dollar Trilogy". (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
The girl who played "GoGo" Lucy Liu's bodyguard was in a Japanese Cult Classic called "Battle Royale." The movie was about a bunch of students put on an island and forced to kill each other leaving only one standing. Yes, it was pre Hunger Games and the idea for Hunger Games was most likely taken from it. The students all wore uniforms(I don't want to spoil the movie just in case you watch it.) that is why "Go Go" is wearing a uniform in this movie. Can't wait for you guys to watch part 2! Very fun to see you react to this.
One of the greatest action movies of all time. This movie is a masterpiece!!! The gore and action in this film is so top tier. Sidenote: Look at Corey's hair though. 😉 Fire asf 🔥
The fight scene in the nightclub when you said, “He can fly”… All I have to say is watch “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. There’s a lot of flying going on.
If I'm not mistaken, the “Woo Hoo” song was used in those commercials after Kill Bill became popular. Like other songs from the soundtrack were used in commercials after its release like the “No, no, no, no, somebody” song (don't know the actual name of the song).
I loved this reaction, from top to bottom. The fact that everybody was talking over each other in the post discussion because everybody's so excited about the movie is the cherry on top, and pretty much epitomizes the Tarantino experience.
This is an homage to the old Kung Fu films. Shaw Brothers, etc. Sonny Chiba. Green Hornet. All that kind of thing. QT is a big fan , it is one of the reasons he is good friends with RZA
Corey in his Long Hair Don't Care Era :) :) Love it! Also, can't BELIEVE they haven't watched QT movies. They have a wonderful catalog to catch up with!
The actor Michael Parks, the Sheriff in Vol. 1, makes an appearance in Vol. 2 as a different character. Keep an eye out for him. He was an amazing character actor!
Not sure if it is true, but I heard a rumor that the change to and from black and white was an artistic way around rules regarding the amount of blood allowed for a rated R film. From what I understand, Tarantino was told it was so bloody in its first cut that it would have to be NC-17, so this was a way around the rating requirements.
I love this movie. It’s insane but still so empowering to me. I put Black Mamba in league with powerful female protagonists like Sarah Conner, Ripley etc…listened to the soundtrack for a year straight every other day because it impacted me so deeply.
2:12 Uma is also in Pulp Fiction & one of the Batman movies, she played Poison Ivy, you’ve likely seen the memes at least a hundred times with her in that movie
@@morganwilliams5541 The style bro, the style 🙄. FYI I was talking about Sam Reid's Lestat from the AMC show, not Tom Cruise 's Lestat from the 1994 film.
“I only know Uma Thurman from that Fallout Boy Song”…damn I feel old, first movie I saw her in was “Dangerous Liasons” 1988…most Gen Z know her as Maya Hawke’s mom😅❤
O-Ren and The Bride bowing to each other was something Lucy Liu suggested to Tarantino because it was something she learned while training for the film and the reasoning behind it was because while the two were enemies they still needed to respect each other because they’re both warriors.
The original of that song she's whistling at the hospital is from an OST of 60s movie called Twisted Nerve, a great movie Tarantino admires. Your rappers copied.
You guys are so dang enjoyable to watch. I am loving seeing these movies through your eyes, uncluttered by the time frame the movie was filmed in. Truly excellent react.
I thought the same thing. And then all the references to the soundtrack that they've heard elsewhere since. That in itself would've made me find out more about the source. Respect to The RZA 🙏🏽. Also, Uma and Quinton co-wrote the story for the screenplay 🖋
Fun Facts: The yellow jumpsuit was inspired by Bruce Lee's iconic outfit in the movie *Game of Death*. Additionally, Chiaki Kuriyama, who played the chain-and-ball-wielding assassin Gogo Yubari, her character, Girl #13 Takako Chigusa, in *Battle Royale*, also wore a similar suit. *Battle Royale*, which depicts the Japanese government forcing teenagers to fight to the death until only one remains, predates the *Hunger Games* series.
I love Quentin's movies but he was heavily inspired by martial arts films especially from the 70's. Check out "Kill Bill Vol 1: Where Does Homage end and Originality Begin" by Cinefix they break a lot down and have good points the director mentions in interviews.
This is why I actually appreciate the studio interference forcing him to release it as two parts :) SUCH A GOOD CLIFFHANGER. Plus the tonal shift between the two works quite well.
Movies entire point is mixture of old kung fu movies and old westerns.. Uma Thurman(protagonist) said to Quentin Tarantino that she wants to make movie like that and Quentin agreed.. this is not just Quentin, its also Thurman. But ye, Quentin is the director so you can see him better.
35:58 this song was used in a "Vonage" commercials back in 00s and Blake is correct, it got annoying because the commercial would be on all the time but this band was used in that commercial because of this movie, haha. And yep, Kobe got his name and icon from this movie. Glad you all are finally getting to this movie, can't wait for part 2 😎 Also, QT and Uma came up with the concept of this movie on the set of another of his movies, "Pulp Fiction."
Loves Kill Bill volume 1 and 2. You can see Quentin Tarantino’s love pure into the films as he added many visual references to classic kung fu and Shogun cinemas along with the soundtracks.
Do you guys agree that the scene at 20:48 where she’s about two slices Achilles tendon looks like a scene from the end of a Saw movie? Slow pacing and the music?
I adore the premise of this movie. It’s simply about the hero’s journey to revenge, and that sometimes not even a bullet to the head can stop someone from getting justice. It’s this weird mix of a cowboy western, and samurai film in the best way possible.
I like people watching movies that have had a huge cultural impact....Titanic, Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Kill Bill...great reaction. PS: Watch the miniseries Chernobyl (2019)....scary, dark, enlightening...
Now I can stop asking about "when's kill bill dropping?" LOL Just FYI Kill bill vol 1 & 2. Are suppose to be a mix of old kung fu movies and western movies.
this movie was huge when it came out...Tarantino had a ho-hum performance after pulp fiction with jackie brown, so people were really curious...it didnt get a lot of awards but it was still huge on pop culture immediately, Kobe did take black mamba from the movie, several of the songs were reworked into hits/commercials...RZA from wu tang wrote the original score...plus, its difficult to explain but it was just so cool....jaded cinephiles/audiophiles alike talking bout how a mainstream blockbuster was so cool, something rare nowadays...watching it at a packed movie theatre was something

FUN FACT. The Legend Kobe bryant. Got his nickname black mamba from Kill bill. Also Kobe got his symbol from the katana of these movies.
This movie predates everything you keep referencing. The music, other movies etc.

The opening fight sequence with Uma and Vivica is amazing.

Yeah the black and yellow is a Game of Death Bruce Lee reference
"Kato" was the name of Bruce Lee's character in the Green Hornet, and he wore that black mask the Crazy 88 wore.
You are so right. Tarantino loathed Bruce Lee. He makes no bones about it.

This is 100% true
I believe Gogo’s weapon is called a “Meteor Hammer”. It can also be a dagger attached to a rope instead of the ball and chain.
Black Mamba was almost killed by Gogo. Meteor Hammer is not a joke. And also, some ninjas prefer that kind of weapon.

I remember her as Venus in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen when I was kid in 1988.
I remember her as Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin
Kobe got his black mamba nickname after seeing this move.
O-Ren and The Bride bowing to each other was something Lucy Liu suggested to Tarantino because it was something she learned while training for the film and the reasoning behind it was because while the two were enemies they still needed to respect each other because they’re both warriors.
I would love back story on those 2. I could see them having a friendship of sorts. At least as much as O-Ren was capable.
The original of that song she's whistling at the hospital is from an OST of 60s movie called Twisted Nerve, a great movie Tarantino admires. Your rappers copied.
You guys are so dang enjoyable to watch. I am loving seeing these movies through your eyes, uncluttered by the time frame the movie was filmed in. Truly excellent react.
Gogo's weapon is called a meteor hammer, an ancient chinese weapon, also known as a chained Mace.
“I wonder if that’s SZA’s…parent” Ya’ll can’t be serious 🙌🏼
Now I need to wikipedia to find out who SZA is...
Haha... At least she actually admits that she got the idea from The RZA.
@@jerodast😂
I thought the same thing. And then all the references to the soundtrack that they've heard elsewhere since. That in itself would've made me find out more about the source. Respect to The RZA 🙏🏽.
Also, Uma and Quinton co-wrote the story for the screenplay 🖋
90’s? It came out in 2003. Classic movie. I remember buying the DvD and watching it twice in a row, that’s how good it was.
Meaning that Bride went into her coma in 99
Even 20 years later still one of my favorites...
"is that Uma Thurman?"
Are you shittin' me, you literally found that detail out before you even sat down to watch the film 😂
Fun fact, the Yellow in her outfit was chosen as it created vivid contrast in the greyscale segment.
When everything turns red and you hear that musical siren sound? That's from an old tv show called Ironside.
Fun Fact: Sonny Chiba (Hattori Hanzo) is the father of Mackenyu (Zoro from One Piece LA)
2:20 that song is very much about this Uma Thurman lol
The Kill Bill whistle has been my ringer for years.
Petition to have Corey wear his hair out more 💪🏾
The Rza....of The Legendary Wu-Tang Clan.
Them not knowing who he was shocked me. I'm getting old 😂
@aya9af yup. It's a wake up signal for me too. 🍻
Corey looking like white Jesus 😭😭😭
Jesus was white, all the earliest depictions have him with brown hair and fair skin
Fun Facts:
The yellow jumpsuit was inspired by Bruce Lee's iconic outfit in the movie *Game of Death*. Additionally, Chiaki Kuriyama, who played the chain-and-ball-wielding assassin Gogo Yubari, her character, Girl #13 Takako Chigusa, in *Battle Royale*, also wore a similar suit. *Battle Royale*, which depicts the Japanese government forcing teenagers to fight to the death until only one remains, predates the *Hunger Games* series.
I love Quentin's movies but he was heavily inspired by martial arts films especially from the 70's. Check out "Kill Bill Vol 1: Where Does Homage end and Originality Begin" by Cinefix they break a lot down and have good points the director mentions in interviews.
The Soundtrack was done by The RZA, whose a Member of the Rap Group The Wu-Tang Klan btw.
58:16 This still gives me chills even after 20 years
This is why I actually appreciate the studio interference forcing him to release it as two parts :) SUCH A GOOD CLIFFHANGER. Plus the tonal shift between the two works quite well.
@@jerodast Agreed
NICE!
My favorite scene in the movie is the fight between The Bride and The Crazy 88's, slicing and dicing them left and right.
51:08 little fun fact: their fight lasts 4 minutes and 59 seconds
That whistling theme is Bernard Herrmann's movie theme from 1968's "Twisted Nerve" starring Hayley Mills.
Wow! First time seeing Corey removing his hat and he looks gorgeous 😍
One of my favorite movies in the world!
fun fact: the battle between Black Mamba and O-Ren lasts exactly 5 minutes
Tarantino and Uma Thurman developed the character and basic outline together.
It was very tough to watch the reaction with all that eye candy that Corey and Igli were putting out. Thanks for the extra.
Blake’s face when Gogo kills the guy at the bar was priceless.
Movies entire point is mixture of old kung fu movies and old westerns.. Uma Thurman(protagonist) said to Quentin Tarantino that she wants to make movie like that and Quentin agreed.. this is not just Quentin, its also Thurman. But ye, Quentin is the director so you can see him better.
35:58 this song was used in a "Vonage" commercials back in 00s and Blake is correct, it got annoying because the commercial would be on all the time but this band was used in that commercial because of this movie, haha. And yep, Kobe got his name and icon from this movie. Glad you all are finally getting to this movie, can't wait for part 2 😎 Also, QT and Uma came up with the concept of this movie on the set of another of his movies, "Pulp Fiction."
Loves Kill Bill volume 1 and 2. You can see Quentin Tarantino’s love pure into the films as he added many visual references to classic kung fu and Shogun cinemas along with the soundtracks.
Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo) was cast after Tarantino saw Battle Royale. A must see. Forget The Hunger Games. Battle Royale is the real deal. :)
"RZA? I wonder if that's SZA's parent".......
Aight fellas, I'm gonna show myself out.
Bang bang My Baby Shot Me Down was recently sampled by David Guetta featuring Skylar Grey
The song that Blake was talking about in the beginning is called Uma Thurman by Fall Out Boy
Do you guys agree that the scene at 20:48 where she’s about two slices Achilles tendon looks like a scene from the end of a Saw movie? Slow pacing and the music?
Don't forget the original Pet Cemetery. That little walking dead boy took Herman Munster out with a scalpel to the heels.
Yes!
I adore the premise of this movie. It’s simply about the hero’s journey to revenge, and that sometimes not even a bullet to the head can stop someone from getting justice. It’s this weird mix of a cowboy western, and samurai film in the best way possible.
I like people watching movies that have had a huge cultural impact....Titanic, Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Kill Bill...great reaction.
PS: Watch the miniseries Chernobyl (2019)....scary, dark, enlightening...
Now I can stop asking about "when's kill bill dropping?" LOL
Just FYI Kill bill vol 1 & 2. Are suppose to be a mix of old kung fu movies and western movies.
Gogo's weapon is called a Meteor Hammer
this movie was huge when it came out...Tarantino had a ho-hum performance after pulp fiction with jackie brown, so people were really curious...it didnt get a lot of awards but it was still huge on pop culture immediately, Kobe did take black mamba from the movie, several of the songs were reworked into hits/commercials...RZA from wu tang wrote the original score...plus, its difficult to explain but it was just so cool....jaded cinephiles/audiophiles alike talking bout how a mainstream blockbuster was so cool, something rare nowadays...watching it at a packed movie theatre was something
One of the badass movies ever made. Kill Bill at it's time was ahead of its time. Never get tired of watching it.
