Someone mentions how the Bride won't last 5 minutes against O-Ren. Time the fight. It lasts 4 minutes and 59 seconds.
Nice bit of trivia. I didn’t know this.
love that
The actor playing Hattori Hanzo is "Sonny" Chiba, a legendary Japanese martial arts movie star. Tarantino (obviously) loves martial arts films.
As seen in True Romance written by Tarantino
Gordon Liu who starred in The 36 Chambers of Shaolin is a member of the Crazy 88.
@@davidanderson1639 He's also Pei Mei in Volume 2
He played the role of Hattori Hanzo in 5 TV series. (Kage no Gundan/Shadow warriors). Grew up watching them.
Didn't think much of Bruce Lee lol
"I don't like watching movies from the middle" Says the girl watching Tarantino
Yup.
Yeah his movies are all over the place but in the best way
“A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.” - Jean-Luc Godard
There are several directors that did non linear movies before Tarantino was even born . Orson Welles , Citizen Cane 1941 is an non linear movie .
Fun fact: the fight between O-Ren Ishii and The Bride, O-REN says you won't last 5 minutes. The fight ends at 4:59.
The shot during the fight with O-Ren, of the close-up of the tipping water sculpture with them in the background and no sound but the wood hitting wood is easily among my all-time favorite shots EVER. It's perfect calm at just the right time, and the sound design for it is absolutely perfect.
It's a "Deer Scare" meant to make a noise every so often to scare animals away from eating the plants and flowers. Super interesting devices that have been around a long time.
I wonder which movie QT stole it from.
@@kevinramsey417 Negative Nancy over here! Not surprised this is how you spend your night1
The film isn't accurate to Japan, but there are a lot of little details like that which show how Quentin genuinely cares about showing the spirit of the country. The moment of still before the last bout in the silent nature, the old guy liking baseball of all things, it's all outlandish, but oddly authentic.
This came out at the same time as _Memoirs of a Geisha,_ and the comment from Japanese audiences was that both films are clearly western, but Kill Bill felt more like the director actually _got_ the country.
Obviously QT ripped that scene straight out of a Kurosawa film, but he knew what to carry forward and how to use it properly without it being cheap pandering.
@@samwallaceart288 Kill Bill is a film within the Tarantino film universe. It wasn't supposed to be at all accurate, and everyone is inspired by Kurosawa. He is one of the most famous filmmakers of all time. I appreciate you being a young fan, but you are reading slightly too much into it and might be in danger of sniffing your own farts.
The fight with O-Ren is a masterpiece. The setting, the sound, the music, the cinematography, the whole thing.
It was jus like a old Kurosawa or King hu movie!
The unnerving serenity of the water bucket tipping into the well.
@@adnap Loved that! 😁
The scene, yes… THE WHOLE movie. Absolutely incredible film.
Remember the scene in Pulp Fiction where she talks about the show she was in called "Fox Force Five" and her character was the deadliest woman in the world with a knife? I believe Tatantino had been working on the script for Kill Bill for years.
@callmecatalyst So yeah, you confirmed OP was right, Tarantino had been working on the script for Kill Bill since the Pulp Fiction days.
Yes BTW, the B&W transition was to avoid an NC17 rating. Good call. Brilliant the way he made it work with the eye pluck.
fwiw, the Japanese import/version of the movie has the whole scene in colour, no NC17 restrictions :)
Well, you're half right. Another reason why he did it in black and white was that on the day of shooting, the crew miscalculated how much blood they'd use for the entire fight. Half of it is the normal syrup made blood that's common in practical effects, then other times it's just dyed water. The Black and White filter is helpful to hide that, you wouldn't tell the difference, since it goes by so fast.
Fun Fact, Tarantino said that the filter is also a reference towards the Crazy 88, as there are 88 different Keys on a Piano keyboard.
@@TenshoDama96 And the transition to the blue was in homage to the final scene of the film Highlander and the fight between Conor Macleod and the Kurgan.
Thinking about that now that makes sense. Good trivia
When you direct a film in the future don’t forget to tell your crew to hit the record button. 😎
Tarantino, in an interview with Charlie Rose many years ago, talked about keeping the audience asking questions. He basically said that as a viewer, when he feels confused it's usually because of a mistake (a poor screenplay)... and that he's not supposed to be confused. However, he said it's ok to be confused if you feel you are in good hands... that the writer wants you to be confused, and will reveal the answer at the appropriate time. I always feel "in good hands" with Quentin Tarantino.
The yellow jump suit is a a honor to BRUCE LEE
Did you watch the whole video? She mentions this in the trivia section
Which is pretty ironic given his latest comments. QT likes appropriating and fetishizing Asian cultures, not respecting them
@@dapeach06 or... you like putting thoughts into other people's heads to get angry about in order to give your "I gotta be pissed" buton a push.
@@dapeach06 There's not a thing as "appropriating culture". It's made up. Culture has always been and will always be here to be shared.
@@szeltovivarsydroxan9944 spoken like a true caucasian
when she does the air square its a callback because this is the Fox Force Five pilot mentioned in Pulp Fiction.
No, although a Fox Force Five movie would be off the chain. But you're right about the callback.
@@kevinramsey417 its loosely based on FFF. Uma and QT came up with it during filming Pulp Fiction.
If you want to see Uma’s stunt double, Zoe Bell, check out Tarantino’s “Death Proof” where she stars and performs an incredible car stunt.
Death Proof is a must watch! Some of the best car stunts captured on film and a tribute with a twist to the great car chase movies of the 70"s. Side note: Zoe Bell is incredible, both as a stunt performer and a leading lady.
Zoe Bell is a goddess and I love her. Also Death Proof is a top notch movie.
My fave QT film!!!
@callmecatalyst Lol , ouch that hurts. I DO love "Deathproof" and it is so overlooked. #sob
10:44 Shanelle: (regarding the animation) “He can go more gross and bloody with it (than live action)
Everyone else: “Yeah, just wait. His live action is even more gory than the animation”
I was legit about to make this exact same comment lmao. Like, just wait until dude disrespects O-Ren. And that's just the tip of the iceberg lol.
Yeah I sorta thought about that too and then realized how weird it’d be to have an “11 year old” actress killing a pedophile while in bed with him lol and they’d theoretically need different actresses for all the different ages they showed O-Ren. Regardless of why he decided on animation, I’m happy with the decision.
@@Simon_Sez I would have been fine with that one. Child actors generally understand what heavy topics are being portrayed in their scenes as they have to be introduced to these topics by their tutors so as to not shock them into it.
The audience would probably be uncomfortable seeing such a thing in live action though. And let's not even get into the censors.
Anyways, I really liked it as an Anime sequence. I wouldn't have had it any other way, the animation was excellent and would fit perfectly on a standalone mature Anime. Not even within Anime this is that common but it is certainly praised when it is.
Btw, that was the Green Hornet TV theme played during the Japan Travelling plane and motorcycle highway scenes.
"Flight of the Bumblebee" Composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov 1900
Jazz cover used for Green Hornet by Al Hirt 1966
And the "Revenge Sirens" is the opening of the _Ironside_ TV theme
I got the Japanese edition DVD of this one: The Japanese cut includes:
1. Swordfights with the mob were in FULL COLOR..
2. SOphia gets BOTH arms cut off esp. in the interrogation scene of finding her daughter and Bill's locations.
3. A close-up shot of the female masked assassin screaming in agony while being stabbed by the bride during the fights.
4. The cowardly teenager who got spanked gets THROWN off in the walls earlier in the swordfights.
.... I want to see this this version
I remember being overtly excited going to the cinema to see this. The last line when Bill asks Sophie if the Bride knows about her daughter, the theater erupted in excitement, awe, and applause! The experience was inexplicable.
Literally can't wait for you to see part 2. Honestly such a joy to see someone watch film so actively and with such excitement. You've got to be one of the best doing this format.
More trivia: The song that plays after the Bride kills O-Ren Ishii is "Shura no Hana," the theme song from Lady Snowblood, starring Meiko Kaji (who also sang the song). Although Lady Snowbood is one of Tarantino's inspirations, in a dick move, he used a slightly edited version of the song to avoid having to pay royalties.
*pro gamer hax
I have no idea how these copyrights work, but how did he get away with using her voice? Does it count as sampling?
@@Northex23 I'm not sure, but different people have rights to a song based upon their respective contributions. If I had to guess, my guess would be that there was no way to avoid paying the composer, but he could have tried to get around paying the producer and/or the singer.
Fair use allows you to alter a copy of a work in order to create a new one. if you are interested in how copyright works i recommend you watch leonard french's videos. he is a copyright lawyer who goes over cases and explains a lot of it.
@@Lazrael32 True, but Fair Use also requires that the transformed work is made for the purpose of education, comment, criticism, or parody. Commercial and non-commercial is also a consideration. I'm pretty sure that using a (non-public domain) song in a movie is not fair use.
I'm glad to hear you say that it is ONE whole movie, just in 2 parts. I've seen reactors and reviewers refer to Volume 2 as the "sequel", etc. which it is not. There's no competition between the two film volumes like some want to inject.
14:45 “Y’all, Tarantino takes his mf time!” The fact that QT has a reputation as an especially ‘patient’ filmmaker says everything that is wrong with Hollywood today.
Tarantino: **takes his mf time**
David Lynch: Hold my shot.
Not sure if this has been mentioned in previous Tarantino films, but Zoe Bell, Uma's stunt double is one of the stars of his film "Death Proof" which is my personal favorite of his 😁😁 (and can't help but mention that Death Proof is the partner film to "Planet Terror", directed by Robert Rodriguez and the two [completely different styled] films make up the 'Grindhouse' Double Feature)
Action sequences in a Tarantino flick are more of a dance than a fight. They are art.
Also, Tarantino liked Uma's stunt double Zoe Bell so much he ended up putting her on screen in Death Proof.
"Why do I like these action scenes?"
Of course if the story is well written and you're invested in the outcome, you'll be more engaged.
But along with that he hired master fight choreographer Yuen Woo Ping (The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) who comes from the Peking Opera where the fights are the dance numbers and the entire aesthetic is about making combat as dramatic, intense, and *spectacular to look at* as possible. Even when there's no music, the fights follow a musical rhythm.
And Quentin watches a f*ck ton of action movies and knows every trick and has invented a few. Like the Matrix, this is a distillation of decades of these genres concentrated into one focused production made with contemporary tools and tech (when he chooses) and a big budget.
Why? Ennio Morricone, that's why
I'm really wondering what movies with great action sequences Shanelle would enjoy - I've noticed that she tends to check out during even really well executed, classic action scenes. They would have to be:
a. very character-based and clearly motivated, not just badassery or violence for its own sake.
b. practical, or at least with a minimum of CGI - if she hates Marvel climaxes, it probably has a lot to do with that they're almost always pixels fighting pixels.
c. visually stylish and striking.
Crouching Tiger seems like an absolute winner for all three. Kurosawa's epic yet grounded filmmaking would surely hit home for anyone with a filmmaker's eye. I'd think she would appreciate Cuaron's incredible sequences in Children of Men. Is she ready for the likes of Fury Road? Or John Woo? Maybe she should dip her toe into the amazing physicality of movie stars like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, or even Buster Keaton?
@@Melancthon7332 Atomic Blonde
@@dialecticsjunkie7653 I haven't seen it yet, but I don't feel like John Wick-style "hard" action is something she would go for. Unless I'm misrepresenting Atomic Blonde.
@@Melancthon7332 it's very hard hitting and gritty but it's also character based and reflect emotion. Definitely feels more defined than John Wick which is much more just about being cool
I feel like you’re missing an opportunity to say “ welcome to my Shanelle” 🤣
oui
You have one of the best personalities that I've seen on YT. It's awesome to see your perspective on these movies.
"True Romance" is a must
Definitely
Double definitely.
Triple Definitely
Hmmm... 🤔
Quadruple definitely.
The Big Toe scene is from an old John Wayne movie where he's paralyzed, in bed, and he chants over and over "gotta move that big toe...".
The wings of eagles “ that’s what I thought of also it’s great how Tarantino harkens back to older films and actors
“Blah blah blah...Foot Fetish...Blah blah blah..”
He combined his love of westerns/referencing westerns and his fetish??? I guess that makes that scene the most quintessentially Tarantino scene ever lmao. All that's missing is another character to play off of Thurman with witty, casual banter.
And a Dr. Scholl's product placement!
@@Ergoperidot - Actually it's a war film called The Wings of Eagles. Of course. I saw that scene on t.v. 59 years ago and I never forgot it. Remembering the line allowed the search engine to find it in .77 seconds. God bless the internet. I love your Bolero.
Fun fact, if you didn't notice in the intro: RZA scored this movies. RZA is a member (and basically the driving force behind it) of Wu Tang Clan. Whole group took a loot of inspiration from old samurai flicks they watched growing up. He even made a samurai-inspired movie himself (Man with the Iron Fists).
You can catch Zoe Bell in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Death Proof. When Brad Pitt threw Bruce Lee into Zoe Bell's car, lol. ... Also, Uma Thurman's daughter was the Manson girl that bailed. (She's also in Season 3 of Stranger Things, as a new main character).
Trivia: Buck’s “catchphrase” is directly lifted from Robert Englund’s character in Tobe Hooper’s dreamy-sleazy bayou slasher flick “Eaten Alive”.
That movie came out in 1976 when I was 8 and I remember my parents taking me and my sister to a double feature....funny the stuff you remember.
I scrolled back through the comments and I didn’t see where anyone pointed out the box of cereal in the beginning that Vivica Fox shoots at her with. The brand of cereal is Kaboom!
The last Crazy 88 that she killed - that actor also plays [name redacted]'s trainer in Vol 2
Okay unrelated, but I love listening to how you annunciate words. It's so crisp and pretty and pronounced, and it gives me an asmr feeling.
PROUD OF YOU for catching the ..."Square" ...reference to Pulp Fiction. only amazing actors like this can make the dorkiest of gestures seems SO COOL.
The drawing of the square in the air is an homage to an episode of The Flintstones btw. I remember it from when I was a kid. I had to have my parents explain why Wilma is doing that.
@@pebblesanddirt it's not necessarily a Flintstones reference, you thick fuck, it's more a thing/ gesture/ joke that was popular and more recognized decades ago in the 40s and 50s. It was a throwback in Pulp Fiction specifically because they have arrived at a "throwback" retro themed diner. It's not a random little joke by Mia, she makes the Square joke specifically to play into the theme of going to this place, which she chose. "You can get a steak here, daddio, don't be a square."
I just wish it had the cartoon square like in PF
If you remember in Pulp Fiction where Uma's character, Mia, says she was in a film called Fox Force Five, that was a prequel nod to this movie and Volume 2.
Shanelle, one reason you might find the actions scenes in Tarantino's film more to your liking : they are usually presented as the payoff to a suspenseful setup. It's tension and release. Most action films don't give you that, you usually only get the action scene, without the build up of suspense to lead you into it. And that is nowhere near as satisfying.
That's very clever.
I'm taking notes.
Since you mentioned Zoe Bell, Uma Thurman's stunt double in your analysis, hopefully at some point you'll also do Tarantino's "Deathproof" film which she has a leading role in, on screen as a character. She also appears in "Django Unchained" but only for a few seconds, and is masked and has no lines. Then she also appeared in "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" in one scene.
She's also in The Hateful Eight.
i didn't notice this until very recently - the cereal box with the hidden gun, the name on the box says "KABOOOM". Gotta love it.
Like I've said on another post, you need to watch "The Long Riders". The casting & cinematography is phenomenal. Director Walter Hill has created some of my favorite films. Another great classic from him is "The Warriors"
Your surprise face is amazing, kinda like evil laughter, glad to see you enjoy it, this movie has everything, it's a masterpiece.
Tarantino doesn't use cgi is his action it feels real and raw.
My favorite movies of his are Jackie Brown and Hateful Eight but I love them all .
No, but he uses CG to turn his blood into oil, which is my least favorite modern movie trope. Friggin' MPAA.
Max cherry bail bonds this is Winston
8:20 a few years back there was an investigation when a comatose patient was pregnant in a hospital so I’m pretty sure it does happen
Omg wtf...
Yep - I remember when this happened.
I love how when she speeds the time up during the 5678's WooHoo song, it just sounds like someone scrubbing windows with windex and paper towel.
You're really gonna love Snatch (2000) too! 🥰✌🏼
YES!!
Lock stock and two smokin' barrels I feel is the better of the two. Snatch is too polished.
Zoe Bell (Uma Thurman’s stunt double) is one of the leads in another Quentin film (literally plays herself as a stunt double) Death Proof - if u wanna see some amazing girl power it’s a Must Watch!
"I'm ok!" My whole theater started laughing at that part in Death Proof.
Oh, BTW that music was not from a commercial. That music was from this movie and then used in the commercial... While this movie was in pre-production Tarantino was in Japan and heard that song playing in a music shop he entered just as they were closing (he's told this story many times and it's different every time. Different shops, time of day, etc.. But basically the same tale)... He found the band who sang it and asked them to be in the video... The group in the movie is the actual band members...
Just FYI, whatever Tarantino film you're watching, and trying to figure out how a shot is done, you can immediately cross CGI from the list. He never uses it, as far as I'm aware.
Kill Bill is my favorite of all his movies. When he opens up with a quote from Star Trek I knew I was gonna love it.
It really is weird that Shanelle mentions she hates starting watching movies in the middle. No director I have ever seen messes with the timeline of events more than Tarantino.
true but that means she missed what happened prior to her starting to watch the movie.
Less than 6 minutes into this, I should tell you a. that siren sound music where everything goes red is from a 70's tv show called "Ironside", about a police detective who gets shot and is in a wheelchair, solving crimes, b. Uma Thurman making the square IS a callback to 'Pulp Fiction', and c. in Tarantino films, everything refers to something else! LOL!!!
No you shouldn't.
@@lordskeletorde I gave away no spoilers to the 2nd part, so . . . . yes.
if you ever watch this movie on cable tv. hands down worst/funniest line change is when B is slamming bucks head into the door and because its cable tv the line is changed to "your name is buck, right? And you're hear to...... PARTY, right?" lol kills me every time.
You were right in expecting a bloodbath of course. But I've always assumed it was a deliberate little joke that the water feature that Johnny Mo falls into after losing his leg has become completely red by the end. It's become a literal bloodbath!
The actor playing swordmaker Hattori Hanzo is Sonny Chiba, star of the now-legendary THE STREET FIGHTER (1974), a film chock full of the kind of gory ultra-violence that earned '70's martial arts films their mostly undeserved reputation for being bloodbaths. It was Japan's answer to Bruce Lee, and it is astounding.
As mentioned, the yellow jump suit is an homage to Bruce Lee's "Game of Death" released in 1978. It was the last movie Lee was filming when he died. He had filmed about half of the movie and was replaced by Ho Chung-tao who looked very similar to Bruce Lee and acted under the name Bruce Li. Footage from Lee's actual funeral was used in that movie and caused numerous movies ripping off Lee's likeness now know as Bruceploitation films.
That ending always. Chills down my spine
Love that you saw this one. I once used the O-REN fight for an verbal report in a cinema class in college. The film scene checked all the boxes in the report from cinematography to audio design. To this day I feel Kill Bill is some of Tarantino’s best work.
Saw this in the the theater and it was one of the few movies I've seen in the theater where people applauded at the end.
Larry McKonky was also the Steadicam op for the long walking-through-the-kitchen shot in GoodFellas.
SHANELLE you don't miss! Another favorite movie(s)!
She really selects top-notch movies, doesn't she? Love it.
"If any of you sons of bitches have anything else to say, now's the fucking time!"
I love that line.
Just discovered your channel and have been through so many videos already. Your style of commentary is exactly what i'm looking for in reaction content. Thank you! ;D
I want to bet that Quentins sets have "Hair", "Makeup", and "Feet" artists on a daily basis.
and 5 people to mop up blood.
QT went into a record shop and heard the 5,6,7,8's on the store sound system and asked the clerk what it was and bought the stores only copy and that is how it ended up in the movie.
Bruce Lee (game of death) was wearing the same jumpsuit. I'm pretty sure that's why Uma Thurman was wearing it. Just a little subtly that enhances the film.
Sheriff Earl McGraw previously appeared in From Dusk ‘Till Dawn and later appeared with his son and daughter in Grindhouse.
The suit she wears is a homage to the suit Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death.
The eye getting ripped out is a nod to the scene in 5 Fingers of Death
The guy who gave her the sword is Sonny Chiba, he was in a really brutal martial art film called The Streetfighter
That bit with stakes gave me Dragonball Z Abridged vibes "The stakes have never been higher - and before you say it, the price isn't actually steak." "I wasn't thinking that." "Yes, you were."
Very smart breakdown along the way, love the reaction! :)
Thank you! 😁
1 minute in and I have to jump in and say that getting a new perspective is 10000000% why I watch reactions/critiques of media. I already know what I think; I want to know what other folk think
Great review. The scene at the end in the rear courtyard is visually so stunning and the music is perfect. Tarantino’s music choices are always spot on.
I saw a discussion of great sword fights in cinema, and one stands out in my mind. The way it was described, two samurai faced each other, neither moved for over a minute, and then in one move taking only a fraction of a second it was over.
You should do the original "Highlander" movie. You'd have a hoot at the infamous drunken duel on Boston Common. But there are also interesting transitions and very efficient use of their available funds.
16:30 Black and white was used due to movie classification/ rating being different in US. The Japanese cut of Kill Bill that was screened didn’t have the black and white scenes. They were in colour.
"...and do things you couldn't get with live action" LOL
Brilliant reaction! fyi. I came across your channel this morning and have spent my whole day watching your reactions... it's now 1am dammit lol
These two films have heavy influences by the old Lady Snowblood films.
Obviously, Tarantino draws from MANY other places as well but Snowblood is one of the most on the nose and obvious.
When she kills O'ren, the theme from Lady Snowblood plays.
This is QT's love letter to martial arts films. Sonny Chiba, the actor playing Hattori Hanzo, is a LEGEND in this capacity. Strangely enough, it is not his first time playing Hattori Hanzo--who was an actual Japanese general, not a swordsmith. In terms of swordmaking, the most famous swordsmith in Japan was Masamune. If you come across a genuine Masamune sword, neither you, nor your children's children will ever have to work again. There's only a few known to still exist---HOWEVER, a lot of them disappeared during WWII when they were taken as souvenirs by US soldiers. So there's a chance there are priceless swords sitting in someone's attic or garage with their owners completely oblivious that they are priceless relics.
17:00 the line "go home to your mother" is a homage to the 1961 Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo, starring Toshiro Mifune.
My favorite scene in the movie is her fight against the Crazy 88's! It's amazing and we'll choreographed.
In the japanese cut, it's actually in colour and longer
Yuen wo ping the master helped.
this sound track gives me goosebumps phenomenal director - love his movies
a fun fact about the O-Ren Ishii fight lasted exactly 4:59 from her stepping forward to when her heads cut off :)
I took a 3 week vacation touring China and Japan in 2006 and played this sound track over and over during the trip. Every time I hear the music it reminds me of my vacation…it was amazing…
Every other reviewer: Wow, this is so bloody
Shanelle: They did that in Matilda!
Lol!
It was maybe my favorite comment from her during this video.
16:42 That is part of it. If the whole scene of the fight between the Bride and the Crazy 88s been in color, the movie would have been given a NC-17 rating outright due to violence alone. So Quentin had to put part in black and white but he didn't have to for the Japanese version of the movie which was in color.
I was in Tokyo for a few months in 2000. At that time Auld Lang Syne played in stores at closing time to let people know it was time to leave without confronting them directly.
Cant wait to see your take on Gordon Liu in Vol. 2 He's in Vol. 1 as part of the Crazy 88 but his role next time is perfectly fitting considering he has a long history with that role in Chinese cinema.
Too bad the original lo lieh wasn't still alive, tarantino said that was his favourite actor in martial arts movies.
Fun fact if you remember in Pulp Fiction, Uma and were talking about Fox Force Five during the Dinner film. It was at that time She and Quinton started to lay the ground work for this movie.
Fox force 5 was thought up before they spoke about Kill Bill
Fun fact: her name is written on her plane ticket real blink and you miss it moment
13:57
Finally been waiting for this... this story is the largest extention to his original screenplay the Bride, which is just the origin of * beep*
You look at the relationship between Hanzo and his assistant in the shop. They bicker like an old married couple, but when it came time for the sword ritual, oh, that was beautiful.
Father and son bickering like a married couple?
That's some messed up Rick & Morty stuff, there.
I saw KB 8 times in theaters, 3 times the first week it’s released. My friends waited almost 2 years to see it cause it was filmed in 2001. Entertainment Tonight kept showing bits and scenes of the movie while QT was still filming
One of your best reactions. This and II are in my top ten. Your joy makes me happy. Keep it up. The fact that you loved this means you’d love The Boondock Saints.
Boondock Saints, awesome movie
Amazing film for St Patrick's day, or any day of the year
I think Shanelle would be the perfect date for a slacker flick.
Such a strong stomach, and seemingly not phased by any amount of grotesque violence.
Awesome.
I'm thinking you meant slasher flick 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Freudian slip?
In the final fight, when O-Ren tells the Bride that she (theBride) better have saved her strength or she won’t last live minutes, the fight lasts exactly four minutes and fifty-nine seconds.
I think Tarantino said that he wanted to teach himself to shoot action sequences in this movie. He said "If you can shoot action well, you can shoot anything well." or something to that nature in behind the scenes thing that was on the DVD back in the day.
I saw KB1 in the theater. When it ended, I didn't know that there was any sequel planned. I thought that the story was done. So I thought it was simply an artistic choice: frame the film like some first episode in a long serial (that would never actually be made, but pretend alluded to). An homage to the serial adventure stories from film and tv. Like a tv pilot for an adventure series. I thought that was a bold but powerful choice, and I thought it was ingenious.
I found out shortly after from a friend, on the walk out of the theater, that there was in fact a sequel already planned. Oh.
I still like the idea of KB1 as a standalone pilot for a multi-season run of a new adventure series. With her traversing the globe, through countless adventures, always in pursuit of her final adversary Bill, battling through his army of minions to get to him, and making new allies and discoveries, and acquiring her trademarked gear along the way.
There is an exetended/director's cut for the lobby fight scene. Some of the squibs misfired( they were clear in the colorized version) , hence the filter. It's also just a dope solution to get a lot of the gore past the sensors.
Always fun to see someone like Kill Bill as much as I. Looking forward for your KB2 reaction.
QT says KB is a movie that the characters in Pulp Fiction would go to watch in the cinema. That's why it's extra stylized.
Remember in Pulp Fiction when Mia talked about the pilot she was in, Fox Force Five. Sounds alot like parts of the plot in Kill Bill.
