I saw this in the theaters. Imagine the cinema going completly pitch black, and all you can hear is her breath when she starts to panic, and the dirt that is being thrown on top of her, as she is being burried alive. It was a terrifying scene to go through. Amazing movie. Amazing writing and amazing cast.
It was incredible, the best!!
Happened in Serpent and the Rainbow, too. I saw that in theaters as a kid in the 80s.
Tarantino is one of those directors that is really worth seeing his work in the theaters. Kill Bill 1&2 is still my fav, but I love all his work. I hope someday they follow through with his idea of making The Hateful Eight into a live play.
"Since your arm now belongs to me, I want it strong."
I'll always love that it was Pai Mei's arm that avenged him against Elle.
The look on Uma Thurman's face when she sees her daughter is the best shot in both movies in my opinion. It ranks up there in instant movie tear jerks
🤗 THIS is how you write a strong female character. Can we go back to the 80’s and 90’s, please?! I miss movies like this. Pure masterpieces in my opinion.
I agree. Even more so, when she comes out of the coma and thinks her child is dead. I can't even watch it. I just skip that whole gross scene, it's such a bummer, with those dudes.
Every SINGLE time I watch that scene, and BB says, “Did you dream of me, Mommy?” I sob like a baby.
For me it’s the close up of her eyes when she thinks to snatch out Elles eye. Her face is bloodied snd dirty with fierce bright white eyes. Amazing
@@nowthatisawesome5431well this movie is from the 2000’s soooo … lol
My favorite part of the trailer fight scene is how many times Beatrix intentionally stopped Elle Driver from unsheathing her sword. A subtle way of saying “No that’s my sword, you’re not worthy” such genius choreography.
The fight choreography in the trailer fight tops any other fight in both movies, for me. The way they utilized the trailer- the narrowness, the flimsy walls, the hallway...and you get those character moments that show more of Elle's history with Beatrix as well during the fight...genius.
Elle, being unworthy, kind of says it all. A new revelation just came to me as I watched this reaction. It's really kind of unrealistic for Elle to be training with Pai Mei. He would have seen right through her and turned her away. Don't you think? Only thing, it was a vehicle for Beatrix's final revenge upon her, avenging her master Kung fu style.
@@mgordon1100 I always thought Pai Mei took on training Elle more out of respect for Bill than any potential he saw in her.
@@ScientificallyStupid that's the absolute only way he would have taken her. But I don't think he's the kind of man to abandon his principles. Bill may have been a model student, but he's still a student. That's got to be very high respect.
@@mgordon1100 I am with you, it doesn't sound too plausible, but it's all I've got.
It’s tragic because Despite everything that happened, they both still loved each other
Pai Mei grew to like & had a soft spot for Beatrix which is why she is the only one he taught the 5-point-palm-exploding-heart-technique.
Now she is the master. One of my fav movie(s) of all time.
🙏
Yeah, and out of all people that earned Pai Mei’s respect, only Beatrix earned it and learned his coveted move.
She broke his heart both psychologically AND physically.
Wow!!! Uma Thurman played this role perfectly!!! She's like the real life version of a female anime character.
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ I don’t think I’m saying what you think I’m saying.
We get it! Double Entendre 😂 Thanks
YEAH, SHE DID
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ Yea she orveracome her shit almost alone and overpower strongest villains thats anime trait....
Asia: "Did she take her eye out??!! *Screams *Covers her eyes
BJ: Big old grin 🤣😂
The biggest cheese lmao
Cheesing like a mf 😭😭😂😂😂😂
I live to see people's reactions to Beatrix plucking out Elle's other eye. You two did not disappoint. :)
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey."
Fun Fact: At the end of "Pulp Fiction", when Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) says that he's going to walk the earth like Caine in "Kung Fu", Bill (David Carradine) is who played Caine.
Also, the Beatrix-Elle fight is one of the best fights in cinema history. It's so brutal, so visceral and you can really feel the enmity between the two of them. "Bitch, you don't have a future" is one of the most cold blooded one liners ever, just epic.
I use the phrase all the time now.. especially since eggs are now higher than Richard Pryor and Nikki Sixx* in the 80s!
* Richard Pryor dated Nikki Sixx’s moms in the 60s.. I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall back then!👶🎸🔥🤟🏾
If you look up “Raising Arizona trailer fight scene” you’ll see where he took inspiration from for the Beatrix & Elle fight, quite a few similarities. Still great though.
Remember in Pulp Fiction when Butch grabbed the sword in the Pawn Shop? It was a Hanzo. Supposedly it was Bud's.
@@DennisBraspenninx 🤯🤯🤯
@@DennisBraspenninx he lied tho..it couldn't be his
Watching this when it came out in the theatre. The darkness and the sounds of her being buried alive was crazy. Vivid memory that I won’t forget.
If you haven't already, watch the movie "Buried" with Ryan Reynolds, it is insane
Yes, I remember being quite shaken after this scene in the theatre. This scene made me feel like I was there with her. Really stuck with me after that. Couldn’t imagine being buried alive. ⚰️ 👀
yeah it felt like a lot of people in the theater thought the video had gone out
@@michaelhudson2912 Yeah man the theatre was pitch dark and the last light was that sliver coming from the opening in the casket before it was nailed down tight.
I still can't do MRI's cuz of this.
I have never seen a reaction of such pure joy as you two when she took Elle’s other eye! 😂😂😂
Tarantino originally planned Kill Bill to be a single film. Unfortunately it was much too long and he did not want to cut out any of these great scenes. Because he couldn't make a 5-hour movie, he simply broke it into 2 parts.
They should release a one movie cut that's 4 hours long. It would be so cool
The scene where Beatrix punches her way out of her own coffin is so stirring and inspiring to me, especially with the Ennio Morricone music but I wish you would have included her asking for a glass of water all polite in the diner despite looking all crazy… so damn funny
That was HILARIOUS 😂 And the dust coming out of her while she crosses the road lol
@@anacarolmsc😂😂😂
That part was definitely a nod to zombie classics 😂
Tarantino uses Morricone music so well in his movies. A true master making full use of the genius of another master (RIP).
The way I CHEERED when I saw that y’all reacted to Vol. 2. 🙌🏾
No joke..... earlier today I jumped on your channel to see if you had done part 2 yet hahaha. I'm excited for this reaction!!
Probably I did the same yesterday lol
You guys started without me ha ha ha (guess it’s due to time difference) ? 😂great reaction
i did that too like 4 hours ago lol
We were as excited as y’all!! Thanks ❤️❤️
Uma deserved an Oscar for this 👏🏼
David Carradine telling a story about a Shaolin monk when he played a Shaolin monk in Kung Fu always tickled me.
it always tickled me seeing him try to play a bad guy when he's such a kind soul in Kung Fu. he comes off as sweet and charming for the most part when he plays Bill but knowing it's a facade makes it really creepy.
Kung Fu tv show was Bruce Lees idea. They said he looked too asian lol and cast Carradine instead
Meta
Gordon Lu playing Pei Mei who he fought in the early 80’s on Kung Fu theater is kinda funny to
The look on BJ's face when Elle's eye was plucked out! The very different looks on both yalls faces. Good stuff. Note how the black momba recoiled and hissed when she walked by. No way was it messing with her.
That's what they call in the biz "professional courtesy."😋
🤣🤣🤣
"Bytch, you don't have a future." Best line ever!
As a kid my older cousin got me hooked on his collection of Kung Fu movies. I saw and feared Pai Mei in Shaolin Executions, Abbot of Shaolin AKA The Slice of Death, Clan of the White Lotus, Shaolin Rescuers, Shaolin Avengers, and Wu Tang vs. Ninja. So I was elated to see him in Kill Bill Part 2. That dude is the Sith Lord of The Eagle Claw technique.
Gordon Liu is a legend(as well as the original White Lotus, Lo Lieh) but yeah i have around 75 Shaw Bros. movies and my favorite is The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin, aka Master Killer 👍
@@SeenGod That's a good one. The sequel is good too. "Rooftop Kung Fu!" Dude's like Spider-Man on that scaffolding.
OK here's a little fun fact..... Do you remember the scene in Pulp Fiction with Mia Wallace (Uma) and Vincent Vega (John) when they were at the diner and Mia was telling Vincent about a Pilot she did for a TV show? the name of the TV show was called "Fox Force 5." Mia said Fox Force 5 was a team of female secret agents (5 of them) and each agent had a specialty, the black girl was a demolition expert, the Japanese girl was a Kung Fu master, and the blonde character that Mia played her specialty was knives. The assassination team in Kill bill is Fox Force 5, the only difference is bud, bill's brother is the 5th member of the assassination squad instead of a female. That was Quentin Tarantino's hint in Pulp Fiction for what his next movie was gonna be. Pulp Fiction came out in 94, kill bill came out in 2003.
And wasn't the sword used in the shop scene of Pulp Fiction the one this film said was pawned??
@@that.ll_do_pig he never actually pawned it, for some reason Bud lied, the Bride uses it to fight Elle.
@@that.ll_do_pigyes and the scene in pulp fiction takes place in a pawn shop lol
BJ, Uma and Quentin were just shooting the shit one day while they were filming “Pulp Fiction” and they came up with the character/concept of “the Bride”. Kill Bill evolved from that throwaway conversation. Totally, totally cool. ❤️❤️❤️
Part 1 and Part 2 are both equally amazing. You can't have one without the other for sure. The action sequences and drama in both parts are just palpitating.
@x Literally. Some people can’t deal with exposition heavy movies. Probably the same people who hate books.
"b*tch, you don't have a future" is one of the coldest lines in any action movie. absolute stone cold delivery on that.
In my humble opinion, the fight scene between The Bride and Elle is the best fight scene Tarantino has ever made. No matter how many times i see it, it still amazes me and almost physically hurts me, just by watching it. Beautifully written, filmed and edited.
One of my favorite lines of the movie was when the spit can gets thrown onto Elle and she just says, “Gross.”
This movie had THE most realistic human eyeball I have EVER seen outside of real humans!! I LOVE that moment!!
BJs face stayed lit up like a kid on Christmas morning through KB 1&2 😂
How did y'all feel about the Superman description Bill used?? That was my favorite dialogue in the movie!! Great reaction y'all once again!! Peace!
Yes I love that dialogue
It was amazing.
That fight between Elle and Kiddo! Such a great reaction, guys
Fun fact, most of the training part of this movie was directly taken, scene-for-scene, from the movie, "Bruce Lee vs. The Ninja" 1978
Those Bruceploitation movies were so bad haha
I think y’all didn’t catch that she woke herself up punching the wall because she was punching the wood in her sleep, too.
repetition, have happened to me too, I roundhouse kicked my wall in my sleep and woke up, I was lucky i did not break toes or ankle, but it happened because we had been drilling a lot of kicks in the mma training the last 2 weeks....so had a dream i did not remember and muscle memory just kicked(no phun) in
The fight with Elle is one of my favorite fights in cinema.
Asia practicing her kung-fu was worth the price of admission alone.
Asia was all of us in the basement in the 1970s watching kung Fu movies practicing our moves in front of TV. Lol.
They should add an Oscar category for best feet acting. Maybe it would convince Quentin to make few more movies. Uma was taking of her shoes in this one at every opportunity 😂 and it was suprisingly fiting.
Yeah Tarantino loves those feet!!😏😆
Quinton is that you? 😂
😆When BJ was saying, "There's just something about a woman...they're hardcore..." I was thinking, "You'll be sleeping with one eye open tonight, grasshopper."😂💥
It’s honestly because I love watching my people react to my favorite movies and characters
SHE IS SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS !!! NO MATTER WHAT I LOVED HER IN PULP FICTION
The flute that David Carradine plays during "The Massacre At Two Pines" chapter was made by Carradine himself. It is reportedly the same flute he used for the movie The Silent Flute (AKA Circle of Iron, 1979) and the flute he carried along with him during the entirety of his portrayal of Caine in the Kung Fu television series. During the shooting of Kill Bill 2, Tarantino decided that this flute was the best way for Bill to tell the back story.
Yes!! Cannot wait to watch this =D I will admit to crying my eyes out with this one....that whole mom instinct thing
Also, fun facts, Daryl Hannah (Eli Driver) went crazy in that bathroom scene thinking it was so over the top it would be hilarious and she'd get one over on Tarantino. Turned out, he loved it. And Gordon Liu played Johhny Mo in the first one but also played Pei Mai in this one
Loved this reaction❣ I remember seeing this in the theater when she was being buried alive. The darkness, the surround sound of the dirt covering her and her panicking was almost unbearable. You guys would LOVE Jackie Brown by QT. So GOOD! Cast: Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, etc!
Oh man, the Bridget Fonda scene wore me OUT as a teenager .... gotDAMN!
Pam Grier still is my benchmark for any sista I date because she is all that and a bag of BBQ potato chips.
Yes! Jackie Brown is my personal favorite of Tarantino. I hope you two watch it soon!
She took her eye out using the Snake Style. With the strike speed of a "Black Mamba" 🐍
I would not get on that floor picking up money until any and all Mambas were accounted for, damn.
"was that the five finger...death punch? ...that part" 💀💀
Love the fight between Elle and Beatrix, so brutal, “Bitch you don’t have a future” still one of my favorite lines from a movie.
The dialogue in these films is so efficient and perfectly toned. "Wrong brother", for example, when Elle answers the phone to Bud - in two words, we learn something that could have taken a couple of entire lines.
I love LOVE LOVED this reaction. Totally loved all your expressions. Fabulous. Uma trained so hard for this movie because she wanted to be taken seriously. She Rocked it!! See you next time.
Lol kung fu practitioner here, the style she was using to fight with Pai Mei and the method she used to take the eye out was not actually crane, but shequan, the snake style. It’s hand gestures are the same utilizing a spear fist, or extending the fingers, and striking vulnerable areas, however snake is largely considered one of the most deadly of the kung fu forms for reasons you’ve just seen. It is indeed used to strike at and out the eyes, as well as targeting other vital areas of the pressure point system including the throat, groin, and diaphragm right under the chest which controls breathing, as well as utilizing wrapping techniques with arms and legs to break opponents down one limb at a time. This style is often accompanied by speed and gymnastic ability however certain forms may utilize strength and ground striking and grappling. The style is quite literally designed to mimic snakes not only in movement but the very effects of venom as well by crippling, blinding and suffocating your opponent. Very hard to actually pull the eye out but as far as movies go, very accurate depiction of what it’s intended to do.
To clarify, she quan is a defensive art, though often perverted for offensive use, it is supposed to mimic snakes purposefully in understanding the mindset of the snake which simply wants to be left alone. Snake style like all animal martial arts, should mimic not only the movements but the mindset of the animal that it follows. Snake is often seen used as an offensive form when it should be used wisely and strictly for defensive purposes.
I can't stop laughing at Asia's face.the pouting ninja.🤣🤣🤣
11:21 If I’m not mistaken, an episode of Mythbusters addressed that question! You could breathe for about 45 minutes 😂💀⚰️
We had a siamese cat we named Pi Mei because he would fight the Ferrell cats in our woods so we had him fixed and he was such a badass he grew one of his balls back.
One of the reasons why the trailer fight scene is so legendary for me is because of the real life drama between the two actresses. Apparently they are not fond of each other at alllll and the chemistry as a result of their real personal feelings for each other, make that scene absolutely magical for me…this may be my favorite fight scene in the whole series for me
Loved BJ's face when she ripped out the eyeball. 🤣
Great video! Fun fact, the actor who played the leader of the Crazy 88 in part 1 also played as the old karate master. I thought that was cool.
Kung Fu was a VERY popular TV series in the seventies. I watched it every week. And, yes, David Carradine was the lead in it.
I'm a film critic from Salt Lake City, and a new Patreon member for Asia and BJ. I love your videos because you remind me of why I love movies so much. I see the joy that you have watching movies and even decades later for some of the movies you watch, you remind me why I love the movies you watch and react to. I'm too poor to recommend films on your Patreon account, so I will just have to watch and see what you do next! Much Love!
Hey, Thanks unck42!! We appreciate your words and love / support!! ❤️❤️
You guys gotta watch Reservoir Dogs... Tarantino's first major film and and amazing experience
I think we will eventually see a Kill Bill Volume 3 with the one assassins daughter taking revenge for Uma killing her mother.
About 5 months after Tarantino sells the rights to Disney.
Sadly he said his next movie will be his last.
But maybe one day
@@dreworyan5652
Didn’t he say the same thing about that Hollywood movie?
@@robbob5302 No. he said he’ll only make 10 films and retire on a good note
As someone else mentioned below, you two NEED to react to "From Dusk til Dawn," a really fun Tarentino-scripted thriller!
I wish y'all had continued to watch it all the way through the credits where they show everyone and the roles they played. Some people played multiple characters, like the man who played both the sheriff and the pimp, or the guy who played the leader of the Crazy 88 and Pai Mei. Also, there's a bonus touching moment where it goes through all of Uma Thurman's alias' in the movie, like Black Mamba/Beatrix Kiddo, and ends with "mommy". Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time.
And Elle Driver or Diver with a big question mark 😂
Kill Bill Vol. 2, while not as action packed as the 1st, was more powerful to me, especially on a psychological level. From seeing more of Uma Thurman's past of being betrayed by Bill & the gang, to her almost being buried alive, her fight scene in the trailer, finally meeting her daughter, & the final confrontation with Bill, were all just very stunning & amazing for me. The homages to movies from the 70s, especially Martial Arts films in this case, just shows the brilliance of Tarantino. I'm glad you both checked it out & hope you'll definitely check out another one of his films in the future. Another great film director that's also friends with Tarantino & collaborated with him & vice versa, is Robert Rodriguez who directed some great films that actually had Tarantino join for not only writing screenplays, but also made cameos in Rodriguez's films like, Desperado & From Dusk Till Dawn. Plus, their double feature tribute to grind house movies in the past back in 2007, that being Rodriguez with Planet Terror & Tarantino with Death Proof, is a perfect example of their collaboration, more so, great films to check out for pure entertainment.
Their relationship is probably the single most dysfunctional relationship in cinematic history. I love it.
Shout out to RZA for his contributions to the soundtrack.
David Carradine.... When the words legend comes to mind..... YES
When Kiddo takes that other eye of Elle's, Asia has the most shocked look on her face and BJ just has this full-on look of "hey, I'm impressed!"
When Kobe christened himself The Black Mamba back in the day, my first reaction back then was, “Oh, like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill?” 😂 She’s a badass, has the best “rugged” look I’ve seen. You’re right BJ, there’s something about it.
Yay !...part 2 !!...
I knew you would like this..yes answers..action..and closure...
David Carradine (care-rah-dean)..was the Kung Foo actor..a western world with a shaolin priest roaming from town to town...though it wasn't my choice of shows..my brothers watched every episode...
Asia I caught the music video of you singing today !!..Beautiful !...we are blessed to hear your angelic voice...thank you...
Have a glorious week...🌿🌿🌿
Thanks Pamela ❤️❤️ Aww!
How she is not in every talk about badass killers, I will never understand. She deserves all tha praise. Iykyk... If you dont know... HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW!?!?!?! 🫣😤😬
I loved Asia's excitement when Beatrix came out of the grave. And BJ was on point with the one-liners like always. Great Reaction.
Uma Thurman's father is a Buddhist scholar and the Dalai Llama used to stay at their house when she was growing up. Y'all should also review the 2002 musical "Chicago" if you have never seen it before. I have never seen a review for it online, maybe that's because of copyright lol but even if you can't do a video on it you should watch it
The Genius of Pai Mae's training is that he makes her use the chop sticks to keep her fingers and hands flexible to stop them seizing up through the brutal training of punching wood. 🙏
Great reaction! I absolutely love this film! RZA and Robert Rodriguez went crazy on the soundtrack for this movie!
"Audible Sharpness" is the name of the trope, btw. All of Hanzo's swords were extremely sharp, and the one he made for Beatrix was his masterpiece.
That is a real Black Mamba that was in that suitcase. I used to work with them. Very nervous, terrified snakes that over react to predators like us.
Thank you so much for reviewing this movie. I've been waiting for this. I love this movie. The best line from it; "The venom that's released can be Gargantuan. You know I've always liked that word Gargantuan. So rarely do I get to use it in a sentence." Brilliant 😹
I've always loved the scene where Bill tells the story of BB killing her goldfish. It shows that BB might already have been affected by Bill raising her, and that Beatrix was right in wanting to get away from him.
The actor playing Pai Mai, Gordon Liu, started in many classic Shaolin Kung Fu movies in the 70's. The scene with her carrying the buckets of water up the hill was similar to a scene in one of his movies.
Bruce Lee was famous for the one inch and six inch punch, which he learned in Wing Chun and improved on. There is video on TH-cam of him demonstrating it compared to someone else too. Oh and Asia, no matter how much you stroke the air and flick your hand to the side you won't be growing no Gandalf beard.
So glad you guys enjoyed the ride!! It's hard to say which Tarantino film is my favorite, but Kill Bill holds a place in my heart - in the end credits when Beatrix's aliases are listed (aka The Bride, aka Black Mamba....) it always gets me when "aka Mommy" comes up. Dang, Quentin! Such a genius and an unexpectedly heart-filled storyteller. As a little kid we had this VHS rental store nearby and they had a few posters from recent films up on the walls. I remember looking up at this huge yellow poster of a woman in a black and yellow suit with the title "Kill Bill." It always stood out to me and whenever we went to the store I would just stare at it, curiously; and it was easy for a kid to remember because the title rhymed. Fast forward to high school and I finally sought out the films on my own. I'm forever grateful to that little girl whose eye was drawn to that poster and never forgot about it (she had great taste and didn't even know it 😊😆). Weird, but also cool how some stories feel like they call to us and wait for us to come to them. I guess that's another reason why this movie is so special to me.
Fun fact is that when we find out The Bride's name is Beatrix Kiddo, not only do we get it why Bill's nickname for her is "kiddo" but there's a hint in Vol. 1 at her name when she and O-Ren say "Silly rabbit, TRIX are for KIDS"
Also, if you go back to the grave when the guy is digging and the original coffin is open off to the side, one of the corpse's hands is sticking up and in the lighting, the hand casts a shadow that looks like a bunny rabbit. Yup. 😂 That grave escape sequence is beyond incredible! I felt Asia's reaction when she finally climbs out! 🙌🏻Uma brings it with this performance; I believe the background info on "created by Q & U" is that Quentin and Uma were workshopping this story about a bride while filming Pulp Fiction.
Finally, I just love the parallel to Vol. 1 beginning with Bill's betrayal set to "he shot me down, bang bang. My baby shot me down." And then when Beatrix finds her daughter, her baby, B.B. "shoots" her, "Bang! Bang! Mommy." Loved BJ vibing to the music in the final showdown, my favorite song in the movie too!
I was in tears the first time I saw Beatrix bust through that casket. I was terrified for her and even knowing it was a movie, I was in my feels. The films were originally supposed to be just one long film, but the way it is now, meant Tarantino didn’t have to sacrifice anything. No deleted scenes means we saw it all. Fantastic film(s).
I have probably watched these both 20 times. I couldn't click fast enough when I got the notification.
Anytime my hubby is taking the long way to answer one of my questions, I spread my arms out, palm up and ask: where's Bill?
Shogun Assassin is such a great movie. Fugitive shogun travelling with his infant son. The series is called Lone Wolf and Cub. The movie is Shogun Assassin. Terrific!
They obviously weren't really showing Shogun Assassin to a 4 year old it was a cartoon they were really watching according to the "making of kill bill".
Tarantino is over the top, scary what runs through his mind,lol. Glad you found the answers you were looking for. Thanks Asia and BJ
When she took Elle’s eye, I burst out laughing so loud in the theater that my wife said i embarrassed her.
I'm glad you guys liked this and the part when he talks about being 3 feet from your enemy and Asia goes "I don't wanna play!" LOL had me rolling....you guys are the best lol
"She whupping her with an antenna?" 🤣🤣
The Five Finger Death Punch 💀 I’ve never thought of that before.
Q&U = Quentin and Uma. Her daughter being alive was a big shocker in the movie.
💕 You both should watch 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' with Geena Davis & Samuel Jackson. Awesome movie! 📺
The way you reacted when Elle got her other eye snatched out.. I LAUGHED!!
Yo bj’s face when that eye got snatched says it all 😂 much love y’all
In pulp fiction there its a part of the movie when mia wallace (Uma Thurman) explains to Vincent Vega (Travolta) her first and last job in a tv show about a group of agents and assasins and she declare that her character was a knife expert assasin, coincidence?
@ 27:38 Bebe says "Bang Bang!" to Beatrix ... and the song at the beginning of the movie (Vol 1) is "Bang, Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down".
Fun Fact: 2 actors play 2 different characters in vol. 1 and 2, Johnny Mo/Pai Mei (Gordon Liu) and the sheriff/Esteban (Michael Parks)!
2 of my favorite movies, I watched several times at the theater!
BJ, there's nothing to check out. It was created by Q & U. (Q)uentin Tarentino & (U)ma Thurman. They collaborated on the idea for the movie while they were shooting Pulp Fiction, they thought of the idea during the shoot. The closest thing, you've already seen is when Uma tell John Travota about the pilot she shot for "Fox Force Five" during their date in Pulp Fiction. You can hear when she describes it, it sounds very close to the plot of Kill Bill....
The odd music when she hones in on someone is from an old series called "Ironside" starring Raymond Burr as a paralyzed sleuth detective. It was in black and white, so likely late 60's?
incredible! I was laughing when she took her eye out and sis asked did she take her eye out!? And unconsciously held her hand in that Italian 🤌🏽 lmao
Budd was mad at his brother Bill because he told Bill back in the day that Kiddo was gonna dog him out in the end and hurt him.
Budd was mad at Kiddo for breaking his brother Bill’s heart.
Gordon Liu played the old master. He also starred in my favorite Martial arts movie, and what some consider to be the best Kung Fu film of all time, the 36th Chamber of Shaolin.
