Kill Bill was originally meant to be one movie, but because of its long run time the studio decided to break it into two volumes. Thats why they releases so close together.

Yes and no. Tarantino has said that he had to artificially inflate volume II because Harvey Weinstein's greedy ass told him they could make it two movies and make twice as much money. The reason was greed, not run time.

In the Japanese version, the fight at the Blue Leaves is a few minutes longer and entirely in color, since they weren't as worried about censorship of the violence. It explains a few things, like why the teenage Crazy 88 has no mask. The Bride tears it off during the fight, sees he's a kid and throws him away. It's also why she gives him that look before spanking him with the sword, because he didn't learn his lesson the first time.

Actually, few People ever notice, but in pulp fiction(about 10 years before this movie) , when Vincent Vega takes his Boss's lady out for dinner, thurmans' character explains about doing a pilot of a show about secret killer agents with cool nicknames. Basically the premise of Kill Bill in a nutshell, only more lighthearted and a sitcom, rather than a movie. I find that fascinating. There are too many similarities for it to be sheer coincidence. It's crazy that Uma is thé one to explain the plot and to be acting the lead in this 10 years later. The craziest part is Tarantino must already have had some idea of the plot for this movie, 10 years before he actually made it, at a point in his career he was still up and coming, had made 1 critically acclaimed movie, and just made pulp fiction that could'of been a hit (which it obviously was) or miss (that could've destroyed his career before it really took off).

The tune Daryl Hannah was whistling is from a 1968 British film called Twisted Nerve composed by Bernard Herrmann who also did music for several Hitchcock films including Psycho.🙂

Movie has a nonlinear narrative; "Copperhead", the second target, is crossed off the death list approximately 12 minutes into the film; "Cottonmouth", the first name is crossed off at about one hour and twenty minutes; finally we see the death list being constructed on the plane to Tokyo. Interestingly, we don't see that list in Volume 2 at all.

Tarantino also said he was forced to inflate the script for volume II.

YES!! The fight scene with The Bride and The Crazy 88's is my favorite part of the movie!

Sonny Chiba who played Hattori Hazno is the father of Mackenyu Arata who play Roronora Zorro in NetFlix's live action adaptation of One Piece. +

Kobe 100% appropriated Black Mamba from the film. It's always bugged me that next to no hoop fans know about it - they think he made it up himself. Every time I've heard "Mamba Mentality" over the last two decades, I immediately think "Uma Mentality" 😂

Your reaction to the final line about the daughter is how it was with the crowded theater. The music really adds to it. I still get chills.

Uma Thurman is an exceptionally talented actress, and she delivers a commanding and captivating portrayal of The Bride, balancing vulnerability with steely determination. It's all in her attitude, her eyes, the way she smiles, even when it hurts. Thanxxx for your amazingly wonderful reactions by the way. Absolutely Fabulous! Such a treat... 😎🖤👍

When Sonny Chiba (Hattori Hanzo) was teaching Uma Thurman the sword he was almost scared of how good she became. I used to dream I was Black Mamba slicing everyone up with my sword.😂😂

I watched this movie with my mom before she passed. After that, my dad and I watched Volume II. This movie is so iconic and holds a special place in my heart now.

The master swordsmith is played by ‘70s martial arts superstar Shin-Ichi Chiba (aka Sonny Chiba, “The Street Fighter”). I love the esoteric use of music on the soundtrack: Al Hirt’s theme for “The Green Hornet” and Quincy Jones’ theme for “Ironside.”

Saw this as a middle schooler w/ my mom at a hotel. Always remember laughing my ass off at the first blood fountain.

My hot take: Tarantino doesn't actually legitimately have a foot fetish. He included some shots in some early films and people ran with the rumor. And him being who he is, he leaned into the persona as being in on the joke.

I think what you missed is that O-Ren couldn't be the first fight we see, since it was obviously more epic; but O-Ren was probably first on the list because she was in Japan, and the bride happened to be there, to get her sword made. other than hiding her name on the list, there was really no better way to approach this dilemma

One of my favorite little details is the box of cereal's brand name is 'Kaboom'

Chiaki Kuriyama, who played the character Gogo Yubari in "Kill Bill: Volume 1." Gogo is a young and deadly Japanese schoolgirl who wields a meteor hammer, a chain and ball weapon. Chiaki Kuriyama also appeared in the Japanese film "Battle Royale," where her character, Takako Chigusa, wore a yellow tracksuit similar to the one worn by Uma Thurman's character, The Bride, in "Kill Bill." The yellow jumpsuit in both cases pays homage to Bruce Lee's iconic outfit in "Game of Death."

Someone else mentioned the cut backstory between ORen and the Bride, but perhaps another reason for the out-of-order chapters is that the giant showdown at Blue Leaves is much more fitting for the end than the more personal in-home fight at the start. I saw this at the theater and was initially underwhelmed; but upon seeing it with Vol2 it became (and still is) one of my favorite movies ever. They work so much better as a whole, IMO of course.

Seeing them back to back, I understand. BUT the filmmakers themselves didn’t seem to think so. We waited for half a year for Vol. 2.

31:34 "... leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now." - The Bride, and previously, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Edit. You could say the last thing to go O-Ren's "mind" was _Hattori Hanzo_ steel.

Great eye on the Kobe Bryant logo. I never heard anyone mention that before. R.I.P. Black Mamba

I still remember seeing this in the theater and my mind blowing up when Bill revealed the child was still alive. Good memories.

Well the movie was billed as Part 1, so we knew there would be a part 2, so the starting the movie with copperhead didn't take anything away, it added style.

30:57 - The guy she's fighting here is the famous, legendary kung fu actor, Gordon Liu (aka Lau Ga Fai) who is the immortal "Master Killer" from the iconic Hong Kong cinema film, "36th Chamber of Shaolin". Gordon Liu also plays another character in the Kill Bill Vol 2. He play Pak Mei aka, the White Browed Priest (hence where I get my KZread handle from, lol). He unfortunately, suffered a major stroke just a few years after the making of this movie, and he can no longer practice Kung fu, or act. It's actually a pretty tragic story behind all that too. Just Google it and you'll see what I mean.

Glad you two reacted to this awesome movie! Nice break down. Can not wait till 2. You both are cool.

Yes! You must watch and react to Vol. 2 at your earliest convenience! Is much better to watch them back to back if you can!
