What's the betting we get a Kill Bill vol 3 where this blind blonde chick who's grown curiously immune to black mamba venom hunts down the daughter.........

Read in the papers that he wants to make Kill bill Vol. 3 sometime...

Hes gonna shoot some of the film now, and then let Both Uma and the "daughter" girl age and then maybe he will do the movie.

The daughter are gonna seek revenge on Uma this time

I wasn't trying to compare them. I was trying illlustrate that I was in no way entertained by KB1. Most disappointing to me was the lack of a real script. It was all a variation of

"Now, you will die."

"No, you will die."

"Bring it on biatch."

Which is pretty cool but not very subtle. Especially when the director has it on the "repeat mode" ad naseum.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't think the entire movie was a POS, the scene in the snow was one of the most brilliantly shot scenes ever (even IF Uma and Lucy weren't breathing out any steam in an obviously cold climate). QT is a mother of a director, he just underwhelmed me with this one.

If violence to the nth degree is your thing, then this movie is the Citizen Kane of action movies, which isn't a bad thing.

Hmm I heard about this part 3, but I heard it was going to be animated by the "ghost in the shell" studio.

Kill Bill is a tribute to Kung Fu/Karate movies and spagetti westerns. The dialog is the way it is for a reason. The music is the way it is for a reason. If viewed with this fundamental understanding, you begin to see the cleverness of the film. If not, you'll most likely see it as average (thus overated).

I like that Q pays tribute to the movies that inspired him as a kid. Jackie Brown was a movie that did this to the extreme. I really enjoyed that flick because of it.

I also appreciate that Tarantino casts classic genre actors in his films. It was great to see Sonny Chiba in Kill Bill, Vol. 1.

Well, crap! I guess I'll have to go rent the DVD of Vol 1 now, and make plans to catch Vol 2!

I was prepared to write this one off as another QT craptacular production, like the first half of "Dusk 'Til Dawn". Let's face it, DTD didn't become interesting until Salma Hayek showed up!

Cleverness does not excuse lack of engaging dialogue or character development, or any semblence to a plot (other than "Chick gets pissed, gets sword, kills everyone. Fadeout".). As a tribute I felt the movie would have been better had QT been subtle with it (such as when XXXXXX makes the comment about being a square, and then draws half a square with her other hand, a subtle throw back to PF).

This was just too over the top for me. I am glad some found it highly entertaining, and I did like a lot of the cinematography, it just seems to me that QT is too focused on getting the point of his "This is cool, isn't it?" vibe all through the movie.

I don't know, I'll probably watch in again in 6 months and declare it the best movie EV4R.

Five point palm exploding heart technique. Damn good movies.

Volume 1: Action

Volume 2: Much more character driven, though not as much as Pulp Fiction.

I prefered the soundtrack in Volume 1 much more than Volume 2.

I think I liked volume 2 better, but it's really just one big movie, so I'll just say that I like it. I liked the soundtrack in the second one better too, but it was good in both.

Mini D · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2004, 07:50:39 AM »

I liked the soundtrack in 1 better also.

2 was definately different. Hell... Uma only killed 1 person. I did enjoy the movie a bit more and actually enjoyed the fights a bit more too.

Ok, saw Vol. 2 today and I must say it was an amazing movie. Everything that was missing in the first was brought out in this one. Uma did a helluva performance in this. I actually walked out of it wanting to buy another ticket and see it again.

"5 point exploding heart technique"

LOL, where does QT come up with this stuff?

No, seriously, seeing that eye pluch is well worth the price of a movie ticket. Everyone go watch this film now.

Ever heard of Fist of the North star?

I did think KB2 was a bit less violent for my tastes considering but I think the 2nd one was more story to it so that's why . I did enjoy the training scene with the Kung Fu master,that was hilarious.

If KB1 seemed too caartoonish it was because it was meant to be that way not only was it a nod to the things mentioned above but to anime as well re: japanese in schoolgirl uniform girl with a big chain and spikey ball, there's one reference to um

PS Ladykillers is an awesome movie I was laughing through most of the movie.
