Kill Bill Vol. 1 Who's seen it

[Trunks]

I ordered it this morning on PPV cause there was nothing to do or watch and i have mixed feelings abuot it....action was good....effect were crappy i mean come on, the blood squirting was completely ****ing fake looking and stupid, it doesn't spray like a water bottle and go "hiisssssssssss" everytime they did that i rolled my eyes, it was just horrendus.
So with that said, who has seen it, who has liked it, and who is going to watch or have already watched Volume 2

[img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img] Rented it a few weeks ago. At first I was completely stunned when it was over. Didn't know what to think. But it gradually sank in as a really exaggerated movie which made it extremely funny. You have to realize that all the movies that guy produced are strange. It’s just his way of making us laugh. Damn, I cannot think of his other movies right now.

I was disappointed. Maybe i'm just getting old [img]smile.gif[/img]

I liked it. Tarantino is an artistic genius. These movies are his homage to the old kung-fu movies which he loves.

The blood was supposed to have the fake look. That was intentional, not bad effects.

Vol 2 is even better than the first, which is a hard thing to accomplish.

To appreciate them more read Roger Eberts reviews of them, you can search for them here:

Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown..

The idea on all the blood squirting like that was supposed to be a take on old Kung Fu movies...
If you didn't get it, then don't see the second one.

The effects were supposed to be cheesy like the blood squirting. Gives it the classic kung fu movie feel

The blood squirting out was supposed to make it look like an old cheesy kung foo movie I think.

Does anyone think the blood was to make it feel like a cheesy kung foo anime movie?

2nd one has less action, but continues the movie. ITs actually one movie, that they cut in 2 parts because it was too long. YOu could actually cut out a 2 minute scene, recapping the first movie in teh 2nd one, and splice it in right at the end of the first one and it woudl be one movie.

Kill Bill vols. 1 and 2 are now two (or one however you want to look at it) of my favorite movies. If you ask me I think that Vol. 2 was the greatest sequel ever. It answers all the questions and just ties everything up perfectly.

The first volume was made to replicate an old samurai film.

The second volume was made to replicate an old spaggetti western.

You can tell this just by listening to the soundtrack for the first and second volumes. The first is mostly a mix of japanese music with a little western and some techno-esque music thrown in. The second is mostly western with some japanese and techno-esque music thrown in.

Good job on reading the previous post MustangEater [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I thought that movie was awesome, #2 was just as good too, with a little more info and less action(if I remember right).
