"Kill Bill - Volume 1"

What a cool movie.

I don't mean "Whoah" that was cool, I mean Fonzie cool. On the Aaaaaaayyyyy scale this definitly get's an "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy|yyyyy"

Cool tunes, the Bruce Lee yellow suit, "Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo", even the manga bit was kinda cool...and I can't stand manga.


Did you know: They filmed the Poison "The Bride" Ivy vs. The Crazy 88 gang in black and white to get passed the censors?
Yup.

I think it's down to the fact that she can't get into Kill Bill. I don't quite understand it as she loves the other Quentin Tarantino movies with their flash-backs/flash-forwards etc.

I'll get her to go in the end though - I'm very persuasive like that :D

It's got mine into martial arts movies. Crouching Tiger, Hero, Zu warriors, and to a lesser extent stuff like Charlies Angels and the Matrix movies. She loves the lot now. I don't quite undersand it, but I ain't going to complain.........

(Hmm, quick thought, a lot of them have girls kicking ass. I wonder if this is part of the appeal? I.e. Strong female characters.)

Don't spoil it! :D

I've yet to pick the DVD up, something always distracts me...

Probably won't be able to see Kill Bill 2 though, the girlfriend hates the first one and won't go :(

Heh, it was a great film. Loved the fight scene at the end just as that music starts. Rules.

Volume 2 is an 18, not a 15, I believe.

Yeah the Region 3 version offers a few extra scenes as well as the Crazy 88 scene in full colour. The bride scene at the beginning is still in black and white as it was meant for that.

Why the Crazy 88 scene is black and white is because they wanted a NC-17 or R(dont know which as I have read both in different places) classification in the US. I also read that it wouldnt have been released over here with out the change in colour for that scene. Also if you notice Kill Bill Vol 2 is only a 15 where as Vol 1 was an 18.
