"Kill Bill DVD owners, we've been robbed"

Well you knew it was inevitable but:

"Yes, you've been robbed. And if you haven't, you're about to. Miramax is planning on releasing no less than six (SIX!) versions of KILL BILL on DVD with hopes of either conning unsuspecting viewers into buying more than one version or taking advantage of Tarantino devotees who collect DVDs.

It's an all-too-popular M.O. for home entertainment companies who repeatedly return to the same well in an attempt to get "multiple bites at the apple," according to Miramax Chief Operating Officer Rick Sands. The New York Times spoke with Mr. Sands last Tuesday when he revealed the studio's plans for six different versions. He said rather callously, "This is the beauty of having two volumes...VOL. 1 goes out, VOL. 2 goes out, then VOL. 1 SPECIAL EDITION, VOL. 2 SPECIAL EDITION, the two-pack, then the Tarantino collection as a boxed set out for Christmas...And you multiply this internationally."

You've all been robbed...Kill Bill is an awful overhyped piece of dump!!

My friend has just come back from vietnam; he bought kill bill there.
cost him 60 pence. And its all in english.

So yes, you've all been robbed :)

I'm still trying to decide whether to buy the current version of Kill Bill. If I do buy it though I'd be happy enough just to see the movie, as I'm not a big fan of all these special features that always appear on DVD's. You're only conning yourself if you buy the same movie twice.

i got the jap version and the diffence is there's no black and white cut scences and you see a few more japs lose some limbs :)

I got some weird collector cards and a box sleeve for the DVD case with mine.

That's special edition enough for me.

The Lord of the Rings series is perfectly fair on the fans, there is the theatrical cut for the normal viewers and the extended editions for those who are more keen.

Simple.

Kill Bill vol 1 & 2 will be on one DVD and be in japenese

Surely you lot saw this coming! its like the LOTR films, they have set a tread that will screw over dedicated fans of films. I`ll wait for the special editions or even the "one-cut" jap edition.
