Any preview thoughts about this? You can see the trailer here.

Looks like it'll be a pretty fun movie imo.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » May 8, 2003, 3:22 am

I read the screenplay last year(I am sure things have changed a bit in the shooting script). I thought it was quite clever and definately fit for QT

WOW! When is this going to be released? Knowing that this is a QT film I know I can expect a whole lot of bloodshed. When you throw hot women into the mix it can only make things better. Looking forward to this.

10.10.2003 is the official wide-release date

All I gotta say is, Uma Thurman tearing it up with a ninja sword to funk music playing in the background floats my boat just fine.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » May 11, 2003, 7:17 pm

If this flows anything like the screenplay, it will be a winner. Uma is just too fucking hot to ignore. QT, IMO, is one of the best directors of the last decade. He is WELL overdue for another gem.

saw the trailer for this with Old School.. can't wait.

Hmm... I suppose I could (and probably will) do an imdb search, but what was the last movie he directed? Seems like it's been at least 5 years since he has directed anything.

So um.
Exactly what is this movie about?

/awaits the mention of the obvious.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » May 15, 2003, 12:38 am

To answer a few questions:

1. What is the last movie Tarentino directed? Jackie Brown

2. What is Kill Bill about? I will make this a non-spoiler answer as it ain't even out yet and I am sure the screenplay has changed a bit: REVENGE.

If you want a spoiler answer, then lemme know and I will make a spoiler post...

Stumbled across a new trailer today, looks even better than the first one

Here

I noticed in the commercial I saw on TV that it said something like "Vol. I" in addition to the title. Anyone know if QT has some sort of plans to make a trilogy or something?

He has split this movie into two parts, the first opening on Oct 10 and the second part within 5 months of that date.

Couple of new trailers can be seen on this page right here:

The movie ran about 3 and a half hours long so one of the Weinsteins talked him into splitting it into 2 parts so they could make 2x as much money. I was a bit choked about it at first but a 3.5 hour action movie might be a little stupid anyway.

I've always had rooted for Quentin to succeed ever since I saw Resevoir Dogs. I'm glad that Kill Bill is getting good reviews already. Even though I thought Jackie Brown was great, a lot of critics and movie nerds panned it and said that QT was out of material.

How do I change what it says under my name?

Crav · Post by **Crav** » October 10, 2003, 7:54 pm

Just saw it and I have to say that is the most entertaining movie I've seen all year, maybe even within the last few years(Excluding the two LotR movies, yes I'm a nerd!). Gonna go see it again this weekend.

I can change that for you : )

You gotta purchase a title in the SHop...

As for Kill-Bill... I saw it today, I've never seen so many dead, decapitated, or dismembered people in one movie before ever.... It was mindless blood spitting, blood spattering, blood spraying action. I'd say the goriest movie I've ever seen... coupled with a cool soundtrack and super long fight scenes (good ones).

Sartori · Post by **Sartori** » October 10, 2003, 9:32 pm

My friends and I enjoyed it, my dad hated it. I thought it was like a live-action Anime. The over-the-top blood reminded me of Ninja Scrolls. I'll probably go see this again tomorrow.

Drustwyn · Post by **Drustwyn** » October 11, 2003, 1:19 am

Holy schitzen! Great movie.. Every one of my friends left the theatre stunned, wanting more.

The style and artistic merit is incredible. The blood and gore was sometimes a bit much for me (i'm a wuss though). But the plot and the acting was superb.

Post by **Xouqoa** » October 11, 2003, 1:53 am

Good stuff. Great dialogue, as usual!

Abelard · Post by **Abelard** » October 11, 2003, 5:29 pm

unbelievably good. Me and my friend Adam also noticed the similaritys to ninja scroll..anyone else notice a lot of the references to old kung fu movies and shows? Like the green hornet theme for instance..i figured that was a reference to bruce lee. Another being the samurai sword show down between cottonmouth and the bride..reminded me of fist of legend.

SONNY CHIBA ROCKED THE HOUSE!

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » October 11, 2003, 6:22 pm

Saw it.
Felt that the stories was decent, the acting was ok, the fight scenes were utter crap, the gore was unbelievable, and overall, I regret the fact that I spent money on it to watch.

Kwonryu DragonFist · October 11, 2003, 11:29 pm

Yes OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of tributes to late bruce lee!

Beside the Kato one, dont forget that the suit Uma Thurman is wearing is the yellow/black trimmed outfit Bruce wore in Game of Death!

Rivera Bladestrike · Post by **Rivera Bladestrike** » October 12, 2003, 2:17 am

Uma Thurman has a fantastic ass.

noel · Post by **noel** » October 12, 2003, 3:56 am

The most creative piece of film that's been put out in several years. Once again, QT surpasses expectations. So many little things that made it all work. If you don't like QTs style, you will hate this. If you know what to expect, you'll love it.

Akaran... you either get QT movies, or you don't. In no way a slam on you, but knowing you from the boards, I'm not really surprised you didn't like it.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » October 12, 2003, 7:30 am

Kill Bill is exactly the way movies should be made. The level of creativity and charisma this movie exudes is unbelievable. Certainly it is a movie for movie lovers.

Right now I am picturing you in the theater making a total ass of yourself and going "OH MY GOD QUENTIN THAT BLOOD IS _SO FAKE_ LOOKING!" while everyone else with a clue is simultaneously laughing at you and wishing you would catch cancer and die.

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » October 12, 2003, 9:16 am

I'm not saying it lacked creativity - it had it in excess.
Yer right Aranuil.. was pretty much thinking that same thing while watching it.

Abelard · Post by **Abelard** » October 12, 2003, 9:34 am

ah i completely forgot about the suit kwon! good point!

masteen · Post by **masteen** » October 13, 2003, 1:42 am

***mild spoilers***

This movie was so fucking cool. There was crazy ninja fighting, a redneck sheriff, more crazy ninja fighting, an anime segue, a psychopathic Japanese ninja schoolgirl, and that finale scene was just... wow!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the really cartoonish bloodspray didn't start until after the anime segment of O-Ren's backstory, right? Up till then, it seemed pretty much par for american action. I think the extra carnage was almost a live action homage.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » October 13, 2003, 2:25 am

the whole point of the arterial spray was to emulate the old japanese violent martial arts movies. that's also where most anime artists got their inspiration from when they animate gore. it wasn't supposed to look realistic.

vn_Tanc · Post by **vn_Tanc** » October 13, 2003, 6:38 am

Like in Shogun Assassin. Which rules.

Krimson Klaw · Post by **Krimson Klaw** » October 13, 2003, 2:24 pm

Realistic, no. Cool as hell, yes. the anime scene was pure QT genius, sticking it in the middle of this movie like he did. QT's style of bouncing around the storyline creates a click in your brain so loud that your neighbor can hear it, as you just 'get it'. The dialogue was very cool, especially the little dialogue that crept into the final scenes.

The only bad experience I had with the movie was having to run and take a piss break right when she entered the sword-smiths shop.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » October 13, 2003, 2:26 pm

**more spoilers**

My friends and I were talking about the part in the big fight scene when it went B&W. They were saying that it was done to avoid getting an NC-17 rating, but I thought it was done for artistic reasons. It really made it look like a B&W manga.

I also really dug the fight in silhouette, against the blue back with black gridlines.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » October 13, 2003, 4:28 pm

Hmm I'm pretty sure they went black and white mostly for technical reasons. They wanted a gratuitous amount of arterial spray but didn't want to cover uma thurman from head to toe with blood so they used water. You could actually tell at the end of the scene how much water there was all over the floor.

Acies · Post by **Acies** » October 13, 2003, 4:35 pm

I was suprised how much QT decided to immulate previous Bruce Lee movies. The fight cheoragraphy, the amount of opponents in certain scenes, identical. Very interesting

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » October 14, 2003, 9:29 am

No suprise at all....come to Austin during his film festivals at the Alamo Draft House. That and cheesy horror/sci-fi flicks are all you will see

dadi_ · Post by **dadi_** » October 14, 2003, 11:41 am

I liked this movie, but it would have been better if Uma Thurman was faster and more gracefull with a sword. She was extra slow and swung it around like a baseball bat. If you didn't notice this then you haven't seen enough/any good sword play movies.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » October 14, 2003, 2:29 pm

This movie brings new meaning to the term, dead lay.

I'm glad they took a good actress and taught her some moves, rather than trying to teach Engrish and acting to a kung-fu chick.

noel · Post by **noel** » October 14, 2003, 4:40 pm

I agree Uma's combat skills were the weakest, but they were definitely passable, and I think given that she hasn't been doing it all her life, she did a fine job.

i LOVE this movie. i will buy it and watch it until my eyes bleed. tarantino is brilliant.

well i think the water over the floor could be better explained by how she kept throwing people into the pools. Or maybe he put those in to cover for putting water all over uma

Sunserae's new avatar scares me ><

That being said, I really anjoyed this, and will definately need to see it again.
