Pulp Fiction. Actually you should do them all and in order. There are a TON of references of previous films in the latter ones. Can't watch Pulp Fiction without watching Reservoir Dogs.... You really shouldn't have seen Kill Bill without seeing Pulp Fiction first at least 😢
You just blew my mind. I saw both movies the years they released and have researched them both at least twice (really love these movies). But I never realized that detail about Pai Mei's "arm" getting the final blow til just now. Thx for that.
Bruh you just blew my mind. Two decades and a couple rewatches and that detail never occurred to me lol. I thought I knew most of the lore... just shows there is always something new to learn.
Not just that. Their last fight is pretty symbolic: sword and sheathe coming together as they did as man and woman, then she breaks his heart. But the first time, Bill tracked her to the end of the earth. This time, he walks AWAY from her, and she's the one left to get on with life.
Michael Madsen (Bud) told a story in an interview that he wore that cowboy hat to the set everyday and Tarantino hated it. Told him everyday don't wear the hat and he didn't listen. So one day Tarantino goes "you know, now I can't imagine you without the hat, I want you to wear it in the movie" and then wrote the scene where Bud's boss trashes him and forces him to take the hat off 😂😂😂😂
It's not really explained, but the reason Karen left from killing her, is because assassins have a code against killing children & pregnant women. It's the same reason Beatrix didn't kill that kid that was in the Crazy 88. Great & classic story.
@@elusiveDEVIANT They both did the same thing to each other, the only difference is, Beatrice was more emotional cause she did care for Bill more than she admitted, she was willing to keep her baby with him. What Beatrice said was telling, "I thought you could do those things, but to me?" She showed more emotions than Bill but Bill showed just how much he cared and was upset with Beatrice in his own fucked up way. In the end, they both fucked each other over because of emotions, in the end, they both got their revenge they wanted even if it didnt seem. And they're literally assassins, you cant just gang up on one of the team mates and not face a revenge plot. That's why media and people who study or love media says, 'Make sure the person you want dead is actually dead! Double tap!" I don't care it's an explosion, we better see a body or some thing that says that person is alive or else revenge plotnis happening
@shayla106 and she left them. Hurt them. Hurt bill. She clearly was into bill, so I doubt it was a one sided relationship. In his eyes, she played him. Is what he did okay? No. But her judging him for her doing the same things. I dislike that. I get honor among thieves. But she broke the code first.
fun fact - Actor Chia-Hui Liu who was Pai Mei here, was Johnny Mo ( head of O-Ren's Crazy 88's in the first film ) & Michael Parks who was Esteban here was the Sheriff, Earl in the first film
he faught against pai mei in the movie clan of the white lotus. pai mei was a famous character in the movie executioners from shaolin. gordon lui became famous after the movie 36th chamber of shaolin...
Great reaction as always. Both Kill Bill movies are masterpieces. There's a deleted scene where a (slightly) younger Bill shows off his fighting style when he was traveling with Beatrix. What people always gloss over about The Bride/Beatrix laughing/crying in the bathroom... That is a side effect of the truth serum wearing off (as Bill stated), a feeling of pure euphoria. It's that, mixed with the grief of losing who was once her true love, the joy of carrying out her revenge and getting her daughter back, and the relief that it's all finally over and she can move on with her life in peace. People often think there should be a third movie where Nikki (Vernita's daughter from Vol. 1) tries to avenge her mother, but I disagree. The duology is perfect as is.
I am glad that Igli and Cojo were both horrified by Bill letting BB watch Shogun Assassin before bed, because Bill's parenting is vital missing context in the story of the goldfish incident; It plays into his analysis of Superman, and how he totally leaves out Superman's upbringing by his adoptive parents... notice that Bill said Shogun Assassin was "too LONG" for before bed, not "too VIOLENT"?? And Bill frames BB as the sole party in the goldfish incident, which WILL condition her to think her curiousity for violence is natural and innate to her, and not instilled from what Bill lets her watch before sleep And that is why Bill is worse than every other Deadly Viper combined: because he truly is the Snake Charmer who can charm anyone into becoming a snake, as he was doing to his daughter, as was implied he did to Beatrix ("your side always was a bit lonely" and he is HOW much older than she?), and as was implied he did to O-Ren. Yes, O-Ren... if you can recall, the man with the katana who killed O-Ren's dad and kicked the cigar butt into the alcohol had Bill's rings! And if Budd can notice Beatrix hiding under his trailer, then Bill will certainly have known O-Ren was hiding under that bed... so he knowingly orphaned her, then she coincidentally becomes a Deadly Viper later in life? Hmmmm... He does the same gaslighting to Beatrix as he did to BB, coercing her into admitting she enjoyed killing while telling her she simply is, always was and always will be, a "renegade killer bee"... but he is the one who shaped her for an unknown yet seemingly large portion of her life. Consider Beatrix herself says that Bill would have "claimed" BB, and that's why she ran, not to escape the assassin life but to escape Bill... So we have one explicit example of Bill manipulating a vulnerable girl to shape her into an assassin, and two implicit examples of Bill manipulating vulnerable girls into assassins Hattori Hanzo caved instantly when Beatrix said she needed a sword to hunt his former student, and Pai Mei taught Beatrix the exploding heart but not Bill -- his masters have far different regard for Bill, than the almost obsessive adoration Bill's students have for him, and when you look closely? It does become clear why
@@RealBradMiller thank you and you are welcome! Tarantino is known for his visuals and actions sequences and remixing older films, but he is also great with subtext which i think is easier to miss due the expectation of actions sequences; Death Proof is one his least popular films, and that was a film he went really hard into subtext while downplaying action ... it is also my fav! 😂
Wow I actually never thought abt the yakuza boss’s right hand guy was bill!! This was a great read. But question, why exactly do you think pai mei didn’t teach bill the 5 finger death technique?
@dess234 I am not certain, but consider that Bill will trashtalk Pai Mei to others, something Beatrix had never done even once (even if true) and something Elle did to his face (which he promptly punished)... of Pai Mei's three shown students, Elle has zero respect for him, Bill respects his power but seems to have antipathy to him as an individual, and Beatrix has total and absolute respect for Pai Mei with all of his faults included -- so because Beatrix came to genuinely appreciate and seems to even like ALL of Pai Mei's person, she was allowed to learn ALL of Pai Mei's techniques Pai Mei is a lonely old man after all, and an unpleasant one at that, so the fact Beatrix appears to have accepted him one person to another, I think that is why he accepted her as someone to be raised to his (lonely) level. Bill respected Pai Mei's power, but behind his back will emphasise how unpleasant he is... so Pai Mei shared his power, but kept his unique-to-him ability behind his back as well. he just paid back Bill in kind, because Bill was only after power, which he could have found elsewhere but acknowledged in Pai Mei, but Bill wasn't there for Pai Mei himself, so the one thing only Pai Mei could teach, he withheld Beatrix is probably the closest thing to a friend Pai Mei had, an equal... and he acknowledged this by sharing the one thing that ONLY he could teach
It's not originally a book. The bride is a character that Uma and Quentin created. Kill Bill (both parts) is my favorite movie ever. I just had to renew my patreon to yall to watch the second part early.
Back in the day, there was a show called Kung Fu, starring David Carradine, ' Bill '. He was a Shaolin monk who traveled around America kicking bad guy butts and playing a flute just like Bill.Very zen and a great reference to one of my favorite shows.
I had a Kung Fu lunchbox when I was around 7-8 years old. I loved that thing. I thought the casting of David Carradine as Bill was perfect. Quentin is chock full of GenX nostalgia.
Beatrix did not have a blood feud with Elle. It was Elle who had the blood feud with Beatrix because of her connection to Bill through their daughter. Remember that Elle was one of the people who went to her wedding rehearsal to kill everyone. So that was reason enough, but on top of that, Elle also killed her sensei.
The rock salt shotgun shells are an invention that was not really meant to kill, but to maim and to cause a great deal of burning and stinging agony. It is literally putting salt into the wound.
When it said based on characters created by Q&U, they meant Quentin (Tarantino) and Uma (Thurman). They came up with the idea while shooting Pulp Fiction.
Unfortunately we can't get the youths to drink these days. It's a good problem to have! 😂 Though I'm probably only a couple years older than them, I can't tell these days! Guys could all be fourteen, or thirty. 😅
Uma Thurman and the Driving Scene: UMA THURMAN ON HER ‘KILL BILL’ CAR CRASH Twenty years ago, Uma Thurman was in a serious car crash while on location in Mexico filming the final days of Kill Bill. Thurman suffered permanent injuries to her neck and knees as well as a concussion. It significantly impacted her life emotionally as she has felt betrayed by director Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein-both of whom she says basically abandoned her after the crash occurred. Thurman told The New York Times about her past experiences with both Weinstein and Tarantino. She details how Weinstein sexually assaulted her years ago in the “This Is Why Uma Thurman Is Angry” interview, concluding that of all the things she experienced, it was the way they handled the accident that hurt her the most. The first time he met Thurman, Tarantino was certain she would be the lead actress in his black comedy Pulp Fiction. The Red, White & Royal Blue star went on to play the iconic Mia Wallace in the movie, hailed as one of the greatest films ever made. The role launched Thurman as a Hollywood A-lister, and her performance was honored with an Oscar nomination. Known as Tarantino’s muse, Thurman not only lent her star power to Q’s movies, but she was also a creative contributor. The duo’s next project was the martial arts film Kill Bill, and Weinstein was co-chairman of Miramax for Kill Bill just as he was for Pulp Fiction. The combined production for both Kill Bill: Volume I and II lasted 155 days. It was during the final days of filming that Tarantino asked Thurman to drive a blue convertible Karmann Ghia for the famous scene in which the Bride drives to kill Bill. However, Thurman had been informed by someone in the production that the car had been reconfigured from a stick shift to an automatic and might not work properly. For this reason, Thurman says she let Tarantino know she wanted to pass on driving the car and instead have a stunt person do the driving. “Quentin came in my trailer and didn’t like to hear ‘No,’ like any director. He was furious because I’d cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said, ‘I promise you the car is fine. It’s a straight piece of road,’” she said. According to Thurman, he then directed her: to “‘Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won’t blow the right way, and I’ll make you do it again.’” Thurman regrets overlooking her trepidations and getting into the modified car. “But that was a death box I was in. The seat wasn’t screwed down properly. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road,” she says. Although hesitant to perform the stunt, she drove the car anyway and crashed into a palm tree. “The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me. I felt this searing pain and thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to walk again.’” When her lawyer asked to see the footage from the mounted car camera, Miramax said they would only show it if Thurman signed an agreement releasing them from any responsibility for future pain and suffering. These were not terms she would agree to, and would not see the footage for 15 years. Thurman and Tarantino’s relationship has been strained ever since. “When they turned on me after the accident, I went from being a creative contributor and performer to being like a broken tool,” she says. Thurman received the crash footage just after she met with police following the many women who came forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual abuse. In response to the article, Tarantino told Deadline, “I talked [Uma] into getting in the car, I assured her the road was safe. And it wasn’t.” However, he took issue with the way The New York Times article made it seem like Uma blamed him for the car accident. Indeed, Thurum has since defended Tarantino; she clarified that she holds three of the film’s producers, one of which is Weinstein, as the responsible parties
After the bride breaks through the coffin, she is met by a barrage of dirt, but like you said, it's loose dirt. She's likely not deeper than 6 ft under, and she's 5' 11", so she just has to dig to a standing position, and she's out.
It's not so loose like you think it is, the pressure of its own weight is enough to compress it. "just dig out" is also not as easy as you think because you have to move the material from above you to under you. it's not that you only have to stand up. And don't forget that all with the limited amount of oxygen in the coffin. Mythbusters tried it once, they managed to dig through 2ft, but 6ft not.
The problem is that you need to move the dirt down to under you. It's less difficult when the dirt is still loosely packed, but there's a reason 'buried alive' escapes are considered one of the most dangerous escapology stunts possible (and there have been dozens of deaths in attempting them, as well as plenty of cases of escapologists needing to be rescued from it).
@juubicortex8178 He literally counts Death Proof as one of his nine films, it's just his least favorite. Anyways, your claim is still wrong because he's not in Once Upon A Time.
Elle was the California Mountain Snake, which is the only non-venomous snake out of the Viper Squad's monickers. It's meant to be ironic that she only kills with venom and poison; also, she tried to kill Beatrix in her sleep with poison. It may not "count", and be kind of dull, but it's in character, consistent and purposeful.
Asking for a water and saying "please" after being buried alive, like when Pai Mei taught her to act human despite her hand being broken from those punches on the wood (reference to the rice scene when she dropped her chopsticks and ate "like a dog")
Finally some love for the credits! No other reactor ever puts any part of the best credit sequence ever in their reaction to this movie. I wish more of it was shown, but still it's great that it was put in at all.
A couple fun facts: In the third movie, Sophie was supposed to get Bill’s money and Elle was supposed to get Nikki trained. At least that’s one of the ideas Tarantino had in his head at one point. The rivalry between the bride and Elle went beyond the battlefield. The bride had Bill’s heart, and Elle was jealous because she was in love with him. In one of the drafts of the script, the bride and Elle were supposed to have a fight outside that was really elaborate, like a western quick draw showdown, except they would be fighting with swords. And at the end as Elle dies, she clings to the brides leg and they both realize that all this time they were fighting and instead final saw each other as “sisters“ rather than enemies. But that idea was scrapped, and he wanted them to fight in that small trailer like two cats in a bag.
ooh i didn't know htat! the only scrapped script idea i knew of was involving Gogo's sister who was supposed to have a shootout in a suburb driving an ice cream truck w/ B after she kills Gogo. it was supposed to star the other girl who was in Battle royale alongside Chiaki Kuriyama who played mitsuko. i'm sad these scenes weren't shot in the final movie
The "Created by Q and U" credit refers to Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman. Tarantino has stated that he first got the idea of a revenge story starring the Bride while filming Pulp Fiction, which featured Uma. He imagined Uma playing the character and they sort of developed the backstory together. The credit at the end of the film is superfluous, but it's a sentimental touch.
Ive seen this explained before, but there is a theory when Esteban says Bill was a fool for blondes, he was talking about beatrix, and elle always felt like she was replaced by Beatrix so there was always going to be animosity. Thats why elle wanted to kill her so bad and was so upset that she couldnt in the first movie. Respected her but still wanted her to suffer until her last breath.
Rock salt is literally salt that is left in bigger chunks than like table salt when they process it. In rural areas farmers often load shotgun shells with rock salt as a nonlethal deterrent for animals on their property. The salt will hurt when it hits and burn for hours but eventually it will dissolve.
It’s often used to de-Ice roads & is used in water softeners as well, although I think it’s being used less as more efficient softeners have come along.
I remember watching David Carradine (Bill) as a child in the drama series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues." I was so stoked to see him in this movie and instantly knew who he was in the first Kill Bill by his voice as it's so unique. I was surprised no one else recognized him 😅 He's on the same level as Xena and Hercules for me😂
Guys: notice how Elle's name is not crossed out in the end credit sequence? All there is by her name is a question mark. Even the filmmakers aren't sure if she's dead or alive! (Not that it matters; she didn't rate a "cool" death!)
I think it was all the accumulated stress from her anger, pain and sorrow she had that broke out when her tension level fell eventually. Then her joy over having BB back gave her a laughter of relief.
Yeah, I was a little confused that they didn’t recognize a margarita. Nowadays though, it seems that young people know frighteningly little. Pretty much any time I watch a reaction, I’m shocked at the things younger reactors aren’t aware of.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 it seems to not just be young reactors, but reactors period. There are some youtubers I watch react to things that just seem out of touch with reality, as if, young or old, they all actually lived under a rock all their life. One actually had a thick smear of pond scum and dirt on their face!
Alcohol isn't popular with young people these days. The day people don't recognize a cigarette is gonna be a glorious day! 😂 Of course people don't know things they aren't exposed to, and there's no since in chiding people for being curious and/or learning, no matter the age.
Rock salt is tiny chunks of salt about the size of a bb. It penetrates the outer skin & burns like hell, literally salt in a wound. Farmers used to use it to shoot watermelon & chicken thieves.
Tarantino is such a master of artful storytelling, and it's what makes these two movies come together so perfectly for me. Like how Part I opens in the credits with 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Nancy Sinatra, and the first thing B.B. says when she sees The Bride is 'Bang bang!' as she play-shoots her. Or how it was The Bride's right hand, Pai Mei's hand, that took Elle's other eye using his technique. And in the end, when you guys were wondering if she was crying out of sadness or happiness; it was a reflection of Budd's conversation with Elle: "So, now that you're not gonna have to face your enemy no more on the battlefield, which 'R' ya filled with; relief...or regret?" Then as she's crying and finally whispers "Thank you, thank you", you get your answer. These two movies together are such a masterpiece. Can't wait for you guys to watch more Tarantino stuff but Kill Bill is easily my favorite from him, because to me more than any of his other films it punches you in the face with amazing, unapologetic style and I love it lol.
Kill Bill was shot and intended for release as a single 4 hour movie, but the head of Miramax (who's name rhymes with Marley Brinestein) told Tarantino he either had to trim it down to 3 hours, or split it into two movies. He choose the latter. The full, single 4 hour film (named "The Whole Bloody Affair") has screened in a few theaters in America, namely Tarantino's own New Beverly Cinema in L.A.
Omg the collective look on all 4 guys’ faces when she snatched out Elle’s eye is priceless. Fun fact: she used the arm that Pei Mei said belonged to him now. 2nd fun act: the actor who played Pei Mei is the same one who played the general of O-Ren’s army.
Q&U refers to Quentin and Uma. The plot of these movies is loosely based on the classic manga "Lone Wolf and Cub", the movie BeBe wants to watch, "Shogun Assassin" is a live action Japanese adaptation of "Lone Wolf and Cub".
in Pulp Fiction during the dinner scene.. Uma's character telling about tv pilot about a group of assasins.. so Q&U create together this film as one of Tarantino Universe.
Rock salt is a very coarse salt that if used like this goes into the skin then dissolves slowly creating a lot of pain. The end of the bathroom scene was a nod to her death in Bladerunner.
Love this series of movies, Tarantino really outdid himself with both. I just loved how Beatrix was a single minded, highly trained version of the Terminator with a katana until she saw her daughter. Keep on going down the QT Rabbit Hole.
I thought I explained this earlier in KBVol1. While they were sitting around on the sets of Pulp Fiction Q &U would sit around and talk about how they loved the old 1970’s martial arts spaghetti westerns. One would say, hey! Wouldn’t it be fun if they did that. And the other would say, YEAH and I’d love to have seen them do this… We can make our own and we can call it “The Bride.” Through their conversations they wrote KBV1&2. It wasn’t based on a book. Q developed it and got it cleared for shooting. If you’ve ever watched the old ‘70s movies, there was always a master (Pei Mei) that sit around, cackle and swish his long beard and always had the big eyebrows. That’s what made this fun. Their “what if’s” coming to life.
And it was originally supposed to be one film, but it was far too long - the Cannes version of The Whole Bloody Affair is just over 3.5 hours. If it was a slower-paced film with more space between the action setpieces it might have been okay, but as it is, a 3.5 hour version would have been exhausting to watch.
And there was supposed to be a battle on the beach as the sun rose, but Uma lost control and crashed that convertible while driving on the unpaved road when she previously told QT she didn’t want to and felt uncomfortable driving the rocky terrain. They rewrote the final scene to this as she was still recovering from a concussion.
it was sad and joy, joy for all finelly finished and for having her dauther and sad for had killed the man she still loved, just like he still loved her.
Guys.....it seems u can't grasp the concept of Evil good. Yes Bill was wrong, but he loved her. Toxic love but love. He gave Beatrix and BeBe a night together without any guilt. He loved his daughter and it showed. That laugh at the end...she killed the man she loved and would have to explain that to her daughter. And y have more interaction.....nothing needed to be explained
I'm always a little sad Bud never got to see that Beatrix survived. Daryl Hannah who played "Elle" was huge in the 80's. She was known for very soft, feminine, kind of ditsy roles, she was also a fashion model. She dropped off the planet for like 20 years and then resurfaced in this role. Totally bad ass and unexpected. David Carradine who played "Bill" was known for his role on the tv series "Kung Fu" (a role that was initially to be given to Bruce Lee, but was passed to Carradine - Bruce Lee was pissed). David was a legend and it was only right that he would play Bill. When this movie first premiered Samuel Jackson was not listed in the rolling credits, but of course everyone knew it was him. I've also noticed that the remastering of this movie makes him appear wayyy more clearly than it originally did. Viewers were only able to recognize his voice. I never say a sequel is better than the first because there is no 2 without 1, but I've rewatched Vol 2 way more than I have Vol 1. #classic.
FUN FACT: this film was conceived as 1 film but as you can see, it would’ve made this film like 4 hours long. Additionally the Japanese version of “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” shows the “non-black & white” version of the entire sword fight scene at “The House of the Blue Leaves”
mythbusters actually did a kill bill episode that included crawling out of the grave as the dirt falls. It doesn't really matter of course because we all just suspended our disbelief for this amazing movie, but still a cool episode!
Well as long as she had enough air in the time it takes to dig through six feet of largely unpacked dirt, which would take at least ten minutes or twenty minutes by hand at best speed. Its just barely possible but very unlikely she could manage. Then there's the weight of the dirt to consider too. Pushing yourself up through that much dirt would be the most difficult part, especially with it collapsing around you. Even loose beach sand is hard to (if not impossible) to move it in you're buried up to your head in it.
Pai Mei is played by Martial Arts Legend Gordon Liu. He also played the leader of the Crazy 88's, General Johnny Mo (Bald Head and Kato Mask). Another Actor who played two roles was Michael Parks who played the Texas Ranger with all the sunglasses in his Patrol Car in Part 1 and the Pimp Estaban in Part 2. Rumors say that Part 3 was supposed to take place 20 years later with a Grown B.B. VS a Grown Nikki. Nikki was trainined by Elle (who survived a had a vision implant) and Sophie who got bionics parts to replace her missing limbs. I don't think an actual script was ever written for Part 3. (Quentin did write a sequel Script to Django Unchained and I have a copy of it.)
Black Mamba likely took Elle's car to get to where she left her car but what baffles my mind is why she didn't take that $1,000,000. Yes, it was in the suitcase so not visible but she was listening to Elle and Bud talking in the trailer and the money was mentioned. Enjoying your reaction.
I think a part 3 would be amazing. Vernita's daughter and Beatrix's daughter could go at it. There's even been a rumor that Zendaya could be Nikki and Maya Hawke would be BB which is perfect because that is Uma's real daughter.
The vol.1 is also my favorite. I always called it in the mid 00's as "bath blood" but now it's more like a huge pool of blood. Ennio Morricone made a crazy job with the music. About vol.2 it's like "let's finishing vol.1and let's killing Bill" with more chinese old-school of kung-fu, and how such training helped Beatrix to find her daughter and to kill Bill. I heard about a film centered on Nikki's revenge, 10 years after. Hopefully they didn't make it. For me that's enough, Bill was killed so why adding another vol? Much fun to watch this.
“Part two” is a lot less “different” when you watch back-to-back, or if you can find a bootleg of The Whole Bloody Affair that excises the Vol 2 “intro” that recaps what happens in pt 1
Indeed, it is Samuel L. Jackson. But it's a habit of Tarantino to give small roles to great actors. Steve Bushemi plays the waiter Buddy Holly in Pulp Fiction and we see Christopher Walken less than 3 minutes.

Inglourious Basterds is soooo good and Pulp Fiction, all his movies are amazing 😁😉🤍
Pulp Fiction. Actually you should do them all and in order. There are a TON of references of previous films in the latter ones. Can't watch Pulp Fiction without watching Reservoir Dogs....
You really shouldn't have seen Kill Bill without seeing Pulp Fiction first at least 😢
Add Django as well
Dont forget the hateful eight. That movie is amazing
if you want 1 he acted in there's a Vampire? series called From Dusk Till Dawn
Pai Mei got his vengeance on Elle, it was technically his arm that blinded her.
All these years and I never thought of that.
You just blew my mind.
I saw both movies the years they released and have researched them both at least twice (really love these movies).
But I never realized that detail about Pai Mei's "arm" getting the final blow til just now. Thx for that.
cold af
Mml@@jorgelmao4992
Took me a second but damn that was clean!!!!!
In the end, she literally broke Bill's heart. Poetic...
Holy shit. 😮
Bruh you just blew my mind.
Two decades and a couple rewatches and that detail never occurred to me lol. I thought I knew most of the lore... just shows there is always something new to learn.
Not just that. Their last fight is pretty symbolic: sword and sheathe coming together as they did as man and woman, then she breaks his heart. But the first time, Bill tracked her to the end of the earth. This time, he walks AWAY from her, and she's the one left to get on with life.
Michael Madsen (Bud) told a story in an interview that he wore that cowboy hat to the set everyday and Tarantino hated it. Told him everyday don't wear the hat and he didn't listen. So one day Tarantino goes "you know, now I can't imagine you without the hat, I want you to wear it in the movie" and then wrote the scene where Bud's boss trashes him and forces him to take the hat off
😂😂😂😂
Bud's boss and that whole scene was definitely one of the top highlights for the movie lol
I love these background stories
20 years on and I'm still not tired of Pai Mei.
*beard stroking intensifies
It's not really explained, but the reason Karen left from killing her, is because assassins have a code against killing children & pregnant women. It's the same reason Beatrix didn't kill that kid that was in the Crazy 88. Great & classic story.
Yeah I feel like this is shown more or less throughout the two movies. There are certain lines they won’t cross in their twisted morality
Except for those who don't care at all, like the squad that beat up and attempted to kill Beatrix in the first place
@@evrdraws1126well I think that just shows that out of the squad, Beatrix is the only one with honor.
Most people aren't with killing kids and pregnant women
@@Youngphillynorf Most people aren’t assassins.
I love when Bill says, Pai Mei taught you The Five Finger Death Punch? And she says, of course he did.
Pai Mei was a good judge of character. That’s why he didn’t teach it to any of his other students.
@TheRealdal come again? I do recall her being an assassin. She's just hypocritical. She can kill when she's upset, but bill can't? Double standards.
@@elusiveDEVIANT🧢🧢🚨🚨🚨The saying goes there’s a code among thieves. They were supposed to hurt other people not each other, they were a team.
@@elusiveDEVIANT They both did the same thing to each other, the only difference is, Beatrice was more emotional cause she did care for Bill more than she admitted, she was willing to keep her baby with him. What Beatrice said was telling, "I thought you could do those things, but to me?"
She showed more emotions than Bill but Bill showed just how much he cared and was upset with Beatrice in his own fucked up way. In the end, they both fucked each other over because of emotions, in the end, they both got their revenge they wanted even if it didnt seem. And they're literally assassins, you cant just gang up on one of the team mates and not face a revenge plot. That's why media and people who study or love media says, 'Make sure the person you want dead is actually dead! Double tap!" I don't care it's an explosion, we better see a body or some thing that says that person is alive or else revenge plotnis happening
@shayla106 and she left them. Hurt them. Hurt bill. She clearly was into bill, so I doubt it was a one sided relationship. In his eyes, she played him.
Is what he did okay? No. But her judging him for her doing the same things. I dislike that. I get honor among thieves. But she broke the code first.
“Only on the condition that I pay for everything.”
Well, Bill, in the end, you will.
eeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
fun fact - Actor Chia-Hui Liu who was Pai Mei here, was Johnny Mo ( head of O-Ren's Crazy 88's in the first film ) & Michael Parks who was Esteban here was the Sheriff, Earl in the first film

I was about to comment this but oh wise one you beat me to it👏🏻👏🏻
Great reaction as always. Both Kill Bill movies are masterpieces.
There's a deleted scene where a (slightly) younger Bill shows off his fighting style when he was traveling with Beatrix.
What people always gloss over about The Bride/Beatrix laughing/crying in the bathroom... That is a side effect of the truth serum wearing off (as Bill stated), a feeling of pure euphoria. It's that, mixed with the grief of losing who was once her true love, the joy of carrying out her revenge and getting her daughter back, and the relief that it's all finally over and she can move on with her life in peace.
People often think there should be a third movie where Nikki (Vernita's daughter from Vol. 1) tries to avenge her mother, but I disagree. The duology is perfect as is.
Well said. And I utterly agree... in terms of the big screen / TV, both films should be the end all be all for the story.
Which R is she feeling more?
I am glad that Igli and Cojo were both horrified by Bill letting BB watch Shogun Assassin before bed, because Bill's parenting is vital missing context in the story of the goldfish incident;
It plays into his analysis of Superman, and how he totally leaves out Superman's upbringing by his adoptive parents... notice that Bill said Shogun Assassin was "too LONG" for before bed, not "too VIOLENT"?? And Bill frames BB as the sole party in the goldfish incident, which WILL condition her to think her curiousity for violence is natural and innate to her, and not instilled from what Bill lets her watch before sleep
And that is why Bill is worse than every other Deadly Viper combined: because he truly is the Snake Charmer who can charm anyone into becoming a snake, as he was doing to his daughter, as was implied he did to Beatrix ("your side always was a bit lonely" and he is HOW much older than she?), and as was implied he did to O-Ren. Yes, O-Ren... if you can recall, the man with the katana who killed O-Ren's dad and kicked the cigar butt into the alcohol had Bill's rings! And if Budd can notice Beatrix hiding under his trailer, then Bill will certainly have known O-Ren was hiding under that bed... so he knowingly orphaned her, then she coincidentally becomes a Deadly Viper later in life? Hmmmm...
He does the same gaslighting to Beatrix as he did to BB, coercing her into admitting she enjoyed killing while telling her she simply is, always was and always will be, a "renegade killer bee"... but he is the one who shaped her for an unknown yet seemingly large portion of her life. Consider Beatrix herself says that Bill would have "claimed" BB, and that's why she ran, not to escape the assassin life but to escape Bill...
So we have one explicit example of Bill manipulating a vulnerable girl to shape her into an assassin, and two implicit examples of Bill manipulating vulnerable girls into assassins
Hattori Hanzo caved instantly when Beatrix said she needed a sword to hunt his former student, and Pai Mei taught Beatrix the exploding heart but not Bill -- his masters have far different regard for Bill, than the almost obsessive adoration Bill's students have for him, and when you look closely? It does become clear why
Totally worth the read, buddy! Thanks for the insights!
@@RealBradMiller thank you and you are welcome! Tarantino is known for his visuals and actions sequences and remixing older films, but he is also great with subtext which i think is easier to miss due the expectation of actions sequences; Death Proof is one his least popular films, and that was a film he went really hard into subtext while downplaying action ... it is also my fav! 😂
Wow I actually never thought abt the yakuza boss’s right hand guy was bill!! This was a great read. But question, why exactly do you think pai mei didn’t teach bill the 5 finger death technique?
@@dess234because he knew Bill was a psychopath and without honor. He didn’t have real respect for Bill, but he grew to have real respect for Beatrix.
@dess234 I am not certain, but consider that Bill will trashtalk Pai Mei to others, something Beatrix had never done even once (even if true) and something Elle did to his face (which he promptly punished)...
of Pai Mei's three shown students, Elle has zero respect for him, Bill respects his power but seems to have antipathy to him as an individual, and Beatrix has total and absolute respect for Pai Mei with all of his faults included -- so because Beatrix came to genuinely appreciate and seems to even like ALL of Pai Mei's person, she was allowed to learn ALL of Pai Mei's techniques
Pai Mei is a lonely old man after all, and an unpleasant one at that, so the fact Beatrix appears to have accepted him one person to another, I think that is why he accepted her as someone to be raised to his (lonely) level. Bill respected Pai Mei's power, but behind his back will emphasise how unpleasant he is... so Pai Mei shared his power, but kept his unique-to-him ability behind his back as well. he just paid back Bill in kind, because Bill was only after power, which he could have found elsewhere but acknowledged in Pai Mei, but Bill wasn't there for Pai Mei himself, so the one thing only Pai Mei could teach, he withheld
Beatrix is probably the closest thing to a friend Pai Mei had, an equal... and he acknowledged this by sharing the one thing that ONLY he could teach
It's not originally a book. The bride is a character that Uma and Quentin created. Kill Bill (both parts) is my favorite movie ever. I just had to renew my patreon to yall to watch the second part early.
Well, its inspired by lady snowblood
It's my favorite QT movie. I don't think it's his best but it's the most fun and so well done.
I believe Uma brought up the idea of the Bride to Quentin on the set of Pulp Fiction many years earlier...and BB = Bill + Beatrix
@@davidforestieri4784her and John Travolta’s character spoke of the plot in the film during the dinner scene.
@@aftertaste05 yup....Fox Force Five....then her list in KB was Death List Five
Guys, Tarantino filmed both films together…there were no breaks between both films, because they’re both one long film split into two parts.
Back in the day, there was a show called Kung Fu, starring David Carradine, ' Bill '. He was a Shaolin monk who traveled around America kicking bad guy butts and playing a flute just like Bill.Very zen and a great reference to one of my favorite shows.
That shows premise was created by Bruce Lee
Like a Western, but also like an Eastern.
I had a Kung Fu lunchbox when I was around 7-8 years old. I loved that thing. I thought the casting of David Carradine as Bill was perfect. Quentin is chock full of GenX nostalgia.
the eye-plucking of elle driver is the most satisfying scene in the whole series. haha
Love the way Bill's fundamental misunderstanding of Superman tells us so much about Bill himself.
"You may not last 5 minutes", Oren lasted 4.59,Damn you Quentin it was Lucy!!!
Blake’s face when she stepped on Elle’s eyeball was me the first time 😂
Blake literally the best….
Beatrix did not have a blood feud with Elle.
It was Elle who had the blood feud with Beatrix because of her connection to Bill through their daughter. Remember that Elle was one of the people who went to her wedding rehearsal to kill everyone. So that was reason enough, but on top of that, Elle also killed her sensei.
The casual perfection of Pai Mei returning the sword to its place in the rack really says it all.
The rock salt shotgun shells are an invention that was not really meant to kill, but to maim and to cause a great deal of burning and stinging agony. It is literally putting salt into the wound.
When it said based on characters created by Q&U, they meant Quentin (Tarantino) and Uma (Thurman). They came up with the idea while shooting Pulp Fiction.
4 guys and none of you know that Budd is making Margaritas? A Margarita is de~licious!
Unfortunately we can't get the youths to drink these days. It's a good problem to have! 😂 Though I'm probably only a couple years older than them, I can't tell these days! Guys could all be fourteen, or thirty. 😅

Uma Thurman and the Driving Scene:
UMA THURMAN ON HER ‘KILL BILL’ CAR CRASH
Twenty years ago, Uma Thurman was in a serious car crash while on location in Mexico filming the final days of Kill Bill.
Thurman suffered permanent injuries to her neck and knees as well as a concussion. It significantly impacted her life emotionally as she has felt betrayed by director Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein-both of whom she says basically abandoned her after the crash occurred.
Thurman told The New York Times about her past experiences with both Weinstein and Tarantino. She details how Weinstein sexually assaulted her years ago in the “This Is Why Uma Thurman Is Angry” interview, concluding that of all the things she experienced, it was the way they handled the accident that hurt her the most.
The first time he met Thurman, Tarantino was certain she would be the lead actress in his black comedy Pulp Fiction. The Red, White & Royal Blue star went on to play the iconic Mia Wallace in the movie, hailed as one of the greatest films ever made.
The role launched Thurman as a Hollywood A-lister, and her performance was honored with an Oscar nomination. Known as Tarantino’s muse, Thurman not only lent her star power to Q’s movies, but she was also a creative contributor.
The duo’s next project was the martial arts film Kill Bill, and Weinstein was co-chairman of Miramax for Kill Bill just as he was for Pulp Fiction. The combined production for both Kill Bill: Volume I and II lasted 155 days.
It was during the final days of filming that Tarantino asked Thurman to drive a blue convertible Karmann Ghia for the famous scene in which the Bride drives to kill Bill. However, Thurman had been informed by someone in the production that the car had been reconfigured from a stick shift to an automatic and might not work properly.
For this reason, Thurman says she let Tarantino know she wanted to pass on driving the car and instead have a stunt person do the driving.
“Quentin came in my trailer and didn’t like to hear ‘No,’ like any director. He was furious because I’d cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said, ‘I promise you the car is fine. It’s a straight piece of road,’” she said. According to Thurman, he then directed her: to “‘Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won’t blow the right way, and I’ll make you do it again.’”
Thurman regrets overlooking her trepidations and getting into the modified car. “But that was a death box I was in. The seat wasn’t screwed down properly. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road,” she says.
Although hesitant to perform the stunt, she drove the car anyway and crashed into a palm tree.
“The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me. I felt this searing pain and thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to walk again.’”
When her lawyer asked to see the footage from the mounted car camera, Miramax said they would only show it if Thurman signed an agreement releasing them from any responsibility for future pain and suffering.
These were not terms she would agree to, and would not see the footage for 15 years.
Thurman and Tarantino’s relationship has been strained ever since. “When they turned on me after the accident, I went from being a creative contributor and performer to being like a broken tool,” she says.
Thurman received the crash footage just after she met with police following the many women who came forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual abuse.
In response to the article, Tarantino told Deadline, “I talked [Uma] into getting in the car, I assured her the road was safe. And it wasn’t.” However, he took issue with the way The New York Times article made it seem like Uma blamed him for the car accident. Indeed, Thurum has since defended Tarantino; she clarified that she holds three of the film’s producers, one of which is Weinstein, as the responsible parties
Thanks for that!
@@RealBradMiller Of course.
Guess 5his is why we will never get more kill bills
After the bride breaks through the coffin, she is met by a barrage of dirt, but like you said, it's loose dirt. She's likely not deeper than 6 ft under, and she's 5' 11", so she just has to dig to a standing position, and she's out.
It's not so loose like you think it is, the pressure of its own weight is enough to compress it. "just dig out" is also not as easy as you think because you have to move the material from above you to under you. it's not that you only have to stand up. And don't forget that all with the limited amount of oxygen in the coffin.
Mythbusters tried it once, they managed to dig through 2ft, but 6ft not.
The problem is that you need to move the dirt down to under you. It's less difficult when the dirt is still loosely packed, but there's a reason 'buried alive' escapes are considered one of the most dangerous escapology stunts possible (and there have been dozens of deaths in attempting them, as well as plenty of cases of escapologists needing to be rescued from it).
it's a movie, you don't have to explain it. a guy stands on a sword
Without breathing, and trying to get out of a coffin and a huge hole.
Samuel L jackson has been in every tarantino movie since pulp fiction even his voice is used in inglorious basterds to narrate a scene
Loved to hate him in Django. Wanted to strangle that character!
No, he does not appear in Death Proof or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
@@PorterJustPorter Death proof dont count he doesnt even count that in his list of films
@juubicortex8178 He literally counts Death Proof as one of his nine films, it's just his least favorite. Anyways, your claim is still wrong because he's not in Once Upon A Time.
Elle was the California Mountain Snake, which is the only non-venomous snake out of the Viper Squad's monickers. It's meant to be ironic that she only kills with venom and poison; also, she tried to kill Beatrix in her sleep with poison. It may not "count", and be kind of dull, but it's in character, consistent and purposeful.
Q & U stands for Quentin and Uma. This is not based on a book.
41:13 the look of shock in unison from all of you, was pure amazement. 🤣
Asking for a water and saying "please" after being buried alive, like when Pai Mei taught her to act human despite her hand being broken from those punches on the wood (reference to the rice scene when she dropped her chopsticks and ate "like a dog")
Fun fact, Pai Mei literally means White Eyebrow
Finally some love for the credits! No other reactor ever puts any part of the best credit sequence ever in their reaction to this movie. I wish more of it was shown, but still it's great that it was put in at all.
The coffin scene in theatres was INTENSE
The knife was in the butt of the shotgun, not her arm or hand. You see her block the knife with it. It’s a blink and you’ll miss it cut.
Bill and Beatrix loved each other to the very end, but they both see it as they both betrayed each other.
A couple fun facts: In the third movie, Sophie was supposed to get Bill’s money and Elle was supposed to get Nikki trained. At least that’s one of the ideas Tarantino had in his head at one point.
The rivalry between the bride and Elle went beyond the battlefield. The bride had Bill’s heart, and Elle was jealous because she was in love with him.
In one of the drafts of the script, the bride and Elle were supposed to have a fight outside that was really elaborate, like a western quick draw showdown, except they would be fighting with swords. And at the end as Elle dies, she clings to the brides leg and they both realize that all this time they were fighting and instead final saw each other as “sisters“ rather than enemies. But that idea was scrapped, and he wanted them to fight in that small trailer like two cats in a bag.
ooh i didn't know htat! the only scrapped script idea i knew of was involving Gogo's sister who was supposed to have a shootout in a suburb driving an ice cream truck w/ B after she kills Gogo. it was supposed to star the other girl who was in Battle royale alongside Chiaki Kuriyama who played mitsuko. i'm sad these scenes weren't shot in the final movie
...fight like two cats in a bag.
That is a VERY accurate description of that trailer fight. All time great scene
The "Created by Q and U" credit refers to Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman. Tarantino has stated that he first got the idea of a revenge story starring the Bride while filming Pulp Fiction, which featured Uma. He imagined Uma playing the character and they sort of developed the backstory together. The credit at the end of the film is superfluous, but it's a sentimental touch.
Ive seen this explained before, but there is a theory when Esteban says Bill was a fool for blondes, he was talking about beatrix, and elle always felt like she was replaced by Beatrix so there was always going to be animosity. Thats why elle wanted to kill her so bad and was so upset that she couldnt in the first movie. Respected her but still wanted her to suffer until her last breath.
isn't it totally clear from watching the movie?
Rock salt is literally salt that is left in bigger chunks than like table salt when they process it. In rural areas farmers often load shotgun shells with rock salt as a nonlethal deterrent for animals on their property. The salt will hurt when it hits and burn for hours but eventually it will dissolve.
Not much penetrating power, but that’s very unlikely to be anywhere near the first thought of anyone who gets a well placed dose.
It’s often used to de-Ice roads & is used in water softeners as well, although I think it’s being used less as more efficient softeners have come along.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192Oh, lol, I was picturing people shooting rock salt at their water softeners and at the roads. 😂😂😂
We use it in salt grinders, like peppercorns. Most people do where I live
Fun fact: Pai Mei is played by Gordon Liu who also played Johnny Mo (the bald guy during the O-ren fight) in Kill Bill Vol. 1
I remember watching David Carradine (Bill) as a child in the drama series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues." I was so stoked to see him in this movie and instantly knew who he was in the first Kill Bill by his voice as it's so unique. I was surprised no one else recognized him 😅 He's on the same level as Xena and Hercules for me😂
Guys: notice how Elle's name is not crossed out in the end credit sequence? All there is by her name is a question mark. Even the filmmakers aren't sure if she's dead or alive! (Not that it matters; she didn't rate a "cool" death!)
On the bathroom floor, she is experiencing the euphoria Bill mentioned was a side effect of the truth serum.
Never noticed that before, I always just assumed it was just a release coz she'd finished the job.
I think it was all the accumulated stress from her anger, pain and sorrow she had that broke out when her tension level fell eventually. Then her joy over having BB back gave her a laughter of relief.
@@GS-Gordon-Shumway then why even mention the side effect?
You're not an adult if you don't know what a margarita is...
Also, dudes never get her crying at the end 🙄
Yeah, I was a little confused that they didn’t recognize a margarita. Nowadays though, it seems that young people know frighteningly little. Pretty much any time I watch a reaction, I’m shocked at the things younger reactors aren’t aware of.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 it seems to not just be young reactors, but reactors period. There are some youtubers I watch react to things that just seem out of touch with reality, as if, young or old, they all actually lived under a rock all their life. One actually had a thick smear of pond scum and dirt on their face!
Alcohol isn't popular with young people these days. The day people don't recognize a cigarette is gonna be a glorious day! 😂
Of course people don't know things they aren't exposed to, and there's no since in chiding people for being curious and/or learning, no matter the age.
@@RealBradMiller I've never used a butter churn. I know what a butter churn looks like. There's no sense in being ignorant about the past, either.
@@Tylerdavaseloh no someone don’t know how some alcohol looks like! Indeed what an ignorant people
I would chain me on a couch, snacks..., Netflix and a good Diapers and never go the 5 steps😂
Rock salt is what it sounds like, salt rocks. Salt not ground up. Quite painful.
It hurts like shit when you get hit with it. Not fatal (unless you fire it point blank) but just as bad as being hit with paintballs at high speed.
Rock salt is tiny chunks of salt about the size of a bb. It penetrates the outer skin & burns like hell, literally salt in a wound. Farmers used to use it to shoot watermelon & chicken thieves.
44:18 this scene and that ending fadeaway is almost Lynch-esque
Fun fact: The Bride character that Tarantino and Thurman created was foreshadowed in Pulp Fiction, when Butch grabs the katana.
Tarantino is such a master of artful storytelling, and it's what makes these two movies come together so perfectly for me. Like how Part I opens in the credits with 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Nancy Sinatra, and the first thing B.B. says when she sees The Bride is 'Bang bang!' as she play-shoots her. Or how it was The Bride's right hand, Pai Mei's hand, that took Elle's other eye using his technique. And in the end, when you guys were wondering if she was crying out of sadness or happiness; it was a reflection of Budd's conversation with Elle: "So, now that you're not gonna have to face your enemy no more on the battlefield, which 'R' ya filled with; relief...or regret?" Then as she's crying and finally whispers "Thank you, thank you", you get your answer. These two movies together are such a masterpiece. Can't wait for you guys to watch more Tarantino stuff but Kill Bill is easily my favorite from him, because to me more than any of his other films it punches you in the face with amazing, unapologetic style and I love it lol.
Kill Bill was shot and intended for release as a single 4 hour movie, but the head of Miramax (who's name rhymes with Marley Brinestein) told Tarantino he either had to trim it down to 3 hours, or split it into two movies. He choose the latter. The full, single 4 hour film (named "The Whole Bloody Affair") has screened in a few theaters in America, namely Tarantino's own New Beverly Cinema in L.A.
Omg the collective look on all 4 guys’ faces when she snatched out Elle’s eye is priceless. Fun fact: she used the arm that Pei Mei said belonged to him now. 2nd fun act: the actor who played Pei Mei is the same one who played the general of O-Ren’s army.
Ms. Driver: To lose an eye is unfortunate; to THEN lose the other is flat out CARELESSNESS!
Pai Mei to Beatrix “your arm belongs to me now. I want it strong” and then b does that to Elle! Justice 👏🏻
You guys made me laugh so much this reaction, Igli and Corey 😂
18:24 when your Tank pushes in alone and there's 20% left
“Created by Q & U” stands for Quentin and Uma. They both collaborated in the development of the story and characters.
The Five Point Palm Nipple Twisting of death technique.
The fight scenes in these movies are so damn fierce, esp. Vernita an Elle. Relentless
I was laughing uncontrollably at y’all’s reaction to her other eye getting plucked out 🤣🤣
50:21 I think Bill is explaining so that later BB doesn’t get mad when she realizes her mom ended her dad
As a mother myself the look she gave Bill while hugging her babygirl was a death stare
Q&U refers to Quentin and Uma. The plot of these movies is loosely based on the classic manga "Lone Wolf and Cub", the movie BeBe wants to watch, "Shogun Assassin" is a live action Japanese adaptation of "Lone Wolf and Cub".
The rumor is that part 3 is about a blind Elle finding Nicki and training her to avenge her mother by killing Beatrix and/or Bebe.
I absolutely love y’all reactions🤣 I’m definitely going to subscribe!
😂 pai mei, a god among men
blake: mmmm but the eyebrowssss and self-esteem issuesssss 💅
You guys calling out all the feet makes this soo much better lmfao
Btw pai Mei has the same actor as the bald guy from the crazy 88 in the last movie ( the only one who was actually landing hits on uma )
in Pulp Fiction during the dinner scene.. Uma's character telling about tv pilot about a group of assasins.. so Q&U create together this film as one of Tarantino Universe.
Rock salt is a very coarse salt that if used like this goes into the skin then dissolves slowly creating a lot of pain.
The end of the bathroom scene was a nod to her death in Bladerunner.
Uma Thurman isn't in Bladerunner
@shawntlucas90 no but Daryl Hannah is.
@@FollowingGhost Ah that's right. I thought u were talking about the bathroom scene at the end of the movie
Love this series of movies, Tarantino really outdid himself with both. I just loved how Beatrix was a single minded, highly trained version of the Terminator with a katana until she saw her daughter. Keep on going down the QT Rabbit Hole.
I thought I explained this earlier in KBVol1.
While they were sitting around on the sets of Pulp Fiction Q &U would sit around and talk about how they loved the old 1970’s martial arts spaghetti westerns. One would say, hey! Wouldn’t it be fun if they did that. And the other would say, YEAH and I’d love to have seen them do this…
We can make our own and we can call it “The Bride.”
Through their conversations they wrote KBV1&2. It wasn’t based on a book. Q developed it and got it cleared for shooting.
If you’ve ever watched the old ‘70s movies, there was always a master (Pei Mei) that sit around, cackle and swish his long beard and always had the big eyebrows. That’s what made this fun. Their “what if’s” coming to life.
And it was originally supposed to be one film, but it was far too long - the Cannes version of The Whole Bloody Affair is just over 3.5 hours. If it was a slower-paced film with more space between the action setpieces it might have been okay, but as it is, a 3.5 hour version would have been exhausting to watch.
And there was supposed to be a battle on the beach as the sun rose, but Uma lost control and crashed that convertible while driving on the unpaved road when she previously told QT she didn’t want to and felt uncomfortable driving the rocky terrain. They rewrote the final scene to this as she was still recovering from a concussion.
oh dang I knew of her car crash but I didn't know it ended up affecting the finale.
That's why they sit during the fight. But honestly this scene is perfect this way. Just sad to knwo the reason.
@@micbln8967I thought the sitting fight happening suddenly was very anticlimactic and lame.
it was sad and joy, joy for all finelly finished and for having her dauther and sad for had killed the man she still loved, just like he still loved her.
Guys.....it seems u can't grasp the concept of Evil good. Yes Bill was wrong, but he loved her. Toxic love but love. He gave Beatrix and BeBe a night together without any guilt. He loved his daughter and it showed. That laugh at the end...she killed the man she loved and would have to explain that to her daughter. And y have more interaction.....nothing needed to be explained
I'm always a little sad Bud never got to see that Beatrix survived. Daryl Hannah who played "Elle" was huge in the 80's. She was known for very soft, feminine, kind of ditsy roles, she was also a fashion model. She dropped off the planet for like 20 years and then resurfaced in this role. Totally bad ass and unexpected. David Carradine who played "Bill" was known for his role on the tv series "Kung Fu" (a role that was initially to be given to Bruce Lee, but was passed to Carradine - Bruce Lee was pissed). David was a legend and it was only right that he would play Bill. When this movie first premiered Samuel Jackson was not listed in the rolling credits, but of course everyone knew it was him. I've also noticed that the remastering of this movie makes him appear wayyy more clearly than it originally did. Viewers were only able to recognize his voice. I never say a sequel is better than the first because there is no 2 without 1, but I've rewatched Vol 2 way more than I have Vol 1. #classic.
It is not a sequel, it is one movie, just splitted because of length
>She was known for very soft, feminine, kind of ditsy roles
>Chelsea in the movie Legal Eagles: well, hold my beer
FUN FACT: this film was conceived as 1 film but as you can see, it would’ve made this film like 4 hours long. Additionally the Japanese version of “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” shows the “non-black & white” version of the entire sword fight scene at “The House of the Blue Leaves”
The five finger death punch. Was used in the fight with the crazy 88 look for it.
I basically think of it as one movie now. I pretty much always watch The Whole Bloody Affair version every time.
mythbusters actually did a kill bill episode that included crawling out of the grave as the dirt falls. It doesn't really matter of course because we all just suspended our disbelief for this amazing movie, but still a cool episode!
Well as long as she had enough air in the time it takes to dig through six feet of largely unpacked dirt, which would take at least ten minutes or twenty minutes by hand at best speed. Its just barely possible but very unlikely she could manage. Then there's the weight of the dirt to consider too. Pushing yourself up through that much dirt would be the most difficult part, especially with it collapsing around you. Even loose beach sand is hard to (if not impossible) to move it in you're buried up to your head in it.
Pai Mei is played by Martial Arts Legend Gordon Liu. He also played the leader of the Crazy 88's, General Johnny Mo (Bald Head and Kato Mask). Another Actor who played two roles was Michael Parks who played the Texas Ranger with all the sunglasses in his Patrol Car in Part 1 and the Pimp Estaban in Part 2. Rumors say that Part 3 was supposed to take place 20 years later with a Grown B.B. VS a Grown Nikki. Nikki was trainined by Elle (who survived a had a vision implant) and Sophie who got bionics parts to replace her missing limbs. I don't think an actual script was ever written for Part 3. (Quentin did write a sequel Script to Django Unchained and I have a copy of it.)
I like the part where the guy in white did not watch for a minute when he saw the black mamba in the suitcase 😂
Please consider 'The hateful eight' for the next tarantino movie. that's underrated one and pretty sure you guys gonna like it.
thanks
Black Mamba likely took Elle's car to get to where she left her car but what baffles my mind is why she didn't take that $1,000,000. Yes, it was in the suitcase so not visible but she was listening to Elle and Bud talking in the trailer and the money was mentioned. Enjoying your reaction.
Lol ya'll just witness the infamous "Master Killer" Gordon Liu
That was a baby Mamba. Here in Southern Africa they grow up to 5 meters/16 feet.
I think a part 3 would be amazing. Vernita's daughter and Beatrix's daughter could go at it. There's even been a rumor that Zendaya could be Nikki and Maya Hawke would be BB which is perfect because that is Uma's real daughter.
The vol.1 is also my favorite. I always called it in the mid 00's as "bath blood" but now it's more like a huge pool of blood. Ennio Morricone made a crazy job with the music. About vol.2 it's like "let's finishing vol.1and let's killing Bill" with more chinese old-school of kung-fu, and how such training helped Beatrix to find her daughter and to kill Bill. I heard about a film centered on Nikki's revenge, 10 years after. Hopefully they didn't make it. For me that's enough, Bill was killed so why adding another vol? Much fun to watch this.
At the end the laugh crying was due to Euphoria the side effect of the drug accompanied with surely relief lol
Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman came up with the character of The Bride when they were filming Pulp Fiction.
Q & U is Quentin and Uma.
“Part two” is a lot less “different” when you watch back-to-back, or if you can find a bootleg of The Whole Bloody Affair that excises the Vol 2 “intro” that recaps what happens in pt 1
did you notice the chapter with the duel in the caravan was called "elle and i" or eye
It’s a black mamba, Beatrix Kiddo’s call sign
Uma Thurman was seriously injured on the set of Kill Bill, permanently damaging her neck and knees as a result of the car crash.
Thank you guys simply the best movies ever
Remember Bill didn't know it was HIS baby till he shot her in thr head
idk why so many people miss the fact that bill and kiddo’s love was MUTUAL. her sobbing on the floor is because she just killed the man she loved.
Indeed, it is Samuel L. Jackson. But it's a habit of Tarantino to give small roles to great actors. Steve Bushemi plays the waiter Buddy Holly in Pulp Fiction and we see Christopher Walken less than 3 minutes.
Q and U means Quentin and Uma, for they planned this project together after Pulp Fiction was completed, so there!s no book.
I love this movie/movies. I saw both in theater and they were both amazeballs. Uma is such a badass.
