Hello! Seems everyone is asking why I didn't just turn on the subtitles. I would rather watch the film without subtitles because it is less distracting if the film is in English and it doesn't make sense to have someone keep turning them on and off when a movie switches languages. The movie should have had subtitles for the Japanese segments built into the film but it did not and so I assumed that was just how it was supposed to be viewed as again, why do I need to turn on subtitles for a whole movie just to understand a small portion of it? Seems like this has been a problem on a few Netflix movies I have seen such as District 9 and now Kill Bill (both volumes). I hope that makes sense as to why I didn't have them on/turn them on!
Well, of course, the original release (and home video releases) _did_ have the hardsubs. So yeah, this is definitely a Netflix problem. Or maybe online video in general. I get why they do it: they can provide subtitles for multiple languages with just one video stream. Ideally, they should have a subtitle track with just subtitles for the foreign-language bits. But at the very least, they really need to do something so people are aware of the problem, like a notice that displays at the start: "Subtitles may be needed to understand parts of this film". Or something.
As for you, maybe your fans could warn you of things like this ahead of time.
First a note: Quentin works in two established universes for his movies. One is called the *Realer Than Real* universe, it's associated with dark and gritty crime movies often with bloody shootouts and liberal use of "foul language" but things have real consequences and people die, generally, to normal physics. You've already seen this universe in _Reservoir Dogs_ and _Pulp Fiction._ The other is called the *Movie Movies* universe and represents the movies that would be watched by the people in the *Realer Than Real* universe. Its physical rules are loose, and his already bloody scenes are amplified by an order of magnitude, this is what you've just experienced. If you look back to _Pulp Fiction_ and listen to Mia Wallace describe _Fox Force Five_ you'll see a lot of similarity to this movie, maybe The Bride was actually played by Mia Wallace in the *Realer Than Real* universe.
There might be more than one subtitle option in Netflix. When I was a member there would be multiple options for English, one would put them up for every part of the movie for hearing impaired and the other would put them up when non-English was spoken in the movie. But when you just have them on off none are displayed. Hard coded subtitles in movies went out a long time ago with digital distribution being standard, since DVD's came out basically.
I just checked. Netflix only has an all or nothing option for subtitles. Which is just more proof that Netflix is the enemy of the serious movie fan. I ran into just the opposite problem when they carried The Third Man. In the movie, multiple languages are spoken but the protagonist only speaks English. None of the foreign dialogue was subtitled. But for some reason, Netflix decided to add subtitles that couldn’t be turned off.
@@BEBruns Wow, further proof that dropping Netflix was the right decision.
Well, I hope when you re-watch them you leave them on. I think you'll see what you missed, and may regret it. But I enjoyed & liked your reaction.
Without the subtitles you're going to miss a lot!😢
You will need subtitles for part 2
You need them for Part One
@@keshaponso2034 Yeah, there's way more subtitles needed in Vol 1. Almost half the movie is in Japanese.
Though that being said, I am impressed by how much he picked up from music cues, tone and body language.
Um no...part 2 literally has no japanese. The first one is the one one needed subs, so it's too late.
@arcanevi4477 really..... then how will you know what Pai Mei is saying?
the opening siren music is the theme to Ironside
Not disclosing the Bride's name was an homage to Clint Eastwood's character of "the mysterious stranger with no name" in Sergio Leone's Dollar Trilogy spaghetti westerns.
I have met Uma twice (she lives in my area). She is proud of this movie (1&2 were supposed to be 1 movie). She said that she did all the stunts they would let her do and she was bruised and battered during the entire shoot. The stunts they wouldn't let her do were done by Zoe Bell (Lucy Lawless's stunt double in Xena: Warrior Princess).
Did you get the joke that Bill said about Elle? "You saw it with your own beautiful blue eye."
You should have turned on the subtitles to get everything that was said in Japanese. Hatori Hanzo said that the sword that he made for the Bride is so sharp that it can cut God.
People aren't exaggerating about the subtitles. Also, why don't they let you watch it as it was originally shown in the cinema (subtitles only for non-English scenes). I'm not a big fan of subtitles over English, so appreciate not wanting to have them on thru the whole movie. But unfortunately, you're going to miss half the movie without them.
Oh man I remember seeing this in a very packed theater back in the day; everyone was completely silent,so into it.
When Buck said his famous line,everyone went boooooo
Buck had only one scene and he is probably the most memorable character in the movie because he's so realistic unlike other characters
This film is so iconic... glad you're reacting to it!!!
That whistle song is actually a song from another film. Twisted Nerve I think
The music was produced and orchestrated by RZA from the Wu Tang Clan.
The Soundtrack was put together by "The Rza" who is a Hip Hop producer and founding member of Quentin Tarantino's favourite rap group "WUTANG CLAN". As with this movie, Wutang Clan's music is heavily influenced by Martial Arts movies from the 60's and 70's. Rza sampled a lot of dialogue and sounds from those movies on most of Wutang Clan's albums and he also put together sounds for this movie as well as the music such as the sound of the swords when they're swung through the air and in fact- the name "Wutang" is the sound a sword makes ...."Wu" is the sound it makes when swung through the air and "tang" is the sound it makes when clashing onto another sword or shield
The Music that plays during the O-Ren-Flashback actually *is* from an Old School Western: _The Grand Duel_ from 1972, composed by Luis Bacalov.
Generally, Tarantino usually tracks his films with pre-existing music, often from Western-Scores by Ennio Morricone... until he actually hired Morricone himself to do the Score for _The Hateful Eight._
Who reused some of his leftover stuff from _The Thing._ I like how well it fit in too.
You missed the Klingon Proverb that was mentioned by name at the beginning.
No, he didn't. He saw it and then tried to joke about microwaving revenge, but screwed it up.
@@AWSVids No he didn't realize nor see the "Klingon Proverb " part. He just thought it was some saying.
No he saw it. What are you on? You need it acknowledged? Wierdedst thing to comment on.
Yes, I thought he saw the quote, but missed the part saying it was an "Old Klingon proverb" because he was looking at the camera. Being the Star Trek fan that he is, if he'd seen it I doubt he'd let it go without comment. (He comments on the Star Trek reference later.)
There is coloured version for the crazy 88 fight. it is very hard to get but it shouldn't matter unless you are a completionist or absolute movie enthusiast.
but still it doesn't matter that much, black and white is still cool and you still see every scene except Sofie losing her 2nd arm before being kicked downhill into the hospital.
And people saying black and white is paying homage to the classic kung fu movies. its not. they did black and white to lower the rating by one level.
the coloured version is called Kill Bill - The Whole Bloody Affair, and its not cut 2 two movies, just 1 whole movie, and you can only get it via unconventional means. its released in Japan uncensored and also can be found in Japanese DVD.
it was also not supposed to be 2 parts. its just too long for cinema length, so Quentin is forced to cut it.
why didn't you turn the subtitles on when you noticed people were speaking foreign languages?
Somebody forgot to turn on subtitles.
Ow he didn’t? So don’t even goin to loose my time watching this reaction. Thx
yes, it's crazy annoying.
In an interview Quinton Tarantino said one of his biggest influences was movies directed by Italian Director Sergio Leone. Specifically his style and camera work he used in his famous Spaghetti Westerns.
05:35 Of course it was - just as the whole movie on some level; if you remember, Mia talked about a pilot she played in to Vincent about a female action squad, actually that was the foundation for the concept of Deadly Vipers
The trademark symbol on Bill's sword indicates the manufacturer of the sword. (More to come on that, farther into the story) I don't THINK it's a dragon, though. Am willing to be corrected by anyone having inside info.
You're the first reactor who's picked up on O-Ren being disposed of before the Vernita/"bleep" showdown happened.
Your DVD should be able to provide subtitles for the French & Japanese speeches. Subtitles were provided for theater viewers.
You can see Sophie and Bill's silhouettes in the anime flashback when the bride was being worked over.
There IS a color version of the Tokyo nightclub sword fight.
So . . .all things considered, that snow should have been redder from all the blood.
You'll know "bleep"s name by the end of Volume 2!
23:08 - Actually, it was this movie and that very music cue that started it all. Yeah, *this is where that comes from.
02:00 you missed... the star trek. "Revenge is a dish best served cold. -- Old Klingon Proverb." - yeah, that's from Star Trek 2 - Khan talking to Kirk. Yes, that is a direct and transparent nod to Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan. Tarrantino is a Trekkie.
Somewhat like Shakespeare in the original Klingon, it comes from a 19th-century French novel by Sue, but is sometimes attributed to de Laclos' 18th-century _Les Liaisons Dangereuse_ although the exact phrase isn't used there. Since Khan also quotes extensively from _Moby Dick_ he may very well know that.
This is the second comment saying he missed it. He didn't miss it. He saw it and then joked about liking to microwave revenge, but fumbled it.
Kill Bill is a chance to check out your new found film knowledge: different scenes or chapters will often be an homage/in the style of a director or genre. John Ford and Brian De Palma for starts. The "meme" cue you heard is from "Ironside" TV program.
Loved your reaction. Seemed to match my original viewing vibe with the grooving to the music. I had no idea what it was about when I went to cinema to see it. But at the time I was living with martial artists, doing martial arts, and loved my martial art movies as a kid.
Her outfit comes from a Bruce Lee movie called "Game of death"
The funniest line: "So O-ren, any more subordinates for me to kill?"
Thanks for another awesome reaction, I love this movie and always thought it was a good style and brought back memories of old Japanese movies with the western style. A lot of western films were based on old Japanese films even Star Wars was based on The Hidden Fortress, characters Tahei and Matashichi are the original C3P0 and R2D2, with many of the other characters too (worth a watch even if probably not suitable for a reaction). This particular movie is heavily based in story and style of a 1970s movie called Lady Snowblood, especially final fight scene, and he used the main actress songs from this movie as a nice acknowledgement to Meiko Kaji's inspiration, oh and apparently she had nice feet too naughty Quentin.
This movie is fuckin peak cinematic my guy! 🤟🏼
Ya you really should have had the subtitles on. Respectfully. Still a great reaction to the film
This one and the second volume are gonna be a great double feature to share with your brither Ollie. You definitely will earn those "Chill Older Bro" points.
The Kill Bill movies are my favorite QT films. I mean any movie that starts off with a Star Trek quote has to be good. 🖖
I didn't even see this in the Imdb trivia, but the masks the Crazy 88 are wearing are homages to Kato's (Bruce Lee's) in The Green Hornet TV series from the 60s. They even played the theme song (Flight of the Bumblebee) when The Bride is flying to Japan.
I just watched my Blu-Ray version last night, and it had subtitles for most if not all of the Japanese dialogue. Lots of good stuff in there, although you got the gist of most of it. (One joke you would have missed -- the whiny assistant in the restaurant says "I'm not bald. I shaved my head!")
And mentioned elsewhere, I believe you missed the bit at the beginning where it said the quote was an Old Klingon proverb. I know you saw the quote, but were looking at the camera when the other part came on. Knowing your love for Star Trek I was looking forward to a comment on it. (You did comment on the Star Trek reference they had later on in the movie.)
I love yo videos ❤🎉
Hah I am gay but watching Lucy Liu walking in slow motion was sexy I was 15 watching it in the theater for the first time. So it did cause lots of confusion growing up😅
😂
I'm also gay but, c'mon, Lucy Liu is Lucy Liu. That lady is sexy as hell! 😁🤩
@@torontomame I am asexual and aromantic, myself, but I think there is some validity to your opinion re. Lucy Alexis Liu!
@@torontomame I'm a straight lady and you are correct! 😀
Japanese is definitely not easy. Its one of the hardest languages for an english speaker to learn.
I love dis movie 🍿 R. I. P. Gogo
Too lazy to find the info, but i think i heard from a doc or something that the big fight scene was not originally intended to be in black and white. Because of the volume of blood, the scene would have had to be redone or mostly cut to avoid a worse rating. Removing the color was a decent compromise. I think there may be an international version with the color somewhere.
Thanks, Oliver! 💥 I'm so glad you enjoyed this one... I did, too. I think you'll also appreciate Volume 2. Be prepared, the vibe is very different.
If i recall correctly, the assasin that killed Oren's parents was actually a younger Bill
That is a prevalent misconception, which Q. T. himself has since refuted.
You missed a little with the subtitles but you did really well; not something to worry about it! Points for describing your knowledge of asian films as a "mindpile" in the end xD Look forward to Vol. 2 reaction! The tone shift from 1 to 2 is pretty big; IMO Vol. 2 is the better movie but it also makes Vol. 1 better in connection with it.
We'll miss you johnny mo 😢
Watch da movies with subtitles on, u can see what day R saying in Japanese. ❤
I need English subtitles for your comment.
Go-Go was an actress from the film Battle Royale much like The Hunger Games. Bill was in the Kung Fu tv series. Elle(Daryl Hannah) was in Splash, Reckless, and The Fury. Buck was in the tv series Breaking Bad and Valley Girl.
🖤🖤🖤
Watch the normal version with Subtitles. how it was in theater
Great reaction thanks. Don't go back & check, save the mystery but you, like I & the rest of the world missed it when .... BLEEP....'s name was printed on the airline ticket to Japan.
There should be subtitles on the Japanese language parts, even when not for the rest of the movie.
I hope you react to Tarantino's, Once upon a time in Hollywood. It's his love letter to Hollywood. But please if you do not know anything about Charles Mansion and the sharon tate murders, please read up on that true crime before you watch once upon a time.
My DVD has Japanese translation subtitles, even with closed captioning turned off . . .
did you see the source of the quote at 01:58 ?
42:38 "El Niño Morricaine" 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, but that was too funny.
An all time great movie
Kill Bill? ....Oh lord here we go....🩸
I appreciate it if you’d watch anything involving Edward Burns (one of the soldiers in Saving Pvt. Ryan)
My top 3 suggestions:
CONFIDENCE
SHE'S THE ONE
SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
Django & hateful 8. Tarantino must watch movies.
love
Do you have a thing against movie subtitles? Literally missed all of d9 aliwn dialog, miss japaneese dialog, and in every movie withbsubs, theyre missing.
Just download the subs so you understand whats actuslly going on.
Why didn’t you just turn on the subtitles?
Great movie😊
I would LOVE to buy a genuine replica copy of The Bride's sword, but there are so many out there . . .
17:52 "this is where I wish i could speak Japanese." ... yeah I think you need to turn subtitles on because they're there ... in the cinema and blu rays they do have them. You miss stuff if they're not on. It's designed to have them. I'm scared now that the remaining 2 hours you don't have them turned on because they are part of the film...
EDIT: ok so wow, you don't. Ok, this will be interesting. I do this with star trek with Klingons, i turn off the subtitles cos I like to see what their expressions are and "imagine" what they say (even though I know what they say).
You're watching this WITHOUT subtitles... fuck.... ok. I hope you like their acting and intonations because... you're missing a HELLLLLLL of a lot of the dialogue here...
Yeah don't know why the subtitles never appeared for me it was strange?? I don't want to turn subtitles on for the entire movie and it is weird that the version I watched on Netflix didn't have them integrated into the film. I got the jist though so that's ok!
@@RolyPolyOllieReactionsyeah they should be just for the Japanese bits...
That said, you pretty much got the context (which is a sign of good writing - you didn't even need to understand the exact words to "get" it) but there' a lot of REALLLLY good lines in there. If' say if you had to do anything, go back and watch the Hatori Hanzo scenes with her and him in the bar - and turn them on (in your spare time). It's deep and emotional.
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions There's usually two English subtitle options. One will be labeled something like "SDH" (Subtitles for Deaf and Hard of Hearing) or "CC" (Closed Captions) and will caption the whole movie... and the other one might just be "English" or "English Subtitles" for the translation subtitles.
You really need to watch Part 2 with Subtitles. You miss so much great dialog without it. The Siren sound is from an older TV show called Ironside. P.S. You can find out the name of the Bride by freeze framing her airline ticket (or just wait until Part 2).
Don't worry. The bald guy will return in the sequel.
I don't usually like these types of movies, but I enjoyed Kill Bill.
Great 🎉 movie
Ollie, sometimes you're like a toddler in a roomful of high tech equipmemt.
how come you don't have / use subtitles, the japanese and french parts are all subtitled by default. You missed all the storytelling dialogue.
if they are talking in foreign language for more than 2 sentences, it should be understood that the director is not letting the audience watch without understanding
26:45 the "cool" combo😝 very little things about kill bill are not cool
You thought that was a pretty good cliffhanger, eh?😁😁😁
22:45 "how is anyone not concerned that she has a sword" - because she's Uma-fukin-Thurman... in Bright Yellow.
Would YOU attempt to stop her?
"One more thing, Sofie... is she aware her daughter is still alive?"
BOOM! That's how you do a cliffhanger!! 😎
Fun Fact: Despite being bleeped out in the film, the name of The Bride (Uma Thurman) is revealed on her plane tickets.
Batter-Up Fact: The shot where the Bride splits a baseball in two with a samurai sword was done for real on the set. It was done by Zoë Bell, Uma Thurman's stunt double.
Boom! Head Shot! Fact: When Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo) was shooting the scene where she flings her ball and chain out, she accidentally hit Quentin Tarantino on the head as he stood by the camera.
Casting Notes Fact: Quentin Tarantino originally intended to cast a Japanese actress to play O-Ren Ishii, but before casting began, he saw Lucy Liu's work in Shanghai Noon (2000) and immediately changed O-Ren into a Chinese-Japanese-American, so that Liu could play the part.
05:35 "square call back" yup.
I am amazed that you watch so many movies and you don't know how to turn on subtitles.
28:00 "wow, how do you even get out of that??" .... like THIS.
There is no point watching this movie without subtitles
24:40 "we get the layout of everything, it's so cool" - yes, and this becomes very important in just a few minutes :D it's why the fight scene works - because we, as the audience, know all the ins and outs of this night club, without arousing suspicion. Until it goes to hell lol.
"Pictures tell a thousand words" - and never has it been so true.
Noooo. This movie is RED. Blood red
08:30 I'm going to sound like an absolute C-word here, but a song requires lyrics - this is just music :D (I'm so sorry!)
Wow, I can't believe I found someone who points this out! Nobody calls instrumentals "pieces" anymore? Or "instrumentals"? Calling everything a "song", apart from being wrong, is just stupid.
Yeah you’re supposed to know what they’re saying in Japanese
20:00 "I think he's saying this sword is so sexy". Kinda. He's saying "If you encounter God on your travels, he will be cut."
"IT's the best thing I've made in my entire life!!" - kinda. He's saying "I have done what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again; I've created 'something that kills people'. And, in that purpose, I was a success. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut."
It's intentional to read the subtitles... oh gosh, what is to come lol.
You should always have subs on in case you are talking through a plot point.
It ruins the reaction when people don't turn on the subtitles in this movie. I love Ollie, but this was a bad decision. You should know how important and well written dialog is in Quentin Tarantino movies.
13:00 "this movie doesn't care, it's just going for it and it's so awesome." -- ... ... Yup. :D
04:45: "Why are they bleeping?" Because she is The Bride. You don't get to know her name. Yet.
29:35 do you STILL wish you could see this in colour? I'm glad we don't, honestly lol.
12:00 "his tongue being bitten" it was his entire bottom lip and tongue... and... if he's not dead, he should be. There's an artery in the tongue.
Plus: I THINK she tore the "customers" throat out as well!
@@garytiptin6479I always wondered what killed him.
"I recently just watched Pulp Fiction and I'm really excited to watch Kill Bill today"
Sorry to dissapoint, but theres no butt stuff in Kill Bill. Lol
How do you not have subtitles for the dialog that is literally subtitled as a part of the movie? You missedso many incredible lines!
If, in your journey, you should meet God, He too will be cut!
You call that begging? Get on your knees!
Hatful 8 after this please.. masterpiece!
Not gonna wastw my time watching when you did not turn on the subtitles 🤷
what's even the point of watching a film that has a lotta subtitles with them off? did it not occur to you to turn them on??
miss a lot with the subtitles off, don't you?
you missed a great gag seconds from the start. watch the opening quote again.
