There's that part where they both running on opposite sides of the fence towards each other in complete silence that just looks "un-cinematic" compared to the rest of the movie, but in a cinematic way (if that makes sense) that has always been my favourite part of the fight scene. It just looks so raw and real.
@@halfbeatsthat part is a nod to old Kurosawa films. He used to have samurai that were fighting each other run parallel to each other then clash at the end
And yes BJ, the yellow jumpsuit is an homage to Brue Lee. He wore that in "Game of Death" which he was filming but had not completed when he died in 1973. It was later completed and released in '76. They used a stand in and even a cardboard cutout to finish Bruce's role. Fortunately the fight scenes were pretty much done before he died.
And of course the music playing while she was riding the yellow motorcycle was the theme music to the Green Hornet TV show, in which Bruce Lee co-starred (playing Kato).
It has the most epic fight scene ever, between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The suit gets used a lot. It's even worn by the goalie in Shaolin Soccer
The respect from O-Ren at the end came about because before that moment she had never perceived anyone as an equal let alone a threat, and in that moment it dawned on her that this was a true duel with a true warrior that she could actually potentially lose to
It was also that they used to be friends and fairly close friends at that. That “I apologize “ wasn’t just about her insults a few moments ago. Oren was apologizing for betraying her. Thts why uma was also on the verge of tears, she knew she was sorry and felt bad but she still had to kill her. It’s never confirmed but I think that’s why umas character chose Oren as the first target. I know she says it’s because she was “the easiest to find” but I call cap on that. Oren betraying her hurt her the most outside of bill
One thing about Tarantino, the man knows how to pick music like no other. The song when O-Ren and her crew are arriving at the Blue Leaves is called "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity", and the whistling pipe music is called "The Lonely Shepherd", both are just fabulous, and I listen to them all the time.
I read somewhere that Beatrix went after Oren first because they were the closest friends in the viper assassination squad. And she knew it would hurt the most so she did it to get it over with.
Holy crap. It's been 20 years!? Ugh. It's true, our perception of time speeds up as we get older, because it really feels like this movie is maybe, at most just under a decade old, but it actually came out 20 years ago.
The Bride was a member of the Deadly Viper Squad, remember when she said her code name was Black Momba. Much more backstory in Part 2. The line "She turned her from a hardiop into a convertible" made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt!
The man in the sushi bar playing Hattori Hanzo is legendary action/martial arts film star Sonny Chiba, who passed away in August, 2021. If you've never seen The Street Fighter series of films, they're almost required watching for appreciating 70s cinema. The background music playing when O-Ren marches into The House Of Blue Leaves is by Tomayasu Hotei, entitled Battle Without Honor Or Humanity (also the title of a 1973 film starring Chiba).
Tarantino intended to release Kill Bill as one 4 hour long film but his film company made him divide it up into two volumes. Ideally, it's better to watch both volumes together.
It's a long time sitting in a movie! I suppose it adds to some of the later pay offs in the second when you've been charging up your thrill for the last 3 hours. Terrintino never let a run time get in the way of his movie lol PDF, did you ever see the grindhouse double feature? PT & DP? That's another 4 or more hours, done best in 1 sitting.
I remember sitting through JFK in '91 in the theater, and it was so intense the time just flew by. If you're really engaged, time doesn't matter. But 4+ hours is pushing it.
On Trilogy Tuesday, movie theaters nationwide played the director’s cut of the first two movies of the Lord Of The Rings back to back before premiering the final movie at midnight. Over 11 1/2 hours with two intermissions where most food and drinks were free except the candy section. That was an endurance test.
It’s a definite must to see Vol. 2, and these both blew me away when I first saw them. So much to take in and yet so involving it doesn’t slow down. Absolutely love these.
"Hard top into a convertible" LMFAO!! Thank you BJ. And Asia's reaction to that was PRICELESS. All your questions/concerns will be answered in Vol. 2 including the wedding scene. Like Pulp Fiction, the timeline jumps around a bit. Without any spoilers, here's what we know. Bill was trained in swordsmanship by Hattori Hanzo. Hanzo was like Obi-Wan Kenobi to Bill, but Bill turned to the dark side and became a high level assassin. Bill formed the 'Deadly Viper Assassination Squad' recruiting 4 women and his brother Budd. Bill (the leader) is 'Snake Charmer', Elle Driver (the nurse in white) AKA 'California Mountain Snake", Vernita Greene AKA 'Copperhead', O-Ren Ishii AKA 'Cottonmouth', Bud AKA 'Sidewinder', and his number one assassin "Black Mamba" (Uma Thurman) who's real name you don't know yet. The point is, yes they all know each other and have worked together. And there is (was) some competition and envy among them.
@@stickkitty77 Honestly I wondered if I might be going too far myself. My goal really was just to clear up the relationships between Bill's minions because Asia and BJ were wondering.The last thing I want to do mess things up for them. I love their humor, comments and general style. Anyway, thank you for your feedback Allison, I'll keep it mind in the future.
I just want to say thank you to both of you. Recently, I've been struggling with neuropathy and the pain has been putting me in a very sad state. Your videos have brought me so much joy and I want to make sure you know what an impact you've had. Thank you for bringing such great energy and chemistry to this type of YT content!
You’ll get through it bud. Don’t smoke, don’t drink, and exercise as much as you can. Be very strict with yourself. This isn’t unfixable. Most importantly, don’t be afraid or embarrassed to rely on your friends and family. Use your support system to keep you accountable. That’s why they’re called a support system
I am sorry for your pain.I have neuropathy too and smoking,alcohol and sugars are terrible for neuropathy. Toucan also try dry brushing, it helps me a lot, plus check some videos about fascia rolling. I hope this helps, if you did not already know. 🤞Best of luck!
From us older guys who were kids in the 60’s, the trumpet solo by Al Hirt was the theme song from “The Green Hornet” tv series that introduced Bruce Lee to American audiences. QT sets up the theme song and introduces the “Crazy 88” who wear the Green Hornet mask.
@Asia and BJ This was Quentin's love letter to the Kung Fu flicks some of us were raised on Saturday's in the 1970's. It stays in my top 3 he even employed many famous Hong Kong actors and stunt team. Was a treat to see you all see this for the first time.
Yes, cannot wait for the next one. They all knew each other way before the wedding. When she shows up at Vernita’s house, she said they were a part of the crew and gave us both of their code names. Vernita was copperhead and the bride was Black Mamba. That’s why Vernita said “I should have been Black Mamba.”
**SPOILER FREE** To explain some of the story for those who are still confused: 1. This is filmed out of order. In chronological time, the first person she went after was Oren, remember she said she was the easiest to find. 2. As people have stated, they were all assassins who worked for Bill. So basically these were work friends who betrayed her, that's how Vernita knew about the coffee and other small stuff. 3. Vernita knew she was coming to try and kill her because of Bill. Remember, The bride went after Oren, and had that one lady tell Bill everything, so he went to warn everyone, including Vernita. 4. There are more answers to some questions that are played out in vol 2, so please no one spoil anything!
@@MIZZKIE She fell in love and she wanted to leave the death squad and Bill wouldn't let her. No one leaves. So, Bill and the assassins went after her and caught up to her at the chapel.
@@MIZZKIEno she did not. She did what she had to do to get out and Bill got in his feelings. The other assassins were just following his orders but they still turned on her.
this movie and volume 2 for me illustrates how anger fuels you. as a person who has been angry her entire life, i hope people see how anger/vengeance/etc can keep you going. there were many times that the main character/the bride could've walked away or been killed, but because of her anger, she keeps going. sometimes you don't even need food or sleep. anger gives you tunnel vision. love you both!
Yes BJ, the yellow suite was een hommage to Bruce Lee. Vol1 is also a tribute to the kungfu movie of the seventies☺ You have to see Vol 2, because Bill is still alive😊
17:47 this entire scene always gives me the biggest goosebumps. Quantin doesn't rush it, he takes it's time, with the breathtaking music filled with sorrow and determination.... fkin genius cinema
Funny trivia, Uma's character in Pulp Fiction talked about the "Fox Force 5" film that they did where her character's specialty was "knives". Many believe it's a reference to Kill Bill when it was just an idea he was working through.
You nailed it with the Bruce Lee comparison. Quentin chose that costume as an homage. You'd probably really enjoy the making of for some of these films
One of the best cliff hanger endings in a film ever. I love these movies so much. Vol. 2 is different in tone, but still great and really finishes the story. Great reaction!
Once again, a magnificent Quentin Tarantino soundtrack from around the world. The music he chooses is very deliberate and has a lot of meaning behind it. I love this man's taste in music!
I LOVE this movie. Every little detail is thought of, from music to dialog, outfits to background, choreo to lighting. Tarantino just makes really, really great movies that you can watch over and over again and won't be bored. Please put 'Jackie Brown' on your watch list, another awesome gem from Tarantino (with an epic cast).
You know you gotta do Vol 2 soon, right? Lol... Uma Thurman's stunt woman is a New Zealand woman named Zoe Bell. Possibly one of the most famous female stuntwomen. If you want another Quentin Tarantino movie with Zoe Bell literally playing herself, a New Zealand wild stuntwoman named Zoe lol, in another one of his movies, check out "Death Proof". It stars Kurt Russell, Sydney Portier (famous Sidney Portier's daughter), Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan and others. But before you watch "Death Proof", you should watch Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror". You see, Robert Rodriguez is another known, somewhat wild director and sometimes collaborator with Quentin Tarantino. If you want to check out some of his work, I'd recommend "The Faculty". If you want a Rodriguez/Quentin collab project that was done before this, I'll recommend "From Dusk Til Dawn" (Tarantino wrote and starred in it with George Clooney, while Rodriguez directed it). Another one would be "Sin City", a wild movie based on a graphic comic. Now the reason to watch "Planet Terror" before "Death Proof" is because they came out TOGETHER. When released in theaters, they were released together as a double feature called "Grindhouse", basically giving you two movies for the price of one. Both movies are supposed to be homages to old, exploitation, low-budget, b-rated movies from the 70s and their whole setup, including the title, is meant to be a nod to the grindhouse theaters that used to play these types of low-budget, b-rated, double features. Planet Terror came on first, with even fake trailers in between and beginning, then Death Proof came out, all in one sitting. They were released separately on DVDs as two separate movies, but there is the theatrical experience version that has all it. I would just recommend watching them separately. They didn't do so well at the box office. I think went in not understand the concept and simply expected the "normal" wild Tarantino and Rodriguez, without understanding the culture of what they were doing their homage to. But I think it's one of those movies that's building a cult following, especially Death Proof (Planet Terror was the more popular of the two when they first came out). Speaking of Tarantino and paying homage to exploitation films. I also recommend "Jackie Brown", starring one of THE OG action, kick-ass, bad mama jamma. black exploitation film heroine actresses, Pam Grier. One of her most famous films was "Foxy Brown". Tarantino wrote the screenplay for Jackie Brown SPECIFICALLY to have it star Pam Grier, an actress Tarantino admired and enjoyed films of. Just like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, it also play with timelines in its storytelling, a different and intriguing way. Samuel L Jackson and many others also star in this film... Okay, I wrote way too much, but as usual, love y'alls reactions 💛...
Hey, great write-up! They should def find Grindhouse and watch both Planet Terror & Deathproof with the (faux) trailers in between along with olskool intermission graphics. I had the privilege in seeing an advanced theatre screening of Grindhouse and it was the craziest theatre experience of my life! The crowd was in a frenzy...yelling and screaming, throwing popcorn, just wild. The way Grindhouse was constructed just really brought out something in those of us watching. I'll never forget it! (PS Deathproof is amazing).
@Jolly I would love for them to whole Grindhouse as a whole, complete with both movies with the fake trailers, but I know that the dvd Grindhouse version has some missing scenes, eapecially "Death Proof" that are in the sperate DVD versions, and I wasn't sure if they'd want to do two movies back to back in one sitting like that. Maybe I can link them to the fake trailers or something. But man, I had such a blast seeing it in theaters...
The Trumpet music on the Plane and in Tokyo was Al Hirt playing the theme from the TV series "The Green Hornet" (which co-starred Brude Lee). The Alarm music that played every time see wncountered one of the people who tried to kill her was from the TV series "Ironsides". Kudos to RZA for the great Music!
Actually, that particular music is far older. It is called The Flight of the Bulblebee and was written in the 1800’s. Notice how her yellow costume fits the bumblebee theme.
All the questions you guys asked at the end were exactly what Quentin Tarantino wanted people to ask leading up to Vol 2. This movie is such a masterpiece.
"That's what you call turning a hard-top into a convertible" That had me cracking up! Best comment of the show, bro!! LOL The two women DID know each other - they were all part of the same assassin gang. You said frenemies - which is not far off. Consider it a professional courtesy. This falls under the "honor" part of their code. The same honor that made Bill call off the one-eye assassin from killing her in her sleep with poison.
Big shout out to Zoe Bell, Umas stunt double, our girl from New Zealand. She was also in Death Proof, another film worth watching from QT. She did all the sword work and the stunts and kicks ass. Next instalment please!
Up next, Vol. 2!!! Fun fact, when Hatori throws the baseball and The Bride slashes it in two perfect halves - Uma's stunt double (in the scene) really did that! BJ got me with that hardtop into a convertible line 😂 and his reaction to the reveal about her daughter at the end was mine as well. Tivo'ed both films and was staying up late in high school to watch the first one - using the family tv, had to wait until everyone else was asleep - as soon as Vol 1 ended, I jumped right into Vol 2!!! No regrets. Cannot wait until I see that Vol 2 upload!
Love your videos. My spouse is deployed and watching the two of you interact brings a sense of family movie night that I have been missing. Keep up the great work.
Fun fact: Tarantino, at the time, toyed with the idea of continuing the story with Vernita's (Vivica A. Fox) daughter seeking revenge on the Bride based off the line in the kitchen. He talked about shooting footage with the little girl and Uma Thurman as part of flashbacks. I don't think he ever did it but I did like the idea.
One of the many things I love about this movie is that the scene where she's pulling herself up and into the truck? There was no help at all. That's why it looks so convincing. She was actually pulling herself up with /only/ her arms. Very cool.
It's a difficult technique to master since "catching and redirecting the weapon" can ONLY be safely done through the chain - Jackie Chan has used a safer variant of this (just a weighted end on a length of rope) in several of his movies - most notably in "Shanghai Noon" where he used a horseshoe on the end of a rope to defend himself against a group of attackers)
Love it Death proof is so good too. Filmed and shown like old school movies were and used to break during the viewing etc. Dollar movie theaters were the greatest and loved how film broke multiple times a showing. 😆 😆
Y'all should watch the Kill Bill movies back to back while it's still fresh on your mind. BJ, yes Bruce Lee wore a jumpsuit very similar to that one in the movie "Game of Death". Hopefully you both will get around to seeing The Last Dragon, main character had wore the same jumpsuit in that movie as well.
I normally can’t sit through reaction videos, most people annoy me. You two are actually fun to watch a movie with, I’m pretty stoned and I feel Ike I’m watching movies with a couple of friends! Subscribed.
I love vicariously reliving some of these films by watching you guys react.. I'm usually listening while driving a semi down the road so I can't actually watch these movies but I get to relive their listening to you guys watch them and I appreciate it... Especially at 4:45 a.m.
Too much to say, from the lore of Hattori Hanzo to how Quentin was buying a jacket in Tokyo, heard the 5,6,7,8's in the store, bought the stores album and got them in to shoot the scenes. How he met RZA and how he came to do Vol 1's soundtrack, etc etc. Genius. Looking forward to Vol 2. Be well 🍻
This reaction was hands down THE BEST Kill Bill reaction ever! You guys are so damn funny! Just my opinion, but I think Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 are the best movies Tarantino has ever made! ( just my humble opinion..Pulp Fiction is a very close second place!)💕💕💕
My father and I watched this movie when it released in theaters . And omg BJ my father said the exact same thing " that's what you call turning a hard top into a convertible " My father passed away back in January 23rd 2018 he was an amazing father and he was extremely funny . I miss him so much its beyond my comprehension . I really enjoyed your video ! Both of you really make me laugh with your reactions . And Asia's smile is incredible when I see her smile I can feel my soul .
This is an AWESOME way to start the series. The viewers know/knew that there was going to be a follow up movie. The VOL. 1 gives that away. And VOL. 2 answers questions we are left with AND is just as good if not better than VOL. 1. PLEASE, please watch the second movie. Great reactions to this.
Watch Volume 2 like, now!!!! 😂 I can’t wait! I saw both of these when they came out, the wait was torture. And everyone in the theater was buzzing with that final line about if she knew her daughter was alive. It was a full house, late night showing, and the whole crowd was HYPED leaving that theater. It was a good thing no one else was around because spoilers were flying. 😂
That was 100% one of the best reactions I have ever watched!!! The way he was clown’n and her jaw was just dropped through half. The movie was just pure gold.😂 that was super fun to watch. Thanks guys you definitely got a sub from me!!! ❤
Remember in Pulp Fiction, Wallace wife said that she made a pilot about a female assassin team? Well the Vipers is the team she was talking about! All of Quinton movies connect to each other.
Go-Go's weapon falls into what is called a soft or flexible class. These weapons are often the equivalent of a retrievable knife or mace and are usually linked to a long rope or chain. I practice the rope dart myself and they are a difficult weapon to defend against. Their drawbacks are they require years and years of training requiring absolute control and are useless in small spaces. The girl who plays her is an actual martial artist which is why she's in control of the timing as she starts spinning it above her head.
You guys gotta watch Be Cool if you wanna see another Uma Thurman and John Travolta movie. Be Cool has Dwayne Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer and Andre 3000 in it. Plus some other big names I won't mention.
Not sure if someone else mentioned this. The song covered by The 5.6.7.8's is called “I'm Blue” and was written by Ike Turner for The Ikettes and was released in 1961. 😊
I loved (re-)watching this with you guys. And yes, Vol. II is a must-see as the Bride's final confrontation with the object of her revenge unfolds (the pacing of that confrontation takes its time as the culmination of what had been initially intended as a 4-hour-long movie; because Tarantino relishes a taut ramped up scene before bloodshed; and the reveal at the conclusion of Vol. I, which would have been the mid-point if this had been a 4-hour-long movie; had just pointed to much higher stakes that now compels the viewing of Vol. II). In Vol. II, you see more revelations like the rest of her revenge list (in addition to a "new" character, which, like Hattori in Vol. I, I think echoes the theme of redemption), including more of the Bride's back-story and the eventual finale that features a more profoundly life-affirming motivation for her than just revenge.
So the weapon that go-go uses is modernize version of the meteor hammer, a weapon that is rather challenging to utilize safely as it can be just as dangerous to the user as it is to the opponent. I found it interesting that between her bodyguards falling to the bride and the entire crazy 88 showing up, O-Ren actually considered seppuku as opposed to going head to head with the bride. Definitely watch volume 2, well worth the time.
So glad you both watched and reacted to this😎Now, you still have questions? Well, Kill Bill Bol. 2 will answer all of them and how this all began. Hope you both watch it soon but will be looking forward to whatever movie you both decide to react to. Peace! - Gene A.
BJ is killing me with these lines. “That’s how you turn a hardtop I to a convertible.” 😂😂😂😂 I can’t wait for part 2.
i had such a big laugh at that line 😂😂
"Go-Go Gadget" was hilarious too.
😂yeah I lost it at that comment, and Asia’s reaction!!
"did she cut her brains off?" hahaha
EPIC, BJ! Simply EPIC.
o-ren's speech after beheading the guy is one of the most ICONIC movie scenes of all time
I know right. She's one badass in it!!
Her deliberate movements are unreal level of impressive
Ok but like why did so many people Eat in this movie OMGGG
When Asia said "oh baby we can't watch this😱" after just 5 mins made me giggle, knowing what was yet to come 😂
LOOOOL I immediately came down here for this. That was so funny ha ha.
Although it’s a fight scene that ends in an horrific death, the scene in the Japanese garden is to me one of the most cinematically beautiful.
That scene and the bamboo fountain was genius.
There's that part where they both running on opposite sides of the fence towards each other in complete silence that just looks "un-cinematic" compared to the rest of the movie, but in a cinematic way (if that makes sense) that has always been my favourite part of the fight scene. It just looks so raw and real.
That snow scene reminded me of an Asian movie made long ago yet I can't recalled the name. It was a magnificent scene.
@halfbeats Actually I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective.
@@halfbeatsthat part is a nod to old Kurosawa films. He used to have samurai that were fighting each other run parallel to each other then clash at the end

Whole ost od epic
Pay some respects to RZA from wu-tang as well. The man did his thing on this soundtrack.
You mean nobody else listens to Al Hirt’s Green Hornet theme? It makes being stuck in traffic more anxious AND fun.
Ennio morricone got pissed that Tarantino used his music without permission.
Battle of Honor is also played during the tunnel scene in Transformers when bumblebee turns into the 2000s Mustang. That song makes everything cooler.
I read somewhere that Beatrix went after Oren first because they were the closest friends in the viper assassination squad. And she knew it would hurt the most so she did it to get it over with.
I can't believe it's 20 years this year! Still one of the most epic movies ever. Please do Vol. 2 it's even sicker!
Thanks. Now I'm 75 years old 😤 I keep getting fking older every time an early 2000s hit is period-pieced
The monologue is epic.
Holy crap. It's been 20 years!? Ugh. It's true, our perception of time speeds up as we get older, because it really feels like this movie is maybe, at most just under a decade old, but it actually came out 20 years ago.
I love when Asia looks so concerned and BJ is over there acting like he’s fighting with the characters 😂
“Thou shall not try me!” -Asia, the shirt you’re wearing is PERFECT for Uma Thurman’s character: they tried her & she handled them 1 by 1 💯🎬🍿⚔️
Have to say Uma did a tremendous job in this, the hard work to look like an expert certainly worked.
Yeah where can I it ? Great reaction ! You tow are a perfect match ! You remind me the older couples in the intermission of : when harry …
Came here to comment how cool the shirt was, for sure, didn't even think about how appropriate it was for the film until your comment!
That is an amazing shirt lol

Thanks so much for sharing this Spectre’sWrath!! Much love to you and glad you’re watching with us, real talk!!
You’ll get through it bud. Don’t smoke, don’t drink, and exercise as much as you can. Be very strict with yourself. This isn’t unfixable.
Most importantly, don’t be afraid or embarrassed to rely on your friends and family. Use your support system to keep you accountable. That’s why they’re called a support system
I am sorry for your pain.I have neuropathy too and smoking,alcohol and sugars are terrible for neuropathy. Toucan also try dry brushing, it helps me a lot, plus check some videos about fascia rolling. I hope this helps, if you did not already know. 🤞Best of luck!
Omg! Asia's face during the movie was priceless. Both of you were moving like you were on a rollercoaster. Excellent!
From us older guys who were kids in the 60’s, the trumpet solo by Al Hirt was the theme song from “The Green Hornet” tv series that introduced Bruce Lee to American audiences. QT sets up the theme song and introduces the “Crazy 88” who wear the Green Hornet mask.
@Asia and BJ This was Quentin's love letter to the Kung Fu flicks some of us were raised on Saturday's in the 1970's. It stays in my top 3 he even employed many famous Hong Kong actors and stunt team. Was a treat to see you all see this for the first time.
Yes, cannot wait for the next one. They all knew each other way before the wedding. When she shows up at Vernita’s house, she said they were a part of the crew and gave us both of their code names. Vernita was copperhead and the bride was Black Mamba. That’s why Vernita said “I should have been Black Mamba.”
**SPOILER FREE** To explain some of the story for those who are still confused:
1. This is filmed out of order. In chronological time, the first person she went after was Oren, remember she said she was the easiest to find.
2. As people have stated, they were all assassins who worked for Bill. So basically these were work friends who betrayed her, that's how Vernita knew about the coffee and other small stuff.
3. Vernita knew she was coming to try and kill her because of Bill. Remember, The bride went after Oren, and had that one lady tell Bill everything, so he went to warn everyone, including Vernita.
4. There are more answers to some questions that are played out in vol 2, so please no one spoil anything!
About #2: No, it's actually B****** (Uma Thurman) who betrayed the Squad. Hence the reason why they massacred the wedding party.
@@MIZZKIE She fell in love and she wanted to leave the death squad and Bill wouldn't let her. No one leaves. So, Bill and the assassins went after her and caught up to her at the chapel.
@@too2great8she really Didint fell in love, she thought this life Best suited for her Child
@@too2great8its crazy that they killed her for wanting the life that vernita ended up having just 4 years later
@@MIZZKIEno she did not. She did what she had to do to get out and Bill got in his feelings. The other assassins were just following his orders but they still turned on her.
this movie and volume 2 for me illustrates how anger fuels you. as a person who has been angry her entire life, i hope people see how anger/vengeance/etc can keep you going. there were many times that the main character/the bride could've walked away or been killed, but because of her anger, she keeps going. sometimes you don't even need food or sleep. anger gives you tunnel vision. love you both!
BJ: "That's what you call turnin' a hardtop into a convertible." I wish you two had been in the audience with me when I saw this! Fantastic reaction!
Asia's facial expressions made this video!! 😆👌🏻
"Go Go Gadget" was the best line!!
Keep it up you two! Love your videos!❤️
Yes BJ, the yellow suite was een hommage to Bruce Lee. Vol1 is also a tribute to the kungfu movie of the seventies☺ You have to see Vol 2, because Bill is still alive😊
Spoiler!!
Game of Death is the film that Bruce wears the yellow/black outfit. His trainees (sneakers) are Onitsuka Tigers.
17:47 this entire scene always gives me the biggest goosebumps. Quantin doesn't rush it, he takes it's time, with the breathtaking music filled with sorrow and determination.... fkin genius cinema
Funny trivia, Uma's character in Pulp Fiction talked about the "Fox Force 5" film that they did where her character's specialty was "knives". Many believe it's a reference to Kill Bill when it was just an idea he was working through.
You nailed it with the Bruce Lee comparison. Quentin chose that costume as an homage. You'd probably really enjoy the making of for some of these films
"Hard top into a convertible" Best line ever by BJ.
One of the best cliff hanger endings in a film ever. I love these movies so much. Vol. 2 is different in tone, but still great and really finishes the story. Great reaction!
Nothing hits quite like that first punch right to Vernita Green's face- really lets you know where the Bride's mind is at.
Once again, a magnificent Quentin Tarantino soundtrack from around the world. The music he chooses is very deliberate and has a lot of meaning behind it. I love this man's taste in music!
I LOVE this movie. Every little detail is thought of, from music to dialog, outfits to background, choreo to lighting. Tarantino just makes really, really great movies that you can watch over and over again and won't be bored. Please put 'Jackie Brown' on your watch list, another awesome gem from Tarantino (with an epic cast).
The snap of those two blades coming together to the music was *chef's kiss*.
You know you gotta do Vol 2 soon, right? Lol...
Uma Thurman's stunt woman is a New Zealand woman named Zoe Bell. Possibly one of the most famous female stuntwomen. If you want another Quentin Tarantino movie with Zoe Bell literally playing herself, a New Zealand wild stuntwoman named Zoe lol, in another one of his movies, check out "Death Proof". It stars Kurt Russell, Sydney Portier (famous Sidney Portier's daughter), Rosario Dawson, Rose McGowan and others.
But before you watch "Death Proof", you should watch Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror". You see, Robert Rodriguez is another known, somewhat wild director and sometimes collaborator with Quentin Tarantino. If you want to check out some of his work, I'd recommend "The Faculty". If you want a Rodriguez/Quentin collab project that was done before this, I'll recommend "From Dusk Til Dawn" (Tarantino wrote and starred in it with George Clooney, while Rodriguez directed it). Another one would be "Sin City", a wild movie based on a graphic comic.
Now the reason to watch "Planet Terror" before "Death Proof" is because they came out TOGETHER. When released in theaters, they were released together as a double feature called "Grindhouse", basically giving you two movies for the price of one. Both movies are supposed to be homages to old, exploitation, low-budget, b-rated movies from the 70s and their whole setup, including the title, is meant to be a nod to the grindhouse theaters that used to play these types of low-budget, b-rated, double features. Planet Terror came on first, with even fake trailers in between and beginning, then Death Proof came out, all in one sitting. They were released separately on DVDs as two separate movies, but there is the theatrical experience version that has all it. I would just recommend watching them separately. They didn't do so well at the box office. I think went in not understand the concept and simply expected the "normal" wild Tarantino and Rodriguez, without understanding the culture of what they were doing their homage to. But I think it's one of those movies that's building a cult following, especially Death Proof (Planet Terror was the more popular of the two when they first came out).
Speaking of Tarantino and paying homage to exploitation films. I also recommend "Jackie Brown", starring one of THE OG action, kick-ass, bad mama jamma. black exploitation film heroine actresses, Pam Grier. One of her most famous films was "Foxy Brown". Tarantino wrote the screenplay for Jackie Brown SPECIFICALLY to have it star Pam Grier, an actress Tarantino admired and enjoyed films of. Just like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, it also play with timelines in its storytelling, a different and intriguing way. Samuel L Jackson and many others also star in this film...
Okay, I wrote way too much, but as usual, love y'alls reactions 💛...
Hey, great write-up! They should def find Grindhouse and watch both Planet Terror & Deathproof with the (faux) trailers in between along with olskool intermission graphics. I had the privilege in seeing an advanced theatre screening of Grindhouse and it was the craziest theatre experience of my life! The crowd was in a frenzy...yelling and screaming, throwing popcorn, just wild. The way Grindhouse was constructed just really brought out something in those of us watching. I'll never forget it! (PS Deathproof is amazing).
One of my favorite movies: Foxy Brown
Gotta shout out El mariachi and Desperado if talking about Robert Rodriguez
@Jolly I would love for them to whole Grindhouse as a whole, complete with both movies with the fake trailers, but I know that the dvd Grindhouse version has some missing scenes, eapecially "Death Proof" that are in the sperate DVD versions, and I wasn't sure if they'd want to do two movies back to back in one sitting like that. Maybe I can link them to the fake trailers or something. But man, I had such a blast seeing it in theaters...
@Gregorio Fox "Desperato" was the other Rodriguez movie I was trying to think of lol. Thank you...
Awww Asia when you sang along it was so adorbs lol
The Trumpet music on the Plane and in Tokyo was Al Hirt playing the theme from the TV series "The Green Hornet" (which co-starred Brude Lee). The Alarm music that played every time see wncountered one of the people who tried to kill her was from the TV series "Ironsides". Kudos to RZA for the great Music!
Ironsides was such a great show!!
Actually, that particular music is far older. It is called The Flight of the Bulblebee and was written in the 1800’s. Notice how her yellow costume fits the bumblebee theme.
All the questions you guys asked at the end were exactly what Quentin Tarantino wanted people to ask leading up to Vol 2. This movie is such a masterpiece.
Right up there with Inglorious Basterds as my favorite Tarantino film. What an amazing performance by Uma Thurman! Can't wait til you do Volume 2!
Uma Thurman is a living beast; the training for this was brutal and worth every bruise 👊💥💥💥💥
"That's what you call turning a hard-top into a convertible"
That had me cracking up! Best comment of the show, bro!! LOL
The two women DID know each other - they were all part of the same assassin gang. You said frenemies - which is not far off. Consider it a professional courtesy. This falls under the "honor" part of their code. The same honor that made Bill call off the one-eye assassin from killing her in her sleep with poison.
Big shout out to Zoe Bell, Umas stunt double, our girl from New Zealand. She was also in Death Proof, another film worth watching from QT. She did all the sword work and the stunts and kicks ass. Next instalment please!
Up next, Vol. 2!!! Fun fact, when Hatori throws the baseball and The Bride slashes it in two perfect halves - Uma's stunt double (in the scene) really did that!
BJ got me with that hardtop into a convertible line 😂 and his reaction to the reveal about her daughter at the end was mine as well. Tivo'ed both films and was staying up late in high school to watch the first one - using the family tv, had to wait until everyone else was asleep - as soon as Vol 1 ended, I jumped right into Vol 2!!! No regrets. Cannot wait until I see that Vol 2 upload!
Love your videos. My spouse is deployed and watching the two of you interact brings a sense of family movie night that I have been missing. Keep up the great work.
Much love to you your wife, David!
Thanks ❤️❤️
Fun fact: Tarantino, at the time, toyed with the idea of continuing the story with Vernita's (Vivica A. Fox) daughter seeking revenge on the Bride based off the line in the kitchen. He talked about shooting footage with the little girl and Uma Thurman as part of flashbacks. I don't think he ever did it but I did like the idea.
He definitely did a good job of leaving the door open for that opportunity.
He still may do it as his tenth and final film.
He goes back and forth on doing it or not.
"got a go go gadget thing on it" yooo that was friggin hilarious! lmao!
Best line of the reaction “Babe, we can’t watch this!”
One of the many things I love about this movie is that the scene where she's pulling herself up and into the truck? There was no help at all. That's why it looks so convincing. She was actually pulling herself up with /only/ her arms. Very cool.
Go Go's weapon was a meteor hammer, albeit a cinematic one. It was said to be dangerous, including to the user since it wasn't easy to control.
It's a difficult technique to master since "catching and redirecting the weapon" can ONLY be safely done through the chain - Jackie Chan has used a safer variant of this (just a weighted end on a length of rope) in several of his movies - most notably in "Shanghai Noon" where he used a horseshoe on the end of a rope to defend himself against a group of attackers)
@@ericc8705 And like the European flail, if the movement is anything but continuous it can easily go out of control.
I love that this movie was inspired by the fictional Fox Force 5 Pilot from Pulp Fiction 🔥
You hit the nail on the head with the comment about the yellow jumpsuit - it really is a tribute to Bruce Lee!
The move she did when she plucked out old dudes eyeball, there's a secret with that and you have to watch. KILL BILL volume 2 to get it.
Love it
Death proof is so good too.
Filmed and shown like old school movies were and used to break during the viewing etc. Dollar movie theaters were the greatest and loved how film broke multiple times a showing. 😆 😆
That hardtop into a convertible line had me laughing with tears in my eyes! BJ you are hilarious.!
Y'all should watch the Kill Bill movies back to back while it's still fresh on your mind. BJ, yes Bruce Lee wore a jumpsuit very similar to that one in the movie "Game of Death". Hopefully you both will get around to seeing The Last Dragon, main character had wore the same jumpsuit in that movie as well.
I love watching these old movies with y'all....your facial expressions are PRICELESS and Asia and her blanket are adorable. I hope you watch part 2
I normally can’t sit through reaction videos, most people annoy me. You two are actually fun to watch a movie with, I’m pretty stoned and I feel Ike I’m watching movies with a couple of friends! Subscribed.
Hey, Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it w/ us and appreciate the sub!!
I love vicariously reliving some of these films by watching you guys react.. I'm usually listening while driving a semi down the road so I can't actually watch these movies but I get to relive their listening to you guys watch them and I appreciate it... Especially at 4:45 a.m.
Too much to say, from the lore of Hattori Hanzo to how Quentin was buying a jacket in Tokyo, heard the 5,6,7,8's in the store, bought the stores album and got them in to shoot the scenes. How he met RZA and how he came to do Vol 1's soundtrack, etc etc.
Genius.
Looking forward to Vol 2.
Be well 🍻
This reaction was hands down THE BEST Kill Bill reaction ever! You guys are so damn funny! Just my opinion, but I think Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 are the best movies Tarantino has ever made! ( just my humble opinion..Pulp Fiction is a very close second place!)💕💕💕
This was a great reaction! 😂😂😂 Watching BJ face light up during the fight scenes was hilarious😂 He was so excited😂 like a little kid. 👏👏👏❤
Ya’ll I had the WORST week. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face. Can’t wait for part 2!!
Asia gets me EVERY dang TIME with that little "okay"😂
She gets me with, "You're LYIN'!"
"I cannot"
Oh yeah, volume 2! Loved loved loved your reaction! You guys need to watch part 2! 🤗
My father and I watched this movie when it released in theaters . And omg BJ my father said the exact same thing " that's what you call turning a hard top into a convertible " My father passed away back in January 23rd 2018 he was an amazing father and he was extremely funny . I miss him so much its beyond my comprehension . I really enjoyed your video ! Both of you really make me laugh with your reactions . And Asia's smile is incredible when I see her smile I can feel my soul .
This is an AWESOME way to start the series. The viewers know/knew that there was going to be a follow up movie. The VOL. 1 gives that away. And VOL. 2 answers questions we are left with AND is just as good if not better than VOL. 1. PLEASE, please watch the second movie. Great reactions to this.
Watch Volume 2 like, now!!!! 😂 I can’t wait! I saw both of these when they came out, the wait was torture. And everyone in the theater was buzzing with that final line about if she knew her daughter was alive. It was a full house, late night showing, and the whole crowd was HYPED leaving that theater. It was a good thing no one else was around because spoilers were flying. 😂
I remember as soon as vol 2 came out I rushed to the theater to watch it.
It was painful to wait between vol1 and 2.
14:44
right between the eyes
No surprise
Goodbye 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude got bars 😂
That was 100% one of the best reactions I have ever watched!!! The way he was clown’n and her jaw was just dropped through half. The movie was just pure gold.😂 that was super fun to watch. Thanks guys you definitely got a sub from me!!! ❤
11:59 awwwww I love that BJ asked if Asia was ok after that scene ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ultimate revenge story. Can't wait until you see part 2. It gets even crazier
Hardtop into a convertible! That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard!🤣🤣🤣🤣
BJ is killing me with unwritten rules and hardtops/convertibles. Love your reactions and enthusiasm and love for each other.
"That's what you call turning a hard top into a convertible." Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Asia: "What about everybody else... Bill?"
Me: Part ll
Lol Asia with her trusty blanket... If you think this one was a "What is going on" wait until you watch Volume 2. It will explain a lot though.
You will have to see Vol 2 now.
Great film and great reaction. Asia, some of your facial expressions were priceless.
best cliffhanger of all time. Kill Bill Volume 2 delivers. Thank you for this. So awesome.
A great movie with a great cast...This movie has reached legendary status...There`s not one bad scene in this movie...You both will love it.
Remember in Pulp Fiction, Wallace wife said that she made a pilot about a female assassin team? Well the Vipers is the team she was talking about! All of Quinton movies connect to each other.
Her outfit was a tribute to Bruce lee you nailed it. Great reaction as always
Go-Go's weapon falls into what is called a soft or flexible class. These weapons are often the equivalent of a retrievable knife or mace and are usually linked to a long rope or chain. I practice the rope dart myself and they are a difficult weapon to defend against. Their drawbacks are they require years and years of training requiring absolute control and are useless in small spaces. The girl who plays her is an actual martial artist which is why she's in control of the timing as she starts spinning it above her head.
What's Go go's real name?
Fun fact: The Rza from Wu-Tang Clan produced most of the score for this movie. Lars Ulrich from Metallica also produced some of the music too.
You guys gotta watch Be Cool if you wanna see another Uma Thurman and John Travolta movie. Be Cool has Dwayne Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer and Andre 3000 in it. Plus some other big names I won't mention.
TURN A HARD TOP INTO A CONVERTIBLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed until I cried! Thanks for this one, I had so much fun watching
BJ's one-liners are absolutely perfect!! 😀
"oh Go-Go...you better Go Go Power Ranger" lmao. Perfect lol
Watch volume 2 asap, they were meant to be one movie, so you don't really have the whole story yet.
Not sure if someone else mentioned this. The song covered by The 5.6.7.8's is called “I'm Blue” and was written by Ike Turner for The Ikettes and was released in 1961. 😊
I loved (re-)watching this with you guys. And yes, Vol. II is a must-see as the Bride's final confrontation with the object of her revenge unfolds (the pacing of that confrontation takes its time as the culmination of what had been initially intended as a 4-hour-long movie; because Tarantino relishes a taut ramped up scene before bloodshed; and the reveal at the conclusion of Vol. I, which would have been the mid-point if this had been a 4-hour-long movie; had just pointed to much higher stakes that now compels the viewing of Vol. II). In Vol. II, you see more revelations like the rest of her revenge list (in addition to a "new" character, which, like Hattori in Vol. I, I think echoes the theme of redemption), including more of the Bride's back-story and the eventual finale that features a more profoundly life-affirming motivation for her than just revenge.
So happy you guys reviewed this!!
Yes you must watch all 3 for the full story and check out more of his movies down the line
So the weapon that go-go uses is modernize version of the meteor hammer, a weapon that is rather challenging to utilize safely as it can be just as dangerous to the user as it is to the opponent.
I found it interesting that between her bodyguards falling to the bride and the entire crazy 88 showing up, O-Ren actually considered seppuku as opposed to going head to head with the bride.
Definitely watch volume 2, well worth the time.
I've watched a few of your movie reactions and it's likewatching them again for the first time. Loving it ya'll.
So glad you both watched and reacted to this😎Now, you still have questions? Well, Kill Bill Bol. 2 will answer all of them and how this all began. Hope you both watch it soon but will be looking forward to whatever movie you both decide to react to. Peace! - Gene A.
