Vol 1. has arguably my favorite Tarantino ending of all his movies. That cliffhanger is just incredible.
An initially unplanned ending.
@@jacksprat418-ju5qo True. It was supposed to be one long movie, but Q broke it up. Frankly, I think the split made the Vol. 1 cliffhanger a classic . . .
Agreed. I was so pissed when I saw it in the theater but every time I watched it after that the ending got better and better. It just gets enough of the story in without it becoming repetitive
Lucy Liu makes this one, for me. Love that character and love the actress.
Unforgettable first time theater experience. The music, the visuals, the absolute unpredictability of it all.
FUN FACT: O-Ren says that the Bride won't last five minutes. The fight ends up lasting 4:59.
Very cool stuff, didn't know that
For once someone has actually provided an actually fun fact instead of just a fact. Thanks, that's a neat choice
@@RunicMikebased. 😎
OMG I never knew that!!
And I learned something new!
Hattori Hanzo not only helps the Bride, but breaks his life long vow, which is no small thing, to help her... A lot of western people don't understand why he would do that so easily. But it wasn't easily. Bill was a former student of Hanzo, and in the Asian culture, the teacher-student relationship is sacred... The fact that a former student of yours is using the skills you taught them, to do evil in the world, is a huge shame and massive responsibility to the teacher. In Asian culture, it was the teacher that failed the student, so that is why the student ended up like that... And only to kill his student will make it right.
Uma Thurman's character clearly understood this.
Did people really not understand this? Even without the understanding of the Asian cultural influence, it's quite obvious between the acting/dialog that he feels an immense responsibility (made more obvious by the breaking of his vow).
One of the things that amuses me the most in this film, that nobody ever acknowledges, is that The Bride isn’t the only person with a sword with her on the flight back from Japan. I like to think that airline has Coach/ Business/ and Revenge Class seating. 😂
Revenge Class!! 😂😂😂
Apparently Japanese airlines used to have special holders next to the seats for your sword.
HA!! I have loved this film since it was released, and never noticed that! Now, I gotta go find my DVD. And blow the dust off my old DVD player down in the basement and see if it still works. 😆
It's clear that it's all-killer (no filler) secret airline, the kind of background world-building detail of an alternate world of assassins that would influence later movies like John Wick.
Yep. The seats have sword holders built in, so it seems like traveling with a sword is not uncommon in this version of Earth.
I love that detail because it bypasses the "how did she get that on plane" question. Imagine the pilot having a katana just in case lol.
"If you encounter God, God will be cut" is one of the most baller lines I've ever heard in a movie.
My favourite line of the whole film...
So many good lines in this movie. Tarantino is amazing.
it REALLY is
Addie when starting this channel: "Oh no... blood and violence"
Addie now: "the ground is so beatufil and white... *gets excided* we''re going to be able to see so much Blood on this Snow !"
😂😂😂
Oh no... we turned Addie into a bloodlust reactor! Lol The part when Addie said "The snow is so white.... We'll be able to see all the blood!" You definitely had a gleam in your eyes! 👀 Lol Addie you've changed... And I like it! Haha😂. Thanks for sharing!❤️💛
It's so white..
You can really taste the red!
My favorite scene is "The man from Okinawa."
Hatori Hanzo was played by Japanese actor Sonny Chiba, a Judo and Karate expert who starred in many popular martial arts films starting in 1973.
He died of Covid in 2021.
He was also shown and mentioned in True Romance, also written by QT
What have we done to poor innocent Addie??? She was so excited for bloody snow at the end...😂
One of the great pleasures in watching reactions to this is the anticipation of the reactor's response to the final line. 🙂
Omgg heyoo😊
I saw this opening day in theaters. When Sophie's arm gets cut off to when O-Ren dies you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what they were seeing. I remember my eyes started to hurt from lack of blinking. I had seen every Tarantino film up to this one and none of them even remotely prepared me for this nor anyone at the time. And waiting a whole year with that cliffhanger was brutal!
That's rough buddy
The face she made when she saw that dude split in HALF by the sword; priceless! 😲😁
The fight between O-Ren and The Bride is one of my favorites in cinema.
There a a lot of people who survive headshots. My great-grandfather got shot through his head in WW1, was partly deaf but lived to 96.
The birth of ‘Evil Addie’! 😂
Muahahaha!
Wrong, she's Darth Addie now.
LOL. She went from Stabby Addie to Darth Addie.
@@AddieCountsnot evil addie
Kill Bill vol. 1+2 are my favorite Tarantino films. Clean and clear cinematography, sensational soundtrack, a strong storyline, elegant editing, perfect pacing and amazing acting. Tarrantino's love of cinema really shines through in both of these movies.
Can't wait for Vol 2. As much fun and as brutal as Vol 1 is, the ending of Vol 2 is just **chef's kiss**.
Since the woman used a cereal box to disguise the gun she fired, she's obviously a serial killer. The rest of the film will show this is not a joke, but foreshadowing.
The name of the cereal was also called "Kaboom"
I love the lack of exposition. O-Ren Ishii is one of my favorite villains in movie history. You infer O-Ren and the Bride's friendship because she knows O-Ren's entire life story. O-Ren and The Bride saying the old Trix cereal motto in unison, obviously a inside joke, and O-Ren apologizing for mocking the Bride, a sign of respect.
the Trix are for kids is such a small but awesome part of this script
They were clearly besties at some point. Both of them at times not accepted into the cultures within which they chose to inhabit and eventually rose to the top of. We can only assume that The Bride's backstory was equally as tragic. And their style of approach were similar: strength and honor. Although cottonmouth could be decidedly more deceptive. When we witness the face off between the black mamba and the sidewinder, the differences in interpretation of honor is more clear to see. Whereas the California Mountain Snake truly has none.
Kill Bill started off as a 3-hour movie. By Quentin Tarantino being Quentin Tarantino kept writing while they were shooting the movie. And he ended up with almost 8 hours of film.. and it was decided to have volume one and volume two. But it is still considered to be one movie
The Bride's classic yellow jumpsuit with the black racing stripe was inspired by one Bruce Lee wore.
Yeah. That's why Tarantino shouldn't talk about Bruce Lee and his relatíve like that later...
THANK you for reacting to this. One of his most cinematically gorgeous films. Somehow he made copious blood and violence interesting and beautiful and satisfying. Great reaction!
Her: (amazed) She took on three guys at once! - Movie: Hold my beer
Addie: "Oh so much blood"
Me: *Thinking about the crazy 88 scene*......"Oh you haven't seen nothing yet" 😂😂😂😂
And it's not even the Japan-Cut which you see it in full colour... mostly red of course 😂
Yes the full color one is very hard
Yeah you and literally everyone else 🙄
Allegedly Tarantino had to do that part in black and white to prevent an nc17 rating
@@pkdude5334 Correct. Just goes to show how arbitrary censorship boards are.
This review was SUCH a joy to watch as a Kill Bill fan!! I cannot wait to watch your Vol 2!!!!!!!!!!
You are always such a kind, empathetic and intelligent person. Love your videos!
Once the club owner gets the place cleaned up she'll probably do better business than ever. Lots of people would want to go to the club where the big Yakuza fight took place.
Only tourists. Most japanese people would probably give it a wide berth.
this movie... it's a gorgeous example of art.
regretfully gory, but the music will stick with you.
"Twisted nerve" "Green Hornet" "Bang Bang" "Battle without honor" "Who Hoo" and "The lonely shepherd" ! and not to forget that whistle!
Volume two is a little slower but it has more depth. Together they are two of the most superb movies ever filmed.
I felt personally, and with many I've talked to, that one often starts liking Vol. 1 more and feeling a little underwhelmed by the lower adrenaline level of Vol. 2, but on rewatch and after further consideration, ultimately end up liking 2 even more. I'm always curious to see which way a reacter will go, though of course we'll never know if they follow my theory after a month or year's reflection on it :)
I'm glad we are here. I've been waiting for this one. and the way you handled BlackHawk Down, I realized you can get past the insane intensity scenes that R-rated films put out. Gonna start watching now. 🙏Thank You Addie for all that you do!!! 🙏
Very fun reaction Addie.
This movie franchise is a crazy ride. I think vol 2 might be even better.
Don't think I would want to mess with Addie, she loves revenge very much. Giving me Scorpio vibes
I love how innocent you are, but also how much you love violence. You always look so delighted.
😂😂😂
Gogo and the Bride both were knocked out with a shot to the temple. But only one person survived the head injury.
the fountains of blood when someone is killed with a sword harkens back to old samurai movies.
There was one old black and white samurai movie that kind of started it. There was a scene where a samurai is supposed to kill a guy with his sword, a little blood comes out, and the victim falls over dead. The prop guy didn't do the fake blood squib right though. When the actor "died", a huge fountain of blood erupted, like a ridiculous amount. The director left it in; probably because they didn't have the time and money to reset and do another take.
Anyways, it looked kind of cool, especially in black and white. It looked cool enough that other directors of other samurai movies started to do it. Eventually it became kind of its own trope, and you see it today in a lot of anime. Tarantino uses it here as a sort of homage to those older films. In fact, almost everything in Kill Bill (and a lot of his other movies) are call backs to old films.

This is just a stunning piece of filmmaking. It's absurd, and over the top, but with sets and shots which are amazingly beautiful. That final fight on the roof in the snow is as close to perfection as anything I've ever seen in a film. You can truly feel how formidable O-Ren is as an opponent. It's almost like watching a live-action version of a triple-A anime fight scene.
I'm an older guy. Loved Tarantino's films when they came out. Always wondered why I loved them so, until I saw Bill Vol.1. Saw that Shaw Bros. (legendary studio producing Hong Kong "Kung Fu" films) logo in the opening sequence. "Oh! We grew up watching the same stuff on Saturday afternoons!!" There weren't many 'informercials' back then - TV stations would show films like that because the broadcast rights payments were cheap.
"Hanzo" is Sonny Chiba, classic-era Japanese martial arts star. "O-ren" is Lucy Liu, famous female martial arts film performer. "The Bride's" yellow track suit in the fight at O-ren's place is a tribute to Bruce Lee (In "Game of Death" he fought his real-life student NBA star Kareem Abdul Jabbar!) - it's iconic to those of us that love this stuff.
Anime is frequently quite bloody. The Japanese seem to understand that "..cartoons aren't just for kids..".
The little tune with the synth is from the '70s TV show "Ironside". IIRC, it was Raymond Burr's ("Perry Mason") last major role. Played an ex-Police Chief who'd been shot and was in a wheelchair. Called back to work at the PD because he was so brilliant.
One of the all time great cliffhangers!!
14:50 I'm LOL'ing when I think about the fight at the Blue Leaves she has yet to deal with
I'm truly convinced that the final fight here was a major influence on the fight we see in The Mandalorian, season 2 episode 5, The Jedi. That was when we met Ahsoka Tano and she fights the Magistrate, Morgan Elsbeth. The Magistrate's compound has an Asian setting and we see it mirror what we saw here.
12:12I never noticed it before, but there's a fresh drip going on under the truck lol!
Oren Ishii: "A little off the top please."
24:14: "It's not really fair that she's had to fight however many people, she's going to be exhausted and you're not. This isn't a fair fight."
Yep. That's the whole point of Mooks. Pad out the Hero's number so they feel like they're accomplishing something, and exhaust them so the Evil Overlord has an easier time dispatching the Hero once all the Mooks are dead and it comes down to them.
Be careful, Addie. Your crazy meter looks like it is getting ready to pass that of the Mirandalorian.
I've always put Jackie Brown into the "best Tarantino movie" category. A motif that Tarantino is known for, is his PHENOMENAL music knowledge, so he picks the PERFECT song for the scene.
The soundtrack is epic
Uma Thurman almost died filming the fight with Gogo. there are like NO safety measures in place when she's being strangled...
If I’d thought ahead before watching this, I might’ve suggested a drinking game based on how many times Addie says *”so much blood!”*
😂
Oh you’d definitely black out 😂
😵 😅
Volume 2 really changes the pace. It's a good companion film. There were rumors for years that his final film would be Kill Bill 3, which I would be more than happy with, but as of now that doesn't seem likely.
My two favorite Tarantino movies too.
Perfect from start to finish.
That song from Nancy Sinatra in the beginning, gives me chills EVERYTIME!
If you liked this one you'll LOVE the next one. The flavor is of course similar but distinctly different... And the stuff you'll see......... WOW! .... I hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying your reactions Addie. Take care.
There have been documented incidents where people have shot or impaled in the head and survived. And some that had little or no negative side effect on them.
I’m liking and commenting before I watch this because this is probably my favorite movie of all time. And you are the last of my favorite reactors to watch it. So, I’m nervous. plus not sure this is really your type of movie. Anyway I love your reactions just wanted to get all that off my chest.
Yes probably Tarantino at his most bloody and self indulgent, he's just having a ton of fun and revliving the 70s schlock he loved seeing growing up
"Revliving"! I want to believe that that was an intentional spelling! Because he's both reliving the storytelling of Japanese martial arts films from his younger years, *and* reviving it! 🤣
Your reactions rock Addie, especially the hospital scene😂
Thinking a Tarantino joint 'picks up where it leaves off.' Priceless.
fun fact... Most people who are looking for a movie reaction wants 40 mins or above.
20 mins of Kill Bill 1? Buying a sword takes 20 mins.
I Love these movies. One of Tarantino's Best, in my opinion. Great Post. I can't wait for VOL 2.
Tarantino edited the House of Blue Leaves fight in black and white as not to get an NC-17 rating in the States. The Japanese version of the film is in full color. You can find that one on UA-cam.
Btw on our protagonists plane ticket you can see her name early
Also I think this IS one of the bloodiest movies period. By the gallon.
His homage to the epic martial arts era films . Bill was played by David Carradine of the Kung Fu TV series. The swordmaker was played by legendary Japanese actor Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba. His name in the film was the name of a renowned real ninja.
Sonny Chiba also played Hattori Hanzo in multiple TV shows prior to his role in Kill Bill. That’s why Tarantino hired him for this role.
@@Parallax-3D Tarantino loved him as Terry Tsurugi in the infamous Streetfighter film series. He had a blurb on the case when it was finally released on video.
"I will say, this has definitely been my favorite Tarantino movie -- by far." I agree. This pair of films is the one work of Tarantino's I recommend to all but the most squeamish. It's like 300 (2008) in that way: it's worth looking past the violence and experiencing the pure style.
I'd say that you're right, as far as I recall, this is his bloodiest movie. But it is also in my humble opinion among his best works: very artistic, true to the source material and a well-composed two-parter (as you saw with the cliffhanger). Part II will be very rewarding, I can tell you that.
The Asian version of KB did not censor the Crazy 88 fight. It was in color and more bloodier.
Having seen both, I prefer the black and white version. It's stylish as fuck.
@@aerthreepwood8021 I agree but the editing is better in the other version, because they didn't have to cut around bits to get the rating.
I love these movies!
Got a 24x36 poster for Vol.1 in the ManCave.
I consider this movie to be a threat to my own well-being.
"You took on 3 guys at once" Yea... about that.
As soon as she said that, Budd & Bill's convo from Vol. 2 played in my head :)
You’ve had a Headstart on information about this movie Easter eggs by now but here’s few quickies:
The song while on the motorcycle was in the series “The Green Hornet”. It ran about the same time as the 1960’s Batman and Robin. It starred Bruce Lee.
The yellow outfit in the fight scene was made famous by Bruce Lee.
Bill, who you’ll meet later, the actor was trained by Bruce Lee(you see the pattern, right?)
The movies were an homage to 60’s and 70’s martial arts movies.
Watch “The Last Dragon” and another homage movie to Bruce Lee.
You might enjoy it.
You forgot that all of the Crazy 88 are wearing “Kato” masks. Kato was the Green Hornet’s sidekick and chauffeur, played by Bruce Lee.
"YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE HER!"
From...a coma..? After being shot?
In the Japanese version it stays in color, American version had to change to monochrome (too much red blood) to get the R rating.
@22:14 - “Now she has TWO knives!” 😜
☝️Jojo Rabbit reference
22:44
In the extended edition, you find out that this is like the fourth chance during just this fight she has had to kill him and kept letting him go, which is why she loses her temper and spanks his ass.
As someone who isn’t really a Tarantino fan or fan of blood, or anime or blood or sword fighting, this is oddly enough one of my favorite films (add in v2 as well) of all time. I love the storyline, the transitions, the use od color, the action, the actors and how satisfying it is to see her get her revenge.
The most excited I've ever seen u reacting to a movie 😂😂
Most stylish movie ever made! Goosebumps all the time. The soundtrack is just perfect. Also loved your mindblown face multiple times. 😇 Buckle up for Part 2!
The name on the cereal box containing the gun is "KABOOM". Ha Ha Ha The "Pussy Wagon" actually belongs to Quentin Tarantino.
For some reason the expression on The Bride’s face when O-Ren apologizes to her gets me every time.
I think O-Ren never wanted to be involved in harming the Bride as they were really good friends
@23:46 this movie watching thing has changed you Addie. and we're here for it!
Your reaction was perfect and very entertaining! A credit at the end of Kill Bill states: “Based on the character of 'The Bride' created by Q & U.” Quentin and Uma dreamed up the character during the making of "Pulp Fiction."
her little dance brought me great joy
See this is how you do a strong female character!!!
' Is this one of his bloodiest movies.?.'
Not Yet.......
Honestly I am in love with Uma since 90's when I was a teenager. This is my fav Uma movies
16:04 "Ok, I kind of love her..."
My sentiments exactly. She's terrifying, but she's freaking fantastic.
18:32
Kill Bill is my favorite Tarantino Movie...Uma Rocks
How have I been watching for so long without noticing Addie's tattoo!?!?
🦋
@@M.H.I.A.F.T. She's had that butterfly tattoo ever since she watched Halloween (1978).
You should see what she has pierced
This movie is just a masterpiece of storytelling.
And blood.
Lots of blood.
Vol 2. Was very good as well. Looking forward to the reaction!
Such a brilliant movie! This and part 2 are just pure film mastery!
21:10 the way he avoided getting an X rating instead of just an R is this fight scene. Done in Black and White there was no "blood".
Bloodshot was able to have one scene of R-rated-style violence and get a PG-13 by making the entire scene red.
My favorite movie of all time!!!
One of the best films ever made, and it’s all badass women. This is why DEI makes shit movies, the first goal should be to make a great movie. If men had a prejudice against female casts, this wouldn’t be top 5 movies for so many guys.
5:10, did you get a look at the name of the cereal? Kaboom.
It's time for some Kill Bill. I plan on watching both Kill Bill movies as a double feature when you upload Vol. 2. See you soon for that movie.
And to think.. o-ren is played by Lucy Lu
Great reaction Addie, looking forward to seeing Vol 2. Have a great day, cheers.
"Wow, she took on 3 guys at once." 5 minutes later...
Back during the 70's "Splatter Films", they would reuse the same Actors and Characters from movie to movie to tie them together.
Such is the case for the Tarantino films. Michael Parks played Esteban and the Chief in this Movie, then he and his Son James reprised their roles as the Chief and Deputy in the Grind house's "Death Proof" and "Planet of Terror".
It's also rumored that Samuel L. Jackson's "Piano Player" was what happened to"Jules Winnefeld" after he quit being an assassin in "Pulp Fiction".
One of the things I loved the most about these 2 movies. They came out in the theater only 6 months apart. People were still hyped over the first one when the second came out. I don’t recall scheduling like that ever before these movies.
The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions did it first. Reloaded was released in May 2003 and Revolutions was released in November 2003 (Kill Bill Vol. 1 came out in October 2003 and Vol. 2 came out in April 2004).
The ginger rage emerges.
The second movie is even better. But the stuff in Japan is iconic, it had a huge cultural impact.
