"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.
Ok, I had to go check the movie again to see her name on the tickets. It is there! But is her real name though?!! 🤔🤔 but I think it's interesting that we hear Bill call her kiddo if I'm not mistaken And now I have to go in search of behind the scene material! xD thanks a lot for the facts :p
Thanks a lot! 😉 volume 2 will be up in 2 weeks. At least it's what we have planned! xD next week we will record and upload our reaction to The Shawshank Redemption
In the big fight, it went black and white when she plucked out an enemy's eye - and back to color after lots of blood was spilled. Neat effect, and avoided an NC-17 rating.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid yep...I suspect it was due to the great quantities of it during that scene, not just about the color. Note that "all audience" trailers cannot show red blood, but if they CGI it to be black, blood can be in such trailers, because they think small children won't realize it is blood if it isn't red. Apparently in Japan the censors didn't have a problem with it so they kept the red for that section of the movie for the showings over there.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Yep Tarantino used water in the black and white scene where shes chopping all their legs off. But it's impossible to tell since it's black and white hehe
11:40 What she is seeing is that all of her callouses from years of martial arts training are gone, that takes quite a bit of time, up to several months depending on thickness.
I'm pretty sure he wanted it to be one movie. But it was just too long.... That's why it's volume one and two and not part one and two. It's not a sequel, it's a continuation of the same thing
@@robertcampomizzi7988 when I checked to see the movie I noticed there is a version of the complete movie (Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair) which is 4h07m long! But we ultimately decided to react to the broken up in 2 movies version
It's all one movie. If not, why is part 1 called Kill Bill? She kills a whole load of people but not Bill. It was only split into two AFTER filming everything (well I think they added bits after the shoot). It was written and filmed as one movie. They just ended up with too much material and the shortest edit to make it make sense would have been 3 hours long. So, they decided to keep all the scenes and release as two PARTS. Tarantino has explained all this many times It also provided a great chance to add a huge cliffhanger
It could work as one movie but it would be a bit to long yeah, even though it seems that version exists! (Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - 4h07) but this way it ends with this amazing cliffhanger for sure!!
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Kill Bill:The Whole Bloody Affair was a version as the whole movie, without the Black and White and without the reveal about the daughter half way through.
With all the blood, using anime and black and white allowed the movie to be shown in more countries so they could make more money from a bigger audience. My understanding, Europe for example each country has it's own censorship rules on how much violence is allowed and this let them bypass most of them.
The reason the fight scene between the Bride (Uma Thurman) and the Crazy 88’s was filmed in black and white was to avoid an NC-17 or X rating because of all the blood. When I first saw the movie I assumed it was a directorial choice to represent her being “in the zone.” You know, like when an artist or athlete is hyper focused and shutting out all outside distractions or stimuli.
The sounds and songs you recognize in this film this was the first time they were used... they are not referencing anything else... others reference this...
The reason why a lot of this movie is unrealistic is because it’s giving a nod to classic kung fu movies. A lot of old Japanese movies had these unrealistic fighting capabilities.
@@stevey5151 I'm becoming aware that there might be a bunch of very over the top violent and gory asian movies that we had no idea of! That is definitely a rabbit hole we need to fall into 😂 (including Anime of course)
At the very start, she said "Bill, it's your bab" and he shot her. So - she was pregnant with Bill's baby: the guy she was marrying was NOT the father, Bill was, but he'd pulled the trigger before the words registered. It might have shocked him enough that he twitched a little, just enough to not deliver a killing shot...he didn't kill her, and she was pregnant with his baby! So...who knows what might have happened to the baby? Clearly Bill knows, so he probably had something to do with the baby still being alive.
If you like action/ fight scenes, you’ll be sad if you never watch these; Here’s some great violence for ya. 1: “The Killer” by John Woo 2: “13 Assassins” by Takashi Miike 3: “Blade Of The Immortal” (Also Directed by Miike, Imma huge fan obviously) Blade has one the craziest opening scenes, ever. It’s based a a hugely popular Magna / Anime and it’s extremely well choreographed and filmed. almost nonstop action “13” is a slow burn then the last half is nuts. QT, approved. And have you seen “Sukiyaki Western Django”? QT, is in that and it’s fantastic.
I have a Quinton Tarintino movie you may not have seen, it’s called Four Room. Technically only part of it is directed by Quentin Tarantino. There’s four rooms for different directors. can’t remember all the directors. I know Robert Rodriguez directions one room as well.
There is a reason everything is so unrealistic. This is part of Tarantino's Movie Movies universe, which the people in his regular universe (the Realer Than Real universe) watch.
I'm french and yeah we get used to our language in movies, but I will say that since I learned english I don't really enjoy watching english movies in french
Yeah, that makes sense. I grew up in Switzerland before I came to Portugal and every movie I saw was in french! But after that I got used to see movies in the original linguage and don't like dubbed movies anymore
Naw - the number 2 was because this was the 2nd target on the Bride's death list. Chapter 1 showed the fate of the 2nd target, which happened after she eliminated her 1st target, which is shown later in the movie. Tarantino's love of jumping back and forth in time to tell his stories.
@@ernesthakey3396 that doesn’t make sense. She was killed in Chapter 1-1. According to your logic she would have to have been her own first target. No it’s just subchapter designations.

Reaction was okay, actually. You may not have understood which sequences were important, but it WAS your first time watching, so how could you know, right?
Well, I understand why you would think that. However, it happens that we see a LOT of movies, so it does get easier to predict what’s gonna happen. Also, we’re smart people. That helps 😂 We couldn’t be more authentic about our work here, and our subscribers know that.
I would say she guesses things correctly around 75 to 80% of the time, sometimes its annoying 😂 but I thing it would be dishonest if I would only edit in the times she doesn't get things right!
Not a fan of your editing, key scenes are cut out, you react to scenes that you don't show. Your reactions to scenes that you do show are great. I know its a balance with editing, hopefully the editing skill improves.
That's like saying she's a human, not a redhead. Her mother is half German, half Swedish. Her father's name, Thurman, is an anglicized German name, so there's probably some German genes on her father's side too.
I dream of the day I see smart people reacting to good films... but all we get is stupid people reacting and talking about the stupidest most irrelevant shit
Well, that was the barest of bare bones edit of this movie that I've seen yet. You must've been inspired by all the swordplay, because you cut this movie into teency little bits. I would say most other YT edits of a reaction to this movie are on average 10-20 minutes longer than yours. I fully understand why you have to edit it, but why go so far overboard?

Hatori Hanzo was played by Sonny Chiba, who was a legend in Japanese martial arts movies in the 70’s & 80’s.
The "alarm" sound comes from an old cop tv show from the late 60's early 70's called IRONSIDE
