👍. Thanks for the reaction.. I was wondering if you have considered " Dreamscape " for a Halloween movie reaction..you'd be the first to do it if im not mistaken..I haven't seen it done yet.
An unusual request: you should check out an episode of the TV series "CSI" entitled "Grave Danger." It came out in 2005, and it was directed by Tarantino. (Take a wild guess--- what the title means... :D)
Early line of the first and second movie, The Bride: "Bill, it's your baby." BANG! Start of second movie, Dawn Marie: "What if Bill's the baby's dad?" Love ya, Dawn!
Gordon Lu plays the best role of Pai Mei ..in the older 70's and 80's movies he played the role of a young Shaolin monk who fought Pai Mei.. he finally played the role of Pai Mei
Uma Thurman actually was injured in this film while driving the car. Bill playing the flute is straight from the 1972 TV series Kung-Fu where David Caradine played Caine. FYI - He can actually play the flute.
26:51 at the end of the first movie, and the beginning of this movie, in the flashback part, right before Bill shoots the bride in the head, she says "Bill, it's your bab...." BANG. That's them explaining that Bill is the dad.
Lol yes it explains it. The first line Beatrix says in Kill Bill Vol 1, less than 5 min into the movie is, “Bill…it’s your baby…” and then he shoots her.
Bud had the shotgun shells filled with Rock Salt instead of Buck Shot (Steel Balls). Painful but not lethal. Pai Mei is played by Martial Arts Legend Gordon Liu. He also played the leader of the Crazy 88's, General Johnny Mo (Bald Head and Kato Mask). Another Actor who played 2 roles was Michael Parks who played the Texas Ranger with all the sunglasses in his Patrol Car in Part 1 and the Pimp Estaban in Part 2. When Beatrix tried to hit Pai Mei with a rock he threatened to chop off her arm. He lets her keep her arm but says that it belongs to him now. So during the fight between Beatrix and Elle, Pai Mei's arm snatched Elle's eye. I love Bill's Superman speech during the truth serum session.
Remember, The Bride (which is what she usually goes by in the credits) did tell Bill "It's your baby" just as he shot her. As for Pai Mei getting his revenge, don't forget his line "your arm belongs to me now." And she used that arm to pluck out Elle's other eye. And also to deliver the five point exploding heart technique on Bill. So in a way, he did get his revenge. Granted, I got that from a comment in another reaction video. I wouldn't have thought of it myself. Lots of people wish for a part 3, especially pointing out the kid Nikki who might want revenge. But the title is "Kill Bill," and Bill has been killed.
Yes, I love Pai Mei in this thing. That comment, which she later borrows more or less with the Crazy 88. But also the whole thing "No wonder you can't do it - you acquiesce to defeat even before you begin" is so much like Yoda's answer to Luke's "I don't believe it": "That is why you fail". Except Pai Mei definitely has some of the Dark Side in him - but hey, look what kind of people he is training.
Rock salt in a shotgun hurts like hell, but it's so light that it shouldn't go deep into the body and probably not kill you. But as always with guns, it still might.
You can think a person deserves revenge while also not wanting them to kill you(Budd). Knowing something is wrong doesn't mean you're not going to try to escape punishment for that wrong.
@@CastOffTheShoeFollowTheGourd Isn't that the entire point of the show YOU? That people will join the wrong side quite easily if we're shown the story from their side? John wick isn't exactly innocent either. We can be quite forgiving on characters if we are in their POV.
Dawn, you are a such a fun combination of speculative and confused at the same time. In the scene when Bill shoots Beatrix in the head, she says "Bill, it's your bab...BLAM!". I always felt Bill heard that and instinctively pulled his gun to the side as he shot, which is why Beatrix survived.
I don't think I've ever laughed harder than I was while anticipating "B" snatching "l's" eye ball out, and then stepping on it... Your reaction, Dawn, was hysterically funny, inc when you said with a straight face, "I didn't see THAT one coming."
Rock salt or not, the physics of been blasted back like that would have killed her. BTW, if she were shot with lead pellets she would have crumpled where she stood
@@brettmuir5679 - Rock salt wouldn't have blown her back like that... except in Hollywood where physics don't work like they do in the rest of the universe. A rock salt load is pretty low level damage... a bunch of shallow wounds with salt in them are painful as hell, but not lethal.
@@Mr.Ekshin 100% agree. The amount of gun powder or "Brass" in a rock salt load is enough to sting a crow or squirrel or a Tom Sawyer thieving watermelons :)
Rock salt is pulverized by the force of the blast. The wound would be more like a very bad burn with very little penetration if any. The force of the blast would not have had the effect depicted in the movie. The wadding would have hurt like hell though.
"The Bride was shot with Rock Salt. It's a shotgun round that has less gunpowder in it and the lead replaced with Salt. Less Lethal (especially against a leather jacket), but extremely painful, as the salt is deep inside the wounds it causes. And the salt feels like Acid! The "Brown Stuff" was the result of "Chewing Tobacco"... You put the tobacco between your Cheek and Gum where the Nicotine and Tar are absorbed. Iy causes alot of Salivation, which you spit out. Once you've absorbed all the Flavor out of the tobacco, you spit the tobacco out too.
The reason Bud's spit was brown--and that there was a large container of "brown stuff" that Beatrix threw on Elle--was chewing tobacco. It's one of the most revolting things ever.
9:22 bud is the most underrated yet smartest (and simplest) of the crew. He takes on a shat job to punish himself, lies about selling his sword, sets up the perfect trap to knock out kiddo, is the closest to actually killing kiddo, and yet his simple ask of money from the least trusted member of the kill squad is what does him in instead. Because she didn’t see him as worthy of killing kido
Fun fact: the actor that plays the Mexican pimp in this movie is the same actor that plays the El Paso sheriff. Michael Parks is an amazing character actor.
I believe that Tarantino originally planned on making both movies as one big movie, but he was pressured to make it into two instead. So it was never intended to be a movie franchise or anything.
The full cut exists. It’s called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Despite him saying he would, he’s never released it publicly, but he screens it once a year at his theater in LA (New Beverly Cinema). I haven’t seen it, but there aren’t many changes based on reviews. The Crazy 88 fight is in full color (like the Japanese version of the film, the full color fight is also on RUclips), and they removed the “does she know..” bit part with Sophie as his original intention was to shock audiences with the daughter’s reveal at the end of the film.
Some of the foreshadowing in Part I is subtle, but excellent. Yes, she does pluck out an eye against the crazy 88s....and she stands on someone's sward. One of the best is when she and Oren says "Trix are for kids" in unison...foreshadows here name. Then Bill calls her Kiddo at the wedding rehearsal.
35:18 "Who the hell is this? Who picked her up?" Dawn? Are you... okay? Did you hit your head this morning, perhaps? Or dropped some bad drugs? I worry about you sometimes.
When you hunt with a shotgun, you don't want the animal to explode. So you can load a shotgun with a variety of rounds. Rock salt is literally that salt. It mostly just burns. Bird shot is small pellets. It is used to kill birds. Buck shot will bring down a deer. Bud shot Bea with rock salt. He wanted to incapacitate her, not kill her.
When Budd said that she deserved revenge that didn't mean that he intended to just let her kill him. These people all know that they're bad but they have a kind of warrior code, which means that if they get what's coming to them then they're going to die fighting like a warrior. Except Elle who if it wasn't for Bill's intervention would have poisoned Beatrix while she was lying defenseless in a coma.
@@bluebird3281 Good point. It's her dishonorable nature which somehow makes her seem nastier than the other members of The Deadly Viper Squad and possibly why her fate was left to second to last, just before Bill himself. It's somehow fitting that she died in the pitiful state she was left in.
Not too long after this movie came out David Carradine (Bill) was found dead in a hotel room in Thailand, so your idea of bringing Bill back for a sequel would probably not work very well.
Chia-Hui Liu portrayed John Mo, the leader of the Crazy 88 in KB1 and Pai Mei in KB2. Michael Parks portrayed Sheriff McGraw in KB1 and Esteban Vihaio in KB2. Pretty cool. The Kill Bill films are just insanely good. Perfection. Really glad I got to watch them through your eyes!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
David Carradine - the "original" Kung Fu, as well as over 200 major and minor film roles, it was the 1970's Kung Fu tv series, playing Kwai Chang Caine, a peace-loving Shaolin monk traveling through the American Old West - that made him known to everybody of a certain age. Him being "Bill" just makes perfect sense.
The first half of Volume 2 is definitely the best section of the entire Kill Bill mess. I don't like the last acts of either movie. I don't even watch it anymore past the anime part of the first one, or the Daryl Hannah/Uma fight in the second. I think the best scene in either movies is one no one ever talks about: when Michael Madsen gets chewed out by his boss! 🤣
@@TTM9691 I know Tarantino made a lot of changes when he learned the Bride's baby could still live after Bill shot her. It really stressed him out creatively from what I understand.
Her name Beatrix Kiddo is a play on a commercial. Years ago there was a children's breakfast cereal called "Trix" and the catchphrase was "Trix are for kids".
Not quite - The name Beatrix is an reference to Beatrix Potter the author of The Tales of Peter Rabbit. Of course, in the Trix commercial the rabbit is the one trying to steal the cereal from kids.
Wakey wakey eggs and 🥓 y had becone od my favorite movie lines of all. LOVED Madson, played his role as Bud, Bill's brother so great. His line delivery was so cool 💯💯
Howdy from Texas. You made my day with your reaction to Bee swishing the eyeball with her bare feet. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to go back into cardiac arrest. 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
Always enjoy your reactions, but this one may be my favorite. Eating the rice bowl and the "I didn't see that coming - neither did she," had me 🤣🤣 Great one.
From here on out, it's smooth sailing: * Death Proof (either as the short Grindhouse version with the commercials and the film Planet Terror made by Robert Rodriguez, or as standalone full-length movie) * Inglorious Basterds * Django Unchained * The Hateful Eight * Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Each and every one of them is a really good movie, exemplary for the genre represented.
By the time she went to Budd's place, she had already taken out O-Ren and her army of body guards in Volumn 1 so she had already rec9vered her strength and abili to get out of the coffin..
Excellent reaction. Love your thoughts, energy, and enthusiasm.. Tarantino is powerful in storytelling and direction. His power really leads a viewer into love or hate. There cannot be a middle ground of a so so reaction. It’s basic and raw… hard to properly show but he does . One reason you may enjoy a Tarantino movie is that each is his Valentine to a genre of film style he loves and enjoys. His films are his visual love affair with movies. He broadly does not act pretentious with saying he only admires the acceptable classics. He loved B movie crime stories,martial arts thrillers, tough guy Westerns, and the stories where the men and women were tough and had a code they loved by. After having the pleasure watching you the past few years , the films he enjoys also seem to mirror your favorites. No wonder you like his movies. No apologies for what you like and not afraid to enjoy a story no matter the public opinion of group think.
Love Shogun Assassin. The lone wolf and cub aka Baby kart films that it was edited from are fantastic and well worth your time if you haven't seen them
There's probably more influence from Lady Snowblood (plus some music straight lifted from it), but the Baby Cart films are great. Even Shogun Assassin is a pretty good edit from the first two Cart films, mainly from the 2nd one.
How long would you last in a buried coffin? Mythbusters did an episode on that, by burying Jamie. The pressure builds up very quickly even before the grave is all filled in. Jamie got so uncomfortable in just a couple of minutes he had to call for the emergency extraction. But this is a movie - so we suspend disbelief.
Speaking of suspended disbelief, I don't believe in zombies but if I was working the late shift at the dinner and a dirt covered lady trailing dust was walking calmly across the street from the cemetery at me, I would have run to lock the doors and made a cross out of butterknives.
The seating thing at the wedding was very much how my actual wedding was. My wife is from a huge Catholic family where everyone comes to all of the family weddings, and it was there in their home state where they all lived. So they had like 50+ people coming. My family was from several hours' drive away and isn't necessarily all about all of the branches of cousins and nieces and nephews coming to everyone's weddings, so I think we had like 4 people from my family. But we were seniors in college, so we had a lot of our college friends coming, so we just had them fill out the rest of the "my side", and it all was about even.
9:31 - "How the hell did she survive that?" - She survived because as he said, the shells were loaded with rock salt, not buckshot/metal pellets. Rock salt is basically chunks of salt the size of the decorative gravel in fish tanks. It's used for melting ice on roads and sidewalks.
It’s funny how she doesn’t remember from the first one that she was trying to tell Bill before he shot her in the head that the baby was his because she kept trying to speculate what Beatrix’s relationship with Bill was when I felt like it was very obvious lol it’s also funny that Bill kept referring to himself as Daddy when he was talking to their daughter and she still didn’t pick up on it 😂
My favorite piece of trivia about these two movies that I just saw pointed out recently (that i somehow never realized) is that in the first movie, she kills dozens of people. In the second one, she only kills Bill.
Watched this earlier in the year with my folks, I could remember them watching it before years and years ago, but this was a first time for me. Naturally we ended up doing both volumes in one sitting👍👍Both movies are absolutely top-tier, though I thought *Volume 1* was just a little bit better.
Death Proof is worth watching. I think it's his most underrated movie. It's a horror movie featuring the stunt woman who did the stunts for Uma Thurman in KB1. She plays herself and does her own stunts, which are insane in the movie (no CGI, real stunts). It is Tarantino's ode to stunt actors (although Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is also). It's an epic thriller/horror.
"Four Rooms" is a good one. It's actually a movie about a Hotel & the stories of each of the four rooms are directed by different directors. Quentin Tarantino directs & stars in the last one, but the stories of the other three are also very fun & entertaining as well.😊
"I wonder if Bill is the babies dad?" lmao So you figured out the baby was alive but you couldn't figure out Bill was the father when BOTH movies open with Beatrix saying "Bill, it's your baby" as she gets shot in the head lol
There was talk of a Vol 3 at one point. With Maya Hawk (Uma's Daughter) playing B.B. Niki being played by Zendaya. Nikki being trained by the blind California Mountain Snake. I remember her snake but not her name for some reason. Gogo's twin sister, of course played by the same actress also after The Bride for revenge. But Tarantino decided not to do it.
Tarantino has directed a handful of T.V. episodes and short films, and he has directed 9 or 10 full-length films depending on if you count both Kill Bill films as one work or two. He has previously said he would only ever direct 10 films, but since he himself counts Kill Bill as just one, he may very well have one more "left in the tank." Here's the list: 1. Reservoir Dogs (1992) 2. Pulp Fiction (1994) 3. Jackie Brown (1997) 4. Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004) 5. Death Proof (2007) 6. Inglorious Bastards (2009) 7. Django Unchained (2012) 8. The Hateful Eight (2015) 9. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
You could include the one he wrote but didn't direct in the list, but not as one of his 10 directorial movies. From Dusk Till Dawn, in which he also stars. In a lot of ways, still a Tarantino movie, plenty of violence and lots of feet shots - Also well worth the watch
I'm glad that you liked this one Dawn Marie! I personally think this one's got a better chance of being Best Movie Ever because Part One was strong in the stylistic department. It makes all the Pai Mei backstory better, for example, and the bookends with Budd and Bill better too.
Gordon Liu and (the sadly late) Sonny Chiba are two of the Kung Fu film icons from Tarantino's developmental years. The fact that he got both of them to appear in his films is just too cool for words.
The two volumes were originally meant to be released as one movie but Hollywood bigwigs thought it was too long so Tarantino split it into two parts. Great reaction as always.
You can see her name in the first movie when she takes the flight to Japan and her passport is shown 😁 It's still easy to miss or get like oh her name should be there. Just a funny detail. The movie is supposed to actually be 1 long movie, but it's propably one request I know Quentin never got thru 🤔 and it was chopped in two for the lenght. It in a sense works very well, but kinda does it dirty since you are supposed to feel the style change in between (the next movie Death Proof does that in a shorter time because this one was cut in two). Like the first is more so traditional spy/action/kung fu when the second takes a heavy western influence to it. When I watched it first time as a teen, it was just when the second came for rent so it was back to back the whole thing and it works very well as one movie. Because the first is fast paced mayhem and then in the second it slows down to the details of the plot while still having good action sequences. The pacing is very good while watching the whole thing, to some the first as alone feels like too much blood and all that without giving a lot of plot. Kill Bill is kinda an odd blend of QT's old style mixed with the newer when you watch it now later on after Inglorious, Django, Hatefull 8 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Kill Bill is very.. kinda like in the middle of metamorphosis movie of QT. The next is even way more so kinda one that is an odd one out and I really do suggest to also watch Robert Rodriquez Planet Terror, since Death Proof and that are supposed to be like a double feature which when it came was shown in some theaters back to back with fake trailers that various directors made in between. Like the two movies were made to be, Planet Terror first and then Death Proof. So Death Proof is part of a whole bigger concept where Robert and Quentin made exploitation genre'd movies that are like twin movies to each other. There is used some same actors and actually one same set in both movies. As much as I love Tarantino I actually think Planet Terror is even more fun watch and play of the genre. I do suggest to anyway watch also At Very Least Desperado (QT makes a cameo in it) and Sin City (QT directed one scene of it for a 1 dollar since Robert did some music for Kill Bill for the same 😂) from Robert Rodriguez. Those are his best ones (Desperado is part of a trilogy but you don't need to see the El Mariachi which is made with like a budget of 1000 dollars. It's good for it's budget which is why he got to do Desperado with an actual budget with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in the leads). He's the guy who directed From Dusk Till Dawn so he is a very good friend with QT and their artistic paths are tied. Even tho Robert really seemed to stop taking films so seriously and do kids films like Spy Kids and other ones. Have not really done anything adult orientated after the sequel that was post-poned for like a decade to Sin City. Then he again went into other things. Still a really good director with some Bangers on his belt.
In Tarantino's universe, if the characters from Pulp Fiction went to see a movie, this is what they'd see. The star is Mia Wallace, the premise is adapted from Fox Force Five, and we even see Jules in his new career as an actor after leaving the gang life.
So sorry for the delay with this one! We had some ad suitability problems but all good now! Hope you enjoy 👁
No worries. I'm sure we all know and understand that these things happen.

@mmanthey1007 id agree but I really don't like the ending. Bill's half hour monologuing was peak Quentinsturbation and ground the film to the a halt

Kill Bill Vol 2: "Bill, it's your bab..."
"What if Bill's the baby's dad?"

Thank you! Great reaction but that was really frustrating heh.
"Bill, it's your baby that grew into me many years ago because you are my father."

Rock salt in a shotgun shell is a non-lethal way of delivering a hard punch to the gut without killing someone . . .

The Crazy 88 fight is in full color (like the Japanese version of the film, the full color fight is also on RUclips), and they removed the “does she know..” bit part with Sophie as his original intention was to shock audiences with the daughter’s reveal at the end of the film.
Some of the foreshadowing in Part I is subtle, but excellent. Yes, she does pluck out an eye against the crazy 88s....and she stands on someone's sward.
One of the best is when she and Oren says "Trix are for kids" in unison...foreshadows here name. Then Bill calls her Kiddo at the wedding rehearsal.
Bill's line about Superman is my favorite.
David Caradine played Bill. He played kwia Chang Caine in the 70s TV show Kung Fu. It was one of my favorite shows when I was. Kid.
35:18 "Who the hell is this? Who picked her up?"
Dawn? Are you... okay? Did you hit your head this morning, perhaps? Or dropped some bad drugs? I worry about you sometimes.
We only have parking valets in the very poshest hotels in the big cities, not something that we are used to seeing in the UK
When you hunt with a shotgun, you don't want the animal to explode. So you can load a shotgun with a variety of rounds. Rock salt is literally that salt. It mostly just burns. Bird shot is small pellets. It is used to kill birds. Buck shot will bring down a deer.
Bud shot Bea with rock salt. He wanted to incapacitate her, not kill her.
When Budd said that she deserved revenge that didn't mean that he intended to just let her kill him. These people all know that they're bad but they have a kind of warrior code, which means that if they get what's coming to them then they're going to die fighting like a warrior.
Except Elle who if it wasn't for Bill's intervention would have poisoned Beatrix while she was lying defenseless in a coma.
And calls Bud the bushwhacker. Not to mention poisoning an old man that trusted her and was training her.
@@bluebird3281 Good point. It's her dishonorable nature which somehow makes her seem nastier than the other members of The Deadly Viper Squad and possibly why her fate was left to second to last, just before Bill himself.
It's somehow fitting that she died in the pitiful state she was left in.
Did Dawn actually watch these films? The amount of stuff she missed was ridiculous. Too much playing to the audience.
Pai Mei is the one thing in this movie that brings the quality up to the highest..eagle powers baby😀
😉🙏
Not too long after this movie came out David Carradine (Bill) was found dead in a hotel room in Thailand, so your idea of bringing Bill back for a sequel would probably not work very well.
Wasn't exactly it was 5 years after this came out so if they went with a seqeal he could have been in it.
Chia-Hui Liu portrayed John Mo, the leader of the Crazy 88 in KB1 and Pai Mei in KB2.
Michael Parks portrayed Sheriff McGraw in KB1 and Esteban Vihaio in KB2.
Pretty cool.
The Kill Bill films are just insanely good. Perfection.
Really glad I got to watch them through your eyes!!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
David Carradine - the "original" Kung Fu, as well as over 200 major and minor film roles, it was the 1970's Kung Fu tv series, playing Kwai Chang Caine, a peace-loving Shaolin monk traveling through the American Old West - that made him known to everybody of a certain age. Him being "Bill" just makes perfect sense.
Being a certified comic book nerd, and proud of it. You'll always find me appreciating Tarantino's references on the subject😁
For me, this one's better than the first. It's more character and dialogue driven, which is more in line with Tarantino's style.
Pai mei is legendary!
The first half of Volume 2 is definitely the best section of the entire Kill Bill mess. I don't like the last acts of either movie. I don't even watch it anymore past the anime part of the first one, or the Daryl Hannah/Uma fight in the second. I think the best scene in either movies is one no one ever talks about: when Michael Madsen gets chewed out by his boss! 🤣
@@TTM9691 I know Tarantino made a lot of changes when he learned the Bride's baby could still live after Bill shot her. It really stressed him out creatively from what I understand.
Her name Beatrix Kiddo is a play on a commercial. Years ago there was a children's breakfast cereal called "Trix" and the catchphrase was "Trix are for kids".
Not quite - The name Beatrix is an reference to Beatrix Potter the author of The Tales of Peter Rabbit. Of course, in the Trix commercial the rabbit is the one trying to steal the cereal from kids.
I love your reactions and your smart sense of humor! Plus, when you talk, sometimes I hear Craig Ferguson 😂😂☠️☠️
Wakey wakey eggs and 🥓 y had becone od my favorite movie lines of all. LOVED Madson, played his role as Bud, Bill's brother so great. His line delivery was so cool 💯💯
Best reaction to the eye squishing scene I've seen! 😂😂😂
Howdy from Texas.
You made my day with your reaction to Bee swishing the eyeball with her bare feet. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to go back into cardiac arrest. 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
Always enjoy your reactions, but this one may be my favorite.
Eating the rice bowl and the "I didn't see that coming - neither did she," had me 🤣🤣
Great one.
From here on out, it's smooth sailing:
* Death Proof (either as the short Grindhouse version with the commercials and the film Planet Terror made by Robert Rodriguez, or as standalone full-length movie)
* Inglorious Basterds
* Django Unchained
* The Hateful Eight
* Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Each and every one of them is a really good movie, exemplary for the genre represented.
By the time she went to Budd's place, she had already taken out O-Ren and her army of body guards in Volumn 1 so she had already rec9vered her strength and abili to get out of the coffin..
"But Kill Bill's the Black Mamba."
That's why Elle used that particular snake. Bill would believe Beatrix killed Budd that way.
Yes, that is what I thought as well. No way Bill would have let her live unless he thought Mamba = mamba.
Excellent reaction. Love your thoughts, energy, and enthusiasm.. Tarantino is powerful in storytelling and direction. His power really leads a viewer into love or hate. There cannot be a middle ground of a so so reaction. It’s basic and raw… hard to properly show but he does .
One reason you may enjoy a Tarantino movie is that each is his Valentine to a genre of film style he loves and enjoys. His films are his visual love affair with movies. He broadly does not act pretentious with saying he only admires the acceptable classics. He loved B movie crime stories,martial arts thrillers, tough guy Westerns, and the stories where the men and women were tough and had a code they loved by. After having the pleasure watching you the past few years , the films he enjoys also seem to mirror your favorites. No wonder you like his movies. No apologies for what you like and not afraid to enjoy a story no matter the public opinion of group think.
Now check out Shogun Assassin - the 1980 flick that THIS one imitates (with the elaborate violence and dismemberment).
Love Shogun Assassin.
The lone wolf and cub aka Baby kart films that it was edited from are fantastic and well worth your time if you haven't seen them
There's probably more influence from Lady Snowblood (plus some music straight lifted from it), but the Baby Cart films are great. Even Shogun Assassin is a pretty good edit from the first two Cart films, mainly from the 2nd one.
I could deal with the eye snatch but when she stepped on the eye that was too much! 😂😂😂
The best thing I love about the movies you portray and promote Dawn,is your infectious laughter! 😅🤣😂🔥⚖️
Pai Mei for best beard and eye brows ever !
AND best beard flip as well!
She tells Bill who the father is in the first move 😂
I liked the throwback to the opening credits of the first movie. "Bang, Bang. Her baby shot her down".
The first movie had the eye pluck during the black and white fight scene with the crazy 88s near the end of the film.
How long would you last in a buried coffin? Mythbusters did an episode on that, by burying Jamie. The pressure builds up very quickly even before the grave is all filled in. Jamie got so uncomfortable in just a couple of minutes he had to call for the emergency extraction. But this is a movie - so we suspend disbelief.
Speaking of suspended disbelief, I don't believe in zombies but if I was working the late shift at the dinner and a dirt covered lady trailing dust was walking calmly across the street from the cemetery at me, I would have run to lock the doors and made a cross out of butterknives.
@@bluebird3281 Absolutely. But... who knows? Maybe it happens all the the time! Maybe they're just thinking, well, here comes another stiff.
The seating thing at the wedding was very much how my actual wedding was. My wife is from a huge Catholic family where everyone comes to all of the family weddings, and it was there in their home state where they all lived. So they had like 50+ people coming.
My family was from several hours' drive away and isn't necessarily all about all of the branches of cousins and nieces and nephews coming to everyone's weddings, so I think we had like 4 people from my family. But we were seniors in college, so we had a lot of our college friends coming, so we just had them fill out the rest of the "my side", and it all was about even.
9:31 - "How the hell did she survive that?" - She survived because as he said, the shells were loaded with rock salt, not buckshot/metal pellets. Rock salt is basically chunks of salt the size of the decorative gravel in fish tanks. It's used for melting ice on roads and sidewalks.
Wakey wakey, hand off snakey 😂😂
It’s funny how she doesn’t remember from the first one that she was trying to tell Bill before he shot her in the head that the baby was his because she kept trying to speculate what Beatrix’s relationship with Bill was when I felt like it was very obvious lol it’s also funny that Bill kept referring to himself as Daddy when he was talking to their daughter and she still didn’t pick up on it 😂
Thick as mince thats why
My favorite piece of trivia about these two movies that I just saw pointed out recently (that i somehow never realized) is that in the first movie, she kills dozens of people. In the second one, she only kills Bill.
Whoever your new editor is is friggin' awesome 🤘
my favorite Q T movie is called DEATH PROOF
Has some of my favorite music from a QT movie.
The structure of these two movies is great, in the first she kills everybody, in the second she only kills one person.
You made my day(as always). Have been so looking forward to you completing this great Tarantino epic😊❤
Watched this earlier in the year with my folks, I could remember them watching it before years and years ago, but this was a first time for me. Naturally we ended up doing both volumes in one sitting👍👍Both movies are absolutely top-tier, though I thought *Volume 1* was just a little bit better.
Death Proof is worth watching. I think it's his most underrated movie. It's a horror movie featuring the stunt woman who did the stunts for Uma Thurman in KB1. She plays herself and does her own stunts, which are insane in the movie (no CGI, real stunts). It is Tarantino's ode to stunt actors (although Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is also). It's an epic thriller/horror.
YAY! Been waiting to watch your Vol 1, now I can see both today 😊
"Four Rooms" is a good one. It's actually a movie about a Hotel & the stories of each of the four rooms are directed by different directors. Quentin Tarantino directs & stars in the last one, but the stories of the other three are also very fun & entertaining as well.😊
"I didn't see that coming, neither did she" lolol. I knew that scene would shock you. Perfect ending for Elle.
Nikki is black... Bea would have A LOT of explaining to do if Nikki was her daughter...
Flutes come in a wide variety of sizes. The "brown stuff" that Budd spat and that was in the can that Elle got splashed with was tobacco juice.
"Bill, it's your baby..." BANG!! Kinda explains it all hahaha
"I wonder if Bill is the babies dad?" lmao So you figured out the baby was alive but you couldn't figure out Bill was the father when BOTH movies open with Beatrix saying "Bill, it's your baby" as she gets shot in the head lol
Great Film, Great Reaction, Worth the Wait WAKEY, WAKEY yeah i remember that ad 😊😉
There was talk of a Vol 3 at one point. With Maya Hawk (Uma's Daughter) playing B.B. Niki being played by Zendaya. Nikki being trained by the blind California Mountain Snake. I remember her snake but not her name for some reason. Gogo's twin sister, of course played by the same actress also after The Bride for revenge. But Tarantino decided not to do it.
Tarantino has directed a handful of T.V. episodes and short films, and he has directed 9 or 10 full-length films depending on if you count both Kill Bill films as one work or two. He has previously said he would only ever direct 10 films, but since he himself counts Kill Bill as just one, he may very well have one more "left in the tank." Here's the list:
1. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
2. Pulp Fiction (1994)
3. Jackie Brown (1997)
4. Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
5. Death Proof (2007)
6. Inglorious Bastards (2009)
7. Django Unchained (2012)
8. The Hateful Eight (2015)
9. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
You could include the one he wrote but didn't direct in the list, but not as one of his 10 directorial movies. From Dusk Till Dawn, in which he also stars. In a lot of ways, still a Tarantino movie, plenty of violence and lots of feet shots - Also well worth the watch
I'm glad that you liked this one Dawn Marie! I personally think this one's got a better chance of being Best Movie Ever because Part One was strong in the stylistic department. It makes all the Pai Mei backstory better, for example, and the bookends with Budd and Bill better too.
Gordon Liu and (the sadly late) Sonny Chiba are two of the Kung Fu film icons from Tarantino's developmental years. The fact that he got both of them to appear in his films is just too cool for words.
Such a shame when Dawn ruins the reaction by being thick as two short planks and by forgetting important details
Sigh
Pi Mei told Bea this is my hand now. Then she used it to snatch L's other eye.🍻
The two volumes were originally meant to be released as one movie but Hollywood bigwigs thought it was too long so Tarantino split it into two parts.
Great reaction as always.
You can see her name in the first movie when she takes the flight to Japan and her passport is shown 😁 It's still easy to miss or get like oh her name should be there. Just a funny detail.
The movie is supposed to actually be 1 long movie, but it's propably one request I know Quentin never got thru 🤔 and it was chopped in two for the lenght. It in a sense works very well, but kinda does it dirty since you are supposed to feel the style change in between (the next movie Death Proof does that in a shorter time because this one was cut in two). Like the first is more so traditional spy/action/kung fu when the second takes a heavy western influence to it. When I watched it first time as a teen, it was just when the second came for rent so it was back to back the whole thing and it works very well as one movie. Because the first is fast paced mayhem and then in the second it slows down to the details of the plot while still having good action sequences. The pacing is very good while watching the whole thing, to some the first as alone feels like too much blood and all that without giving a lot of plot.
Kill Bill is kinda an odd blend of QT's old style mixed with the newer when you watch it now later on after Inglorious, Django, Hatefull 8 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Kill Bill is very.. kinda like in the middle of metamorphosis movie of QT.
The next is even way more so kinda one that is an odd one out and I really do suggest to also watch Robert Rodriquez Planet Terror, since Death Proof and that are supposed to be like a double feature which when it came was shown in some theaters back to back with fake trailers that various directors made in between. Like the two movies were made to be, Planet Terror first and then Death Proof. So Death Proof is part of a whole bigger concept where Robert and Quentin made exploitation genre'd movies that are like twin movies to each other. There is used some same actors and actually one same set in both movies. As much as I love Tarantino I actually think Planet Terror is even more fun watch and play of the genre.
I do suggest to anyway watch also At Very Least Desperado (QT makes a cameo in it) and Sin City (QT directed one scene of it for a 1 dollar since Robert did some music for Kill Bill for the same 😂) from Robert Rodriguez. Those are his best ones (Desperado is part of a trilogy but you don't need to see the El Mariachi which is made with like a budget of 1000 dollars. It's good for it's budget which is why he got to do Desperado with an actual budget with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in the leads). He's the guy who directed From Dusk Till Dawn so he is a very good friend with QT and their artistic paths are tied. Even tho Robert really seemed to stop taking films so seriously and do kids films like Spy Kids and other ones. Have not really done anything adult orientated after the sequel that was post-poned for like a decade to Sin City. Then he again went into other things. Still a really good director with some Bangers on his belt.
12:17 - now imagine sitting in a huge cinema with bass boost and surround sound whilst that box is nailed shut and buried underground.
lol Dawn trying to do the Eagles claw was everything , made my day lol
In Tarantino's universe, if the characters from Pulp Fiction went to see a movie, this is what they'd see. The star is Mia Wallace, the premise is adapted from Fox Force Five, and we even see Jules in his new career as an actor after leaving the gang life.
Both movies start with Beatrix telling Bill its his baby before he shoots her in the head...
The gun was filled with rock salt not shells. Enough to do surface damage but not enough to kill.
The first thing she says at the beginning of both movies, just as she's getting shot in the head, is "Bill, it's your baby".
