Hi!👋
Poisoned him.
Toxic relationship.
Gotcha. 😀
A good Tarantino movie without a lot of violence : The Eightful EIght.
Hellooooo... :D
Hey Mary!
Goedenavond
Vol. 1 is WHAT happened, Vol 2. Is WHY. They compliment each other.
Beautifully put
It was to be one single movie, but it got too big, so Quentin split it into two.
28:08 My favorite thing about how Bill dies is that Beatrix kills him by "breaking" his heart. It's a nice touch from Tarantino.
Another thing I like is how a black mamba (not THE Black Mamba) kills Budd, and presumedly Elle after Beatrix leaves. Very symbolic . . .
Pretty sure the reason they were censoring her name for so long, is that Bill kept calling her "Kiddo", which is a common term of endearment, usually for a child, but can also be for someone who's just significantly younger, similar to "son" and such. We are led to believe he's calling her that as a sign of affection. In reality, he's just calling her by her last name, which is *much* more distant.
I always thought it was censored to conceal the exchange between Beatrix and O-Ren. Silly Rabbit, bea(Trix) are for Kid(do)s.
Bill's Superman speech was incredible. And remember Mari to never break the heart of a murdering bastard.
Yes, but any comic book fan would tell you he's wrong. Superman was raised a normal human and thus identifies as Clark Kent.
It's Bruce Wayne who truly identifies as batman and where's a mask of Bruce Wayne.
@@bryansmith1691 I'm a comic-book fan and I understand Bill's point Clark Kent. Kal-El having to pretend to be a meek nerd (in some iterations) could be read as his feelings towards humanity, the murdering bastard's perspective at least.
@@bryansmith1691 Bill's opinion that Clark Kent is Superman's judgement on humanity is Bill's judgement on humanity. And the fact that it seems like he wasn't self-aware enough to realize it is Tarantino's judgement on Bill etc... 😂
@@bryansmith1691 And Spider-Man has superpowers without the mask. He wakes up Spider-Man.
@@thubelihlezondi5822 true, to an extent, but Clark Kent isn't who Superman thinks humans are it's the human he thinks he is. Now there are plenty storyline especially recently that are about him confronting his humanity/godom but original Clark Kent is supposed to be like any farm boy from middle america because he's is that.
If you have seen/read invincible it would be like saying mark Grayson is a disguise for invincible..
It's not Clark's Kent's indictment on humanity as much as it is a cosmic indictment on humanity that such an all powerful being would choose these traits to relate to over other human traits..
Fun fact: The piano player at the chapel, Rufus, was played by Samuel L. Jackson in an uncredited role.
So fun
I've heard so many people react that way, at the end, "That's a weird cry/laugh," and I wonder what it says about me that I never felt that way. I mean, until a scant few hours before her revenge was complete, Beatrix didn't know about BB. Do you think she ever considered the future, after she'd gotten them? Still awash in the loss of her daughter, did she ever think she could HAVE a future?
And then, there she is! BB! She's little, and perfect, and ALIVE! By the next morning, Beatrix was free, alive, and had a future to care about. That's a friggin' polarity shift. That's a continental movement. That's a supernova going off.
So how do you react to ALL that? I think a good cry/laugh is EXACTLY what's in order.
The euphoria finally kicked in. All jokes aside, it's happiness and relief. Anyone looking for her is neutralized. She has won and reclaimed her child.
I interpreted it as decompression: she can finally relax and let go after all the trauma, adrenaline, and paranoia. She can process her feelings. But you also make a good point about suddenly having a daughter and a future with her.
The euphoria was also the side effect of the drug that Bill shot her with . It was a very delayed reaction. Bill in so many words said so after he shot her.
@@jlilley73 Same, thats the way I read it the 1st time I watched it too. Decompressing and letting go of all the emotions shes bottled up and pushed aside. Thats why she is running the gambit of crying to laughing. From loss to accomplishment.
"I am very excited in a very very weird way". Funny you should say that, that's exactly how Bill was feeling in his last moments
Here's a fun series of connections - the movie that Beatrix and B.B. watch together before going to bed is "Shogun Assassin". "Shogun Assassin" is an American movie that was made by literally chopping up and combining parts of two Japanese movies and dubbing it all in English. The two Japanese movies used were the first two of a six part Japanese series known as the "Lone Wolf and Cub" movies. The Lone Wolf and Cub movies were based on a Japanese manga (comic book) series that was written by Kazuo Koike (who also wrote the screenplays for the movies) . Kazuo Koike also wrote another manga and it's film adaptation: "Lady Snowblood". The movie "Lady Snowblood" starred Meiko Kaji in the lead role. Meiko Kaji also sang the theme song from the movie, a song called "The Flower of Carnage." "The Flower of Carnage" was used In Kill Bill volume 1 - you hear it at the end of Beatrix and O-ren Ishii's duel in the snow.
This is great information ! Now I wonder if the "lioness and cub" at the end is a reference to "Lone Wolf and Cub"
@@autohmae Hmm...I hadn't thought about it before but the premise of Lone Wolf and Cub, a lone assassin traveling with a young child (*), is exactly where the Kill Bill movies end.
(*) also the premise of The Mandalorian, by the way.
Yes, and that concept later became "The Mandalorian" as @victorsixtythree - said.
I never knew that about Shogun Assassins. Kinda reminds me of the story behind Game of Death which is also referenced by Bea's outfit in Volume 1.
That hat that Madsen was wearing was his own hat that he wore around the set. Tarantino hated it, so he wrote the dialogue where Bud has to get insulted and take it off.
classic Tarantino.
Thats a little surprising because Tarantino is known for pretty much knocking out his screenplay and doing edits long before production begins. He's not really a script revisions on set sorta guy ...So what im saying is he really mustve hated that hat lmao.
Bud must've been a beast in his prime, he was drunk, out of shape, with a touch of dissatisfaction with his life, and still managed to win against The Bride. Sure, she escaped the trap, but that only happened because he didn't double-tap her.
That's what I would imagine or else why would he be on the team?
She def got double tapped lol
It also says a lot that Bud is the only one Beatrix didn't come at head on. She was willing to face an army of Yakuza to get to O-ren and agreed to a duel that gave Vernita the advantage but She tried to ambush Bud. She knew what he was capable of and she was scared.
he didn't double-tap because as he said, she deserves her revenge. it was a test; if she can escape his trap, he concedes defeat, and his life
@@6Qubed Also because he was instructed to make her "suffer until her last breath" which he interpreted as suffocation.
Mary saying "Girl Boss" is one of the best laughs I've had in a while. A perfect delivery. :D
What I like about Kill Bill is the contrast between the two parts. In the first part Beatrix kills almost 60 people, in the second part only one - Bill.
Yes! That's what I was going to say!
A subtle touch is Bill takes six steps before his heart explodes instead of five because he is so tough.
I liked Kill Bill Vol. 2 better because of the better character development and the dynamic between Bill and Beatrix.
The chemistry between them was incredible. You could really feel the history there. These were two people who cared about each other and really knew each other. What an amazing dynamic.
Her name shows up in the first one on the plane tickets. it's only on screen for a flash, but it IS there.
I liked how all this time, they were building up to a climactic showdown, and thanks to the exploding heart technique, it was over in seconds.
So, pretty much EVERYTHING in the Kill Bill movies (including costumes, sound effects, music, camera shots and angles, etc. etc.) is a nod or a tribute to specific films or to film genres that Tarantino grew up watching and loving . There's a really good video showing some of the influences: ruclips.net/video/Y4le3EDDAIQ/видео.html
And Pai Mei is a traditional character who has appeared in several Hong Kong martial arts films: ruclips.net/video/Q96fdJ5F7aw/видео.html
And something I only just noticed - Beatrix is driving a black Pontiac Trans Am with a firebird painted on the hood, which is what Burt Reynolds drove in the 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit".
Elle drives it, right? Not *bleep*.
@@nickgjenkins Shoot, you're right! I was thinking *bleep* was driving it when she was narrating "I am gonna kill Bill." at the beginning of the movie but that's a different car isn't it?
@@victorsixtythree I think it's a Karmann Ghia. Cute car!
Bit of trivia. The actor who played Estaban also played the Sherriff in volume 1
It really is one whole movie. It was all filmed at the same time and it's intended to be viewed as one long film.
FWIW, the entire movie was conceived as one movie, but then ended up being too long to release as one, hence the volume 1 and volume 2 titles. I LOVED this movie. It was such a fun time to see this in the theater, not knowing what it was or what was coming. And yeah, I think I liked Volume 2 more, too.
There's also "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" which is the full presentation as it was originally intended. One major difference that I like about that version is that the reveal that the daughter is alive is saved until the very end.
I only just now realise that Bud searched her and found the knife, whilst she was unconscious.. He knew 'kiddo' could make it out. He gave her a chance. That's why he stared at her before he closed the lid.
That blue "cool car" damaged Uma's body, and it almost killed her. (Look up the story of Harvey Weinstein, for more nasty details)
The name was bleeped out, to add an air of mystery. Oddly enough, you could see her name in Vol. 1, if you pause fast enough to see the plane ticket. Also, Bill did call her "Kiddo," due to it being her surname, but we naturally assumed it was a term of affection, since he was older than her.
For the theatrical release, we saw the list one last time; the name of every actor who played the assassins was crossed out... except for Daryl Hannah. Her name had a big question mark in front of it. When it's on television, they take that part out, for some odd reason.
I don't think we're meant to know for certain if Elle is dead or alive; "bleep" didn't think her important enough bother with, past mutilating and blinding her. After "bleep" survived all the other B.S., I'm sure she was able to verify it either way.
(Driver didn't deserve a verifiable fate, anyway; she's out of the picture, so who the hell cares about her? She didn't even have as much class as BUDD, for Pete's sake!)
In the first one, when O-Ren says Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids it is a reference to an American tv commercial and a play on her name. You can also see her name on the airline ticket when she flies to Tokyo.
Ive seen all quentin tarantino movies like atleast 6x and only now watching, i realise why bill and bb play with guns when beatrix comes in. If beatrix came in with guns and swords as she did, it would be easy to explain to bb that theyre playing and that she didnt come to actually kill bill directly infront of her. I feel dumb, keep up the great reactions loving them!
Its not like if there were 2 movies. Both are separated in 2 because of the duration of the whole thing. Both volumes came out the same year at the cinemas at that time. You cant choose which one you like most. They are perfectly valanced and that is why is one of the masterpieces of movies.
If I ever get buried alive, it's good to know I can punch my way out of the coffin.
Kill BIll Vol 1 and 2 are the best self-help manuals one could ever have.
A big component of Tarantino's movies is the element of hommage to other movies that had great influence, to his work.
So, we can view Kill Bill volume 1 as a reminiscence to the Japanese cinema.
There s even an Anime scene in the movie.
Kill Bill Voliume 2 - on the other hand - seem to take its inspiration from Hong Kong "Kung fu" movies. The legendary master Pai Mei, or the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique are both not inventions by Tarantino, but are direct borrowings from some of the greatest hits, of that special genre.
I guess it would be fair to say that - in that context - the Kill Bill movies represents Quentin Tarantino's Kotau to the east asian cinema.
Nice info. From which movie did Tarantino got the idea of Pai Mei. I remembered seeing a clip showing an old kung fu movie with a character exactly like Pai Mei but i don'k know which movie it is. On the other hand, please i would like to know from where Tarantino got the idea of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Thank you!
@doble jota
The deadly fingering must have its roots in "Five Fingers of Death", from 1972.
Pai Mei's appearance is lend from the protagonist in "Master of the Flying Guillotine", from 1976.
But the actuall role model of Pai Mei should have been Pak Mei, one of legendary Five Elders, who lived in the 17th century . Why Pak Mei? Google for his story and find out 😉
@@chriswerth918 Thank you! I can also listen he took the legendary "Mad Beatrix" alarm sound FX from "Five Fingers of death".
When i watched this in the cinema, the scene where Beatrix was buried alive was incredibly intense. Because you were sitting in a dark theatre, watching a dark screen and just listening to the sounds.
In his book The Kill Bill Diary, David Carradine tells many details about the development of his character, and the movie's shooting, including ideas and shot scenes that didn't make into the final cut. Also, in which way the movie was cut in two, as him and other actors had to make a few extra scenes and reshoot others to make the split work.
Don't know if you noticed bur Michael Parks (who appears in many Tarantino movies) has a dual role in this franchise. He's the sherriff in the first movie and the old hispanic pimp in the second.
14:40 I'll say this bc it is not often talk about, especially with all the myth and legend around it, but Martial Arts per se are and were ALWAYS primarily about endurance. Being able to take pain and function with and through it. All the Wu Shu training, Shaolin monks training, and every martial art trainings, the number one thing they teach is the ability to accept pain. It's the most important and notorious trial to allow you to unlock your full potential and I'm not even talking about combat. The pain you learn to endure, that comes necessarily through discipline, makes you better in every possible things you can think of, from a philosopher to a politician, from a teacher to an artist. And I really do feel that's exactly what is being so masterfully portrayed here. The master is evaluating her potential through her determination and discipline to function with and through pain. If you can't do this, you will always be average or less. Always. Physically, mentally, spiritually, everything.
It was actually made/planned as one movie. But as it would have been too long it was cut into two parts.
You're right in that this was intended to be one movie, but it would have been too long. I like your reactions to Tarantino movies. You get him. Not everyone does.
I confess, I spent the entire reaction waiting for your response to the eyeball pluck. Your reactions are such fun.
The scene where Kiddo is cry-laughing in the bathroom. It's expected to have a massive emotional come down after what she's experienced over the previous months. Despite the death mark, it's clear Bill and Beatrix still loved each other, but even love wouldn't stop either of them from trying to fulfil their mission. There's a relief for her that it's finally over, that she has her daughter, but also with that is a tremendous sense of loss and guilt. It's so well acted.
Gordon Liu was in both films. He was the leader of the Crazy 88s gang that fought it out in the restaurant in Vol. 1. For Vol. 2 he played the part of Pai Mei.
The Texas Ranger in Vol. 1 was played by Michael Parks, who also appeared as Esteban in Vol. 2.
"Didn't happen from a happy meal." - Mary slays in this reaction.
Pei Mei is the bald gangster from O Ren Ishii's gang that she killed.
Dunno why but the bar manager saying to Bud "It's the only thing you kids understand" always makes me laugh
pai mei is a real character in old chinese movies....an amazing character.
Fun fact that a lot of people don't notice: the actor that plays the Mexican pimp is the same actor that plays the Sheriff at the wedding chapel scene. That's some good character acting.
The coffin part, in a cinema is actually terrifying. It is one of those scenes that takes you with it.
The sound, while the whole roomgets darker to pitch black.
You know you are in a big room, but feel claustrophobic anyway.
The music from the Bud parts is from 60's Spaghetti Westerns.
The aged man with a Spanish accent who tells Beatrice where Bill and the daughter are is played by Michael Parks who was the sunglass-collecting sheriff at the chapel in Kill Bill vol 1. And the deputy was his real life son.
I’ve been waiting for you to react to this! Both of these films are my favorite Tarantino films. I love the women power vibe. I also love Death Proof very much. Hopefully you will get around to that film as well. Great reaction!
I think you'll enjoy The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. You can see a lot of influences from director Sergio Leone's work in this movie though both Kill Bill movies soundtracks are amazing in the same way of with conveying emotion like Sergio Leone's works.
Fun fact, that brothel was an actual brothel, with some of the ladies sitting at the bar.
Both of these movies are a love letter to old Kung Fu movies. I used to get up every weekend and watch "Kung Fu Theater" on the local TV station. I loved those movies, and Kill Bill brought it all back. Tarintino is a true artist.
I do remember at one time John Saxon, the actor hosted Kung Fu Theater and had some martial arts exhibitions with martial arts instructors in between the Kung Fu movies. This was on Saturdays late afternoon on the Los Angeles local TV station KHJ (now KCAL) channel 9.
2:38 -- Bill was saying it as a joke, repeating what he'd overheard the pastor saying about the piano player shortly before that :)
The guy who plays Pai Mei also played the leader of the Crazy 88 in part 1. Also, the guy who plays Esteban - 20:31 - played the Texas Ranger in part 1.
21:13 - I ... know the feeling.
When you talked about worst fears of dying, I wasn't expecting "to fall upside down in a pit" 😄 made me chuckle! Your reactions are full of low key quirky comments! Love it 👏
quirky is what makes life interesting.
Not sure if you noticed but the actor that played the pimp Esteban (Michael Parks) also played the Texas Ranger in Vol.1 and the actor that played Pai Mei (Gordon Lui) also played Johnny Mo the Crazy 88 leader in Vol.1. Tarantino didn’t waste talent…lol
I like this one too more than the first one, the fight with Elle is epic, bill’s speech, Pai Mei is so enigmatic, 10/10
The actor who portrays Pai Mei is Gordon Liu and his most famous movie is "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin". You definitely should watch it and react to it. It is one of the top 10 greatest kung-fu movies of all time. I enjoyed K.B. Volume I for the violence and Volume II for the story line. I'm glad that you enjoyed both films.
He played 2 roles in this movie. He also portrays the leader of the crazy 88.
Just finished the full version on patreon. Loved it :-)
The violence in Vol. 1 is pure art. Hard to watch at moments, but definitely art.
I love them both for different reasons. But like you, I also don't separate them. You need them both for the full story & full effect. It's definitely one of my favs of all time.
When I was younger, Vol. 1 was my favourite. As an adult, it's Vol. 2.
In rural Texas, everyone wears cowboy hats. They're part of the uniform of state troopers.
👩❤️💋👩 The Lioness has rejoined her cub ^^
And now Mary if you remember a little girl at the beginning of the first movie and what Beatrix told her after killing her mother - "when you grow up and still feel raw about it I will be waiting". Now Tarantino said that he will wait until this little girl actress grows up and film Kill Bill vol.3 when she avenges her mother's death. She is an adult now I will have you know and Tarantino actually said recently that part 3 is on the cards. Nearly 2 decades later :-)
For me, back when these movies were originally released I watched the first one every day in the theater for like two weeks straight. It was by far my favorite of the two. I only watched the second movie for about 5 days.
But over the years, the backstory and Carradine's portrayal of Bill and his exchanges with Uma's Beatrix has grown on me to the point where now the second volume is by far my favorite. I guess this comes with age and maturity.
E2A: Altogether, Kill Bill 1&2 are my favorite things on film of all time.
I don't look at them as two different movies but as one continuous story. As you said, there are different elements to each but I can't watch one without watching the other. Love, love, love these movies and re-watch them about once a year when I see something that reminds me of how awesome they are. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend now. Thanks! 😁😁😁
If you’re still taking recommendations, Our Flag Means Death is a comedy pirate show on HBO. There are 10 30 min episodes so you could get through it pretty quick ❤️
LOL i like that you use the official KILL BILL bleep sound effect for your own F-bombs haha. A nice touch
4:47 For all of us gearheads in the audience, a very rare De Tomaso Mangusta sighting!
I still love both kill bill movies til this day
This is my second favorite Tarantino movie behind Jackie Brown. I love the dialogue and character development in this one a lot more than the first movie.
Kill Bill Vol. 2 pays tribute to both the Spaghetti Westerns (Italian) movies of the 60's and the martial arts, Kung Fu movies (from Hong Kong) from the 70's. Quentin Tarantino actually wanted the original actor who played Pai Mei in the Kung Fu movies in the 70's to play the role of his character in this movie. Sadly he passed away before Quentin could ask him before filming Kill Bill Vol. 2. So I have heard or read in an article.
Pak Mei was the original character's name tho
Hi Mary! Here's some fun facts on this movie.
12:20 this is the same actor that played the role of the crazy 88's leader Johnny Mo in part 1.
20:28 this is the same actor that played the role of sheriff Earl McGraw in part 1.
He also played the exact same sheriff character in 2 other movies:
Death Proof (Q. Tarantino)
Planet Terror (R. Rodriguez)
Parks also improvised Esteban's accent and dialog.
I adore vol 2. It's an amazing finale. Loved your reaction.
20:25 Not a lot of people notice, but that's Michael Parks, who also played the Sheriff. Michael was a chameleon of an actor who should've gotten WAY more parts before he passed. He's excellent in Kevin Smith's Red State. Gordon Liu also played 2 parts, Pai Mei and Johnny Mo (The bald leader of the Crazy 88)
There's a lot of people who want a sequel where the daughter of Vernita Green, aka Copperhead, goes after Beatrix.
To answer your question, I do like Vol. 2 better. The fight in Japan was incredible in Vol. 1, but I loved the Pai Mei storyline and the stuff with Elle, and the ending with Bill and B.B. was so great in this one.
When she says that Bill would have claimed their daughter, it doesn't mean that he would have taken her from her mother. That is unless their relationship went sour, then yeah, he probably would've taken her at that point. What Beatrix was concerned about would be that her daughter would grow up in Bill's world. Bill would be a major influence in BB's life. A life of death and assassinations. And she didn't want that kind of life for her daughter. Which is why she ran.
I actually saw Kill Bill 2 first in theaters and it's still my favorite
2023 That's a Volkswagen Kharmann Ghia. And if you ever wanted to join the classic car community, it's one of the most affordable options for doing so.
The pawned sword was seen in another one of Quentin Tarantino's movies which was Pulp Fiction.
20:22 - That car is an Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. A "light-sports-car" (at best) at the time, it was not so powerful, but very beautiful. Maybe with new electric motors it can have a renaissance?
Blood and Gore with Mary - LOL!
Should def think of em as one movie. There is versions "out there" with them edited together
20:37 That cool car is a Karman Ghia, basically a VW beetle with a very fancy body.
I like the first film better. Not because it has more violence, but because its violence is just more… elegant, much more elegant… it has style and esthetics to it. I mean look at the end, the sword fight in the pure, snow-covered garden, the music during that (dance-like) duel. That’s almost poetic.
Thanks Mari for your persistence and bravery in finishing up both volumes of Kill Bill. Volume 2 is my favorite because it wraps up the whole movie (Volume 1 and 2).
I was disappointed with this movie when it came out. I expected something with a larger scope. More minions getting murdered and a long battle with Bill...but I watched it again and now I am a bigger fan of this movie then the first one now. The characters, the dialog, and emotional depths it covers when covering relationships is brilliant. Really, an amazing achievement of a film in my opinion.
For entertainment purpose, yes, more minions and epic battles would have been perfect. However, by having a quick kill for Bill, we see that the bride changed during her journey. She is not a cold blooded killer anymore. For me, Kill Bill is one of the best Tarantino movie.
the joke about women using the silent treatment was that men just enjoy the silence.... was kinda funny
The guy who plays estaban, the pimp, is the same guy who plays the sheriff in volume one! Michael Parks!
I guess cinematically I prefer Vol 1 to 2, theres a lot more 'cool stuff' in there, like the use of black and white and silouhette shots. Dramatically, 2 is probably better, but yes they are both halves of a whole so...
After watching both several times I can personally say that I enjoy both of them equally.
- It was initially 1 movie, but cut in 2 volumes because it was too long.
- It is based on old western movies, where there were more action in the first half.
- Killing Bill was less violent than the previous ones because the bride changed. She is not a killer anymore.
- The bride said "you and I have unfinished business." to everyone except Budd. She killed of blind everyone except Budd.
Just in case you didn't know/notice - veteran actor Gordon Liu played the head of the Crazy 88 in Volume 1...and he played Pai Mei (literally "white (eye) brow" in Cantonese) in Volume 2.
And also (and this one continues to surprise me) another veteran actor, Michael Parks, played Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in Volume 1 and he played Esteban Vihaio in Volume 2.
(And the character Earl McGraw also appeared in 'From Dusk till Dawn' (written by Tarantino and directed by his friend Robert Rodriguez) and in both segments of the Tarantino/Rodriguez 'Grindhouse' double feature "Planet Terror" and "Deathproof".)
The best part about having a beard is Pai Meiing it.
For the younger out there, you should watch the 1972-1975 TV series Kung Fu, with a young David Carradine. It's the reason why Tarantino cast him as Bill. That series was an international hit, and together with Bruce Lee's movies, the reason why Chinese martial arts became mainstream worldwide both in movies as in real life. Before that, it was all Judo, Karate and very clumsy and slow fights in old spy and cowboy movies.
(And no, that series' idea wasn't stolen from Bruce Lee. Even Wikipedia knows that. Check the series' article.)
dont worry mary im sure the chances of you getting a visit from the deadly viper assassination squad at your wedding has got to be less than 40% at least.
The ONLY one who could POSSIBLY crash your wedding is totally blind, in any case!
Tarantino bleeped out the name Beatrix Kiddo because >>> "It's a stylistic choice, but I think it was part of her character development. If she's just The Bride/Black Mamba, this assassin's roaring rampage of revenge is a little less humanized, and so a little easier to accept. Once she gets a name, Beatrix Kiddo becomes a real person and we might have to question her actions and justification." -- PocketBuckle
I actually love 'The cruel tutelage of Pai Mei', because Pai Mei doesn't go apeshit when Kiddo cheats and tries to hit him with a rock, but he does when she assumes she can't do something, and his cruel tutelage is applied in order to remove that thought from her.
You think you can't punch a hole in this? Then all you'll do for a month is punch this untill you make a hole in it.
You think you can't use these sticks? Then you'll either eat food from the ground or learn how to use these sticks.
Pai Mei would have made a terrific Marine drill sergeant! He brought out "bleep"'s best, and made her BETTER!
I don't really view these as two separate movies tbh. Actually I am pretty sure Tarantino wanted it to be one movie but the studio didn't want to release a 4 hour long film
Sounds like it's a good thing you didn't see this in the theater. When that coffin lid shut, it was pitch black. All you could hear was dirt hitting the wood and breathing. No one in the theater made a sound. It was super intense. I was glad I'm not claustrophobic. Brilliant filmmaking.
Tarantino always has Dutch references in his films. In the first movie, it was a ringtone. Beatrix is also the name of the former Dutch queen.
Wait, what was the ring tone? (I'm Dutch)
@@Yggdrasil42 Sofie's ringtone, right before the crazy 88 fight. It's a Dutch football song. (I'm Dutch too)
Great reaction Mary!
( I also considered Volume II the best).
As has been said, Tarantino had planned both parts to be one very long movie.
The Hollywood executives disagreed and two films resulted.
