I actually prefer that one guy.....who's Japanese....and he's got that mask and black suit. He was pretty cool.

oh yeah! i almost forgot about him!

if youre looking for a witty signature, youre looking in the wrong place.

No wait...I changed my mind. Remember that one 88? He wore a black suit, thing tie, and funny mask? He was of Japanese origin? He was in the House of Blue Leaves.....and I believe he died, either his head was cut off, his chest was struck into, he was impaled by a sword, an axe went into him, his face was slashed, his arm was dismembered, his foot was sliced off, his leg was sliced off, his eye was yanked out. I'm pretty sure it was one of those. I'm not 100% sure though.

Wait, I changed my mind again, I like that one 88 with no mask.....who gets spanked and cries.

This is turning into one of those cliched worthless threads.

(the crazy 88 scene was kyle's avatar.)

Personally I liked the one guy in that scene, when they're all laying on the floor in agony, there's ONE GUY that is standing up and stumbling. That's my favorite.

What the hell is he doing?

The one who is holding his face? At the begining of the battle The Bride snatches an eye from a Crazy88 (from that moment it goes into black and white) and I believe thats him at the end stumbling and holding his eye.

YEA, I convinced my mom to see Kill Bill

wasnt there also a guy who got cut in half verticaly? the shot was really fast and blurred and black and white...i could be mistaken. (ive only seen it once so ...you know..)

if youre looking for a witty signature, youre looking in the wrong place.

Yes. Straight down the middle.

Like Hattori Hanzo said, "If you shall encounter God on your journey, God will be cut"

I just got back from finally seeing KILL BILL volume 1. I must say...I was very disappointed. From the trailer’s cool shots and catchy music, I thought this Tarantino flick was actually going to be good. But Quentin came threw and proved he is still a guy who got lucky with Pulp Fiction. It’s as if the guy knows he isn’t an indie film maker anymore so he purposely tries to make his films “weird”, and add stupid sh*t here and there to make his films look indie...I wonder what he thought when he came up with at animated scene...”Oh hey guys since she’s from Japan, lets do the flash back in Japanimation...yeah that would be cool and indie” “But Quentin, what’s the purpose?” “There is no purpose man, its just indie”. Very weak movie. Why? Here..

The pacing of the film was all over the place, but in a bad way. It irritated the hell out of me the way that movie DID NOT flow. The excessive blood was obnoxious and worthless, all it gave was shock value and after two heads getting cut off, I was over it and after that the spraying blood just gave the film a immature look, I mean god damn in the “Adam’s Family” the spraying blood was used as a joke. The constant VOICE OVER and narration made Tarantino look like a director who can’t tell a story with out pictures, oh wait, that’s right, he can’t...if I wanted to hear someone tell me the story I would have rented a book on tape. The last two fight scenes saved the movie, but it still was a waste of my time. I will not go te the theaters to see volume 2, and I’ll only watch it if someone else rents it.

Does anyone know Tarantino’s address? I want my $8.50 and 90 minutes of my life back.

HOODIE PRODUCTIONS......"making it happen"

I would like to put in my 2 cents about the movie's realism. Obviously this takes place in a world where everything that happens makes sense. Trying to apply the rules of our world to the movie is pointless. The second that really gelled for me is when Uma is on the plane. Watch those scenes, what do you notice? She has her fricking sword with her. They let her bring her sword onto the plane. Now pay closer attention. In a few of the angles you can see that the person in the row across from her also has a smurai sword.

This is a world where people bring their samurai swords on airplanes and no one cares. Where a woman shot multiple times, including a shot to the head, can survive for how many hours The Bride was lying on the ground. Where an assassin doesn't use a gun. Why the hell doesn't Uma have a gun? We know guns exist and that assassin's use them in this world but she doesn't use a gun. Why? Honor? She was ambushed by 5 people who had guns, and now that she wants revenge she uses a knife? (Hey, why didn't she use her sword on Vernita?)

Vernita has a gun in a box of cereal. So what does she grab when she runs into the kitchen. A butcher knife. What the hell?

The answer. It's a fricking movie. I find it hard to believe anyone disliked the movie only because of its refusal to be realistic.

Good points about the swords and guns...but I just didn't like it because it sucked, plain and simple.

HOODIE PRODUCTIONS......"making it happen"

The anime was pretty much for the fans (of anime,) if the general public is like you and thinks it's not needed, well, then that's just a shame. Although, it was probably also used because the character was, get this, NINE. Sure, Japanese girls look young, but they still all look thirteen. It'd be pretty sick to cast anyone young enough to play that part in that part. So, basically he was able to have his nine year old, well eleven technically (it skips ahead two years,) girl squat on top of the old man and then savagely murder him and his crew. That, and anime is its own respective art form, which appearently isn't for everyone. But like I was saying before, typically, if you aren't already a fan of these kinds of movies, this ain't gonna make you one.

The Anime was used to pay homage to those typs of movies....ANIME.....cause Kill Bill was highly influenced by them....(hence all the abnoxious blood)

Mind Rite; I still don't see your point with Tarantino thinking he's indie by putting a cartoon in the film....he wasn't being indie at all....if you'd read any articles or interviews (or just watch the damn film) you'l realize it's him making the ULTIMATE exploitation/samurai/revenge/kung-fu movie....and I damn well think he did just that. He was TRYING to be cheezy (thats why he used the model planes and Tokyo) and I thought it made the film a whole lot more fun.

The reason Uma doesn't use her sword on Vernita is because she knows Vernita is the best with a knife....and Uma is honorable by also using a knife....Uma easily could've have blown off Vernita's head with a gun the moment the door opens, but this is her EX-partner she's fighting.......she still shows respect even though Vernita "killed" her baby and put her in coma for 4 years.

The swords on the plane (when I noticed it like the 3rd viewing) finally made me LOVE this movie. That is what BROUGHT me into the world of Kill Bill. Where everyone has their own sword. I loved that....It makes a whole new universe............and to me this is something lots of movies lack.....making their OWN world for an unrealistic movie.

It did not suck, it was the best movie this year *cry* *Sob*

do not bash my beloved Kill Bill!!!

Hoeks... I love you man... I really do... but it wasn't good at all... It was "cool" ....and thats all it was.

it was ****ING AWESOME! *imagine the Pope with his hands up, preaching*

Your right... its was awesome... but was it good?

Tarantino look like a director who can’t tell a story with out pictures, oh wait, that’s right, he can’t - mindright

hmmm. i ussually see this as a good thing. movies should be able to tell their storys visually first and foremost, remember, back in the day there was no sound, therefor there was no other way to tell a story but with pictures.

if youre looking for a witty signature, youre looking in the wrong place.

Thats why we love Stanley so much.

Kill Bill was awesome and good...in fact, great. Seen it twice already and want more.

Mind Rite: just because you dont like a movie, what gives you the right to lose yourself and call him a lame director. Pulp Fiction was not his only other great movie...remember a little movie called Reservoir Dogs? Or even Four Rooms. His part was the best.
