Kill Bill

Not sure why I'm starting a topic on this, but I just finished watching it again. I have to admit, I am facinated by all of Quentin Tarantino's works, and I certainly do love this movie (well, 2 movies really.) Originally, I was not a big fan of the final fight in the first movie between the bride and O-Ren Ishii, I felt that it was somewhat anti-climactic, but having seen the movie again for the third or fourth time I think my opinion of it has changed.

At this point the only one problem that I have with the movies is that you learn the bride's name in the second movie. I would have actually been much more happy not ever learning it, kind of like Clint Eastwood's character in the "Man with No Name" series ("A Fist Full of Dollars", "A Few Dollars More", and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Another series definitely worth watching if you've never seen it.)

For anyone that hasn't seen "Kill Bill" volumes 1 & 2, I definitely recommend getting your hands on a copy and watching it.

Well your were bound to find out the name of the her character, because not everyone is going to refure to her as "the bride". They also have to help in explaining the back story that lead to where she is in the story.

As for all of Quentin Tarantino's works.... Dust til dawn wasnt that great. I'm glad that he desided not do anymore acting.

I would actually have to agree with you on From Dusk Till Dawn, not his greatest moment. I knew he acted in it, but I didn't realize that he had a writing credit on it as well.

yeah, the Kill Bill movies were great....well made, and a good soundtrack, too

(IMHO

). anyway, I thought it kind of sucked when you found out her name.....I mean, you find out, and it's nothing special.

but overall those are great movies, and who doesn't like a little blood and guts (using swords!!) every once in a while

I liked them. Especially the break dancing part where she slices off their feet, that was great!

*thumbs up*

Resevoir Dogs:
Quintin Tarantino + Steve Buscemi = Win

Actually I love Buscemi in anything.

Reservoir Dogs was another great one. I have the Mr. Pink edition. After watching the alternate angles for the ear cutting scene I think the one they chose was the best. Some of the other ones have more of a close-up of actually cutting off the ear, but it looks so fake that it kind of loses something.

I saw Ichii the Killer, it was like a japanese Kill Bill in some sorts.

A few of the characters from Kill Bill were from other martial arts movies such as Pai Mei

We were watching a movie about movie editing in video class yesterday, and there was an interview with Quintin Tarantino, and he was talking about Reservoir Dogs, and halfway through the interview, for pretty much no reason, he drops the F bomb twice. The teacher thought it was later in the interview and he was going to skip over it, but he missed it. It was very funny.
