Kill Bill: Volume One

[EL__SCORCHO]

Did anyone think the most violent scenes were in the anime sequence? It's almost like that's what Tarantino wished he could have done with actors. The part where o-ren ishii is under the bed and we see the blood settling into the mattress, and then when it breaks through and drips onto her face is utterly devastating.

Yeah I thought so also. I think Roger Ebert in his review wrote that had this scene been shot live action with actors, it could have gotten the film an NC-17 rating.

What did you think of the shot from the second story floor when Uma looks down and everyone is either dead or without a limb. Oh man, pretty cool!

i felt really uncomfortable during the anime sequence. i don't think i liked it.

[ono]

I think the anime sequence was supposed to make you uncomfortable.  It certainly wasn't supposed to make you think of fuzzy bunnies.

i dunno. i've never really liked anime in general anyway.

It made me think of fuzzy bunnies.  In a blender.

Yeah, that was a crazy shot. But then the hostess lady is skating along the blood ridden floor, thats too much!

In australia KB was R18 ... so you had to be 18 to see it basically - Suffice to say, I got asked for ID 3 TIMES before I got in the theatre. When I bought my ticket, when they ripped my ticket, and when i walked through the doors.

me too. that fuckin sucks, eh. australian rating system is far too strict. luckily i got a fake ID, or I may have never seen either vol. 1 or 2 in the theatre. i would've gone insane.

Haha, I got 'I.D'd' a couple of times too, when buying the ticket and when entering. Both people felt they had to warn people about the film. The lady at the sales counter said something like "this is pretty nasty" and the guy at the enterance said "this is messed up, man. Its just insane". That just got me more excited!

I don't think anyone in the cinema knew what they were in for either. Its not mainstream stuff at all. We entered the 'MegaScreen' the biggest screen in the city and it was PACKED. The first screening at midday and it was nearly full. I wasn't expecting this at all. I was like 'Shiiiiit, all these people here for QT's latest, my god' (its just a pity that the comments on the way out weren't so good). But the film weirded people out I think. The over-zealous laughter during the Sonny Chiba bit was all too obvious that they were soaking up the only real 'light' moment.

Yeah and there is something really discomforting/alien about the anime sequence, especially for those new to 'japanimation'. Though that shot when O-Ren snipes out the guy in the limo was supreme!

I got that a lot too. I started thinking, "Wait, what am I missing here", some people found it more hysterical than the "Go home to your mother " bit.

the funniest bit was the board room meeting (i won't give it away, but you all know the part i mean). everyone in the cinema absolutely pissed 'emselves. it was soooo old school japanesy.

[edison]

I walked into KB yesterday and i noticed that her name, well last name, is actually said at some point. Pretty neat i though, but you dont really think about it.

Oh, and i read somewhere that they said a reason for the notepad changing ink color and what not is that thats how noticable those types of errors were back in the day, so thats his kinda reference to that, which makes sense in a way because I dont believe he, the perfectionist, would let something like that slide.

[nix]

I meant to mention something about this earlier, but QT actually seems fond of deliberate small continuity errors. If you remember in PF, the first time Jules and Vince shoot Bret, Jules's gun empties and the slide goes back, but the second time we see it, it doesn't. There are also bullit holes in the wall behind Jules and Vince before the fourth man shoots at them.

Also, in the opening scene Honey Bunny says "I'll execute every motherfuckin' last one of ya!" and in the last scene, she says "I'll execute everyone of you motherfuckers!"

I think QT does this stuff on purpose.

[Cecil]

continuity is an overrated concept anyhow

.

He did that to show how people have slightly different interpretations of the same event.

[Ravi]

continuity doesn't matter that much anyhow

Damn straight.
