Review

Other than adding a spoiler/cliffhanger to Vol. 1 and a brief reprise to Vol. 2, this essential second part of the Kill Bill saga feels very much a whole with the first. That writer-director Tarantino stages completely different fights, wildly tangential trails of dialogue, and cribs from whole new genres of film history should be no surprise, however. In one of the breeziest 2-hours-plus you'll ever see, The Bride (Thurman) completes her checklist (Madsen & Hannah as her feuding ex-squadmates), some emotional backstory is satisfyingly filled in, and the loose ends are wrapped up -- leading to an intense showdown with Bill (Carradine) after an epic buildup worthy of Sergio Leone. The film works on so many levels that multiple viewings are required: it's a straight-up revenge tale, a spot-the-references filmgeek fest (check out the breathtaking closing shot from The Searchers for starters, or Gordon Liu's Shaw Brothers films to fully understand his exhilarating Pei Mei training scenes), and ultimately a resonatingly emotional tale of two broken hearts. In delightful throwaway bits, Tarantino again shows his skill at resurrecting B-actors: Larry Bishop cameos as a coke-snorting titty-bar owner who humiliates Madsen, and Parks is all but unrecognizable as a slimily charismatic Mexican pimp.

BLOODY HOT FILM!

killer wrote on 06/21/2004:

Kill Bill 1 and 2 could have been condensed to be a single film but I wont get into that. But this is one great thriller from Quentin! Seems all the brewing time between this and his last film really payed off. Kill Bill is fun, retro, interesting, inventive, suspenseful, unrestrained, and very stylish. Initially, I wasnt intersted in Kill Bill because the trailer made it seem like a simple cookie cutter kung fu thing. But there is real character development and determination to tell the story of 'The Bride'. Volume1 is where the little fish get snuffed. Volume2 is the really fun part.. where the big fish get a tast of Uma. And boy does she sport all the hot kung fu action beautifully! Maybe the story was too long for the obligatory 2 hour movie and thus 2 volumes were chosen to release this. Nonetheless, if you want 2 fun additions to your dvd collection sure to entertain anyone, this is just one of those movies. (note: there is plenty of bloodshed & violent scenarios so it's not for the squeemish)
