Killed Bill

Man, the second volume rocked! I do not want to pick either one as my favorite, so I'll just say I loved the movie as a whole: Vol 1 and Vol 2. One of the most stylish movies I've seen. Now I need to read about it from the Net and spot the in-movie references. I could get Once Upon a Time in the West and Fistfull of Dollars. More?

    The yellow track suit she wore in Kill Bill vol 1 before masaccring the crazy 88 is the one worn by Bruce Lee in Game of Death.

    Oh, I know a few of the Vol 1 references. There's a green hornet reference too, it's theme music plays in between two chapters.

    And the score that plays in the final scene, when she does the 5-point-palm thing, isn't that from "Enter the Dragon"?

    QT movies are always full of references, aren't they? I mean, that's practically all they are. There's hardly anything original in them.

    I read someone say that his only redeeming factor was that what he imbibed, he imbibed well.

    That part of the score is from Navajo Joe, music by Ennio Morricone.

    Madhav, a tip: the deleted scene from KB2 (3:37 mins, 51 MB) is available at suprnova. :-)

    Ah, maybe.

    Sounded familiar anyhow. Ennio Morricone's the GoodBadAndUgly guy, right?

    Or was it all three of them - FistfulOD, ForFeewDM and GBU...

    I got that too :D Looked tasty!

    Which is the bond movie in which the evil host serves Bond a cooked goat head and eats the eye ball to explain about getting the "juices flowing"?

    Octopussy?

    A hilarious scene involving Michael Jai White, Bill and Bea, in which MJ White plays the archetypal wronged student ("You killed my master, prepare to die!") Needless to say, things get quite bloody. :-)

    Ah, yes :) I remember that :D

    When he has to work his way up the floors? One of them had that blind black guy and the other had that 10ft tall guy, right?

    Is that the one?

    Oh, cool. I'll bum it off you later, then.

    Was there a blind guy? There was Kareem Abdul Jabbar (not quite ten feet, but close) and I think there was Chuck Norris at the final level.

    I liked the scene where the screen goes completely blank. I actually gasped for breath. Tarantino pulled off a good effect there.

    Yes, he did. I thought he ended it perfectly too - knew just when to stop the darkness.

    Er, I thought it dragged on and on. Is that "director's style?"

    Many times, I get shouting at the tv screen, "get on with it, will ya'? Quit yer yappin'!"

    I'm sure a load of people will now tell me I don't "get it". ;)

    That's my daughter's favorite scene from the movie, and her dumb-C code for it too.
