KILL BILL picture quality

Does the last fight scene look dark to you? (Picture quality/Brightness wise)

I think my DVD is defective. It keeps switching to black and white?

Thankfully that won't be an issue for me.

I would like to piggyback this thread if I could and ask for comments on overall picture quality if possible?

Well, I checked several reviews - no-one makes an issue of it being too dark, but everyone says it's a bit soft on details.

yea I agree, the picture quality is solid. But I think its a tad soft at times.

sorry to go off topic, but did anyone also think the subtitles were too small?

The picture looks exactly has it should...sharp...defined...vibrant colors...and a bit grainy and soft to reflect the type of film...a throwback to 70's Revenge/Kung-Fu films...

Do I have a defective disc? At the beginning of the movie when the logo comes on the screen it was really grainy, kinda like a really old type projector movie. And yeah, groucho's right, it keeps switching to black and white. Hopefully they will recall these defective discs.

Halp plz!!1

I gave this a rent, and then I went and bought it from FYE. I heard mixed stuff going in, but afterwards I realized what a really enjoyable film it was. The PQ looked fine to me, BTW, but it did seem a little soft. I figured that was the intention.

Off topic, slightly, though: has anyone watched the trailers yet, mainly the one for Pulp Fiction. Does anyone else wish that the Pulp Fiction DVD PQ looked more like that? I for one do b/c it's just a look that goes so well for that movie.

On a serious note..... I can't wait to pick this DVD up. I love this movie so much. I don't mind double dipping for the SE later on.

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. It happens when Oren and Vernita say it too. Hopefully we'll find out when Vol. 2 comes out Friday

It's a throwback to oldschool movies that have heros with no names. "The bride" is the only name she goes by, bleeping out the name is QT's homage to these films.

On a related note, I really hope I spoiled that for someone.

You must be getting a version without the wedding flashbacks then.
