actually, I never saw the movie until I got the dvd, so I wasn't joking. in any case, I got the sarcasm and I'm going to assume that the black & white is normal..

Oops, sorry. The way the jokes fly around here, sometimes it hard to tell. Yes the black and white is completely normal.

that's cool, I know how it is..

Tarantino made that "black and white" joke on Conan O' Brien last night.

Replaced my copy of Kill Bill yesterday. Same deal. There is a change in the DTS stream in chapter 12 at approximately the 1:00:20 mark. I've tried the disc out on several players and most don't seem to notice it. My Denon 5900 sure does though.

I've also tried my player with a couple of processors and some handle the hiccup from the effected players better than others. My processor mutes audio until I pause then hit play to re-establish lock.

Looks like another fine Buena Vista release that some players don't work well with.

Doh!

Thanks, JZ.

Noobs need love too. :-)

Yep, from what I understand (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), the black and white has to be there for that particular scene. In the states if you make a film with that much gore and bloodshed, it has to be viewed in black and white. Perhaps to lessen the visual effects of the blood and guts.

I heard the same thing at the same times. So is this a problem with the disc? I heard it on the DTS track. I did not listen to the DD track.

Read the entire thread. It's suppose to be there.

Good lord, if there is this much confusion here about the film, just imagine mainstream audiences renting or buying this.

i'm on the 5th run this week... not a single problem yet on 4 different players

I have had no problems with Kill Bill either. I purchased mine yesterday and watched it last night. It looked great. Exchange your disc. It is probably a bad copy.

Not really a playback problem but after 5 times watching it i just noticed this...

There's no forced Miramax trailers on the disc! I can't believe I just picked up on it. Much thanks though... I'm sure QT's stroke with the company had something to do with it.

I hope he gave me credit.

Why would you even post this?? Isn't this discussion about Kill Bill Vol. 1??? Yes, the poster before you posted about something in Kill Bill Vol.2, but didn't reveal anything that no one didn't assume. But you go and reveal her name, which obviously is part of the story since Tarantino even bleeped it out for the first film, and half way through the 2nd one?
Why don't you just remove it???
Jeezus...

its an old film trick. showing that particular scene in black and white gets around the rating. so tarantino didnt have to cut it, just lessen the overall effect of the scene by making it in black and white. little film tricks can get around certain ratings, if im not mistaken the last scene in Taxi Driver the film is desaturated so that Scorcese (sp?) didnt have to cut it out entirely.

I had some major problems with the audio on Kill Bill. It is probably something wrong with my receiver, but everytime something loud was about to happen my receiver completely turned off. The DVD kept playing in the player, so once I turned the receiver back on it was a few seconds ahead. It seriously took about five minutes to successfully get past the gun shot in the beginning. My roommates and I got fed up with it, so we watched it on my comp in my room. But having three guys on a bed watching a movie just isn't cool. I've never had a problem with my reciever like that before, it was like it was possessed or something.
