I've always used the same ring tone on my phone, except on holidays where I'll change it to a festive tune.

i never even owned the same phone longer than ... hmm .. 15 months was max i guess ...

now .. what's up with Yuki ??? will we see her ???

ooops .. seems not http://uma-thurman.zanlius.com/ reports that the scene was never shot .. while on the other hand Harry Knowles at aintitcool.com swore that the scene was shot ... hmmm

Too bad, I liked the Yuki part of the original script. Thanks for the link too. The guy that does that Uma site also has a pretty decent English language Chiaki Kuriyama (Go Go Yubari) site.

Thanks for Yuki links. Sounded kinda interesting to be sure.

I also liked the bit of dialog. Since the movie was about paying homage to the movies/directors that influenced tarantino, I thought it added a bit of his own style (witty dialog) to the movie. The movie had to have some tarantino trademarks.

Does anybody happen to remember how the members of the crazy 88 carried their swords? I'm being one for Halloween tonight and I can't remember if they wore it on the side or across their back.

they just showed up on screen with them out. other then on the cycle they just carried them in hand.

Just saw it again and noticed that the last shot of Uma (talking to Bill?) which is in B&W, her eyes gradually turn blue while the rest of the shot stays B&W. I thought that was pretty cool!

Yup it's Bill.

This is one thing that's confused a few people. A lot of guys think that the "How did you find me?" line is a predecessor of what is bound to occur in the future (In Volume 2) as soon as The Bride arrives back in America. But that line is actually mentioned outside the chapel before The Bride got married.

*Proof*

Trailer

If you haven't seen this trailer yet, it's got scenes from Volume 2.

Just watched it on DVD tonight. The version I have had alot of stutters from the dupping process I assume. This was the american version based on the reports from above. The picture quality was quite good considering and no dolby digital sound. A bug "Property of Miramax" was across the top for the whole movie but, it wasn't that disctracting. I liked the movie and can't wait for volume 2.

You might have been watching the Work print version since that was the one with the Prop of mirmax text on top.

this scene confused me too ... i figured it would be bill .. but somehow I thought this is when they first met ... but then again, what knows I ? I have not read the script (well, only now "Yuki's revenge")

Kudos to the guy going as a Crazy 88 for Halloween ... cool idea ...

here is one theorie .. which maybe i do not even want a reply to (from those people who read the script) ...

many reviewers complain that they cannot connect with the bride because the reason for her being killed is unclear ... i think:


does that make sense ??? I have to admit that the scene in Texas confused me as I had trouble with the accent .. and the subtitle function on my remote did not work in the theater ..

oh yeah .. and you guy with pirate DVD .. i hate you ! ...

and you should really watch the movie the first time in the theater (but sure, i'd love to even have that friggin work print to check out little scenes later)

Shit, the first time I saw it I thought she was talking to Budd.

Whoa! Thanks! I haven't seen that trailer. Where did it come from? It gave a lot of cool shots from part II.

And I don't think that QT will end up leaving much of the story out. There will probably be a couple ambiguous questions after everything is over. But I think most of it will get cleared up in Vol. II.

me too . never seen this trailer .. I am actually still downloading .. so far .. about 40 secs, it looks like a trailer for KB2 .. thanks for the link Quentin, i know you'd be posting it here first

Actually that trailer is included on the soundtrack CD. If you open it in Windows Explorer there's a folder called Videos and it's the one titled KB3.mov (AKA Trailer #2-Q.T. Bootleg). There are also the two original trailers on there as well. Or you can run the killbill.exe file for a menu of them.

Does anyone have this promo U.K. DVD?

1:33 so far
seems that trailer was shot in some theater .. and the budd scenes are mirrored ... but looking good .. darn i hate the online connection here

That trailer link is the theatrical trailer for Kill Bill Vol. 1.

It's the same one offered at the Kill-Bill.com site.

There are tons of them on Ebay all from UK sellers. I'd definitely like to pick one up but I've had bad experiences with Ebay purchases made from outside the US, so I'm hoping to get one that's shipped from here.

I just watched this the other night, and really enjoyed it. I think I might even see it again next Tuesday, if it's still playing, when the local theater has a "bargain" night. I hope the DVD release has the House of Blue Leaves fight in color. And I loved the anime sequence.

I really would like to find a great samurai sword now, but it looks like they run over $1000.

Quentin really made use of the 2.35:1 aspect ratio too. I wonder how they are going to transfer the split screen portion for the pan and scan video. Eew!

I would imagine we'd have to pick up the Japanese DVD to get this unfortunately. Unless Miramax decided to release an "unrated" version as well or maybe use seamless branching (wishful thinking). I'll pick up all versions of this movie regardless.

I'm actually wanting to see this again. When I finished watching it last night I thought it was pretty good, but maybe not a masterpiece of standout cinema or anything, but it's growing on me.

I'll wait for both DVDs to be released together in one set, hopefully in an unrated version. Maybe even cut together into one single film.

I would like to see the three+ hour Kill Bill volumes condensed into a more tightly edited 2 1/2 hour film.

The only thing that'll have made splitting them in two worthwhile is if Vol. 2's title card read:

That would make it a nice kitchy homage to Fellini, which would be worth my extra $9.
