Jolly Rogers Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Somebody please just go and see the movie and come back with a review. That way if it sucks I don't have to waste my money on it. There ya go: Harry Knowles' review at AICN The anime is done by Production IG. Those of you who are unimpressed with the trailer should know that all the blood has been digitally removed for the trailer. Quote
Wes Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 I'm a sucker for good swordplay, (damn you, Highlander, my poor wallet... ) so I'll see it. It'll of course be at my local dollar + a half theature, but hey, it's where I always go. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I'll admit to being a fan as far as watching his movies. I've enjoyed all 3 his movies so far. But I would probably be happier never to see him act again. His guest spot in Alias was the worst 2 episodes ever, not to mention 4 rooms and Dusk til Dawn. What about Little Nicky? I thought his cameo was hilarious. Quote
yellowlightman Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I'm a sucker for good swordplay, (damn you, Highlander, my poor wallet... ) so I'll see it. It'll of course be at my local dollar + a half theature, but hey, it's where I always go. Gotta agree on the Highlander comment, any movie that manages to work swordplay into a modern environment is cool in my book. Not many movies can do it as well as Highlander though. I just watched the trailer, looks pretty cool. I'm a little unsure on the mixing of all those different asian cliches, it's weird to see Chinese martial arts stuff and Japanese martial arts stuff thrown together, but seeing as how they've been stealing martial arts from each other for the past 1500 years I suppose it's acceptible. One thing that does bother me about the trailer, and all of the movies like the Matrix and Charlie's Angels is regular actors who might be physically fit but without any real budo skills doing all these amazing jumps and kicks. Bothered me a lot in Charlie's Angels, not so much in the Matrix. Knowing how fake it is takes away a lot of the wow factor compared to seeing a Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan movie, because Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan actually knew what they were doing. No matter how cool it is so see Neo take on a ton of Agents, seeing Jackie Chan take on four guys while jumping through car windows and protecting the girl is way more exciting because you know it's real. Oh boy, I went off on a tangent there. Gotta agree with Exo on the Tarantino acting thing, rewatching Pulp Fiction I realized how bad he is. Better than a lot of people, but compared to the rest of the cast he looked pretty bad... Quote

I guess I could take him in small doses like cameos. He's a pretty good speaker also. But please, no more big parts for him. Quote
bsu legato Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I'll reserve judgement until I actually see Kill Bill, but that AICN article can hardly be called a "review." All Harry does is his usual fanboy gushing, while simultaneously trying to awe us with his knowledge of 70's B-grade movies. I'll wait and see what DarkHorizins.com has to say about it. Quote
J A Dare Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Uma? Lucy? I wanna see this chick!!! Apparently she's the personal bodyguard for Lucy's character. Imagine that? A Japanese schoolgirl as your bodyguard? Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 This movie will ROCK! And this is why: http://www.kill-bill.com/castCrew/cast-sc.html Quote

EXO Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 OMG... that is sooo awesome!!! Thanks Major! I needed that! Quote
bsu legato Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 My opinion on this movie just took a turn for the cynical. Take a look at this, just in from Dark Horizons: Empire Online spoke with Quentin Tarantino at the UK premiere of his sword-swashing epic and he was quite forthcoming on the DVD release of his film - revealing a sort of LOTR style approach will be made for the eventual discs: "I'm thinking about it big time already. I can't imagine a better movie when it comes to great DVD stuff. I'm gonna really play fair as far as the DVD's concerned, you know? We'll come up with separate DVDs for Volume 1 and Volume 2 and I'll do special stuff for each of those. Then we'll come up with a real big version with them both together but I won't repeat the special stuff I put on Volume 1 and Volume 2. I'll do something whole other from that. I might even do some other little movie thing just to go on that special double feature version". That's right, kids. If you want ALL of the special features, you have to buy ALL of the DVD releases. Quote
Capt Hungry Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Well, Flip QT. This movie looks interesting to me anyway............ I didn't really like The One, I think the movies Jet Li made in Hong Kong are better. Lord of the Wu Tang (and I am sure that I've probably spelled wrong) was the first HK kung fu movie that I ever saw. It totally rocked. Jacki Chan is always fun to watch, but there again, the older stuff is better IMO. Quote
Abombz!! Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Uma? Lucy? I wanna see this chick!!! Apparently she's the personal bodyguard for Lucy's character. Imagine that?

isamu Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 I actually used to own a Game of Death suit, as well as a chinese connection one Quote

I was kind of expecting more than 2 DVD releases per volume actually. I was hoping for a dual package set that included everything for a late 2004-2005 release and was willing to wait. However, this quote of his does upset me! Reminds me of when Fat Pete (Peter Jackson) said he was thinking to do another DVD release for each LoTR film and include other extras, specials and deleted scenes not contained in the extended versions. This raping of fans' wallets via DVDs has gone too far! It's worse when the directors openly admit to it! Quote
Ali Sama Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 saw it. fight scnes where cool. decent anime clip. go see it ali Quote
Mechwarrior Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Tarantino is alright. hes no Kevin Smith. but i will be checking this one out. looks pretty sweet.

Jemstone Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I'm going to see this tomorrow morning. There's a special viewing going on right now at the university but I can't make it to see it. Quote
Golden Arms Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I'm going 2nite. I missed yesterday's special premiere which had Gordon Liu doing a Q&A after the film. I had to work wed night. Quote

Hiriyu Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Smiley424 said... All I have to say is that the previews of this movie with the homage to Game of Death Bruce Lee, plus recently seeing what Game of Death was supposed to be as a movie makes me want to get a bright-ass yellow track suit (no way I can pull off the spandex). Dude, that was nearly word for word exactly what I was going to say, except that I'm not particularly thinking of getting that suit for myself Still, I think the tribute to Game Of Death is pretty cool. Not a huge Tarantino fan, but Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction were pretty good flicks anyway. Quote
EXO Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Not a huge Tarantino fan, but Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction were pretty good flicks anyway. So you one movie away from being a fan? Quote
Golden Arms Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I just got back from Kll Bill. It was an great Movie. A Very different sort of film from Tarantino, but similar to his other works. I loved the Rza's score. The fight scenes were great, the violence(good ole Ultraviolence). I loved his little homage to the 5 deadly venoms. BTW I didn't know that Chang Cheh and Lo Lieh were both deceased. I'm gonna have to pour outta little L for them. Quote
Gunbuster Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 These are the images of the anime in Kill Bill. Looks like same guys who did Blood Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 11, 2003 Author Posted October 11, 2003 Whoa. That certainly looks like Production I.G's handiwork........I guess that's supposed to be Lucy Liu in the bottom frame. B) Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 yep. thats O-ren's origin story, in anime. good stuff. the movie kicked ass. the fights were awesome, as was the music. great stuff. can't wait til February. Quote
Sephiroth Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Whoa. That certainly looks like Production I.G's handiwork........I guess that's supposed to be Lucy Liu in the bottom frame. B) The credits listed Production I.G. for the animation sequences. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 11, 2003 Author Posted October 11, 2003 Alrighty then. I just got back from the movie theater lemme tell ya.......you'll like this movie. B) I can't wait for Vol. 2............. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Saw it, the violence is a little overhyped, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun. They should have released the whole movie uncut - the previews felt longer than the movie itself! Quote
madmacks Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 sonny chiba is THE MAN! glad to see him get some screen time even though most of the viewing audience wont know who the heck he is.... Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 He rules. He's just about as cool as my favorite sushi chef. Quote
