UN Spacy Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I know the movie won't be out for another week. But I've been hearing that Volume 2 of KILL BILL (which is due the first quarter of 2004) is going to feature anime. Do you guys know how much anime is going to be featured? Is it going to follow Uma Thurman's character? Well? B) Quote
KingNor Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 i dont' see why people are so excited by this movie. looks like another charlies angels to me. Quote
EXO Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Tarantino sucks!!! hehe, just kidding... I'm just waiting for all the Taratino bashers to appear. There will be anime sequences, maybe flash backs or just to flesh out the characters. Check out the website... http://www.kill-bill.com/ can't wait for this one... Quote
bsu legato Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) hehe, just kidding... I'm just waiting for all the Taratino bashers to appear. Tarantino sucks! There, are you happy now? No seriously, I liked Pulp Fiction but I still think he's a wee bit overrated. Relying on 70's retro can only get you so far. The best thing I've heard about Kill Bill so far is how overwhelmingly violent it is, which is not a bad thing per se, but I hope there's more to it that hack 'n' slash. But we can't deny the appeal of Uma and Lucy weilding katanas, can we? Edited October 1, 2003 by bsu legato Quote
BYG-DAMN Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I don't know why people get so hot for Lucy, there are more attractive asian actressess out there. However Uma, she is pretty hot. Tarnteno is overrated, yes his movies are good, but not that good, not good enough to worship him. All the scenes I've seen of this movie don't get me fired up nearly as much as any clip from Crouching Tiger or Drunken master. Crouching Tiger was finally how a martial arts story should be told, not more cheesey pop anime inspired ninja crap, we already have the matrix. Can't the genre be taken seriously? Lone wolf and cub movie? Mixing animation into a live action movie never works, never, I point to Tank girl and that Bill Murry/Chris Rock piece of trash who's name escapes me. Don't feed me pop culture and fancy razmataze, create it. Dammit, too many movies suck these days. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 i dont' see why people are so excited by this movie. looks like another charlies angels to me. Charlie's Angels movies don't have a mean bone in them. Kill Bill is a revenge movie, and Uma's character is out for blood. You'll know when you see what she does to her targets. Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I point to Tank girl and that Bill Murry/Chris Rock piece of trash who's name escapes me. Osmosis Jones... which blew. I don't know what to think about this movie. I loved Reservoir Dogs, I liked Pulp Fiction and I thought Jackie Brown was eehhh OK... I'll go see Kill Bill part 1 and decide if part 2 is worth seeing.

Murphy Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) i think this movie is comming out a couple of years too late, i mean back in 98'-99' i would be like "whoa that looks cool" but now after a crap loads of martial arts movies im like "oh god another movie with asians screaming "KIA!!" sounding like their tring to pass a kidney stone really turns me off from seeing this movie. p.s. i do really think its funny how david carridine(kung fu) is in the movie, i think he plays the main bad guy or something im not sure. Edited October 1, 2003 by Murphy Quote
JRock Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I don't care what yall say. I'm seein it. It has Gordon Liu, and Vivica Fox in it. And I like both of them. Quote
JRock Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 p.s. i do really think its funny how david carridine(kung fu) is in the movie, i think he plays the main bad guy or something im not sure. He plays Bill, yes. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Tarantino is alright. hes no Kevin Smith. but i will be checking this one out. looks pretty sweet. Quote
Jemstone Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 i think this movie is comming out a couple of years too late, i mean back in 98'-99' i would be like "whoa that looks cool" but now after a crap loads of martial arts movies im like "oh god another movie with asians screaming "KIA!!" sounding like their tring to pass a kidney stone really turns me off from seeing this movie.p.s. i do really think its funny how david carridine(kung fu) is in the movie, i think he plays the main bad guy or something im not sure. Is that what you think it is? Just something that's wannabe Azn to look cool? Uma and Tarantino have been working on this film since they filmed Pulp Fiction! Quote
Murphy Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 why yes that is what i think, except for the part you said "Just something that's wannabe Azn to look cool" i could care less if it was asian or not, im just saying that martail arts movies are getting old and hollywood should move on Quote

Actually they've talked about the idea for Kill Bill on the set of Pulp Fiction, but Taratino didn't get serious about it and sit down to write the script until fairly recently, when Uma reminded him about the idea.

I know. I'm just saying it's not something he came up with in 1999 when martial arts became "in" in Hollywood. The concept of it existe dlong before Hollywood seemingly went with martial arts madness. Quote
Gaijin Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I'll still see it when it come out. Uma and Lucy. Quote
Mr March Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I'm not really interested in seeing this film. Unfortunately, one of my friends is a Tarantino sheep and guess who will need to drive him and join him at the theatre? Quote
myk Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I don't know why people get so hot for Lucy, there are more attractive asian actressess out there. However Uma, she is pretty hot. Right. They should've used Tera Patrick. Of course, we couldn't have the villain looking better than Uma.... Quote

The rebirth of martial arts movies (or should we say the birth of Matrix-rip offs) were largely because of the popularity of the Matrix, which in itself was just a slight modernization of techniques use in Hong Kong cinema for a couple of decades. Jackie Chan's crap-tastic American movies certainly didn't help, nor did Jet Li's. <_< But Police Story is still amazing, gimme that over anything made in the past five years. Quote

Martial Arts will never fade away. Believe that. Quote
Golden Arms Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 I can't wait to see Kill Bill. Tarantino is a true fan of the Genre. His knowledge of Martial Arts films is really impressive. He isn't some Hollywood hack that knows nothing of the genre attempting to capitalize on the popularity of martial arts movies. So I have no concerns about him making a quality film. So temper your criticisms a little bit. I'd rather have a fan of the subject matter making a film of the source material than someone who knows little to nothing about it. The fact that Gordon Liu is playing ( Tarantino isn't without a sense of irony) Pei Mei is reason alone to see this film. Part of the film was also shot at the old Shaw Bros Studio in Hong Kong. I really hope he used the temple steps seen in Executioner from Shaolin. Quote
Ladic Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Anyone else see QT drunk at Jay Leno the other day? funny stuff. Quote
mikeszekely Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Taratino + stereotypes that further confuse Americans who think Chinese and Japanese are the same thing = monumentally bad movie. Quote

Martial Arts will never fade away. Believe that. And I liked Kiss of the Dragon! But my favorite Jet Li was High Risk. I think there's an R1 floating around under the name "Meltdown," but I have a Chinese DVD, so I'm not sure. Quote
Yohsho Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 I'll go watch it, not because its a Tarantino film or because it appears to have tons of fighting in it. Just because it has a bunch of Katana wielding schoolgirls. Plus I wanna go see a good revenge movie. Quote
Gubaba Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 Uma? Lucy? I wanna see this chick!!! Hands off! Chiaki Kuriyama is MINE! MINE, you hear?!? Quote
Commander McBride Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 My sources tell me that the first movie is about 1/6 anime. It's a quite long sequence. And the movie is supposedly pretty good, overall, too. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 I will see it because, anime + swordplay = me in the theatre. But I do agree, Tarantino is overrated, and the retro thing has been dead for years (thank insert deity here) Uma is too much of a dirty hippie for me, to consider her hot. Quote
Smiley424 Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 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). Quote
Millia Jenius 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. Quote
tom64ss Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 I really enjoyed Reservoir Dogs. I like Pulp Fiction but though it was WAY overrated. The short in Four Rooms was decent because of Tim Roth and the wager was over a 64 Malibu (it was Travolta's car in Pulp Fiction too) but I thought Tarantino was annoying as hell. Jackie Brown was marginal at best. Yeah I'll see Kill Bill, but I'm not expecting much. And yes, I think he's a decent director, but not as "amazing" as people make him out to be. He just knows what movie elements to "borrow" and he'll openly admit that nothing he does is "revolutionary" or original, just cool. Quote
EXO Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 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. Quote
