The insane blood sprays are actually an homage to a classic Japanese samurai film, “Sanjuro” by Akira Kurosawa, in which a blood bag ruptured during a duel causing it to spray like a fountain. Kurosawa kept it in the film, and that effect has been replicated and paid tribute numerous times in film history since.
Glad someone else mentioned it! Iconic!
It's a mistake that essentially changed the visual identity of samurai movies lol
the first time i saw the effect honored was by The Bride
Iconic
The second time , was by Wednesday Addams
Also . Iconic
Lady Snowblood
I think it was put in this movia as an homage to the movie(s) Lady Snowblood (also a great movie)
My favorite bit of Kill Bill lore is that Oren and The Bride were best friends. This is why the bride knows her entire life story and can tell it to us step by step, and that's why they have little inside jokes that they finish like the "trix are for kids line". This is also why she apologizes and the Bride actually accepts it. Also at the end when she finally kills Oren she barely looks at the body because she doesn't wanna look at the body of the woman that used to be her best friend.
I've never thought about it that way but it makes so much sense!
Thank you. As I look back on this movie series it occurs to me she knew all of these people. She didn’t just work with them. She knew them and was friends with all of them. They then tried to end her. Truly sad.
Damn that’s so sad
What a great post. I've seen these two movies I dunno how many times and I never thought about the fact that she did know so much about Oren's life compared to the rest of them. The inside jokes thing also fits a lot, and just their whole demeanor together. Hmmm. Great stuff.
Are you….lol okay. Yeah, that’s different. Show your source, because that is NOT how the deadly viper assassination squad operated.
Bill intentionality kept the members in a state of paranoia and antagonism through his wannabe puppet master ways.
I’m afraid you’ve built your own narrative here, because Tarantino has never made this claim in any serious way.
Fun fact since Natalie mentioned it. Tarantino's proposed Kill Bill 3 would in fact be about Vernita's kid getting revenge on the Bride.
Part of me would love if this was the final Tarantino film.
he announced his final movie will be called "The Movie Critic" set to be released in 2025 with Brad Pitt
But pei mei being dead means she wouldn’t get nearly as good training
many want zendaya as the daughter
It'd be interesting if they took a narrative route of "ending the cycle of violence" for a third movie.
the scene where O-ren has a "spidey sense" there's a layered sound of her screams as a child from the animated sequence. Although this is a great action film, it still references trauma and violence at a young age. she was literally the youngest in the squad; if she did not have that self-preservation instinct, she would not have lasted as long as she did the way that she did.
One of my favorite details of Kill Bill Vol 1 was Hattori's assistance is snarky and back talks in the restaurant, but becomes completely stoic and reverent as Hattori's assistant with during the sword scenes.
I think he knew what the sword was 4 and was all in.
@@MitchClement-il6iq The traditional swordsmithing process has Shinto rituals built into it. It's traditionally believed that the sword kami or spirit enters the blade during this time and the area, smiths and material must be purified. The smith often fasts or adheres to a strict diet during the forging process. The paper banners in the background show they were following the Shinto practices. The assistant was reverent because creating a sword and then presenting it is a religious event.
her name is revealed in the first movie, but most miss it. its on her plane ticket to Japan
“God will be cut” was one of the best lines ive heard in a movie in a long time
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I think he used “Kami” 18:29 which could be god/spirit/divinity not “Ookami” great/supreme God or “Ten-pu/shu/tei” Heavenly Father/Lord/Ruler.
Point still stands though: epic line!
Nah that's dumb
@@mon0theist_tv i mean to each their own
To mostly quote an animated version of Tarantino about why Uma’s character name is bleeped: “When Bill killed her husband and her baby and her whole family, he killed her identity.”
The yellow outfit is inspired by a jumpsuit Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death
Her fake identity, really.
Thanks I always wondered why. I always just thought it was a Tarantino flourish.
Her name is revealed in the second film.
@@RichardFay I think it's said a time or two in Volume 1, but we didn't know her name, so thought it was just a nickname. Like Buddy.
There are (were?) talk about a sequel to the Kill Bill movies. Black Mamba's daughter, and another characters child searching for revenge. Shame it never got made.
When Oren tells her "you might not last five minutes", the fight lasts for 5 minutes and 2 seconds from when the music starts, to when she deals the final blow.
"I want him to know I WANT him to know" such an epic line imo.
She let Sophia live not only to give Bill a message, but also because Sophia didn’t take part in beating her up. Sophie was just there and witnessed it.
One of the coolest attention to detail moments is when she wakes up from the coma and the guys are approaching. Throughout the previous scene her heart was racing, but when she hurriedly lays back down her heart rate goes back to resting. Shows how good she is since she can control her own heart rate.
I've never seen a movie where it was like every scene, every frame, every line of dialogue felt so electrifying. Almost every movie I watch has a scene you feel like you can miss after the first or second watch. Every scene in this movie feels endlessly rewatchable.
I love Quentin's use of soundtrack music from the 60s and 70s. I recognize some but not all of it. I was so happy that he was able to work with the master, Ennio Morricone before he passed.
18:28 it's funny how Katanas have gotten such a big reputation in the nerdverse, considering the reason the Japanese sword making is so unique (the method of folding the iron many many times to strengthen it) is that the iron ore avaliable in Japan is terribly bad. the end result really isn't much stronger than traditional european steel.
A prime example of Japan's greatest export being skilled labor
Folding the iron doesn't give strength but gets rid of impurities which does increase strength. Every fold the do try to add carbon to strengthen the metal.
Fun fact. Uma described the plot of this movie in the restaurant scene in Pulp Fiction.
She describes the assassin group not the plot but yeah it’s cool
I never noticed! Goddamnit! XD
Fun Fact too: Quentin and Uma were writing the character of the Bride when they had lunch together everyday while shooting Pulp Fiction.
That's why the credits had "Based on the Bride written by Q & U"
Not a fact and certainly not “fun”. The Fox Force Five story in “Pulp Fiction” is not the same group as the Deadly Viper Assassin*tion Squad in “Kill Bill”, despite what internet rumors say. Budd is not female and he is the 6th member. Sofie Fatale is not an active member of the team either, she doesn’t do any of the killing.
But it's just like what TV executives would turn the Vipers into for a show.
One of my favorite movies of all time! When the song with the clapping & guitar kicks off right when she takes the first step into the snow (Uma Thurman's character and Lucy Lu's battle commences) is one of the best building into the action scenes in my opinion.
Santa Esmeralda. Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.
czcams.com/video/uvXeeus94GY/video.htmlsi=Q8X3tF-UojY3qLd0
This movie really cemented Tarantino's genius for me. Just a total masterpiece of cinematography, music and filmmaking.
One of my favorite things about this film series is that the members of the assassin squad are all D(i)VAS! Just love that little joke
The deadly venoms! If you know you know
For people that loved this, give Blue Eye Samurai a watch. It's a similar premise of a swordswoman getting revenge for having her life ruined, with similarly fantastic action scenes and dialogue.
And one very clear musical homage.
Binged it in 2 days..was awesome
Fuck yeah
Kill Bill is loosely based on the japanese film Lady Snowblood. Tarantino pays homage to the film by having O-ren dressed in all white during her battle with the Bride and the song that plays afterward is sung by Meiko Kaji, the actress who originally played Lady Snowblood.
"Loosely" doesn't begin to cover it.
The B&W segments were partly to appease the censors over the amount of violence and gore. I have the Japanese release of the movie and entire battle against the Crazy 88 is in colour.
I think I’d actually prefer the greyscale. It’s a neat stylistic choice which makes the scenes more standout over time than they would be if they were just another blood fest in a long line of movie blood fests.
yeah it's quite iconic@@AzarathMetreon
So that didn't pay off or what? Because the uncut version of this movie is rated R in most countries (with their equivalent rating systems). And it doesn't really make sense, because there is a LOT of violence still in color. Was that really the reason?
@@Riddler0603I think it was the difference between ‘a lot’ and ‘way too much’ … It’s been a long time since watching all the behind the scenes and interviews but the censors were being really stubborn and told him to tone it down (I think they were trying to avoid an NC-17 rating - there was a lot of back and forth going on appease the ratings) so he then proposed putting some scenes in B&W because he wasn’t going to cut out scenes and suddenly they were fine with it. Home distribution ratings and censoring doesn’t matter as much, but the main goal was keeping it R for theatre release. NC-17 cuts down on theatrical screenings by a lot plus it cuts down audience viewership. So that was the main “pay off”.
The MPAA has always been about obscure guidelines so they can bully filmmakers. This Film Is Not Yet Rated did a fantastic job of documenting it and it's quite entertaining.
Fun Facts About Katanas Like The Bride’s:
1) Ancient Samurai used to test the sharpness of their katanas by testing them on human bodies. So back then If you were guilty of a crime like theft they would cut off your hand but I have more serious crimes they would cut you in half. If the sort cut through one body cleanly with one strike it would be called a one body blade. Yeah throughout history there have been 2 body, 3 body, and in a museum in Japan there is a 5 body blade!
2) The purpose of spinning the sword after a kill is so the blood lubricates the blade, making the next slash cut deeper and more cleanly.
3) Hattori Hanzō (the man who forged the sword for The Bride) was a real life ninja from Feudal Japan. Known as one of the best tacticians and sword fighters that ever lived.
Fun Fact: The Lead Sound Designer of this film was The Rza, Producer and founder of The iconic Hip Hop group Wu Tang Clan. Rza and Tarantino's joint appreciation for cult movies shows in how accurate the sound and FX were applied.
RZA razor RZA razor sharp.
The anime sequence of O-REN backstory is directed by Kazuto Nakazawa with the studio “production IG” that worked on it as well. He also directed the music video of Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park. (Which is my favorite lol)
I never knew that! That's cool!
Thanks for the info. This is great work.
Did they by any chances made one of the shorts for the Animatrix? I'm just now noticing how the animation has very similar vibes
I was literally about to go see who made that sequence because the animation style looked just like the music video lol I love his animation.
@@cangaroojack he actually did work key animation on two. A detective story and Kid’s story.
In a bunch of the older Chinese Kung Fu movies, they would fly around. The look on your face when Bill said does she know her daughter is alive.
I’m SO GLAD you’re finally getting to Kill Bill! There are so many aesthetic choices in this and its sequel that the films practically have style to burn! Costuming, sound design, music choices, et al.
Fun fact about the scene with the Crazy 88: Tarantino was told that the scene was far too graphic and bloody in its original form, and would yield an NC-17 rating instead of R, which would affect the number of screens that could show it in theaters in the US, Canada, China, and Taiwan. To get around that, he had his editors make a simple change: cut the scene to Black & White at a contextually opportune moment in the sequence. Thankfully, they were creative with the when, and the change to Black & White for a few minutes (as well as the lights being turned off and seeing silhouettes later) actually made sense and added a bit more stylistic flare, as many assumed it was just solely a creative choice. Clever!
Tarantino's language in the storytelling, details music and sound are tip top in this movie. So good and really enjoyed this in the theater
The dramaticized amount of blood is deeply inspired in many anime and action films by an iconic accident that happened during filming of Sanjuro by director Akira Kurosawa. The blood spray effect for a scene was supposed to have a good spout of blood during a fight scene, but something happened with the hose and apparatus so it expended almost the entirety of the fake blood in a massive gush like we see here.
It's also hilariously used in the stake scene in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. The amount of blood spray is just comical.
Great music in this film. The actress who played Gogo was also in another classic film Battle Royale.
Having watched the original “Kung Fu” series, my father and I knew from the voice who Bill was actor wise and yet it was still bad ass not to see his face til the second movie.
The fight with O-Ren is very much in the style of samurai movies.
For classic movies, watch _12 Angry Men_ (the black and white 1950s one).
Whole movie takes place in one jury room, where the guys can't leave until they come to a decision on whether or not a kid is guilty of a crime.
The movie is the classic example of a simple premise written well with colorful characters and timeless philosophical arguments. Still holds up to this day.
oh HELL YES!
"The Bride" is one of the best action heroes you'll ever see
Nope chow Yun fat.
The timing of that "so much blood spray" was pretty, well, golden.
29:20 O-Ren did very well in this duel. But we also have to consider The Bride was very tired.
The Bride was taught by both Bill and at least one other master of martial arts. She is dang near the right hand of Death herself. She is still human and mortal but if given a chance, she can end anybody!!
Had The Bride not had to fight the Crazy 88 beforehand, I think this duel would not have lasted so long.
Oh hell yeah! The Kill Bills are my favorite of Tarantino’s work. I remember sitting in the theater and getting hit with that Vol. 1 cliffhanger. One of my favorite cinema moments/memories.
Tarantino's films to me are like DJ mixtapes. He takes so many references from other films and makes masterpieces with them in his own way. Pure genius. Are you planning to react to all of Tarantino's movies? My favorite film of his in terms of out-of-sequence filming is Jackie Brown. My other favorite is The Hateful 8. I only watched it once and loved it, but I can't watch it again because of how intense it is.
It's pretty interesting that chapter 1, the fight with vernita green, was actually the last scene chronologically in the movie. The whole movie is a flashback up to that point.
Everybody knows that.
“I guess they hired a new nurse? She has one eye and is a noticeably accomplished whistler.”
That final battle in the club is one of the best cinematic action scenes of all time
Years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend a screening here in Philadelphia of Tarantino's own personal uncut print of Kill Bill on the big screen. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Vol 2 is a very satisfying conclusion!
7:43 There were talks of a third movie happening where Vernita's daughter would get revenge on the bride and she'd get trained by Elle Driver when she grew up.
Personally, I hope they stop with 2 films. (Of course, I felt the same way about Godfather story, but. . . . . )
Still love the spin in the chair 😂
Agreed
She does it best!
Hi Natalie the flying jumps are adopted from wuxia-- "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" (2000) was popular in the US, but Tarantino was probably watching stuff like "A Touch of Zen" (1971)
Fight choreography for this and Crouching Tiger was done by Yuen Woo-ping. Wire work is his style.
When Natalie and Primate both upload the same movie 😱😱😱😱 LIT!!
29:30 I studied katana style sword fighting for seven years in my youth (so long ago now). I had a 'secret' technique that I only used a few times, so it would remain secret. It never failed to win a match. I never saw anyone else use or demonstrate my secret technique, until this movie, where the Bride used it on O-Ren Ishii to make the match again equal. To say that I was surprised, gratified and thrilled would be an understatement.
There were a fair number of Hollywood stunt professionals in our number back then. It is just remotely possible that one of them saw my technique, and needing a good 'holy F#@& where did that come from' technique, remembered mine. Of course it is more probable that a better swordsman than I had figured out my trick independently. But an old man is allowed his fantasies, that the bride won her duel because she had learned my secret technique.
What is the move, it looks like a combined 360 spin / duck with full extension of the sword arm only....or something?
I can see how non-kendo that would be.... :D
@@rolandcooke You've got it right. It is a sacrifice all-or-nothing move because it leaves you incredibly vulnerable if it doesn't work. You really only want to use it when you know your opponent is cutting high. You drop like a rock straight to the ground. As you do you spin 360 degrees to your strong hand side and strike bottom up with a single hand. The spin while you drop however transfers into the strike so despite being a one hand blow, it is very strong. The strike rises through the opponent's guard on their weaker side (defensively) from the ground, which is inately harder to defend against. If you've done this while they have executed a high cut on you, they effectively have no way to defend against it other than somehow seeing it coming and maybe jumping out of it's way.
Kill Bill is my favorite movie ever!!! Never thought Natalie would watch it
One of my favourite movies💯
Example of why you are my favorite reactor channel: You caught the bowling strike sound when GoGo fell down!
I'm very excited for you to do more classic films, i hope you accept some slightly more under the radar masterpieces.
You are so very good at discussing some important filmmaking topics after the film ends like the music and acting etc. I know you have a background in the industry, hope to hear more from you in this way :)
I hope this all made sense i'm a bit high right now and i'm i feel like i've been typing this message for like 3 hours... ok bye
Kill Bill is a top 10 of all time and my favorite Tarantino film.
These are my two favorite Tarantino movies. I don't ever get tired of them, and watch them every couple of years or so. They're SO good. I love seeing people discovering them or, in your case re-discovering them.
YES YES YES YES!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! Omg I haven’t even started watching yet but I’m so excited!
God I wish they’d make a 3rd kill bill where Vivica’s daughter is grown and is seeking revenge showing the cycle of vengeance we truly ends. It would be awesome if Uma Thurman’s daughter would play a role too. Maybe she’d be in 4 to avenge her mother if Vivica’s daughter takes Black Mamba out 🤔
Isn't Thurman in her 60s, now?
Her yellow outfit with black stripes was an homage to Bruce Lee’s classic outfit in his movie “Game Of Death”, a great and classic look!
Badd medicine just dropped Edge of Tomorrow, Reel Rejects have 30 days of Night and now Nat has Kill Bill... a reaction FEAST this Tuesday evening!! I think its gonna be Swords, Mechs, Teeth, in that order.
As a Japanese-speaker I adore the Hattori Hanzo scene. She starts with all the basic tourist kind of talk, not even saying the Rs or Os correctly; and then outta nowhere she drops native-level killer talk. And she isn't saying it as a direct translation; she's saying it as a swordsman would say it "Because there is a rat I need to cut." Not the kind of phrasing you get from a dictionary.
And the way he immediately figures out exactly who she is and why she's there, and is like "so I have to make you a sword now" is perfect.
_What?_
Her japanese is not 'native-level' dude, her pronunciation and intonation is absolutely atrocious.
This movie was my introduction to Tarantino. I absolutely loved this movie. How crazy the stunts were and how over the top the gore was. I can’t wait for 2.
Good reaction. The yellow tracksuit was an homage to Bruce Lee 😉
One of my favorite movies, great reaction
The animated samurai guy with the white tuxedo is a young bill!
reallly a good one right here. cant wait for vol 2
If you want to do more classic movies please consider "12 Angry Men" (1957). Outstanding timeless film.
Surfs Up deserves more CZcams reactions !
She'd love Surf's Up
@@samwallaceart288 indeed!
Really appreciate that you're going to focus on more films this year. I love the TV series reactions, but as you said there is such a massive catalog of films to catch up on. I'll be voting in the Patreon polls!
I’m so excited for this
SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Her yellow body suit is a nod to Bruce Lee as he wore one in enter the dragon. The movies are Quentin's appreciation of Japanese cinema which inspired him as a kid.
I F LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH! Ty for watch the way you do.
23:42 This fight is totally unrealistic by normal movie standards. This is partly due to the almost magical nature of one of the Bride’s teachers.
But also remember that in the universe in which all Quentin Tarantino movies co-exist, Kill Bill is actually a martial arts film series playing at the theater.
Essentially the characters in his other movies would be watching this in their spare time.
About time lol. All QT movies are a must!! Let’s go!!
I could watch this movie daily. B fighting Gogo and O Ren will forever be my favorite scenes.
Music and Score for this movie was mostly done by RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan.
One of my favorite movies, so perfectly done. Thanks for the reaction.
Have you considered watching "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"? Fun movie with a stacked cast. (Kinda like how Scott Pilgrim was) And a very devoted cult following.
I absolutely adore this movie!
Love this film.,definitely in my top 10 films
I remember when I first watched this movie, I loved it so much I went out and got the second movie and watched it the same night! I could not even wait to the next day. The end was such a huge cliff hanger! and the fight with O'ren is possibly my favorite fight scene in a movie. Such a masterpiece.
One of my favourite lines from Kill Bill Vol.1 is after the Crazy 88 fight and the bride says “Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now. EXCEPT YOU, SOFIE!”
They way she yells at Sofia always cracks me up 😂
Found your channel from the Invincible vid, and you’ve quickly become my fav CZcamsr. Love the content 🫶🏽
Since you Django Unchained reaction I was SURE we wouldn't get a Kill Bill commentary, so seeing your upload on my feed was such a welcomed surprise!
Love this film and I'm glad we get to experience these highlights with you 💛💛💛
Keep spinning Natalie!
What a classic, watched it so many times, still can't get tired
Hi Natalie hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Tyler thank you for the edit the animation note hade me laughing
If I may make a request.
Harlem Nights starring Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.
Great film with an all star cast.
Can already foresee this being an amazing reaction.
My Favorite Movie ❤❤
I love your reactions! Clicked the like b4 im even about to watch the video :)
A fun documentary to watch is Double Dare, about 2 stunt women - the one for Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman Jeannie Epper, and Zoe Bell, who worked on Xena TV show, and, during the documentary, becomes Uma's stunt double for Kill Bill.
Watching this is so much fun.and the twist about her daughter being alive: priceless
Can't wait for Vol.2! 😁
11:30 My Thoughts Exactly!!! It's incredible how she can tell that it's been 4 years!!!
Thank you)
Nice! This will be fun.
The most stylish movie ever! 🥰
This movie has so much Kurowsawa energy. Has she ever watched any of those?
I do not believe so?
The Hattori Hanzo scene in this movie is one of my favorite scenes of any movie ever. The spoken and unspoken communication, the music, the setting... it's just so good. I love how there is this idea that Hanzo owes Kiddo something because Bill was his student, and she Bill's. That idea that because Bill caused her so much pain, that some of that pain is Hanzo's responsibility because Bill couldn't have done that without his influence, even if historic. And not only that she feels this way, but that he ultimately agrees to help her gain her revenge as retribution for his role. It is just masterful.
You are everything i loved your reaction!
Can’t wait for the follow up
