Yeah, Bill's death is great! It's possible when I first saw this I was disappointed that there wasn't more of a "final fight" but it totally made sense to me. Plus she'd already been through the sort of "samurai showdown" deal with O-Ren, it wouldn't be anything new. Maybe the idea is we've finally arrived at the last cult genre which Elle must face, and it's...a Tarantino movie! Everybody's just talking about pop culture and dying at inopportune moments.

At the time I was convinced the one-movie version would be way better. Not sure how I feel now, having not watched them in ages they seem pretty watchable and great in my memory, but I suspect there's enough flab that it could be made to kinda work, though at the expense of what I'm not sure. You could easily do a re-cut of these that dials it all down to a wacky comedy, and one that cuts all the laugh lines for something much more brutal and exhausting. Or it could primarily be a slow "hunt" kind of movie if the action scenes were all sliced down to their climaxes.

i'm sure i'll be a minority of one here, but i thought the kill bill movies were wretched. there's a grim, seedy joylessness that normally runs through tarantino's movies, but the grim, seedy joylessness here swallows-up the entirety of these two movies.

and i like grim movies! maybe i've just had enough of tarantino's particular style. he still writes good dialogue.

Baffled by the winner of this poll.

if this were deaths not fights bill would be the easy winner: nail in head, decapitation, etc., vs broken heart

the problem with the crazy 88 fight is thurman just doesn't move very well and that sequence exposes her limitations more than any other... its heart is in the right place though

i'm baffled that you people remember more than three scenes of a distended foot-fetish chopsocky movie.

a distended foot-fetish chopsocky movie.

colorful description! i had to look up "distended"(swollen due to pressure from inside; bloated). the rest i got.

his movies have been far less foot-fetish-y, and far more chopsocky-y, lately.

I'm A fan of the Bill fight too, it's swiftness after the length of the build-up is really well done. V2>>V1 imo.
