Product description

The return of renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino after an absence of 6 years. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, one-fifth of a team of assassins called DiVAS. When she decides to get married and leave the outfit her boss, Bill (David Carradine), is not a happy man and gets her former colleagues to show up at the wedding; leaving behind a blood bath and The Bride shot in the head. Four years later, The Bride sets out on a journey of revenge which is ultimately to kill her former boss, Bill. The film was due to be three hours long but was split into two films (hence the name) and Volume 2 concludes the story.

Stand aside Bruce Lee for 'Uma Thurman'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2004

KILL BILL: VOLUME ONE is the long-awaited "4th Film" from director/writer Quentin Tarantino,I went to see this when it came out in cinemas back in October 2003 and I must say, I was very impressed. So impressed that I went straight back in to see it again. YES I THOUGHT IT THAT GOOD!
The Bride (Uma Thurman) is put into a coma after been badly wounded by her former boss, Bill (David Carradine) of the Deadly Vipers Assassination (D.V.A) squad. When she awakens from the coma, she vows to get her revenge. So she plans to take down the members of D.V.A first.
This is not as violent a film as people say. It's not for the faint-hearted nor the weak-minded. But this film has action!
One of the main highlights of the film is The Bride's fight during the climax which is done in well lit snow fall.
This is entertainment popcorn style film is a brilliant homage, this time to Kung Fu movies, Spaghetti Westerns, and action flicks generally. One breath-taking action scene after another steals your breath away. Terentino constantly keeps you off balance as the scenes are showen out of sequence.
"The Bride" (Uma Thurman) faces dozens of Yakuza henchmen, and single handedly defeats them, a la (JANE LEE), Terentino, never takes the story too seriously, and just gives you amazing spectacles of battle, and bizarre humour.
He keeps pushing the envelope further and further. "Watch this" he dares you, and you're hooked to the screen, as each scene is more bewildering, ridiculous, hilarious, OUTRAGOUS, then the last one. I bet you will watch the DVD again & again, I know I will.
If you don't like Chinese violent films why would you watch this then run the film down? What one judges violent others disagree.
This is all done tongue in cheek a homage to Chinese kung fu films. It worked for me perhaps it will not work for you, if you like Bruce Lee films this is for you. If you don't like Bruce Lee kung fu films then don't watch it.
Sadly we still await the release of the DVD & Kill Bill Vol II comes out in April.

Kill Bill Vol1 (superior to Vol2) is just a blast. At one point it goes into anime mode and tells the backstory of Oren Ishii (Lucy Liu), and how she becomes the person she is today. However, it occurred to me while watching it that Kill Bill Vol1 itself IS an anime! It's so cartoony, so over-the-top, so absurd and surreal, while at the same time watchable and believable. And let's face it, Uma Thurman is watchable in anything.

I didn't like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, though I did like that trashy bloodfest From Dusk 'til Dawn (it's odd how QT won't claim this movie as one of his whenhe wrote the screenplay AND starred in it). However, I DID like both volumes of Kill Bill. No question. Vol1 is marginally my favourite of the two, though Vol2 is still a worthy conclusion to the story. (Why didn't QT just make a 4 hour movie, stitching them both together as one? It's been done before).

Seriously, you'd have to be a dead to NOT enjoy this movie; just as long as you disengage your brain, and suspend your disbelief, which is often how a QT movie should be viewed.

Tarantino at his best.

For me 'Kill Bill' is one of those films that might fall flat if you show it to anyone for the first time in the modern day... But when it was released in the early 2000's it was such a unique piece of work... The unnecessary gore with an underlying dark comedy vibe. Vintage Tarantino and I regard these films as genius for their time.

CRAZY 88 IN COLOUR!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2015
Verified Purchase
This is the Japanese print of Kill Bill vol 1.
It's 16:9 & the picture stretches all the way
across a modern TV, the black bars at the top &
bottom of the screen don't annoy that much.
The picture quality is excellent & more importantly
i finally got to see THAT fight scene in colour (it's better
this way, trust me) red is everywhere.
There are quite a few extras & the menus in Japanese

(i would have been gutted had it been any other language!)
so it's just a matter of trial & error.
stop making cowboy films and get back to the other stuff

The part when the screen turns to black & white in the restaurant
battle scene, it stays in colour on this Japanese DVD.
Works on U.K Blu-ray/DVD players.
There's a bit more violence in other scenes too, Japanese DVD is the way to go.

The Film 5/5

I'm a big fan of Chungking Express and remember reading that Quentin Tarantino cries when he watches it because he loves it so much. That's how I feel when I watch the two Kill Bill movies. Within three minutes, I hear Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) and I'm transported into another world. It reminds me of what I'm in for. Every choice that Tarantino makes, from story, to dialogue and music, is absolutely perfect. I feel like he made this film with me in mind.

Uma Thurman was born to play the role of The Bride. I'm still not sure how she managed to keep a straight face as she spoke the dialogue.

It took me five years to bother seeing Kill Bill because I don't embrace things with senseless violence. The movie suggests extreme violence, but shows hardly any of it, just the result. The cuts are convincing and have the same effect as if you had seen the violent acts. I expected Thurman to prance around with a samurai sword, hacking people to pieces. In fact, she pretty much does, but there's so much more to the story.

First of all, she makes me care. Her back story makes her actions seem justified, but I also feel pity for O-Ren Ishii (Liu) when we see what happened to her when she was a child (brilliantly portrayed anime style). The film uses a number of tricks such as stills, black and white, slow motion, silhouettes, changing aspect ratios, and extreme close-ups. The pacing, humor, drama and action all seem to be woven together perfectly.

Kill Bill is a simple story of revenge. We learn in the opening scene that The Bride was shot in the head at her wedding rehearsal and spent four years in a coma as a result. The story isn't linear, so the first person we see her kill is actually second on her Death List. Although it reveals that she successfully killed O-Ren Ishii by showing a line through her name, none of the tension is lost when we are shown their epic battle.

We see The Bride recover from her coma and visit Japan in search of O-Ren Ishii. There's a great scene involving Sonny Chiba and we eventually see The Bride hunt down O-Ren Ishii and her minions. The showdown is approximately an hour long and it's intense. Thurman looks like she can handle a sword and stunt double Zoe Bell handles the more difficult scenes.

It's hard to think about the film without using the word perfect. The battle involves dozens of fighters as The Bride hacks her way through the obstacles standing between her and O-Ren Ishii. The contrast between those scenes and the final fight is stunning. Instead of being surrounded by a noisy mob, The Bride and O-Ren fight in a quiet setting. It's a very effective transition.

I always watch Kill Bill Vol. 2 after seeing Vol. 1 and think of it as one long film. If you think that the characters feel incomplete, the concluding volume fleshes them out and makes them seem a lot more real. This first installment contains most of the action and fans of that genre should be happy with the result.

Video Quality 5/5
Kill Bill Vol. 1 looks fantastic on Blu-ray, even though it was released in 2008. Detail is strong throughout, whether the image is in color or black and white. Colors are rich and accurate and black levels won't disappoint. I detected slight aliasing in one scene, but the overall presentation makes the film one of the best-looking live action films yet released on Blu-ray.

Audio Quality 5/5
The lossless English: LPCM 5.1 mix matches the excellent video quality. There's a lot going on and it's all separated well and presented accurately. Whether it's the sound of swords clashing during the intense battle scenes, dialogue, feet crunching on cereal, or Daryl Hannah whistling the theme from Twisted Nerve, you'll hear everything clearly.

Special Features 2/5

The extras are all presented in standard definition:

The Making of Kill Bill (22 minutes) - A decent feature with Tarantino and some of the cast and crew.

The 5, 6, 7, 8s Musical Performances (6 minutes) - Two songs from the band featured in the film.

Trailers - Six trailers for Tarantino's films.

As I said at the start of this review, Kill Bill is so good that I'm close to tears within three minutes. It's full of action and thrills, good music, and some of the funniest dialogue I have ever heard. I find myself watching both parts more than anything else in my collection and love every moment each time I give it a spin. It's guaranteed to make me grin for four hours. If you like action and intelligent humor, I challenge you to name a better movie.

Overall score 5/5

Juste un petite mise en garde pour les futurs acheteurs: lorsque vous commandez le blu-ray sur cette page, certains vendeurs tiers n'hésitent pas à vous envoyer la version "import langue française" alors qu'ils présentent l'article comme une édition TF1 classique. Méfiance donc...

Une femme présentée comme "la mariée" (Uma Thurman) sort d'un coma de plusieurs années aprés avoir été laissée pour morte par ses anciens collègues, au beau milieu de sa cérémonie de mariage. Elle était membre d'une équipe de tueurs nommée "le détachement international des Vipères Assassines", dirigée par un certain Bill (David Carradine).
Elle va donc faire le choix de la vengeance dès son réveil, en éliminant peu à peu tous les membres de l'organistion et enfin le chef, qu'elle se réserve pour la fin.

Le film est grandiose, avec cette première partie qui met l'intrigue en place et qui est la plus violente des deux.
Tout comme pour d'autres réalisateurs, le coté gore utilisé par Tarantino est parodié, il est utilisé pour que le spectateur rentre dans le délire, de même que l'alternance couleur/noir et blanc de l'image. Les allusions au cinéma des années 70 sont innombrables, comme les vétements de la mariée (ceux de Bruce Lee dans le Jeu de la Mort), la scène où elle marche sur un fond de soleil couchant en plein désert (générique de la série Kung fu)...
Les acteurs jouent tous remarquablement bien, Uma Thurman en tête, et même le casting des rôles secondaires est magique ( Michael Madsen, Gordon Liu...)
Bref, vous l'avez compris, un film qui vaut le détour, pour moi le meilleur Tarantino après Pulp Fiction.

En ce qui concerne le blu-ray, et donc l'édition TF1, c'est que du bonheur. L'image est magnifique, et le son
DTS-HD aussi bien en VO qu'en français est fabuleux. Je vous préviens de suite, réglez dès le début du film votre home-cinéma, ça envoie du très lourd !
