The movie spends 15 minutes making you think Budd is a failure that she’ll cut through like nothing, and he’s the one that came closest to finishing her and she never laid a finger on him or got retribution herself.
Broke his heart the first time for leaving and literally broke his heart the second time by making it explode. Uma deserved an Oscar for this.
I love the scene of her crying in the bathroom. She's been such a stoic determined character. She wasn't letting herself feel anything but her quest for revenge. And now that it's done she feels everything all at once
People were initially disappointed when this first came out because it lacked action, but when one considers both films as a one, it really does work.
Tarantino filmed Kill Bill as one long story, but Miramax split the 4 hour cut into Vol. 1 & 2 during the edit. There’s a combined version called The Whole Bloody Affair that edits both together and shows the Crazy 88 fight in full color instead of switching to black & white.
One of my favorite things about this film is that she kills a hundred people in part 1, but in part 2 she only kills one, Bill.
RIP David Carradine, Michael Parks, Sid Haig and Michael Madsen. All really enjoyable actors.
Fun fact, Tarantino's movies are all in the same universe and timeline. The Paula Shultz grave is linked to Django unchained. This is the grave of Dr. King Schultz's wife that died a few years prior to the events in Django.
This is one of those movies I can watch over and over
