Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Commentary 

When you combine the two Volumes, it officially becomes Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.

Bill made her think that her daughter was dead - to teach her a lesson. He said "making someone think that someone they love is dead is very cruel." That's what Beatrix did to Bill originally.

Paula Schultz -- the grave that the Bride was buried in -- was the widow of Dr. King Schultz... as in Christoph Waltz's character in "Django Unchained".

Fun fact: Michael Madsons hat infuriated Tarantino for some reason, he repeatedly asked him not to wear it yet Madson refused and so he wrote it into the script that he had to take it off. He spoke about this in an Opie and Anthony interveiw years ago.

The sunglasses weren't a disguise. The sunglasses were because the lights hurt her eyes. She hasn't used them in years.

David Carradine (Bill) starred in a TV series, "Kung Fu", as a martial arts phenom long before this movie was made.

"We better get to see her use the sword." Me: Oh, you have no idea. 😎😎😎

The scene where Beatrix spits at the investigator to let him know she's alive, is reminiscent of the true story of Roy Benavidez. Roy was a Green Beret in Vietnam, and was so grievously injured in a rescue mission/hours-long firefight, that when he was brought back to his fire base, he was pronounced dead by the medics. He was being zipped into a body bag, when he spit at the doctor. After a long period of recovery, during which his doctors told him he would never walk again, he returned to his unit, and continued so serve as a Green Beret. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I think Tarantino put the anime scene into his movie as the origin story because he respects anime and manga are part of Japanese culture and Oren Ishi is a Japanese character.

1:28 I used to think that revenge is a dish best served cold, but then I realized it meant getting back at somebody. (RIP Norm Macdonald)

Y'all didn't notice. The airplane seat armrests had receptacles for swords, just as the motorcycle seats do. It's an alternate universe where swords are common.

I laughed so hard when Simone asked if there were going to be 88 of O'Ren's gang. That entire conversation with Budd is so perfect.

Fun fact Gordon Lau played three characters in Kill Bill vol 1. He was the leader of the Crazy 88, the assistant in the Japanese tea house, and Master Pei Mai

So happy you recognised the Clan of the White Lotus reference and the significance of Gordon Liu in the scene! My favorite wuxia homage ever!

If you guys haven't seen From Dusk Till Dawn, I highly recommend it. Written by Tarantino, directed by Robert Rodriguez. Effects by Tom Savini, who also has a small character in it, but a very memorable one. Also, I looked up the actress who played BB. She also played Sandman's daughter in Spider-Man 3 and Tarantino cast her in a small part in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

It was more than just a relationship thing... more than that she quit. Remember he's angry also that she pretended at first that she was dead, plus she didn't tell him that he was going to be a father. I think that last part is key. That's why he chose to raise the child because he really wanted a daughter and felt like Beatrix was stealing her from him.

There is a generally accepted theory that this film is not set within the usual Tarantino-verse, that it is instead what a movie within that universe looks like, hence everything being dialled up even past usual Tarantino standards. Indeed, it even reads as a soft reboot movie of the TV series Uma Thurman describes in Pulp Fiction: The team, besides Mia Wallace's character, had four other women: Somerset O'Neil, the team's leader; a Japanese kung fu master; a black girl, the demolition expert; and a French girl, whose "specialty was sex."

I love how excited George gets when we first see Pai Mei (and so cool that he tells us what that name means. I've seen this many times and I didn't know). I know how i feel when a character in a film I'm watching is from Milwaukee, and they speak English lol mostly...

I'll gladly sit through these again with you two.

58:00 The young actress playing B.B. is still acting. She was in "Steve Jobs" as Steve Jobs's daughter, and she was also one of the Spahn Ranch girls in Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

"Like some mystical revenge...granted your body back to get revenge" - check out Brandon Lee in 'The Crow' "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids" I always assumed this was meant to show the characters were once close friends and had those common interactions where they'd finish each other sentences they knew each other so well.

I took a 14 day cruise in China and Japan in ‘06 and listened to this sound track the whole cruise. Every time I hear this music I remember my trip.

You guys are lucky. I remember watching this in theatre and the ending of the most movie was such a cliffhanger. Having to wait an entire year for the sequel was infuriating lol.

Chalk outlines do not indicate death. They are placed when a victim is still alive and needs to be removed from a crime scene. The outline is to indicate where the victim was, for evidentiary purposes.

I didn't know we we're watching a comedy....

Classic movies and a great reaction. Love the double-feature format on these, they really do require it (even though we had to wait back in the day). Also, George's apparently significant background knowledge of Martial Arts Film History as well as Chinese dialects really added to the experience (since the knowledge I hold on these subjects is pretty much squat). 😉👍 And one last time, for Quentin...🦶👣🦶🐾

Fantastically well edited, George

Interestingly, the names of the "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad" Members fit perfectly with the character of each. The "Cottonmouth" (AKA Water Moccasin), hides in the trees dropping on it's prey unaware and striking; a perfect description of the sneaky assassin O'Ren Ishii. The "Copperhead" tends to only attack when threatened like we saw Vernita Green do in her kitchen with the gun in the box of cereal Budd, or "Sidewinder" lures our heroine into a false sense of security, much like the sidewinder snake uses it's tail to lure prey within striking range. California Mountain Snake (or Kingsnake) is a harmless, non-venomous snake that mimics the coral snake in appearance. It's was an interesting choice for the vindictive Ellie Driver, but perhaps she was the least of the squad and was given that name because she is all bravado, but no venom. Obviously, the "Black Mamba" is one of the deadliest snakes in the world, known for being a fearless and relentless predator.

I will always love Bill's line about Superman.

I watched each separate reaction, and yet, here I am, watching your long reaction on a Sunday night, unable to look away until it's done. Damn you both! 🤣

I just wanted to say that Quentin does make these films for us. The nobodies like you said at the end. He would totally appreciate our approval as fans. Why do they go on set? “Because we love making movies” is what they say on set all the time.

While Kill Bill Vol. 1 was filming, Uma Thurman had her baby daughter with her. The costume ladies from Hong Kong (?) made her baby a matching yellow jumpsuit.

These movies are amazing. And volume 2 has the coolest end credits ever.

Pai Mei teaches NO ONE the 5 point etc etc technique; but he teaches it to Beatrix and she used it to kill Bill; Vihaio considered Bill a son, but he betrayed Bill's whereabouts, and she found Bill and killed him; Hanzo swore an oath never to make another sword, but he broke it for Beatrix so she could kill Bill. Bill's father figures don't seem to be very pleased with how Bill turned out!

Weird thing for me is how Kiddo's daughter was completely unfased by the death of Bill, her father, with whom, I assume, she lived all her life

You probably have already researched this but, -Kill Bill, and the backstory of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, are based on Fox Force Five from Pulp Fiction. Fox Force Five was itself a reference to Charlie's Angels, and behind the scenes Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman came up with an idea of, "What if one of the Angels/Foxes left the team, but 'Charlie' wouldn't let that happen and kills everyone at the wedding, so she goes on a revenge spree?" -Quentin Tarantino said in the Volume 2 commentary that he went out of his way for The Bride to have a happy ending. Most likely, the pregnancy and daughter story element was introduced to the story for that purpose. But it also makes The Bride's motivations more justifiable, because they are more selfless--she left the Squad for the same daughter that she seeks to avenge. -Since Tarantino apparently intended an unhappy end for The Bride, the character arc of Shoshanna Dreyfus is most likely Tarantino's recycle of his original idea for The Bride's fate, prior to screenwriting.

I loved how happy George was through the whole Pai Mei (sorry for spelling it wrong if I did) training section! I would love a chance to sit and chat with you about your upbringing George! Love ya guys! Keep on doin this content! It's a blast!

Pai Mei said Beatrix's arm belonged to him now, so really he took both of Elle's eyes

The song that opens the movie is "Bang, Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down". One of the first things BeeBee says to The Bride is "Bang Bang!"

I havent searched the comments. But the actor of Pai Mai is the same guy which played the main role in "The 36 chambers of Shaolin". Of course he was WAYYYYYY younger then :)

Interesting to know that during this time Disney owned Miramax (and the Weinsteins left claiming Disney was bullying them--how ironic--taking Dimension with them and creating The Weinstein Company.) So technically Disney still owns Miramax films made during Disney's ownership (along with Dimension films -like the Scream series and The Crow-- before the Weinsteins took Dimension when they left. Which makes Kill Bill 1 &2 and Pulp Fiction Disney films.

A beautiful film in full Tarantino style. Charismatic characters, action, violence, twists and turns, soundtrack, references to past films.

Breh. Simone. Your intros, and George's reactions to it, are the reasons I keep coming back. XD

Hey George you are right about the Yellow Jumpsuit that Uma Thurman wore. Quentin was a big fan of Bruce Lee

Terrific reaction. For the record, I have been subscribed for quite some time because I think you two are great.

"The Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei" is definitely one of the BEST flashbacks in any movie ever!!! PAI MEI: Let's see how good you really are. Try and land a blow. If you land a single blow, I'll bow down and call you master.

26:15 - direct reference to Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo

I love that Simone's first thought is that it could be Sci-Fi.🤣😂🤣

I love how you coupled both chapters into 1. Thank you for that you 2

SO GOOD , Can't believe it's not in your best reviews of the year

I love that in volume one she kills a million people, but in volume two she kills exactly one..

I lost it at "she's basically using a shardblade" lol

So great you show this combined as a single film.

Hanzo is played by Sonny Chiba a Japanese action film legend. China also mentored Hiroyuki Sanasa who has appeared in multiple American films like Mortal Kombat, the Last samurai and recently John Sick 4

Love how you caught so many references!!!

I love the soundtrack. What you call “the Kill Bill music” is actually Quincy Jones’ theme from the ‘60s Raymond Burr TV series “Ironside.” He also famously uses another ‘60s TV theme, Al Hirt’s fantastic “The Green Hornet.”

I applaud you for doing both of them in one sitting!

I love so much that you guys watched both movies together! Thanks!

Tarantino also directed a 2 parter episode of CSI where one of the CSI members gets buried alive. Amazing episode

The music when she went to Japan was from the tv show the Green Hornet 1966

I feel like I seen this review, and I did. twice now

I get to watch George swoon over Pai Mei again? count me in.

22:23 The Kill music is the theme from "Ironside", a 70s network TV series about a wheelchair-bound detective starring Raymond Burr.

Using the assistant for info. on the current whereabouts of the remaining three vipers makes sense, but there's also geographical convenience: she had to go to Japan for the sword.

The thumbnail (though toenail might be more appropriate in this case) made me spill my coffee laughing. 😂

I'm hereby recommending Tom Tykwer's "Run Lola Run" for a film with animated segments. And more with Lucy Liu: "Shanghai Noon" & "Payback".

So fun to watch it with someone that has a knowledge of the homage and language. Thanks George!

Tarantino films are just so unique and I'm so happy they exist. In a time right now where most 'mainstream' movies don't have a lot of style, you can count on him to make some of the most interesting and beautiful films to exist in modern cinema. It's a breath of fresh air compared to 90% of movies that were being made from 2000-2020.

OMG!!! I love you guys. I am just now discovering this channel and instantly subscribed after watching only one of yalls videos (this one) You two are amazingly funny and are the perfect comedic match. ohh, I wonder of Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah's character) is still screaming and trashing around on Budd's bathroom floor or did the Black Mamba bite her already ..lol.

This is perfect, I had already watched both of your videos for this film but I was considering going back and rewatching them for fun. But now I can watch both videos together in one video! I really enjoy your Godfather reactions and rewatch them on occasion so I would certainly welcome the Godfather films getting the Omnibus treatment! 😁

The flute Bill is playing outside the wedding chapel is the one David Carradine used to play on the TV show "Kung Fu".

When Bud said she deserved it he meant that she was a murderer, same as the rest of them. Beatrix is definitely a sympathetic protagonist but she's nothing even close to a hero.

I find it very satisfying to hear Simone make the exact same little oohs and aahs in the showdown, as Patricia Arquette's Alabama does in the beginning of True Romance, while watching a Sonny Chiba (Hattori Hanzo) movie. 😎

That is a metal plate on the side of her forehead and temple. Yes, she could tell it was 4 years from reading her hand lines. And she killed the guy who paid to rape the bride had his lower lip or tongue bitten til he bled to death. The movie you were thinking of in relations to Sophie becoming paraplegic is Boxing Helena with Sherilyn Fenn.

The mostly silenced sequence around 24:30 just had me appreciating & curious about all the foley work haha

I saw this when it came out in theaters and the scene where she is getting buried alive was SO MUCH MORE INTENSE than it is watching it even with headphones. It was creepy!

The fight choreography is incredible in this. Especially the fight with the Crazy 88s fight.

Few things... 1. Generally no one packs dirt with machines over a freshly buried body. It could/would break the coffin. Generally they pile all the same dirt that they took out of the hole back on top, with an extra mound on top, so that once it settles it'll be more or less level again. 2. Mythbusters did an episode on the buried alive myth from this movie. Conclusion...she would be dead if buried to the average coffin depth.

The O-Ren scene was based on another movie called Lady Snowblood.

Watching this movies back to back is just a whole bloody affair!

The looking at the hands and saying "Four years?" her calluses from sword training have gone, that’s how she knows.

The thumbnail tho.... god dayummmm lol

The stunt in the car that tarantino convinced her to do was gnarly.

Bill is David Carradine from 1970's show Kung Fu

the wee girl in this movie is also in the new Tarantino movie " Once upon a time in hollywood "...she is the girl Brad Pitt picks up in his car

Hey guys, I really like your content. I have a request for next reaction video. Can you react “From dusk till dawn” created by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino? I think you’ll like it. It’s cool movie. There are George Clooney, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo and even Tom Savini. You won’t regret it, I swear. (Watch it, please)

"Oh they are best friends now..." 😂😂😂

If Tarantino ever makes Kill Bill Vol 3, I hope he casts Maya Hawke as B.B. and it features cameos from all the other surviving characters of his films.

The japanese mob boss is missing a patch in his hair because he survived a katana hit, probably blocked unsuccessfully, and it buried in his skull a bit.

Did you notice that the actor who played the cop who got spit on, at the crime scene, the one who realized she was still alive, also played Esteban?

I cant imagine sitting on the couch watching this with them. After 10 minutes of hysterical laughter at a mostly serious movie and talking the entire time, id be like peace out

The coffin scene in the theater was nuts to behold

"Eating Raoul" is another movie title that gives away the ending.

The little girl in this ended up playing the hippie girl that sold Cliff the acid dipped cigarette in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Not sure if she's done anything else.

Elle Driver's writhing and screaming on the ground is homage to her character Pris in Blade Runner (1982).

Hey! So good I watched both reviews a second time. And yes, I’ve subscribed, but only once. 😉

Spot on for the song at the end.

Back in the 80's every Saturday afternoon was Kung Fu cinema on one of the channels. I never missed it. It's when I was introduced to martial artist movies starring Gordon Liu, Jackie Chan, and more. They were so young back then. I was also surprised when I saw Sonny Chiba in Kill Bill. It brought back a lot of memories of the old martial movies of 70's & 80's. Lastly, the movie the little girl mentions to her mother(Uma Thurman) at the end,.."Shogun Assassin" is a 1980 movie. I remember it well. Good movie and bloody too. 👍

(the battle with Oren) "Silly rabbit..." (Bea)"Trix are for..." (Oren)"Kids." not sure how intended that was, but I found it fun.

Gorge caught simone saying it to him but he said that before in a different video "I didn't say that, they said that" . Lol. 😆🤣🤣
