Tarantino always delivers imho.

Thanks Mary... I can't wait to watch this 2nd one with you as well! "The Bride's Five Point Palm Exploding Heart ❤️ Technique" also appears in The Shaw Brothers films "Executioners from Shaolin" and "Clan of the White Lotus", which were inspirations behind Kill Bill.

"Isn't it bad luck for the bride to kiss the fake dad on the lips before the ceremony?" --Mary 🤣 There is a little easter egg in Volume 1. When "Black Mamba" (a.k.a. The Bride) buys her plane ticket to Okinawa, pause the movie when there is a quick shot of her plane ticket. You can see her full FIRST and LAST name, even though they keep bleeping out her first name in the movie.

Of all the ways Beatrix could kill Bill. Literally breaking his heart has some grimm poetry to it. I like that. Which is something I perhaps didn't initially fully appreciate the way I do now.

A "Coup de Grace" means to land the finishing touch on someone or something. "Gargantuan" is a synonym for words like huge, enormous, or tremendous. Beatrix Kiddo is the Bride's actual name. The reason it was bleeped out through the majority of the feature was to point out that everyone was calling her Kiddo throughout the movie. But in the U.S., "kiddo" is considered a nickname or term of endearment and not as an actual name. So it was held back for comedic effect. Americans get a kick out of silly names. "Black Mamba" was indeed the Bride's assassin nickname. So even though Beatrix wasn't able to kill Budd, her "spiritual animal" landed the killing blow (or "Coup de Grace"). KILL BILL was always intended by Tarantino to be one 4-hr film. But sadly, in the age of multiplexes, movies of that length are no longer feasible for movie studios and moviegoers with short attention spans. So it was decided that the film be split into two parts with VOL. 1 released in October 2003 and VOL. 2 in April 2004. There is an official 4-hr cut that is available for purchase only in Japan, as well as a handful of 35mm prints that Tarantino presents at exclusive clandestine screenings for select classic cinemas across the world.

David Carradine who played Bill rose to fame in mid 1970's on the TV series KUNG-FU, which Samuel Jackson's character Jules referenced in the climatic diner sequence in PULP FICTION. Budd is played by Michael Madsen who has also played roles in Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, THE HATEFUL EIGHT, and ONE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Gordon Liu, who played Pai Mei, also has a dual role in VOLUME 1 as Johnny Mo, O-Ren's lieutenant.. Michael Parks, who played Esteban, had a dual role as well in VOL. 1. He played the Sherrif at the church massacre crime scene. The sheriff and his "Son Number One" reprise their roles in Tarantino's follow-up film DEATH PROOF.

No need to apologies for taking care of yourself. Your health is much more important

I notice the "I love 'Kung Fu'" part in Office Space going over most reactors' heads because they've never heard of the show.

another fabulous reaction, Mari! I enjoy both of the movies for the merits they each have. I'm glad that you survived the ordeal of the gore and violence and I'm very happy that you are able to appreciate some of the small and nuanced things that Tarantino does with his films. Dunno if you looked up 'gargantuan' but it's just a synonym for immense, massive, gigantic, enormous, colossal, humongous, or brobdingnagian.... looking forward to your streams this weekend on twitch. (I know that I said that last time and that I fell asleep last time.....for falling asleep, I am very sorry.....I intend to be wide awake THIS weekend....)
