Budd works for an abusive boss because it's a masochistic way of torturing himself for his past life. As we can clearly see, he hates himself for all of the bad things he's done, and working in such a demeaning job is a twisted sort of penance for it. It could also be a way of testing himself to see how committed he is to not be killing people anymore.

[@chanceneck8072]

When I first watched this film, I thought he was the lamest of the squad and kinda a loser. But over time (and as I experienced a lot of different jobs myself, too), it totally changed. Now, to me he's a total badass son of a gun. He has high morals and values, but he keeps it very close to himself. I love that. 😍

[@chanceneck8072]

He's so loyal while saying to your face to eff off, I absolutely love him. 😅

[@GlennShook]

Exactly. Cause anyone else talks to him like that even in the slightest he’s gonna fuck them up. But he just kept taking it. And lives in a trailer dump out in nowhere cause he won’t take bills help at all.

The way and manner of how Darryl Hannah thrashes around on the floor was a direct call-back to her demise in Bladerunner.

I'm not sure how intentional that was. I recall someone asking her about that during an interview, but she said it wasn't supposed to be and joked she had a signature thrashing style.

George geeking out over the Pai Mei chapter is one of the best things on this channel. Just pure love and knowledge of the genre.

Robert Rodriguez scored this movie for one dollar. To answer George's question Perla Haney-Jardine (now 25ish years old) who played her daughter in still acting, in fact she was in Tarantino last movie Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood where she played a Hippie Selling Acid Cigarettes.

Since they did Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, if they eventually get around to Spider-Man 3 they will get to see her as Sand-Man's daughter. It was released just 3 years after KB V2

[@nitrokid]

In return, Tarantino played a role in Rodriguez's Planet Terror for a dollar as well (or something like that 😂)

[@NestorCaster]

Honestly…I believe Budd saying “she deserves to die too” is him commenting on the fact that The Bride was just like them, a Hired Killer-- she killed just like Bill and the Rest, in fact, she was seen as the Best of them(both good and bad morally, professionally, etc.) second to Bill and Tied with Ellie(in prowess in Professional killing)… The Bride’s got blood on her hands as thick as they all do…. So that’s what I believe Budd was commenting on. And given her shared history, I also believe that is why all of them(even Eille to a degree) took The Bride’s “leaving” as such a high level betrayal-- because they were in it for life and only get to leave on terms they all agreed on-- and The Bride just legit high-tailed and ran-- faking her death, leading them to strike blood retribution (implied by the script), in her name and the heart ache that Bill felt thinking his Love was killed and her body disposed of without a trace-- like trash.

[@Panurus_biarmicus]

Well said

[@DJKuroh]

Its easy to forget that she killed a ton of people because we so quickly identify with her revenge story. Just like how she told Copperhead that her having a daughter won't grant her mercy, the same goes for The Bride, honestly.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

Yeah, if we saw the past 10 years of Beatrix's life in the squad she'd cease to be a sympathetic character. Although that would be a really interesting juxtaposition. I mean in Pulp Fiction where Zed is raping Wallace we think "he's a piece of crap and deserves to die." But then Wallace shoots him in the balls a looms over him describing the seven levels of hell that Zed is about to go through before he dies... and I kinda' feel bad for him !

[@Dan-Ellis]

Apparently Gordon Liu’s characters got their asses kicked by the Pai Mei (Bak Mei?) character quite often in his older movies, so Tarantino enjoyed that Gordon would get his chance to become his former nemesis.

[@yousefffg]

that final scene between Beatrix and Bill with the anecdote about Superman is so damn good. one of my favorite scenes literally of all time. i have just such a love for peaceful fights to the death where characters find resolution and still kill each other and just kind of accept their fate lol

[@MJKFanatic]

My favorite piece of trivia is when Beatrix meets her daughter (BB), they have a play game of guns and BB jumps up and shoots her mom, saying “Bang Bang!”. At the very beginning of the first movie there is a song playing by Nancy Sinatra titled “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”

[@MrHarbltron]

10:45 This scene was ASTOUNDING to see in theater. Ears assaulted by the pounding nails, watching the scene fade to absolute black and being left there in the dark listening to The Bride panic. Tarantino loves the big screen experience and his craft shows it.

[@LokRevenant]

I love that BB isn’t surprised when Beatrix walks in. She’s EXPECTING her RIGHT THEN. That means Bill knew when she would get there long before she found him. He’s an awful dude, but he’s got a great sense of timing.

[@Mr59Kenzo]

It cracks me up how seriously you to discuss this film, George the amount of history info you add to it is very cool.

[@eancarana]

Two notes: One, in the first scene of the first film, B said "Bill, it's your baby" just as he shot her in the head. So he knew just a second too late that BB was his daughter, which is why he raised her. Two, in the anime flashback for O-Ren, the assassin that killed her father, the person she never saw and therefore never knew about, was Bill. Bill knew about her, hence the irony of her working for him.

[@robertcampbell8070]

The assassin that killed her father absolutely was NOT Bill. That was a fan theory that Tarantino has said straight up was not true.

[@TheeGoatPig]

When I saw this in the theater, the buried alive scene felt like I was being buried with her. It was horrifying as the room grew so dark I could barely see. It's one of the most impressionable scenes I have ever witnessed in a theater.

[@0okamino]

Yeah, I think just having the very faint lights along the walkways on each side even made it a bit more eerie.

[@lazyatthedisco]

13:40 "The translation is a little off" Well apparently the subtitles not being quite right was also intentional, also as an homage to the older Kung Fu movies, where the English translations in the theater or VHS were sometimes slightly incorrect or just outright making little sense. A subtle nod by Tarantino.

[@CybrSlydr]

I love how much fun George is having with the Pai Mei sequence - and his cultural background gives him so much more to enjoy.

[@chaospoet]

The buried alive scene in theaters was crazy, because the whole theater went black too making those sound effects that much more terrifying since you could hear it from every direction. The Bill fight is hands down my favorite fight despite it going so fast. I've rewatched it going frame by frame and Bill is toying with her the whole time. If she didn't know the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique she wouldn't have stood a chance, which is insane considering the amount of death and destruction we saw her do between these two movies. That's why no one messed with Bill. All the rest of them combined couldn't touch him. He's just that dangerous. She HAD to use the one move he didn't know and didn't have a counter for.

[@franblemer7262]

George's excitement in Pai Mei scene is so heartwarming!

[@TTM9691]

George's reactions to the Gordon Liu make this the best Kill Bill reaction ever. They should put this on the DVD. (You also included my favorite scene which most reactions cut out: Bud getting chewed out by his boss!)

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I think of all the deaths in this film, Bud’s death is the saddest. The poor guy was clearly tormented by his past while the rest either embraced it or basically ignored it, and I think he was truly remorseful for his actions. Yeah, he defends himself when she comes for him, but I never really feel that his actions are malicious in any way, and what he does to Beatrix is out of love for his brother, not hate for her.

[@tigerburn81]

Bill had his heart broken . . . twice. The burial scene was awesome in the movie theater.

[@chanceneck8072]

So the confrontation at the end hits even harder.

[@worsel555]

Absolutely, it was pitch back and the surround sound really added to the terror of being buried alive.

[@grife3000]

If you Google it, you’ll find that there were some things that happened during filming that basically ended Q & U’s working relationship for a long time, including an accident when Uma was driving that light blue VW when they should have had a stunt double drive. They worked everything out a few years back, luckily. Great reactions, of course, to both films and I loved how much George loved the Pai Mei scenes.

I said this on the last video, but just worth reiterating, don't hold your breath for Kill Bill Vol. 3. I'd bet anything that it is not his next (and final) film. The premise would indeed be Copperhead's daughter getting revenge on Beatrix -- but it is almost certainly going to go the way of The Vega Brothers and the backstory of the Inglourious Basterds as an unrealized project (at least as a movie -- maybe he'll write it as a book or something after he directs whatever he does do next and retires from filmmaking). I'm also sure I said this on the last one but PLEASE watch Jackie Brown! It's incredible!

[@DrLipkin]

Tarentino considered Kill Bill v1 and v2 to be a single movie, so he could cheat and say the same for v3 and not count it as his final. That being said, yeah. We shouldn't hold our breaths.

[@Dularr]

Never know. Top Gun Maverick has Hollywood thinking.

[@EDTGO1]

Yeah, Quentin only said in passing that he liked the idea of Kill Bill 3, with that revenge plot and that he could see himself writing something on that, but that was the extent of it, him just talking on interviews about the idea, but never had anything concrete.

[@rebeccajohnson8769]

Not to mention that Uma was hurt and traumatized by the car accident she had while filming this. Quentin refused to get a stunt driver, after she requested one, and made her drive the car. She still has issues due to that accident.

[@tylerfoster6267]

@@rebeccajohnson8769 While this is true, the reporting around that story was so muddled that Uma later posted to Instagram to clarify that Tarantino had made things right in her view by giving her the footage, and that the people she felt were accountable were Harvey Weinstein, Lawrence Bender, and E. Bennett Walsh. Her daughter Maya Hawke would appear in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soon after. So I don't think she'd be unwilling to do it, or that bad blood remains (note: this is a neutral belief -- whether or not he deserves forgiveness is in the eye of the beholder, I'm just talking about Uma), I just don't think he will.

Every time I see David Carradine on screen, it sends me back to the 1970's when he was a young man in the TV series "Kung Fu." He played a half-Chinese/half-White Shaolin Monk wandering around the Old West. For a long time it was common to call someone "Grasshopper" meaning student or apprentice and was taken from its' use on the show. He had no previous martial arts training but threw himself into the role and learned well enough to get by. RIP to him, once called The Hardest-Working Actor in Hollywood.

[@Curraghmore]

Three bits of interesting trivia: 1. The razor blade that Uma uses to cut her bonds inside the coffin was the SAME razor blade that Michael Madsen (Mr. Blonde) used to cut off the cop's ear in 'Reservoir Dogs'. 2. The same actor (Michael Parks, R.I.P.) played both Esteban Vihaio In Vol. 2 and the Texas Ranger whose face Uma spat in at the massacre scene in Vol. 1. and 3. The girl that played Uma's daughter also appears in Tarantino's recent 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' film in a cameo role where she sells an acid-dipped cigarette to Brad Pitt.

The climax of the film was originally meant to be as a battle royale on the beach under the moonlight between Beatrix (in her wedding dress) and Bill.

B.B. is played by Perla Haney-Jardine. She played Sandman's daughter in Spider-Man 3, and was also the hippie who sold the acid-dipped cigarette in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. If they did a Vol. 3, fans have suggested that Maya Hawke (Uma's daughter) play B.B. I dug George's knowledge of Shaw Brothers' movies.

[@moldy13]

The character being created by Q&U is referring to Tarantino and Uma creating the character on the set of Pulp Fiction. Part 3 is speculated to be about Copperhead's daughter coming after Black Mamba. I loved George pointing out all the stuff from the Hong Kong movies... especially the Pai Mei bit. It's obviously an homage, but a lot of us probably don't know HK cinema as well as you.

[@TaoOfTheFist]

Hey George, little background on the character of Bak Mei, aka Pai Mei: In Guandong and Fujian martial arts lore, there was a Shaolin temple in Fujian where many of the martial arts of those regions claim origin from. Five Masters came from that temple, and Bak Mei was one of them (There is a real life Bak Mei style attributed to him). Some other examples include the nun Ng Mui (Wing Chun, White Crane) and Ji Saam (Hung Ga, Choy Ga, etc.). For a short version of the story, he eventually became dissatisfied with Shaolin and defected to the Taoists, and then later ended up assisting with the burning and massacre of the Shaolin Temple in retaliation. Other than the characteristic white beard/eyebrow/topknot situation, he is also normally characterized by being nearly invincible having mastered Iron Body, and being able to withdraw his genitals at will to avoid damage.

[@WizardOfOss]

I love how very different these two movies are, but still work so well together. In the first movie Uma is killing everybody, in this second one she basically just kills one. Of course it's not very likely that Elle survives, leaving her blind with that snake was pretty much a death sentence, but still. And those final scenes with Bill were so amazing, after all this buildup it could almost only disappoint, but QT pulled it off masterfully. And David Carradine was so absolutely perfect for that role. Volume 1 is the movie you want to watch again and again, but volume 2 elevates them both to another level.

George's reaction to the Kung-Fu-movie part is really great. I know that Tarantino puts a lot of effort in these hommage scenes, but as a merely casual viewer of this genre, I couldn't make much of it and took it at face value (meaning from my point of view, is was... quite nice, I guess) This genuine appreciation by a connaisseur validates it and I am glad that I could learn new things about this interestingly weird movie genre from you.

[@HaienTwitch]

Pai Mei says your arm is mine now after defeating The Bride. In Kill Bill Vol. 1 after the crazy 88 fight Beatrix Kiddo says "those of you lucky enough to still have your lives, take them with you! However leave the limbs you`ve lost. They belong to me now". Small but cool detail.

[@chrisclay5406]

Kill Bill is also a fun call back to pulp fiction. Uma in Pulp was in a pilot called Fox Force 5, the team was based on five women. A blonde, Daryl hanna, a Japanese woman, lucky lu, a French girl, Julie Dryfus, an African American, Vivica, and Uma whose good with knives.

Esteban was played by actor Michael Parks, who also played the Texas Ranger Earl McGraw, with the green sunglasses in Vol. 1. He was not originally cast to play Esteban, but at a table read or rehearsal the actor that who was cast to play Esteban was unable to make it, so Tarantino had Parks read during rehearsal.

[@skolkor]

One of my favorite things that I didn't realize until I rewatched these as an adult. Pai Mei claims Beatrix's right arm for himself and says that he wants his arm to be strong. It is Pai Mei's arm that punches her out of the coffin, snatches out Elle's eye, and kills Bill. It is symbolical of Pei Mei giving her the strength to survive. Another neat thing is that in the final fight with Bill, Beatrix catches his sword with the sheath, symbolically sheathing his sword as his battle is now over. I also find it funny that Beatrix went to Hattori Hanzo to get a sword for her revenge, yet in the end only O-Ren is actually killed with it.

Two Things: Pai-Mei saying that he owned Beatrix's arm, he plucked out Elle's eye (I think I remember that he did) & that he swore he would get revenge on Elle for poisoning his food...Beatrix plucks out Elle's other eye with the same arm that Pai-Mei claimed, so in a sense, he did get revenge after all. Also, I don't know, but the ending of Vol. 2 with Beatrix just releasing everything in the bathroom after everything she's been through or was it just the late Euphoria setting in from the truth serum...or a mix of both ya think? The crying/smiling and then the "Thank You" may have been to Bill for taking care of "B.B." (Beatrix & Bill?) or for the euphoric feels for her to "detox" in a sense...or both? Damn gifted writing... Oh, damn...3 things: In Vol. 1, you could make out Beatrix Kiddo's name when they did a close up on the ticket that she bought to Japan if you were wondering. Great Reactions, BTW. lol

For a second I thought George was Colonel Sanders in the graphic 😂

After vol.1 I was not expecting an even better reaction, but S&G delivered! Have never seen people enjoy a movie this very much (ok, actually second most, next to me making the whole audience laugh double when watching the movie "Bean" in 1997) 😅😂🤣 Both mentioned instances were each a great experience, thanks again 🥳

That's the first time I've heard anyone translate Pai Mei as "white eyebrows," and that's just perfect and awesome.😝

The Shaw Brothers used the character Pai Mei (sometimes referred to as the "white-browed priest") quite often in their films. He was arguably most notably portrayed by the actor Lo Lieh (very famous hong kong action star back in the day) who played the character at least twice, including Executioners from Shao Lin. In that film, actor Gordon Liu played a brief supporting role (he gets killed roughly 10 minutes into the movie). And now in KB Volume II, he assumed the role of Pai Mei (and of course, Gordon Liu also played the leader of the Crazy Eights in the first Kill Bill film). The two-inch punch training was actually in a different Shaw Brothers film called Shaolin Martial Arts featuring Fu Sheng and Chi Quan-Chun who portrayed the character who underwent the finger training (eventually he had to ring a giant iron bell by hitting it with his fingers).

The pimp towards the end also played the sheriff with sunglasses in kill Bill part one

The little girl suggesting they watch the video "Shogun Assassin"; for those not familiar - is a compiled version of the "Lone Wolf and Cub"; a story about a Samurai who travels Japan with their infant son. Which is fitting for how the movie ends.

Simone trembling in shock after Uma snatched the eye out was unexpectedly hilarious 😂

[@Crespwnian]

you actually can find out her name already in the first film when she says "One ticket to Okinawa" and you see the short montage of her traveling there you can see her ticket flash by and her name is visible on it ;)

[@MrGpschmidt]

Tarantino said that he pitted Uma vs. Daryl as an homage to the Japanese monster film WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (Now all I want to see is them as giantesses clashing in Tokyo).

As a martial artist, I can confirm that the mindset aspect is real. To break anything, you need to attack with the mission of striking through your target. The moment you start doubting yourself, your body will automatically pull back the power on your strike.

Bill just had to stand without moving, asking someone to bring him a wheelchair, and never make a step again. Checkmate.

[@chrispswann6825]

A little Easter Egg: the razor that Uma Thurman uses to free her hands when she's in the coffin is the same razor Michael Madsen used to cut off the cop's ear in Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino likes to re-use movie props and pay hommage to himself

it took me a rewatch to figure out that all the people are snake names... sidewinder, black mamba, copperhead, and snake charmer.. thats soo cool
