KILL BILL VOLUME 1 (2003) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@felixmalcherek2919]

"If on your journey you should encounter god, god will be cut" is such an amazing quote. And Sonny Chiba's delivery just makes it so much more awesome. The complete lack of pride in the voice, yet he still conveys incredible admiration for that sword's craftsmanship. That is my favourite scene in both movies, which says a lot, with how much I love them both.

[@pythonkatie1985]

"So I'm guessing somebody got fondled." I was putting my makeup on and the mascara brush went right into my eye when I heard that 🤣

[@reggieedmond9770]

His constant chatter and analyzing of scene is mainly due to our homie having Asperger's, but also because he is a photographer its interesting the way he can explain to you whatbthe camera is doing and there techniques. Also watching his brain work thru shit that he hates eg. feet is comedy gold. Be patient if you are new he grows on you and you learn to love how his brain works not all reactors are for everyone.

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

I find it too much to listen to him go on and on about the most minute, unimportant details or comments and then talk over the explanation for the question that came up. If he'd listened more and enjoyed the movie, he'd get more out of it and be able to discuss it intelligently afterwards. I keep trying to like this, but I can't.

I loved seeing you go through the phases of justifying buying a samurai sword. You went from "spending too much money for a wall ornament is silly" to "does my weapons permit allow this?" in record time.

[@technofilejr3401]

3:55, its been said that all Quentin Tarantino movies take place in the same universe. This is shown by Vincent Vega (from Pulp Fiction) being brother to a character from Reservoir Dogs. Also the brand Red Apple cigarettes are in all of his movies. In this common universe, the Kill Bill movies are a martial arts fantasy film series playing at the local theatres. So when you see magical and plain impossible things happen it’s because this is a movie playing within a movie universe. The Bride’s impossible feats are also because of the magical nature of one of her instructors. He and Bill were masters of death and trained her to become the right hand of death.

[@robling1937]

Another theory is that some films take place in the same universe (Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction or Django Unchanged/Hateful Eight), then some of the more campy films (Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, ect.) are films from within that universe. Sort of like the fan theory that the Schumacher films are Batman movies from within the Batman universe.

If you notice on Bills sword, you can see a logo, and Kobe Bryant was a big fan of the movie, took inspiration from it and used a similar logo for his Basketball sneakers & merchandise. He is, of course, the Black Mamba.

I'm from Kentucky. I can tell you that in the profoundly rural parts of Eastern Kentucky, the term "colored" was widely used as late as about 2005. It's not that they're hateful people; it's just that change occurs very slowly out there. In some counties out there, restaurants still have smoking sections

"The Bride" is Black Mamba because the black mamba (snake) is known as "Death Incarnate"....and, as you just experienced for yourself 💁🏻‍♀️ Vernita / "Jeanie Bell", Codename: Copperhead DIDN'T live up to deserving that moniker. (and, as for things being realistically possible (such as the ability to carry a katana openly in Japan, how she paying for the flight, muscular entropy levels immediately post comatose....to answer ALL questions of this sort, for this film & ANY of Quentin's you view now - OR EVER - I'll gube you Quentin's answer, IN HIS OWN WORDS: "because THAT'S the way I 🤬 wrote it." 😊 so, remember that. it explains everything)

I have been waiting a long time for this to make it to the channel... And mostly because of the foot scene.. second because I knew you would thoroughly appreciate the artistry and story.

[@The5Ronin]

I had the opportunity to make a kogatana, a small traditional utility blade made of tamahagane compounded with shirogane. My good friend is one of 50 or so active licensed sword smiths in Japan. He usually takes longer than a month to finish a blade and a full size katana or tachi made of folded Tamahagane can run 15-25 thousand usd. The sand used to create the high carbon steel is very regulated as a cultural treasure. The blades can be many times that amount if it is made by a famous master craftsman. I live in Japan. Any blade over 21cm is considered a regulated weapon and falls under the firearms and knives act. Just owning one has to be registered if it is a real functioning blade. You cannot walk around with a Katana unless it is stored properly for transportation and you have the paperwork. -dude who lives in Japan

@43:30 the whole scene has been an homage to Akira Kurosawa's samurai movies, and the bit with the wannabe is directly from Yojimbo (one you REALLY should review) where there is a scene at the end where Sanjuro spares a kid in the same way, and yells the same line, "go home to your mother!"

The name of the song being played in the hospital is actually Twisted Nerve and it was composed by Bernard Herman who also did the main theme song for the original Psycho among other things.

In the old days pirates wore an eyepatch even if they had two functional eyes. They would wear the eyepatch over one eye. And when they got under deck, for example, they would move the eyepatch to the other eye and they would be able to see well in the dark with the eye that was covered before

The woman who plays Gogo was also in another classic film Battle Royale. The song you hear at the final fight in the snow is from the Santa Esmeralda group "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". I've got the LP.

This is my favorite movie (volume 1 & 2 combined). Loved your insight on the film process. As far as the story, Uma and Quinton were working on a little project known as Pulp Fiction and they came up with this script. And i think when you were saying it's funny but not funny early on you meant the absurdity of the moment is funny, yet the grphical implications are absolutely not. Can't wait to see your reaction to Volume 2 and a post movie discussion with your wife - she's awesome.

24:11 i think he has a shot of someone's feet in every movie. Quinton Tarantino has a foot fetish. He wrote into a scene in a movie(From Dusk Til Dawn) where a character drinks a shot of alcohol from a ladies foot, and then he cast himself as the character! So he got to put Salma Hayak's foot in his mouth lol.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

From what I remember you can't carry a bladed weapon more then two inches long in Japan. You can't even bring in a bladed weapon into Japan with the exception of a sword, but you need a hard to get permit. Though my friends dad had a custom katana made using the old fashioned methods. Cost him almost 35k in the 90s. He had to fly to Japan once it was done to retrieve it. There are very few that still make the swords the old fashioned way. Thus they are way better quality.

I remember like a decade or two ago some guy bought a new model Ferrari and had it repainted at a shop to look like some anime cartoon. Ferrari went nuts and sued the guy because the car has to stay "Ferrari Red". I can't remember which outcome happened but it was something like he had to return the car or had to have it painted again Ferrari red. That told me all I needed to know. You apparently don't really own your car to the extent of being able to repaint it. At least back then.

The sound effects are throwbacks to the old foreign kung-fu films of the 70s and Bruce Lee's Hornet series.

[@pickthestickup]

The Kill Bill films are Tarantino's tribute to the samurai, yakuza, tokusatsu, wuxia, and kung fu movies of his youth. All the sound effects, music cues, etc... they're deliberate.

[@LightMovies]

It's very difficult to appreciate Kill Bill on its 100% without knowing anything about the background it quotes in every scene. It started from the gekko with the Shaw Brothers opening, who were famous producers of early 70ies kung fu movies in China, that's why this movie has that style. There are many quotes and easter eggs about famous old Kung Fu movies in the film, including shot styles, overacting, sounds and visual effects, mistakes included.

[@multieyedmyr]

I know in Japan you need a license own a katana and you can adopt a katana. After ww1 or 2 I don’t remember they were forced to burn/destroy their ancestral swords. Ones that survived pop up out of hiding once in a while. You can keep them if you find them and I think pay a fee for license.

[@axebeard6085]

21:19 It is called "bunions". There are several possible causes. In my case, its genetics. It is also common with people who wear pointed shoes. Although not as bad as the pointed heels women (and some men) wear, shoes worn by men that have a narrow toe box can also cause this. This is one of the many reasons why wide toe/barefoot shoes are popular. 24:00 For Tarantino, any shot of a woman's foot is absolutely worth it. By the way, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER watch From Dusk Til Dawn.

[@frizzman1991]

good timing bro, I was bored and I love this movie (and your reactions)

[@mahliz]

You are so amazing MRLBOYD, list of thoughts and stuff from this movie Dust in my eyes.... I want a katana, Ohh I am allowed to carry one on the streets, and you also looked up the price. So apperently Quintin and Uma, was bonding while they filmed pulp fiction over their love of old westerns and kung fu movies. They sat many dinners and talked about it and this is the story that they got out of it all. It ended up being two movies as the studio said it was to long, I think Quintin then added even more to it to fill out two movies instead of just one, and I also think the extra violence in the anime and black and white was a way to get it past censorship. A lot of the things quintin have in his movies are a homage to older things actually. Ty for another great reacton I did enjoy my time...thoroughly

[@DazsdWTP]

i dont know how the barrel end shot was done and i imagien practical effects but instead of shooting your high speed camera you can use a zoom lens and a mirror

[@jaysuscrass9119]

43:20 Objection: scene goes to show character AND be hilarious Samurai Culture: Samurai don't use their swords on children- even young teens like this one; disarm the threat, self-defense...but oh you can beat their ass for sure but sending them home to mommy is the way. Deadly force is best used with discretion, violent criminals and enemies of the state. It's about honor. I'll second the unnecessariness of the foot scenes; Tarantino has a provable foot fetish. source: see what he does in From Dusk till Dawn (solid solid movie one WeIRd scene) man is a ridiculous perv for toes

I absolutely love this movie and the part 2 of it as well but one thing has always bugged me about this one. Kiddo scalps Ishii in one slice removing the top of her skull cleanly but the brain is completely untouched? How did your blade cut only deep enough to penetrate the skull and not the brain and also go all the way around the head again not harming the brain at all? Major flaw there.

[@Jeff121456]

The shot down the barrel doesn't require the loss of a camera just the loss of one high quality optical mirror.

[@alejandroguerra9413]

It's a weapon that never runs out of ammo, needs reloading, or makes much noise. Just don't get a katana... it's overhyped, get a Jian/Gim 700$ ish is the pricepoint at which it's likely to be good. Make sure the grip is not round, that it's a more modern flattened design, for easy edge alignment on just holding it, make sure it's folded, high carbon, with not highly visible "watermarks" it means they didn't mix "random metals together for the look", needles to say it needs to be full tang, make sure it comes apart easy and comes together easy, that way you can clean ALL the parts and tighten the blade, make sure it has a decent pomel, and definitely make sure it has as good a "cross guard" as a Jian can have...

[@zoelo8149]

There are many kung-fu movies in this vein. These exaggerated blood and sound effects were quite common actually. It’s an homage to the original films. Also the film was commonly over exposed in the older films. These are not mistakes. In the beginning credits Shawscope was mentioned. The Shaw brothers made films like this in the 80’s.

Remember, you're watching a Tarantino film. The camera techniques you critiqued were all done very deliberately.

[@toodlescae]

There was an actress back in the 60's/70's named Sandy Duncan who had a glass eye. Don't remember the story about how she lost her eye but obviously she decided to forego the patch as well. Tarantino has a foot fetish. Assassin or spy + secret stashes of cash & ID's go hand in hand in movies. The sound and music when she sees red is from the old tv show Ironside. I think the other one you mentioned is from another old cop or P.I. show. The sound effects and over the top fight moves are because this is an homage of sorts to old martial arts movies. The b&w was to get the blood and gore past the ratings system. 😂 This whole thing is the brainchild of Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman. It was originally 1 movie but it was so long they wanted Tarantino to cut down the runtime. Instead of losing parts of the story they decided to make it 2 volumes instead.

[@donnaewe3692]

I vaguely remember Sandy Duncan from when I was little. I never knew this ❤

[@toodlescae]

@@donnaewe3692 I saw her in a bunch of stuff back then. You could only tell in close ups that the one eye didn't move like the other one.

[@jacquelinerodriguez270]

Sandy Duncan never had a glass eye. When she was 24 she had a brain tumor and was having problems with her optic nerve in one of her eyes. The surgeon tried to fix it and ended up severing it, which means she was blind in that eye. Since that day, she’s been operating with just one eye, which makes it challenging for her depth perception, but that eyeball in the socket is her real eye. No prosthetic. 😉

[@toodlescae]

@@jacquelinerodriguez270 ah. Ok. Must have just been a tabloid rumor then. I was a kid at the time so my memory is a bit patchy on things like that. I read a lot but I wasn't exactly reading magazines or tabloids. Lol. All I remembered was that the one eye didn't seem to move.
