Original Movie: Kill Bill Volume 2

[@Killachow23]

40:20 Notice that the way she kills Bill is by "breaking" his heart, which is thematically beautiful because they were once lovers.

[@thedoctor4327]

David Carradine did a great job portraying Bill. I wouldn’t say I felt bad for Bill in his final scene because he had it coming, but I do appreciate the layers that Carradine’s performance and Tarantino’s writing/directing added to the character

[@GasparGa]

David Carradine did a great job indeed! I'm glad he didn't choke in an important role like this!

[@1stCainite]

@@GasparGa Nah, that wasn't until later.

[@themoviedealers]

He definitely didn't leave us hanging.

[@miker252]

He did remind me of his Kung Fu character, Grasshopper, from the seventies TV Series. Of course now he's the bad guy.

[@DogmeatDied989]

He was charming

[@FrethKindheart]

The actor who played Pai Mei is Gordon Liu. He is a martial artist/actor best known for his 70's martial arts films, most of which were of him becoming a master of Shaolin kung fu. He also played the masked man who had his leg cut off at the knee in the banister fight in Kill Bill 1. As the scenes show, he has amazing acrobatic ability (yes, they used wires, but look at how smooth it was). The crazy zooms were something you saw in classic martial arts films, as is the training montage, the mannerisms, the beard stroking, the insane eyebrows, etc.

[@pete_lind]

Tarantino starts with homage to, Shaw Brothers, they made movies from 1951 to 1986 and they did not waste time 2 weeks or less for a movie. 1978 5 deadly venoms (Bill has 5 assassins) , 1974 The Golden Lotus, (with Jackie Chan) , Shaw Brothers had whole bunch of Shaolin masters movies .

[@agarven1]

I was going to say all that lmao

[@davidanderson1639]

Also, Gordon Liu started in ‘The 36 Chambers of Shaolin’. Wu Tang Clan took the title of their debut album (Enter The 36 Chambers) & lifted countless samples from the very same film. RZA of Wu Tang Clan was also responsible for the composing / compiling the soundtrack for Kill Bill.

[@noahsark342]

Gordon Liu also starred in a number of films where he faced off against Pai Mai - so playing him in a movie was a great subversion of his previous history. I think I remember he was really excited to play the bad guy! Haha.

[@starman9988]

There is a scene where they practice kung fu behind a solid red background. That's a reference to Snake in Eagles Shadow.

[@notofthisgod32]

This movie is a GREAT example of a well written, strong female lead who isn't perfect, who has to struggle, who makes you feel for her. THIS is what a strong female lead is

[@RoyKoopaling]

This is what strong female leads looked like before the woke ideology convinced Americans to ruin everything.

Elle was the only member of the Deadly Vipers who WASN'T named after a venomous snake (California Mountain Snake is non-venomous), but... she made up for it by using poison and venom in her attacks.

[@drn13355]

Alos the "black mamba" is what killed everyone. Either Beatix Black Mamba or an actual Black Mamba.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

Another point to note, is that California King Snakes (another name for the California Mountain Snake) prey often on other snakes, particularly venomous ones, so it’s a very fitting code name for Elle.

[@magafett596]

The $64,000 Question was in reference to an old 1950’s game show called The $64,000 Question. It’s basically synonymous for the big question.

[@AlanCanon2222]

It was also rigged, with answers (or at least questions) given to certain contestants in advance.

[@shawnmiller4781]

@@AlanCanon2222and is the show that gave us Dr Joyce Brothers

[@zedwpd]

Officially, the show was never proven to be rigged, but the allegations certainly cast a shadow over its legacy. The congressional hearing into quiz show practices found that there had been some instances of fraud and manipulation on other quiz shows at the time, so it's certainly plausible that "The $64,000 Question" wasn't entirely on the up and up. However, no concrete evidence was ever found to prove that the show was rigged. Regardless, the controversy still makes for an interesting footnote in television history, and it certainly helped to make Dr. Joyce Brothers a household name.@@AlanCanon2222

8:55 Budd is ready to die, is broken and done. Doesn't mean he wants to die. Hes just accepting and ready

[@CrazeeAdam]

mmhm.. and out of every one of the Vipers, he for sure feels the worst.. He's honestly depressed IMO and he knows that they did wrong by her.. maybe he feels like, killing Beatrix was one thing.. all the others was another. All those deaths.. probably weighed on him over the couple years

[@redted12345]

Budd was a super interesting character. Seemed to be atoning for his life in a miserably ascetic way, respected The Bride’s desire for revenge but still denied it to her. He’s also the only one she doesn’t come at out in the open like she does with O-Ren and Vernita, and Bill. Instead she opts to be a sneaky lil sneak for Budd, and even then he sees it coming and gets the best of her. That being said if Ellie hadn’t double crossed him and snaked his ass, The Bride would have caught him off guard in that trailer the next morning. Would have been an interesting fight.

[@ericjohnson9623]

There is also the fascinating relationship between Budd and Bill. They clearly had some kind of falling out (over Elle?), and Budd acts like he doesn't care too much to them, but we know from his sword and his last line to Beatrix, "This is for breaking my brother's heart," that Bill means more to him than he lets on.

[@oneDonly]

This is the only Tarantino movie I really like and bud is probably my favorite character. So different than any other character in his movies. He’s not the guy with a wallet that says bad ass motherfucker or the pussy wagon.

[@OgreProgrammer]

His choices and style of living help him keep his edge. The others, while not soft-soft, have all let something slip, even if they stayed in shape, except maybe Bill. Bud could just kill his boss, or quit, or just not clean the shit up, but he puts up with it all, and it lends him something. Its similar to The Bride's edge being her desire for revenge. Oddly, it is one of the most realistic aspects of the film. A comparison might be that I am larger, stronger, healthier than my great grandfather was, but he'd still whoop my ass because of life style and mindset.

[@thoso1973]

They kept the Bride's name bleeped out, because the audience thinks that Bill calling her 'kiddo' - a childish nickname - is meant in disdain. He is actually calling her by her real surname; Beatrix Kiddo. It's also a trope of some Asian martial arts films, to keep the protagonists name a secret until the time is right for the reveal.

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

It's also foreshadowed in volume 1 with O'ren "Silly rabbit, Trixx are for kids." Trixx-Kids BeaTRIX KIDdo

[@johnfede7057]

[@ulquiorracifer5493]

I read the screenplay. That's not why. Lying ass.

[@deanthemachine8879]

From what I remember, the scene that was traumatic for Uma Thurman was actually a scene where she ended up wrecking a car and, industry standard, would have had a stunt person do it, but Tarantino pushed her to do it herself and she actually got injured and it reportedly put a real downer on their very friendly working relationship

[@RJALEXANDER777]

I mean... I know that stunts are supposed to be safe and it's fucked up something went wrong/wasn't accounted for... but if someone told me to "have a car accident" I'd presume a fair chance of injury from that.

[@deanthemachine8879]

@@RJALEXANDER777 it wasn’t to do an accident stunt, it was to drive in a dangerous manner (an actor shouldn’t do that). It ended up resulting in an accident. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZjQfYesbsyXd68si=8u5AEpny6F005H9l

[@davesunhammer4218]

IT's the opening scene where she is driving, narrating to the camera. Wrecking the car wasn't part of the scene. That's why they couldnt use a stunt person. Helps if you actually read up on what your talking about, rude little toad.

[@blueroninstudios]

Kind of a weird Stockholm syndrome thing, but yeah.

[@yapeseguy9261]

Because she knew he was right. She had no right to just walk off into the sunset and live a normal life after a long and probably very bloody life. In a world like that, no one walks away unscathed dodging accountability and atonement. Thankfully she didnt have to pay for it with her life but with a long grueling battle against bad and dangerous people who needed to be put down. In the end she absolutely earns her new life with BB.

[@_l3m35_]

I'm not so sure it was stockholm. They were both killers, very similar. Like she says in the end when Bill asks why she never told about the secret technic, she says "I'm a bad person". They both are, they kind of deserve each other.@@blueroninstudios

@@shanialover Kill Bill 2 release date: April 16, 2004

[@BillTheScribe]

Trivia dump- Pai Mei is based on the founded of a form of kung fu that translates to "White Eyebrow." He was known for them. He was also said to be highly disreputable. The descriptions of the man were clearly an influence on this character. If you watch the training montage, a good portion of it is practicing the eye-pluck. Elle's code-name was California Mountain king snake, which is a non-venomous snake that often eats other snakes. The shotgun bud used was loaded with rock salt. This breaks easily and doesn't usually survive the g-force of the acceleration in a shotgun. It's also much lighter, so it doesn't have the momentum to push through once it hits something. It's like someone throwing a ping pong ball at you instead of a golf ball. The salt will get stuck in the skin and muscle rather than penetrate to the organs. The sixty-four thousand dollar question is a reference to an old game show. You answer questions for prize money. I don't remember if there were 6 or 10 but each one was worth twice as much as the one before. The $64,000 question was the one for all the money.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Thank you for pointing out these areas of information.

[@danielrafferty4108]

Pai Mei is also the villain in about five or six older martial arts movies and is essentially played in the same manner here. He's a twisted son of a bitch in those movies and the one that's always kicking just about everybodies asses. He's based on the founder of the form like you mentioned, and I think Quentin is keeping up the tradition of featuring him as that twisted son always kicking people's asses hence the shift to 80's style music and wire work and the way the film looked at that point. I didn't know the second one thanks! The game you're thinking of is Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It's about fifteen questions and it roughly doubles if I remember correctly. The next question is worth £125, 000 (you can guess from there). I think at least, I'm from the UK and it aired when I was a kid. It might been based on another older game for all I know. cheers for the info!

[@magicbrownie1357]

My favorite chapter is The Cruel Tutelage of Pei Mei. Magical sequence. A brilliant extended scene. One of my favorite scenes of all time. The scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in "True Romance" is a close second. Both written by QT.

[@davewolf6256]

So the reason Beatrix answers Bill, “Because I’m a bad person?” is because she admitted to herself that she kept the Five Point Exploding Heart technique to herself believing she would one day use it on Bill-the man she loved. That is kind of the conflict of her character in the movie, and the point that Bill makes about her during the film’s climax. Even though Beatrix wants to leave her life of crime, a fundamental part of her nature is a killer. And she cannot divorce herself from it. Just like when Bill says it felt good for her to kill all the men who were defending Oren Ishii, she reluctantly admits the truth.

[@ThePartisan13]

That's life. We can't stop what we're good at nor what we're programmed to do. At least she has the consciousness to not want to be like that.

[@jonmercano1138]

Looking it up, Beatrix apparently killed 44 of the Crazy “88” To mostly quote a comedic animated version of Tarantino about why Beatrix’s name was bleeped: “When Bill killed her husband and her baby and her whole family, he killed her identity.”

Side trivia - the actor playing Larry, the strip club owner, is Larry Bishop, son of comedian Joey Bishop, who had been a member of Frank Sinatra's "Rat Pack." Larry had been known for making several biker films in the late '60s, and after this movie was made, Quentin produced a retro-style biker movie that Larry directed, HELL RIDE, again starring Michael Madsen. In addition, Larry went to the same high school as Rob Reiner, and they worked together as a comedy team for years before he broke out as an actor and director himself. And another mutual classmate of theirs was Albert Brooks, director of LOST IN AMERICA star of BROADCAST NEWS and DRIVE, and voice actor in FINDING NEMO.

[@Accolonian]

Bill is played by David Carradine, a legendary martial arts tv hero from the 70's. Fun fact, in Pulp Fiction, when Samuel Jackson's character has his moment of revelation and says that he is going to "wander the earth like Caine" he is referring to the TV series Kung Fu (72-75) where the main character Caine is played by David Carradine. Tarantino just loves to pull his own childhood idols out retirement and give them roles. You can just imagine how cool the reveal of Bill was in volume 2 for those of us who still remembered Carradine from our childhoods.

[@jmcsquared18]

Everyone gives Bill a hard time for what he did, but put yourself in his shoes. His favorite person in the world, the woman he loves, ran away with his unborn child to marry someone else. On top of that, she made him think she was dead, which made the shock of discovering her pregant and cheating on him even harsher. The dude definitely overreacted, and what he did was wrong, but my god, Bea is no hero. In fact, imo Budd said it best: "We deserve to die... but, then again, so does she."

"The $64,000 Question was an American game show broadcast in primetime on CBS-TV from 1955 to 1958, which became embroiled in the 1950s quiz show scandals." (Wikipedia)

[@GetMeThere1]

LOL. "The $64,000 question" was a fifties game show (the early version of The Million Dollar Question). $64,000 was the "last" and hardest question. From that it became the phrase (which you apparently never heard). Extra trivia point: It was a crooked game. They even made a movie about it (a very good movie): Quiz Show (1994). Starring John Turturro and Ralph Fiennes. Directed by Robert Redford.

I think it's kinda of glossed over that Bill was drinking a s---- ton of tequila once Beatrix showed up at the villa. He wanted her to win but honor required him to fight at the best of his ability so he purposely diminished that ability. He pops it open before Beatrix and BB start watching a 'too long' movie so that bottle was probably almost gone at the final confrontation. During his interrogation you could tell that he was almost more impacted by alcohol than she was with the truth serum.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Good thing Pai Mei didn't hear you calling him those things. You'd probably lost both eyes! Or he just would have killed you on the spot. They didn't hide Beatrix Kiddo's name. In the opening scene when she walks out of the wedding chapel and sees Bill playing his flute, he calls her "Kiddo". You just don't pick up on it until later.

the scene in kill bill volume 2 that uma was not happy about is when she is driving the convertable she ALLMOST died because tarantino insisted that she drive at at least 40MPH down a windy country road so her hair would flow properly and at an unexpected corner uma lost controll and crashed frontally into a tree causing her severe concussion and damaged both her knees.

Isn't the opening scene to V2 the only time she drives it? That seems to have been done on a green screen... At the very least, there isn't any variation in wind-blown hair. Did they cut whatever the scene was (and possibly reshoot) after the accident?

I believe she had driven that road several times one direction, but Q wanted her to try driving it the other way at the same speed. It was harder to navigate the opposite way, especially at speed. She resisted several times but finally agreed, resulting in the wreck.

Just to let you know that Tarantino is supposedly working (or not working) on a part 3, The story involves the daughter from the 1st movie seeking revenge for her mothers death. Tarantino wasn't looking to another one but the fans have been clamoring for a sequel since Vol. 1 came out.

The scene in Volume 1 with O-Ren and Beatrix talking to each other using the Trix rabbit commercial but in actuality they both say her name quite clearly.

[@EmanueleCorsi]

All the Pai Mei training sequence has been realized to recall the old japanese martial arts movies from the 70s and 80s: the cold lighting, the "dramatic zooms" (often off-centered), the music, the black-on-red scenes... It was like a dive in the past 😊(Needless to say Tarantino is a sucker for that kind of movies).

By the way, I don't know if you noticed the reveal that they were saying her name, "Kiddo", throughout both movies. Viewers assume it's just an affectionate form of address like "buddy" or "kid", but then in the reveal you find out it's her actual last name.

I have watched many KZbinr's reactions to Kill Bill volume 1 and 2. I have never seen any KZbinr or commenter mention the Nancy Sinatra song at the start of the first film. (Bang bang my baby shot me down) Not only hauntingly beautiful, but with at least 1 if not 2 tie ins to the movies. First Bill did come into the church and shoot Kiddo. So "Bang bang, my baby shot me down" fits, but also when she finally confronts Bill in the second film her daughter aka baby "shoots" "her down". I can not be the only one who noticed.

[@thoso1973]

Bud is an interesting character; we only see the post-massacre side of him, which is his atonement. He declines assistance from Bill, yet he is the only member of the former assassin squad that defeats Beatrix. Here's a coy reference; Uma Thurman's (Beatrix) character in Pulp Fiction, stated that she appeared in a tv-pilot about a secret team of five agents, of which she was the 'expert with knives/blades'. Tarantino likes these tiny self-referential details to cross over in his films.

To answer your question about what had just happened when Pai Mai got kicked in the groin: he is a Eunuch and thus highly resistant to such attacks.

[@1122Dragon]

When bill mentions the "$64,000" line it's a reference to the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, where the more questions you answer right the more money you make and the more difficult they become. $64,000 was on the lower tier in the game show and was indicative that his (Bill's) questions will be harder to answer as he goes on.

More so, it’s a reference to the 1950s quiz game show, _The $64,000 Question._
