[@dustman820]

Uma Thurman's outfit in Japan is based on what Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death. Tarantino said Uma hated the jumpsuit and didn't know about the connection so he had her watch Game of Death and once she got the connection to Bruce Lee, she understood the jumpsuit. Of course her in the jumpsuit is now iconic like most things about Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2.

[@brad1092]

The music that plays when The Bride calls out O-Ren Ishii at the House of Blue Leaves is from Ennio Morricone's score to Death Rides a Horse, a Lee Van Cleef spaghetti western that was one of the big influences on Kill Bill.

[@romangunter621]

The character of O-Ren Ishii and her origin story are partially inspired by the film Lady Snowblood (1973). Which I highly recommend watching and the film itself was also a direct inspiration for Kill Bill along with a few other films that inspired it and Tarantino's other film Jackie Brown. Such as Coffy (1973), Foxy Brown (1974) and Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion (1972) all of which I recommend watching/reacting to someday.

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

I second this, Lady Snowblood is a milestone in revenge cinema (the sequel sucks though) and they even used certain scenes for inspiration for some of the scenes in Kill Bill as well as the main theme song of Lady Snowblood that was performed by the actress herself, Meiko Kaji, who also stars in Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion, where she also sings the theme song. Which is also used in Kill Bill.

I guess eventually you will get to Tarantino's 'Death Proof' which stars Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in the two 'Kill Bill' films. She went from being a stunt woman to starring on-screen in Tarantino's 'Death Proof', 'Django Unchained' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'.

[@maysonstorm4956]

A lot of Tarantino's films are influnced by old Spaghetti Westerns, Blaploitation films and Chinese martial arts movies. I think this film/films blends those genres together masterfully. The way that he writes his dialogue is so unique and makes interactions between characters seem very natural and organic. There is a reason he is one of the most influential, and often copied, filmmakers of the past 30 years.

[@DeadpoolTesla]

Both "Kill Bill" are my favorite Tarantino movies. And the soundtrack - i had goosebumps at Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" back then when i first saw it in the cinema, and the goosebumps are back every time when i watch it since then... Perfect cast - perfect revengestory - perfect films!

[@butkusfan23]

What I love most about these films is the martial arts/martial arts film history that went into it. Hattori Hanzo really was a legendary swordmaker. Pai Mei was based on a similar character from old kung fu films. And that showdown scene in the snow was absolutely beautiful the way it was shot. Just incredible.

[@nevrogers8198]

[@markjone671]

This film takes so many cues from 1970's martial arts movies. Chinese Kung Fu movies back then used to use well known music samples rather than create their own original soundtracks. They would use Ennio Morricone's score from The Good the Bad and the Ugly, John Barry's music from the James Bond films and that intense wah, wah piece of music you heard at the beginning of the film is written by Quincey Jones and is the opening theme to a 1970's detective TV show called Ironside. You can hear that theme being played in the 70's Chinese Kung Fu movie Queen Boxer. Also the guy playing Hattori Hanzo is legendary Japanese film star Sonny Chiba, who back in the 1970's was considered the Japanese Bruce Lee, mostly for his very Bruce Lee-like performance in the Street fighter trilogy.

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

They never come out and say it, but based on the sword, his skills, and all of the rings on his fingers (you see Bill’s rings when he is on the phone with Elle) it’s clear the guy is Bill. I have always wondered if O-Ren ever found out. Is that why she left the Vipers to run her own crime family? I would love to ask Tarantino if I ever get the chance.

[@LA_HA]

The revenge elements are typical of old martial arts movies. But, it's all based on an ancient proverb that essentially says if you plan to kill for revenge, you must dig two graves. The Bride knows this, being exceptionally familiar with Asian martial arts and customs. Revenge begets vengeance, so we could possibly see something down the road about the daughter still feeling kinda raw about it. That would be fun. haha

I love Samantha's reaction throughout his film because this is how many of my friends and family members react to Kill Bill when I introduce them to it! One of the best films ever made and one of Tarantino's best films of his career. Side note: *the film was essentially one entire film and is titled "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," but due to the Weinstein Company and Miramax's interference it was made into two parts.*

[@tomdalsin5175]

One thing I love about this film is that *yes* on the surface it's mostly just a bloodbath... but there is so many little things, little details, piece of drama, small revelations here and there which reveal more about each major character. It's fed to you in subtle pieces, hidden among the carnage and murder. This is one of those films that really make use of the major goal of good film making: "show, don't tell". Consider Gogo. As the fight progresses, she earns some respect at her skill, which tempers the audience's disgust at her cruelty. But this also implies some things about O-Ren, because what kind of person would Gogo follow, and what kind of person would lead Gogo? Someone who can tame her, and see past (or channel) her vicious streak. There are a few things to be gleaned in there. All this from just a fight.

[@thebookgeek87]

This movie is so good. I love this movie. I grew up watching old karate movies. This was so fulfilling to watch the first time

[@HrWisch]

The way blood is shown in Kill Bill is a homage to Samurai movies and Mangas. There's a specific way blood has to spill in those films / pictures. The yellow suit is a homage to Bruce Lee. Also the way new characters are introduced (with text of their name in a freeze frame and a short music clip) is taken from the same culture. The whole movie is a love letter to the 70's Hong Kong cinema.

KILL BILL: VOL. 1 is a masterpiece of style and technique. Obviously, this was an homage to kung fu films of the 1970s, but Tarantino also pays tribute to Brian De Palma in the scene where Elle Driver goes to the hospital to try and kill The Bride. It’s a direct reference to DRESSED TO KILL. Also, Uma Thurman’s stunt double has a bad ass car chase scene in DEATH PROOF, which Tarantino directed after the KILL BILL films.

Awesome one guys! As everyone said the animation was an homage to the old classic gruesome anime. Also, Tarantino said the concept of adding animation in the movie was inspired by a 2001 Indian - Tamil movie named "Aalavandhan" by Kamal Hassan. Where one of India's biggest actors, directed and acted in that film, and Tarantino praised that film and found that animation in that movie was an interesting concept and he wanted to use that in his film. Except being Hollywood with a huge budget and the animation was done by Japanese animators.. which makes it more awesome!

Just like Django Unchained was Tarantino's homage to spaghetti westerns and slavery, Kill BIll was his take on martial arts films and samourai cinema (Hanzo was played by SOnny Chiba and the leader of the Crazy 88s was played by Gordon Liu, both martial arts legends), both the pulpy kind and the more classical in the vein of Seven Samourai and Yojimbo. Another huge, although less often mentioned, influence on Kill Bill were the Lone Wolf and Cub series of movies (aka Shogun Assassin in the West), very specifically in the way blood spurts.

The yellow jumpsuit is a tribute to Bruce Lee's iconic outfit in "Game of Death"

This was the most fun I have had watching one of you guys' reactions. Samantha's constant state of shock was hilarious! Love the channel and cannot wait for part 2.

I hope you noticed what was written on the sole of the Bride's shoes when she walked across the glass floor in the club fight. This was an excellent movie. When people complain about the lack of strong female characters in film, they obviously have not seen this one. And not one Mary Sue to be found.

“When you grow up if you still feel raw about it… I’ll be waiting”… I got Afro samurai vibes from that moment

19:53 There are 3 different lenghts of Japnese swords: the longest one (most common and used by Uma, Bill & Bud) is a katana, the shorter one is called a wakizashi, and the shortest (carried by Gogo) is caleed a tanto.

Just love how he watches his wifes faces to the best parts of the movies! Great Reaction

[@otisroseboro5613]

Uma Thurman did an amazing job in this great movie

[@artygunnar]

Pulp Fiction might be Tarantino's best work, but Kill Bill is my favorite Tarantino

[@beandean23]

Kill Bill is a great movie. But my favorite is and will always be Inglorious Bastereds.

[@Robalogot]

Kill Bill was a single movie for a bit until the studio demanded it to be cut down or split in two, I saw Kill Bill as a single movie in a movie festival. The cliffhanger at the end wasn't in it though and I wish people could have watched the second one without that knowledge. It's one of the most crazy reveals I've ever experienced in the theater where the crowd went wild. I love Kill Bill just because it's an hommage to 70s Asian cinema, with Sergio Leone here and there. The water fountain in the O'ren Ishii reminded me so much of the opening of Once upon a time in the west where the watertower is squeeking.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

It wasn't as much filmed with a sequel in mind as it was supposed to be one long movie. First he he had to cut it in half because the studio thought they could make more money that way. Then during the fight he had to go black and white because the MPAA wanted to give it an X rating and Tarantino refused to cut anything so that was the compromise. They had talked about putting it all back together and they did have some screenings in America with it all edited as intended and it's called "The Whole Bloody Affair". Unfortunately it was never released to the home market. You can find pirated versions titled "The Whole Bloody Affair" but they just put both movies back to back and add the colour back to the fight with the Crazy 88. You can tell the difference because Tarantino had to film an extra scene to add to the front of volume 2 to basically remind the audience what happened. You'll see it at the start of volume 2. If you see that bit in the long version it's not the real directors cut.

[@danholmesfilm]

Samantha’s reaction to the first scene is PRICELESS. more now pls ❤️

[@uncleho1945]

Lol, that was intense for her. I think she will love Vol. 2 more. More plot, less chaos.

[@bravedown50]

If you pause it on Uma’s ticket to Japan you can see her name in the movie.

[@benmason9755]

The guy who plays Hattori Hanzo is Sonny Chiba, who was a BIGH action movie star in Japan, and Tarantino was always a huge fan so it was a big deal for him to get him to play that role. Chiba starred in the Streetfighter movies that Clarence goes to see at the start of True Romance, where he meets Alabama, so it's cool that they kind of got to go full circle like that.

[@charleslee8313]

18:36 -- that guard was Juri Manase. She was the instructor who trained the cast on how to use a sword. She's also the daughter of Sonny Chiba (Hattori Hanzo)

[@eduardodiaz9942]

Fun fact: Hattori Hanzo is played by Sonny Chiba (RIP), who was considered a cinema legend in Japan and was one of Tarantino's fav martial art film actors.

[@totally100darthvader7]

Yes, they shot it all at once. Harvey Weinstein suggested that Tarantino should split it into two movies, so that he wouldn't have to cut a ton of scenes.

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

I envy you, being able to go to Volume 2 as soon as you want to. :-) I saw Volume 1 in theaters three times, but then I had to wait and wait and wait for Volume 2, to find out about her daughter. The character of the Bride was developed by Tarantino and Thurman ("Q and U") while they were making Pulp Fiction.

[@LeoA05]

YEEESSSSS!!! I was waiting for this reaction video to drop. DAMN! kinda makes me sad not being able to see Daniel's 1st watch reaction but seeing Samantha's just made it oh so glorious 🤣 Can't wait to see her reaction for Vol. 2. Looking forward to it!

[@unwokeneuropean3590]

That jump suit was the Bruce Lee reference. Kill Bill was everything about Tarantino. Spaghetti westerns camera work and soundtrack... His love for asian culture (Japan + China elements) + anime + their 70s and 80s Hong Kong movies vibes.

[@user-ij2fi3ku8q]

This movie came out when I was in middle school and Lucy Liu went to my middle school. I was super hype when I watched this movie with that knowledge. Great movie and I'm especially happy to see someone from my neighborhood play such an important role in it.

[@Jay-ln1co]

When this came out, I recognized Gogo's actress from Battle Royale a few years earlier. Battle Royale was, funny enough, the first DVD I ever bought. Still have it, metal case and a single frame of the original film print included.

[@darkcornersuk]

Yes I knew I recognised her but could never place where from..

[@earthien]

Fun fact: The grave that the Bride was buried in was Paula Schultz, widow of Dr. King Schultz... as in Christoph Waltz's character in "Django Unchained".
