The only thing I can add to this is that QT said that the fight scenes alone were what took him forever to finish up the script… he wanted them as close to what he saw as possible. From what I gathered he went off and rewatched every Shaw Brothers Old School Kung Fu movie ever made… and watched many of the Kung Fu movies of the 80’s and 90’s that didn’t have obvious wire fu in them.
Someone asked QT at his past fest about Jet Li movies and he basically went on a rant about wire fu… and how he didn’t like it and wasn’t a fan of it. It sorta took him out of it. So when it came time for Kill Bill he didn’t want it to be like Crouching Tiger… he wouldn’t it to be badass old kung fu school style and organic… something as cool as something you’d expect from The Matrix or the Tsui Hark movie “The Blade”. He basically wanted to do something wire fu free it seemed… wire fu for QT seemed to be a total movie turn off for him… and he seemed to say he basically had it written and had a vision… but he was totally going to let Woo Ping and Sonny come into the circle and sorta collaborate between them to come up with some badass kung fu fighting we haven’t seen before.
