YO McKilled! I love that shit when she cleans the glass then blows on it—AWESOME!!!
also, bills boot across the floor of the chapel = the sheriff’s boots across the chapel of the floor
I can’t remember if this has been mentioned before, and I’m not going through seven pages, just to find out. However, I like how she rubs off the name “Bill” after Hattori wrote it in the frosted window, and she gives it a little blow to finish it off at the end.

on-topic:
Don’t hate me for this, but can someone tell me who Charlie Chan is? Never heard of him… btw does charlie chan have anything to do with scarface or what that just an anamolous  reference?[/quote]
Charlie Chan is an old (Hong Kong?) detective series. It's in black and white and I loved watching it as a kid in the 70's.
[quote]also just as a little trivia: (from an Onitsu Tiger newsletter)
(this is quickly translated from Dutch so ignore bad constructions)
“For the shooting of the movie Kill Bill Uma Thurman ‘wasted’ 250 pairs of Onitsu Tigers, the rare sneakers made after the model that Bruce Lee wore in Game of Death. around the world there are not more than 1500 pairs available, in the BeNeLux (belgium, netherlands, luxembourg) there aren’t even more than a 100!” [/quote]
Wow! She went through 250 pairs of Tiger shoes in 8 weeks, that's amazing!! But also understandable, I have 3 pairs myself and they are paper thin ;D

Charlie Chan was so smooth and also so intellegent. I loved it.
btw: If Uma needed so much of this fucking shoes (don´t understand my wrong, if you want you can send me one pair german No 36) this shoes must be not very good work…
Or does it means that there was so much blood splittering around?

lol, no, the shoes are pretty good. They are supposed to be for indoor use only, they are Tai Chi shoes and therefore not meant to be for full assault 24/7 combat use. ;D
Mata Hari, where do you buy them? You are from UK?
Normally I hate merchandising, but… The truth is that they look: good.
I wear this kind of smooth shoes by training Qigong. They are comfortable and you can makre every move with your feeth so soft.
[quote]haha, i don’t remember that in the movie. Were you watching an unrated version? Or him running around in the background with no head is hard to notice?[/quote]
It’s also in the american theatrical cut. I wish I saw the unrated version though. I didn’t notice it first but when I downloaded the movie I took note of it.

You were able to get them here in London in Offspring. When I went I got the last pair, don’t know if they restocked. Buying them here in a shop is definitely the cheapest option if you can get them.
But you can also buy them online from classicsportsshoes.com
The downside with them is that shipping and UPS&custom charges are expensive. They also sell them on ebay and they have been getting cheaper on ebay recently.
Interesting article I found;
Like so many of us, Quentin Tarantino not only grew up with movies, he lived vicariously through them. They were an integral part of his childhood and adolescence, providing word and image to act as fodder for his imagination and his fantasy life. In a November 2003 New York Times Magazine interview, for example, Tarantino admits to having fallen “hopelessly in love with Tatum O’Neal� when he saw The Bad News Bears. He then wrote a fan-fiction ABC “Afterschool Special� about himself and O’Neal. “I called her Somerset in the script,� he says, “and I did what I could never do in real life.� After that, he says, “that’s all I could do in school, just write new scripts.�
Further, as we know, movies provide for children images of gender roles, expressions of value and meaning, and safe glimpses into a large and dangerous world. In Kill Bill: Volume 1, more than in any of his other films, Tarantino revisits those movies and movie genres that he so loved as a kid, particularly the martial arts films and the spaghetti westerns (with cartoons and “blaxploitation� films thrown in for good measure). He even includes the grainy “Our Feature Presentation� graphic from those good old days at the beginning of the movie, and thus we in the audience are instantly transported, with a wave of nostalgia, backwards through adolescence to childhood itself.
NOSTALGIA WITH A TWIST
But Tarantino doesn’t simply revisit the films and genres of his youth, he recreates them in significant and original ways. First, he fuses the genres into a kind of postmodern collage that has a storybook fantasy feel and wildly exaggerated confrontation scenes and violence. Imagine if, as an adult, you took from your childhood and adolescent memories the images and sounds that had the greatest impact on youâ€â€

FROM PUSSY TO COCK
Further, playing the lead doesn’t necessarily imply wielding power, or at least ultimate power, in this film. This latter is symbolized by the pussy/cock distinction. When she awakens from her coma, the Bride, as she attempts to regain the use of her legs, says, “I could see the faces of the cunts who did this to me, and the dick responsible. Members all of Bill’s brainchild, ‘The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.’â€? In other words, though deadly, the DiVAS are underlingsâ€â€

HEAVY SYMBOLISM
So not only have the women been thrust into the leads and the men reduced to supporting roles in the film, the latter have been emasculated as well. Hattori Hanzo hands over his swordâ€â€
Alrigh. how about some symboslism.
ÂÂ
When Uma is in Vivica’s house and they are about to get coffie Vivica pushes the door to close it but it never closes so Uma pushes it again and it closes. This could mean that Diva started it, it being the killing of everyone at the Weddin’ , and Uma is finishing it, by killing everyone in DIVA.
I wrote this a while ago, but decided to bring it up because i dont’ think ayone noticed it.
ÂÂ
Yea… Gibson may have a point…
'Next, the Bride goes to Okinawa to get a sword from Hattori Hanzo, playedâ€â€

Taboo (1999) - IMDb (this movie sucks)
You guys like that one don’t you???!!!?
I noticed that bill is wearing a ring during the hospital dialogue between him and Ellie. Is this the same ring that the dude that kill o-ren’s pop killed had on? hmmmm…
don’t know if its been mentioned but in the HOBL scene oren walks away while the bride is fighting off the yakuzas
the theme from master of the flying gulliotine plays as she walks out
i like how tarantino fucks with the audience when the bride wakes up. coz everyone laughs when she taps her head but then straight away she screams about her baby and everyone in the audience stops cold!
do you think its coz the 5,6,7,8s that tarantino dropped the idea of heavy metal music during the fight scene? coz that was obviously the reason why he wanted the metallica guy to collaborate with rza for the soundtrack? but after he found that band it kinda changed the whole atmosphere of the scene. i love that human beinz tune but i think the fight scene wasnt soundtracked properly at all, rzas little track when brides surrounded was shit and the rest of the music made the scene seem patchy - if the fighting was in rhythm to the music it wouldve been way better.
but having a band like the 5 6 7 8s in it was the coolest fucking thing in the movie - only quentin could think of that!
Oh oh! i didn’t know he wanted Metallica to collaborate for the soundtrack, but I actually couldn’t think of the new horrible drums’ sound of Lars in a QT movie, the sound of the Black Album could work better for the fight… I imagine something like the song “Of Wolf And Man”: ‘Seek the wolf in thyself’
