I think this “Madsen is only in one shot” (NOT scene)-quote indicates that the first film does stop after the House of Blue Leaves fight, like the first reviewer said. I’m guessing that Madsen is in one or two shots of the prologue, and the one scene with Hannah would be in the Comatose Bride-chapter. Also, this reviewer says you don’t see Bill’s face, which pretty much confirms my theory, because with the Cherry Pie-chapter gone, the first time you’d actually SEE Bill is in the Paula Schultz-chapter.
Mark my words: QT isn’t gonna go for the obvious cliffhanger. Volume One will end after the House of Blue Leaves fight.
