Its in the Volume 2 reviews topic. Check it out.  [/quote]
Aaah, YOU are Pete Roberts! And thats your review called “Heaven and Hell”. Ah, now I understand. Cool review 
.
I have one question: Is there any long and Leone’esk build-up with Spaghetti Western music in the showdown? Like the Bride and Bill facing each other, some Morricone stuff is playing. And then, finally, the 10 point palm heart exploding technique?
Dunno if this was mentioned in any other threads, for I haven’t been here in months and only looked through this thread hehe…
The titty club owner, when “barking” at Budd, he says something along the lines of “I need you like I need an asshole right here” as he points at his elbow. That’s a nod to Roger Avary, a line that Rupert from Roger Avary’s Rules of Attraction uses.
Anyone catch the names of the children in the classroom when Beatrix Kiddo’s name is called in attendance call? Was the second girl Melanie Whorehouse? Totally forget the first child.
Also noticed a can of Stagg’s chili in Budd’s cupboard. Stagg’s Chili is the FCUKING BEST canned chili in the world. Wish Costco still carried it =(
Bill dies in the same position as O-Ren.

It’s all silent. And the fight just comes out of nowhere (In fact, there are a few surprises that occur in Vol-2 that a lot of people won’t be prepared for) but Morricone showed up to escort Bill out of the picture. And when I heard those first few electric-guitar notes from Navajo Joe, I almost immediately stood up and applauded. “L’arena” was also used to perfection. Quentin Tarantino just KNOWS how to use great music to great imagery.
And 1 little nifty thing I liked was at the closing credits, The Crazy 88 are credited in similar fashion as:
The female 88 at the end looked especially cool!
[quote]When Elle and Beatrix are fighting and they smash into the bathroom, you can clearly see the shower tiles are made of cardboard. I thought that was pretty funny.[/quote]
That wasn’t cardboard.
It sure looked like cardboard, because I noticed that part too
It was real shitty vinyl.
Oh, Man/Okinawa. If you want a “Leone’esk build-up with Spaghetti Western music”, then you’ll defiently get it when Elle & Bride draw their swords.

You could’ve said that in the first place. Your post made it sound like you thought it was real tile. :-/
Shot of Beatrix’s hand coming out of the grave is just like the ending of Carrie.
hey i’ve been reading this forum a very long time and now i’ve decided to post
not really a nifty little little shit, but i noticed that the scene of bill throwing his knife at that guy that was in the trailer isn’t int he movie, and that black guy with the samurai sword…
i thought the whole panning out scene at the massacre at two pines was awesome, it pans out from inside the chapel, then shows the sweetest shot of the DiVAs walking up, then it goes to an angle in the air, i came in my pants when i saw it

I love that scene, builds up the tension great.
The scene with the Bride in the coffin trying to punch her way out reminded me of the “wiggle your big toe” scene in Volume 1.
did anyone notice the connection between elle and B.B’s fish?
the fish is taken out of the bowl and flops around until B.B. squishes it.
elle’s eye is taken from her and she then flails around like a fish and then the bride squishes the eye. kinda cool
@Laydback: Thanks for the infos! That sounds really great. Thursday is German premier-day and I’ll be the first sitting in the cinema .
Also, when the Bride and BB are watching “Shogun Assasin,” the audio segment you hear is the exact same as at the very beginning of GZA’s “Liquid Swords” album, produced of course by RZA.
The show that is on Bill’s tv is some Roy Rogers movie or something…probably directed by William Whitney, one of QTs favorite directors
During the movie you can sometimes hear a different rendition of “Bang Bang, baby shot me down” playing in the backround
Budd says he pawned the Hattori Hanzo sword…in Pulp Fiction, Butch finds a samauri sword in the pawn shop…connection?
Small detail: The split-screen during the fight between Beatrix and Elle. They both kick each other or something, then fall back, there faces then pop up on the split-screen . Looked cool.
does anyone think that QT is referencing melville’s “billy budd” by naming the brothers “bill” and “budd”?
and, of course, bill and beatrix’s child is named B.B.—is it that simple or does anyone know of another reason–or what B.B. could otherwise stand for??
Budd never pawned the sword. You must be pretty stupid to think that. Hello Uma uses it to fight with Elle. The only reason Budd said that was to hurt Bill’s feelings because it was a gift that Bill gave Budd awhile back.
The name of that Roy Rogers movie is called The Golden Stallion.
I really loved the Shogun Assassin reference. Not only is it B.B.'s favorite movie, it’s also parallel to her life.
