Kill Bill: Volume 1
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Vol. 1, is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in to 2004's Vol. 2), Tarantino pays loving tribute to grindhouse cinema, specifically the Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns that fill his fervent brain--and this frequently breathtaking movie--with enough cinematic references and cleverly pilfered soundtrack cues to send cinephiles running for their reference books. Everything old is new again in Tarantino's humor-laced vision: he steals from the best while injecting his own oft-copied, never-duplicated style into what is, quite simply, a revenge flick, beginning with the near-murder of the Bride (Uma Thurman), pregnant on her wedding day and left for dead by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DiVAS)--including Lucy Liu and the unseen David Carradine (as Bill)--who become targets for the Bride's lethal vengeance. Culminating in an ultraviolent, ultra-stylized tour-de-force showdown, Tarantino's fourth film is either brilliantly (and brutally) innovative or one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism ever conceived. Either way, it's hyperkinetic eye-candy from a passionate film-lover who clearly knows what he's doing. --Jeff Shannon

Kill Bill: Volume 2
"The Bride" (Uma Thurman) gets her satisfaction--and so do we--in Quentin Tarantino's "roaring rampage of revenge," Kill Bill: Volume 2. Where Vol. 1 was a hyper-kinetic tribute to the Asian chop-socky grindhouse flicks that have been thoroughly cross-referenced in Tarantino's film-loving brain, Vol. 2--not a sequel, but Part Two of a breathtakingly cinematic epic--is Tarantino's contemporary martial-arts Western, fueled by iconic images, music, and themes lifted from any source that Tarantino holds dear, from the action-packed cheapies of William Witney (one of several filmmakers Tarantino gratefully honors in the closing credits) to the spaghetti epics of Sergio Leone. Tarantino doesn't copy so much as elevate the genres he loves, and the entirety of Kill Bill is clearly the product of a singular artistic vision, even as it careens from one influence to another. Violence erupts with dynamic impact, but unlike Vol. 1, this slower grand finale revels in Tarantino's trademark dialogue and loopy longueurs, reviving the career of David Carradine (who plays Bill for what he is: a snake charmer), and giving Thurman's Bride an outlet for maternal love and well-earned happiness. Has any actress endured so much for the sake of a unique collaboration? As the credits remind us, "The Bride" was jointly created by "Q&U," and she's become an unforgettable heroine in a pair of delirious movie-movies (Vol. 3 awaits, some 15 years hence) that Tarantino fans will study and love for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon

AWESOME KILL BILL

Kill Bill 1 and 2 was awesome before. On Blu-ray it has been taken to another extreme!

kinda hard to watch but masterful all at once

hey its starman!im back!hey this movie set is really cool.however,there are a number of scenes even seasoned horror buffs could find unerving,unless youre into that kind of thing!things such as...........eyes being ripped out,a psycho blind guy,abuse towards women-one is even pregnant at the time,and even assault on a coma tose uma thurman.nice for horror nuts and may cause life long terror to church goers.buy it!go ahead!but i warned you!.......

Good but the Japanese Uncut DvD version is better

There's no doubt that the picture and sound quality on Kill Bill Blu Ray is very good indeed, but it is still the cut version that has been released.
The sword fight in the restaurent is cut to black and white, also Uma Thurman removing Sophie Fatal's other arm with the Hanso sword has also been cut.
For this reason, I preffer the uncut Japanese version, because it hasn't allowed the censors to butcher the film.

Great Looking- Lacking Features

It really what you want-- both the films in gorgeous Blue Ray high-def, and for a good price for both films.

The biggest problem is that feature-wise, these are exactly the same as the DVD release, there is nothing new, special, or blue-ray exclusive.

CUSTOMS!

Great product - cant fault it, but, if buying from the UK, because of the dollar value of the product, be wary of additional charges...Customs in UK slapped another £12.98 on the cost before it could be pushed through the letter box. Read the AMAZON.COM regs re Customs Charges because the total cost incurred was way more than the UK cost from Amazon.co.uk would have been (if I could have waited the extra month) =(
