The style was not chinese at all… look at it - it was Japanese.
Hmmm…I dunno about that. Even when she’s using the katana, she is doing CMA ground techniques. Add to that the Rope Dart, and the Knife vs Open-Hand sequence, and I would say it was well infused with CMA.
I hated just about everything about it.
More good looking hollywood actors loosely imitating martial arts.
I saw there “training”. Duh.

I was referring specifically to the sword sequences. That’s the only part I can really see anyone saying lacks style.
I love it. Although I would rather it have been one movie and not two. I could gladly sit through 4 hours of blood dripping blade fights.
4 outta 5
..And who cares if the sword fights are ‘stylish’. She ****ing KILLS people, not like the average Jet Li movie where he punch them in the head forty times.
Did you notice the Charlie Chan reference (“Son number one, this tall drink of c0cksucker ain’t dead.”)? Pretty funny…
The music is great, yeah. I’ll be sure to get a copy of OST. Nancy Sinatra rocks 
Any word on Part 2’s release date?

“Kill Bill” (cut scenes???)
I was just reading an interview with David Carradine that took place before the release of “Kill Bill vol. 1”. In this interview, he mentioned scenes of him training at Pai Mei’s temple and a sword fight with Michael Jai White. I can’t recall seeing either in the movies. Were these scenes cut? Does anybody know why, or what they might have given to the story? What was Michael Jai White’s role in the story?
They had to take out alot because it would take up too much time. ( the reason to split it in 2) I read they would show Bills training with the Mexican boss and his training with Pai Mei.. I think Jay was supposed to be connected to Vivica Fox
jai white!
we talked about this on a another post called what happened!! started by yours truly! jai white’s role was as an assasin sent by this cassino owner to kill bill dave was gonna have a fight scene but thery cut it it’ll be in the dvd. the sad part is jai white was still plugging the movie even thou his scene got cut plus. he’;s an assshole so there you have it!! as for the training part with pak mei! it’s going to be in the next installment of the movie. an anime which tells the story of bill!!!
Kill Bill special edition?
Has anyone heard if they are going to make a special-edition of Kill Bill, or maybe even offer the movie(s) as a set? I read the script before the first one came out, and there were some potentially cool scenes that didn’t show up in either of the theatrical releases – I guess I’m not even sure that Tarrantino filmed them, but I would consider holding off on getting the DVD’s if something like this were to come out …
He’s going to release an uncut special edition as one movie, but I don’t know when it’s due out. He’s also in pre-pre-production on Volume III.
source?
Where did you hear about the Vol. 3 stuff? From what I was told, when Quentin made the statements that he would eventually make a Vol. 3 where Nikki, Vernita Green’s daughter, would get revenge on the Bride, he was actually just “messing” with the press, as he has been known to do in the past, and that he wasn’t actually serious. That is what most Tarrantino fans have said … that he was deliberately trying to mislead the paparazzi in a mischevious kind of way.
When you think about it, this movie could go on forever, because Bill and the Bride’s daughter could then take revenge on Nikki, etc., etc. Personally, I think a Vol. 3 would be redundant.
P.S. Which of Bill/The Bride’s mentors did you like better?
I would guess from both of our avatars that the answer is obvious, although I have to admit that Sonny Chiba stole the show in Vol. 1.
I read an article about it, but I guess he could have been joking. At any rate, as far as I know, he still plans to release an uncut version.
What is your avatar from? That’s not Bak Mei from Kill Bill, Executioners from Shaolin, or Fists of the White Lotus.
I like Gordon Liu’s role as (bak)Pak Mei the white eyebrow master
avatar
Actually, my avatar is Gordon from Kill Bill.
I got it from some photos they took in production – I have about 3 more I considered using, but I wanted to get one where he was stroking his beard 
It’s too bad Lo Lieh couldn’t have been Pai Mei in Kill Bill, but who better to fill in than Gordon? Brilliant casting move by Quentin …
I feel that a volume III is unecissary. It had a solid ending in vol. II and it should be left alone IMO. As for a box set or whatever, Im waitin for that to come out before i buy it
