Fatal Rose Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Damn I need to see volume 1 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) Was hoping to rent this last night -- it was all rented out. :/ Go figure. Well, hopefully there'll be some copies available tonight. (I haven't even seen the first one so...) But what the hell is this I'm hearing that only the japanese ver. has X. Did we just get ripped off.... again. Damn censors.Was that at Blockbuster? I hope so so you can get the free rental. That scene didn't pass the censors but QT did a very smart thing by making it black and white. It added a sort of artistic panache to that sequence. So its a win win situation, he can keep the scene in the movie for us and it even looks cool. Yup, it was Blockbuster. But I usually don't mind paying for rentals -- as long as the movie looks promising, and especially if it turns out to be a good movie. Back to the topic: so it's in black and white, but on the DVD, is the original scene availabe for viewing in the special features or whatnot? I'm guessing not. Why can't people just accept the original for what it is instead of trying to water things down for the easily paranoid Western societies? Well I don't mind paying for a rental but Blockbuster promises that a new release will be there. Oh well, your choice. It's a very good movie. The DVD actually doesn't have a lot of special features (the colored scene is not included) because I think they're going to add those to the Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 package. All it has is a 'Behind the Scenes', all the trailers for all QT movies (from Reservoir Dogs to Kill Bill Vol.2), and a performance by 'The 5,6,7,8s'. But to me, making the scene black and white isn't really watering it down. I think it looks very cool and is a very neat bit of style. I would like to see it in color but I think I prefer it in black and white because its just so cool. I doubt seeing red blood would substantially enhance that scene. But everyone has their own feeling and tastes. Edited April 18, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Homage to the classic samurai movies, such as The Seven Samurai, Rash-O-mon, Zatoichi, Yojimbo and the such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cominus Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I didnt really like part 1. It has nice "things" and stuff but the story doesnt tie well together. It looks like a comedy but it's serious. It's like a fancy model airplane that looks nice on the cover but when you open up the box it's all in pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain FuKu Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I just saw vol. 1. It's pretty funny. The anime sequence of O-Ren's past history was great. The ending of the last fight sequence sorta took me by surprise. I liked it overall, though the sudden change into the black and white during the fight sequence I did not enjoy. Also, why was Black Mumba's name beeped out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why was Black Mumba's name beeped out?It was bleeped out because you learn her name in the Vol. 2. It was one of Tarantino's tricks to get you to see Vol. 2 so you can learn her name. And I thought it was cool to just know her as The Bride. And am I the only one that doesn't mind the switch to black&white for the fight sequence? But then again, I love old black and white movies. Gouken...you really thought The Punisher was better? Ok, I must control myself. I will not make fun of you, I will not make fun of you, I will not make fun you, I will not make fun of you. Everyone has different tastes, everyone has different tastes. Ok, that wave has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
