Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine
Tarantino is a genius.
Good looking chicks, violence and kung-fu. He clearly knows the formula for a great movie.
This is a tribute to/spoof of old Japanese anime, 70’s Chinese martial arts films and kung-fu movies. And it is done beautifully. If you are a fan of any of these three genres, then you will get a kick out of a lot of the stuff Tarantino does in the movie. Like the scene where 80+ guys come running in from every door of the club and surround Uma. Then they all are momentarily taken aback when she strikes a fighting stance. There are a whole slew of things like that in the movie.
The absolute best parts about the movie are the soundtrack (some awesome 70’s style music – like they had in 70’s kung-fu movies), Buck’s truck that Uma steals and the scene at the end where Uma and Lucy fight. The snow made that scene freaking awesome.
And as a bonus, you get to hear about 3 solid minutes of that annoying song Vonage uses in its commercials (Woo hoo! Woo hoo hoo!).
Let’s just say that I can’t wait for volume 2 to arrive.
