Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004, DVD)

Movie Description
The second and final volume in Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series is another stylish, sprawling masterwork. VOLUME 2 picks up where the first film left off, as The Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her quest to track down her former mentor, Bill (David Carradine), and exact revenge. But before she gets to Bill, she must first take out the remaining minions who helped to slaughter her best friends and fiancé. First up is Budd (Michael Madsen), a quiet but dangerous country boy who lives in a trailer. Next is Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah), a one-eyed vixen who doesn't appear to have a heart--or a conscience. As The Bride makes her way closer to Bill, scenes from her past are revisited, including her training with the angry and brutal Pai Mei (Gordon Liu). Finally, The Bride locates her man, sparking a truly unforgettable confrontation.


In contrast to the nearly dialogue-free first volume, VOLUME 2 is filled with extended conversations that bring the story full circle. Thurman is once again riveting as the determined assassin, while Carradine delivers one of his best performances ever as the sadistic title character. Director of photography Robert Richardson uses a variety of film stocks to great effect, adding even more flair to Tarantino's already eye-popping vision. Rounding out things is an electrifying soundtrack that features original music from The RZA and Robert Rodriguez, as well as songs from Shivaree, Ennio Morricone, and Johnny Cash.

Editorial Reviews
"[W]ith VOL. 2, the erudition of Tarantino's audacious and triumphant project pays off emotionally."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum

"An adrenaline shot to the movie heart, soul and mind, Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL VOL. 2 is a blast of pure pop pleasure."
Los Angeles Times - Manohla Dargis (04/16/2004)

"[M]ore widescreen-languorous and even contemplative. In fact, the spirit of Sergio Leone must be bowing its head in pride at 2's transparent homage..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (04/16/2004)

"[A]n exuberant celebration of moviemaking, coasting with heedless joy from one audacious chapter to another..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (04/16/2004)

"[T]he most voluptuous comic-book movie ever made….It is rich, substantial and sustained, yet also greasy kids' stuff, a wrapper filled with an extra large order of chili fries, stained with ketchup, salt and cheese."
New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (04/16/2004)

"Uma 'n' Keith share enough sassy lines and high-kicking homicides to hold you..."
Uncut - Stephen Dalton (09/01/2004)

      A KNOCKOUT FLICK! ACTION PACK! MUST HAVE FOR MOVIE FANS

    This is considered to be one the best movie directed by Mr Quentin Tarantino as well as best performance by Uma Thurman in a starting role. I would say the originality of the movie along with the screenplay is breathtaking enough. A must have for anyone that a portable DVD player or laptop w. DVD player because When your on the go on a subway, airplane or long road trip this is a great film to watch.

    I highly recommend this movie, because this movie has been reviewed by many critics and they all agree it is a "A" quality movie.

    Every time you see the movie again, you will see it from a new light or angle. You can never see it too many times, because each time you get a more "aesthetic" appreciation for the movie, unlike other movies where you see it once and toss it to your collection, this one you can watch it several times a year and see new meaning.

    This is also a must have for anyone who is in the movie business, whether you are an aspiring actor/director writer, you can learn new things each time you watch it.

    Overall the movie is an A+

    good directing, script, and acting and the lines are very original along with some of the costumes and techniques by the director. Good camera angles and sharp movement. Great music as well. Be sure to get your copy today.

      If violence...

    If violence were a dessert, Kill Bill would be the ultimate dessert. Whatever you so mostly desire; whether it would be a triple chocolate multi-layered cake, or a scrumptuous apple pie a la mode. It is truly that good.

      AS GOOD AS THE FIRST!

    I like this movie. As I like the first "Kill Bill". The second explains a lot that was missing from the first movie. It is just as good. Very good fight scenes with great choreograph. Acting was surprisingly good again. For an Action movie this is a must have along with the first. This leaves you wanting a third!

      Kill Bill Vol 2 is a Kickin' Ride - Beats Kill Bill 1!
    Review created: 09/30/05
    5 of 12 people found this review helpful.

    I'll start by saying that I'm in the minority - I didn't love Kill Bill Vol 1 because, despite the great action and gore, there wasn't much substance which, consequently, made the action meaningless and moot. With Kill Bill 2 though, Quentin Tarantino brilliantly ties together the action from the first film with a fine balance of plot, dialouge, history and of course bloods and gore. The action scenes are as kick butt as the Kill Bill Vol. 1 - but in Vol 2 they are more meaningful. This movie is incredibly fun and can be enjoyed with or without prior watching of the first Kill Bill. Other nice additions - the video quality and sound are fantastic. The music is moving and strong (ie Johnny Cash) and there are plenty of extras. Enjoy!!

    Cast: Bo Svenson, Christopher Nelson, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Gordon Liu, Larry Bishop, Michael Madsen, Michael Parks, Perla Haney-Jardine, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman
