Kill Bill Vol.1/Kill Bill Vol.2 Blu Ray – Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah

Kill Bill (2004): Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! In part 1 of Quentin Tarantino’s delirious revenge movie Uma Thurman plays ‘The Bride’ a woman seeking vengeance on those who massacred her wedding party… Inspired by countless Japanese swordplay actionfests (the classic Lady Snowblood among them) yakuza gangster thrillers (offering a cameo opportunity to genre icon Sonny Chiba) and Chinese martial arts movies (hence the knowing appearance of Jackie Chan contemporary Gordon Liu) Quentin Tarantino borrows from the best in order to shape his deliciously over the top cinematographic style into a simple but effective plot. Look out too for Battle Royale alumni Chiaki Kuriyama as Lucy Lui’s weapon-wielding schoolgirl bodyguard and the gravel-voiced Shun Sugata (he of Ichi The Killer fame who also appeared alongside Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai). Homage? Pastiche? Kill Bill is not just for movie anoraks complete with all the super-smooth tunes that you’d expect from a Tarantino soundtrack it’s definitely the most outrageously entertaining film yet from cinema’s king of cool! Kill Bill 2 (2004): The second part of Quentin Tarantino’s deliriously stylish movie as The Bride (Thurman) continues her typically blood-soaked revenge quest… Having killed two of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad The Bride continues her mission to avenge the three remaining names on her death list that turned her El Paso wedding party into bloody carnage and left her for dead. Her attention turns to Budd (Michael Madson) Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) and finally the corpse littered path leads to Bill (David Carradine). However an unexpected survivor complicates matters…
