scrambler Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 arms, feet and heads chopped off; blood splattered...can't remember what movie had more carnage than this one. Kind of a cross between spaghetti westerns and japanimation. classic revenge story. almost like anime brought to big screen with live actors, though one part of the story is told through comics graphics waiting for vol 2. what you think?

scrambler Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) Good plot, excellent storytelling by Tarantino, good camera shots and technique, though kind of kitschzy(campy?) at times, oh and Uma yum yum Edited November 14, 2003 by scrambler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 The friend I saw KBv1 with postulated that the reason why they made that one scene in animation instead of real life actors is that it would be distasteful to make a child actor play such a gory emotional scene. I don't know, seems plausible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalX Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Great for about 45 minutes. After that it was just BOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Definitely entertaining, a bit over the top tho. Tarantino isn't the genius a lot of people seem to think he is, but it still was worth my $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglehead Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Actually Josh, KB is chock full of references to other movies. He even pays tribute to some freaky 70's drive in slasher flick titled "They Call Her One Eye" But yeah, I don't think he's a genius, he's just had too many cocaine laced gumdrops.

badvoodoo Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Was it just me being unobservant, or was Darryl Hanna totally unrecognizable and haggard in KB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitten Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 There was a bit of violence and subtle comedy "move your big toe"! Typical QT movie - I'll see the 2nd half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 yeah, Jackie Brown was not Quentin's best. I like the current one much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
