Product Description
From Amazon.com
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Vol. 1 is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in to 2004's Vol. 2), Tarantino pays loving tribute to grindhouse cinema, specifically the Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns that fill his fervent brain--and this frequently breathtaking movie--with enough cinematic references and cleverly pilfered soundtrack cues to send cinephiles running for their reference books. Everything old is new again in Tarantino's humor-laced vision: he steals from the best while injecting his own oft-copied, never-duplicated style into what is, quite simply, a revenge flick, beginning with the near-murder of the Bride (Uma Thurman), pregnant on her wedding day and left for dead by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DiVAS)--including Lucy Liu and the unseen David Carradine (as Bill)--who become targets for the Bride's lethal vengeance. Culminating in an ultraviolent, ultra-stylized tour-de-force showdown, Tarantino's fourth film is either brilliantly (and brutally) innovative or one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism ever conceived. Either way, it's hyperkinetic eye-candy from a passionate film-lover who clearly knows what he's doing. --Jeff Shannon

Don't Waste Money on Domestc Version,
By A Customer
I am giving the movie only 1 star because of the domestic DVD version of this film. BEWARE!! The movie itself is an awesome film. However, the Japanese release and DVD contain far more detail. Not only is the Japanese version 3 minutes longer, but the Yakuza fight scene is filmed entirely in COLOR. Furthermoe, the Japanese version contains the graphic trunk dismemberment scene of Uma cutting off the other arm of the assistant. The Japanese DVD contains all the same features, and much more! Don't be fooled by the domestic release!

New Levels of Gratuitous Violence,
By A Customer
While I certainly admire Tarantino's style as a filmmaker, this is a classic case of something filled with sound and fury signifying nothing. All style and absolutely no substance, it was like watching a two hour video game fight scene, with the gore setting turned on maximum. I suppose young boys (and yet to grow up college males) love this kind of mindless blood fest, but I just hated it. I really hated this movie.
