Also....one of my absolute favorite badass moments in any film. They spent the last half hour or more establishing how big of a badass O-Ren is and how she's taken over Japans criminal underworld...chopping yakuza bosses heads off at will and is basically unchallenged. In walks the Bride. I always like to try and picture it from the perspective of O Rens henchmen...what do they think of this psycho? So great.

One of my favorite of all movie moments is Beatrix Kiddo cutting Sophie's arm off and the subsequent yelling and screaming of everybody trying to get out of there.

I always love how it must look to ORen or Orens people even...like, as far as Oren knew she was dead...or at least comatose and most likely to die. Flash forward a couple years and a woman you helped kill shows up interrupting dinner and chopping off your friends arm. ORen, knowing the Brides skills has to have a moment of 'aww f-ck'.

Fuck yeah, dude.

Been years since I've last seen it, but it's zany and wild in a good way.

It's a gift that keeps on giving!
The House Of The Blue Leaves scene is exceptional, but the fight with O-Ren is also an amazing scene....particularly the music choice and the water feature in the run up to the fight. In fact I'm gonna watch it again now.

Great film, one of Tarantino's best. The Bride's fight with the Crazy 88 is one of the best fight scenes ever. Too bad the sequel was so anti-climactic.

I loved Budd as a character...most of the rest was just above meh for me. Budd shotgunning the Bride is probably my second favorite moment of the two films.

One of my favorite of all movie moments is Beatrix Kiddo cutting Sophie's arm off and the subsequent yelling and screaming of everybody trying to get out of there. After shallow cuts of my finger with a knife by accident and how it takes a really long time to stop the bleeding it really gets to me at how serious cuts somehow miraculously stop bleeding and the person doesn't die from it like h/she would in real life. They make it look like The Black Knight in The Holy Grail when they shouldn't. I bet there is a hell of a lot more blood from wounds IRL then what they show in movies.

That gets to me as to "Here we go again! The heroine of the story getting all these second chances to not be killed!" Using rock salt instead of pellets? C'mon man! And I liked the casual demeanor of Budd to. It was also real interesting at how he had a fall from grace. I mean, here he was as a bad ass killer reduced down to a bouncer at a strip joint where he takes orders from a douchebag boss and doesn't even think to fight him back? WTF? Why did he reduce himself down to even going and living in a trailer?

But I will admit that I just love this perfect match up of music with the visuals. The way that Oren comes in with her bodyguards and walking as if she owns the place. Oh wait. She does!

Well...it mattered more to me that he beat her. I mean...he did. He coulda killed her several times over. If you want to read into his character a bit, you could say he was seeking penance and deliberately chose to give her as many chances to kill him as possible. But either way i enjoyed his scenes.

It's interesting how in True Romance Clarence and Alabama are watching The Street Fighter (1974) starring Sonny Chiba. Then Tarantino gets Chiba to play Hattori Hanzo. I love the scene where The Bride visits him to get a new sword. At one point he realizes she's not just some innocent tourist as she pretends to be. And Hanzo's bald employee always cracks me up.

I did to. Go back and check my additional comments on Budd that I may have put in since you first read it. Somehow he became soft and nice in between the attempt on Beatrice to him currently, I guess.

I had a trainee once (not actually mine, somebody else') who cut part of her finger off during restaurant training. That produce a lot of blood. The worst part was calling 911 in a town I didn't know and trying to explain where we are.
There's a lot more blood in real life, no doubt about it.
As long as you're alive, by the way. I watched a crime show years ago where they said blood pours out of a cut because blood is pumping and flowing because you're alive. If you were recently dead, the blood no longer flows so you could stab or shoot a cadaver and blood wouldn't pour out the same way. I think it's how forensic investigators can tell if a person was killed by a wound where the body was found or if they were killed another way, brought to that location and shot/stabbed there to make it look like the cause of death.

I love that scene also. The whole mood changes when she says 'hattori hanzo'...and you can tell hes not sure if shes there to kill him or not...you also hear the bald guy drop a plate or something in the background, presumably overhearing and knowing the concern.

Yeah. And watch the part when they are upstairs in the attic. Where he writes "Bill" in the window and then she wipes it off. What are the chances anyone outside would ever see that and figure something was going on? Is she being too paranoid? Can't really blame her too much after how Bill and his gang crashed her wedding rehearsal!
