Kill Bill - Vol. 2

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 fiance. First up is Budd (Michael Madsen), a quiet but dangerous country boy who lives in a trailer. Next up 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.

    Tarantino again raids old movies for spectacular moments and, unlike Kenji Misumi with the first two Lone Wolf movies (qv), is content to reproduce the past rather than adding anything new to the genre. Here, he also succumbs to sentimentality.

    Poor by comparison

    Not nearly as good as Vol 1, shame, because the previous film was brilliantly structured. This just dragged.

    Unmissable

    This is Tarantino at his best. Vol 2 is where the character development takes place and where parts of Vol 1 suddenly fall into place. A thumping soundtrack (including some Morricone to accompany the many nods to Leone and the spaghetti western), brilliant editing and a cast who make you think they might be playing it tongue in cheek a la Pulp Fiction.

    Don't miss it.
