“Kill Bill”

I finally watched “Kill Bill” last night. I know it’s already a history now … but, just wanted to blog about it in case anyone gets even more jurassic than myself.

Well, one word describes it all — bloody. The violence .. gore … the blood. Oh my god. I love this movie. The main cost of making this movie ? Fake blood. Lots of them. It’s the main ingredient. Starring : Fake blood, Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, etc.

Like lots of other action movies did nowadays, this movie emphasizes on martial art actions. What’s an action movie all about without martial arts ? Craps. Gone were the John Wayne era. In this movie, they hired Yuen Wo Ping — one of the famous martial arts director from HK — to arrange for the stunts & fight scenes. Hence, it looked very ‘kungfu-ish’. With flippings and all that.

Samurais don’t fight like this … they usually rides on horses and wield their swords with 2 hands… and would kill themselves over small matters. Like failing to configure their broadband connection. But, not in this movie. Uma waved her sword like loose limbed skanky bitch … mutilating Japanese mobsters that come in her way …. and she single handedly killed approximately half the population of the Yakuzas … not quite logical but awesome. It makes “The Last Samurai” look like a cooking show.

All distinctions aside, there are a couple of mistakes I’ve noticed though. The first one would be when she woke up from her 4 years coma. She recuperated her shrunken muscle for 13 hours (or was it 18 ? whatever) inside that Pussy Wagon. If she really took that long staying inside that wagon, 2 things would have happened.

1) she would suffocate. 13 hours inside an enclosed vehicle = suffocation. Period.
2) arrest by the authority. She just killed 2 blokes inside a public hospital ward… do u think nobody would notice that ? Please.

But no, instead of all that, she’s well and alive. Heck, she could even drive a 4 wheeler without any physiotherapy. We know that is impossible.

Another mistake is … in the movie — Uma was seen carrying a samurai sword inside the airplane. Now, we all know about the security level in airports … those fucker won’t even let you handcarry a nailclipper into the plane … what more a 3 feet+ samurai sword ? It just doesn’t make any sense. What were you thinking, Quentin ? ? ?

But then, these are all small matters that can be overlooked. The main plot of the movie was revenge .. not about messing with law enforcement officer or airport security. Only terrorists does that. Overall, it’s the fight scene that took the cake … which I enjoyed very much. Can’t wait for the second episode.
