The worst part was the ending. You call that an ending?
Too many long dialog scenes. Why the silly scene with the Mexican
pimp?

Why did they cut out Michael Jai White? Who was his character
supposed to be? Wasn't there going to be more stuff shot in China?

I read that the additional scene in China was cut to make room for the
Massacre at Two Pines.

I liked it even more on second viewing. Give it another try. I do wish
they
would have put the Yuki story in. She was the twin sister of GoGo. So we
would have got to see Chiaki Kuryama again.lol

Don't know about that but there was a whole sequence cut out of the
first film dealing with Yuri Yubari, the little sister of the
psychopathic schoolgirl Go-Go. She goes after Uma to avenge her sister's
death.

The scene with the "Mexican pimp" was one of my favorites scenes.
Why? Because it was a dead-end. A red herring.

If there's is one thing I cannot stand, its a film with NO padding, NO
filler. The reason is that if EVERY scene is important, it becomes
trivial to figure out what is going to happen next, and that spoils
the film as I'm watching it.

I need to be thrown off the scent with dead-end scenes like the
"mexican pimp" to enjoy a film.

For example, Kiddo is buried alive, then they cut to the scene with
the white-haired master. What do they focus on? Kiddo trying to
punch through wood from 3-inches away. It was trivial to figure out
WHY they were showing me this because I just saw Kiddo buried in a
WOODEN casket. It was obvious the next step was for Kiddo to punch
thru the casket. I did not like that setup. There needed to be
filler there to throw off me off the scent.

It ruined what could've been a great scene. But, hollywood is all
about cutting filler.

Yeah.. i could have done with quite a few scenes dropped from both
films, less in V1, while even say keeping a 3 hour cut of the film for
the 'epic feel'. A lot of V2 was entirely filler.. Budd's job... the
mexican pimp.. the spiderman story.. etc. It felt like Tarantino just
didn't know when to stfu and let the movie flow and as such had to
throw in everything he could dream up under the sun into the two
films. V1 i liked a lot... V2 bored me to tears in a lot of parts.

I thought the ending was nice. Much better than I would have done. I
especially enjoyed the outtake at the end with Uma plucking out the
eyeball
of one of the Crazy 88s.


I always thought the long dialogue scenes were what set Quention's movies
apart. He's an excellent writer. And Part 1 deifnitely had its share of
long
dialogue, so it wasn't entirely different.

I would agree that KB1-2 should have been released as one film with
Carradine's long speeches cut down.

Again, I like Tarantino's writing too much to have cut down much of Bill's
lines. I thought Carradine did an excellent job with them, and I loved
hearing him tell his stories.


What's with the silly MTV shots of Uma driving?
This is like Spielberg and his endless shafts of light in every shot. It's
kind of Tarantino's trademark (or at least one of them). I like the way he
used it to nod to Hitchcock.

But hey, this is just my opinion. :)

Because you are trying to tell a coherent story.. not throw in
everything but the kitchen sink to keep you from it.

Agreed. I could have done with 15 minutes less talking in the second one
in exchange for the Go-Go's sister-revenge sequence in the first one.
