Synopsis

Perhaps the most highly anticipated film of 2003, Kill Bill Vol. 1 marked the return of renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino after a six-year hiatus. Re-teaming the director with Uma Thurman for the first time since 1994's Pulp Fiction, the film was originally the first half of what was to be a three-hour-plus movie before being split into two films. Thurman stars as The Bride, one-fifth of a team of assassins called DiVAS. When The Bride opts to leave the outfit for a life of marital bliss, it doesn't sit well with her boss, Bill (David Carradine), so he has her former cohorts, played by Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, and Michael Madsen, show up at the nuptials, leaving behind a blood bath. Miraculously, The Bride survives a bullet to the head and, four years later, she sets out for revenge against her four assassins and their employer. The story is concluded in Kill Bill Vol. 2, released six months later. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Customer Reviews

Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Widescreen AC3 Dolby - Blu-ray Disc (6 out of 6)
Tarantino's Tribute to Kung Fu Films

Posted by: from North Andover, MA on 04/29/2013Everything about this movie is what you'd expect from Quentin. It is comparable to his classic Reservoir Dogs in innovation, style and his innate ability to pick up on popular culture conciousness and take it to the next level. If this homage to 1970s, King Fu doesn't get to you then you just don't like Quentin. The end fight scene is better than any I've seen in action/fantasy, Kung Fu with swords based in the Orient.

Posted by: from Fond du Lac, WI on 03/17/2013I had been seeking this for quite some time and would never be on sale. Well, it finally became available. A relatively good $7 investment.

Posted by: from Gainesville, Fl on 01/20/2013Good clear transfer to blu ray. A must have for Tarantino fans. Not many extras for being blu ray. A great value at the black Friday price of $3.99 and a great addition to expand my blu ray collection. A movie I will watch over and over.

More extras would have made this great....

Posted by: from Atlanta, GA on 06/04/2011Aside from the higher definition, I thought the purpose of spending extra for the blu-ray was the additional content? If you already have the DVD versions of the Kill Bill volumes you might want to pass on the blu-ray versions. The content is exactly the same as the DVD extras and the picture quality may not be enough to warrent the extra cost. But both movies are fantastic and make a great addition to any blu-ray collection.
