The first blood-soaked installment in Quentin Tarantino's outrageous homage to Asian action cinema stars Uma Thurman as the Bride, an ex-killer for hire whose wedding rehearsal is brutally cut short by her onetime cohorts in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Left for dead, the Bride awakens from a four-year coma eager for revenge against two former DiVA allies housewife Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) and Tokyo crimelord O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu). With Daryl Hannah, Sonny Chiba. 111 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
The Bride (Uma Thurman) continues to blaze a trail of vengeance in Quentin Tarantino's smash sequel. This time, she faces killer-turned-burnt-out-bouncer Budd (Michael Madsen) and one-eyed assassin Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), calls on her rigorous training under an iron-handed martial arts master (Gordon Liu), and remembers the wedding chapel massacre that started it all as she prepares for a final showdown with former boss and lover, Bill (David Carradine). Michael Parks co-stars. 137 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
