'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair'


"Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2" are awesome movies directed by Quentin Tarantino. He had originally envisioned them as one long four hour movie, but they were eventually split. Both films have been on DVD for some time, but Tarantino tells fans that the two films will be combined in a special DVD titled "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair."

There are several different details between the two separate films and the complete version. Some of the details were that the black-and-white “House of Blue Leaves” fight sequence will be in color; that there will be gorier anime sequences; and no “baby cliffhanger” that’s at the end of "Vol.1."

However, one of the biggest changes to the full version will be the addition of a newly created sequence that will take place during the anime segment featuring Lucy Liu’s O-Ren Ishii. Tarantino is still finishing up "Inglourious Basterds" (since it still hasn’t had it’s theatrical release), but says he’ll move onto "The Whole Bloody Affair" straight after that. Here’s what he told Sci Fi Wire:

“I need to do one thing with it, though… I’m not going to monkey around with the movie itself, but we’ve actually done a whole new section for the anime as the last thing [we added]. I actually wrote a much longer script for the anime section during O-Ren’s revenge chapter. Remember the guy with the long hair that kills her father? It’s like, what happened to that dude? Well, I wrote it and it was the biggest, most elaborate thing I wrote-her taking him down.”

He says that this added anime sequence was conceived back when he had the four-plus-hour movie in mind, as opposed to it being split into two separate ones. He says that the reason they never had the full anime sequence is because it was so big.

Tarantino reveals that he more recently showed Harvey Weinstein exactly what he had written before shooting the Kill Bills and they went ahead and made the extended anime sequence with the same team (Production I.G.) that made the existing sequence within "Kill Bill Vol.1." Tarantino claims that all that’s left to do is go over it a bit with the anime team, to make sure everything’s right.

Have you already bought yourself the "Kill Bill" separate films on DVD or have you been waiting forever for this complete set (like I have)?

More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Finally! At first I didn't buy the movies on DVD when they were initially released, because I knew this was coming. But eventually this version never showed up and I got tired of waiting, so I bought them a couple years back. Curses!

I'm glad it's finally coming out, though.

I almost caved in too, but I have been holding back by borrowing the DVDs from friends. Hopefully this will come out sometime later this year (no date is set).

It would make a great holiday gift!
