Kill Bill

[satans.barber]

The new Quentin Tarantino film is looking pretty good, it's an assasin type film with lots of sword fighting in

Plus, Lucy Liu, Uma Thurman, Samual L. Jackson and David Carradine (isn't he dead yet..? ) are all in it, so it's certainly an all star cast!

Details here:

Looks like 10th October for most of you, and 24th October for the Brits. Looking forward to it!

A Tarantino martial arts flick? That worries me. I'll probably see it in theaters anyway.

Come to think of it, I've never seen a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it that I didn't like at least somewhat.

Yes, he is, but it hasn't affected his acting. :rofl:

Saw some preview footage of it.

Looks bad. Very bad.

Speaking of David Carradine, they've been showing some old episodes of 'Kung Fu' on one of the British Sky channels...now, I'm only 21, so I never saw it first time around, but I can't really see what all the fuss was about! The storylines are pretty weak, the acting is terrible and the fight scenes are astronomically poor!

Why is it mine and everyone else's dads talk about it like it was the best thing since cliced bread!? Maybe you had to be there

Anyway, if Bruce Lee had been in it, like he was meant to be, I imagin that it would have been cool. Maybe, also, he would still be with us, but that's Chaos Theory so I'm not even going to go there...

Nothing creates rose-colored glasses like nostalgia.

Also, you have to consider what TV audiences were used to at the time. If you can, check out the fight scenes and plots in the old "Batman" or "Man From U.N.C.L.E." shows. "Kung Fu" seemed like a gift from heaven by comparison.

Personally, I thought the "Kung Fu" fight scenes could have benefited greatly from a few well-placed 'pows' and 'whams' and 'zots'.

Samuel L. Jackson huh? and he's in another Tarantino flick? the f-word should be flying around like you've never seen it before in this movie.

Jackson and Tarantino.....that's a recipe for excessive and pointless cursing if i've ever seen one.

Once again you grasshoppers have mised the point of the exercise.

The whole show was about listening for Master Po's philisophy and trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about.

Just send me a clip reel with all of Lucy Liu's scenes in it and I could care less about the rest of the movie.
