Film: Kill Bill, Volume 2 (2004)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Kill Bill - Volume Two

"Now remember, no sarcasm, no back talk. At least, not for the first year or so. You're gonna have to let him warm up to you. He hates Caucasians, despises Americans, and has nothing but contempt for women. So in your case... it might take a little while. AdiĆ³s."

Review: Volume 2 is very different from the first film. While the first was a non-stop action film with minimal dialogue, the second is filled with long conversations filling in the missing back story and explaining the relationships between the characters. The training flashback of The Bride by Pei Mei is very good.

"You any good with that shotgun?"
"Not that I have to be at this range, but I'm a fucking surgeon with this shotgun."
"Well, guess what, bitch? I'm better than Annie Oakley and I've got you right in my sights, so let's talk."

"I'm a killer. A murdering bastard, you know that. And there are consequences to breaking the heart of a murdering bastard."
