Kill Bill Vol. 1 UNCUT EDITION!, December 11, 2005
This review is from: Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Director 's Cut (Japanese Import, Region 2) (DVD)
I purchased this Japanese DVD from XploitedCinema.com I went to VideoHelp.com and got directons on how to make my DVD player region free. This DVD is a Region 2 disc and will not work in USA Region 1 set players. I loved this movie and thought that it was awsome since it was Uncut and all. I would reccomend buying this but you need a region free DVD player to wath it on the TV.

You Lose, October 6, 2008
This review is from: Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Director 's Cut (Japanese Import, Region 2) (DVD)
KB1 and 2 are PERFECT. But this review is for Kill Bill 1.
Plot: The Bride is a woman who is getting married. On her wedding day, she gets a bullet put in her head by a partner in her assassin squad named Bill. She goes into a 4 year coma and when she wakes up, she is not ready to make nice. She has a hit list, which consists of the DVAS (Deadly Viper Assassination squad). She goes to Japan, gets Hattori Hanzo sword, and is ready to begin the slicing and dicing.
This is an AWESOME movie. Great Cast (Sonny Chiba? AWESOME!!!!), and great music. Uma Thurman is brilliant in her role as The Bride. She can play The Bride like nobody else can. I was also surprised to see Chiaki Kuriyama as GoGo, the schoolgirl-dressed Crazy 88 who is also strong in her performance.
And not to mention the blood and gore. Over the top, yet in a good way. Whenever a limb gets amputated, blood sprays out in an over the top fashion. Love it! And this is a great film overall, so see it!
And aside from that, this is the UNCUT edition, including the full-on color version of the Crazy 88 scene and more blood and gore, so be sure to seek this out!!

Kill Bill vol. 1 Japanese Release ~ Bloody Good Show!, September 13, 2007
This review is from: Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Director 's Cut (Japanese Import, Region 2) (DVD)
This is Q's uncut masterpiece. It has another 2 minutes worth of footage as to what the distinction is in running times between the Japanese 113 min and the US 111 min version. But the big difference is the House of Blue Leaves in color. Full throttle blood and guts color. The US MPAA forced the washing out of the coloring of blood into gray splattered effects with The Crazy 88's. I mean come on just because it's gray and not red really means anything?!? We all know that it's BLOOD. Just like when Hitchcock filmed Psycho in B & W to avoid the mental challenges of the public of seeing the shower scene in living color.
This was the first dvd I got from another country to play on my region free dvd player back in '04. It's one among many now. I only wish that in the supplement sections when the Japanese artists are speaking about what they did in their own language, that there were English subtitles to what they're saying.
I really hope that the Japanese artists get their full due in the upcoming Whole Bloody Affair; since none of them showed up on the US dvd version. On the dvd set and their words translated into English. Especially in regards to their incredible detail within the Japanimation section of this movie.
