Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The first film in six years from acclaimed writer-director Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill Vol. 1 is certain to create a stir. As with all of Tarantino's films, music plays a major role. For Kill Bill Vol. 1, a martial arts flick about an assassin who seeks revenge, The RZA from the multiplatinum-selling Wu-Tang Clan takes centerstage, surrounded by the sort of vintage, quirky tracks that made the soundtracks to Tarantino films such as Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown such fan favorites.

Amazon.com

Fashion be damned: Pop culture is just one big Hometown Buffet for writer-director Quentin Tarantino. Nowhere has that sensibility been more apparent than on his hand-picked soundtrack choices, and this oft tongue-in-cheek tale of a female assassin's revenge (his first film in six years) is no exception. With dizzy, almost palpable glee, Tarantino evokes the international hall-of-mirrors influences that energize martial arts films and much of Asian pop culture in general. Thus the hip-hop of Wu Tang's RZA (who, along with composer Charles Bernstein, concocts what passes for the score's traditional cues) somehow finds itself but one ingredient in a heady souffle that includes vintage TV and film cue rarities (Al Hirt's main title from The Green Hornet, Bernard Herrmann's haunting theme from Twisted Nerve, the spaghetti western melodrama of Luis Bacalov's "The Grand Duel," Isaac Hayes in full blaxploitation mode on "Run Fay Run"), Charlie Feathers' vintage rockabilly and a pan-kitsch sensibility that encompasses Zamfir, Nancy Sinatra's angst-in-the-pants take "Bang, Bang" and Santa Esmeralda's disco-era workout of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Tarantino's contemporary Japan-Pop selections are no less giddy, ranging from Meiko Kaji's sultry "Flower of Carnage" to The 5.6.7.8's loopy "Woo Hoo." It's everything we've come to expect from a Tarantino score (including dialog excerpts and a few sound fx stingers), with a madcap trip around the pop music world thrown in for good measure. -- Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 starsAll Killer, No Filler!
By Hippie Chris on March 27, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I recieved my copy of the "Kill Bill Volume 1" Cd yesterday, and immediately socked it into the car stereo to listen to on my way to work... Well, I'll tell ya... From the opening notes of Nancy Sinatra's take on "Bang Bang" to the "Ironside Theme" exerpt, I was totally BLOWN AWAY by the sound quality and song selection.
As a musician who records his own music, I'm fairly critical about the sound quality of the Cds I collect. Most of them come from the 60's "Psychedelic" era I grew up with and were transfered from old analog tape masters... Some sound better than others, and I give them quite a bit of leeway considering the available recording methods at that time. However, I expect a certain clarity from "Modern Era" digital recording methods in my 'newer' stuff...
On the "Kill Bill Volume 1", whoever did the sound levels and mixing, did a FANTASTIC job! I found myself bopping around in the drivers seat to the music as I drove to work. My favorite songs are:
."Run Fay Run" (Issac Hates)- The Song grabs you from the first note, and doesn't let go.
."Twisted Nerve" (Bernard Herrmann) - Spooky and deiicious!
."Woo Who" (The 5,6,7,8s) - Goofy as hell, and a cool drum solo that you can't hear very well in the film.
."The Lonely Shepherd" (James Last & Gheorghe Zamfir) - Builds and builds in layers of emotion.
."Green Hornet" (Al Hirt) - I defy anyone to listen to this without tapping your toes to it!
I will be listening to this for a long time to come... Great production, Great music, Great song selection! One word of caution, though... Do not play the 'Queen of the Crime Council' dialog track in front of young children because it is EXTREMELY explicit!
I highly recommend this Cd to soundtrack and music lovers alike! It's all KILLER, NO FILLER! Peace.

5.0 out of 5 starsTaratino does it again!!
By Amazon Customer on March 23, 2016
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Can you ever go wrong with the musical score for Tarantino's movies, for that matter I don't think one can ever go wrong with Tarantino. His movies are the complete package, and the musical score for this wonderful movie is no exception. Love it a lot!! I have the CD in my car and listen to it often. The delivery was very speedy and the packaging was very speedy. Highly recommended to all Taratino movie buffs in particular and lovers of quality movie scores in general!!

5.0 out of 5 starsWorth the purchase
By William Del Pilar on September 21, 2016
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
While not every song suits me and some of the clips are really dumb and just a few seconds (clips from the movie), overall, I love it as I've rediscovered some great jams from my youth (Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood) and also discovered great songs from the 60's (Nancy Sinatra). Well worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 starsBloody Good CD!
By Shane K. Bernard on January 8, 2004
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I recommend this CD for anyone captivated by the movie; it's great from beginning to end with one notable exception. The CD contains the entire tracks of several pieces of music that are only heard in excerpt in the actual movie, including a 10-minute version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (which kinda gets old after a while, but overall it's a cool tune). "Battle without Honor or Humanity" is the instrumental played when Oren Ishii and her personal bodyguards (including Gogo, the bodyguard dressed as a Japanese schoolgirl) are walking in slow-motion as they enter the House of Blue Leaves (one of my favorite scenes in the movie, for some reason). "Flower of Carnage" is, despite its title, a beautiful ballad in Japanese. (I wonder how the lyrics translate?) The only track on the CD that I dislike (and I strongly dislike it) is "Ode to Oren Ishii" by RZA, which is a rap song about Oren that sounds like it was written by a five-year-old, so lame are the lyrics. "I wanna dedicate this song right here to O-Ren Ishii, Half Chinese/Half Japane-see, Half American." Half Chinese, half Japanese, half American . . . is that mathematically possible? And ryhming "Ishii" with "Japane-see" -- is "Japane-see" a real word? Sorry, but the song annoys me! My only other quibble is with the sound effects at the end of the CD (axe throws and sword swings): they don't sound like axe throws and sword swings; rather, they merely sound like electronic noise, which clearly works fine in the movie, but at only a very few seconds each these little sound bytes don't add anything to the CD. I'm complaining too much, though -- 95 percent of the CD is terrific, so I say buy it!

If you loved the movie, you'll love the soundtrack. And, if you are a figure skater, excellent choice for program music! It also makes terrific background music for playing battlegrounds in World of Warcraft. :)

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat Soundtrack, Missing some of What made it Great
By A. Wakefield on June 11, 2004
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
If you have seen the movie, you know that the audio component is a sheer joy.
This cd, as a packaging of that 5+ star sheer joy, is lacking and imperfect, not up to the standards of the movie.
Here is what makes it flawed.
A: It is missing at least 2 standout tracks that I very much want to listen to separate from the film:
1) the Chinese Battle Music that plays during the Bride's fight with the Crazy 88's. The timpani, strumming, and crazy asian chanting are just absolutely delicious. this should not have been one of the first things to go if they needed to make room.
2) Missing the "angelic" music that plays during the scene where the Bride views the collection of Honzo swords. A very pretty songs that I would have liked to have on the cd.
Other gripes:
B) The rapping by RZA (who generally did a teriffic job composing here) on "ode to Oren Ishii" is not good at all. The score as it is in the movie would have been fine. Instead, they changed the track, and it actually is painful to listen to him rap over the beautiful bit of music. I have nothing against rap, it's just not good. I feel like I can hear him trying to think up rrhytms and rhymes and missing a number of them. Someone should have noticed this and said, "tis isn't up to par, either do another rap or we'll leave it isntrumental as in the movie."
I have no other real gripes except that the sequence is not chronological and it doesn't sound especially wonderful in the sequence they have it, so I'm not sure what the point of putting it out of seuqnece is. Also, the dialogue tracks are not really necessary. If they were to be icluded, this should have been chronological and they should have been inserted at approriate points.Read more ›
