Kill Bill: Volume 1 Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Vol. 1, is trash for connoisseurs. From his opening gambit (including a "Shaw-Scope" logo and gaudy '70s-vintage "Our Feature Presentation" title card) to his cliffhanger finale (a teasing lead-in to 2004's Vol. 2), Tarantino pays loving tribute to grindhouse cinema, specifically the Hong Kong action flicks and spaghetti Westerns that fill his fervent brain--and this frequently breathtaking movie--with enough cinematic references and cleverly pilfered soundtrack cues to send cinephiles running for their reference books. Everything old is new again in Tarantino's humor-laced vision: he steals from the best while injecting his own oft-copied, never-duplicated style into what is, quite simply, a revenge flick, beginning with the near-murder of the Bride (Uma Thurman), pregnant on her wedding day and left for dead by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DiVAS)--including Lucy Liu and the unseen David Carradine (as Bill)--who become targets for the Bride's lethal vengeance. Culminating in an ultraviolent, ultra-stylized tour-de-force showdown, Tarantino's fourth film is either brilliantly (and brutally) innovative or one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism ever conceived. Either way, it's hyperkinetic eye-candy from a passionate film-lover who clearly knows what he's doing. --Jeff Shannon Kill Bill: Volume 2 "The Bride" (Uma Thurman) gets her satisfaction--and so do we--in Quentin Tarantino's "roaring rampage of revenge," Kill Bill: Volume 2. Where Vol. 1 was a hyper-kinetic tribute to the Asian chop-socky grindhouse flicks that have been thoroughly cross-referenced in Tarantino's film-loving brain, Vol. 2--not a sequel, but Part Two of a breathtakingly cinematic epic--is Tarantino's contemporary martial-arts Western, fueled by iconic images, music, and themes lifted from any source that Tarantino holds dear, from the action-packed cheapies of William Witney (one of several filmmakers Tarantino gratefully honors in the closing credits) to the spaghetti epics of Sergio Leone. Tarantino doesn't copy so much as elevate the genres he loves, and the entirety of Kill Bill is clearly the product of a singular artistic vision, even as it careens from one influence to another. Violence erupts with dynamic impact, but unlike Vol. 1, this slower grand finale revels in Tarantino's trademark dialogue and loopy longueurs, reviving the career of David Carradine (who plays Bill for what he is: a snake charmer), and giving Thurman's Bride an outlet for maternal love and well-earned happiness. Has any actress endured so much for the sake of a unique collaboration? As the credits remind us, "The Bride" was jointly created by "Q&U," and she's become an unforgettable heroine in a pair of delirious movie-movies (Vol. 3 awaits, some 15 years hence) that Tarantino fans will study and love for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon

 1 is def better than 2 January 10, 2009
Ryan E. Wool (NYC, NY)
Great buy on the Gold box deal. First one is much better with all of the fight scenes, the second one is also good but Kung fu dialogue is not bearable after the first hour. Overall, a must buy on bluray.
Kill Bill New Technology - Amazing Price! January 9, 2009
L. T. Davenport (Jacksonville, FL USA)
If you're here, then you probably already know/belive that Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2 are awesome movies. If not, then they're great if you like the pulp-fiction style of storytelling with lots of over-the-top action.
This bundle is great for those that want to add this pair of movies to thier blu-ray collection at an amazingly affordable price. I've seen these movies being sold each for more than this bundle is.
If you like these movies & have a blu-ray player, this should be a no-brainer. GET IT!
Great flick made better by blu ray December 30, 2008

If you like intense and gory fight scenes, you will love this movie. I am not huge into fighting movies normally, but this one involves rockin' girls kicking some *@$ so I loved it!!!
If you have a blu ray player, it is even better the the original is still good. ENJOY!!!
Fake blood never looked so good. December 22, 2008

Quentin Tarantino has delivered a feast for the masses with a side of water, cornstarch and some red food color. As always they are great movies, but the picture quality stands out amongst other live action films. Double Dipping for these movies was a treat especially at the price.
