I have always loved how Bill actually dies of a broken heart.

You can tell Daryll Hannah is having a great time playing a villain. Her speech to Budd while he's dying is so darkly funny to me and her "That's right! I killed your master!" is pure kung-fu movie villain camp at its finest.

23:16 something I realized was that Pai Mei got payback on Elle vicariously through Beatrix, note that Bea snatched out her remaining eye with the same arm that Pai Mei said "belongs to me, I want it strong"

Bud hated her because she broke Bill's heart. Elle hated her, because she was jealous that Bill loved her more than he loved Elle.

Because she is covered head to toe in dirt and she delivers the line so non-nonchalantly "May I have a glass of water please" Is one of my favorite lines in a QT film

"Bitch, you don´t have a future" deserves to be in tshirts along with several other famous movie quotes. Damn. Tarantino is such a master of dialogue.

Beatrix's revenge has some of the elements of Pai Mei's style. Beatrix ordered the surviving members of the Crazy 88 to leave behind the limbs they had lost as those lost limbs belonged to her. She also gouged Elle's remaining eye with the arm that belonged to Pai Mei, completing the master's revenge on the treacherous pupil.

22:56 ~ Growing up in the 80's "You killed my Master" was basically the plot of every kung fu movie 😄

I love how Budd is portrayed as completely incompetent but he's the only one who really lands a hit on Beatrix. That scene where his ninja senses kick in and he "feels" beatrix coming is so cool. Also notice that Paula Shultz has the last name of a certain dentist...

10:20 Paula Shultz is actually a late wife of Dr King Shultz from Django Unchained :)

The scene with the assassin reading the instructions to the pregnancy test is comedic gold. Her "Congratulations!" before she slips away, kills me every time.

The Chinese master who trained her was an actor of several Hong Kong martial arts movies where he usually was the student. That whole part was shot completely in style of the old movies

People use crystallised salt rock granules as a loadout to stun people. Painful in the extreme but not too deep abrasions or damage.

The funniest thing is, in a dark and twisted way, this is a great film to watch on Valentine's Day. The relationship between the Bride and Bill is one of the best hero/villain love/hate relationships in cinema. The scene right before the massacre is incredibly romantic and tragic and their scene right before she kills him is the exact same way. I LOVE how Bill accepts his own death and still admits that she's his favorite person. Kill Bill is, in its own way, a love story. Just with plucked-out eyeballs. And poisonous snakes. And swords.

My favorite line in this movie when Elle realized Budd had not pawned his sword. She says “He said he pawned it” and The Bride says ”Guess that makes him a liar now, don’t it?”. Awesome dialogue!

The fact that Elle had such a hard time drawing her Samurai sword indoors is the reason they used to carry two swords, one long sword and one shorter blade.

Twenty years ago, Uma Thurman was in a serious car crash while on location in Mexico filming the final days of Kill Bill. Thurman suffered permanent injuries to her neck and knees as well as a concussion. It significantly impacted her life emotionally as she has felt betrayed by director Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein-both of whom she says basically abandoned her after the crash occurred.

Hiya. "The $64,000 Question" is an iconic and historic part of American culture, being the most influential of the big money quiz shows on American TV. It was the top prize on the show of the same name that ran on CBS between 1955 and 1958, though the prize itself originated on the CBS show of 1941 entitled Take It Or Leave It. Stay safe. All the best to you.

I miss Bill's speech about Superman. I wish so many people didn't actually accept Bill's twisted truth as Superman canon, but it's a hell of a speech.

30:41 THANK YOU for understanding Bill's perspective and reasoning as to why he did what he did. Most reactors just ignore or brush off Bill's perspective. Obviously, what he did was absolutely wrong and unjustified, but at least, at LEAST, the viewers can see and understand the cause of the crime.

My favorite thing about this Vol. 2 vs. Vol 1 is that she kills EVERYBODY in Vol. 1 and only Bill in Vol. 2.

The Black mamba was most likely already agitated from being covered in money and hauled around in a bouncing suitcase. Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive. They have been blamed for numerous human deaths, and African myths exaggerate their capabilities to legendary proportions. For these reasons, the black mamba is widely considered the world's deadliest snake.

The "Congratulations" from the Lisa Wong assassin lives in my head rent-free. One of those small choices in movies that gives so much humanity to a barely there character.

6:18 to the editor: I love the way you executed this!

I *LOVED* David Carradine as Bill R.I.P

Natalie handled the Arlene kissing Bill on the lips better than most. She even laughed at the calling him your father and kissing him, as she fully understands it is just a ruse. Most reactors, once they hear "father," react as if Bill is literally her father and more or less flip out

David Carradine’s monologue about superheroes alter egos and how they pertain to Beatrix is one of the best monologues in film history. Not only is he giving the best performance of his life but the writing and directing is flawless. And yes he could in fact play that awesome flute. Also the 3 Inch Punch which Beatrix uses to escape the coffin is a real life martial arts technique. Unfortunately they proved on Mythbusters that the weight of the dirt would not only make it impossible but even if they did break through she would’ve been crushed by the weight of the dirt. Still an amazing scene though.

"The $64,000 Question" was an actual game show

Can we just acknowledge how good the Natalies editor is for a moment.

Bea did snatch out someone else's eye in the first movie. During the fight with the Crazy 88.

Given how Bill kept BB and raised her in lieu of "mommy's" absence, technically, this IS a love movie.

BTW, Pai Mei is layed by Gordon LIu, who's a martial arts legend for things like 36th Chamber of Shaolin and dozens more.

I've always seen David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine in the "Kung Fu" series.

The scene of Beatrix walking towards the diner with the dust just billowing off her at every step. Her calm manner of asking for a glass of water, my fave scene in the 2 movies and cracks me up every time.

So many things to love about Kill Bill! It's interesting how her Death List 5 plays out so differently: Oren: She was just a hired killer, who thought herself untouchable. Through skill and brute strength, the Bride proved that was not the case. Vernita Green: Another hired killer. She thought that getting married and having a kid could move her on from her violent past. The Bride proved that was not the case. Budd: An interesting one. Clearly a man who has issues with his brother, but who still shared his anger when the Bride betrayed him. You also get the impression he's a massive misogynist and got off on killing other people - Pai Mai did not train this man. Interesting though how the Bride underestimated him. She thought he would be an easy kill (I think everyone did) but he was waiting for her and, of the five, is the only one to actually best the Bride. Elle: This one's easy. She worshipped the ground Bill walked on, but Bill only ever loved one woman and it wasn't her. She was probably the closest the five came to being equal to the Bride in skill but, like you say, squandered that potential by killing Pai Mai. One thing the film never addresses: how did she explain to Bill what she did when she went back to him? Bill: Bill always intended to die that night. He was ready for it. He regretted taking his revenge the second he did it, but in a sick, twisted way, everything played out exactly how he wanted. With the exception of Budd, he was happy to let the Bride go on her rampage. To let her kill potentially hundreds of people to avenge her daughter, only to discover she wasn't really dead. Plus, in the end, despite everything, you can see how the Bride and Bill still very much loved each other. Bill was never going to try to kill her. Their last showdown was not about a fight to the death. He took his revenge, but also gave back to the Bride her daughter.

That face expression when she said "I killled your Master" was perfection, along with the eyebrow raise

11:00 This scene was terrifying in the theater. It is pitch blackness and the sound of that dirt echoing throughout the theater I will never forget. I literally lost my breath.

First of all, I love your enthusiasm and your insight! I’ve seen so many reviews of this and still, you noticed neat little “bits” that I had never seen or heard of, so many connections made. Thank you, can’t wait for more!

The cemetery scene was intense in the theater. As usual the sound was just way too loud for anyone that isn't already deaf, but the scene of her being boxed in sounded and felt even worse than it ever could at home. Dark theater, dark scene, loud pounding.... QT nailed putting the viewer in the box with her on that one.

Now you HAVE to add ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD to the reaction list. This film has surprisingly grown on me over the years.

You wanna know something wild? The Bride and Elle were supposed to have a more emotional fight like the O-Ren battle, ending with The Bride landing a slice on Elle's neck. Here's the part from the script: "The effect is that Elle Driver is a balloon and her life is escaping before both their very eyes. And now looking across at each other, the two women see the other for the first time, not as adversaries, or opponents, or as rivals, or as bitches ... but as sisters. Elle no longer has enough life in her to stand up ... She falls to her knees in front of The Bride .... . .. then as she dies, she leans the side of her head against The Bride 1 s standing body. Her blood runs down The Bride 1 s leg. As she passes on, Elle gently wraps her arms around the Brides leg. The Bride's hands go down to Elle's long blonde hair, and begins gently stroking it, easing her pain as she expires. Only in death do they find the sisterhood that could have been theirs."

Random movie trivia: Bill's very cool car seen at 6:37 onward is a De Tomaso Mangusta. "Mangusta" is Italian for Mongoose, the small mammal that's famous for its ability to fight and kill highly venomous snakes. The car was probably called that because it was a competitor of the Shelby Cobra, and Bill likely has one because of his conflict with the assassin known as The Black Mamba.

11:44 seeing this scene in the theater was SO CHILLING! 17:41 I always think of Pigpen from Peanuts when I see her with that cloud of dirt following her across that parking lot. 😊 28:27 $64,000 is a throwback to an old game show called "The $64,000 Pyramid".

The volume of the nails being hammered into the coffin was terrifying. Two great movies. Good reaction thank you.

10:45 if you think this is terrifying. Then you won't ready for Ryan Reynolds movie burried. Whole movie is about Ryan Reynolds in a Coffin. Enjoy

There should be a third called "Kill Beatrix" where Beatrix spent all this time building up the defenses for B.B. and Nikkia and others are trying to kill them.

I really wish they would make 2 more films in the franchise: Volume 3 would have Vivica A Fox’s daughter as an adult who seeks revenge for killing her mother. Then volume 4 would be Uma Thurman’s daughter (as an adult) who gets revenge on Vivica’s daughter. Uma’s daughter would be played by Maya Hawke.

Great reaction, great job editor! Love the extra tidbits, you can see there is time and effort put into these. Keep up the great work!!

I always find it interesting that Elle is the only one that does not get any sympathetic back story, and she's also the one you never see get killed. All the others get some kind of sympathetic angle.

Really excellent analysis! I especially liked your thoughts on the necessity of the truth serum. ❤

My favorite part of this movie is that Budd trapping her in the coffin and her climbing out of it is symbolized as The Bride dying and reincarnating as Beatrix Kiddo (which is why her name is always consored until Elle finally says it) and once she gets to Bill's place and gets "shot" by BB, Beatrix dies and comes back as Mommy. Beatrix goes through so many transformations throughout this film that give her so much depth compared to the first film.

Nat!!! Love your content so much! Stay Golden

Excellent breakdown of one of my favorite movies. You have given it even more meaning for me. Rare on a reaction channel. Most of these channels I got frustrated with other reactors who don't get it. Great job.

I just love your reaction and your personality that comes through in your videos. ❤

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

Yay Nat I loved the first kill bill reaction so happy your doing these films - thanks for another great video 😊❤

I got to watch this movie a few months before it came out at a special screening in Austin when my friends and I decided to make it our 1st stop on Spring break. Turns out the screening was at Quentin's favorite theater in Austin where he showed up about 10 mins before the movie started and gave a speech to us about the making of it. He told us to cheer at the good parts and boo at the bad parts, he then proceeded to sit down and watch the movie with us, he stated it was his 1st time watching it and he decided to watch it with us. Also the producer from Reservoir Dogs was there who my friend had a chat with. What a great weekend that I'll never forget.

Theres some great scenes in this.The Pei mei training, the eye pluck,the five point palm. Brilliant.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

30:48 Bill did the same thing allowing Beatrix to think her daughter was dead.

Best birthday present for me. Thank you, Natalie!!!

My dad always saw the first film as a Samurai flick and the second as a heavily influenced by shaw brothers kung fu flick. YUP, giant dif between the two types on films…

Love your movie reviews Natalie! I love the fact you the Kill Bill movies

I literally sighed with relief and smiled when I saw this on my recommended feed, I'll enjoy watching this on my commute by train to work

I loved these movies, particularly this final part! Great reaction, Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so glad you watched these two movies! They are among my favorite in film history.

Loved your synopsis. These movies are perfect to me. At the end of Part 1 when the bomb shell drops, the whole audience gasped and we clapped. Was AMAZING movie going experience. Part 2 was soooo nerve wracking when Bill shows up because we know whats about to happen. And the end “because I’m a bad person” always makes me tear up. Yes even this time. Bravo!

Ive been waiting for this reaction :)

I honestly love the way they executed the movie ❤❤. Such good acting ❤️❤️

7:50 I love that you appreciate the dialogue of this scene. Budds character basically saying we all deserve to get it.. so we'll see what happens lol almost makes him more dangerous in a way because he's not being emotional about it.

I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but the same badass actor, Gordon Liu, played O-Ren's general, Johnny Mo, in the first movie, and Pai Mei in the second one. Absolute legend.

That bonk sound ad 16:17 was comedic gold :D

Currently, BB's child actress is now in her 20's as well as Nikki from the first movie. Uma is bills age now too. Ever die hard fan I know dreams of what the third movie would or could be if Nikki goes looking for kiddo and if she ever trained BB how to use the sword.

The ending credit sequence is absolutely perfect!

Kill Bill Volume 2 is quite literally one of the best examples of quality filmmaking I've likely ever seen. I'm in no way comparing it to other films that stand alone and aren't part of a series or a trilogy, but it's hard to ignore just how much excellence oozes out of this film. The sound design is superb. The soundtrack is meticulously chosen and utilized. The acting is terrific. This film has some of the best monologues I've heard in films (Elle's monologue about the Black Mamba and Bill's monologue about Superman live rent-free in my head amongst so many other memorable lines of dialogue from so many other films). The cinematography is fantastic. The way Tarantino revealed and set up the narrative element of Pai Mei while Beatrix was still buried alive gave such a palpable sense of payoff once you understood WHY the story chose to give us that exposition at THAT specific moment. People often say that they enjoy Volume 1 more than Volume 2, but that's only because they think it's a slower film. Which, to a degree, it is, but realistically, it's simply just more story driven and character driven and less plot dependent. My younger self thought the same, but as I've gotten older, I've grown to appreciate Volume 2 far more. You can tell that Tarantino did actually intend for them to be one whole film. The more you watch them, the more it makes sense. But Volume 2 is just excellent from top to bottom.

You are THE best!

The actor who played Pai Mei is Gordon Liu, one of the greatest actors of the shaw brothers kung fu movies in the 70's (there's a lot of homenage to the shaw brothers movies in kill Bill), he also plays the masked leader of the crazy 88's in the first volume. The Pai Mei character was also a villain in old kung fu movies, and arrogant and overconfident old man with silk white hair and beard, just like this one

Awesome reaction like always! Maybe you’ve heard of Cobra Kai before but I feel you’d have a blast reacting to it it’s a great show

Nat's excitement when Pei Mei is about to be revealed is gorgeous... her eyes go wide and supremely excited.... not to mention the laughs throughout, like when Pei strikes her from above w the cane. Love the energy of this channel so much. *** Others might have said already. Pei Mei was played by the same actor who was Johnny Mo in Kill Bill I. QT was a longtime fan of his work and it is such a tribute to Quinten's kidhood and formative years of spaghetti westerns, kung fu movies, comic books, and of course his musical locker. I've done the fingertip punch against a cubicle wall during a very stressful day and my manager knew Exactly what it meant and laughed aloud. Uma's Kiddo was amazing for this film. And Pulp.

Blue eyed Samurai!!! It bangs!

23:23 the Parallels between this and the Goldfish. Ooh, it's so good

28:24 Bill picked that number because it's a reference to an old radio game show. It was basically "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?", but back then, the top cash prize was $64,000 by answering the final, most important/difficult question. It's to show how much Bill savors the old timely ways, much like how he holsters his gun like a cowboy from a John Wayne film.

Great video ❤❤❤ love your hairstyle. I love your movie reactions ❤❤❤ you always make my day ❤❤❤

Excellent review after the movie! The one thing I would have mentioned is how Tarantino took a little detail like the Bride's real name, bleeped it out, and built up the suspense to make the "Beatrix Kiddo" reveal in Vol. 2 dramatic. Sheer genius . . .

LETS GO NAT!!

For my money, the Pai Mei scenes and her escape are up there with the best moments in cinema of all time.

Amid all the other great things about this movie, I think what I notice most is that it's the best performance of Uma Thurman's career. She's phenomenal.

Great ups. Original Pai Mei trilogy: Executioners From Shaolin (1977) Abbot of Shaolin (1979) Fist of the White Lotus (1980) Quintin brought over the kill move, though it's a ten step death in the trilogy, and Pai Mei's crotch catch, which he uses as part of a finishing combo in the trilogy.

Watching this in theaters, at 17, was absolutely amazing. I saw it 5 times. The first time I was literally shaking with anticipation before the movie started. Kill Bill Vol. 1 Pretty much introduced me to Tarantino and Good movies/Directors. He's still my favorite to this day, 20 years later.

Totally agree with the things you said about music and sound design in the Kill Bill saga. One filmmaker whose work i think you should react to on your channel is that of writer/director/editor/composer/cinematographer Robert Rodriguez. He came up roughly at the same time as Tarantino in Hollywood and they are mutual admirers and consider each other brothers. Rodriguez even did a lot of the music for Kill Bill Vol 2 and Tarantino did a cameo in Rodriguez's Desperado movie starring Antonio Banderas. Other Rodriguez films include The Faculty, the Spy Kids movies, the Sin City movies, Alita: Battle Angel, and 2 of my favorites Planet Terror and Once Upon A Time In Mexico. I think you'd have a ton of fun with many of those so I hope you'll give them a shot. Wish you much continued success with the channel! It's great!

I really liked how they showed that they genuinely loved each other but also hated each other for what each of them did

My second favorite Tarantino film, every frame is just some new kind of art. Every time I watch it I want to watch a dozen other movies.

One fun little detail: Beatrix is told when she learns the Five-point-palm exploding heart technique that the target will be dead by the time they take five steps. Bill takes six steps before collapsing.

So glad you reacted to this series! It’s one of my top 3 for sure! I would really love it if you would react to Sense8… I really think it’s up your alley for the channel! Created/directed by the wachowskis (the people behind the matrix) it is such a beautiful show. From the writing, to the casting, music, and the cinematography. A beautiful experience I don’t think you’d regret at all!

"The greatest warrior I have ever met. She deserved better" When she was literally going to kill her in her coma via poison, in the first movie before Bill called. It doesn't really make sense why she would praise her like that.

I like to think Pai Mei was watching over Beatrix when she was fighting Elle, and whipped his beard to the side in approval when she snatched her eye out.

Fun fact: Michael Madsen (Budd) was who Quentin originally wanted for John Travolta's part in Pulp Fiction but he turned it down because he was already committed to be in Lawrence Kasdan's Wyatt Earp. He denies regretting this decision but has never turned down a Tarrantino movie since.

Your sign-off, stay golden, reminds me of a cool 80s flick, "the outsiders." You would like it I think. Reservoir Dogs also

Love this one, even more than the first. Pai Mei is such an awesome character to have be her master.

Nice reaction Natalie, I liked how evil Daryl Hannah can be after her being in the film Splash with Tom Hanks. She played an evil character in Blade Runner (1982). Beatrix Kiddo finally got her old school long-awaited revenge on Bill, it was so sweet to see her united with her daughter and all is right with the world. Few other movie suggestions: Scanners, Firestarter (young Drew Barrymore), Condorman, Shipwrecked, Dick Tracy (with Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Madonna, Dustin Hoffman, and Mandy Patinkin), and The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad.
