Who cares if there is a plot, just so long as there is a lot of hot a&$ chick fighting!

Tarantino's movies typically have very odd plots and he seems to like exploring the method of telling a story as well as the delivery more than making sure his plot line is conventional.

I'm looking forward to the movie and the hot a$& chick fighting!

I have to agree with mcrain here. Who cares if there is a plot. Lucy Lu. Man, hell yea, we will go see that one, plus David Caradine. This is going to be a classic movie!

its kind of disturbing to see tarantino doing such a mainstream type of movie. he seems to have always taken pride in the indie look he gives his films, along with the genious he adds to the way scenes are shot. this movie has a high gloss high explosion factor look to it and i am skeptical. hopefully he wont let us down.

Finally, Quenitin is showing his love for (frick, I forgot his name now, lol) an Asian director who did Broken Arrow, Wind Talkers, etc. He had some hot asian movies he directed back in the day and Quentin is a huge fan. It looks like he's finally doing an asain movie like he's always admired.

Can't wait, and everyday I thank god for the Matrix. It has just influenced the way every major action/fighting movie is made.

it looks incredibly campy and tongue-in-cheek, despite the action. i hope he doesnt lose sight of the qualities that made his other movies so compelling.

John Woo.

Woo did some great movies back in the day, but when he made his jump to the US his movies were terrible. Windtalkers was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

He needs to team up with Chow Yun Fat again.

Yes, Woo, I couldn't get it out. I think what happened with him is he doesn't direct much anymore. He came to American and saw the power Hollywood has over the movies and directors. After his first few movies, you noticed he began producing afterwards? He wanted the control over the script, production, etc. I agree about windtalkers which I think the idea was lame (no disrespect to Indians, it's mostly the war subject) I still think FaceOff was his best, Broken Arrow right behind but none of them touch The Killer.

I agree, I wish he'd team up with Chow Yun Fat (my boy) and make some ass kicking US flix, maybe have Chow Yun Fat against Nick Cage or something. I wait for his next blockbuster everytime he makes a movie. The last few have been ok. Oh wait, he did MI2 didn't he? Ok, I think that was his best, then Face Off :)

wow, looks very cool

Pulp Fu Hidden Angel

I'm sure the plot is going to be quite interesting - although the amount of action is curious.

This is on my must see list of 2003.

D :D

Hey! Mission Impossible 2 was great!

Back to topic: Kill Bill looks to be a great movie. The reason why Tarantino wanted to do this movie was becase he always wanted to do a Kung Fu exploitation film.

On a quick note: fight scenes are choreographed by non other than Yuen Wo Ping....same guy that did the Matrix fight choreographies and a lot of chinese films also

Very cool, I'll have to change my title summary

Pulp Fu Hidden Angel Rebooted

And if it is an explotation film, then the humor is almost self depreciating - which can be really damn funny. Can't wait :D

I'd much rather watch a Guy Ritchie movie.

Personally, I think Lock, Stock is much better than Pulp Fiction.

Well, lock stock and snatch were two really simillar movies, almost too close. I'd like to see him do another that had less in common, but with the same style of plot (of course, without Madona).

Regardless, Tarantino's movie will be entertaining and everyone has their own prefs.

Just to let you know, i read the script for Kill Bill (although QT added a chapter too it after the version i read). Its so awesome. if you like kung fu exploitation, and good old QT, you will like it.

not to worry folks this flick is going to kick some major a**

its going to further propel Terentino as the worlds one and only "Rock n Roll director"

i like uma thurman doing anything. :D

If you take the cheesiest of Charly Angels plus the action escens of Matrix and want to compete with James Bond... you are gonna end up with something like this.

It is worth a try:D

tarantino is on a totally different level. you are going about this the wrong way.

james bonds is too trite to compare to this unconventional movie.

Ive watched a million kung fu movies, and I have watched the
Kill Bill trailer a million times, and I can tell you right now. Uma
Therman is gunna suck (fight scene wise). She is too.... timid.
She is just inexperienced, and I think that character could have
been cast better.

Dignan

Feb 5, 2003, 09:00 PM

cast better? Not sure. She and QT created the character on the set of pulp. She always was the character. And the script, kicks....aaaaasssssssss. I have NO clue how they are gonna get an R rating. But the script was so awesome. it will be great. You wait.

Feb 5, 2003, 11:50 PM

Well, I was mainly referring to the fight scenes. You can tell from
the trailer that she is going to do bad in the fight scenes. She
seems timid while fighting. I would much prefer someone with
experience, who can also act. Maybe Michelle Yeoh. If Zhang Zi
Yi spoke better english then she would be good. I was also
thinking Katherine Zeta Jones. She seems like she would be
kick-ass in an action movie. SHe was in that one with Anthony
Hopkins. Well, I am digressing, but my point is that Uma Therman
is inexperienced and it shows.

Well, I think it deserves waiting for the final result (the actual movie) before passing complete judgement. :)

most definitely, but from the limited amount of fight scene footage
I have seen, she looks inexperienced and timid.

It's funny; my uncle wrote Windtalkers.

QT's Woo influence goes back to Woo's HK days. Films like 'Bullet in the Head', "The Killers" which are unbelievable.
I think Hollywood just slapped so many parameters about what a plot is that it stiffled Woo.
I recommend Bullet in the Head to see how much ardenline/ charge Woo had in his HK plots, knowing what happens is almost as exciting as see who and how it happens to.

Also the sword reference of this reminds me of the Jarmusch flick 'Ghost Dog' which for Jarmush wasn't that great.

I always expect great movies from QT, we'll see.

The book or the movie? Remember, my young padawan, that many good books have been butchered by Hollywood.

If he wrote the movie... blame it on the director.

Well my aunt (producer of Windtalkers, Dumb & Dumber) found the idea from, I believe, the original book. Don't quote me on this. My uncle (writer Windtalkers, Blown Away) and his writing partner then wrote the screenplay. Again, don't quote me. I don't know the specifics.
