After someone has seen it, I'd like to know if you need to see Vol 1 before you can see Vol 2.

I have not seen it but I can tell you this. Kill Bill was origianaly meant to be one movie which means there are most likely things you would only get if you saw the first one.

Does anyone have the action figures. A little childish, but they look cool. If anyone does could you tell me where you got it? Kind of want one.

Quentin was on the Today show this am. He was talking about how he always planned on many volumes, and said to expect a Vol 3. He also said that when it's all over (all the volumes) viewers will find it was a love story.

I loved it, but I expected to. More talk and less action than in Vol 1, but the action is very effective. Vol 1 was sort of one big long rampage by The Bride, and this shows more of the background of what brought her to where she is. Some good laughs and even sad moments, along with a few of the expected ick/cringe/shock scenes... Uma is as fabulous as ever, David Carradine was the perfect choice to play Bill.
Bring on Vol 3!!

I thought Kill Bill was just about the best all=round movie I had ever seen. I saw Kill Bill II today and as Melfie said, was more talk than action...and there lies my compaint. I couldn't hear all of the dialogue.. and there was a lot of it..and evidently it was very important...to learn through their conversations everything that was never shown on the screen. It was as though Quentin had volumnes of story details he had to expin to the viewers in order to finalize and explain the ending....and did it through lengthy conversations .
Then, instead of the usual moving list of credits, the cast was shown via actual clips of each actor - with their name. including the actors in Kill Bill I. It was during this that I realized how really great the first Kill Bill was.
The acting, photography, music, etc was first rate....I wish I could have understood all the dialogue. Although, thinking about it now, I didn't need the dialogue to figure out the missing story line........I don't know... I just have a feeling of disappointmnt...am I rambling???

Huh? I mean. Whadidjasay?

I considered that, but I go to the movies usually every week and I've never had any trouble before. I guess I'll have to read the N.Y.Time's Reviews and see if anyone else is going deaf...

Finally went and saw this last night - what can I say..great story when you combine both 1 & 2, seeing that originally it was meant to be one film but was changed to make 2 films. Chuck full of homages (typical Tarantino) - really heavy influence of the spaghetti western. One thing I really enjoyed about vol 1 was the influence of different genre elements to individual characters - giving you a ton of homage themes. vol.2 isn't as full of them as 1 but still alot of fun - found myself laughing quite a bit at what I'd consider absurdity in the use of homages esp. Kung Fu master beard flipping.
For those that didn't really like vol 1 (due to over-the-top gor) you'll be pleased to know there is little of that however there is violence typical of other Tarantino films.

Btw, anyone notice the similarities of Daryl Hannah's character (Elle Driver) to that of Bladerunner in her death scene? Too funny.

Audio Issues: I saw this at the drive-in, didn't have any trouble with dialogue audio so do not think it's the films audio, perhaps it was the theaters system set wrong or something. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.

Bronxie, just so you don't feel alone in this, I was very disappointed in Vol 2. I loved (I mean really loved) vol 1 and had to convince my friend Cliff to go see Vol 2 with me. I assured him he would love it. I was sorry in the end. I found vol 2 to be really slow..lots and lot of dialogue and I didn't care very much for the characters.

I don't know . I guess I was expecting too much and it couldn't live up to my very high expectations.

Bronxie, saw it this week. No problem whatsoever with hearing the dialogue. I am guessing it was your theater.

Loved this one more than the first....Uma and Daryl's fight scene was truly AWESOME and I found David Carradine very sexy.

Jan - I agree with you. My girlfriend and I were so excited that Vol. 2 had finally come out and were HUGE fans of Vol. 1. We went out to dinner, got to the theater early for perfect seats, clapped when the movie started and sat stunned the rest of the movie. After watching the Extra Features on Vol. 1, I believe that there were two movies in one. Quintin did a kung fu movie in middle of Kill Bill and that is why Lucy Liu's character had a much longer and detailed story line. I will be curious to see how the DVD numbers of Vol 1 & 2 compare.

I didn't like Vol 2 as much as Vol 1. I can see it can stand on its own. I'd like to see them one right after the other.

That said, it had some great touches.
