Kill Bill: Revisited Edition (Released)

Kill Bill is an incredible two part epic from mastermind writer and director, Quentin Tarantino. However, there is something about it that didn’t quite sit right with me, and the was the narrative structure.

Volume 1 has a lot of action, whereas Volume 2 has very little action, but much more story and character development. While Tarantino is known for non-chronological storytelling, I don’t think he did as good of a job here as he did with Pulp Fiction.

My intention here is not to replace Volumes 1 and 2 the way they were made, but rather present an alternate version of Kill Bill, condensed into one feature length film, with its narrative re-structured in a more traditional way.

My re-structure is based off of James Rolfe’s pitch, which you can view here:

Funny thing that I am doing something similar as my next project 😛

One movie, chronological (except flashbacks from more distant past), re-scored, grindhoused, I’d expect running time somewhere between 2-2,5 hours.

But the order of the scenes will be different.

Very interesting alternative.

What’s the running time of your version?

If only everything that done for the whole bloody affair version minus the stuff you cut out that was available in the whole bloody affair as well as the original versions was available. 😦

This is not meant to recreate Tarantino’s The Whole Bloody Affair. This is meant to restructure Kill Bill in a more satisfying and linear format, based off of James Rolfe’s video essay.

No what I meant was this but with the new whole bloody affair scenes and the one scene that’s in color in the whole bloody affair as part of it other than that everything else is the same. If that footage was available and you don’t like that idea for your edit I understand just an idea that’s all.

I’m not aware of the exclusive scenes found within The Whole Bloody Affair.

Yeah there’s an exclusive anime scene in it and the one scene that was in black in white is in color don’t remember what the other changes were but yeah. it’s too bad we don’t have an official release of it on uhd blu ray yet. 😦

That’s from the Japanese version of Volume 1, I believe.

Yeah I know but I’m also talking waiting for a uhd blu ray that not only includes that but all the additions he added for the whole bloody affair version.

We’ll see what Tarantino decides for the future.

Hold up, why are the House of Blue Leaves scenes placed after The Bride’s coffin escape and fight with Elle? She goes from the American west to Japan just like that? With different hair and all? Must be jarring, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them so idk

The reason as to why this was done is because her fight against the Crazy 88 is the biggest action piece in the entire film. Typically, the most amount of action occurs in the third act. This was done in order to help the narrative feel more traditional.
