David Carradine is the one who probably stopped me from going to sleep.

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2019)

I haven't seen the first Kill Bill since its theatrical release and this part, never. In the mood to look back at Tarantino's earlier films I came across a piece that suggested part 2 was far superior to part 1. I deduced that the first part would concentrate on the awful treatment metered out and a prolonged training process in readiness for revenge which would be part 2. This, it seems is only partly true with the first actually being much more a traditional QT product full of style and panache with the second much more interested in giving the characters background. Unfortunately, for me, this includes much martial arts mumbo jumbo and a rather drawn out film with little style. Michael Madsen is great, Thurman fine and David Carradine is the one who probably stopped me from going to sleep.
