He serves as the narrator.

Brandon Castillo4~ said:I actually picked up the soundtrack just yesterday, and it’s fantastic.👍

The track you're looking for is number 4, "Twisted Nerve" by Bernard Herrmann

My advice? Don't just download that one track; get the whole album...🙂

If my sister doesn't track down this soundtrack for Christmas, I'm getting all medieval on her.

Think you could find one for me too?

Justin Patel said:First off, the movie hits in February—that’s the second month, which has 29 days this year since it's a leap year, and honestly, I’d rather be heading to Athens right now-

Second, anything dubbed is automatically worse than the original version. You're dealing with two different languages, so you just can't capture the exact same impact of the dialogue delivery.

Third, I really wanted to go see Underworld, but I had to drop some cash $200 on a new phone, so I'm totally broke.
I've only got twenties left.

American dubbing is absolute crap because of all the regional accents—you know, Southern, New York, Chicago—and the fact that Americans did the work, I don't know, they just couldn't nail it.

Tarantino mentioned he was going to make a gap of "only" 6 months, so maybe the distributors just rushed the release.

Watched Underworld yesterday; one comment is enough: Kate in PVC and that sick directing with all the dark details.👍

silentcobra6 said:P.S. Is there a specific track on the official soundtrack—you know, the one playing when that lady with the single eye shows up disguised as one of the sisters to "visit" the Bride? What’s the name of that song if it’s actually on there? I need to "download" it. Also, does Tarantino have any kind of cameo in Vol. II?

Yeah, regarding that fourth thing. The soundtrack...👍 👍 👍

Personally, my absolute favorite is track 9, 'Battle Without Honor or Humanity'.

The only thing about this soundtrack that gets under my skin every single time is S. Esmeralda's "Don't let me be misunderstood"—it’s dragged out to ten minutes, when really, only the first thirty seconds or so actually work for the film... and every time it skips on my CD, I can't help but think of Jurica Padjen.. 👎

There's zero point to track 6—that whole monologue, I think it's the "Ode to O-Ren Ishii," but everything else is just 🙏 ...with a heavy emphasis on tracks 1, 9, 13, and 14.
Absolutely brilliant...

It’s such a textbook example of how Quentin Tarantino works—just take something iconic from another movie and somehow make it feel like his own. 👍

So, did you hear who's playing Bill? I was floored when I found out...

Chang Caine!!!!!!

"Kwai Chang Caine was a priest at a Shaolin Temple. The temple was destroyed and father and son each thought the other had perished in the fire."

Honestly, both him and MacGyver were my absolute role models back in high school.

So... I caught this movie in New York City a few days ago (and finally, FINALLY, I actually had enough legroom in the theater, which was an immediate win for the whole experience) and, oh my god, you guys, I was blown away!!!!
I mean, you can't really expect anything different when it comes to Tarantino, but still....
Personally, that one scene totally floored me—you know, the one where she’s fighting them all against that blue backdrop with everyone looking like black silhouettes? Absolute perfection!!! And honestly, I'm stoked for Star Trek too; I can't wait to get my hands on it...........
I wouldn't have bothered seeing it in a local theater anyway because:
1. It's just so uncomforrrrrtable
2. I don't have anyone to go with (like I mentioned before—it's impossible to round up 6 people just to get a theater to open), mostly because my friends are all pretty much allergic to blood
3. Who knows if the theater will even stay open by the time the movie actually hits the big screen here?

But seriously, you cannot miss Kill Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already told everyone I'm heading to the nearest theater to see Volume II the second it hits the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

His voice is just so iconic; they use him in all those TV commercials.

Some Tarantino fans told me this flick was unbelievable, disjointed, and all that garbage...

Look, as a minor enthusiast of Tarantino myself, I’m honestly speechless. The sheer impact of those scenes, the transitions, the fights, the blood, the drama... It was incredible. I’m dying to see the sequel.

I absolutely loved this movie—in the best way possible... I’m already counting down the days until the sequel drops.

This movie is living proof that Quentin Tarantino's prime is officially behind him.
The endless genre references, the constant gore, the over-the-top violence... honestly, I could come up with at least 15 better ways to pull off a parody.
Look, if the whole point of a movie is just to be a joke, then this joke is pretty damn lame to me.

Maybe they can scrape something better together for a sequel.

Caught it yesterday. Only the first three rows were empty, and I ended up stuck in the third one. Honestly, I thought sitting that close would totally ruin the vibe, but it actually just dialed up the whole psychedelic effect. Even if you don't think the movie is any good, it’s definitely its own unique experience, especially if you're sitting right up front in the third row. My advice? Watch it from a close distance 😉. (not kidding) (SERIOUSLY)

The movie is short and sweet, perfectly paced given its specific constraints
Honestly, it’s been ages since I’ve seen anything this good in an AMC Theatres... I can't even remember the last time

Hey, Eric Jackson43! I was sitting in the third row too. Maybe we were watching it at the same time?! 😉 😁
I think the movie is great. Maybe a little bit too much blood, though... 😁
