KILL BILL Trailer Description!! Holy Shizznit!! Get This Sumbitch In Theaters NOW!!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Must see. Must see. Hate this person. Must see. All karmic good must come to me. NOW!!
Hey Harry & Drew and Mr. Knowles (that would be
Knowles Sr.),
Don’t ask me how but this past weekend I got a sneak
peak at what will presumably be the
just-under-two-minute trailer/teaser for KILL BILL. I
don’t know if you’re interested in this type of thing
(the only teaser/footage I can remember AICN posting
were the 40 minutes for LOTR) but if you’re
interested in the blow-by-blow I’ve provided it below.
If you do wind up posting this just call me ‘The Torso of Alfredo Garcia’.
Now onto the trailer…
It opens with a shot of an airplane flying overhead.
Then the music kicks in (wish I could tell you where
it’s from because it does ad quite a bit to the
kick-ass nature of the whole thing). Screen goes
black and in big, red block letters it reads "MIRAMAX
FILMS PRESENTS". Fade out. "THE 4TH FILM". Fade
out. "BY QUENTIN TARINTINO". Fade out. Then you
hear Quentin say "Action!" in the background as a
figure wearing motorcycle leathers opens a car trunk.
Quick cut to Lucy Liu walking down a hallway with what
looks to be her badass entourage behind her (including
pre-teen girls in sailor outfits). Cut to Uma on the
back of a motorcycle riding through the streets of
Japan/China. Cut to an extremely brief shot from some
sort of soirée. Cut to Uma, with her back to the
camera, sitting at a bar. Another card comes up; it
reads: "UMA THURMAN".
Now come the goodies. We cut to Uma in her yellow
Game of Death Jumpsuit defending herself form a
middle-aged Bald guy dressed in black with a mask
(like the one worn by Jet Li in "BLACK MASK") wielding
a katanna in each hand. Cut to an extremely close-up
of a sword/katanna being unsheathed. Cut to a stare
down between a bloodied-looking Uma and Lucy Liu , who
is looking mighty virginal in white while snow is
falling all around. Cut to a bald black guy dressed
in maroon doing some might fancy sword work. Cut to a
dirty-faced Uma punching some lady (Daryl Hannah?)
who’s coming at her with a staff. Cut to Uma, now in
street clothes, fighting a different woman who is
coming at her with a frying pan in a kitchen. Cut to
a black and white shot of Uma with splotches of blood
on her face looking…Shocked, Scared, Confused? Can’t
really tell without context. Cut to a limo surrounded
(protected?) on all sides by motorcycle escort. Cut
to Darryl Hannah walking down a hospital corridor (now
with eyepatch!) in a stylish white leather trenchcoat.
Cut to one of those pre-teen sailor dress-wearing
girls using a bolo. Cut to Uma doing a backflip to
avoid the bolos; the harness work here is extremely
obvious so I can only hope this is a training scene of
some sort. Cut to a montage of Uma’s enemies: A
woman I don’t recognize, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu, and
finally Michael Madsen. Cut to our first and only
glimpse of David Carradine as he simply turns to the
camera and gives a penetrating stare. Cut to a
martial arts sequence in a small village between Uma
and an old master-type guy with a long white beard;
the scene ends with the master literally standing on
the edge of Uma’s blade and then doing a back flip
(and kicking Uma in the face). Cut to Lucy Liu in a
dojo; she shouts something that quickly rallies the
troops and in no time at all Uma, who’s Game of Death
jumpsuit is looking bloodier than ever, is surrounded
on all sides. Now comes the best shot of the whole
damn teaser/trailer, the thing that just makes you go
"holy shit!", you know?
We get a crane shot. It starts at eye level on Uma
and it slowly raises to the rafters so that we can see
that there are something like 25 bad guys surrounding
her, all with swords drawn. Uma then raises her
sword, indicating she’s ready for’em. Pause. She
makes one tiny, defiant movement and (now back to the
crane shot where we can see everyone from above) the
whole circle of bad guys literally take a
synchronized, fearful step back. It’s sooooooo cool.
Anyway, moving on…the screen goes black and once again
we get big, red block letters but this time they read:
"IN THE YEAR". Fade out to someone with blonde hair
(pretty sure it’s Hannah again) doing a flying kick.
Cut to: "2003". Fade out to an axe flung end over end
that whizzes by Uma’s head. Cut to: "UMA THURMAN".
Fade out to Uma doing some sort of flip. "WILL". Fade
out to more martial art swordplay but now in
silhouette. Cut to: "KILL BILL". Fade out to a profile
shot of Lucy Liu; she says, "You didn’t think it was
going to be that easy, did you?" It then cuts to a
profile shot of Uma who responds with, "You know…for a
second there, I kind of did." And for the last shot
we cut to Uma running up the banister of a staircase
to intercept a bad guy with her sword.
End of (one fan-fucking-tastic) trailer .I have to go change my pants. This trailer can’t play theaters soon enough. Hopefully that bit at the end suggests that we’ll see it by year’s end. God... I hope so...
"Moriarty" out.

always wanted to say that

damn, I am jumping up and down, with me, the entire www.tarantino.info crew is pissing their pants. If that report is true, I think we're gonna be confronted with apple.com's most insane website-overload since whatever shitass movie.
KILL BILL IS GONNA KICK FUCKING BUTT!!!!!
c ya at www.tarantino.info guys and girls, I BELIEVE THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE AAAAAAAAAAAWESOME
(btw: 'first' posters are gay) -
And not necessarily in a good way. I have a good feeling that I'll love it, but I'm also a kung-fu, samurai lovin' geek. I hope the trailer is strong enough to get people juiced to see it.
-
Sounds really really really really really really really excellent.
-
Here comes the Bride, you lame-ass pansies! QT & UT are going to fuck your shit up!
Enough of this chruch BS-- from now on, I'm praying to QT. Anyone else wanna join me? -
that this film, the script, Harry's reports from China, etc. have recieved, you have to hand it to QT - he knows how whet our appetite. The description of that final scene with everyone taking a step back - that's gold. There's no reason not to get excited about this - any true film fan who says he/she isn't excited is just trying to subvert the hype. QT has delivered every time so far - I'm not betting against him now.
-
Dunno what to think of this...
A literary "shot by shot" description of a trailer someone saw? How can you recall a trailer shot by shot if you're not a total.... PLANT????? -
Here's an idea,
Copy their email adress down and feed it into every loathsome spam list and junk mail list on the web, everytime you get asked for your email when downloading software just enter a first posters instead...
If you like the idea then pass it on and be sure to use it, and often... -
Hey, Einstein, how many people who post here were stupid enough to list their primary email addresses? Your head can be used for more than just hat rack, pal.
-
How is the action better shot? Or is it just that he's bringing in foreign culture, which we're all supposed to think is the savior of dull American film ?
-
Uma's gonna use your clit as a pencil eraser.
-
Or at least aknowledge the problem. IF THIS IS TRUE (talking about the trailer description now) it is, to answer the question asked cool indeed. But this could be fake too, drawn from various sources. Not that it stops me from checking the Apple trailers-site every minute or so. And The Facer Hulk looks familiar - I got it, it's The Grinch who ate christmas. Many times.
-
CNN never acts up like this, and since this is like GeekNN...well, anyway, QT. I love this shit. I need to get me a pair of those yellow tracksuits.

Carrdine can't even hold a candle to him.

I'm not a religious person, but once again: OH--MY--GOD!!! That does indeed sound like one of the coolest trailers of all time (of course excluding the original "Clockwork Orange" trailer and Roger Avary's RoA "Clanky" trailer--or fuck it, maybe not!) I'm proud to have done my part in reporting on this (by the looks of it) amazing film & I can't wait to see it! Sup

I wish Uma was Arwen.

Seems that the Weinstein's have their secret weapon against TTT all in place now. I, for one, still think that releasing GoNY the same weekend of the Lord of the Rings is a suicidal gesture, but this will definately help to pull in more crowds.
-
and an entourage of preteen girls in SAILOR outfits?!?!?!??
what could this possibly be?
The kung fu will ROCK WORLDS THIS SIDE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM no doubt in my mind -
Unless they are working with the trailer/movie at the moment. I dont think its a plant, i wish it smelled more like a plant because then we'd know its true. But because its a shot by shot description is rings like a well executed forgery by some QT fan. Ah well hope the trailer turns out like this anyway, sounds very good indeed.

by empyreal0
...nevermind the fact that a trailer is a marketing piece designed to be a flashy, bite-size concoction that will show you everything you want to see and nothing you don't want. Add to that the fact that you're not actually seeing, but reading this. Add to that the fact that Tarantino is an arrogant fuck, I don't care what you say. Yay. So there's a trailer. Big surprise. Let's all just wait until it hits apple like every other movie trailer.
-
Jesus Christ empyreal0, what makes you give a flying fuck what people think of trailers. Did Apple.com rape and kill your parents or something?
Well anyhoo that description got me pretty pumped even though the guy doesn't know shit about the film other than the actor's name. And "sailor outfits"? You mean Japanese school girl outfits maybe?
"A woman I don -
I said in a previous Kill Bill talkback (production pics) that Kill Bill will kick the audience's ass all the way to the end, and that doesn't include the Wachowski brothers' final two installments of The Matrix. Well, maybe they weren't the only ones who borrow too much from HK/Chinese martial arts and anime movies. I have a faith in QT that he will give us the mind-blowing coke-snorting binge of a movie experience we've been craving for a long time (except Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and superhero movie crap). Where have Jim Cameron been in the last five years? Two documentaries in the can and developing revolutionary 3-D film technology (besides directing Dark Angel TV finale and producer credit on Solaris)?
-
the guy or gal knows too much about some stuff to play dumb on other stuff. It's that simple. Whoever wrote this didn't want to seem close to the production or at least friends with it but obviously is. why hide it like that? I fucking can't wait for Kill Bill and this sounds like a kickass teaser anyway, plant or no.
-
Look, I dig the enthusiasm for movies AICN visitors have, but the praise I've read for what amounts to a friggin' commercial is so embarrassing it takes my breath away. Even alcoholics don't go crazy whenever they see a new Budweiser ad. People, please!
-
is it just me or does this movie sound pretty stupid?
kinda like an episode 2 of the martial arts genre. -

"A plant? I thought they usually called men like you a fruit?"
by zeldas
Just a shout out to all the Clue fans out there. Who cares if that guy is a plant, fruit, or frickin bunch of broccoli. . . if that's what the trailer is like, then I just pissed my panties with anticipation of seeing it. And I thought Uma was perfect for Ivy although the movie was a piece of rhino crap.

I just don't get it. I've read the script for "Kill Bill" online and thought it was okay. Not terrible, not great just okay. I've read Harry's onset reports and now this summary of the trailer and all I feel is "so what?" Now obviously the motivation for QT making this film is clearly because he wants to make a type of film nobody makes anymore. And that's great I wish him Godspeed truly I do. But I don't think this is going to be the kind of seminal moment in film that so many people believe "Pulp Fiction" to be. In fact I don't think this is going to be a big mainstream hit commercially or critically speaking. It's going to appeal to a certain audience that like '70s type kung fu flicks and that's it.
-
i tell you what: Kill Bill shooting is almost finished, early footage has been editited, therefore it is more than realistic that this trailer report is NOT fake. i still have my doubts but its too real.
KIll Bill is gonna kick BUTTOCKS!!!
www.tarantino.info -
What next for QT? It has to be a western I reckon, but then what? He'll pretty much have the full house: heist, horror, kung-fu plus the obligatory Elmore Leonard adaptation. This pony is running out of tricks. Pulp Fiction still stands alone as the one GREAT film of the 90s though.
-
this is Tarantino were talking about. All his previous movies (Dusk Till Dawn excepted) were brilliant, yes even Jackie Brown. He would have to make a total piece of shit to dampen his reputation. I've read the script like most people and if the finished movie is better then I'll be more than happy. Oh yeah, the trailer sounds brilliant but I actually think it is probably a fake report. We'll see...
-
Lets see QT had done 3 films so far and they ALL kicked ASS!!! What makes you think this film isnt gonna be another cool trip into Tarantino Land? It will, so just pipe down kids. Another thing is, the film isnt even in the same Universe as Pulp, its a totally different place this time. So just forget about Pulp, Dogs, Jackie. You shittalkers need to wake up, quit watching Michael Bay movies and smell the fuckin coffee. QT is the man, and you all know it.
-
i know he's disappeared for a few glorious years but I'd really prefer if he'd just go to an island and copy (as he does everybody else) Marlon Brando's example: stay away. No talent, ass-clown.

Why the hell is this lifeless, brainless, dickless, flatulent, quarter-wit, urine stained, mentally obtuse, cloven-hoofed, pedophilic, ass-munching, tampon stained moron allowed on this board? I thought there was some rule here about being civil to one another or getting BANNED. All this idiot has to contribute to every talkback is some long winded verbal abuse of the admitted

It's just you.

Well I cant wait for the movie, but I definitely won't go to a movie I dont want to see just to catch the trailer. Hopefully it'll be online. Anyways, check this out -----------> http://wolf.webcruiser.org/index.php?ref=171018
-
it's really hard to get psyched about the description of a trailer... please calm down... yer gonna have a heart attack!
-
Sorry, can't concentrate on anything but tomorrow Michigan game. I'll take "Things I Hate That Start With The Letter 'M'" for 800, Alex. But about the trailer description. This has to be someone who has access to repeated viewing, especially in a start-stop fashion. I just can't believe we've reached the point of elaborate shot-by-shot descriptions of teasers for films that aren't preceded by 16 years of anticipation or generations of Hobbit fans. And outside of this crowd, who's going to get into this movie? I know, I know, who cares as long as we can see it soon?! While the "My Movies Need To Have Affleck or Roberts" crowd is not WORTHY of this kind of film, this does demonstrate how much of a subset we are to the overall filmgoing public. And that's not necessarily something I want to be reminded of. Or need to be, for that matter. Go Bucks!!
-
Can't really comment on it without seeing it, mind you. But it sounds good.
-
PAN along a line of ninjas, bikers, orcs, lesbians and lawyers...Cut to Uma holding a sword and looking resolute as she faces them all. We cut back to her line of foes which includes aliens, ninjas and Crips. Back to Uma, cooling staring them down. Back to the line: Mike Tyson, a guy with a blowtorch, Hannibal Lecter, still Uma doesn't flinch. Then, we get to a screenwriter holding the script for THE AVENGERS. Uma screams and runs away...
-
..who thinks that final shot of the bad dudes stepping back is taken from 'fists of fury', when bruce takes on the whole dojo.
you know that kind of makes me angry, like QT is sampling old songs. -

I remember the Phantom Menace trailer looked pretty good and look how that movie turned out.
-
Kill Bill. It's brilliant. Lyrical. Catchy. Exciting. A bit, dare I say, kitsch. If you are going to the movies to get a ticket for KILL BILL, you feel... that much cooler, for a moment. Or if you look down on that sort of thing then you feel cooler for looking down on it. For a moment. What else can we review.... wait, what kind of shoez does Uma wear with the yellow track suit??
-
The "shittalkers" can talk shit all day long, run their mouths off, complain, whine, spit, crap their pants and do whatever else they do in their sad lives. Bottom line is: QT is making the movies he wants to make. He doesnt give a flying fuck what little worms (shittalkers) think of his movies, where he came up with his material etc. Hes made 3 films and they are excellent. If you dont like Exploitation films and Revenge films, DONT GO SEE KILL BILL!! Just stop the damn bitching and whining, its fuckin LAME. The thing that pisses me off most about these "shittalkers" is they'll bitch and put QT down now, but they'll be right in line when Kill Bill opens, fuckin pathetic losers.
-
...QT wanted to make a movie that he thought was really cool, involving a subject matter he thought was entertaining. Maybe QT isn't interested in how much money he's going to make with this next film. Maybe he's interested in making a movie that he thinks is fun and exciting. If you think you will like it...I'd say go and see it. If you think it will be bad...skip it and spend your hard earned on something that interests you. Or you could whine endlessly...up to you, really. THANKS for reading.
-
Wow, for a guy who only got a "sneak peak," your retention is amazing.
-
Reading the scathing review of the script has shaken me a bit, but I still think KILL BILL sounds like a fun comic-book kind of movie. Probably a rental, not a theater must. But who knows? It willd epend on what else opens the same weekend
-
If Michael Bay had been force-fed talent via a power hose. And that scene with the chick with the Bolo? Who else besides me had visions of Shampoo from Ranma 1/2?! I know it's just s decription of a trailer but Great Mother Mary With Her Uzi In Effect, I AM excited about this and it didn't help that I was listening to Ruccione's "Africa Nostra" while reading the description. "Siamo le Camicie Nere/siamo fanti, siamo alpini/siamo mille ardite schiere nere/siam gli eroi di Mussolini!" 'Scuse ladies and gents, I need to go blow something up now. So many great movies out! What a great time to be alive! Toppu o Nerae!
-
nobody does writing like he does. You are either a fan or not. It would be hard to deny that he pushes the industry.
-
its been a while since ive been to the site, but the fact that there is an article and harry gizzing over the description of a trailer means only one thing..........i havent really missed much have i???????
What happened......this used to be the best info site on the internet.........sad -
there is an awful lot of detail there. in fact, i'd say qt may even have sent this one in himself, except the spelling isn't bad enough. still, i read the script and this is the type of trailer you'd expect. it sounds like a fun movie. i do think, however, that some of you guys are just taking the whole thing a bit too seriously. i mean, what exactly are you expecting from a derivative genre flick anyway? if there's some half-decent action, a few nice lines and bit of inherent quentin-ness, then we'll all get our money's worth and go home happy. maybe he just needs to get this film out of his system before he goes on to make the thing that you want him to... -
Tarantino will not make another pulp fiction or reservoir dogs.He want to explore new way.He's a big fan of kung fu movie and stuff so why he should not do a movie about it?I want tarantino to impress me and so far I am.I'm a big fan of asian movie so I just can't wait.The pics are so great too

DIE ALL!!! KILL BILL IS GONNA BE THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!
by tarantinowebsite
take a look at Quentins FULL filmography. That man hasn't been sleeping! He has spent time writing and prepping a movie that will certainly rock the movie industry!
Kung Fu, Samurai, Exploitation, Slicing-dicing-kicking ass will surely start a wave of oldfilm-remakes, don't you think.
I read the Kill Bill script and the movie itself will surely be better than anything near our expection on that.
people in here, bare in mind that Pulp Fiction alone is not Quentin Tarantino. QT is going through every film genre in the time of his career, now he is past that gangster and drug stuff, now he's doing his shaw-brothers and kung fu stuff, paying hommage to all that, in the greatest way the movie people have ever seen.
Kill Bill surely will be a matter of tastes. But no man who REALLY KNOWS film, can evade it. Take a look at the script, the hype, the pictures, the actors and all...
This will be a masterpiece...
From Reservoir Dogs over Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown up to Kill Bill now QT has shown that he knows his business and now he will show us that he can do more than Gangsters in black suits... He has teamed up with a bunch of the most influencal movie artists (Yuen Woo Ping, Sonny Chiba,...) and he will bring us Uma Thurman slicing up dudes with Samurai Swords!! How cool is that?
Y'all. Let's wait for the trailer and I tell you people will freak. Even the think-twice-ers....
be cool
