KILL BILL Vol 1's Soundtrack Listing... this is gonna rock!

Published at:  Aug 29, 2003 7:39:27 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Want to know why this kung fu film will be unlike anything you've ever seen or heard before? It's because of the info below. My favorite Kung Fu score of all time is ENTER THE DRAGON by Lalo Schifrin...

HOWEVER, having said that... it got so ripped off and overused over time, that it kind of defined what Kung Fu sounded like. THEN came MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON... Both films gave a different sound to Kung Fu. MATRIX with its Techno Rhythms and C.T.H.D. with its melancholy strings.. they both introduced the music to Kung Fu on a mainstream level which has stuck.

This... This is going to be a Kung Fu movie that fucking rocks the roof off of every joint it burns the screen of. Nancy Sinatra? Fucking A! She's the embodiment of ass-kicking women everywhere... BANG BANG is a fantastic number and oh so aptly used here. Charlie Feathers? Heh, well prepare to fall in love. God willing, this'll lead you to the rest of Charlie and his Musical Warriors tunes. I hope that in Vol 2 Quentin has a Bob Wills tune, but I'm not too obsessed about that, cuz Tim McCanlies used one in SECONDHAND LIONS, and thus rules!

You probably know Bacalov's work from IL POSTINO, but Italian western fans know his work on DJANGO and Tarantino Film Fest goers know him from WIPEOUT by the brilliant Fernando Di Leo... oh, and us fest goers will be delighted at the sight that Bernard Herrmann's theme from TWISTED NERVE is present here... I have to tell you folks... once you hear this theme... it will be with you for all the days of your life. I saw TWISTED NERVE once like 6 years ago, and I can still whistle this tune... which gets fairly complicated.

I've got no idea what any of the RZA music will be like on here, and am curious as you are. Isaac Hayes RUN FAY RUN will own. As will Al Hirt's GREEN HORNET. The Tomoyasu Hotei music from the teaser trailer is here, and we all know it rocks! I don't know anthing about Santa Esmeralda's work, but I won't bet against it. THE 5,6,7,8's rock this world hard. The RZA adaptation or blending or whatever of Charles Bernstein's WHITE LIGHTNING music will ROCK HARD CORE!

I'm not sure what "The Flower of Carnage" is, but Meiko Kaji is a Japanese actress that played the greatest damn revenge exploitation killer in the history of Japanese cinema that I know. Check out the DVD to FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION JAILHOUSE 41 (1972) She plays Matsu - and after you watch that film... nothing is ever the same!

As for Gheorghe Zamfir's THE LONELY SHEPHERD, the music screams classic Leone circling stand-off... My bet this is the music for the Lui/Uma Blue Leaves sequence... it is 4 minutes and 25 seconds long complete, it could fit... also, Quentin would have wanted the music there to time the moves out, since some of the martial arts were timed to beats. The Pan flute work on this one is breathtaking... give a bit of a listen to it Here! All this, plus sound effects and dialogue... this soundtrack can not arrive to my house SOON ENOUGH!!!! I want it NOW!

    by louis cyphre

    The music for all of the kung-fu in Crouching Tiger was rhythmic tribal drumming, not strings, no? I only mention because it REALLY grabbed me at the time, and made the action all the more frenetic. Slow strings would be a sweet counterpoint to the fast action, but it didn't happen in Crouching Tiger, unless they moved in slow motion. And lo, I did nit-pick!

    To Harry and anyone else who cares: Essential RZA Production

    by the enforcer36

    Anybody else lost, scared? Worried the soundtrack for the next QT movie is going to be filled with disco bass and 2 piano tones going BEEP BOOP over and over again, with a not-so-clever sexual innuendo-filled hook? Don't worry. That stuff is for the Neptunes and 2000-now Dr. Dre. If you're curious as to why exactly the RZA is so touted, I suggest you take it slow and check out these albums first.
    1. GZA/Genius "Liquid Swords"
    2. Raekwon "Only Built For Cuban Linx"
    3. Wu-Tang Clan "Enter the 36 Chambers"
    All those albums are fully produced by RZA and hip-hop classics. Now, if you can't handle listening to so much good material at once, here are eight of my favorite songs of his--beat-wise...
    1. GZA/Genius "Gold" (from Liquid Swords)
    2. GZA/Genius "4th Chamber" (from Liquid Swords)
    3. GZA/Genius "Shadowboxin" (from Liquid Swords)
    3. Raekwon "Criminology" (From Cuban Linx)
    4. Raekwon "Glaciers of Ice" (from Cuban Linx)
    5. Raekwon "Guillotine" (from Cuban Linx"
    6. Wu-Tang Clan "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin Ta Fuck With"
    7. Wu-Tang Clan "Da Mystery of Chessboxing"
    8. Wu-Tang Clan "CREAM"

    by ogonekenobi

    When I was little... my father was famous.
    He was the greatest sam-urai in the empire;
    and he was the Shogun's decapitator.
    He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords.
    It was a bad time for the empire.
    The Shogun just stayed inside his castle -- and he never came out.
    People said his brain was infected by DEVILS.
    My father would come home -- he would forget about the killings.
    He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him.
    Maybe that was the problem.
    Then, one night... the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house.
    They were supposed to kill my father... but they didn't.
    *woman screams*
    That was the night everything changed *voice fades*

    Intro Two: RZA

    See, sometimes...
    You gotta flash em back
    See niggaz don't know where this shit started
    Y'all know where it came from
    I'm sayin we gonna take y'all back to the swords
    We bounce, yo

    Chorus: RZA, GZA

    When the MC's came, to live our their name
    And to perform (forrrrm)
    Some had, to snort cocaine (caiiinnne) to act insane (sannne)
    with before Pete Rock-ed it on, now gone
    that the mental plane (plaaanne) to spark the brain (brainnn)
    with the building to be born
    Yo RZA flip the track with the what to guy
    Check em check chicka icka etta UHH

    Verse One:

    Fake niggaz get blitzed
    and mic bites I swing swords and cut clowns
    Shit is too swift to bite you record and write it down
    I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe
    on some loud howl shit, to insert a fiend
    But it was yo ock, the shop stolen heart
    Catch a swollen heart from not rollin smart
    I put mad pressure, on phony wack rhymes that get hurt
    Shit's played, like zodiac signs on sweatshirt
    That's minimum, and feminine like sandals
    My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble
    Energy is felt once the cards are dealt
    With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts
    that attack, the mic-fones like cyclones or typhoon
    I represent from midnight to high noon
    I don't waste ink, nigga I think
    I drop megaton BOMBS more faster than you blink
    Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed
    Clouds of smoke, of natural blends of weed
    Only under one circumstance is if I'm blunted
    Turn that shit up, my clan in da front want it

    Chorus

    Verse Two:

    I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible
    But when I swing my swords they all choppable
    I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
    Child educator, plus head amputator
    Cause niggaz styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers
    Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers
    Don't even stop in my station and attack
    while your plan failed, hit the rail, like Amtrak
    What the fuck for? Down by law, I make law
    I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four
    round the clock, that state pen time check it
    With the pens I be stickin but you can't stick to crime
    Came through with the Wu, slid off on the DL
    I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells
    Now come aboard, it's Medina bound
    Into the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
    It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
    So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels
    Niggaz are fascinated how the shit begin
    Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin

    Ah, but Harry was on about string music over kung-fu, which didn't really happen in Crouching Tiger -the fight scenes had bongo rhythms playing throughout, without any melodies, as I recall. I can't think of a fight scene in that film which is underscored by slow strings, but its been a while, I have to admit, so I may be talking out of my other orifice. Anyway, did you know that cello is worth something like $3 million? DAY-MN! Bet he wouldn't let Pete Townshend near that thing, that's for sure...

    by the enforcer36

    I also agree that the Gravediggaz album (I assume you're referring to 1994's "Six Feet Deep") is awesome, but I believe you're a little confused. RZA didn't produce any of it. Prince Paul did--well, RZA MIGHT have done one song, but that's it. RZA was just one of the three MC's--the other two being Frukwan and Poetic (both non-Wu-Tang Clan members; and incidentally, Poetic recently died from cancer last year) The 2nd album, ("The Pick, The Sickle, and the Shovel" RZA produced from beginning to end, and is also a great album, but has a much much different sound. It's more mature and philosophical than angry shock rap. Now, you also say RZA "fell off" after Wu-Tang Forever...Let's define "Fell off." "Fell off" meaning not as good as he used to be? Then yes. "Fell off" meaning makes poor quality music? Then no. His stuff on the last two Clan albums weren't up to the high standards, but were still good...and on the solos he has quite a bit of great material that is just as good as anything he's done in the past. (IE the songs "Mantis" "Maxine" "Friction" "Holocaust" "Do You" "Nutmeg" "Buck 50" "Child's Play" "Babies" "The Man" etc etc etc.)

    "The RZA, the razor..."

    by louis cyphre

    Whoopsie. 'My bad'! Yeah, I keep thinking RZA made 6 Feet Deep, (or 'Niggamortis' as it was released on the import, me being a UK bod), mainly because the thing that stands out were his leftfield verses and rapping style, which took me years to appreciate as the genius it is! I wouldn't say the 1st Gravediggaz album is just 'angry shock rap' though - that's Onyx! The detail in the production makes 6 Feet Deep one of my top ten albums of all time, blatantly! But yep, have to say I didn't enjoy the Pick... album anywhere NEAR as much, and Wu-Tang Forever is just an album I never put on any more. Compared to the first album (36th Chamber) its just so slick and polished, it doesn't have the raw head-nod effect of the first. He uses MIDI guitar (an EVIL sin, in my guitar playing opinion) and bad Casio sounding strings, when he had the budget to hire bloody Howling Wolf on the six-string if he wanted! None of the tunes RZA made after that point have any of the punch of the first lot in my opinion - you put on a Wu-Tang Forever tune at a party (or a Cappadonna, or a Killer Bees, or a ...) and you'll only have people coming up asking for C.R.E.A.M. or something. Its just a lazier production style, and less ingenious or original. But RZA's never been one of my favourite producers or anything, I have to say. Wu-Tang never really floated my proverbial... (Ghost Dog was good though, but again, was no 'Chamber) For the beats alone, that'd go to Muggs, The Beasties or J-Zone or somesuch. Apologies to all the people who really hate hip-hop or don't know of whom we speak!

    Best news of all: no fucking members of Metallica anywhere in sight. Soundtrack looks very cool. RUN FAY RUN is originally from the Italian blaxploitation flick THREE TOUGH GUYS. RZA was a perfect choice. Imagine - martial arts combined with hip-hop that doesn't suck ass. Yes, KISS OF THE DRAGON, I'm looking at you. BLACK MASK'S rescore had its moments, too bad none of that music should have been there in the first place - the original surf-guitar style score was the shit and shouldn't have been tampered with, same as VOLCANO HIGH's very effective and eclectic score - spanning from Korean rap-metal to techno to solo spanish guitar. Good stuff, which will be missed. He's annoyed me at times in the past, but he brought CHUNGKING EXPRESS over, so that cancels out the annoying DESTINY TURNS ON THE RADIO-style acting jobs he did. I'm rooting for him here, one film or two. I mean come on, it wouldn't be Miramax if they didn't tamper with it somehow. Better two films than one 90 minute hatchet job.

    Your earlier comment: "Does anyone sit and listen to soundtrack CDs all day? They offer no unified vision and is just a bunch of good songs thrown together in the best case. I guess they are good for lazy people who don't want to find good individual albums." I'd just like to disagree with you on a fundamental level. What a dumbass, immature thing to write. Oh, but I guess that's what you were going for. A good soundtrack can make or break a movie, period. This is an unarguable fact. Kill Bill as a movie could suck, in which case the soundtrack won't mean shit. But, if the story, cinematography, and acting are top-notch, which is a possibility given that the director is Quentin, then having a good soundtrack pretty much makes it that much better, wouldn't you agree? You can critique the song and music choices if you'd like, but please don't spout useless garbage that anyone, including me, can skewer using only about two or three brain cells. Thanks.

    Leave it to Tarantino to cause new swear constructions to come out of my mouth in a moment of awe. (See subject line). I told you guys Bernard Hermann kicked ass in the World of Tomorrow TB! I own the Taxi Driver soundtrack; creepy as hell listening to that motherfucker in an empty house. RV: Tarantino don't use scoring because he derives inspiration from his massive record collection. The spirit of the music helps generate his ship-shape dialogue and razor sharp sense of rhythm and pacing. And two separate soundtracks aint a scam, it's a fucking Godsend! The Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction soundtracks are life changing revelations. Granted, I was only fifteen when I fully discovered them, but that was at just the right age to change my musical tastes forever! And just as the 2 volumes of film allow everything to get in, the two volumes of soundtrack will allow every bit of music to be included. And P.S.: you can still listen to enhanced CD-ROM CD's on any player, but the extra computer component is on there if you want it.

    > You have a right to feel that way, but you are a lone freak in a world of people who pay attention to character, plot, and dialogue in movies, and not just the background music. Would Pulp Fiction or The Matrix be bad movies with crappier soundtracks? Not to 99.9% of people. The soundtrack means little...it means something...but it means very little to everyone but you.

    Man, if anything gives rise to images of a fat guy alone in his mother's basement, it's someone who just can't suppress the urge to use more than 3 exclamation points in a sentence.

    Isn't it great when you can get all excited about a film by it's music track listing when you've never even seen the film? I personally couldn't give a fxxk about the music. How's about a good story? Movies don't exist to sell soundtrack albums. What is this film about??????? Tell me a good story you jerks. I am not going to go see a film for the soundtrack! And why is it in two parts??? Did someone leave the camera rolling by mistake on set one day? I just hope the story lives up to the hype and justifies itself. But it wont... just you watch. Don't fall for the marketing scam!

    Vol 2 release date 20th Feb 2004 (the film).

    by v1c_vega

    Hear the realese date for KB vol 2 is 20th Feb 04 , this is a little bit longer than i was expecting it to be (and wanted it to be) but i still can't wait. The soundtrack should be cool and don't care a bit if it's 2 vol's. If you are british britfilm*anker shut up you are embarrassing a fellow brit with your stupid comments.

    If there's one thing that bugs me about Tarantino...

    by st.buggering

    It's his refusal to employ a score composer. The use of pop songs can be very effective under the right circumstances, and Pulp Fiction used them to better effect than any film in history. But there are times when a score is required to properly convey the intent of a scene, and the use of a familiar song is a distraction. Tarantino still hasn't figured this out. Plus, the use of 70's funk in a Kung Fu flick just seems odd. But hey, I'll trust him until I see him fuck up. He hasn't let me down yet.

    Doesn't anyone else find it rather odd...

    by castor777

    That a film that is about a month away from being released has only one trailer since December that hardly sees the light of day (I've only seen it when it was attached to Gangs of New York)? I mean, they made the very poor decision of cutting this film into two, which is a very risky move - don't you think they would get a lil more behind this first film and advertise the living hell out of it? Now I could be wrong, I don't watch TV all the time so maybe I'm missing the commercials when I flip through the channels, but I haven't seen shit from this movie other then a few descent looking pictures and Harry glorifying the hell out of it like it's the second coming. Can someone tell me where to find like a commercial or something new since the old trailer? I've been very skeptical about it and downright bashed it occasionally since the announcement of splitting it into 2 (here's an idea QT: use that little razor icon every once and awhile in Final Cut Pro if that's what you're using or just release a fuckin' 3 hour movie seeing how Jackie Brown was a mere 15 minutes short of that running time), I would at least like to see something that gets me excited to rationalize the idea of maybe seeing the first one. Right now, this old trailer, this soundtrack listing, the second film with a release date in Febuary... well none of that is doing anything at all for me.
