ChasingBlueSky 0 #27 October 11, 2003 QuoteYeah!! http://www.msnbc.com/news/973313.asp?0ql=c7p Interesting how the blood is missing from her outfit in that shot, just like it was in the trailer. Why did he bleep out a name in the Vivica Fox scene? He did it a couple times?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

LouDiamond 1 #28 October 11, 2003 To keep her name a mystery, I have also heard that it also has something to do with the whole genre spoofing theme T has going on."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #30 October 11, 2003 There are a lot of little easter eggs like that in the whole movie. I know I probably missed many of them though."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #31 October 11, 2003 And also references to other T's movies (as usual) what I like is the ad for the brand of cigarretes in T's movies.

Trent 0 #35 October 11, 2003 Anyone notice all the little red dots in the movie? I thought it was just a scene or edit marker, but it kept showing up exactly the same every time. What is that?Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #36 October 12, 2003 I didn't notice that, but if I remember correctly there's a scene when 'The Bride' chops someone and blood land on the 'camera lens', but now that you mentioned, next time I go see the movie (again) I'll pay attention.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

RippedCord 0 #37 October 12, 2003 Another "Easter Egg:" The sunglasses in Buck's pocket bear an eerie resemblance to the same shades Christian Slater's character sports in True Romance. Alot of shots of Uma's feet: reminded me of the first time we saw her in film, i.e., when she grabbed Anthony Michael Hall's nose with her toes in Johnny Be Good --not however, a Tarantino film.

Damn she has some ugly feet.

JohnRich 4 #40 October 12, 2003 QuoteOn TV they said it was bloodier than Private Ryan. That's a lot of blood. Yes, but it's kind of spoof bleeding, way beyond what you expect for realism. It's like water squirting out of a shower nozzle in multiple streams. It comes from the stumps of arms and legs that have been cut off, decapitated heads, and so on. It's still pretty gruesome stuff... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #41 October 13, 2003 Quote Why? because is a movie and everything has to look pretty?, I don't agree with you my friend, things like this bring realism to the flick (even if the movie is totally unreal) Well, yes. Can you imagine, say, "Sailor Moon" with ugly feet? This is a live action (well, for the most part) anime/graphic novel. "The Bride" is the hero and is supposed to be beautiful and pristine until the blades start flying -- then she's beautiful and bloody. If, say, "Go-go" (five-five?) has a flaw, that's acceptable and in fact she kind of has some bizarre teeth, but is otherwise quite stunning and, of course, "Elle Driver" is over the top on the graphic novel stereotype.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
