Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

What Tarantino will add to a Kill Bill Blu-ray release

Given the time and thought Quentin Tarantino devotes to developing each of his films, it's surprising how much their subsequent DVD releases seem like an afterthought. But the writer-director says that he plans to revisit—and expand—several long-gestating releases once he's finished with the promotion of his latest movie, Inglourious Basterds.

"When I'm through with this, I can actually finish the final Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," Tarantino told reporters Sunday in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif.



"I need to do one thing with it, though," Tarantino said. "I'm not going to monkey around with the movie itself, but we've actually done a whole new section for the anime as the last thing [we added]. I actually wrote a much longer script for the anime section during O-Ren's revenge chapter. Remember the guy with the long hair that kills her father? It's like, what happened to that dude? Well, I wrote it and it was the biggest, most elaborate thing I wrote—her taking him down."


Tarantino said this material wasn't a separate story, but something always intended for the film—until other narratives took over, anyway. "This was when I thought Kill Bill was going to be one movie," he revealed. "So already I thought a 20-minute anime scene may be not the wisest move. So we didn't have them do it, so they were relieved they didn't have to do it because it was so big. [But] I actually showed it to Harvey Weinstein; I had the whole script written out shot for shot what it would be, so [I said], 'Harvey, this literally would make it complete. This is everything I came up with and wrote when I wrote it.' So Production IG just did it, and I just need to work with them a little bit and go over it with them—and I'll do that once this is officially behind me."


As for that long-awaited theatrical cut of Grindhouse? Tarantino admitted he's been delinquent getting that put together on DVD and Blu-ray, but said he was happy to see there was so much demand around the world for it, even without a proper home-video release.


"We've just been lazy getting around to Grindhouse, the full edition," Tarantino said. "One of the things that has been cool about that, though, is that the Grindhouse cut has actually been playing all over the world. It's becoming this thing that theaters or revival houses would have midnight shows, like in Australia or Ireland or Scotland."


"They don't want Death Proof, [and] they don't want Planet Terror," he said. "They want Grindhouse. It's one of those things that, like, in two months it's showing again [wherever] their local midnight Friday-Saturday screening is."

i'll believe it when i see it. for both kill bill and grindhouse.

[CJS234]

Kinda (and I mean BARELY kinda lol) glad I didn't get Death Proof and Planet Terror from Best Buy for $27 altogether. I can wait for Grindhouse. Also I already have Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, but it's such an awesome movie I can help but buy The Whole Bloody Affair (especially for the non black and white fighting scenes )

These have been "in the works" for such a long time, I won't hold my breath. I wouldn't mind double dipping on either of these titles anyways.

[Batman1980]

I just got my Kill Bills so unless these new transfers were an appreciable upgrade in PQ and AQ, I'll pass. I could care less about all that other crap unless it makes the movies better.

[kernel_thai]

Its one of my fav movies but I dont need to repurchase just to get 20 minutes of new anime.

[STARSCREAM]

Definite pass for me if all there is gonna be added is anime. I already have the vol. 1 and 2.

[Kryptonic]

I'm perfectly happy with the theatrical cuts. I love the B&W transition in the first film and I'm fine without more anime as well.

[jasonicus]

I would love to see this, but I don't expect it for a few more years. Thats a shame. He just has too much on his plate to worry about this film.

[Mr.White]

Just like the Original Star Wars Trilogy, you're gonna be waiting a long time for this one!

Yeah I've heard so many times that these would happen that I've just about given up hope.

[gvatty]

He has lots of great ideas but I don't think he has time to follow through on them. I remember him talking about filming scenes with Nicki in the future (Vivica Fox's daughter in the movie) getting her revenge against the bride. That would be a nice extra scene that could fill 30-45 minutes.

[Moefiz]

When I actually have this in my hand I will believe it...right now it just talk which has been going on for a lonnng time.

I'm perfectly happy with my copies too. Kill Bill was made to be in volumes. It's nice that he's adding to his movies, and I love that anime sequence, but don't change or add to a formula that already works. The movies are already perfect imo.

The Grindhouse feature on the other hand, that I will gladly double dip on and sell my current copies.

I agree I would like to see Grindhouse they it was shown at the theater,complete with all the fake trailers and stuff. When I was a supervisor at a movie theater, I also worked the booth occasionally, that print took almost the entire platter it was so big, and we had 2 prints!

[PH3AR]

Ill pass, i dont own the Kill Bills yet but i wont buy the new ones since i hate anime and dont want anymore of it

Non-black-and-white fighting scenes? I have seen production stills where they clearly used black-colored fake blood when filming those scenes (for contrast, presumably). Were they shot twice?

[Old Bones]

The color fight scenes on my Japanese dvd look great , this is why I held off buying the Blu. it has a few extra scenes as well.

[blujacket]

Pass for me. I like the current releases.
