Six different versions of Kill Bill to be released on DVD.

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Though I DO like it in Black and White, colour would be nice.

An option within the disc to turn on either color or b/w for that scene would be even nicer.

I'll be holding out for the special editions, for whatever that entails. I'd have gone for the boxed set up until a few months ago, as I just picked up the anniversary editions of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction on DVD. Oh well.

Special Edition?

I dont get it....No scenes were cut out! What could they possibly be adding in except for editorials?

Sounds like typical greed to me.

If i buy anything at all, its gonna be the "final" version.

I find it a bit hypocritical that QTs "vision" for the movie was too precious for them to cut it into shape (only one movie), but not too precious to make parts of it B&W :\

Money talks and vision walks

Well, I've heard that there's more gore in the Japanese version, but that may be because the big fight scene is in color and people are honestly mistaken in believing that they are seeing something not in the original. It isn't new gore, just blood which lost it's impact because it was black and blended into the other blacks on the screen.

However, there might be additional scenes added to the extras. Alternate takes and other things that were clipped out to help with the flow of the film. For example, most of the "deleted" scenes on the Freedy VS Jason dvd were of people walking up stairs and the like.

Not true. At the minimum, there was a cut scene featuring Michael Jai White. Check out the trailer on the KB1 DVD to see a glimpse of it.

Films always take on a new life of their own in the editing room. Just because Harvey Weinstein allowed Quentin to shoot every single scene in his mammoth script doesn't mean that when they put it all together QT didn't realize some of it was better left on the cutting room floor.

No, if I were you I'd go with the two-pack boxed set before the Tarantino Collection comes out. Rumor has it that in the wedding scene in the Tarantino Collection, Tarantino re-edits it so that the Bride shoots first, instead of being gunned down without warning.

And all the katanas will be replaced with walkie-talkies.

They can make as many editions as they want. I will wait to buy though until Kill Bill (one re-edited movie) is released. I loved Vol. 1 and liked Vol. 2 but thought that it would be best viewed as one reorganized movie. (of course I liked the re-edited Godfather Epic).

It is interesting to hear that some of the Black and White was not original. I just figured that he was using yet another movie style for inspiration.

 

[Berandor]

I would like to see the original cut that he proposed to Miramax. I think KB could be leaner and meaner with a shorter cut.

Otherwise, I'll refrain from buying (except perhaps the Collection).

Wait, you mean that it was in black and white to make it less gorey? That's dumb. The gore in the second part of KB1 is too over-the-top to be shocking, it's like watching road runner and the coyote.
