Kill bill vol.2
1.scene overview:
Kill Bill Volume 2 is the second installment of a wild and crazy ride into the world of a woman set on revenge on a group of assassins who thought they killed her. Of course, what makes the revenge much more sweeter is the fact the former Deadly Viper Assassination Squad members know who's after them, and that the revenge-seeker used to be a trained Deadly Viper Assassination Squad member herself.
Kill Bill was initially going to be
one feature length film, but as the script began to expand, Tarantino just couldn't take so many of the expanded scenes out without severely reducing the impact. And if you watch the entire duology, you'll probably understand why it would be pointless to condense Kill Bill.
