Kill Bill: Volume 2 Blu-rayDisney / Buena Vista | 2004 | 136 mins | Rated R | Sep 09, 2008
Kill Bill: Volume 2(2004)Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Having dispensed with former colleagues O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), the Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her quest for justice. With those two down, she has two remaining foes on her "Death List" to pursue — Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) — before moving on to her ultimate goal... to kill Bill (David Carradine). For more details about Kill Bill: Volume 2 on Blu-ray, see the Kill Bill: Volume 2 Blu-ray Review Starring: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu Director: Quentin Tarantino Kill Bill: Volume 2 Blu-ray, Video QualityDisney / Miramax has given Kill Bill: Volume 2 the same high-quality treatment as Kill Bill: Volume 1. Presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1, Kill Bill: Volume 2 looks stunning. Disney has continued their use of the AVC Mpeg-4 compression codec and the film has been given plenty of room to breathe with a very high bitrate encode. Cinematographer Robert Richardson makes use of a variety of film stocks and filming techniques on the film and the results offer a breathtaking array of atmospheres and visual inventiveness. While not as off the wall as some of the techniques used in Kill Bill: Volume 1, Kill Bill: Volume 2 focuses more on high contrast black and white photography and gritty color cinematography. There is a fair amount of grain presented in this film and this Blu-ray encode handles it effortlessly, lending the movie a very natural and film-like look. Some of my favorite scenes in Kill Bill: Volume 2 are presented in black and white. The photography here is gorgeous with deep, inky blacks and copious shadow details. Color photography is also exceptionally rendered with vivid colors and earthy desert hues smoothly presented on-screen. Picture artifacts are non-existent and I didn’t notice a trace of any of the horrible edge enhancement that plagued the film’s previous DVD releases. Detail is also remarkable with fabric and skin textures perfectly realized. Disney has scored again with this masterful Blu-ray edition of Kill Bill: Volume 2. This is a reference grade transfer and should be in the collection of any serious film aficionado. Kill Bill: Volume 2 Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Kill Bill: Volume 2 features yet another superb Uncompressed PCM 5.1 soundtrack that is different in many ways from the stellar track featured on Kill Bill: Volume 1. While the first film proved to be a bombastic music and effects driven affair with an abundance of surround activity and bass response, Kill Bill: Volume 2 is a more subtle track. Since this film is significantly less action-oriented than its predecessor, there is quite a bit less extreme surround activity present. Dialog is the primary element of this track and it is flawlessly presented. Much like Kill Bill: Volume 1’s explosive PCM track, this film’s soundstage is exceptionally wide and creates an abundance of atmosphere. Of course, Kill Bill: Volume 2 has its fair share of action sequences in addition to the many dialog-driven scenes. The Bride’s fight with Ellie Driver is particularly memorable as the two destroy a mobile home in the process of trying to kill one another. There is a tremendous amount of surround activity in this scene with bodies crashing through walls and the rich splintering sound of timber being torn to shreds. It’s a terrific scene and stands as a stark contrast to the film’s more subtle moments. All told, Kill Bill: Volume 2 is every bit as rich as the first film’s soundtrack - - just not quite as flashy.
