Movie World

Kill Bill Vol 1. “Movie World”

Split into two volumes, Tarantino sees Volume 1 as a relatively straightforward revenge movie. A sequence that took eight weeks to film, some six weeks over schedule, Tarantino wanted to create “one of the greatest, most exciting sequences in the history of cinema.” Eschewing the use of CGI in favour of old-fashioned physical special-effects blood spurts, the writer-director told his crew – all obsessing over modern-day techniques, such as fire-extinguisher canisters to achieve such effects – to go back to methods favoured in 1970s Chinese cinema.

Kill Bill Vol 1: Blood Bath & Beyond

Kill Bill Vol 1. Chapter 2: The blood-splattered BRIDE

With its relentless bloodshed and scrambled, inconclusive narrative, Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited fourth feature, ”Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” is certain to provoke both awe and revulsion. The film’s detractors and its fans are likely to agree, however, that the movie, a densely referential pastiche of B-movie attitudes and situations, is above all an exercise in style.

Kill Bill’s Martial Arts

Kill Bill’s Kun Fu Scence

Long a fan of kung-fu films, Tarantino decided it was time to throw his hat into the ring and see if he could match up with the top action directors of today and yesterday. The answer was a resounding yes, as Tarantino delivered some of the best choreographed action scenes ever seen. He did, of course, have some help from master martial arts choreographer Yuen Wu Ping.

Century Gothic Font

Century Gothic is a design based on 20th Century, which was drawn by Sol Hess between 1936 and 1947. Century Gothic sustains the basic design of 20th Century, but has an enlarged ‘x’ height and has been modified to ensure suitable output from modern digital systems. Its design is influenced by the geometric style sans serif faces which were popular during the 1920s and 30s, and by the desire to give it widths compatible with ITC Avant Garde Gothic.
