Kill Bill - Vol. 2

Kiddo takes up where she left off on her Hanso-sword revenge spree.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a modern spaghetti western, detours from Tarantino’s iconic dialogue-driven story telling and relies heavily on visuals.

DID YOU KNOW…

Bill’s “flute” is the same one David Carradine played in his 1970’s cult TV show, Kung-Fu. Welcome back.

Esteban, the Mexican Pimp, is played by Michael Parks – Parks also played Earl Monroe, Texas Ranger, in Kill Bill Vol. I. The character, Ranger Earl Monroe, is an encore performance – Tarantino fans will remember Ranger Earl Monroe in From Dusk Til Dawn.

What the? Did Esteban come out of nowhere? Tarantino created the Mexican cantina scene with Kiddo and Esteban in reference to Apocalypse Now – a trip deep up river, an unexpected, eccentric character living in the weeds that protagonist, Kiddo, meets along her journey.
