Firstly, as a courtesy measure I give you.....

There, that should be enough
Amongst all this talk about 'Kill Bill 2 not being that UA' (paraphrased)
people seem to be focusing on the big things overarching plot (which i
think is quite UA personally, but my brains becoming wired that way
nowadays....), and forgetting about the little things which are very UA.
For example:
* The Incident at the Two Pines Chapel
Think about it for a second. A group of well armed people, led by a (at
the point in the movie) enigmatic figure walk into a chapel during a
wedding rehersal and moe everyone down. This is the sort of thing I'd
imagine happening to an Adept trying to leave the underground while still
having 'unfinshed business' or somesuch similar.
* The Coffee Shop
Remember the scene when the Bride walks into the coffee shop after
digging herself out of the grave. This speaks for itsself.
* The Films at the End of the film
At the end of the film the Bride watches Shogun Assassin (iirc the
english dubbed remake of the classic Lone Wolf and Cub movie Baby Cart
over the River Styx), and then goes downstairs where the TV is playing a
Western (couldnt tell you which one, my western-fu is weak sadly). Both
of these films are about (in UA terms) Masterless Men, a character which
Kill Bill (1 and 2) is full of - both the samurai and western variety.
All I have to say here is Statosphere, I leave the rest to your insane
imaginations.
</Rant>
In short, I _personally_ found Kill Bill 2 quite UA, but of course YMMV.

who just said alot of obvious things about the movie, and hopes that
someone catches his drift...
