I personally found the switch to B&W in Kill Bill disconcerting. I know why it happened, but did he run a color version past the MPAA first? Just wondering, never heard a definitive answer to that one.

Just watched the Japanese cut of 'kill Bill' and i gotta say it's much better.. You can actually see what's going on in the Crazy 88 scene now...

It's funny. In Japan they don't bat an eye at gore in films.

Yet they digitally blur the genitals in hardcore porn. What the french, toast?

The B&W in Kill Bill is definitely annoying. I've haven't seen the Jap version, but I hear it's much better. Hopefully someday a uncut version will be released in the US.

I'd buy that. I enjoyed the crap out of Machete.

I hate censored films.. I can't stand owning or watching them... I once accidentally bought the censored 'Thriller: They Call Her One Eye' instead of 'Thriller: A Cruel Picture'... what a mistake.. and i have a feeling my copy of Driller Killer is censored..

I hear an uncut version of Machete will be released that is more violent than the version played in cinemas...

Well i found the Japanese version on ebay.. it claims to be uncut and explains that there is an extra 2 mins of footage restored as well as the crazy 88 scene in color.. I think i might buy it..

I don't know if i could ever sit through a four hour version of Kill Bill..

I'm not sure if it's available uncut yet. I know a couple years back they were supposed to release both films on one set called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair but they haven't yet, and when they will -- if they will -- is pretty much anyone's guess.

Really? I'd be interested in buying it..

^i believe I heard that too. There was actually a thread on here about it way back when. Seems like they even posted a picture of the DVD box art and everything.

Sister, he can have 'em!

Chainsaw -- my understanding is the sequence is in full color on the Japanese DVD release from '04.
