How would you respond if Kill Bill 3 was announced?

Tarantino is my favorite filmmaker, and Kill Bill is my favorite movie, and whenever a new Tarantino movie is coming out, I always think about hypothetical Tarantino movies that were going to happen or could possibly happen, so of course the notion of a Kill Bill 3 always pops up in my head. And during a recent Comic Con panel for his upcoming Hateful Eight, he said "Never say never. We’ll see when it comes to Kill Bill 3. Uma would really like to do it, we talk about it every once in a while" So here are some thoughts I have regarding the topic of a Kill Bill 3

1. If it's announced, I will bet any amount of money Lady Gaga would be in it. I dunno if Christoph Waltz will be in it.
2. So the Whole Bloody Affair is the one intended movie Tarantino had planned on releasing, and Vol 1 and 2 aren't separate films but two halves of one film that would have been separated by an intermission. Now the Hateful Eight is going to be Tarantino's longest film, and it'll be released in the way that the Whole Bloody Affair was intended, where it'll be separated by an intermission. If this film proves successful (which it will), then I bet a "Kill Bill 3" won't really be a Vol 3 that follows Vol 1 and Vol 2, but a new Kill Bill would be a sequel to the Whole Bloody Affair, a long epic that would essentially be Vol 3 and Vol 4 with an intermission.
3. I'm curious how Tarantino will tackle genre in 3. Kill Bill as a whole takes influences from kung fu films, chambara films (exploitation samurai movies like Lady Snowblood and Lone Wolf & Cub) and spaghetti westerns, and while elements of each genre appear in both films, Vol 1 has more of the chambara influence while Vol 2 has more of the spaghetti western. So if my theory is right and the next Kill Bill really is Vol 3 and 4, and wonder how he'll divvy up the genre influences in a follow up.
4. If it is announced, I'll be excited but also ungodly nervous about it. The idea of Kill Bill 3 makes me more nervous than any other film out there. For one, if Tarantino were ever to make a bad film, I wouldn't want it to be a long awaited sequel to my favorite movie of all time. And here's the thing that really makes me nervous. Sally Menke has been editing EVERY one Tarantino's film since Reservoir Dogs until she died in 2010, with Inglourious Basterds being her last collaboration with Tarantino. Now Django Unchained was directed by her assistant editor, Fred Raskin, and if there's one complaint I have about Django Unchained, which even though I love the ever loving hell out of that movie, it's that the editing in the movie feels noticeably different from Tarantino's other movies. And this wasn't the last time I complained about Raskin's editing. I love Marvel, but I didn't like Guardians of the Galaxy as much as everybody else, and one of the problems I had were that I felt the action scenes lacked excitement. Part of that was from the directing, but the editing made it feel slow paced, and guess who edited that movie. Fred Raskin. Not a bad editor, but he's no Sally Menke. So he needs to step his editing game up, because he has to make a follow up to Kill Bill feel like Kill Bill, which not only was edited by Sally Menke, but it's easily the best edited Tarantino movie.
5. I once read somewhere Tarantino said he was interested in making a couple Kill Bill anime films. One would be an origin story for Bill and the other an origin story for the Bride. If he does them, I hope he writes and produces them himself but gives them to other directors and releases them straight to DVD. Just make them little spinoffs for fans rather than full blown Tarantino films. Like that Wonder Woman movie. Made straight to DVD, and marketed to fans, so they can assure it'll be to the quality of satisfaction to a select few.

Lady Gaga? What?

[–] Slaterson420 8 years ago

Tarantino wanted her for Django. Look.

Also, she DID appear in Machete Kills. And she does drive the Pussy Wagon in one of her videos.

Well I suppose she'd be an interesting choice.

I agree completely. Kill Bill 1 & 2 are my favourite movies as well and to be honest I've been waiting for Kill Bill 3 since 2003.. I'm starting to get a bit scared now because it's been 12 years since the first Kill Bill and all the actors are only getting older. Uma is 45, so she'll probably be pushing 50 if Quentin ever decides to go forward with this project.

At this point it would probably be better to use completely different actors, I don't know. But that would suck. They should have done this in 2012-13 in my opinion.

She's overexposed and overrated as an actress.

[–] cartesianthought 8 years ago

Please, no. The 2nd film already felt aimless and derivative. I just don't think it needs to be a trilogy. I'd rather Tarantino enter new territory with a new film.

If KB3 did come out, I'd watch it because I'm a Tarantino fan.

[–] robobalboa 8 years ago

Only problem with KB3 is who would Beatrix really need to kill, and do we really want to see someone seek revenge on her like the idea involving Vesper's daughter.

KB is perfect the way it is.

IMO, I think a third Kill Bill movie would be pointless unless it was more of a prequel to Kill Bill 1 & 2. There is nowhere Tarantino can go with a third part unless it was a movie that delved into Beatrix and Bill's pasts leading up to her "wedding"

[–] reaseltbim 8 years ago

he always wanted to make a third movie.

he even thought about making the 3rd movie an anime

[–] mcgill_j 8 years ago

Wouldn't Uma being almost 50 BE part of the point? Nikki would clearly play a part. At this point she is what.. Maybe 17? Pretty close to the right age to come for revenge.

[–] Ehrgeiz 8 years ago

I think Tarantino cleverly paved a way for a 3rd Kill Bill in the first movie with the exchange between Kiddo and Greens daughter. Its doable, the age of the actors won't matter that much. But is it wise? I don't know. It was talked for years and I guess for Tarantino it would not be that difficult to get funding, but I have the feeling he left it for good. After "Kill Bill" he did another 2 revenge movies with Death Proof and Django, Inglorious Basterds was also a little in this corner with Soshanas character. "Hateful 8" was something different.

At one point, I remember there was talk about an animated Kill Bill movie and I would prefer that somehow. Leaves more freedom to the people who make it.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a 'Kill Bill' movie, but instead something that just pays homage to it. He (Tarantino) can make any movie, but could use a scene or a storyline where Nikki gets revenge. Truth be told, we all pretty much want to see Nikki get revenge...because, she, [in Budd's voice] deserves her revenge, and, Kiddo deserves to die.

For good measure, he can throw in Larry, to boss around someone who's wearing a *beep* kicker hat. Lol.

When we're thinking about our own brain, would that be a mental paradox??

[–] Hanz-Willhelm2 7 years ago

I'd want a different title. Bill's dead, his name shouldn't be on the film if they chose to continue with the saga's of Beatrix.

Lamar Jackson for Heisman!

I would love to see Kill Bill Volume 3!!! As long as there's a good story and lots of great action, I'm in.
