He loves Uma's feet evidently. I thought Darryl Hannah looked hot as the nurse with the red cross eyepatch.
When you take elements from so many differnt genres and pictures and throw them together, it's a big arsed salad but ultimately one still wants the main course.
The opening of the Tokio sequence to Al Hirt's Bumblebee Green Hornet theme was exhilirating in 5.0 Dolby as was the battle with the crazy 88s.
There is a lot of cool stuff in the film.
And if I conceed Daryl Hannah... who was in like 2 minutes of film... what about the rest of it? What's the underlying thing? Women can be as stupid as men but they also become mannish?
I've never been 100% Uma-prone, but I've seen things I think she looked great in. Lucy Liu, as I've said many times, strikes me as the winner of a nationwide ugly search. I am SO predisposed to asian women that it's amazing to find one I don't dig... yet I think she's pretty yucky. In this movie, Tarantino makes her look like the winner of an INTERNATIONAL ugly search. And he goes out of his way to do that.
And he goes out of his way to dwell on Uma's ugly, ugly feet.
Vivica A. Fox used to be Vivica THE Fox, but not after this one. Did you see the dress she wore to the premiere? It was as if after being in this film that she had to prove she still had her (store bought?) breasts.
This said, I think the film is really compelling. I just don't think there's any substance there, and it will eventually be remembered with such classics as, oh, Year of the Dragon.
What's your thoughts?
