What is that song in the first 30 min. (or so) of Kill Bill vol. 1 where the entourage of asian men and women lead by Lucy Liu in that white kimono (I guess) walking through that restaurant and upstairs to the private lounge?
Well, it might be

I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 in the theaters and loved it. When I bought the dvd months later, I noticed there were little differences here and there. For instance, I remember seeing Buck hitting the ground then getting punch a few times to get stunned then dragged to the floor, or just a few extra shots in other fight scenes. Am I the only one who noticed this? Is this other version I saw out there somewhere? If so, can I get it?
Probably no other film made such a fuss about a longer version before its release than "Kill Bill Vol.1" - Quentin Tarantino already said beforehand in an interview that the movie will be released in its full uncut and original version in Japan. The reason why is obvious - because "Kill Bill" is an homage to the (especially older) Asian cinema. With Sonny Chiba (as Hattori Hanzo) and Chiaki Kuriyama (as Gogo) there are also two well known Japanese actors in the movie. These characters also find more attention with the Japanese promotion as they are highlighted in the DVD menu.
The most famous scene that was remade is probably the black/white final. You'll find more information regarding to this in the specific cut description.
The German version, which equals the international cut, was compared to the Japanese version. Without considering alternative footage and the b/w scene, the international version has been cut in 17 scenes for 62 sec.
The black and white scene and other differences will be mentioned separately.
I am watching Kill Bill Vol 1 on TNT, so I'm not quite sure exactly how' Lucy Liu's character dies. You see something fly off in the air with hair on it, but then when her body falls, there's hair there. Am I missing something?
She only chopped of the top of her scalp so there is still hair around her head.
does anybody know the name of that song from kill bill vol. 1 where she and hatori hanzo were in the attic and she was looking at his swords, and there was backgroung music playing anbd some one singing?
I saw the canadian release of volume 1 in the grocery store (of all places). Is the crazy 88 scene in black in white like on the us dvd?
Yep ! they are all the same. you can only find the crazy 88 scene in color in Japan. there's a special edition of the movie that just published in Japan.
