I watched this film when it was released in the fall of '03, and my little brain has been thinking about whether I liked it or not. I watched it again the other night on DVD before going to see
Vol. 2, and I can say with confidence that I liked
Volume One much better the second time I saw it. Now I'll have to wait to see if I like
Vol. 2 better after seeing it a second time, probably this summer.
I have one thing that is bothering me about
Volume One: Why would the Bride continue to drive the pussy wagon after returning from Japan? She killed two men at the hospital and disappeared. Buck's truck is missing. In the investigation, which surely followed, the missing truck would have been discovered (at the airport, maybe?). Then when she gets back from Japan, she drives it to Venrita's? It's not like the vehicle would blend in, or anything. I know, I know....IT'S JUST A MOVIE!
