I asked the same question you did, Occhi, when the film first came out.
Bolty presented a satisfying answer:
edit: Personally, I felt KB1 and 2 were some of QT's worst films. Although the first one was enjoyable to a certain extent, the dialogue and the questionable casting subtracted from the overall quality, especially as these two items - the writing the actors - tend to be the aspects of QT's films I appreciate the most. In Pulp Fiction, she was brilliant, in KB Uma Thurman was unconvincing as hell. I'd rather have seen Milla Jovovich in the role of the Bride. At least she has the viciousness and brutality in her eyes one would expect an assassin to have.
I'd also like to point out the opening sequence of KB(1) with the stand-off in the kitchen and the yelling of "bitch" back and forth between the killer and the killee. At this point in the film, I actually cringed for the first time to a QT-flick.
But hey, that's just my opinion.

Quote:Tarantino did not direct "True Romance" and "Dusk Till Dawn", so they are not his movies.
If I remember right he wrote part of "True Romance" and actded in "Dusk Till Dawn". There are actually quite a few movies thst Tarantino rewrote much of the script for but did have his name in the credits.
