1.Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra

This song appears when the title credits appear. It is a very simple song with only a Spanish Guitar accompaniment. But the singer has a good background. She is the daughter of Frank Sinatra, the king of singing. Although the melody is simple, the lyrics are very harmonious with the movie story, as if the "bride" is whispering about the past grudges with Bill.

2. That Certain Female - Charlie Feathers

Obviously, this is a fast-paced country-western song. In the movie, it appears when a Texas police officer played by Mike Parks drives up to the scene of "The Bride's" murder. Xiao Kun used the same scene from "From Dusk Till Dawn" in this section. The row of sunglasses placed above the driver's seat made everyone in the theater smile heartily.

3.The Grand Duel (Parte Prima) - Luis Bacalov

What do you think of this melodious piece of music led by a harmonica and mixed with vocals? By the way, Spaghetti western! When hearing this kind of music, the scenes from the Italian classic "Once Upon a Time in the West" (Once Upon a Time in the West) will appear in the minds of fans of old movies: the setting sun is like blood, the yellow sand is like fog, and the gunmen are calmly confronting each other. Wait, the storm is coming soon! This mysterious, romantic and somewhat cruel music appears in the animation clip of O-Ren Ishii recalling his childhood past in the film. Hidden in the gorgeous violence is a drop of tears.

4. Twisted Nerve - Bernard Herrmann

This piece of music is used when Elle Driver from "One-Eyed Dragon" dresses up as a nurse to kill the "Bride". Whistling has always been a way for people to express relaxed emotions, but after you listen to this whistle, you will feel a chilling and eerie atmosphere. This piece of music comes from the movie "Twisted Nerve" of the same name. In fact, the composer Bernard Herrmann is a master of thriller music. He has scored dozens of movies in his life; of course, the most famous one is his relationship with the horror master Alfred Hitchcock. long-term cooperation.

5.Run Fay Run - Isaac Hayes

This music appears when the "Bride" takes a plane from Okinawa to Tokyo and gets off the plane to follow the O-Ren Ishii convoy. Composer Isaac Hayes is best known for his score for the 1971 TV series "Shaft," for which he won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1972 for a film that quoted the music.

6. Green Hornet - Al Hirt

As soon as you hear this name, you will know that it comes from the TV series "The Green Hornet" played by Bruce Lee. It is used in the movie In the section that showed the momentum of the O-Ren Ishii team, under the "praising" of the jazz trumpet, the style of the "Tokyo Underground Queen" was clearly visible.

7. Battle Without Honor or Humanity - Tomoyasu Hotei

This may be the most familiar soundtrack to the audience, and it was used in the first trailer. The music is very dynamic and realistic, and the scene used happens to be the slow-motion scene where "Tokyo Underground Queen" O-Ren Ishii visits "Aoba House", which can be said to be both stylish and interesting.

8.Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda

Crying claps, passionate and charming guitarist, typical Mexican style music. In fact, it is a disco tune, and the whole song is divided into two parts: vocals and pure instruments. It is not quoted in full in the movie, but part of it is used at the beginning of the final battle between "The Bride" and O-Ren Ishii. Because it has a flamenco style and a lively rhythm, Quentin uses it to match the movements of both parties in the decisive battle. It can be said to integrate "dance" and "martial arts".

9. The Flower of Carnage - Meiko Kaji

This track is also from a popular Japanese TV series in the 1970s. It is used at the end of the movie, when O-Ren Ishii falls to the ground, the music It started to sound, and the nostalgic and melancholy female voice, combined with the falling snow on the screen, immediately pulled the audience into the sentimental mood of the "bride" in the film.

10. The Lonely Shepherd - Zamfir

I believe many people are familiar with this piece of distress music. It has been used in countless movies, television and advertisements. It is used twice in the movie. The soothing and melodious tune is very suitable for the task of "opening up the past". When the audience walks out of the theater during the end of the film, they will definitely miss the movie and the second episode. of infinite expectations.

11.Ironside excerpt - Quincy Jones

This explosive music comes from Quincy Jones’ film and television works in the 1960s and 1970s. It is not only popular in the West, but also in the East. Hong Kong and Japan are also popular. In fact, Quentin heard it in an old Hong Kong film "The Best Punch in the World" (starring Luo Lie) in 1973 and was deeply impressed by it. To him, when such explosive music sounds, it means that the protagonist is about to go crazy. Therefore, he used this piece of music when the "bride" first sees her revenge object in the film, that is, the moment when Vernita Green opens the door. He wanted to make the audience think like this: "The Bride" is about to start fighting! Sure enough, in the next scene, the "bride" punched the other party back into the house...

Of course, the movie soundtrack also included several other songs and music clips, both Japanese contemporary pop Rock, there is also American urban rap, and there is also a kind of avant-garde rock called Krautrock. But because they have little connection with classic film and television works, the author will not elaborate on them one by one here.

However, the officially released movie soundtrack album does not include all the musical materials used in the movie itself. Here are the soundtrack clips that were omitted from the album but still have a strong style:

1.7 Notes In Black- Vince Tempera

Do you still remember this scene in the movie: the bad doctor named BUCK came in to "clear the place", only to find that the "client" he introduced had already Blood splatters on the hospital bed; at this time, the camera slowly moves from the close-up of BUCK's face to the ground, where is the angry face of the "bride"... This piece of music is very weird. It can be said that without this soundtrack, the shot would have been The thriller effect is much worse.

2. Truck Turner- Isaac Hayes

Another score written by Isaac Hayes, from the 1974 movie of the same name. In "Kill Bill", it appears in the "bride" scene in a wheelchair looking for BUCK. In fact, this film is also the only film in which Ishaqhaye plays a leading role.

3.Wound that Heals- Lily Chou Chou

When you see Lily Chou Chou, do viewers who are familiar with Japanese movies think of something? By the way, this vocal hum comes from Shunji Iwai's 2001 work "All About Lily Chou-Chou". The original style of the song was relatively sentimental, but after being used by Quentin in the scene in the film when the "bride" first meets Hattori Hanzo's famous sword collection, it has an atmosphere of both joy and sadness: I am happy that there are so many Good swords, but the sad thing is that they are first-rate killing tools. This emotion is probably a true reflection of the state of mind of the swordsmith played by Shinichi Chiba in the film.

4. From Man to Man- Ennio Morricone

Personally, I think this is the most important track missing from the movie soundtrack album, which appears at the climax of the movie: "The Bride" "Cut off O-Ren Ishii's assistant's arm with a sword, and the crowd in "Aoba House" flees wildly. A battle is about to begin! The chorus of human voices perfectly accentuates this climactic atmosphere, no less than an operatic rendering. In fact, this vocal music comes from the 1968 classic Italian Western film "Death Rides a Horse". Just listening to the music, you can imagine the excitement of a very gorgeous fight.

5.Nobody But Me- Human Beinz

After watching "Kill Bill", the audience will definitely be interested in the "bride" wielding two swords, rolling on the ground and cutting off her legs. The scene of Joo Chia Melon is very impressive. The music used in that section was this song, except for the vocals.

6.Urami Bushi- Meiko Kaji

It is unclear why Quentin did not include this song in the soundtrack album. When the soundtrack of the second volume was announced, the truth became clear: it It was included in the second episode's soundtrack. In fact, this is a topical song. As mentioned earlier, the entire storyline of "Kill Bill" pays homage to the 1973 Japanese movie "Lady Snowblood". This song is the theme song of that movie, and it is also the theme song of "Kill Bill". The theme song of "Kill Bill" appears during the end credits. I wonder how many viewers persisted in listening to it to the end?
