The "god-slicer" is in the hands of The Bride, and they field before we get to the "field of dying men".

Also, The Brides legs were not paralysed... they were atrophied!

I'm not sure about the atrophied thing. If they were in fact atrophied, they would need months of exercise to return them to their original state. I think ebert is correct.

i think its like sleep paralysis, you know where you wake up wrong and cannot move your body for a bit?

that's what I think. I mean her big toe ("the hard part") wasn't supporting a huge load in the back seat. I don't think it was the miniscule amount of strength required to wiggle her toe that was the problem, I think it was actually getting herself to be able to get her muscles to react.

**confirmed**

I went with my girl (who loves this movie) today to see Kill Bill for a second time. The word mentioned in the narration is "inotropy" not "atrophie". Uma clearly says it with an I. According to merriam, this isn't a real word, but inotropic is, and it means "relating to or influencing the force of muscular contractions". Sounds like she was suffering from some variation of paralysis.

How does it compare to pulp fiction or Resivior dogs Tanrantino fans?
Better or worse?

I saw Kill Bill last week and watched Pulp Fiction again last night and I liked Pulp Fiction a lot better. However to be fair I, like everybody else, only saw half of Kill Bill. When Vol2 is released then maybe I might have a different opinion

Well I went and saw it last night and well not quite as good. Hell lets be honest not even close. It was a Matrix wannabe and Tarantino has lost his flair Both for dialog and story telliing. JMO of course. Must say I did enjoy his mocking of lame 70's kung fu movies in some scenes. (hopefully that was intentional)

Where are the memorable lines? "never fusk with another mans automoblie" "English, Mutha Fusker, DO YOU SPEAK IT"
