When I went to see KB vol. 1 there quite a few bunch of 5 years old with their parents watching the movie. Movie theathers should get rid of that stupid rating systems!
NEWS FLASH! 😱 Children can go into rated R movies if accompanied by an adult. NC-17 is "No children under 17."

stealing my topic! 😛 I was gonna post that! 😄
well, they do say great minds think alike... 😉
I have to agree, the only bit that actually felt like real violence was when he shot her at the beginning. the spurts of blood were, frankly, ludicrous, and the fight scenes unrealistic, but very artistic. I'd say 15, not 18, really.
Anyone thinking this movie should be less than an "R" rating needs a serious reality check, and possibly some psychological evaluation. End of story. Exactly what Drifter said; it's rated "R" and there's nothing you can do to change it. It's "R" for a reason, and if you can't understand it, that's your own problem.
Well, it was probably partially his way of leaving it open-ended for a sequel... especially after she says to Nikkia "If you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting..." that was so obviously his way of keeping his options open. And then you have BB, to whom play-fighting is a regular activity. She's practically a trained assasin already.

I guess they think it should be PG-13.
The way they are approaching this topic is all wrong. If anything, they should be protesting the rating system and say that movies with this stuff should be allowed to be seen by younger viewers (which I disagree). But with how the rating system is set up, this movie is definitely R. So again, argue the rating system, not the rating of Kill Bill.
Kill Bill Vol.1 was super bloody. Yes, it was cartoon blood, but there were a couple of scenes, like when she's slamming Buck's head or biting out that guy's tongue that are way too gory for any PG13 rating. Even the scene where Bill shoots her is really cringe-worthy. The first one should have been R just because it was really, really intense. The second deserved to be 14A or even possibly PG13 (here in Canada it's 14A) simply because there was less violence, but a little more profanity and debauchery (care of the one and only Budd).
Last summer Quintin got smashed by the MPAA about the violence in Volume 1, so he had to go back and edit it somehow, and the ending result: the anime scenes, and black-and-white sword fest at the end, and the language and such resulting in a R rating, isn't that obvious?
And Volume 2 got an R rating I assume for the language, when Bill blasts her with the shotgun out of nowhere, (scared the shit out of me like the gunshot at the beginning of both Volumes), burying someone alive, the blood seeping out of her hand when she busts open the coffin, her training...need I go on?
