The first volume of this Quentin
Tarantino film concerns a group of skilled assassins called Deadly
Viper Assassination Squad that turn on one of their own (Uma
Thurman) when she decides to quit, get married and have a family.
Leaving her for dead, she comes out of a coma four years later and
seeks revenge against her former colleagues (Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox and Michael Madsen) and their boss, Bill (David
Carradine). Also with Michael Madsen and Sonny Chiba. [1:50]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A hospital employee sells sex with a
woman in a coma to a man: we see the man climb on top of the woman,
he makes sexual remarks and moves close to kiss her. A man and a
woman are amorous (snuggling and speaking closely together) in the
corner of a room. A man talks about a woman needing lubrication
before sex and makes remarks about her sex organs. A woman asks a
man if he wants to have sex with her. People dance in a night club
scene. A man tells a story in a foreign language (there are no
subtitles) and makes a gesture with his hand indicating an erection.
A man's pick-up truck is named after the slang term for the female
sex organ and we see it in writing several times. We see a woman's
bare thighs as she puts on stockings. In an animated sequence an
11-year-old girl straddles a man (she proceeds to stab him in the
stomach).
VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - A woman bites a man's lip (or
tongue, it's not clear) and pulls, he screams and falls onto the
floor motionless, his face and chest are covered with blood, and she
is covered with blood. We hear panting and moaning, pan onto a woman
with a very bloody and bruised face and see her shot in the head. A
woman cuts a woman's arm off: blood sprays and pours and the woman
flails and screams. A woman throws a knife and it hits a man in the
Achilles tendon, he falls to the floor, the woman slams his head in
a door repeatedly (we hear crunching of bone and see his legs
twitching). A man's head is lopped off by a sword, blood sprays and
pours from his neck, the assailant holds the severed head in the air
and then drops it on a table. A woman is surrounded by people with
swords and a fight begins: she slashes and slices, one man's eye is
pulled out, an arm is cut off, a man is hit in the chest with a
hatchet, another hit in the head with a hatchet, we hear slashing
and squishing, a man's head is cut off, a man is sliced across the
mouth (blood sprays and pours and gushes), another man's arm is
sliced off, and a man's leg is sliced off. A woman fights off many
people with swords leaving many without limbs (there is a lot of
blood pouring, spurting, spraying and gushing). Two women fight with
swords; one is slashed on the back, she moans and bleeds, a woman is
slashed on the leg, they both slash back and forth, blood sprays and
we see a scalp with hair fly through the air and then one woman
falls to the ground dead and we see her exposed brain. A man and a
woman fight on a balcony railing: the man's legs are cut off and he
falls into a pool of water below (the water turns red from blood). A
young woman swings a bladed ball on a chain and hits a wall, it hits
a woman in the chest twice (we see blood in her mouth), and it hits
a woman on the shoulder (she is cut); the ball also hits a woman in
the back of the head, the chain wraps around her neck and she begins
choking. A woman is stabbed in the foot by a board with nails and
then in the head (her eyes bleed). Blood pours from a woman's mouth
and she screams. A woman fights many in a darkened room (we see the
proceedings in silhouette and hear gurgling and cries). A woman is
shot at. A woman kills another woman by throwing a knife to her
chest; she falls to the floor dead, and the first woman pulls the
knife out of her chest and wipes the blood off (a young girl was
watching). We hear about a woman's family being killed by a Yakuza
boss and we see the scenario played out in an animated sequence:
People fight, we hear squishing sounds from knives slashing, blood
sprays and pours from a man's back and chest, he falls to the floor
in front of a small girl who is watching under a bed, we see a sword
slammed into the back of his head and watch his eyes close as he
dies; the little girl whimpers, a woman is thrown onto a bed, a man
brings a sword down, we see it poke through the mattress near a
girl's head, the mattress becomes soaked with blood and a drop falls
on the girl's face. The room is then set on fire. Another animated
sequence shows a girl (she's 11 years old) straddling a man and stabbing
him in the
stomach (he spits blood and she pulls out the sword): the room is
then showered with blood, two men shoot at the girl, she shoots one
man's leg off, then his head, then the other man's leg is shot off
and then his head, and a man is shot from a distance and blood
sprays and leaves a hole in his head. A woman stabs a man in the
crotch, we hear a squishing sound and see blood spray when she pulls
her sword out. We see a woman being beaten by several people.
Several people lie dead on the floor surrounded by puddles of blood
and covered with blood after having been shot. A woman is punched in
the face and sails back through the air (we see many bruises on her
face and blood). Two women fight with punches kicks and knives: one
hits the other on the leg with a stick, they throw each other around
a room breaking glass and furniture, one is held in a chokehold, one
is hit with a fireplace poker, and they fight with a knife and a
frying pan (we see them both with blood and bruises on their faces).
A wounded woman is rolled down a hill. A woman throws a dagger that
passes near another woman's face and goes into a wall. Two men
argue, and one squeezes the other's hand. A woman who was pregnant
wakes up from a coma and screams in grief when she realizes she has
lost her baby. A man leans over a presumably dead body that spits
blood on his face. A young man is spanked on the buttocks with a
sword. A pregnant woman lying motionless on the floor is surrounded
by blood after having been shot. We see an extreme close-up of a
mosquito landing on a person's skin, we see it poke its proboscis
into the skin and hear it sucking and slurping. A woman threatens to
kill a woman's husband, her daughter and her. A woman threatens to
cut pieces off another woman's body. A man punches an ashtray, it
breaks and it cuts his hand. A man throws a baseball at a woman and
she cuts it in half with a sword. A woman falls to the floor unable
to walk after waking up from a coma.
