Vol. 1 Uncut is complete and available for download. Just gotta drop me a line in PM for it. Vol. 2 Uncut is nearing completion; frame syncing is about 85% done and subtitle reconstruction will be done after syncing is complete.

[jhakson]

If it's not too much trouble I'd also like to see this version. I'm a huge fan of these movies and an obsessive data archivist so I'd love to check out a new version!

Project Name: Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 UNCUT

Project Info

In 2003, we were introduced to the first half of what made up Quentin Tarantino's fourth feature film project, Kill Bill. Initially conceived and shot as a four-hour epic grindhouse-inspired martial arts film, Tarantino was forced to split this epic film in half. After splitting the epic in Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Tarantino had to further edit the separated halves in order to gain an R rating from the MPAA. The U.S. and other territories ended up with the censored International Cuts of the films that most are familiar with, while Japan exhibited the original, uncut versions of Vol. 1 & 2.

The unedited Japanese cuts were never officially released in territories outside of Japan, and were only available on Region 2 DVDs that are long since out of print. Using these standard definition Japanese DVDs and the full high definition International Cut BDs, I have begun to reconstruct and remaster the Japanese Cuts in 1080p full high definition. The footage exclusive to the Japanese DVDs have been AI upscaled to 4K using Topaz's Video Enhance AI then downscaled to 1080p to be presented alongside the full HD footage of the blu-rays.

Video: Combination of the Japanese Region 2 DVDs and the US Region A blu-rays from the Tarantino XX box-set. Rendered in true 24fps.
