On the first day of its DVD release, "Kill Bill Vol. 1," Quentin Tarantino's ultraviolent, ultrastylish revenge orgy starring Uma Thurman, sold 2 million copies and made a whopping $40 million. Customers snapping up this fairly bare-bones disc -- in addition to the film, there's only a making-of documentary, a "Vol. 2" trailer, and video from the Japanese all-girl band the 5.6.7.8's, who perform in the film -- probably did so expecting a later version featuring both parts of the film. ("Kill Bill Vol. 2" recently opened in theaters.) But what customers buying the disc didn't know was that Miramax is actually planning six different DVD releases of the "Kill Bill" films.

<SNIP>

" `Vol. 1' goes out, `Vol. 2' goes out, then `Vol. 1 Special Edition,' `Vol. 2 Special Edition,' the two-pack, then the Tarantino collection as a boxed set for Christmas," he said. "It's called multiple bites at the apple."

Hooray for Hollywood! :eyes:

3. The 5.6.7.8s RULE!

I have a couple of their mid-'90s records.

They're still together, eh?

[Fenris]

4. I assume so. They were in the movie.

[Bossy Monkey]

5. Yeah, they were in Volume 1. MUCH the high point of either movie

and I liked both movies.

6. You can't top Japanese women playing surf rock.

That's the apex.

9. NightTrain...

...did you honestly think I wouldn't know them?

[NightTrain]

10. Hey, you never know.

The group ain't exactly a household name, at least not in the States.

By the way, my favorite 5.6.7.8.s tune is "Pinball Party." :headbang:

11. That's on the 10" EP, right?

I have the 10" and their first LP. I know I have that song.
