Quentin Tarantino's revenge masterpiece comes to a bloody end with style. Now you can pop in both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and watch the movie as it was originally meant to be seen. That's about all you can do, though, as this marks the second straight Tarantino home release packing less bonus material than Michael Moore's waistband. There's a lone making-of documentary, which ducks behind the flying jump kicks and into the elaborate stunt sequences that comprise Uma Thurman's highly stylized road to redemption. It comes complete with a hyperactive Quentin spilling stories from the set and his friend, director/guitarist Robert Rodriguez, divulging that he scored Vol. 2 for free. Then there's corresponding footage of Rodriguez and his band jamming to the tune that rolls with the flick's end credits and a deleted scene featuring an homage to kung fu face-offs, pitting David Carradine against a host of poorly dubbed enemies. Take it home to make Uma's journey completejust don't expect more action after her trip ends.
