Quentin Tarantino wraps up his dizzy double-dose of martial arts film tribute cum informed paean to junk cinema with the throw-it-all-against-wall abandon that's become his cliched trademark, if not necessarily his true strength as a filmmaker. That sensibility has long informed his quirky, world-pop savvy soundtracks as well, though this chapter's collection gratifyingly sacrifices a dollop of eclecticism in favor of a little more focused nuance. Revolving loosely around a decidedly international, free-floating axis of Latin rhythm (Chingon's "Malaguena Salerosa, " the flamenco-demento of Lole Y Manuel's "Tu Mira") and Western twang, Tarantino's choices include Morricone both familiar (The Good, the Bad and Ugly's evocative "Il Tramonto") and less so (Il mercenario's "l'arena," "A Silhoutte of Doom"), fellow Roman film scorer Luis Bacalov's slinky, guitar-driven "The Summertime Killer" and a couple disparate slices of Americana by country legend Johnny Cash and rockabilly loose cannon Charlie Feathers. The director's pop fare covers less adventuresome territory, though Malcolm McLaren's trip-hop take on the Zombie's British Invasion chestnut "She's Not There" somehow seems all-of-a-piece with the retro groove of Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon" and melodramatic kitsch of Japanese actress Meiko Kaji's "Urami Bushi." It's all interspersed with excerpts of Tarantino-penned dialog from the film, snippets that only inspire an even greater admiration for his adventurous taste as musical compiler/supervisor. -- Jerry McCulley

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Kill Bill original sound track vol 2 [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Thank you very much, very good music. I very like Tarantino. Music from his films is very very good.2) Yes, something's amiss. [Rating: 3 out of 5]
A good CD that suffers considerably from the missing tracks. However, as a result of searching for that which is amiss I was rewarded by finding R. Rodriguez's music, and Del Castillo.3) Ah Ah Ah Ah [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This Cd does not have everything on it from kill bill 2 that I wanted. A few songs and the bride training with pai mei hitting wooded wall sayingah ah ah ah. So there for I was somewhat dissapoint with this cd.4) Music From Kill Bill 2.... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I remember first seeing Kill Bill part 1 in the theatre, and hearing the opening track (Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang"). It was solely this track that made me want to pick up that soundtrack, and which lead me to picking up this sequel as well. I like this soundtrack much better. Yeah sure, some songs from the movie aren't on here. This album still delivers though. Among my favs:Track 2 - Awesome soft rock song. Shivaree sounds so sexy too.Track 4 - A great country sounding song, I love the way Charlie Feathers sings! It's kinda funny.Track 5 - Great spanish song sung by a kid; makes me think of poor dirt road towns in MexicoTrack 10 - Not a big Johnny Cash fan, but the lyrics in this song are great. Seriously.Track 12 - AWESOME song. I bet 100 bucks you'll like this oneTrack 14 - My fav. song on the album. A GREAT latin rock song. Makes me wish I was singing that to a bunch of latinas. Man I'd get so much--err nevermind.Track 15 - My 2nd fav. song. A great chill song sung by a Japanese Woman. Makes me think I'm in a dark empty bar in Tokyo or somethin. I dont know what's up with the rap music lateron in this track -prob. hidden- but it sucks. Bottom line, if you have good taste in music, pick this one up. I don't ever buy soundtracks, but this one and the first kill bill OST are in my collection.5) missing songs spoilt it for me [Rating: 3 out of 5]
i too wish i had been more careful and read the reviews, then i would have noticed all the missings songs and that the main one i wanted ( navajo joe - ennio morricone --bills exit ) was not on there. i still would have bought it but would not have been so dissapointed when i got to the end. i also feel very cheated.what is the point of bringing out a soundtrack and missing out songs? should it not be all of them?i feel bills exit music was a key song that should not have been missed off, as this scene is the whole point of the films, when she finally gets her revenge and should not have been missed.worth buying but a dissapointment
