I ran across this fanedit several years ago, but the original copy that I had was not the actual fan edit listed here. That one was simply the two original movies joined together, somehow although it did have some of the material that was in the actual bloody affair cut.
I finally found another version of this, The actual version of this IMDb listing. It was exceedingly difficult to find. But now I have the actual film as described in this IMDb entry.
One Reviewer talks about the way that "the clan of the White Lotus" was clipped into the scene where David Carradine as Bill is describing Pei Mei's five point exploding heart technique to Beatrice Kiddo. This is not a negative thing, it actually connects this newer Quentin Tarantino film to the old kung fu movies. It is totally appropriate.
The actor playing Pei Mei was actually the same actor who was the leader of the crazy 88's. And he does look a lot like the original actor from the kung fu film.
In my version, the resolution of the older film was bumped up, so that it's not noticeably degraded from the rest of the Tarantino film in HD. But there are so many versions of this fan, edit that are not quite the right version floating around, which might have had a totally DVD resolution of that scene clipped in, done that way, it would look kind of bogus. But the version that I have is not like that at all, it is 100% high definition all the way through.
There are also many other alternate scenes. I don't know where the fan who edited this acquired those, but they are all very good material.
This is the proper way to watch this film, I saw both films in the theater when they came out and I had to wait an excruciatingly long time between parts one and two.
Now, I can watch both parts in one sitting, and I don't even have to change video files, it's all right there.
Somebody should try to get this cut legally distributed because it is simply too good to be a mysterious and difficult to find much less stream fan edit. Previously, I had come across a version of True Romance that was cut the way Tarantino had written it, it may have been edited by the same person because editing wise you could not tell between a regular movie and the fan edit. But the story of that one was a lot more negative than the theatrical release, it is very difficult to watch, especially the ending. Which was typical of early Tarantino work. When you get all the way back toward reservoir dogs, well, nobody gets out alive. It wasn't until later when he decided to have a couple characters actually escape by the skin of their teeth, he started becoming more popular. Pulp fiction era, possibly. Actually, his latest movies have gone toward the complete opposite extreme, all kinds of people escape.
