Ranking All The Songs from The Kill Bill Soundtrack
The martial arts film “Kill Bill: Volume 1” was released in 2003. The movie was composed and directed by Quentin Tarantino, one of the most talented actors, filmmakers, and film critics hailing from America. This film features several stars, including Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madson, and Lucy Liu. Both Kill Bill films (Volume 1 & 2) were made as a single production for a single release. It proved too long to run for more than four hours, splitting it into two parts. The soundtrack to the first volume of the film is titled “Kill Bill Vol. 1 Original Soundtrack.” Robert Fitzgerald Diggs (RZA), a member of the Wu-Tang Clan, produced and organized the soundtrack. The soundtrack charted at number 1 on the Soundtracks chart and peaked at number 45 on the Billboard 200 album chart. This article will rank all the Kill Bill Vol. 1 Original Soundtrack songs.
