The 2003 and 2004 films “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” will get standard 4K UHD Blu-ray releases (individually) on January 21st via Lionsgate. The films, both written & directed by Quentin Tarantino, starred Uma Thurman, Lucy Lui, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and David Carradine. It’s worth noting that both of these films are “Certified Fresh” based on critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes.

The tech specs for the 4K releases include a 2160p video presentation in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (or HDR10) form of high dynamic range with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless surround sound, on a BD-100 disc. Each release will come as a “combo pack” with its Blu-ray Disc counterpart and a digital copy of the film included. You can now find the 4K UHD Blu-ray of “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” available for preorder at Amazon. The bonus materials set to be included with these releases are listed below.
