I was going with the "Originally one movie, cut in half" theory I've seen a few places. I'm not sure if it's true, but I believe it anyway. That said, this -could- work as one long movie, but it'd take some re-editing. Move some chapters to part two, move some to part one. (...more to part two than one. I can't see two having a lot of easily shuffled stuff.)
I did notice the lack of fight scenes in part two, yeah. That was part of what grated on me... but eh. I did like a number of scenes in part two. (The bit at the -very- end, the Bride curled up on the floor alternating laughing and sobbing? My favorite shot in either movie.) All in all, I saw the Bride as a stronger -person- in part 2. Part 1 was all badass, part 2 was raw determination making her that way. So... yeah.
Carradine, I really couldn't be brought to care about as much as I did about Budd. Budd was interesting to me. Bill was... just this old guy. Budd and Bill -together- I'm interested in. Like Ruppert says above, I really want to know what led to their falling out. (And I agree with your take on that office scene.)
...I still hate that damned Superman speech though, sorry.
If there's a single-movie director's cut in the works, I'll take that. Maybe it would even out the film(s) a bit. Otherwise...
