Meanwhile, Tarantino's own martial-arts action saga, the two-parter Kill Bill, is proving strong on DVD. Kill Bill Vol. 2 has been the top-selling DVD since its release Aug. 10, and its success has reinvigorated sales of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and other Tarantino DVDs.
The movies were modest successes at the box office —Vol. 1 scored $70 million, Vol. 2, $66 million — and they are solid hits on home video. Kill Bill soundtracks also are selling well.
All that bodes well for Tarantino's dream to bring a full-length Kill Bill to theaters. A film that combines the separate movies could happen as soon as early next year.
"It's not just like slapping the two together," he says. "There are slight changes, and it has an intermission, like a '60s movie."
The subsequent ultimate Kill Bill DVD would have a new collection of extras, too, but, he says, "it won't make these two (current DVDs) obsolete. We have put everything we could on volumes 1 and 2, but I have all this cool stuff we have from over the course of a year and a half making (the films)."

Well, that is another way to milk the franchise, Quentin.
Edit...
Come to think of it, they shout cut out the parts with Uma Thurman's toes.
