It's the original "Volume" turned down, so that you can hear the considerably larger amounts of dialogue.

The second and final volume in Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL series is another stylish, sprawling masterwork. VOLUME 2 picks up where the first film left off, as The Bride (Uma Thurman) resumes her quest to track down her former mentor, Bill (David Carradine), and exact revenge. But before she gets to Bill, she must first take out the remaining minions who helped to slaughter her best friends and fiancé. First up is Budd (Michael Madsen), a quiet but dangerous country boy who lives in a trailer. Next is Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah), a one-eyed vixen who doesn't appear to have a heart--or a conscience. As The Bride makes her way closer to Bill, scenes from her past are revisited, including her training with the angry and brutal Pai Mei (Gordon Liu). Finally, The Bride locates her man, sparking a truly unforgettable confrontation. In contrast to the nearly dialogue-free first volume, VOLUME 2 is filled with extended conversations that bring the story full circle. Thurman is once again riveting as the determined assassin, while Carradine delivers one of his best performances ever as the sadistic title character. Director of photography Robert Richardson uses a variety of film stocks to great effect, adding even more flair to Tarantino's already eye-popping vision. Rounding out things is an electrifying soundtrack that features original music from The RZA and Robert Rodriguez, as well as songs from Shivaree, Ennio Morricone, and Johnny Cash. [More]

Reviews for Kill Bill Vol. 2
Maybe if Tarantino hadn’t sprinted so hard early on, he wouldn’t have run out of gas right when it mattered.
Vol. 2 finally tells us why we should care why Bill gets killed in the first place.
KB2 is still basically a cartoon, albeit a more elaborately illustrated one...
Now this is more like it! Mostly you remember the sadness -- a strange, tired melancholy distilled from a thousand weary Westerns
Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and David Carradine are simply more fun to watch than Lucy Liu and Vivica A. Fox.
Chapter 75: Quentin Still Loves Himself (Lest You Thought It Was Only a Summer Thing)
Second installment of Tarantino's meta-movie revenge fantasy is a very different film than Vol. 1, but just as good.
What should have been a comic strip has turned into a bloated coffee-table book, smacking of self-indulgence.
In and of itself, Kill Bill Vol. 2 is a worthy (and different) successor to Vol. 1. But its real worth can only be appreciated as part of the whole saga...
As a complete work, Kill Bill is not only Tarantino's finest work to date, but it's also one of the greatest movies ever made.
Watching it is like watching a symphony. You know every part, even for the lesser-used instruments, has been composed deliberately, with concern for the product as a whole.
Many sumptuous ingredients, perhaps more than necessary, ultimately and surprisingly delivering an operatic tale of the unstoppable force of motherhood.
Satisfyingly funny, violent and well-acted that even those who dismissed the first part as being nothing but mindless action and gore will find much to enjoy this time around.
The sword doesn’t claim a single victim this go ‘round, thus claiming Tarantino’s pen as the mightier.
