^ Tarantino even mentioned on an interview i read that he was forced to edit it. The fact that the screenings he was showing in sneak previews and such that i read about before the film was released plus the scenes in the original trailer i saw (in later preview's it was changed) where in color but where in B&W when i went to see the movie shows that it was a forced thing. Also i don't think its a coincidence that the screen switched to B&W right before the really gory scenes like the eye gouging and ect. ;D
All that aside though i did find the B&W scenes artistic and a really good way to avoid having to cut parts from the film. Kinda sucks how the Japanese release got the original cut yet from many things i've read (one review by an english speaking critic that lives in Japan mentioned that 75% of the folks walked out on the film and thats something that rarely happens in the country) the movie wasn't even liked that much in Japan.
