The black & white photography is, in the end, an homage to '70's
and '80s US television airings of kung fu movies. Black & white, and
also black & red, were used to "hide" the shedding of blood from
television censors. It was, however, originally, to be shown in
color (and is in the Japanese cut of the film) but the MPAA_demanded
measures be taken to tone the scene down. Tarantino merely used the
old trick for its intended purpose, rather than merely as an homage.
