it was done in black and white becuase if it wasn't, there would have been to much blood and would have be NC 17. Is that true and where did you hear it?

Your right I found this on IMDB: The black and white photography is ultimately an homage to '70s and '80s US television airings of kung fu movies. Black and white (as well as black and red), were used to conceal the shedding of blood from television censors. Originally, no black and white photographic effects were going to be used (and in the Japanese version none are), 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.

The japanese version is in full colour and is longer. Everywhere else it is partially in B&W, it is due to the ratings but also in homage to some martial arts films that Quentin Tarantino used to like doing the same thing to avoid cuts.

Who knows why Quinton Tarentino does the things he does.
