Kill Bill is the fourth (and fifth) film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, taking all his favorite things at that point in his career — westerns, samurai movies, martial arts, pop-culture references, Action Girls, and bare feet — and combining them all into one hell of a revenge drama.Conceived by Tarantino as one complete movie, Miramax split it into two parts (Vol. 1, released in 2003, and Vol. 2, released six months later in 2004) due to its length. Watching them together earns you a nice four-hour action romp filled with deliberately over-the-top violence which runs on the Rule of Cool. This original cut of the film was eventually released in 2011 as Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, with select sequences being extended or uncensored.The story — told in "chapters" and in Tarantino's signature non-linear fashion — centers around an Action Girl known primarily as "The Bride", a retired assassin who wants a normal life. Her former crew, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DiVAS for short), isn't too happy with that — and during the Bride's wedding rehearsal, they crash the church and slaughter the entire wedding party, then beat the Bride spaghetti western-style until she can't move. Once the DiVAS are done, their leader Bill walks up to the Bride and puts a bullet in her head — right after the Bride tells him she's pregnant with his child. Four years later, the Bride wakes up from a coma and vows to get her revenge on the DiVAS and anyone who happens to get in her way, saving Bill for last.Tarantino has toyed with ideas for a sequel, but as of 2023, it seems to be off the table. However, actors have expressed interest in the idea of daughters of the Bride's victims taking revenge for their mothers, especially Nikki, the daughter of Vernita Green.To view a partial list of the many references to other films in Kill Bill, visit here.

Self-Plagiarism: The Bride pulls a razor from her cowboy boot, like Mr. Blonde did in Reservoir Dogs. Also, Earl McGraw refers to the "Massacre at Two Pines" as a "kill-crazy rampage", the same term Mr. White uses to describe Mr. Blonde's shooting during the jewelry heist. Elle's line, "Now you should listen to this, because it concerns you," was previously used in Jackie Brown.

 Kill Bill / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: Played straight and subverted. Although Hattori Hanzo is described as the world's greatest swordmaker, making his katanas the world's greatest swords, the film undercuts the power of the katana on a number of occasions. The Bride gets knocked around quite a bit by a meteor hammer, and is at a disadvantage whenever she's faced with a gun. Her martial arts master is also a Chinese man who lambasts katanas and the Japanese.

 Kill Bill / int_141f6a73
comment
Artistic License – Martial Arts: The "one-inch punch" is absolutely a real thing, but it works by, more or less, propelling energy from a strong leg movement into your fist. As Mythbusters showed, a one-inch punch with just your arm while lying down has the power you'd actually expect of such a punch: that is to say, not a lot.

 Kill Bill / int_1869b4b1
comment
Let's put it this way: in a story related to us by Bill, which may or may not have taken place during the 11th century (making Pai Mei at least a thousand years old), he responds to a Shaolin's monk lack of thanking him for a respectful nod of the head — which the monk may or may not have actually been able to see — by requesting the neck of the Shaolin temple's master. His response to being refused? Massacring everyone in the Shaolin temple, of course!

When Bill finishes his Superman vs. Spider-Man parable by calling the Bride "a natural-born killer."

Bilingual Bonus: On the first film's poster, the characters in the background are a katakana transliteration of "Kill Bill" (in this case, reading Kiru Biru) — likely to save space, since the actual translation would be 「ビルを殺ã�™ã€� "Biru o korosu". The Chinese characters on Volume II's poster say "pursue and kill Bill." The scene with Gogo and the businessman has a bit of this. When he asks what Gogo thinks of Ferraris, he's actually propositioning her for sex. In Tokyo, "Ferrari" is slang for fellatio.

Conversational Troping: When the Bride finally confronts Bill, he monologues about the nature of the Secret Identity in superhero comics. Bill points out that whereas most heroes have to put on the costume to become their alter egos, since Superman was born as the alien Kal-El, his alter ego is in fact Clark Kent. Bill theorizes that Clark Kent is Superman's critique of humanity, comparing him to the Bride trying to blend in as a normal citizen when she was really born to be an assassin.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Bill will be "a murdering bastard" any day, but he will not (in the end) kill someone in their sleep, because "that thing would lower us". The Bride is sadistic and a mass-murderer, but she shows this as well. She sticks to the people on her list (and the Crazy 88) despite pointing out to Vernita to make things even, she would have to kill Vernita, her daughter, and her husband. She is also willing to stop the fight in front of Vernita's daughter, and appears genuinely regretful that she killed Vernita in front of her daughter. She also spares one of the Crazy 88 when it turns out that he is just a teenager who is obviously hanging with the wrong crowd. The scene that starts the Bride's plan to leave the DiVAS counts as well. She's just discovered she's pregnant, and the assassin sent to kill her agrees to go home rather than kill a pregnant woman.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: O-Ren, despite supposedly growing up in Japan, has a rather heavy American accent in Japanese. Lucy Liu did not know Japanese before the role and worked with a language coach to at least sound convincing to an American audience, but was obviously "gaijin" to Japanese audiences. Possibly justified as she's an American military brat; see Faux Fluency above.

 Kill Bill / int_37d94ed9
comment
Agony of the Feet: Depicted once in each volume. The Bride defeats Gogo Yubari by stabbing her in the foot with a nailed two by four, breaking her guard long enough to land a killing blow. After losing her shoes while struggling to get out of the coffin, the Bride walks barefoot through the hot desert in order to get to Budd's trailer. Later, Elle violently strikes the Bride's foot with her heel, and the latter also walks over broken glass during the fight.

Catch and Return: In the Crazy 88 fight scene, a hatchet gets thrown at the Bride, and she catches it right before it hits her. After the thrower throws a second hatchet — which she dodges, causing it to hit another one of the Crazy 88s — the Bride throws hers right back into the thrower's forehead.

Actor Allusion
 Kill Bill / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: When the Bride is talking to Vernita, she says, "that would be about square" and draws a square with her finger, similar to how in Pulp Fiction when Mia Wallace (also portrayed by Uma Thurman) says, "Don't be a..." and draws a square with her finger. Gogo stabbing a man in the crotch is a reference to Chiaki Kuriyama's iconic crotch-stab scene in Battle Royale. Also, this isn't the first time Buck has died in a doorway of head trauma. Heck, given how big a fan Tarantino is of Battle Royale, even the famous yellow track suit could be taken as a shout-out to Chiaki Kuriyama's role in that movie. Except it's a◊ Shout-Out to Bruce Lee. Daryl Hannah violently freaks out similarly to how her character did in Blade Runner. David Carradine as a kung fu expert. Sonny Chiba reprising his role as Hattori Hanzô. Budd is first seen wearing an ensemble identical to the thieves' uniforms in Reservoir Dogs. Gordon Liu, who plays Pai Mei, acted in a trilogy of films which also featured Pai Mei, in these instances portrayed by Lo Lieh — Liu himself never played Pai Mei until Kill Bill (in fact, one of those films, Executioners from Shaolin, opens with Pai Mei killing Liu's character). Tarantino was a fan of Liu's work in these films, and even referred to said films in the original script, claiming inspiration for the character from "films that feature Lieh Lo as the old, white-haired, white-eye-browed villain Pai Mei."

Son of a Whore: Heavily implied to be the case with Bill. The only person who knows his whereabouts just happens to be a pimp who apparently raised the sons of his prostitutes to become his enforcers, which explains the big age and appearance difference between Bill and his brother Budd as well as his penchant for getting women to do his dirty work for him. Snake Charmer indeed.

Actionized Sequel: Even though it's two parts of a single story, this is inverted. Volume 1 has a lot more action than part 2, with the final third or more of the movie being an extended action sequence where the Bride singlehandedly cuts her way through O-Ren's yakuza army before facing the woman herself. Volume 2 spends a lot more time on the narrative and fleshing out the Bride's character and only has two real fights, one of which is relatively short and brutal as opposed to the stylized action of the first part, and the second fight, the one where she kills Bill, lasts about 10 seconds.

Honor Before Reason
 Kill Bill / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: The Bride's conduct in the saga. She never "just shoots" her enemies like a coward; instead, she always honorably challenges them in a manner that allows them an equal chance at victory. She doesn't do this in a simple way, though: the Bride wants her revenge, and she won't hesitate to use dirty tricks if they're needed to win — ripping eyes out, using improvised weapons, attacking by surprise, you name it. Elle averts this. She's unhappy that Bill called off the hit on the Bride while she was still comatose; uses a black mamba to kill Budd out of pure jealousy and spite (though Elle actually accuses Budd of this trope's inversion, citing the reason as "regret that perhaps the greatest warrior I've ever met... met her end at the hands of a bushwhackin', scrub, alky piece of shit like you"); and she killed Pai Mei simply by poisoning his fish heads. Budd's decision to shoot the Bride. While the Bride very clearly challenges both Vernita Green (by knocking on her door unarmed) and O-Ren (by facing her minions first), she seems unwilling to grant the same favor to Budd — in fact, she ends up breaking into his trailer without warning, while being armed already with her katana. Whether she does so because she doesn't expect Budd to offer a fair fight, or because she underrated his value as a fighter, is never made clear. At the end of the day, Budd isn't given a clear occasion for a real duel, so his responding to the Bride's ambush with one of his own does not appear to be that cowardly. Budd's actions after the rock-salt buckshot might be interpreted as this. He's well aware of what kind of training the Bride had had with Pai Mei, so he was giving her the chance to claw her way back out of her grave if she had the will to do so. In the original script, although the Bride is still honorable, she does have occasional 'reason over honor' moments — most notably, the Bride actually planned to snipe Bill from far away, under the justification that he originally called a bushwhack on her and she was just repaying the favor. She doesn't go through with it because she sees B.B. through the scope and realizes that her daughter was still alive.

Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting: The Bride is allowed to take her katana on the plane with her, because it's considered matter-of-fact for everybody at the airport (and, by extension, the country of Japan) to have a katana. In that scene, where the Bride is flying out of Japan and formulating her death list, there is also a katana across the aisle from her, and the man seated behind the Bride has one as well. Probably everyone on the plane has one. In fact, the plane has special katana holsters attached to each seat.

Worthy Opponent: Each of the DiVAS expresses grudging respect for the Bride over the course of the two films. O-Ren, however, seems to be the only one of the DiVAS that the Bride actually respects. But even she doesn't believe that her sword is an authentic Hattori Hanzo katana until the Bride delivers a mortal blow with it. (See Graceful Loser, above.)

Four Is Death: A downplayed example, as the targets the Bride mainly focuses on (besides Bill) are the four members of the DiVAS who tried to assassinate her at her wedding. Note that while she does succeed in killing two of them, one is killed by another, and said other (her fourth target) doesn't actually die. Also Played Straight, as both films together are four hours long. The Bride is in a coma for four years. Counting both volumes as one movie, it is the fourth film by Tarantino. The list goes on.

Combat Pragmatist: Played with. Budd appears to be highly honorable at first, what with his talk of "she deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die" and all that. He ends up just shooting the Bride. In the tits. With rock salt. The trope is then inverted because Elle gets pissed that the Bride, her Worthy Opponent, got killed by this lazy schmuck and gives him the most painfully ironic death she can devise as a result. The Bride herself. She attacks Elle with, among other things, a TV antenna, a lamp, a chair, and a toilet (both smashing with pieces of it and trying to drown her in it). Prior to this, she and Vernita attack each other (and defend themselves) with ordinary household things like a frying pan and a coffee table. And Green turns out to have been keeping a hidden gun in her kitchen just in case. And Elle poisoning Pai Mei, who is so badass poison is the only possible way to kill him. Supposedly, anyway. The Bride defeats Gogo with the ultimate weapon in the series: a 2x4 with a nail through it.

 Kill Bill / int_5029c444
comment
Audible Sharpness: Zig-zagged at first. When the Bride first handles a Hanzô sword on screen, it makes a sharp sound just from spinning it 180° while still in the sheath. Then she unsheathes it slowly, and it makes the correct muted leather sound. Then she quickly unsheathes it the rest of the way, and the unrealistic metal-on-metal sound is present. Then when she sheathes it again, the muted 'whomp' is back. After that, it's pretty much all the expected examples, and naked Hanzo swords almost constantly emit a quiet, high-pitched tone. When the Bride pulls the knife out of Vernita's chest, a metallic "shing" sound effect is heard, even though metal colliding with flesh shouldn't make such a sound.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Kill Bill / int_50b05d30

Disproportionate Retribution: Where to start? Found within the story of Pai Mei that Bill tells the Bride. Pai Mei once offered a small nod of deference (a rare gesture) to a passing Shaolin monk, who failed to return it — for all anyone knows, the monk might not have even noticed it. For this grave insult, Pai Mei headed to the Shaolin Temple and demanded the neck of the head abbot as an apology. When the other monks pleaded for mercy and tried to console Pai Mei, he slaughtered every one of them, burning the monastery down afterwards. Also: Pai Mei again, plucking Elle Driver's eye out for calling him a "miserable old fool". Unfortunately for Pai Mei, Elle is just as much a psychopath as he was... It supposedly could have been worse for Elle: Bill warns Beatrix that Pai Mei was also liable to snap someone's back for disrespect. So you could say she got off easy...

Elle Driver poisoned Pai Mei after he ripped her eye out, and she sics a black mamba on Budd after he claims to have killed the Bride. The Bride later rips out Elle's remaining eye, and leaves her locked in Budd's trailer with the black mamba in question. Of course, the list of former members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad shown at the end has a question mark by her name, but scratches through the names of all the ones the Bride killed — which, if Tarantino is to be believed, is meant to be the opening for a sequel to Kill Bill involving B.B., Vernita Green's daughter, and a blind Elle and amputee Sofie as the latter daughter's masters.

Age-Gap Romance: Bill, an old assassin and martial arts warrior who grew up in the 1940s, is outright shown or implied to have been in relationships with several of his decades-younger students, including the Bride, Elle Driver, and most likely Sofie as well. When Bill shows up to the Bride's wedding, she lies to the groom that he's her father, but he's actually her lover and father of her child.

Book Ends: As a duology, Kill Bill begins and ends with the Bride hesitating to kill someone with their child present, sending the child away, planning to fight in an alternate location away from the child, and finally being forced to kill them in a relative anticlimax because they forced her hand by trying to attack her with her guard down. The last thing the Bride asks Bill before the wedding rehearsal (and subsequent massacre) begins is "Do I look pretty?". Years later, when Beatrix hits Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, he asks her, "How do I look?"

Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: B.B., both serious and lighthearted (at once) — although it wasn't so much "reports" as assumption, considering the Bride enters her coma badly beaten and pregnant, and awakens after four years in a hospital, not pregnant.

Police Are Useless
 Kill Bill / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: The only cops we ever see are those at the scene of the massacre. After that, the movie takes Willing Suspension of Disbelief and cranks it up to eleven regarding the ease with which the Bride pulls her whole scheme of revenge off. One would think a woman waking up from such a long coma (let alone one that killed more than one hospital staff member after doing so and is now missing and possibly armed and dangerous) would be on the news somewhere, and they'd know about it, but the Bride manages to take Vernita and O-Ren by near complete surprise (especially given the Anachronic Order of the events). Vernita clearly has no idea her old teammate's entire organization was slaughtered in something that would likely be a headline. Also, the Bride was driving around in Buck's very noticeable yellow truck in a residential area. Someone should have noticed this — to say nothing of the gunshot after a violent fight and argument — and could have called the police with a description of the vehicle. But apparently, the Bride continued to drive that same vehicle for a while, the equivalent of wearing a sign that says, "I'm a murderer on the lam".

Breast Attack: Budd opens his 'duel' with the Bride by shooting her in the chest with rock salt. (He specifically says he was aiming for her breasts.) This attack, more than any other across both films, incapacitates the Bride; she spends the next two minutes writhing feebly and moaning in pain, especially after Budd rolls her over onto her wounded front. The Bride doles one out to Gogo Yubari's sister Yuki when the latter ambushes her in the original script.

Bloody Hilarious: The blood fountain (and there really is no other way to describe it) that erupts when O-Ren cuts off Boss Tanaka's head is hilarious, if only for the fact that it sprays blood five feet into the air for a solid 10 seconds. As well as when the Bride chops off Sofie Fatale's arm. Amazingly, the sound of Boss Tanaka's blood is even more graphic on the soundtrack album than the film itself.

Sequel Hook: Elle and Sofie are still alive (if not in one piece), Budd still had some friends back in Barstow, and Vernita's daughter saw her mom killed in front of her eyes. Add the Bride's own daughter to the mix and Tarantino's comments, and "Kill Beatrix: Vol. 3" is just waiting to be born. The trope is also inverted in that, with the exception of the question mark in the end credits, none of these happen near the end of the films. In fact, only Budd's friends even happen in the second movie!

Like Cannot Cut Like: While Hattori Hanzo declares the weapon he made for the Bride his finest work, it has no particular advantage over other Hanzo swords in battle, and is incapable of cutting through them like it can other katanas. Alluded to by Budd, who — when Ellie asks him how the Bride's Hanzo sword compares to his — answers that you can only compare Hanzo swords to 'every other sword ever made that wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo'.

comment
Lip Losses: After awakening from her four-year-long coma in Vol. 1, the Bride discovers that Buck the orderly has been prostituting her unconscious body to paying customers. After Buck leaves the room for the sake of his client's privacy, she pretends to still be comatose while the latest john climbs on top of her, and as soon as he tries to kiss her, she chomps down hard on his lower lip — complete with a charming shot of the damn thing being stretched to its breaking point! In Vol. 2, semi-retired pimp Esteban Vihaio remarks that Bill was unnecessarily harsh in shooting the Bride in the head, claiming that he would have just cut her face. It sounds pleasant by comparison, but then we see that one of his prostitutes is sporting a painful-looking gash running from her lower lip to the base of her nose. Equally unpleasant is the fact that the poor girl can't properly close her mouth as a result, forcing Vihaio to lend her a hankie to mop the saliva off her chin.

Retired Monster
 Kill Bill / int_72e54916
comment
Retired Monster: Most of the characters we see: Vernita and Budd have both left the criminal lifestyle behind — but not their skills as assassins. Inverted in the case of O-Ren, who only gave up the assassin's lifestyle to become head of the Yakuza in Tokyo. Bill seems to have left the business behind as well in order to raise B.B. The original script has him semi-retired, occasionally taking hits if the mark "deserves" it. Bill's adopted father Esteban is still a pimp, but there is an implication that he was much worse in the past and more involved in crime. The Bride retired from being an assassin so that she could raise her child. She never seems all that remorseful for her past actions, nor did she care what her former lover/partners did as long as they didn't bring trouble her way. Unfortunately for them, they did. Pai Mei seems content enough with living alone, but when he was younger, he was willing to slaughter an entire temple for a slight insult that may not have actually happened. Also, he is more than willing to snatch your eye out of its socket (or snap your back) if you talk back to him. The only notable aversion is Elle Driver, who is still working full time as an assassin when the Bride wakes up from her coma.

Action Prologue: A downplayed example. The movie opens with the Bride being executed by Bill, and we get a credits sequence of her comatose in the hospital. But then it immediately cuts to her walking up to Vernita Green's house and attempting to kill her, leading to a drawn-out fight sequence with little context. After Vernita's daughter comes home, they do stop the fight and we get a bit of context, but not much before Green tries to shoot the Bride and gets killed for it. THEN we get to see what happened right after the Bride got shot in the head.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: The Bride asks a young girl if she would like to watch a video before she goes to bed. The girl's answer? Shogun Assassin. Being a former member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, the Bride sees nothing wrong with this.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Karen Kim, the rival assassin who faces off with the Bride just after she's taken the pregnancy test, walks away and isn't specifically mentioned again. Bill claims to have hunted down the people he'd thought responsible for the Bride's murder, but doesn't name them, so it's unclear if Ms. Kim paid for her role in Kiddo's disappearance with her life. The remaining five or six Crazy 88s. They were all missing limbs after their fight with the Bride, so unless they received the immediate medical attention that Sofie did, they would have eventually died as a result of physical trauma coupled with extensive blood loss and become the Crazy Zeroes.

Invoked by name, but surprisingly not the technical Trope Namer; Tarantino used the phrase in a Shout-Out to the blaxploitation classic Ebony, Ivory, and Jade. Given that Kill Bill is much more popular than that film, and thus was likely what was in mind when the trope was named, however, it might as well be.

Karmic Death: Elle Driver poisoned Pai Mei after he ripped her eye out, and she sics a black mamba on Budd after he claims to have killed the Bride. The Bride later rips out Elle's remaining eye, and leaves her locked in Budd's trailer with the black mamba in question. Of course, the list of former members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad shown at the end has a question mark by her name, but scratches through the names of all the ones the Bride killed — which, if Tarantino is to be believed, is meant to be the opening for a sequel to Kill Bill involving B.B., Vernita Green's daughter, and a blind Elle and amputee Sofie as the latter daughter's masters. Boss Matsumoto is impaled with a katana on a bed, the same way he murdered O-Ren's mother, with O-Ren pretending to be a child prostitute.

Villain of Another Story: Both the Bride's Evil Mentor Pai Mei and Retired Monster Esteban Vihaio are very evil people by most standards, but they only exist in the film as part of Bill's sinister background. Both actually aid the Bride in going after Bill. To drive the trope home, the film's version of Pai Mei is directly modeled on Pai Mei's Historical Villain Upgrade appearances as the Big Bad of Executioners from Shaolin — that's where the story of the temple massacre comes from — and as a minor villain in Fists of the White Lotus, making him quite literally the villain of another story.

Recycled Trailer Music: Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity" began showing up all over the place (in movie trailers, at sporting events, in other movies like Transformers (2007), which used it to punctuate Bumblebee's "makeover") after Tarantino's usage of the song made it famous. Covers of the famous bass riff also show up routinely on television in scenes that homage or spoof its usage in Vol. 1. (Examples include Robot Chicken's parody Kill Bunny, as well as a scene in Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins involving Mystery Inc. sneaking onto a school campus in disguise.) The 5-6-7-8's were featured in a few commercials since the film as well. And this scene from The Good, The Bad, The Weird uses Santa Esmeralda's cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" to great effect.

Double Take
 Kill Bill / int_9af54b9d
comment
Double Take: When the Bride is finally able to sit down with Bill and confront him about what he did, he admits that he "overreacted". The Bride obviously waits for him to say more, and when he doesn't, she sits visibly nonplussed for a long moment as she tries to process, that no, really, this is all Bill is willing to say about it.

Overly Long Gag: When the Bride arrives at the House of Blue Leaves to confront O-Ren, she casually severs Sofie's arm, causing her to fall to the floor in agony, screaming while her stump shoots blood everywhere.

The Bride's conduct in the saga. She never "just shoots" her enemies like a coward; instead, she always honorably challenges them in a manner that allows them an equal chance at victory. She doesn't do this in a simple way, though: the Bride wants her revenge, and she won't hesitate to use dirty tricks if they're needed to win — ripping eyes out, using improvised weapons, attacking by surprise, you name it.

More Deadly Than the Male
 Kill Bill / int_a3458bf2
comment
More Deadly Than the Male: While the Bride herself is a force of nature, an overwhelming majority of her deadliest foes are female, with the only male enemy of particular note, Budd, favoring guile over any kind of fighting ability. Even Bill himself goes down in a fight that, while very intense, is much shorter and more straightforward than anything that comes before it. That said, Pai Mei is suggested to be the most dangerous fighter shown in the films, though he stays out of the main plot and never fights the Bride outside of training.

Mood Whiplash: Two examples, one for each film: In Vol. 1, when the Bride visits Hattori Hanzo for the first time in his sushi diner, the meeting is portrayed as a light-hearted and silly interaction between a naive tourist and a Japanese native... until she drops his real name. The scene instantly becomes deadly serious. In Vol. 2, as the Bride is infiltrating Bill's home and preparing to ambush him, dramatic tension builds... and then she discovers her 4-year-old daughter playing a game of Wild West with Bill, which she has no choice but to play along with in an appropriately silly fashion.

No mistake about it, the Bride does not fuck around. And the very first part that she starts with is Sofie's remaining arm, as she already chopped off the other one... The Japanese cut has her making good on this threat.

Code Name
 Kill Bill / int_a7defafd
comment
Code Name: The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad uses the names of lethal snakes as code names. The Bride's was "Black Mamba." This also doubles as Names to Run Away from Really Fast — the Black Mamba is generally considered to be the most deadly snake in the worldnote Black Mambas are closely related to cobras (they even have hoods), and have similar venom toxicity, but are much faster and more aggressive than cobras, often biting multiple times during a strike. They are also more likely to be encountered in remote areas that make it difficult to reach a hospital in time for antivenom to be administered, which leads to the question of how the others didn't see the end coming.

Harmful to Minors: O-Ren Ishii witnessed the death of her parents at the hands of Boss Matsumoto when she was nine, and took her vengeance two years later. The Bride tries to avoid this when she kills Vernita Green, but winds up doing it right in front of her daughter anyway. Knowing full well what usually happens to a kid after this, she tells her "When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting." (This is a great Sequel Hook. Tarantino is on record as having ideas for Kill Bill Volumes 3 and 4 already rolling around in his brain.)

Oh, Crap!: O-Ren gives a massive "this is gonna suck" when the Bride reveals herself to her, and an even bigger one when the latter slices Sofie's arm off. In O-Ren's backstory, one of the mooks of Boss Matsumoto gets one when, after being knocked down to the floor by being shot through his foot, he sees a young O-Ren under the bed and aiming a gun directly at him. He barely registers fear before getting a bullet in between his eyes. Vernita gets an "Oh, Crap!" face in the middle of her fight with the Bride when her daughter comes home from school. She seems to realize that, whether she survived or not, her daughter was going to be traumatized by this experience.

Faux Fluency: Lucy Liu plays a character who was supposedly born and raised in Japan, but has a heavy American accent. Possibly justified, as U.S. military brats raised on military bases tend to speak with American accents, but as she's voiced by a native Japanese speaker in her flashbacks, it's particularly noticeable. Uma Thurman likewise recites all her Japanese lines phonetically.

comment
Antagonist in Mourning: Given a nod when Budd and Elle think the Bride is dead. Budd asks Elle, who considered the Bride a personal rival/nemesis, which R she feels: relief, or regret. Elle prematurely calls Bill to tell him that both Budd and the Bride are dead. (Her side of the conversation indicates his sorrow.) More importantly, Beatrix weeps in the bathroom after she kills Bill. The Bride is visibly sorrowful after killing O-Ren in their duel, as Ishii was probably her only true friend in the DiVAS. And this happens to Bill twice more: first when he believed the Bride had been killed, while she had only run away after finding out she was pregnant and again, as he explains later in Vol. 2 to B.B., that he felt very sad after, you know, hunting her ass down and putting a bullet in her head. Sorry, kiddo!

Lost in Translation: Hattori Hanzo calls his assistant hage, or "baldy", at one point in Japanese, but the subtitles don't convey that. This makes the assistant's next line, "I'm not bald, I shave my head" seem like it comes out of nowhere.

Improbably Quick Coma Recovery
 Kill Bill / int_b7eaa396
comment
Improbably Quick Coma Recovery: After four years in coma, the Bride is miraculously awake and sits up abruptly. She can't even walk, yet she manages to beat her rapists single-handedly. After spending just 13 hours regaining her ability to move her legs, she could finally walk again, drives the Pussy Wagon, stays healthy and becomes even more badass afterwards. In real life, recovery from a four-year coma should have taken months or even likely years.

Whole Costume Reference: The Bride wears a tracksuit very reminiscent of Bruce Lee's from his final movie Game of Death, and O-Ren's outfit is very much inspired by Lady Snowblood. The suit and blouse Elle wears to meet Budd is the same one Uma Thurman wore on her date in Pulp Fiction and is also worn by the titular character in Jackie Brown.

Precision F-Strike: O-Ren in volume 1: "The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your fuckin' head. Just like this fucker right here." Downplayed with Texas Ranger McGraw. At first, he disciplines his son for blaspheming in a chapel, but after the Bride reflexively spits in his face: "Son Number One? This tall drink of cocksucker ain't dead." An excellent one from Bill in volume 2: "You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person. But every once in a while...you can be a real cunt."

Berserk Button
 Kill Bill / int_bc74ef27
comment
Berserk Button: The penalty for disparaging O-Ren Ishii's Chinese or American heritage is decapitation, which she does to Boss Tanaka following her taking power at the crime council when he insults her heritage. Her warning about the penalty leads to her Suddenly Shouting (see below). Pai Mei is practically one big walking berserk button; even the slightest perceived offense, intentional or not, can result in him inflicting grievous bodily harm on you, if you're lucky. Let's put it this way: in a story related to us by Bill, which may or may not have taken place during the 11th century (making Pai Mei at least a thousand years old), he responds to a Shaolin's monk lack of thanking him for a respectful nod of the head — which the monk may or may not have actually been able to see — by requesting the neck of the Shaolin temple's master. His response to being refused? Massacring everyone in the Shaolin temple, of course!

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?

comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Her meeting with Bill. Bill does shoot the Bride eventually — with a truth-serum gun. On the Bride's end, killing Bill isn't really the point. She obviously wants to make peace first. Subverted in the first movie: Vernita tries to shoot the Bride, but she misses her mark and gets a knife through the sternum immediately after. There's also her run-in with Budd. As soon as she opens the trailer door... Bang.

Irony: Racially prejudiced, misogynist Pai Mei considered the Bride, a blonde white woman, the greatest student he had ever taught — enough so, even, that she inherited from him his top-secret, super-forbidden Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. It works the other way around, too: Pai Mei's next, and ultimately final, student was another blonde white woman who happened to be the complete opposite of the Bride and was perfectly willing to kill him over an eye.

It also removed some scenes, most notably the Wham Line which ends Volume 1, in order to create a more singular, seamless experience.

Shout-Out
 Kill Bill / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The very first moment of the film proper displays the quote, "Revenge is a dish that is best served cold", attributed as an old Klingon proverb, which is a reference to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Perhaps most notably, the live-action film adaptation of Lady Snowblood. Aside from the general similarities in the plot, Vol. 1 uses the film's theme song, and many shots, especially O-Ren Ishii lying on the ground after her death, are strikingly similar to those in Snowblood. One specific one is that the Bride wears a jumpsuit similar to the one Bruce Lee wore in Game Of Death when she takes on O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88s. Gordon Liu, who appears as Johnny Mo in "Volume 1", and Pai Mei in "Volume 2", starred in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The style of the Bride's training regimen is modeled after The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Also, the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album is named in honor of The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)". The RZA, the creative force behind the Wu-Tang Clan, composed the original music for "Kill Bill". "My name is Buck and I came here to fuck" is a modified line from Eaten Alive! (1976). Tommy Plympton was named in honor of animator Bill Plympton, whom Quentin Tarantino had recently met and became friends with at ComiCon.note "Met and became friends with" meaning that Plympton supposedly saw Tarantino, leaped over his table in the dealer's room, and ran over to gush about how big a fan he was. The bald-head man in a yellow kimono is compared to Charlie Brown. In fact, that's the name by which he's credited. Given the nature of the film, it's probably best just to link to the IMDB's "movie connections" pages for both volumes.

No Name Given: Forced and lampshaded (as her name is actually bleeped out), but also very subtly averted for the Bride in the first movie: although she seems to be completely pseudonymous, her real name can be seen very briefly on an airline ticket; furthermore, what seems to be just Bill's affectionate nickname for the Bride — "kiddo" — turns out to actually be her surname. Also, the "silly rabbit, Trix are for kids" exchange between the Bride and O-Ren seems at first to be an entirely random pop culture quote (Tarantino has suggested that he wants it to come across as an old in-joke between the two), but is actually a veiled reference to the name Beatrix Kiddo. Lampshaded when the Bride's real name is revealed and the scene cuts to a school classroom, with the (fully grown) Bride answering the teacher when her name's called.

Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: The infamous primetime version of the film contains the absolutely jarring line, "My name is Buck and I like to party." Comedian Doug Benson discussed this, asking, "You couldn't just change his name to Marty?" Buck's clothes still have a nametag. They could've tried something that rhymes anyway, like "My name is Buck, and looks like you've run out luck."

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Invoked by name, but surprisingly not the technical Trope Namer; Tarantino used the phrase in a Shout-Out to the blaxploitation classic Ebony, Ivory, and Jade. Given that Kill Bill is much more popular than that film, and thus was likely what was in mind when the trope was named, however, it might as well be. Very downplayed in Vol. 2, because while it is still a very violent movie, by the end credits, the Bride has taken only one life.

An Arm and a Leg: Taken to ridiculous extremes, with many members of the Crazy 88 and Sofie Fatale losing various limbs to the Bride. This is also how the Bride exacts both revenge on and information from Sofie Fatale. Cutting off Sofie's arm at the start of the Crazy 88 fight shows O-Ren Ishii that the Bride means business, and she takes the other arm away during her interrogation following the big battle.

Mundane Made Awesome: "Wiggle... your big toe." O-Ren Ishii's entire sordid backstory was building up to that. Deconstructed for both drama and humor in that it takes an additional 13 hours for the Bride to get the rest of her lower torso functioning again, presumably with other monologues. Also played for drama is Bill's death after the Bride lands the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique on him. Never has taking six steps forward ever been so heartwrenching.

Training from Hell: "The Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mei" is the name of the chapter where the Bride flashes back to her martial arts training, and it definitely is hellish. Most notably, in order to build her strength, the Bride has to punch a wooden board over and over again, even as the skin on her knuckles splits open.

Cat Fight / Designated Girl Fight: Subverted consistently. None of the fights look like Fanservice for titillating male audiences, and the women are fighting as brutally as you'd expect from men — even more brutally, sometimes, with no scratching and hair-pulling. The Bride's fight with Elle Driver in particular is especially vicious and sees both of them covered in blood, sweat, spat tobacco, and toilet water.

The Bride introduces O-Ren through a Start of Darkness flashback to O-Ren's childhood done in anime style, where Boss Matsumoto and his men kill both of her parents as she hides under the bed. At one point, a sword blade goes through her mother and the bed courtesy of Matsumoto himself, and her mother's blood drips down onto her. Luis Bacalov's beautiful score from "The Grand Duel" plays throughout. Later during the flashback, two women wearing beauty pageant sashes are splattered with blood when O-Ren assassinates a government official in his limousine.

With one swing, she can easily sever a limb, cut a person in two, take off the top of a person's skull, or even cut another sword as if it's made of bamboo instead of steel.

Know When to Fold 'Em: The Bride has been knocked out and tied up by Budd and is at a cemetary about to be buried alive. When Budd tries to grab her arms, she starts struggling. He brings out a can of mace and a flashlight and gives her two options: keep struggling and get the entire can sprayed into her eyes or keep calm and she'll get the flashlight. Either way, she'll still be put in the coffin and buried. The Bride relaxes and nods her head in the direction of the flashlight. Budd even calls that a wise decision.

Resignations Not Accepted: When the Bride tried to resign from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, they tried to murder her. The second installment indicates that she didn't quit as much as walk off her current assignment and allow Bill to think that she was dead so that she could start a new life somewhere else and avoid having Bill raise their child as an assassin. The ironic part is, by the time she wakes up, the Deadly Vipers are defunct as a team; in fact, only two of them are still active criminals.

Quentin was planning a third volume of the story, to be released in 2014, and he dropped that half of the brick joke knowing it would be eleven years before it would pay off. As of 2015, Volume 3 hasn't even seen the announcement stage. Pai Mei scoffs that American women are only good for ordering in restaurants. Several months of brutal training, a few years, and a live burial later, after clawing her way out of the grave, the Bride goes into a cafe and asks for some water.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Kill Bill / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: The Bride is a gorgeous blonde who gets beat up, slashed up, bloodied, shot up, and even buried alive, and still kicks serious ass on just about everybody she meets — and this is a woman who is referred to as being very beautiful by multiple people. As bloodied and bruised as she gets, none of her wounds appear to leave a visible lasting mark that mars her beauty. She's lucky she wasn't one of Esteban's girls.

Blood-Splattered Innocents: The Bride introduces O-Ren through a Start of Darkness flashback to O-Ren's childhood done in anime style, where Boss Matsumoto and his men kill both of her parents as she hides under the bed. At one point, a sword blade goes through her mother and the bed courtesy of Matsumoto himself, and her mother's blood drips down onto her. Luis Bacalov's beautiful score from "The Grand Duel" plays throughout. Later during the flashback, two women wearing beauty pageant sashes are splattered with blood when O-Ren assassinates a government official in his limousine. Not to mention that the second "chapter" of the movie is entitled The Blood Splattered Bride, a Shout-Out to a Lesbian Vampire film with the same name. In fact, she's splattered with blood for pretty much the majority of the movie. She sure as hell ain't innocent for most of it, though.

comment
Mighty Whitey: The elderly Chinese kung fu master Pai Mei hates skinny people, blondes, white people, women, Japanese people, and Americans. Therefore, his greatest pupil is a skinny, blond, white American woman who speaks Japanese. Then again, he put her through Hell. She earned that training. Elle Driver — also a skinny, white, American blonde woman - notably gets her eye ripped out of her head for mouthing off to Pai Mei.
