Trivia:

Daryl Hannah (Elle Driver) owns the car - a 1980 Pontiac Trans-Am - her character drives in the film. However, she owns the one that was used for promotional shots because Michael Madsen (Budd) got the working Trans-Am before she got to it.

Goofs:

Continuity: Although we believe the many continuity errors to be either deliberate or, at least, left in as a matter of stylistic choice, you might be interested to know about some of them: - When the Bride is trying to escape from the grave, she damages her right hand, which bleeds. When she goes into the coffee shop, her hand is fine. - Bill wipes away some of the blood that's on his face - in the next shot it is gone completely. - Budd's boss scribbles a continuous line through the roster, but in the next shot the scribble is disjointed. - In final scene between the Bride and Bill, the Bride has shoulder length hair. The next morning, her hair is much longer. - During the final conversation between Bill and Bea the label on Bill's bottle keeps rotating between shots. - When Bill hands BB her sandwich, the cutting board is clear of the cut crusts. In the next shot, he cleans the cutting board clear of the crusts to continue making another sandwich. - When Budd kicks the Bride's sword away outside his trailer, it sticks into the side of the garbage can. When it cuts back the sword is on the ground. Cut again, the sword is back in the can. Then you hear Budd pick it up off the ground as he's talking to Elle. - When The Bride enters Bud's trailer her jacket is zipped up. After he shoots her and she's lying on the ground, it's open. - Before the Bride is put into the coffin, her legs are tied with a long piece of skin. In the coffin, they are tied with a belt. - When fighting in Budd's trailer, The Bride sticks Elle's head in his toilet. Later in the fight, you can see the toilet with lid closed and porn mags stacked on it which is quickly followed by a shot with the lid up again when Elle is thrashing around blind. - In final conversation between Bill and Bea at the patio table, the cork bottle top continually changes position between shots. - When Bea is getting ready to sit down on Bill's circular couch in his living room, the wide shot reveals her about to sit down with a red pillow behind her. In the following medium shot, the pillow has moved to her left. - Bill cuts three crusts off BB's sandwich. In the next shot all four crusts are cut off. - When Bea is underground punching a hole in the coffin, there are no knots visible to us on the first punch she gives, though after the first punch, 2 knots are appear. - When Mei Pei shoves the bowl with rice at the Bride, it stops at the edge of the table. In the next shot it is much closer to the middle of the table. - The Band-Aid Elle Driver is wearing on the middle finger of her right hand disappears and then reappears several times during the scene in Budd's trailer home. - When Elle is fighting the Bride, in the beginning, the Bride cuts Elle's face with a TV antenna. But later in the fight, when they both have samurai swords, the cuts not there. - When Bill poses as Arlene's father, he has his hand on the Bride's left shoulder. His hand subsequently disappears and reappears between shots. - In the final chapter where the Bride goes to Mexico for her final showdown with Bill, we see her driving in a convertible with a new, much shorter and blonder haircut. All of the subsequent events show her with the shorter blonder 'do, but then in the final scene (the next morning) where she is with BB in the hotel room, her hair is long and dirty blonde again. - When Budd is talking to Elle in his trailer he rests his right foot on the suitcase of money. In the next shot it's his left foot then back to the right foot again.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Bill: Do you find me sadistic? You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. At this moment, this is me at my most masochistic.
The Bride: Bill, it's your baby.

Movie Connections:

Featured in "The Charlie Rose Show: Quentin Tarantino 2003" (2003)

Soundtrack:

Invincible Pole Fighter

One of the best sequel of all time.

Kill Bill Volume 2 has to be in the sentence with Aliens, Terminator 2, Evil Dead, and The Godfather Part II. this has to be one of the greatest sequels of all time. Quentin Tarantino hits it out of the park with his great storytelling, especially his dialogue.

The movie begins with a flashback of the wedding rehearsal. This is the first time we see Bill, who was wonderfully played by Bill Carradine. In volume 1 we only saw actually never saw his face.

This just as Pulp Fiction is a movie full of homages, from spaghetti westerns to giallo films. I see this movie more as an spaghetti western more than anything else. First, the music which was full of Ennio Morricone, it felt like the Dollars Trilogy all over again.

Just like any Quentin Tarantino film this movie has great acting, great dialogue, and great storytelling. My favorite piece of dialogue was the "Superman" speech by Bill.

I rate this film 4/4.
