In chapter 2, at the chapel of "El Paso", the groom didn't wear a morning coat, although in "Kill Bill 2" he did. It's supposed to be the same moment in time. [In "Kill Bill vol. 2", there is a period of about thirty seconds before the attack where we cannot see inside the church, only the outside. It is quite possible he removed the coat during this period.]
When the Bride is looking at Hattori Hanzo's various swords in his loft, she reaches for one in a reddish brown scabbard. Hanzo tells her to reach for a different one. When the whole display of swords is shown, there is no reddish brown scabbard on any of the swords. [Yes, there is - the mistake, as noted elsewhere, is that the sword has moved to a lower position on the stand, but it is still there.]

At the beginning of the movie it states that "revenge is a dish that is best served cold." Best known as a Klingon proverb from "Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan," this is actualy an old Sicillian proverb. [It's not best known from Star Trek 2, it's best known as an old proverb. People were saying the phrase commonly years before Star Trek 2 was released.]
The second time Gogo hits the Bride with the metal ball on the chain she falls backwards over a table and lands on her back. There is a shot of the Bride's face and there is a considerable amount of blood in her mouth all over her teeth. However, seconds later the blood is gone and remains gone throughout the rest of that scene. [It is possible she closed her lips and swallowed the blood.]
When O-ren chops off Boss Tanaka's head it lands in front of one of the other bosses. The head is shown close up but there is no blood coming out of it. A severed head would have blood running out of it. [The blood in this movie is fictional and maintains that way throughout the entire film. It would only be a factual error if the blood in this film was meant to be realistic. If it is a factual error you could argue that blood spraying out of limbs is an error as well.]
The Bride prominently displays her katana on the Air-O flight to Tokyo. The sword is never seen when the Bride rides to the House of Blue Leaves, nor is it on her person up to, and including the scene where she encounters Sophie in the ladies' room. The first time it appears is when the Bride hacks off Sophie's arm. [The Bride's sword is shown at least twice after leaving the plane and before arriving at the restaurant: she's shown carrying it through the airport; and it's shown strapped to the right side of her motorcycle, after she and Sophie have stopped at the red light and then the Bride takes off before the green light. Hard to see since it's horizontal, not vertical, like the Crazy 88 guys' swords.]
In the House of Blue Leaves when O-Ren senses something amiss, she hurls a dart through the paper door. After GoGo goes outside to investigate, she goes back into the room and closes the door, but the dart hole is gone. [O-Ren hurls the dart through a paper window to the right of the door (the door is a much darker color), and we do not see the window when GoGo exits or returns to the room.]
With the amount of blood loss she sustained, there is no way for Sophie to have any colour in her face when she was told by the Bride to stay where she was; Sophie's face would have been extremely pale in colour, to say the least. [That is a very vaild point; however, if Sophie was wearing any makeup, the makeup would not loose its colour when she bleeds, hence the colour still being on Sophie's face.]
When the lyrics start for the "Whoo-hoo" song in the restaurant, not one of the band members are moving their mouths. [This mistake has already been corrected. It is an editorial trick, by having the audio of one scene or shot overlap the previous scene/shot. NOT a mistake, a style choice by the editor.]
Something is seriously wrong with Vernita Green's daughter's age. Nikki would have to be younger than BB (Beatrix's daughter) if you consider that Vernita probably got pregnant after trying to kill Beatrix. This would but BB at least 9 months to a year older than Nikki. Now, if BB is 4, then is Nikki 2 or 3 and going to school? Not to mention that she was played by an actress who was 7 or 8 at the time, Nikki's age was handled incorrectly either way. [The film states when Beatrix arrives in Tokyo, that it has been one year since she came out of the coma. Since Beatrix kills O-ren before Vernita, she kills Vernita over a year after being out of the coma. So it is assumed that Vernita gave birth one to two years after the beating. And so, BB is older than four when she finally meets her.]
When the 5678's start to play "woohoo" the lead singer doesn't move her lips when the opening "woohoo" line is sung and the guitar player and drummer are not in position to play. we see a quick cut and the band is jamming. [This was intentional, and is used in movies all the time. You hear an upcoming scene overlapping, and then a cut brings us to it. It's done for effect.]
During the fight with the Crazy 88, there is one shot where the Bride stabs one guy, then uses him as a shield. When she first stabs him, there is no blood at his teeth. Then in the next shot, his mouth has filled up with blood. Blood doesn't travel that quickly. [Actually it does. The human heart pumps blood throughout your body at an average rate of 70 beats per minute when you are at rest. In one day, your blood travels nearly 12,000 miles (thats 22cm per second). With all the action going, on his heart would be pumping at more than 120 beats per minute which obviously makes his heart pump blood faster. This fact easily accounts for how the blood reached his mouth so "quickly".]
When Vernita Green and The Bride are in the kitchen, Vernita Green says the line "Very funny, b*tch". The shot then changes to The Bride, who is holding a coffee mug given to her earlier in the scene. But when Vernita yells "VERY FUNNY" and shoots at The Bride, the coffee mug changes from The Bride resting the handle on her fingers to her holding the cup. [She could have changed her position between shots. No mistake there.]
During the fight scenes with the crazy 88's, there's a lot of stopping and starting. When the action starts again, watch some of the 88's in the background, they just sort of make pretend martial arts moves at nobody in particular. Obviously most people don't notice, since they're watching The Bride, but once you notice it, it's really amusing to see. [It is debatable that this was on purpose, to mock similar "lame" fights from old kung-fu movies. Also, maybe the Crazy-88's are just doing it for honor. They don't all try to swarm over her, they fight her in small groups, so maybe the people in the background are just taking stances.]
The names of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are not only the names of snakes, they are also the names of enemies of Captain America. [While it is true that Copperhead, Cottonmouth and, I believe, Black Mamba were names of Captain America's enemies, I don't recall a California Mountain Snake as being the name of an enemy.]
When The Bride is shot in the head at the beginning, while on the floor facing up, the blood sprays onto the floor to the right where she's lying but nothing can be seen coming from the side of her head where she was shot. Also The Bride is facing up at Bill; thus, the gun should be in the same general direction; therefore the entry point should be easily seen. [You never see the gun and Uma's face in the same shot, so it is impossible to tell where the shot came from.]
When The Bride kicks her mug at Vernita, it is obvious that the kick she does is a drop kick and that the cup would go almost straight up, but in the next shot it is seen traveling in a straight line towards Vernita. [Actually, the move is possible. It's all a matter of timing and hitting the object (In this case, a mug) at the correct angle.]
As the Yakuza motorcade drives to the restaurant, there is a neon-lit, circular structure to the right of the vehicle. Approximately two shots later, we see the body guard who is dressed like a school girl driving the car; and the same structure is seen, in the background, behind her, which is to the left of the car. [The structure (Actually a ferris-wheel) is seen more than once, because the camera is positioned at different angles. We see it coming in one shot, and going by in another.]
In the Anime Scene, we see O-Ren Ishii under the bed lying on her back. When she hears her mother being killed, a tear comes out of her eye, the tear however, goes down her face normally as if she were standing up not down the side of her face as it should have. [The tear actually curves down her face, as if she is laying down.]
