Genres: Action, Crime, Thriller

Please note: Bear in mind that this makes many deliberate references to martial arts films of the past, and as such is not supposed to be 100% true to life. Examples of "allowable" mistakes include the Bride taking her sword on the plane, and the fact that the blood levels are obviously ridiculous.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where The Bride is calling out O-Ren, Sofie Fatale has her arm on the building's beam. If you look at her arm, right where The Bride is about to cut, there is a visible seam in the sleeve.

Mistake Continuity: When Gogo gets hit by her metal ball, she falls and breaks a table, and a lot of splinters gather around her head. In the next angle, for only a couple of frames, there are fewer splinters.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": When the Crazy 88 crew is coming in to attack the bride they use one of the shots twice. It is the one that shows 1 guy jump over a banister and go to the left of the screen then another guy comes directly after him and heads directly towards the camera. It happens at 1:21:49 and 1:21:53.

Mistake Continuity: When the bride is holding a table, GoGo throws the mace ball at it. She then pulls the mace ball back through it. The table splits in two. The piece of table that falls at the bottom of the screen, the bride's right hand side, falls completely apart. The legs have broken away from the table top. In the next shot this piece of table is standing on end with the legs reattached.

Mistake Continuity: When Boss Tanaka breaks the bowl on the table, a piece of meatball rolls on the table. Later when the other Japanese guy throws a tissue on Tanaka the meatball is gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Hanzo hands over the sword to The Bride we can see all of her hair is hanging down on her back. When it cuts a huge lump of her fringe hangs in front of her.

Mistake Continuity: During the fight in the restaurant, the Bride is surrounded by a large group of Yakuza. In a shot from behind her, she is staring at the opponents in front of her over the edge of her horizontally held blade. One of the masked villains is swinging a chain in an arc. A moment later the shot cuts to an overhead and the guy with the chain has disappeared - everyone in front of the bride (as well as to the rear and sides) are holding swords.

Mistake Continuity: As Earl McGraw tells his Son Number One the massacre at Two Pines house of worship must have been "the work of a salty dog," he gingerly moves in for a closer look at the carnage. Even though the side shot maintains a close view on the upper half of the body, the posture of his movements indicates that he starts stepping forward with his right leg. Yet in the immediate next shot from behind, it is with his left leg that he makes his advance.

Mistake Continuity: On the flight to Tokyo from Okinawa The Bride has a particular hair style, then in the restaurant where the crazy 88 battle takes place she has a totally different and considerably longer hair style. These scenes take place on the same night, so her hair could not have grown out.

Mistake Continuity: During the restaurant fight scene to get O-Ren, the blood on The Bride's face (particularly her nose) keeps changing. This may be an homage to older martial arts films, but at one point towards the end it is in the same spots as it was in the beginning as well.

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride and Hanzo are talking about her Japanese right before he serves her food, there is a shot of her laughing where she place her left hand on her right arm. When it cuts both hands are on the table.

Mistake Continuity: When Hattori Hanzo gives The Bride her sword, his assistant is sitting behind him in a cross-legged position. But the directions the assistant is facing keep changing.

Mistake Continuity: The Bride's face gets beaten up with visible marks during the fight with O-Ren's last female fighter. But after the fight her face is back to how it looked before the fight.

Mistake Continuity: O-Ren shot the dart from where she was sitting in the private dining room at the restaurant. Since we see the dart travelling in a straight line past the kneeling Bride's face, the dart somehow manages to stop at eye level when Go-Go retrieves it.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Vernita Green dies in the kitchen, during a close up, we can see a bright light reflected off the sweat on her neck. This is a crew light, as all the other light in the room is natural, coming from the window facing the other way, so it couldn't be reflected.

Mistake Continuity: When the bride picks the Hatori Hanzo sword from the rack she begins to remove it from the scabbard. Her left hand is at the opening of the scabbard as she starts to pull out the sword. The shot from further away when she totally removes the sword her left hand has moved further down the scabbard, away from the opening.

Mistake Continuity: When O-Ren takes off her sandals to fight the bride she pushes her right sandal out from under her. It slides on top of the snow and does not push around a lot of snow. No snow collects around it. In the next shot when she takes off her left sandal, the right sandal now has a lot of snow that was pushed up around the side of the sandal and collected beside it. It is also sunk much deeper into the snow than in the previous shot.

Mistake Continuity: When O-Ren Ishi tells 'Charlie Brown' to get lost we see some blood stains on The Bride's face. The stains differ in the next few shots of her, then later when we get a close-up of her face the blood stains are the same as earlier.

Mistake Continuity: When Uma Thurman is standing in the kitchen talking to Nikki, the position of the strap of her knife holster rides up and down her thigh between shots.

Mistake Continuity: At the beginning of the fight between Oren and the Bride in the garden, Oren puts the sword up to eye level and starts to withdraw the blade from the scabbard. The shot switches to a view from behind her and we see the back of her head. The eye-level sword, however, is nowhere to be seen. When the shot switches back to Oren's face, the sword has reappeared.
