Directed by Quentin Tarantino, starring Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Julie Dreyfus, Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Vivica A. Fox (add more)

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 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 Other: In anime scene after the two men empty their clips onto the back of Matsumoto.From under the bed, O-Ren shoots the leg of the guy wearing brown, then blasts his head. Then she fires a third shot that hits a brown leg, but the guy wearing blue falls instead.

Mistake Continuity: When Vernita Green and the Bride are talking to Nikki, Vernita has no blood on her right breast, but when they are talking in the kitchen, there is suddenly blood.

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride is wheeling along in the wheelchair out from the elvator, as she passes the corner into the parking lot, you can see a black car, a white car, a green car and a big red jeep parked in a row. Then when she passes the cars, the red jeep is gone.

Mistake Continuity: During the fight at Venita's house, she overturns a large shelving unit onto the Bride. A shot from the floor (behind the Bride's head) shows nothing on the floor to the right. As the shelving begins to fall, a basket of magazines suddenly appears and the left edge of the unit is seen falling to the outside of the basket. A moment later Venita bolts for the kitchen and the shot cuts back to the Bride. The basket is now outside the edge of the unit (and some of the shelves themselves have disappeared as well).

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride rubs off the name "Bill" written on the window condensation, the writing style is different to when it was first written by the sword maker.

Mistake Other: The Japanese phrase the chef tells the bride when handing her the food is used after a meal, not before the meal.

Mistake Revealing: When the Bride takes a slash at Buck's heel, you can plainly see that there is a fake heel there. She definitely cuts through the sock, so it's not the sock pattern, and there is no blood.

Mistake Continuity: When Black Mamba goes into the house in Pasadena, California, to the bottom left of the slide is a ball which is not there when she leaves.

Mistake Continuity: When O-Ren's young bodyguard has the mace, she hits the Bride smack in the chest more than once with the very heavy, spiked ball. But later, there is not a trace of a welt, bruise, or cut on the Bride's chest (plenty of blood on her half-zipped jacket but her skin is just fine.)

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride cuts Sophie's arm off you see her get covered with blood. In the next shot, however, there is considerably less blood on her top and it is in a different pattern.

Mistake Continuity: After Black Mamba leaves Vernita's house, she looks at the "Death List Five" notebook page and crosses off Vernita's name. The handwriting on this page (sloppy) differs greatly from that of the list written on the plane (neat) after killing O-Ren Ishii, which is supposed to be the original list. Even if she re-wrote the list, the handwriting wouldn't have changed THAT much. It is a different person's handwriting and not just a difference between sanity and madness.

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride and Vernita Green are in the kitchen, Vernita mentions something like "I've got to fix my daughter's cereal." Notice when she says this, The Bride is holding her mug with the handle facing Vernita, when the shot changes, it is instantly facing The Bride - something which cannot be achieved this quickly.

Mistake Continuity: In the fight scene with Vernita Green when she and the Bride are staring each other down as the school bus pulls up Vernita is holding the knife horizontally with her index finger along the top. The angle of the scene changes and she is holding the knife in the opposite way. When the scene changes back her finger is along the top again.

Mistake Continuity: The Bride kills Vernita in the kitchen then pulls out the knife. When Vernita's daughter enters the kitchen there is a front shot of The Bride holding the knife behind her, hiding it from the child. The camera switches to a reverse angle and The Bride is holding the knife in front of her, in full view of the child.

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride is fighting the Crazy 88s, right after it changes from black/white screen to color again, they fight in a room where the light gets shut off. Now watch close, they wait. They fight. She hits a few members of the gang. Watch the gangster in the lower left corner of your screen. He's gone. He rolls away to the left. They start fighting again. Keep paying attention to the lower left corner. You see him roll away again a few seconds later.

Mistake Continuity: In the anime sequence after O-Ren Ishii has drawn the sword out of Boss Matsumoto, the blood is splashing out of him, and up on her face. But the amount of blood on her face keeps changing.

Mistake Revealing: During the restaurant fight scene, Thurman's fight double can be easily spotted from time to time as she is a few inches shorter and a little heavier than the star. It is especially noticable during the silhouette sequece.

Mistake Continuity: When The Bride and Vernita fight and during their kitchen chat, Vernita's zipper is in the black-band portion of her sweater. After the knife penetrates Vernita, the zipper is now higher up into the white-band portion of the sweater just above the knife.
