Kill Bill: Volume 1
Kill Bill: Volume 1 mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When the swordmaker writes "Bill" on the window, take a close look. The window has been wiped before (as happens at the end of the scene) and "re-steamed" - you can see the outlines of the wiping from earlier takes, with a clear contrast between that pane and the others. (00:52:45)

Jon Sandys

Revealing mistake: When 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. (01:11:10)

Revealing mistake: When Gogo is fighting the bride, misses and hits herself with the mace, as she falls backwards onto the table, you can see the stunt double's hairy legs. (01:16:10)

Revealing mistake: When the Bride is fighting the General of the Crazy 88's he slashes at her lower torso and scores a hit, but the slash on the Bride's jacket is already there before he strikes (it is not there in the previous scenes and when he slashes it makes the sound of him cutting the material). (01:23:10)

Joel Gordon

Revealing mistake: 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. (01:23:30)

Revealing mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: When The Bride is slashed on the upper back by O-Ren in their fight scene she collapses and lands on her back in the snow. After she gets up and the fight continues, there is no blood spot on the snow where she was lying. (01:29:55 - 01:31:10)

Vernita Green: I fucked you up. I fucked you up bad, I wish to God that I hadn't, but I did. Be that as it may, I know I don't deserve your mercy or forgiveness, however, I beseech you for both on behalf of my daughter.
The Bride: Bitch, you can stop right there. Just because I have no intention of killing you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean that parading her around in front of me is gonna inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business, and not a goddam fuckin thing you've done in the subsequent four years, including getting knocked up, is gonna change that.
