Quotes

O-Ren Ishii: As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, but always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've chosen is the wisest, tell me so. But allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is: I collect your fucking head. [Holds up Boss Tanaka's head] Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME! [Silence] I didn't think so.

Mistakes

When Vernita and The Bride are talking in the kitchen and Vernita shoots The Bride from the cereal box, you can see the bullet hole in the back wall of the kitchen, but then a little later that part of the wall doesn't have any bullet holes. Also, not only is the bullet hole not where you see it hit in the first place, it's on the other side of the bride's head, along with the splatter from the cereal box. See more...

The church scene was shot in the Mojave Desert outside of Lancaster, CA. Keep an eye out during this scene for a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson (Jules in Pulp Fiction, another Tarantino movie) as a dead organ player and actor/director Bo Svenson as the preacher.

It seems all the Tarantino films have some sort of "trunk-view" camera shot. Reservoir Dogs has Mr. White showing off his nabbed police officer who he kept in the trunk. Jules and Vincent get their guns from the trunk and discuss "we should have shotguns" during the trunk-view. Samuel L. Jackson makes a guy get in the trunk, shoots him, and later shows the body in the trunk to Robert DeNiro. The Bride in Kill Bill explains to Sophie the reasons she has left her alive all during an inside-the-trunk view. I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Since this movie is supposed to be a tribute to old kung-fu movies, spaghetti westerns and other B-movies, many of the mistakes may be intentional to add to the "low budget movie" feel.

In a scene at House of Blue Leaves that includes O-Ren and Sophie, one of the gang is on his back telling a risque story that is not translated. What he says is exactly what he is miming.

The Kill Bill series was originally supposed to come out in theaters as one movie. But it was too long, so the directors decided to cut the film in half and make a "two-parter".

The character Gogo was originally written as two characters: the twin Yubari sisters, Gogo and Yuki. Gogo had almost no lines and after her death at the hands of The Bride, Yuki would seek her out, only to be killed as well, in the "lost" chapter "Yuki's Revenge". All of Gogo's dialogue would have been spoken by Yuki. Tarantino references this lost character/scene in the first chapter of the movie; when The Bride is standing outside of Vernita Green's house, you can faintly hear an ice cream truck jingle. This was originally supposed to be Yuki, who stalked The Bride in an ice cream truck.

When the Bride calls out for O-Ren at the House of Blue Leaves Restaurant after encountering Sophie, she yells O-Ren's name out, followed by the phrase explaining that they had unfinished business. This was all in Japanese, since there were subtitles present on screen at the time. However, traditionally when speaking someone's name in Japanese, the last name comes first. (i.e. Ishii O-Ren)

The radio station that the sheriff is listening to, while driving to the murder scene, is KTRN radio in Wichita Falls, Texas. This radio station was also used in the movie The Last Picture Show. However, that radio station doesn't exist anymore in Wichita Falls.

The vengeance music/siren shows up three times in this film: when the Bride shows up at Vernita's door, when the Bride is confronting O Ren, and when the Bride spots Sophie. Strangely, Sophie never injured the Bride during the massacre scene. This sound only shows up once in Volume 2, when the Bride spots Elle and Budd at his trailer.

You can hear the Wilhelm scream twice during the scenes in the restaurant. The first comes just after the Bride fights Johnny Mo after the screen turns black and white. The second comes when the Bride races up the banister (during the "Nobody But Me" song). She slices a guy, then shoves him and he rolls backwards down the stairs.

During filming, the actors would often provide a "Hello, Sally." take. This involved the actor finishing his or her take, turning to face the camera, and yelling "Hello, Sally.". Whether or not editor Sally Menke actually appreciates this has yet to be reported.

The "Man from Okinawa" is played by Sonny Chiba, a famous martial arts actor in many of the films that Quentin Tarantino used as inspiration for Kill Bill. In True Romance (written by Tarantino), a man loves kung fu movies and is going to see a Sonny Chiba triple feature for his birthday.

In the scene when O-Ren is walking with her gang into the restaurant (towards the end of the film), her obi (the belt of her kimono) was tied too loosely and too low as well. This may be because she is going to be a doing a fight scene later, but Japanese women do not tie their obi in that way.

You may have noticed that the Texas Ranger who is in charge of the 'wedding slaughter' also stars as a Texas Ranger of the same name in From Dusk Till Dawn, another film written by Tarantino. He dies in that film, suggesting that the films occupy the same "universe", and this film is set before From Dusk Till Dawn.

The original script featured the Bill character to be a master alchemist. The liquid in the syringe was pointed out to be a concoction created by Bill entitled "Goodbye Forever". These potions/elixirs were to be detailed by on-screen subtitles. The Bride would also use a mix called "The Undisputed Truth" to get information from Sofie Fatale.
