Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Beatrix and Elle run at each other with the swords, go frame by frame. They are just running around each other, Beatrix runs closest to the wall while Elle runs closest to the bathroom. [The rules of the site are clear. Anything requiring frame-by-frame is NOT a valid mistake.] Corrected by MovieGuy

When Budd shoots Beatrix with rock salt, her chest is bloodily obliterated. But when she confronts Bill just a few days or weeks later, her exposed decolletage is perfect, unscathed and unblemished. In fact, despite the fact that the time frame allows little to no recovery time between battles, every time Beatrix kills off a new member of the Viper Assassination Squad, she shows no bruises or scars from the wounds she received previously. [We are never told how much time has passed between each member that she kills, so no mistake can be made, as she could have waited until her wounds healed before meeting the next person on the list. This seems to make sense, seeing as how entering a battle with fresh wounds would give your opponent a definite advantage over you.] Corrected by Jazetopher

In the scene where Elle Driver is leaving Budd's trailer, she kicks the door open with her foot, only to be met by the Bride's flying drop kick. After the Bride falls to the floor from the drop kick, you can still see that the door is open. Notice in the very next shot that the door is closed. Seeing that the door opened outward, and it had no door closer attached, how did it shut on it's own? [It is a very light-weight, screen door. The force of the kick would be more than enough to throw it open, swing out, hit the wall and swing back inwards again. It is not good for the door, but fully possible. I have done it myself with heavier doors than this.] Corrected by Twotall

Budd only told Elle the name of the grave that the bride was buried in. She wrote this down. How is it that when she tells Bill where to deliver flowers Elle has the name of the cemetery and the directions to the cemetery? [Because this happens in a very small country town; there is only one cemetary there. After Elle heard from Budd that the Bride had been defeated, she would know that's where Beatrix would be buried. All the additional information she needed from Budd was the name of the grave.] Corrected by Twotall

When Bill fires two shots at Bea when she tries to grab the sword off the TV, wouldn't her daughter have woken up from the loud noises? Or wouldn't the neighbors call the police? [First of all, a little girl would probably be so scared from hearing gun-blasts, she would be stiff as a rock, frozen with fear. Second, for all we know, Bill paid off the people who own the building (or any neightbors) to never call the police no matter what they hear. After all, that is the sort of thing he'd do.]

In the coffin, The Bride looks down to her feet and you can see a small camera disguised as a knot in the wood. It's used to take subsequent shots. [It IS a knot hole. No camera that would be even remotely useful to a film crew would have a lens that small. Besides, I'm sure the coffin was constructed so that the sides, top, etc. could be removed for filming, so why would they resort to this?]

Watch the clock behind Uma Thurman when she is talking to the assassin sent by Lisa Wong. The time says 2:52, then 2:53 in the next shot and then 2:54 in the next shot, although not a minute has passed. Then in the next shot it says 2:52 again. [Time code is 1:51:10 and, as far as I could tell the clock's numerals are too blurred throughout this sequence to tell what time it's showing. The blurring may have been deliberately done on the DVD to fix the mistake.]

In the scene with Elle in Budd's trailer, just after he dies and she finishes her monologue with him, she proceeds to the pile of money near the door and starts throwing bunches of it back into the red bag. Watch Budd's body. As soon as the first wad of cash hits the bag, Budd flinches noticeably. [Budd wasn't completely dead yet. The snake's venom kills within 20 minutes and only a few minutes passed since he got bitten. The snake's venom caused paralysis, causing his muscles not to move. His brain would still be alive and trying to move his body, causing some movement on the muscles that were not completely paralysed yet.]

Near the end of the film, where Bill is talking to Beatrix about Superman and alter egos (inside the house), he shoots her in the knee cap with a dart gun. Then, the next morning, when she's carrying B.B., she isn't limping and she shouldn't even be able to carry anything the weight of a small child. [The dart would not have damaged her leg enough to cause her to limp, nor did it contain anything that could prevent her from carrying her child or doing other work.]

When a man (not Budd) has finished burying Beatrix, he seems to drink a whole can of beer in just three small sips. [When the man is throwing the can, it's pretty clear the can still has liquid in it.]

In the scene where Uma gets shot in the church, the French woman that had her arm cut in Vol. 1 is not in the church, but she was in the church at this time in Vol. 1. [She obviously comes in later on. The church scene is NOT shown in full in Vol 2. We only get to see everyone getting shot (from the external view). We don't see the bride being beat-up by the gang (as shown in Vol 1.), during which Sofie could enter the church.]

The Bride discovers she's pregnant and disappears during a hit. Bill, thinking Beatrix is dead, mourns for 4 months, then discovers Beatrix in Two Pines, TX, getting married and WAY larger than a pregnant woman in the fourth month could ever be, unless she was carrying octuplets. [The Bride was probably about three months pregnant when she did the test. That would make her seven months gone when Bill caught up with her at Two Pines - she looks about right.] Corrected by STP

In the scene outside Bud's trailer Beatrix has been shot, in the next scene she emerges from the coffin without a mark on her. [She was shot with rock salt. Its only designed to hurt, not kill or mark.] Corrected by SexyIrishLeprechaun

Before the fight scene in the trailer between Elle and The Bride, Bud's body has gone. Elle was picking up her cash, not moving the body before The Bride arrived. [Bud's body has not gone; at one point in the fight one of the women even bounces off him. He may be out of some shots, but he is definitely there.] Corrected by STP

In the scene in the trailer with Elle, Budd and then The Bride, Elle has a shiny eye patch on which reflects the lighting boxes throughout the scene. [Or maybe just windows, which there are plenty of in Budd's trailer.]

Bill claims he's an avid Superman reader, yet a lot of what he says about the Man of Steel is twenty or more years out of date. Especially the part that Clark Kent is the 'fake' identity - the fact that it's the opposite is a major theme in modern stories. [But he was talking about the *original* Superman anyway; the original Superman that people from his generation would most remember, and was the most memorable setup.]

In the scene when Uma is doing the pregnancy test, she uses a Rolex watch, but the watch has a ticking second hand, whereas real Rolex watches have a swiping movement. [Fake Rolexes are often notable by a ticking second hand rather than a swiping movement. Maybe Uma wears a fake Rolex because she doesn't think it's worth getting a real one given all the punishment it would take.]

Bill shoots the Bride in her leg with a dart from behind the bar but it should be sticking out at a much shallower angle since it was fired only slightly downwards. [She was starting to get up when the shot was fired. If he hit her at the right time, the angle is correct.]

In Kill Bill 1 the Sheriff who investigated the Chapel says that the characters were shot assassination style. But, in Kill Bill 2 the massacre scene shows the victims being raked down by machine gun bullets. [Nowhere in the scene did the sheriff say anything about it being done assassination style. The Sheriff's son did say it was done "execution style", which is different.]

When Bea escapes from the buried coffin, she's seen wriggling out of her boots to free herself from her feet being tied up, leaving her only wearing socks. Later, she's seen totally barefoot walking across the desert. What happened to her socks? [The socks could have come off by themselves when she was ascending through all that dirt.]
