Corrected entry: In the House of Blue Leaves when O-Ren senses something amiss, she hurls a dart through the paper door. After GoGo goes outside to investigate, she goes back into the room and closes the door, but the dart hole is gone.
Corrected entry: With the amount of blood loss she sustained, there is no way for Sophie to have any colour in her face when she was told by the Bride to stay where she was; Sophie's face would have been extremely pale in colour, to say the least.
Correction: That is a very vaild point; however, if Sophie was wearing any makeup, the makeup would not lose its colour when she bleeds, hence the colour still being on Sophie's face.
Corrected entry: When the lyrics start for the "Whoo-hoo" song in the restaurant, not one of the band members are moving their mouths.
Correction: This mistake has already been corrected. It is an editorial trick, by having the audio of one scene or shot overlap the previous scene/shot. NOT a mistake, a style choice by the editor.
Corrected entry: Something is seriously wrong with Vernita Green's daughter's age. Nikki would have to be younger than BB (Beatrix's daughter) if you consider that Vernita probably got pregnant after trying to kill Beatrix. This would but BB at least 9 months to a year older than Nikki. Now, if BB is 4, then is Nikki 2 or 3 and going to school? Not to mention that she was played by an actress who was 7 or 8 at the time, Nikki's age was handled incorrectly either way.
Correction: The film states when Beatrix arrives in Tokyo, that it has been one year since she came out of the coma. Since Beatrix kills O-ren before Vernita, she kills Vernita over a year after being out of the coma. So it is assumed that Vernita gave birth one to two years after the beating. And so, BB is older than four when she finally meets her.
Corrected entry: When the 5678's start to play "woohoo" the lead singer doesn't move her lips when the opening "woohoo" line is sung and the guitar player and drummer are not in position to play. we see a quick cut and the band is jamming.
Correction: This was intentional, and is used in movies all the time. You hear an upcoming scene overlapping, and then a cut brings us to it. It's done for effect.
Corrected entry: During the fight with the Crazy 88, there is one shot where the Bride stabs one guy, then uses him as a shield. When she first stabs him, there is no blood at his teeth. Then in the next shot, his mouth has filled up with blood. Blood doesn't travel that quickly.
Correction: Actually it does. The human heart pumps blood throughout your body at an average rate of 70 beats per minute when you are at rest. In one day, your blood travels nearly 12,000 miles (thats 22cm per second). With all the action going, on his heart would be pumping at more than 120 beats per minute which obviously makes his heart pump blood faster. This fact easily accounts for how the blood reached his mouth so "quickly".
Corrected entry: When Vernita Green and The Bride are in the kitchen, Vernita Green says the line "Very funny, b*tch". The shot then changes to The Bride, who is holding a coffee mug given to her earlier in the scene. But when Vernita yells "VERY FUNNY" and shoots at The Bride, the coffee mug changes from The Bride resting the handle on her fingers to her holding the cup.
Correction: She could have changed her position between shots. No mistake there.
Corrected entry: During the fight scenes with the crazy 88's, there's a lot of stopping and starting. When the action starts again, watch some of the 88's in the background, they just sort of make pretend martial arts moves at nobody in particular. Obviously most people don't notice, since they're watching The Bride, but once you notice it, it's really amusing to see.
Correction: It is debatable that this was on purpose, to mock similar "lame" fights from old kung-fu movies. Also, maybe the Crazy-88's are just doing it for honor. They don't all try to swarm over her, they fight her in small groups, so maybe the people in the background are just taking stances.
Corrected entry: The names of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are not only the names of snakes, they are also the names of enemies of Captain America.
Correction: While it is true that Copperhead, Cottonmouth and, I believe, Black Mamba were names of Captain America's enemies, I don't recall a California Mountain Snake as being the name of an enemy.
Corrected entry: When The Bride is shot in the head at the beginning, while on the floor facing up, the blood sprays onto the floor to the right where she's lying but nothing can be seen coming from the side of her head where she was shot. Also The Bride is facing up at Bill; thus, the gun should be in the same general direction; therefore the entry point should be easily seen.
Correction: You never see the gun and Uma's face in the same shot, so it is impossible to tell where the shot came from.
Corrected entry: As the Yakuza motorcade drives to the restaurant, there is a neon-lit, circular structure to the right of the vehicle. Approximately two shots later, we see the body guard who is dressed like a school girl driving the car; and the same structure is seen, in the background, behind her, which is to the left of the car. (01:02:30)
Correction: The structure (Actually a ferris-wheel) is seen more than once, because the camera is positioned at different angles. We see it coming in one shot, and going by in another.
Corrected entry: In the Anime Scene, we see O-Ren Ishii under the bed lying on her back. When she hears her mother being killed, a tear comes out of her eye, the tear however, goes down her face normally as if she were standing up not down the side of her face as it should have.
Correction: The tear actually curves down her face, as if she is laying down.
Corrected entry: The position of the dead Buck's legs keeps changing between shots.
Correction: When he is killed, we see his body violently shake (likely from the nerves burning out as he dies). It is possible the movement of his legs is a result of continued "twitching" of his corpse.
Corrected entry: Before "The Bride" fights the white female samurai, she has to fight against other samurais. She pulls her sword and with a swing cuts three samurais' stomach. It is surprising that only the third one has a scratch on his stomach and the others don't.
Correction: There are the appropriate slashes on all the bodies.
Corrected entry: When Vernita and the Bride are talking in Vernita's kitchen, the mug the Bride is holding changes color and the Bride holds it differently. We see the Bride go to the wall and lean against it holding a red mug by the handle. The picture moves to Vernita talking and when it moves back to the Bride, she is drinking from a black mug with her fingers around the mug through the handle. (00:13:00)
Correction: The cup is actually dark brown in color. When it's seen "in the light" it appears red. When it is seen "in shadow", it appears black.
Corrected entry: In the scene with O-Ren in the Snow Garden, she is barely sitting up when she says "attack me." In the next shot, she is already on her feet in a fighting stance which was achieved impossibly quickly.
Correction: The Bride sits up, and then the camera cuts to O-Ren's face for a few seconds, THEN we cut back to the Bride who raises her sword and says "Attack me..." The bride could have easily gotten up while the camera was on O-Ren's face.
Corrected entry: The Bride's muscles, not only her upper body but her legs, are obviously in unbelievably good condition after four years in a coma. What she is doing during her 13 hours in the back of the truck is not growing new muscle tissue, but retraining the nerves which control her legs. The nerves had, presumably, been shocked but not destroyed by her head trauma. (For normal humans, this process should take a matter of weeks.) (00:29:25 - 00:44:15)
Correction: I don't see how this is a mistake. Medical miracles happen every so often and this may be one of them. Its unusual, but not impossible. Also, considering the intense training she went through, with Pae-Mae for example, she probably has incredible mental focus even four years after the fact.
Corrected entry: In the fight scene between Vernita and the Bride, Vernita says she has a family now and has changed. The Bride says that nothing Vernita has done within the last four years, including "getting knocked up" can make up for what was done. If Vernita got pregnant the same day she helped kill the Bride then the child would only be a little over three years old. The character and actress in the film are closer to six years old due to her physical size and maturity and the fact that she got off a school bus.
Correction: This explanation works when you're talking about exact times. Some people say "four years ago" when actually the time is four years and five months ago. Besides, the Bride wakes up in the hospital four years after the beating and goes directly to Japan, so we don't know how much time passed between the Bride killing O-ren and the attack on Vernita's house.
Corrected entry: In the Crazy 88 fight scene, The Bride and the Crazy 88 take the fighting inside the restaurant where O-Ren was originally eating, and that's when the silhouette scene comes in. Problem is, the floor in the silhouette scene and the floor of the restaurant don't match. The latter is traditional tatami, and we see this earlier in the movie, made of straw. In the silhouette scene, the floor is obviously not the same anymore - we hear the shoes hitting hard wood, or marble, and light reflects it, too.
Correction: The silhouette scene does not take place in the same room as the O-ren party scene. From what you can see before the lights go out, the floor looks more like a hard, waxed, wood floor.
Corrected entry: In Vernita's kitchen, the box of Kaboom cereal is not only a foreshadowing of the ensuing action but a Tarantino in-joke. This made-up product also appeared in Pulp Fiction. (00:12:55)
Correction: Kaboom Cereal is not a made up product (check out www.emptybowl.com). Also, it never makes an appearance in Pulp Fiction.
Correction: O-Ren hurls the dart through a paper window to the right of the door (the door is a much darker color), and we do not see the window when GoGo exits or returns to the room.
