Corrected entry: When the police arrive at the church to find the bloody massacre of bodies, the cop reports that there are nine dead bodies, including that of the Bride. This comment is made prior to the discovery that the Bride is indeed alive, meaning that there are actually only 8 dead bodies. Later in the film, the Bride tells O-Ren Ishi that O-Ren's one mistake in the church that day was that she should have killed ten. But had O-Ren succeeded in killing the Bride, her death would have been only the ninth, as reported earlier by the cop before it was known that she was still alive.
Corrected entry: When Uma Thurman wakes up from the coma, she says "four years" like she knew how long she had been out. How could she have known how long she was in a coma without being told or seeing a calendar?
Correction: The Bride looks at her palm and calculates that she has added 4 years to her "life lines" via palm reading technique.
Corrected entry: When Sopie's arm is first cut off and we see her writhing on the ground, it is obvious in her tight dress that her arm is just simply at her side under her clothes.
Correction: This is an homage to B movies after all - a lot of effects like that were deliberately included.
Corrected entry: The hospital scene is impossible. All hospital workers, regardless of rank, work 12 hour maximum shifts. The guy that sold her to the trucker would have been off shift while she was in his car trying to "wiggle her toe." The movie states a 13 hour time frame in the car. Its impossible. At the end of the RN's shift, he would have been noticed dead. No way that 13 hours could happen without a major police investigation, which would include finding his vehicle in the parking garage. Plus, even in the scrubs she stole from him, she would not be able to wheel her way into the parking establishment without proper ID.
Correction: Maximum 12 hour shift? Tell that to residents who stay at work for two days straight. Add in that there is no reason he would have been noticed missing unless he was called and failed to respond. If he was something like a janitor or other non-essential staff, he could easily have been thought to have gone home early. No one would call the cops after such a short time.
Corrected entry: The Texas police talk about ten dead victims then The Bride spits at one of them and then there were nine. Wouldn't someone have checked properly to see that she was alive before the police arrived?
Correction: It's quite easy to mistake someone seriously injured for being dead without medical training or equipment.
Corrected entry: The second time Gogo hits the Bride with the metal ball on the chain she falls backwards over a table and lands on her back. There is a shot of the Bride's face and there is a considerable amount of blood in her mouth all over her teeth. However, seconds later the blood is gone and remains gone throughout the rest of that scene.
Correction: It is possible she closed her lips and swallowed the blood.
Corrected entry: When Beatrix wakes up from her coma, she takes the Pussy Wagon from the parking garage. The first place she goes for revenge is to Japan. Her next kill is Vernita back in America, and she still somehow is driving the Pussy Wagon.
Correction: Where is the mistake in this? She leaves the car at or near the airport. What's to say she can't do that?
Corrected entry: During the fight in the snow at the back of the club, the snow doesn't fall fast enough to cover the tracks of the fight taking place between the two women.
Correction: That's because the snow is not real, nor is it outside. It is a traditional Japanese Snow Room, common in larger restaurants, clubs and tea houses in Japan. It is all fake.
Corrected entry: If you notice when Lucy Liu chop off the Tanaka guys head, she never comes close enough, and she's standing too high to get the horizontal cut. (01:02:50)
Correction: When cutting horizontally in Japanese martial arts, it is common to kneel down a few inches to get level with your opponent (so they will not expect the attack,) then draw your sword, and then come back up to get a look at the damage (all this is done very quickly)...so she could get a straight cut, quick enough not to be caught by the naked eye.
Corrected entry: Even though it was a deliberate choice not to reveal the name of 'The Bride' in the first portion of the film (Volume 1), when "The Bride" purchases a plane ticket to Okinawa her actual name is printed on the ticket.
Correction: However, as we see from the flashbacks, the Bride (obviously) had ties to the criminal underground/this particular underground organization. How do we know this really is *her* name?
Corrected entry: Uma looks remarkably well for someone who has been in a coma for 4 years. No wasting of muscles, no pressure sores, no incopad (to catch the faeces from those ever running bowels) no bladder catheter (as mentioned by someone else as mistake) and a full recovery (after waking up) within 13 hours, of which the first few minutes were already enough to give her full use of upper limbs. How she was fed also remains a mystery, because normally that is done by intravenous access (but she hasn't got a line in) or via a tube (known as nasogastric tube) which enters the nose and ends up in the stomach.
Correction: Buck took out her incopad, the bladder catheter and her nasogastric tube because that would not be very attractive to the men who paid to "see" her. He obviously took them out and put them back in between every customer. As for the muscles working when they should not even be there and her getting back on her feet in such a short time, this was deliberate as the jumping around in the House of Blue Leaves sequence.
Corrected entry: Why was the Bride able to move her arms? It is understandable that her legs couldn't move after having been in coma for four years, but why could her arms move so easily then?
Correction: Muscle atrophy (or entropy) is not uniform, meaning it does not effect the entire body at the same rate. Bride's legs could medically have been that atrophied but her arms could have only had very slight or no atrophy.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Uma Thurman is in the back of Buck's truck, she is trying to wiggle her big toe. She does this because, as she says, "entropy" in her legs. Entropy is a physics term regarding energy. Atrophy is the correct term regarding the wasting away of muscle due to lack of use.
Correction: The script uses the word "entropy" on purpose. Entropy has several meanings, including "A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message", "The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity", and "Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society". All relevant to legs not working.
Correction: The Bride is considering her baby 9; the cop wasn't. By the Bride's reckoning, her own death would have been 10.
