Summary
After surviving an assassination attempt that leaves her in a four-year coma, former assassin Beatrix Kiddo—known as the Bride—sets out to exact revenge on the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad and their leader, Bill, who betrayed her on her wedding day. Her quest takes her across the United States, Japan and Mexico as she confronts each member of her former team.
Fun Facts
Quentin Tarantino originally wrote 'Kill Bill' as a single film, but it was divided into two volumes because of its four-hour running time. ### Uma Thurman and Tarantino developed the character of the Bride together while making 'Pulp Fiction'. ### The films pay homage to Japanese samurai cinema, Hong Kong martial arts films, spaghetti westerns and exploitation movies, featuring music and visual references from dozens of classic genre films.
