The Bride must kill her ex-boss and lover Bill who betrayed her at her wedding rehearsal, shot her in the head and took away her unborn daughter. But first, she must make the other four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad suffer.
A young woman is shot and left for dead at her wedding. Her entire wedding party is massacred in cold blood. After four years in a coma she awakes and systematically sets out to wreak revenge on the people responsible, especially their leader, Bill. — grantss After the release of Quentin Tarantino 's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) , a combined, single-film edit of the two movies premiered at the Cannes Film Festival--the Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Even though the movie uses identical portions of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, this integral version omits cliffhangers and introduces alternate angles and additional anime footage. As a result, it alters the tone and experience of the original theatrical cuts. After all, the director intended to release the film as one part--a complete, unrated, epic version of Kill Bill. — Nick Riganas

Fun Facts
Tarantino still swears he has only nine features to his name; the 2003 split made Kill Bill count as one in his head. The 2025 wide release of TWBA retroactively lets him keep that self-imposed 10-film retirement rule intact.
The artwork on Vivica A. Fox’s walls was supplied by Pam Grier’s brother, visual artist Rodney Grier—an inside nod from Tarantino to his Jackie Brown leading lady.
Instead of a static “Intermission” title, the 2025 print flashes a mock kung-fu trailer for a fictional 1977 Shaw Brothers film called Five Graves of the White Lotus—directed by “Chia-Hui Lui” (a reversed nod to Gordon Liu).
Even after you add the 7½-minute anime extension and the Fortnite short, the new cut is 281 min—roughly 10–11 minutes longer than the 2006 Cannes print. Tarantino refuses to say what’s in there; hard-core fans are already planning frame-by-frame comparisons when the Blu-ray drops.
