Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo) was shooting the scene where she flings her ball and chain out, she accidentally hit Quentin Tarantino on the head as he stood by the camera.
- GoofsWhen Tthe Bride fights the Crazy 88s, she unmasks a young kid who gives up. She then throws him into several others who land into a pool of bloody water. After the scene where she fights with the lights off, she narrowly avoids killing the same kid. He is fully dry, and his white dress shirt is stain free. She then chops his sword into pieces, he gives up and she spanks him.
- Quotes
Hattori Hanzo: Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, And like a forest it's easy to lose your way... To get lost... To forget where you came in.
- Crazy creditsShin'ichi Chiba (Hattori Hanzo) is listed as the samurai sword advisor. He played a maker of samurai swords in the film.
- Alternate versionsMany changes were made to the movie to minimize the violent and adult content when it was broadcast on TBS. One of the most interesting: The "Pussy Wagon" was changed to a "Party Wagon".

Featured review
Tarantino made an amazing Collage with this movie. ⭐
I can't explain why you like this movie so much. I don't know how rare this feeling comes to me. Actually this happens only for this movie. I don't know how can I explain why I like this movie so much. I don't like that much Samurai movies, I don't like that much Gangster movies. I don't know how this movie effected me this much. Is it revenge? No it doesn't have the greatest Screenplay.
I really don't know why. If someone would say "This movie is so nonsense, they're in modern times, so why are they fighting with Katanas? At least for not dying they could use guns." I would agree and can't argue.
Tarantino made an amazing Collage with this movie. But the things is I wasn't familiar with those, at least not one by one. So that's also does'nt explains completely why I like this movie so much.
So it could be the technical aspects. Right?
Yes it could be but I don't know any other movie that I rated 10 without amazing storyline.
Revolutionary acting scenes could be the reason.
Or maybe just the brilliant chosen Scores carries the movie?
I don't know there are so many things that could be the reason. I think all of them effects the movie positively. It has simple but effective screenplay that based on revenge. It has great action scenes, great technical aspects, great scores. Most importantly it is the Collage of so many things. It's the only movie that brings you the taste of Western with Samurai movies and so many more. Still I can't say why I like this movie in one sentence but I think the biggest reason is the great Collage.
