6 sourcesSynopsis
A former assassin, known simply as The Bride, wakes from a coma four years after her jealous ex-lover Bill attempts to murder her on her wedding day. Fueled by an insatiable desire for revenge, she vows to get even with every person who contributed to the loss of her unborn child, her entire wedding party, and four years of her life. After devising a hit list, The Bride sets off on her quest, enduring unspeakable injury and unscrupulous enemies.
Critics consensus
Merging both Kill Bill volumes together into a whole that's as seamless as a slice from a Hattori Hanzō sword, this Bloody Affair finally realizes the full grandeur of Quentin Tarantino's gonzo vision.
Audience consensus
A testament to unfinished business that demands to be seen, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is thrillingly over-the-top excess that is supremely essential, and a killer case for 75mm.
What resonated with audiences
'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' is a cinematic masterpiece showcasing Tarantino's finest directorial work, with Uma Thurman delivering a commanding performance and stunning action choreography throughout. The unified version presents his original vision beautifully, blending diverse genre influences into exceptional artistry.
