Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Opens Wide as Four-and-a-Half-Hour Cut

Critics call this the director’s intended version, spotlighting Uma Thurman’s performance.

Overview

  • The single feature reaches more than 1,000 North American screens in its first official commercial release after earlier limited showings at Cannes and Tarantino’s Los Angeles theaters.
  • This edition unifies Volumes One and Two with a 15-minute intermission and restores material general audiences have not previously seen.
  • Key expansions include a lengthened animated backstory for O-Ren Ishii and a fuller House of Blue Leaves sequence presented in color with additional violence.
  • The reordering removes an earlier cliffhanger so a pivotal revelation arrives later for viewers in step with the protagonist.
  • An after-credits, non-canonical animated short made for Fortnite is included, while a notable Volume Two DVD deleted scene featuring Bill remains excluded.
