Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic masterpiece, “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair,” is set to hit theaters on December 5. This much-anticipated release brings together the two installments of the “Kill Bill” saga, previously separated. The film will be screened in an uncut and unrated version, providing fans with the ultimate Tarantino experience.
What’s New in Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
This release introduces several exciting elements. Alongside the original footage, moviegoers will witness a brand-new animated sequence. While the animation is not entirely new, it is a welcomed addition for fans. Tarantino has previously showcased this extended cut at his theaters in Los Angeles, including the New Beverly and the Vista Theater.
A Lengthy Experience
The combined version is reported to run over four hours, making it Tarantino’s longest film to date. This extended runtime offers audiences a deeper exploration of the narrative.
Colorful Action
Another significant change to this version is the removal of the black-and-white motif during the Crazy 88s fight scene. Audiences will now see vibrant colors as The Bride, played by Uma Thurman, unleashes her fury on her foes.
A Tale of Revenge
“Kill Bill” follows Beatrix Kiddo, also known as The Bride or Black Mamba. Once a member of the Deadly Vipers Assassination Squad, she survives an attack by her former boss, Bill, portrayed by David Carradine, during her wedding day. After waking from a prolonged coma, The Bride embarks on a relentless revenge mission against her former comrades and Bill.
References in Pop Culture
The trailer teases a playful reference to the film, featuring the iconic “Pussy Wagon” from the original movies. However, it appears in the popular video game Fortnite, a nod likely aimed at younger audiences. In this version, the censoring of the word “Pussy” is creatively substituted with a drawing of Meowscles, changing the license plate to read “MEO WGN.”
