Trivia

Director Trademark: [Quentin Tarantino] [long take] After the Bride leaves O-Ren's door at the House of Blue Leaves (when Go-Go returns inside) we follow her down the stairs through the bar, past the kitchen, into the ladies room; we then go out of the ladies' room, back to the stairs and follow Sofie Fatale along the exact same path to the ladies' room, ending with the ring of her cellphone. All in a single take. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: No drug company makes an injectable medication that is red. When you inject a medication, be it inter-muscular [IM] or intravenous [IV], when you insert the needle before injecting, you must draw the plunger back a little bit looking for blood in the syringe and press the plunger down to remove air, as bubbles in the blood stream can give you much pain. (Intramuscular injections of B-12 are a light red, but this would not be used to murder someone.) However, Elle didn't need to be injecting a drug into the Bride's IV. Basically, *anything* injected into a vein that wasn't created for that purpose would kill somebody. Even some drugs that are safe to inject into tissues could kill a person intravenously if the dosage were changed. That red fluid could have been any number of liquids drawn up into a syringe - it didn't have to be a drug. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Bill: Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most...
[cocks pistol]
Bill: masochistic.
The Bride: Bill... it's your baby...
[BLAM!]
