Next to these two adversaries volume 1 covers The Bride’s coma and subsequent wake, the muscle dystrophy and the quest for a special samurai sword, or Katana as they’re officially called. When we see The Bride walk to the residence of Vernita we already saw a piece of paper with O-Ren’s name crossed out. This is hardly a spoiler considering that this movie, like Pulp Fiction, isn’t shown in chronological order. The first volume focuses The Bride killing two of her adversaries: Vernita Green (Vivica A. The leader of this squad is named Bill, hence the title. The problem is that the people who tried to kill her are part of an assassination squad of which she also once was a part of. At one point she wakes up and decides to get revenge on the people who murdered her fiance, his family and supposedly also her unborn child.

But despite a shot to the head she turns out to be alive and ends up being in a coma for several years. A woman we only know as “The Bride” is left for dead after 5 individuals slaughtered her and everybody else in a wedding chapel. Kill Bill is on paper a simple revenge tale. So I’ve decided to review them both separately in one review a whole bloody affair review Too bad “The Whole Bloody Affair” never saw an official release, that would have made things much easier.

Kill Bill is in fact one movie split in to two parts for length and financial reasons, but the two parts vary so much in tone and style that they both deserve their own review. Before writing this review on Kill Bill I was stuck on the fact whether I should review both movies separately or as one movie.
