Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is a complete edit of the two part martial arts action films Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2. The film was originally scheduled to be released as one. However, due to the films over 4 hour running time, it was split into two parts. The full print was eventually shown at Cannes Film Festival. The plot revolves around The Bride (Uma Thurman) who attempts to find and murder the father to her daughter, Bill.

Plot

A woman in a wedding dress, the Bride (Uma Thurman), lies wounded in a church, having been attacked by the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. She tells their leader, Bill (David Carradine), that she is carrying his baby. He shoots her.

Four years later, the Bride goes to the home of Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), planning to kill her. Both women were members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, which has since disbanded; Vernita now leads a normal suburban family life. She tries to kill the Bride with a pistol hidden in a box of cereal, but the Bride throws a knife into her chest, killing her.

Years earlier, the Bride lies comatose in hospital following the attack in the church. Deadly Viper Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) prepares to assassinate her via lethal injection, but Bill aborts the mission at the last moment, considering it dishonorable to kill the Bride when she cannot defend herself.

The Bride awakens from her four-year coma and is horrified to find she is no longer pregnant. She kills a hospital worker who has been raping her while she was comatose, takes his truck, and teaches herself to walk again. Resolving to kill Bill and all four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, she picks her first target: O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), now the leader of the Tokyo Yakuza.

The Bride travels to Okinawa to obtain a sword from legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba), who has sworn never to forge a sword again. After learning that her target is his former student, Bill, he agrees to forge his finest sword for her.

The Bride tracks down O-Ren at a Tokyo restaurant and defeats her Yakuza army, including the elite Crazy 88 and O-Rens bodyguard, schoolgirl Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama). She duels with O-Ren in the restaurants Japanese garden and scalps her.
The Bride tortures O-Rens assistant and Bills protege Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) for information about Bill, but leaves her alive as a threat.
In a flashback, the pregnant Bride and her groom rehearse their wedding. Bill, the Brides former lover, father of her child, and leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, arrives unexpectedly. On Bills orders, the Deadly Vipers kill everyone at the wedding, but the Bride survives and swears revenge.
Four years later, the Bride has already assassinated the former Deadly Vipers Vernita Green and O-Ren Ishii. She goes to the trailer of Bills brother and former Deadly Viper Budd (Michael Madsen), planning to ambush him. Budd is expecting her and shoots her in the chest with a shotgun blast of rock salt, then sedates her. He calls Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), another former Deadly Viper, and arranges to sell her the Brides Hanzo sword for a million dollars. He seals the Bride inside a coffin and buries her alive.
Years earlier, Bill tells the young Bride of the legendary martial arts master Pai Mei (Gordon Liu) and his Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, a death blow that Mei refuses to teach his students; the technique will supposedly kill any opponent when he or she takes five steps. Bill takes the Bride to Meis temple to be trained by him. Mei ridicules her and makes her training a torment, but she gains his respect. In the present, the Bride uses Meis martial arts techniques to break out of the coffin and claw her way to the surface.
Elle arrives at Budds trailer and kills him with a black mamba hidden with the money for his sword. She calls Bill and tells him that the Bride has killed Budd, and that Elle has killed the Bride. She uses the Brides real name: Beatrix Kiddo. As Elle exits the trailer, Beatrix ambushes her and they fight. Elle, who was also taught by Pai Mei, reveals that she poisoned him in retribution for plucking out her eye. Beatrix plucks out Elles remaining eye and leaves her screaming in the trailer with the black mamba.
Beatrix tracks Bill to the Mexican countryside and discovers that their daughter B.B. (Perla Haney-Jardine) is alive and well, now aged four. She spends the evening with Bill and B.B. After Beatrix puts B.B. to bed, Bill shoots Beatrix with a dart containing truth serum and interrogates her.
Years earlier, Beatrix is on a mission to assassinate Lisa Wong. As she discovers she is pregnant with Bills child, she is confronted in her hotel room by Karen Kim, an assassin sent by Lisa Wong to kill Beatrix. When Karen learns Beatrix is pregnant, they agree to abort their missions and go home.
In the present, Beatrix tells Bill that she left him and the Deadly Vipers to give their child a better life. She disables Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, which Mei secretly taught her. Bill makes his peace with her, takes five steps and dies. Beatrix leaves with B.B. to start a new life.
Cast
Development
Tarantino announced at the 2008 Provincetown International Film Festival that a single film version of part 1 and 2 called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair with an extended animation sequence was to be released in May 2009. Screenings of the complete film began on March 27, 2011 at the New Beverly Cinema. This was verified to be the original print that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003, before the decision was made to split the film into two parts due to the roughly four-hour length. The print shown at the New Beverly even retained the French subtitles necessary for screening an English-language film at the Cannes festival.
Differences in this version in comparison to the separate Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 versions include the "old Klingon proverb" shown at the beginning of Vol. 1 is not present, although a dedication to filmmaker Kinji Fukasaku is in its place; the anime sequence is slightly longer with more gore; The House of Blue Leaves battle is in color (it had been toned down to black and white for the USA release of Vol. 1 only); Sofie Fatale loses both of her arms; the revelation that The Brides daughter is alive at the end of Vol. 1 is not present, nor is the short black and white scene at the beginning of Vol. 2 where The Bride is driving and sums up the action to that point; in its place is a small musical intermission that leads straight into Chapter 6.
