Bill didnt die by the sword. He literally died by Beatrix's hand. So much meta and detail throughout the entire duology its incredible. Thank you, Mr. Tarantino.
Kill Bill Volume two was so poor compared to part one, that I almost forgot it exists. Volume one can now definitely be considered a solid Cult Classic. Volume 2, was like edited deleted sections cobbled together with long drawn out dialogue in between - they stretched it out so bad. But I'm grateful for the exististence of Quentin Tarantino one of the most important filmakers of all time in my opinion....
It's not that Bill couldn't find a way around walking, he just needed to die for her and her child. They would have had a very tense relationship and she would never be able to forget or forgive him if he didn't die for what he did.
When I first saw this movie, I thought this ending sucked. Now, like 20 years later, I see a really thoughtful and powerful scene. Some of Tarantino's finest work here.
Uma’s face right before that final blow is perfection. The brief stare full of hatred comes out and then a powerful strike ensuring Bill’s death… followed by sorrow. So emotional and well done.
You can almost see some hesitance because the final blow is required, but she goes warrior mode and completes it. The look she gives right afterwards, as well. You can't quite tell if it was, "Did I do it correctly?" or "What have I done?" Fantastic films.
@@ultrameticulous I beg to differ lightly on the final blow part. I think she channeled all her strength and hatred towards Bill in that final blow. After that, its what you mentioned...
Many people were upset there wasn’t some long drawn out duel, but there was already more than enough of those scenes throughout the film. This was much more powerful. Pai Mei hated American women, but after all her painful training, he saw something in her and chose to show her the technique. He didn’t do that with Bill. Bill inadvertently brought about his own demise by introducing Beatrix and Pai Mei. And I still think Bill would’ve been hard to defeat, even at his age.
Pai Mei taught Beatrix the technique cos he understood she was worthy of himself. Why she didn't tell that to Bill is probably cos she knew it would crush him and make him feel inferior. Before the final scene we get to see the real Bill who is a ruthless warrior, but also a man living in the world of comic books and vintage samurai movies etc, who never really grew up and learned to truly take responsibility due to his criminal upbringing. He would shoot the love of his life in the head and in the process quite probably murder his own unborn child without blinking. When he's confronted about it he almos shrugs it off, saying "I overreacted." It's like she always knew, although they were lovers, that he could not take bad news.
@@dumbidea1007 Literally, this movie had the least amount of sword fighting than the first one. Brother shot her with a gun, she did kung fu with no sword from pai mei, etc.
Exactly. She knew he didn’t handle bad news well. That’s why she didn’t just break up with him openly and/or tell him she was pregnant. How would that have gone, anyway? Would he have wanted to raise the child together? Or would he go for sole custody? Or just take the kid out of the country without permission?
Beatrix's face after Bill asks her "Why didn't you tell me?" always stabs me in the heart. She looks so remorseful. Despite her overwhelming desire to kill him, she still loves him.
"She still loves him"? So why did she literally abandon him with their child wuithout uttering a single word just to fall in love with a random boy and marry him 3 months later? LMAO
What I really liked about this scene was that it wasn't just a "final showdown" type of scene we always see in movies, but provided emotions and a somewhat realistic situation involving two people that once loved each other.
Comment is over a decade old but you were the first to say exactly what I was thinking. Most revenge stories lack that duality. I’m trying to think of plots where the protagonist respected (even loved) the villain and… seems like a very overlooked plot point. Sephiroth comes to mind because we all respected him before he became an Armageddon machine but… by the end he was just another mindless threat to the planet… so idk that one is tough.
Yest the five points exploding heart technique is one the most realistic moves we have in the martial arts. Once performed by Donkey Kong on Bruce Lee in their Epic battle of Hong Kong.
@@hurmur9528 Did you see Sugar Shane Mosley get his peroneal nerve hit with just a toe and couldn’t stand after? I’m not saying an exploding palm technique is valid… I am saying that to shut down a top level athlete with the touch of a toe is pretty crazy. I also knew a Marine I was sparring with and he hit the nerve in my neck and I had to fight to keep my body together… I bounced back and kept fighting but pressure points are very real
If you really think about it, Bill knew from his conversation with Budd that Beatrix deserved her revenge. This scene is really touching in that he gives it to her. Not in some "Go ahead and kill me" kind of way; he still puts up a little fight because Beatrix deserves the honor of beating him, but after knowing what she's done just to get there it's like going easy on her. He knows he's a bad man. They're all bad, but he knows he's got this coming, if not from Beatrix than surely from someone else. He'd rather die by her hand as it's fulfilling both her desire for revenge as well as his desire to show his love and devotion to her by letting her be the one who kills him. It's really a tragic love story when you realize it. He "killed" her, and now she kills him. It's like an exchange of vows, but instead it's an exchange of blows.
Further shown by his shooting her with a truth serum, and not a gun. Even Budd loaded his boomstick with rocksalt instead of bullets... a perverse sense of honor, but they still have one.
Bill regretted what he did but knew he couldn't be forgiven. In their dangerous hyper real world there are lines you just don't cross and both of them crossed them. Sad thing is if they were honest with each other the tragedy would have been avoided
Their relationship is nuts. I love that she is hellbent on killing him but cries when she does. And kinda shows him respect at the end, which is crazy! Great writing.
Even after she kills O'rihin Beatrix is devastated. She sits on the bench and drops her sword, because she just killed someone that was her best friend.
Tarantino originally in his script wanted an epic battle similar to Beetrix vs Oren but they decided on this. Probably because he still wanted to show that there was this hint of love and reason for their grudge. She killed him but it's obvious that she still loved him, same with with Bill loving her.
What is insanely interesting after many years I've watched this. Someone and some youtubers talked about katana forging and noted that every katana while being forged the same way are in fact impossible to be identical to each other through finishing. Especially not one forged from the traditional way by a swordsmith. Meaning every scabbard are made for a specific blade it is meant for due to its finishing(some maybe thicker, wide, thin etc.) In this case either it was intentional or purely for cinema it still shows how cool in lore that Hattori Hanzo broke the blood oath to perfectly recreate an identical blade to Bill's sword meaning he made Beatrix blade specifically to kill Bill! Bill by extension is potentially going to die by his own blade whether Beatrix uses his or her sword. And how was this shown or proven? Beatrix was disarmed by Bill with her Katana shoved away and left with only a scabbard. She then uses the scabbard to sheathe Bill's katana showing that it is in fact identical. This level of meta is basically Voldemort and Harry Potter's wand sharing the same core. And also solidifying what an absolute god swordsmith Hattori Hanzo is to be able to make an identical sword traditionally.
I didn’t know that but it really adds to a scene already filled with so much, love, hate, revenge, regret. The five point palm trick was in itself a great tie in to their past together and what they shared. That they in fact shared even more, identical Hattori Hanzo katanas. That synchronicity , everything coming together, it’s brilliantly done.
You could add more symbolism. One sword was made to undo the damage the other did. But in the end, none of the two swords killed Bill. In some sense, the swords are wiser than Beatrix. During the movie, 3 characters regretted what they did to Beatrix: Vernitta Green, Budd and Bill. The latter two could have killed her but gave her a chance to reconcile. Green also didn't want to fight and Beatrix killed her more or less in front of her daughter. She even explained to her that she now has all the rights to go for Beatrix and revenge her mother. Basically Beatrix is on a rampage to kill a lot of people of who most of them had learned their lesson and became peaceful. O'Ren was neither but she had to kill about 80 other people just to get the one she actually wanted to kill. All of them had relatives, too, some of them might want to get revenge. In other words, Beatrix, while having good reasons for her revenge, was causing more harm and ensured the circle will never end (if there was ever a third part of Kill Bill it would be about Vernitta's daughter trying to kill Beatrix). The swords, however, knew better. Bill died while one was disarmed and the other sheathed away. They truly followed the japanese spirit and their creator' - Hanzo swore to craft no more tools of war because he did not want to be part of any further killing anymore. It's a perfect cycle for the swords, too.
I was surprised by the short fight.I hear a lot of people say they don't like 2 but I think it's great how quentin added emotion and great dialogue while still having amazing fight scenes.Thank you.I just love that scene.
I think Bill was planning to die from the beginning. He was drinking heavily, thus greatly decreasing his fighting skill, he remained in the chair when getting up and into a more open area would've allowed him a much better fighting chance, and he didn't even really try to block Kiddo's arm when she caught his sword in her scabbard even though he had a good 3 or 4 seconds to react.
i think the timing in that moment where she kills him has more to do with the editing, sure it looks a bit like he could've reacted much sooner, but the way it's cut is so that we as an audience can perceive that entire moment - much like how sometimes you will suffer some kind of violence that happens really quickly but there is that frozen moment inside your head as it is about to happen that feels much longer
@@shahan1465kung fu is an actual martial art, made more for weapon fighting than for bare handed technique. Although, there is a real life five point palm exploding heart technique, in which you break the rib cage in five different places, and strike the heart hard enough to burst. The realism is not the point of its existence. The reason it exists in the movie is because it’s really cool and a great plot and character detail.
First off, what a better ending. Though it's not long as a duel, it takes place without standing, and in the true kung fu fashion, sword duels don't last long. Usually only a few strikes. Did you notice that she didn't even need to unsheash her sword, and also she basically took back Bills power of using the hatori hanzo masterclass sword by sheathing it herself and then using the 5 point exploding palm technique. Not to mention the dialogue, Bill: "Why didn't you tell me?" Bea: "Cuz i'm a bad person" Bill: "No, your the best person, my favorite person. How do I look?" Bea: "You look ready." And like an honorable man walks to his death, so does Bill. Loved this movie so damn much. Shout out to Mac Miller's "Self Care" music video paying homage to the burial scene from this movie too.
3:28 I like to think that every bit of rage, resentment and need for vengeance that Beatrix had was in that last hit. All of it went away when the deed was done, but that doesn't mean she was full of regret. Instead, she was finally at peace and could move on.
@@ccshumshum8104 your comment that there is no such thing as “dignified death” makes sense to me. I always thought human dignity only last through human life. Without human life there is no human dignity. There is no dignity in taking human life; How could there be. I found this quote interesting: “The general concept of dignity is introduced and characterized as a position on a value scale and it is further specified through its relations to the notions of right, respect and self-respect. I present four kinds of dignity and spell out their differences: the dignity of merit, the dignity of moral or existential stature, the dignity of identity and the universal human dignity (Menschenwürde). Menschenwürde pertains to all human beings to the same extent and cannot be lost as long as the persons exist. The dignity of merit depends on social rank and position. There are many species of this kind of dignity and it is very unevenly distributed among human beings. The dignity of merit exists in degrees and it can come and go. The dignity of moral stature is the result of the moral deeds of the subject; likewise it can be reduced or lost through his or her immoral deeds. This kind of dignity is tied to the idea of a dignified character and of dignity as a virtue. The dignity of moral stature is a dignity of degree and it is also unevenly distributed. The dignity of identity is tied to the integrity of the subject's body and mind, and in many instances, although not always, also dependent on the subject's self-image. This dignity can come and go as a result of the deeds of fellow human beings and also as a result of changes in the subject's body and mind.” ~ Nordenfelt L. The varieties of dignity.
@@benevolencia4203Dignity falls under the spectrum of sociological constructs. If you really want to boil it down, anything any person or culture expresses from an internal perception, is just that, an expression, not an actual substance. If that type of system is picked up by the surrounding others in order for it to become normalised is always interesting to see if it happens. If it becomes popular persistently, it becomes the norm and the norm becomes expectation, and when that happens, it becomes, over a long time, considered just part of being (enter whatever human sociological constructs or culture here). Perspective, belief, and Humanity is a trip.
@@luphone2781 Yes. Our whole existence, or at least our perception of it; is built upon symbols and social constructs. Your version of reality is different than my version of reality as perceived within our singular individual selves. Even our left and right eyes don’t see a reality the same way. Life is a trip, the universe is a mindfuck. Especially fun when we don’t maim, kill, or eat each other. Right on; what you said. 🕊
To me this scene is one of the best in the history of cinema, it always spoke volumes to me. Sometimes I wish they had the epic swordfight on the beach but for some reason i enjoy this way so much more
i literally can't get over how perfect this scene was. i remember getting here in the movie and just feeling exhausted after 2 movies' worth of long, drawn-out fights. i literally didn't know if i could sit through one more. instead you get the antithesis of that - a long, quiet, emotionally draining, yet absolutely fulfilling conversation punctuated by like 10 seconds of blistering-fast action. and the fact that the fatal technique gave them time for a bit of emotional closure and mutual forgiveness... and that bill knew he was beaten and had the dignity to accept it and walk proudly to his death... UGH, it was so good.
It’s interesting how when she knows she got him with the technique and that he is gonna die, her angry and hatred kinda fall away immediately and she seems sad.
He died beating his meat in a closet. No need to feel sorry for a millionaire who's debauchery led to his demise. I'm not rich but if I died jerking off while choking myself just to get a stronger nut you would probably roast me as you should.
I've always loved the slight hesitation right before the final strike. This is the moment she's been fighting towards, she needs just the smallest moment to ask herself if this is what she wants to do, and her response to herself is that she is certain.
I wouldn't say it was hesitation, more like channeling all the power of her anger and hate into those deadly fingers before giving him the final deadly blow. She hated Bill just as much as he loved him. All in all, an absolutely legendary movie scene with phenomenal camera work that will hold up for generations to come.
RIP David. I don't know what drove you to do what you dead, but I will miss you nonetheless. You were certainly one of the greatest on the screen. May the angels send thee to thy rest.
The thing that blew my mind a few years ago whilst watching these films (for about the hundredth time or so) was the sudden realization that, with the exception of B.B., there are no “good guys” in this story. Oh sure, there’s a protagonist and a series of antagonists, but none of them are good people. They’re all killers. Even Beatrix, although she is the protagonist and could be considered justified, and even a bit righteous, is a killer. And the entire story is her killing her way through the rest of her former comrades to get to Bill.
I also like how the movies allude to the code they all follow as murdering assassins: like, yeah you totally deserve revenge for the horrible things I did to you, but it’s not going to be free, you have to fight me for it. Seen here with Bill, earlier with Bud, and with Vernita’s daughter.
I think that's also what inflates Bea's ego. She knew Bill could absolutely react how he did, but she believed she was the special exception as his lover. Why should she? In the end she's still the renegade killer bee; a new husband and a dead-end job would just be pretend escapism. The only true love in the story is between parents and a child. Vernita also tried to escape and build a life. She loved her own daughter, but it wasn't enough to escape her past that eventually claimed her. I think that's why they showed her death first and her appeal for mercy. She wouldn't get any mercy, and neither would Bea get any from Bill. So they might as well accept their identities and finish their story as the killers they are, and only one will be left standing.
Tarantino needs to get going on the sequel with the kids. That would really cement it. He said he was waiting for the child actresses to grow up, they're in their late 20s now.
Nah, Elle was killed by her. Beatrice might not have finished her off personally, but she signed her death warrant leaving her blind and helpless in a trailer with a black mamba on the loose in the middle of nowhere.
Its called kill bill but considering vol 1 and 2 are basically 1 movie split into 2 overall beatrix killed 90 people counting 85 of the crazy 88s members who died directly and bles to death, gogo yubari, o-ren ishii, elle driver, vernita green and bill
@@volcanolord100 There's maybe a 5% chance the black mamba kills Elle. They don't hunt people. They're only going to attack if they're disturbed. She probably gets out of the trailer
This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. The acting, the dialogue, the way that Bill and Beatrix don't have to tell each other how much they love each other because you can see it on their faces....it's all perfect. Thanks so much for uploading this.
The fact that he let B have her sword back while she's still drugged and retelling the events leading up to this moment is a true showcase of Bill's honor and sense of fair play. He knew only one of them was going to live to see the next sunrise, and if that was how it was going to be, he was going to settle the score as a warrior, blade to blade. B deserved no less.
Bill after he asked her why she never told him that Pai Mei taught her the "exploding heart technique" I always felt like when Beatrix says to him " Because I am a bad person" that it was in some way a expression of remorse for how she broke his heart. Like she never meant to do that with her action of leaving him and the buisness. Bill also mentions he regrets what he did by shooting her in the head. "Overreaction". Clearly so much love between these two who would become mortal enemies, but still lovers till the end. Bill and Beatrix relationship was a tragedy of Shakespearean proportion, Tarantino is a absolute genius here.
In the end, Bill gets to experience the power of the "5 Point Palm Exploding Heart" technique. He's in awe, not only of Beatrix having mastered it, but of what it feels like. He slowly takes the 5 steps that lead him to his death, testing if the legends are true.
When being trained by Pai Mei, after trying to cheap shot him, he claims Beatrix's right arm as his. That same arm plucked out his murderer's only eye and killed bill.
0:25 Did you notice how Will gets noticeably inebriated before their final fight. That is because Bill *WANTS* to lose. He may not think it consciously but deep down he knows he is a brutal, remorseless, blood thirsty, mass murderer and if given the time would have turned his daughter into a monster as well. He has basically done everything in his power to make sure Beatrix kills him He told her his location through his surrogate father He got drunk before the fight so he wouldn't be at his best He refused to use a gun which he Knows Beatrix is weak to as every single time she loses a fight it's against a gun I think the reason Bill chose to fight her is because 1) He deemed her the only one worthy to kill him 2) He knows he isn't good for BB 3) She feels guilty and want's to give her closure 4) He needs to see with his own eyes she has what it takes to raise his child
And even with all that stacked against him, he was still holding his own. He might have been the superior swordsman between them, still, but she had her ace-in-the-hole technique to end the fight before he could really get going. Without that... who knows?
Mansplainers gotta mansplain 😂 He was drinking bc he did not think she would be a match for him. He was wrong. He was defeated, no because he wanted, just because she was the better fighter.
I always assumed the reason Pai Mei taught Beatrix the 5 Point Exploding Heart Technique because out of all his students, he hated Bill the most for probably bringing him students like Beatrix and Elle Driver and I'm assuming all the other Deadly Viper Assassination Squad members. And he probably knows that Beatrix is in a relationship with Bill and know that he isn't a good man, knowing that he will betray her someday. And what better way to get revenge to Bill then teaching his lover the move that she will use to kill him in the future. That's what I think.
Of all the glorious fights in these movies, who would have thought that the final climatic fight would be 15 seconds long and end up being one of the best scene in the whole movie!
Another thing I’m curious about is Tarantino’s choice of David Carradine as Bill. It’s inspired, and ingenious! And David played the part so perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that you forget that Bill doesn’t even appear in the first movie until the very end; and even when he does, you don’t even see his face.
I think it's Carradines work in the series Kung Fu that sealed the deal for this role, and it was perfection. For me Kill Bill is Tarantino's most perfected piece of film making.
After all these years, I really looked more carefully and realized, towards the end there, you can actually kinda see that Bill seemingly specifically aims for the empty sheath, to give a better chance for Beatrix to finish things. I think in his own way, this was his apology for all that he did to hurt her.
One of the greatest stories about love. One of the greatest clothing scenes showing the death. One of the most impressive 'evil' character. Definetly the best amongst revenge movies. It's all about you, David.
I think that everything Bill said in this scene leading up to the blink and you'll miss it swordfight was 100% accurate. Of course, you sympathize with her because of everything she's been though because of Bill and his underlings but at the same time, you can't really blame Bill's motivations. Beatrix was arrogant for thinking he would just let her go and have a new life, especially with his baby.
it is strange,but i cried when Bill died.I cried becuase of thinking what i'd do if someone i loved betrayed me,and then killing them with my own hands.
Where this scene is unique, is the fact that Bill is already dead and they continue talking. It's like "it's done, nothing to do about it now" and they realize that despite all, they still care for one another. Quentin (again) kills with the dialogue. Simply the best dialogue writer out there BY FAR. I mean, Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds... don't get much better dialogue than that!
Bill's death being caused by something *so* underwhelming and undramatic is what makes it so fucking memorable. Here's Beatrix, after going on a brutal and ostentatious globe-spanning revenge tour murdering countless numbers of people, *finally* facing the titular Bill, the architect of her pain and misery, giving him a quick, painless death after about 15 seconds of them crossing swords/fighting. And once Bill knows she won, they talk like equals. This whole scene is just pure Tarantino, outside of the obvious Kung Fu influences usually present in his movies...David Carradine notwithstanding. All that said, the shot of Bill's corpse being David Carradine's on-screen credit moment is so darkly hilarious, only QT could've imagined it.
People think the final fight has to be with swords, the final fight was the whole time after Beatrice showed up. The quick sword fight was just icing on the cake
I love the response to the question "How do you look"?. Instead of some cheesy response like "you look good", it was a perfect response of "You look ready".

Despite being everything he despised, pai mei recognized her as his most trusted and gifted student. That always made Kiddo more special in my eyes.

@@vickyray6042her head shake so well directed and executed!!
Many people were upset there wasn’t some long drawn out duel, but there was already more than enough of those scenes throughout the film. This was much more powerful. Pai Mei hated American women, but after all her painful training, he saw something in her and chose to show her the technique. He didn’t do that with Bill. Bill inadvertently brought about his own demise by introducing Beatrix and Pai Mei. And I still think Bill would’ve been hard to defeat, even at his age.
That's why she had to use the secret technique which he thought she didn't know. Better to strike 1st and kill him.
Pai Mei taught Beatrix the technique cos he understood she was worthy of himself. Why she didn't tell that to Bill is probably cos she knew it would crush him and make him feel inferior. Before the final scene we get to see the real Bill who is a ruthless warrior, but also a man living in the world of comic books and vintage samurai movies etc, who never really grew up and learned to truly take responsibility due to his criminal upbringing. He would shoot the love of his life in the head and in the process quite probably murder his own unborn child without blinking. When he's confronted about it he almos shrugs it off, saying "I overreacted." It's like she always knew, although they were lovers, that he could not take bad news.
I get the need for a longer duel but ultimately it’s a spaghetti westerns shootout with swords
Kill bill 1 was the samurai one
@@dumbidea1007 Literally, this movie had the least amount of sword fighting than the first one. Brother shot her with a gun, she did kung fu with no sword from pai mei, etc.
Exactly. She knew he didn’t handle bad news well. That’s why she didn’t just break up with him openly and/or tell him she was pregnant.
How would that have gone, anyway? Would he have wanted to raise the child together? Or would he go for sole custody? Or just take the kid out of the country without permission?
Beatrix's face after Bill asks her "Why didn't you tell me?" always stabs me in the heart. She looks so remorseful. Despite her overwhelming desire to kill him, she still loves him.
I imagine finding out her baby was still alive and that he was raising her well blunted a lot of that desire for revenge, even if not entirely.
"She still loves him"? So why did she literally abandon him with their child wuithout uttering a single word just to fall in love with a random boy and marry him 3 months later? LMAO

What I really liked about this scene was that it wasn't just a "final showdown" type of scene we always see in movies, but provided emotions and a somewhat realistic situation involving two people that once loved each other.
Well, they still love each other but things have become untenable
Comment is over a decade old but you were the first to say exactly what I was thinking. Most revenge stories lack that duality. I’m trying to think of plots where the protagonist respected (even loved) the villain and… seems like a very overlooked plot point. Sephiroth comes to mind because we all respected him before he became an Armageddon machine but… by the end he was just another mindless threat to the planet… so idk that one is tough.
Yest the five points exploding heart technique is one the most realistic moves we have in the martial arts. Once performed by Donkey Kong on Bruce Lee in their Epic battle of Hong Kong.
@@hurmur9528 Did you see Sugar Shane Mosley get his peroneal nerve hit with just a toe and couldn’t stand after? I’m not saying an exploding palm technique is valid… I am saying that to shut down a top level athlete with the touch of a toe is pretty crazy.
I also knew a Marine I was sparring with and he hit the nerve in my neck and I had to fight to keep my body together… I bounced back and kept fighting but pressure points are very real

If you really think about it, Bill knew from his conversation with Budd that Beatrix deserved her revenge. This scene is really touching in that he gives it to her. Not in some "Go ahead and kill me" kind of way; he still puts up a little fight because Beatrix deserves the honor of beating him, but after knowing what she's done just to get there it's like going easy on her. He knows he's a bad man. They're all bad, but he knows he's got this coming, if not from Beatrix than surely from someone else. He'd rather die by her hand as it's fulfilling both her desire for revenge as well as his desire to show his love and devotion to her by letting her be the one who kills him. It's really a tragic love story when you realize it. He "killed" her, and now she kills him. It's like an exchange of vows, but instead it's an exchange of blows.
Further shown by his shooting her with a truth serum, and not a gun. Even Budd loaded his boomstick with rocksalt instead of bullets... a perverse sense of honor, but they still have one.
Bill regretted what he did but knew he couldn't be forgiven. In their dangerous hyper real world there are lines you just don't cross and both of them crossed them. Sad thing is if they were honest with each other the tragedy would have been avoided
In real life you wouldnt want to be forgiven not if you have honour. You deserve to be punished.
Bill would never accept kiddo's idea, that's why she left
Was it a lack of honesty, or a lack of trust?
"Letting someone believe that somebody they love is quite cruel..." that's exactly what he does to the Bride though.
He let her know how it felt. It was penance for what she did too him.
That's WHY he did it.
Letting someone believe they love is dead is cruel
*"...for the record, letting somebody think that somebody they love is dead when they're NOT is quite cruel."*

Their relationship is nuts. I love that she is hellbent on killing him but cries when she does. And kinda shows him respect at the end, which is crazy! Great writing.
Even after she kills O'rihin Beatrix is devastated. She sits on the bench and drops her sword, because she just killed someone that was her best friend.
@@AaronJLwell she had fought over at least 40/50 people at that point, plus had her back sliced open. She was probably exhausted too 😅
I LOVE Uma Thurman facial expresions. From anger, to sorprise, to sorrow and just pure sadness... LOVE HER
That extra long moment in which she pauses before delivering the 5th blow, tells me she still hesitated for a moment. She really loved Bill.
Tarantino originally in his script wanted an epic battle similar to Beetrix vs Oren but they decided on this. Probably because he still wanted to show that there was this hint of love and reason for their grudge. She killed him but it's obvious that she still loved him, same with with Bill loving her.
What is insanely interesting after many years I've watched this. Someone and some youtubers talked about katana forging and noted that every katana while being forged the same way are in fact impossible to be identical to each other through finishing. Especially not one forged from the traditional way by a swordsmith. Meaning every scabbard are made for a specific blade it is meant for due to its finishing(some maybe thicker, wide, thin etc.) In this case either it was intentional or purely for cinema it still shows how cool in lore that Hattori Hanzo broke the blood oath to perfectly recreate an identical blade to Bill's sword meaning he made Beatrix blade specifically to kill Bill! Bill by extension is potentially going to die by his own blade whether Beatrix uses his or her sword. And how was this shown or proven? Beatrix was disarmed by Bill with her Katana shoved away and left with only a scabbard. She then uses the scabbard to sheathe Bill's katana showing that it is in fact identical. This level of meta is basically Voldemort and Harry Potter's wand sharing the same core. And also solidifying what an absolute god swordsmith Hattori Hanzo is to be able to make an identical sword traditionally.
I feel like there's some phallic symbolism in that Bill's death comes from him putting his 'sword' in the Bride's 'sheath'.
I didn’t know that but it really adds to a scene already filled with so much, love, hate, revenge, regret. The five point palm trick was in itself a great tie in to their past together and what they shared. That they in fact shared even more, identical Hattori Hanzo katanas. That synchronicity , everything coming together, it’s brilliantly done.
Fascinating
@@sionsidhe9agreed. The sword parallels, and the broken heart. A lot of symbolism here
You could add more symbolism. One sword was made to undo the damage the other did. But in the end, none of the two swords killed Bill. In some sense, the swords are wiser than Beatrix. During the movie, 3 characters regretted what they did to Beatrix: Vernitta Green, Budd and Bill. The latter two could have killed her but gave her a chance to reconcile. Green also didn't want to fight and Beatrix killed her more or less in front of her daughter. She even explained to her that she now has all the rights to go for Beatrix and revenge her mother. Basically Beatrix is on a rampage to kill a lot of people of who most of them had learned their lesson and became peaceful. O'Ren was neither but she had to kill about 80 other people just to get the one she actually wanted to kill. All of them had relatives, too, some of them might want to get revenge. In other words, Beatrix, while having good reasons for her revenge, was causing more harm and ensured the circle will never end (if there was ever a third part of Kill Bill it would be about Vernitta's daughter trying to kill Beatrix). The swords, however, knew better. Bill died while one was disarmed and the other sheathed away. They truly followed the japanese spirit and their creator' - Hanzo swore to craft no more tools of war because he did not want to be part of any further killing anymore. It's a perfect cycle for the swords, too.
I was surprised by the short fight.I hear a lot of people say they don't like 2 but I think it's great how quentin added emotion and great dialogue while still having amazing fight scenes.Thank you.I just love that scene.
Its been a quarter of life since you wrote this, Sometimes dialogue is the most difficult fight
Damn I was four when this was written dang
Hello, I hope you're doing well after all these years.
I think Quentin Tarantino is a diddler
@@StandWatie1862 yeah he's openly a foot diddler
I think Bill was planning to die from the beginning. He was drinking heavily, thus greatly decreasing his fighting skill, he remained in the chair when getting up and into a more open area would've allowed him a much better fighting chance, and he didn't even really try to block Kiddo's arm when she caught his sword in her scabbard even though he had a good 3 or 4 seconds to react.
i think the timing in that moment where she kills him has more to do with the editing, sure it looks a bit like he could've reacted much sooner, but the way it's cut is so that we as an audience can perceive that entire moment - much like how sometimes you will suffer some kind of violence that happens really quickly but there is that frozen moment inside your head as it is about to happen that feels much longer
@@Guadeloopthat was so beautifully said 🤩🤙🏾

@@Guadeloopin real life that wouldn’t do shit. Lol.
There’s reason kongfu is not a real fighting technique
@@shahan1465kung fu is an actual martial art, made more for weapon fighting than for bare handed technique. Although, there is a real life five point palm exploding heart technique, in which you break the rib cage in five different places, and strike the heart hard enough to burst. The realism is not the point of its existence. The reason it exists in the movie is because it’s really cool and a great plot and character detail.
First off, what a better ending. Though it's not long as a duel, it takes place without standing, and in the true kung fu fashion, sword duels don't last long. Usually only a few strikes. Did you notice that she didn't even need to unsheash her sword, and also she basically took back Bills power of using the hatori hanzo masterclass sword by sheathing it herself and then using the 5 point exploding palm technique. Not to mention the dialogue,
Bill: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Bea: "Cuz i'm a bad person"
Bill: "No, your the best person, my favorite person. How do I look?"
Bea: "You look ready."
And like an honorable man walks to his death, so does Bill. Loved this movie so damn much. Shout out to Mac Miller's "Self Care" music video paying homage to the burial scene from this movie too.
It's a trap!
3:28 I like to think that every bit of rage, resentment and need for vengeance that Beatrix had was in that last hit. All of it went away when the deed was done, but that doesn't mean she was full of regret. Instead, she was finally at peace and could move on.
"You look ready."
The best movie line ever, the most manly and dignified death anyone could have and overall one of the best movie scenes of all time.
dignified death? no such thing.
I love her oneliner to Elle even more: "B****, you don't have a future" ⚔

@@ccshumshum8104 your comment that there is no such thing as “dignified death” makes sense to me. I always thought human dignity only last through human life. Without human life there is no human dignity. There is no dignity in taking human life; How could there be.
I found this quote interesting:
“The general concept of dignity is introduced and characterized as a position on a value scale and it is further specified through its relations to the notions of right, respect and self-respect. I present four kinds of dignity and spell out their differences: the dignity of merit, the dignity of moral or existential stature, the dignity of identity and the universal human dignity (Menschenwürde). Menschenwürde pertains to all human beings to the same extent and cannot be lost as long as the persons exist. The dignity of merit depends on social rank and position. There are many species of this kind of dignity and it is very unevenly distributed among human beings. The dignity of merit exists in degrees and it can come and go. The dignity of moral stature is the result of the moral deeds of the subject; likewise it can be reduced or lost through his or her immoral deeds. This kind of dignity is tied to the idea of a dignified character and of dignity as a virtue. The dignity of moral stature is a dignity of degree and it is also unevenly distributed. The dignity of identity is tied to the integrity of the subject's body and mind, and in many instances, although not always, also dependent on the subject's self-image. This dignity can come and go as a result of the deeds of fellow human beings and also as a result of changes in the subject's body and mind.”

@@benevolencia4203Dignity falls under the spectrum of sociological constructs. If you really want to boil it down, anything any person or culture expresses from an internal perception, is just that, an expression, not an actual substance. If that type of system is picked up by the surrounding others in order for it to become normalised is always interesting to see if it happens. If it becomes popular persistently, it becomes the norm and the norm becomes expectation, and when that happens, it becomes, over a long time, considered just part of being (enter whatever human sociological constructs or culture here).

To me this scene is one of the best in the history of cinema, it always spoke volumes to me. Sometimes I wish they had the epic swordfight on the beach but for some reason i enjoy this way so much more
I wanted the fight by the full moon
"In my defense your honor I'm a murdering bastard so it's not that bad for me." 😂
“Kiddo, you know I’m a Capricorn”
i literally can't get over how perfect this scene was. i remember getting here in the movie and just feeling exhausted after 2 movies' worth of long, drawn-out fights. i literally didn't know if i could sit through one more. instead you get the antithesis of that - a long, quiet, emotionally draining, yet absolutely fulfilling conversation punctuated by like 10 seconds of blistering-fast action. and the fact that the fatal technique gave them time for a bit of emotional closure and mutual forgiveness... and that bill knew he was beaten and had the dignity to accept it and walk proudly to his death... UGH, it was so good.
"How do I look?"
"You look ready."
**goosebumps**
It’s interesting how when she knows she got him with the technique and that he is gonna die, her angry and hatred kinda fall away immediately and she seems sad.
Goosebumps whenever actors who have passed have death scenes like this, especially with Uma whispering "you look ready"
He died beating his meat in a closet. No need to feel sorry for a millionaire who's debauchery led to his demise. I'm not rich but if I died jerking off while choking myself just to get a stronger nut you would probably roast me as you should.
I've always loved the slight hesitation right before the final strike. This is the moment she's been fighting towards, she needs just the smallest moment to ask herself if this is what she wants to do, and her response to herself is that she is certain.
I wouldn't say it was hesitation, more like channeling all the power of her anger and hate into those deadly fingers before giving him the final deadly blow.
She hated Bill just as much as he loved him.
All in all, an absolutely legendary movie scene with phenomenal camera work that will hold up for generations to come.
RIP David. I don't know what drove you to do what you dead, but I will miss you nonetheless. You were certainly one of the greatest on the screen. May the angels send thee to thy rest.

The thing that blew my mind a few years ago whilst watching these films (for about the hundredth time or so) was the sudden realization that, with the exception of B.B., there are no “good guys” in this story.
Oh sure, there’s a protagonist and a series of antagonists, but none of them are good people. They’re all killers. Even Beatrix, although she is the protagonist and could be considered justified, and even a bit righteous, is a killer. And the entire story is her killing her way through the rest of her former comrades to get to Bill.
Just like the real world
I also like how the movies allude to the code they all follow as murdering assassins: like, yeah you totally deserve revenge for the horrible things I did to you, but it’s not going to be free, you have to fight me for it. Seen here with Bill, earlier with Bud, and with Vernita’s daughter.
I think that's also what inflates Bea's ego. She knew Bill could absolutely react how he did, but she believed she was the special exception as his lover. Why should she? In the end she's still the renegade killer bee; a new husband and a dead-end job would just be pretend escapism. The only true love in the story is between parents and a child. Vernita also tried to escape and build a life. She loved her own daughter, but it wasn't enough to escape her past that eventually claimed her. I think that's why they showed her death first and her appeal for mercy. She wouldn't get any mercy, and neither would Bea get any from Bill. So they might as well accept their identities and finish their story as the killers they are, and only one will be left standing.
Didn't B.B. stomp a goldfish to death?
Tarantino needs to get going on the sequel with the kids. That would really cement it. He said he was waiting for the child actresses to grow up, they're in their late 20s now.
I love how in Kill Bill 1, Kiddo kills over 80 people... In Kill Bill 2, she only killed one.
I appreciate the contrast
Nah, Elle was killed by her. Beatrice might not have finished her off personally, but she signed her death warrant leaving her blind and helpless in a trailer with a black mamba on the loose in the middle of nowhere.

@@volcanolord100 There's maybe a 5% chance the black mamba kills Elle. They don't hunt people. They're only going to attack if they're disturbed. She probably gets out of the trailer

Best. Scene. Ever. Gives emotion to the bad ass fighting of part one. At the heart of the story is a broken heart. God, I love it.
This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
The acting, the dialogue, the way that Bill and Beatrix don't have to tell each other how much they love each other because you can see it on their faces....it's all perfect.
Thanks so much for uploading this.
So, stranger person, how is your life 14 years later?
The fact that he let B have her sword back while she's still drugged and retelling the events leading up to this moment is a true showcase of Bill's honor and sense of fair play. He knew only one of them was going to live to see the next sunrise, and if that was how it was going to be, he was going to settle the score as a warrior, blade to blade. B deserved no less.
David Carradine will be missed. Sad to hear of his death.
Oh my, I love this scene! This reveals the depth of Bill's character - his motives for doing what he did. The same can be said for the Bride.
Bill after he asked her why she never told him that Pai Mei taught her the "exploding heart technique"
I always felt like when Beatrix says to him " Because I am a bad person" that it was in some way a expression of remorse for how she broke his heart. Like she never meant to do that with her action of leaving him and the buisness. Bill also mentions he regrets what he did by shooting her in the head. "Overreaction". Clearly so much love between these two who would become mortal enemies, but still lovers till the end.
Bill and Beatrix relationship was a tragedy of Shakespearean proportion, Tarantino is a absolute genius here.
In the end, Bill gets to experience the power of the "5 Point Palm Exploding Heart" technique. He's in awe, not only of Beatrix having mastered it, but of what it feels like. He slowly takes the 5 steps that lead him to his death, testing if the legends are true.
This is intense, beautiful and tragic.
Watching bill walk to his death and collapse is really sad.
...not that we saw that in the abbreviated scene this time.
When being trained by Pai Mei, after trying to cheap shot him, he claims Beatrix's right arm as his. That same arm plucked out his murderer's only eye and killed bill.
He died in this movie with as much class, grace and elegance as he did in real life.
😐
0:25 Did you notice how Will gets noticeably inebriated before their final fight. That is because Bill *WANTS* to lose.
He may not think it consciously but deep down he knows he is a brutal, remorseless, blood thirsty, mass murderer and if given the time would have turned his daughter into a monster as well.
He has basically done everything in his power to make sure Beatrix kills him
He told her his location through his surrogate father
He got drunk before the fight so he wouldn't be at his best
He refused to use a gun which he Knows Beatrix is weak to as every single time she loses a fight it's against a gun
I think the reason Bill chose to fight her is because
1) He deemed her the only one worthy to kill him
2) He knows he isn't good for BB
3) She feels guilty and want's to give her closure
4) He needs to see with his own eyes she has what it takes to raise his child
And even with all that stacked against him, he was still holding his own. He might have been the superior swordsman between them, still, but she had her ace-in-the-hole technique to end the fight before he could really get going. Without that... who knows?
Mansplainers gotta mansplain 😂 He was drinking bc he did not think she would be a match for him. He was wrong.
He was defeated, no because he wanted, just because she was the better fighter.

Shut up..
Stop believing your own bullsh#t
I always assumed the reason Pai Mei taught Beatrix the 5 Point Exploding Heart Technique because out of all his students, he hated Bill the most for probably bringing him students like Beatrix and Elle Driver and I'm assuming all the other Deadly Viper Assassination Squad members. And he probably knows that Beatrix is in a relationship with Bill and know that he isn't a good man, knowing that he will betray her someday. And what better way to get revenge to Bill then teaching his lover the move that she will use to kill him in the future. That's what I think.
R I P David. Thank you for giving us the greatest character in cinema history.

Of all the glorious fights in these movies, who would have thought that the final climatic fight would be 15 seconds long and end up being one of the best scene in the whole movie!
I love how her heart breaks as soon as she lands the final blow.
Another thing I’m curious about is Tarantino’s choice of David Carradine as Bill. It’s inspired, and ingenious! And David played the part so perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that you forget that Bill doesn’t even appear in the first movie until the very end; and even when he does, you don’t even see his face.
I think it's Carradines work in the series Kung Fu that sealed the deal for this role, and it was perfection. For me Kill Bill is Tarantino's most perfected piece of film making.
@@Matthew-qk1xi Carradine was in a movie that came out in '83 called Lone Wolf McQuade with Chuck Norris. There's no doubt Tarantino knew that movie.
@@scottwilson1251 great movie! I'd say that he most definitely saw that one.
After all these years, I really looked more carefully and realized, towards the end there, you can actually kinda see that Bill seemingly specifically aims for the empty sheath, to give a better chance for Beatrix to finish things. I think in his own way, this was his apology for all that he did to hurt her.
this whole movie is like an insanely hyped up breakup. and I do love it.
Hi from the future
Fun fact: Bill is purposefully drinking a lot of alcohol so that he won't be strong enough to fight her. 😁
Wow I always thought this, he knows better but he’s obviously intoxicated

Uma Therman is wearing a classic long skirt dress. I barely know why but I love that.
best fight scene ever.... just goes to show, you don't need anything flashy to prove a point
"How do I look? .... You look ready."
The duality of revenge and violence on one side and love and respect on the other makes these scene so great.
One of the greatest stories about love. One of the greatest clothing scenes showing the death. One of the most impressive 'evil' character. Definetly the best amongst revenge movies.
It's all about you, David.
I think that everything Bill said in this scene leading up to the blink and you'll miss it swordfight was 100% accurate. Of course, you sympathize with her because of everything she's been though because of Bill and his underlings but at the same time, you can't really blame Bill's motivations. Beatrix was arrogant for thinking he would just let her go and have a new life, especially with his baby.
god forbid he have a reasonable thought in his head

it is strange,but i cried when Bill died.I cried becuase of thinking what i'd do if someone i loved betrayed me,and then killing them with my own hands.
Where this scene is unique, is the fact that Bill is already dead and they continue talking. It's like "it's done, nothing to do about it now" and they realize that despite all, they still care for one another.
Quentin (again) kills with the dialogue. Simply the best dialogue writer out there BY FAR.
I mean, Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds... don't get much better dialogue than that!
Yes! The music indicates it too. Immediate release of tension. The fight is over, Bill is dead. But they have words to share before he's gone.
I love when she cries when she realises that she's done it
Bill's death being caused by something *so* underwhelming and undramatic is what makes it so fucking memorable. Here's Beatrix, after going on a brutal and ostentatious globe-spanning revenge tour murdering countless numbers of people, *finally* facing the titular Bill, the architect of her pain and misery, giving him a quick, painless death after about 15 seconds of them crossing swords/fighting. And once Bill knows she won, they talk like equals. This whole scene is just pure Tarantino, outside of the obvious Kung Fu influences usually present in his movies...David Carradine notwithstanding.
All that said, the shot of Bill's corpse being David Carradine's on-screen credit moment is so darkly hilarious, only QT could've imagined it.
The dialogue is excellent, the acting superb, the framing and visuals terrific and the music is perfect! GREAT finale!
In his last seconds...he realized.... "damn I shouldn't of been drunk during our conversation...oh yea or be a comple-" *bleh dead*
I love that the sword that was crafted for this one purpose wasn't used but only to pave the way there.
People think the final fight has to be with swords, the final fight was the whole time after Beatrice showed up. The quick sword fight was just icing on the cake
I love when Beatrix uses a Five-Point Palm Heart-Exploding Technique by using a crane fist. Did she learned from Pai Mei?
"and there are consequences to breaking the heart of a murdering bastard ...."
pretty ironic, considering she breaks his heart at the end !
I love the response to the question "How do you look"?. Instead of some cheesy response like "you look good", it was a perfect response of "You look ready".
Even though it was wrong what Bill had done, when he got up I was like "Don't walk Bill, just stay in a wheelchair!!"
