Tarantino’s "Kill Bill" Cut Unleashed: Big Screen Revenge Arrives!

Thescreescore – Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited, definitive version of his martial arts masterpiece, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, is finally hitting theaters this December. After years of anticipation and special screenings, Lionsgate is granting fans’ wishes, unleashing the complete saga of Uma Thurman’s "The Bride" on the big screen starting December 5th.

Originally conceived as a single film, Kill Bill was famously split into two volumes due to its extensive runtime. Now, Tarantino’s original vision will be presented as intended, offering a unique cinematic experience for both die-hard fans and newcomers.

This isn’t just a simple combination of Volume 1 and Volume 2. The Whole Bloody Affair will feature some trims, including the removal of Volume 1‘s cliffhanger and Volume 2‘s recap. But the real draw is the inclusion of a never-before-seen, seven-and-a-half-minute animated sequence, adding even more depth to the Bride’s epic quest for vengeance.

Tarantino himself expressed his excitement, stating, "I wrote and directed it as one movie – and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is at a movie theater in Glorious [sic] 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!"

The film, starring Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, and David Carradine, is expected to play in all major markets, offering a wide audience the chance to witness this cinematic event.

The decision to initially split Kill Bill stemmed from its nearly four-hour length. Producer Harvey Weinstein reportedly pushed for cuts to the action sequences, but Tarantino stood firm, leading to the compromise of a two-part release. Despite the division, both Volume 1 and Volume 2 achieved significant box office success, each grossing over $150 million worldwide.

While fans eagerly await Tarantino’s self-proclaimed final film, he remains busy with other projects. He penned The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (with David Fincher potentially directing), is developing a play, and hosts The Video Archives Podcast. For those craving more Tarantino, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair offers a chance to revisit a beloved classic in its ultimate form.
