The Bride, seemingly invincible in the first film, has just been shot and buried alive by Bill’s brother Budd, who is then murdered by Driver with a black mamba snake directly before the Bride and Driver finally meet. Up until this point in the saga, it had been beeped out. It begins directly after we learn – through a phone call between Driver and Bill – the Bride’s true name, Beatrix Kiddo. But Tarantino makes their relationship real by filling it with jealousy, regret, and respect. It’s such a viciously over-the-top set up for a clash that in lesser hands it would feel cartoonish. And we’ve watched Driver (played with murderous glee by Daryl Hannah) shoot a pregnant Bride with a machine gun on her wedding day (and then try to poison her in the hospital). It’s the best fight scene of all time.īy the time we get to this epic fight, we’ve seen the Bride mow down dozens of foes with her trusty Hattori Hanzō sword on her quest for vengeance. In fact, it’s not just the best fight of the Kill Bill films or even of Tarantino’s career. And while Volume 2’s showdown between Uma Thurman’s Bride and the titular Bill serves as the emotional climax of the Kill Bill saga, the action climax of Quentin Tarantino’s pair of revenge films is the Bride’s trailer-set showdown with her one-eyed nemesis Elle Driver.

While Kill Bill: Volume 1 was a mash-up a variety of Asian and American action film genres (personified by Lucy Liu’s character, O-Ren Ishii, a Chinese-Japanese American), the comparatively underrated Kill Bill: Volume 2 plays out like the beautiful, blood-soaked baby of a spaghetti western and a samurai epic.
