Most of these people are reviewing fan edits of the movie. The movie has never been released and has never leaked. If anyone actually saw it they happened to see it for the brief time it was in the theater.
I've watched Kill Bill Vol 1 7 times (8 if you count this), if you asked me before watching this if Kill Bill Vol 1 can get any better I'd say no, no way, it's already a masterpiece. But after seeing this I stand corrected. While there's no big change to anything in particular, the few small changes are just enough to make it even better than it already was. The first change you'll notice is an extra 10 minute animated sequence that shows O-Ren Ishii getting revenge on the man that killed her parents. It's animated beautifully and gives O-Ren's character even more depth than she already had. Secondly you'll notice that the legendary fight scene at the House of Blue Leaves is now in full color. With this scene in full color you get to really see the carnage that The Bride creates. You see guys heads being chopped off and geysers of red blood bursting from their neck. You see limbs chopped off with bursts of red blood. You fully see the red blood soaked floor of the building and the red bloody water of the pond. It makes the scene so much more impactful. The third change you see, albeit a minor one, is you actually see how The Bride interrogates Sofia for information. Which of course includes her asking her questions and in turn chopping her arm off for not answering. But the last change and by far most important is at the end of Volume 1, Bill makes no mention of The Brides child still being alive. That small change not only improves Volume 1 but drastically improves Volume 2. Originally you go into Volume 2 technically ahead of The Bride as you know about her kid and she doesn't. But that small change puts us on equal footing with The Bride. It makes the scene of her coming through the door to her child not just shocking and impactful to her but to us, the audience. Before seeing this I'd argue that Volume 1 & 2 are clearly two films and shouldn't count as one. Now, after seeing this, in no way can I say that, they so clearly go together as one film. This is no doubt the definitive way to watch and experience Kill Bill. It's an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

Kill Bill is a martial arts epic with great dialogue, a cornucopia of references, and that signature Tarantino flair for violence and a deep passionate love for cinema as a medium. This film, to me, acts as the perfect fusion of samurai movies, spaghetti westerns, and Hollywood spectacle. The Showdown at The House of Blue Leaves, where The Bride must face-off against O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88, is a masterclass in how to create an action scene, and the rest of the action in the movie has a level of quality only slightly below that.
Do yourself a favor; if you truly love movies, go see Kill Bill, because you will almost certainly love it too.

Just let yourself be entertained. Imagination, creativity, homage, recycling, all together to give us an immense enjoyment. With or without references, it is an appreciable work. Warning: It can cause an irresistible urge to purchase katanas, retro trainers, classic cars, take kung fu classes, take Japanese classes, watch anime, give a scratch to a pimp, sell the trailer and hug your kids to the sound of a Morriconian sundown.

Saw this in the cinema last night and after years of waiting wasn't disappointed.
The film feels as fresh and odd now as it did when I saw parts 1 and 2 on DVD back in the day.
The more seamless spit between the films also enhances the narrative with one plot detail held back from the audience as it was initially intended.
The film is very, very long at 4hr 15 mins with the intermission and like Snyder's Justice League makes me ask if theres a happy middle ground to trim a bit off the film to make it a bit more palatable.
But beside that I would say this is the best way to watch Kill Bill from this point. Here's hoping that they keep this and the other versions in print on disc going forwards.
Last thing - dont bother to stay for the Fortnite BS they stuck on after the credits. Calling it 'The Lost Chapter' is correct as its clear it was excised before it was shot by QT, but telling it in Fortnite is bloody awful. It manages to slightly sour the previous 4hrs and 15 mins (which is why I dont count inmt in the run time).

I've waited for years to see this. I'm a Fan of "Q". But Kill Bill has always been my least favorite film from him. I always understood that the studios made him chop the film up into two parts. SO I always considered parts One and Part Two as 1 release. I saw the Whole Bloody affair in 2025 in the cinema. And while I feel It still contains a major pacing flaw pertaining to last 1/3 of the film, I also feel this presentation shown in it's long form REDEEMS a lot of the flaws.
Seeing it like this has altered my opinion on the film and makes me appreciate it more.
There is no denying that visually, This Q entry is by far the greatest "Looking" film in his catalogue. Each scene is a stunning feast for the eyes that recalls the cinematography work seen in the films of Brian Dipalma, Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese and Orson Welles.
The storytelling and dialogue are superb, the music selections and sound design are legendary. The Ennio Morricone scores, re-used from the the classic "Dollars Trillogy." are some of the greatest movie scores of all time and they perfectly heighten the experience.
I personally feel this should be edited down to 3 hours 40 minutes. Creating the world's greatest piece of cinema. By somehow reworking the nonlinear editing of the storyline to build the climax of the film towards the end of the picture instead of in the middle... To me this still remains the film's greatest flaw. However, despite this major flaw the collective of everything else still puts this movie in the 8 1/2 to 9 star range.
It's just an amazing spectacle to witness. IT MUST BE SEEN AS ONE FILM!

Brilliantly cast and beautifullly shot by Tarantino. A tale told by two movies each with their own identity yet flow seamlessly together. Funny. Horrifying. Poetic. Gentle. Brutal. Beautiful. Efficient and minimal yet expansive and vast at the same time. A tale of revenge told through a stunningly beautiful lens. A Shakespearean Tragedy and comedy. A masterpiece.

I ran across this fanedit several years ago, but the original copy that I had was not the actual fan edit listed here. That one was simply the two original movies joined together, somehow although it did have some of the material that was in the actual bloody affair cut.
I finally found another version of this, The actual version of this IMDb listing. It was exceedingly difficult to find. But now I have the actual film as described in this IMDb entry.
One Reviewer talks about the way that "the clan of the White Lotus" was clipped into the scene where David Carradine as Bill is describing Pei Mei's five point exploding heart technique to Beatrice Kiddo. This is not a negative thing, it actually connects this newer Quentin Tarantino film to the old kung fu movies. It is totally appropriate.
The actor playing Pei Mei was actually the same actor who was the leader of the crazy 88's. And he does look a lot like the original actor from the kung fu film.
In my version, the resolution of the older film was bumped up, so that it's not noticeably degraded from the rest of the Tarantino film in HD. But there are so many versions of this fan, edit that are not quite the right version floating around, which might have had a totally DVD resolution of that scene clipped in, done that way, it would look kind of bogus. But the version that I have is not like that at all, it is 100% high definition all the way through.
There are also many other alternate scenes. I don't know where the fan who edited this acquired those, but they are all very good material.
This is the proper way to watch this film, I saw both films in the theater when they came out and I had to wait an excruciatingly long time between parts one and two.
Now, I can watch both parts in one sitting, and I don't even have to change video files, it's all right there.
Somebody should try to get this cut legally distributed because it is simply too good to be a mysterious and difficult to find much less stream fan edit. Previously, I had come across a version of True Romance that was cut the way Tarantino had written it, it may have been edited by the same person because editing wise you could not tell between a regular movie and the fan edit. But the story of that one was a lot more negative than the theatrical release, it is very difficult to watch, especially the ending. Which was typical of early Tarantino work. When you get all the way back toward reservoir dogs, well, nobody gets out alive. It wasn't until later when he decided to have a couple characters actually escape by the skin of their teeth, he started becoming more popular. Pulp fiction era, possibly. Actually, his latest movies have gone toward the complete opposite extreme, all kinds of people escape.

The survivor of a massacre wakes from a coma 4 years later and seeks revenge on the people responsible. The complete uninterrupted version of writer/director Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill', which was split into 2 parts when first released as Vol 1 and Vol 2 in 2003 and 2004. This version ( copyrighted 2004, and with several later additions tagged on at the end) is apparently the version the director always wanted to release, and was first premiered at Cannes in 2006. Despite it's length (over 4 and a half hours) it rarely if ever gets boring due to the fast pace, to handle all the hectic and violent action, and being always good to look at with it's flamboyant colour scheme, including yellow outfits and red blood painting the screen as it sprays from chopped off limbs courtesy of Uma Thurman's former assassin turned avenger character 'The Bride' and her samurai sword. Indeed the visuals (which includes frequent switches from black and white to colour and animated sequences) and the one assumes deliberately contrived plot (with a back and forth in time narrative) clearly like to draw attention to themselves at every opportunity (whether for Brechtian reasons or not), in a film with extreme OTT comic strip martial arts action sequences as part of a tall tale which essentially has the look and feel of a graphic novel. Blackly comic, ironic, operatic, with bouts of sadism, and perhaps a slightly fascistic mentality, this often feels like an encyclopedia of refs to the martial arts genre and it's iconography (and to a lesser extent to The Western), as well as taking inspiration from the underrated early 1970s Swedish film 'Thriller', in a film where the females are a lot deadlier than the males. You could see this film as a kind of bizarre domestic child custody drama - Tarantino style - with the action merely being symbolic of the emotions, and whose twists, turns and reveals work, and demonstrate Tarantino's skill as a director, despite the plot and dialogue having deliberate whiffs of the ludicrous and absurd (eg a spanking after another massacre) which could induce titters amongst audience members not in tune with Tarantino's dark humour.

At last the whole bloody affair in one sitting at the theatre how it was ment to be! Just over four hours of great action, beautiful dialogue, great acting , plenty of blood. An amazing homage to those martial films of the 70s. A flawless soundtrack, Easter eggs aplenty. Hopefully it'll be released in a 4k format one day as one day at the theatre was not enough. I know plenty of people have seen parts one and then two. But do yourself a favour see it like it was ment to be seen.
This is the best Kill Bill version. Actually, it is a huge masterpiece.I have seen many movies, but this is the best of all. Kung Fu, ninja, samurai style,it reminds western. A heart-broken woman fighting for revenge and because of her lost child.The first feminist movie created by Q&U.The cast was brilliant. Quentin's directing changes was awesome. Soundtracks in perfect harmony.It is definitely a memorable movie with so much thrill and action.The best movie i have ever seen.All the cast was brilliant, i liked the martial arts style, Gordon Liu as Pai Mei and the plot. Tarantino is a very genius man and he knows how to make movies.

His best film so far. What i didn't like was that he made some changes in Vol.1 but that wasn't really necessary! He should make changes in Vol.2 because i found some scenes completely pointless. And also i prefer the two parts separate because they are so different each other! I liked Vol.1 much more than Vol.2. Yes, it's a bit confusing. However, it is more like a complete movie, so some people won't complain. But i still think they are better as two seperate films with different philosophy and style.

Everyone and everything in this film is amazing. If you don't know, this film is both kill bills in one with an intermission. They took out some of the cliffhanger stuff and added a few more details and scenes. I was lucky enough to catch the last showing at my local theater.
Uma Therma was amazing as Beatrix. There were also many all stars in the cast like Lucy Liu and Micheal Madsen. The antagonist Bill was perfectly evil and despicable. The character development is great. You know each character so well.
The action is great and extremely intense. So visceral and real. The cinematographer and stunt choreographer did an amazing job bringing these fights to life. And in this version we see it even better with no shielding to make it look less brutal.

Rating - 7.6:
Overall, 'Kill Bill: Vol. 1' uses Uma Thurman's strong performance and its well-executed action sequences to make you feel invested and really intrigued by the Bride's revenge story as you are interested to see how things play out in the second half; however, 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' falls flat as it is more dialogue-focused and just feels more bloated in comparison to its first act, with the ending just feeling anticlimactic overall as you don't feel satisfied with the four-hour journey you just went on.
Direction - Pretty Good: The direction on a macroscale pays homage to the exploitation genres with its martial arts and western action to make this movie feel memorable; the direction on a microscale is similar to the genres it is trying to pay homage to, as it consists of a lot of tough, macho dialogue and sequences you would expect, which ultimately feels out of Tarantino's wheelhouse since this movie is less dialogue-heavy than the rest of his filmography; the storytelling in the first volume is good as it makes you feel intrigued by what happens next, but the second half feels very flat in comparison; they build tension decently well, but it is not super strong because of how cartoony this movie feels
Story - Pretty Good: The concept is a revenge story that is wrapped in an exploitation film as the first half pays homage to the martial arts genre and the second half pays homage to the western genre; the plot structure is a tale of two acts, where the first act is well-structured and helps build the character and the story to make you feel intrigued to see how this story finishes, only for the second half to be flatter and more dialogue-heavy; character writing is good for Thurman's character as it paints her with a sense of mystery that makes her revenge story interesting, but the more they reveal about the character, the less interesting she becomes
Screenplay - Decent: The dialogue is less like his other films and is not as strong, as the first half is more action-focused and the second half is just flat and less interesting; the humor uses more physical comedy in the fight sequences to make this movie feel cartoony and similar to the genre it is trying to pay homage to; the symbolism is what you would expect from a revenge film; the foreshadowing is very good in the first half as its non-linear style helps provide intrigue into how the Bride got into this situation, only for the second half to be somewhat flat
Acting - Pretty Good to Good: Uma Thurman - Good to Very Good (Really takes control of the movie and makes it her own, doing well in the dramatic and action sequences; has good chemistry with the cast as she steals the screen whenever she's in focus), Lucy Liu - Pretty Good (Is not given too much material to work with but is memorable and does a pretty good job in the action sequences), Daryl Hannah - Pretty Good (Plays the antagonist role well in comparison to Thurman as she is this foil that makes their fight sequences worth watching), Michael Madsen - Pretty Good (Plays this lazy assassin role well as his disinterest in going after The Bride suits his actor and plays to his acting strengths), David Carradine - Good (Is memorable in his sequences as he plays this fatherly figure to Thurman (that is somehow also her lover) as the chemistry the two have on screen make him the most memorable part of the second volume, it is just a shame this section is just weaker), Rest of the cast - Decent to Pretty Good (Everyone is very over-the-top and cartoony to help play to this exploitation genre; decent chemistry with the cast, though they are not given the signature Tarantino dialogue that makes his movie's what they are)
Score - Decent to Pretty Goodß: Pays homage to the genre and helps build tone and tension
Soundtrack - Very Good: Uses a lot of iconic sounds and songs that have not only become associated with this film but pop culture in general
Cinematography - Good: Used well in the action sequences as it helps provide depth and range to these shots
Editing - Decent: Decent for the most part, but it feels either basic or a little too much with no in-between
Sound - Pretty Bad: I understand it was intentional to be emblematic of the exploitation genre, but it was just so cartoony and over-the-top that it became distracting and annoying
Visual Effects - Pretty Good: Emblematic of the exploitation genre with how over-the-top and cheesy it is, as they use a lot of practical effects, but it does look a bit cheap and tacky when it is overused; the fight choreography is good and helps make this movie feel like an entertaining martial arts and action film
Production Design - Pretty Good: The first half uses Japan very well as a backdrop, as it plays an integral part in why this movie is popular; the second half uses its western backdrop to give backstory into the Bride's life, though it is less interesting than the first half
Makeup - Pretty Good: Helps show the gore and damage the Bride takes during her fights; uses a lot of practical effects to help show the carnage of these fight sequences
Costumes - Pretty Good to Good: The costumes in the first half are very iconic, especially the Bride's yellow jumpsuit that pays homage to Bruce Lee's iconic outfit; however, the second half just has generic costumes
Pacing - Pacing in the first half is good as it moves at just the right speed to keep you entertained and intrigued by what happens next; pacing in the second half is pretty slow as the movie feels more bloated with its longer dialogue sequences and less action
Climax - Climax in the first act is very good and leaves you wondering what happens next as the Bride goes through an amazing action sequence that this duology is known for; climax in the second half feels very anticlimactic and flat as you don't feel satisfied with the four-hour journey you just went on
Tone - Tone is very emblematic of the exploitation genres it is trying to pay homage to, with the first half being very martial arts and the second half being very western
Final Notes - The Fortnite lost chapter they included at the end was so bad that it took points away from this movie as a whole.

A young woman is shot and left for dead at her wedding. Her entire wedding party is massacred in cold blood. After four years in a coma she awakes and systematically sets out to wreak revenge on the people responsible, especially their leader, Bill...
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is the single-film version of Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2. It isn't simply the two films joined together but a reedited version of the two films, though much of the two films stays as and where it is.
Having enjoyed Kill Bill Vols 1 and 2 immensely I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed by this. Solid, original plot, good character depth, cool dialogue (as you would expect from Tarantino), great action scenes. Good use too of time-jumps, a Tarantino trademark. Solid performances too.
Tarantino has a habit of wearing his influences on his sleeve and this is homage to martial arts films. The fact that he cast Sonny Chiba in a role in Kill Bill bears testimony to that.
This all said, I'm not sure I watched the actual Tarantino edit but more likely watched a fan edit. It's been a while since I watched Vols 1 and 2 so I can't say for sure but pretty much everything looks exactly like Vols 1 and 2, except for the end credits to Vol 1 and the start credits to Vol 2 being missing, of course. Plus, apparently it's impossible to get hold of the actual Tarantino version.

All I can say about this film that hasn't already been said from what I've read is that I don't think enough attention is paid to the fight choreographers work in the crazy 88's fight sequences. It's some of the cleanest and most entertaining fight sequences of all time in my opinion and it truly unleashes the bride in her awesome full potential as a martial artists and sword master.
Beyond that the film is soaked in style, emotive acting and punchy dialogue, all stuff you come to expect from Tarantino. But this film is his best work, be sure to give it a watch. I've never watched a film this long before. To make something 4+hrs long and have it be as entertaining and engaging throughout is no joke.

Over two decades ago, Quentin Tarantino set out to honor the cinema genres that defined him as a director. The spark ignited on the set of Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman approached him with the specific idea for the opening scene of what would become Kill Bill. From that moment, a masterpiece was conceived, and "Kiddo" was born.
Originally four hours long, the film was deemed too risky for the average moviegoer. The work was cleaved in two, leaving audiences with two fabulous standalone films. Now, twenty-two years later, Tarantino finally reveals his full hand to his fans with the uncut, raw beauty of "The Whole Bloody Affair." Clocking in at nearly five hours, this epic serves as a testament to the mastery of one of history's greatest directors. It showcases Tarantino's unadulterated vision and his unique eye for blending genres in what was the fourth major work of his career.

It is not hyperbolic to call this movie peak cinema. The original Kill Bill Vol. 1 was an amazing movie filled with incredible style and memorable action and Vol. 2 had excellent story, characterization, and was a great conclusion to the duology. But, in splitting the two films apart, something always felt missing from the saga. Now, this is remedied and the definitive way to watch the epic is finally here! The two parts perfectly compliment each other and build up steadily to an even more worthwhile finale. The subtle editing changes and added scenes, may not seem like a lot, but enhance the film greatly. It's yet to be seen if this version of the epic will see digital or physical release, so if you've never seen the original films or just haven't seen them in a while, I urge you to watch it in cinema (the soundtrack and sound design is killer). This is certainly Tarantino's greatest work, which says quite a lot.
