Instead we begin right at the beginning of Chapter 6, Massacre at Two Pines, and from there the film is totally the same as the original theatrical cut. Volume 2 doesn't have any titles or the direct address introduction, that's all been cut out.


Removing that final cliffhanger from the movie is the most significant change. With that addition, that second encounter pays off better.ĭuring the final scene, the wicked Sofie Fatale loses her other arm on camera and instead of the film ending on Bill saying "Is she aware her daughter is still alive?" it ends on The Bride, over the trunk, saying "They'll all be as dead as O-Ren" before cutting to a musical interlude for intermission. There are also several different angles and gory shots added into the sequence including a brief, earlier encounter with the young boy The Bride ends up spanking with her sword. The House of Blue Leaves battle is now completely visualized in blood-drenched color and the shot of The Bride blinking to turn the color back on has been removed. It does, however, add a few more violent shots that were probably cut to get an R-rating in the United States, such as the spilling intestines of pedophile yakuza boss Matsumoto. Because this is the print that showed at Cannes several years back, it does not include the extended anime sequence that Tarantino has hinted at before. From there, the movie is identical all the way up until the O-Ren Ishii anime sequence.
