Deliberate mistake: When the Crazy 88 crew is coming in to attack the bride they use one of the shots twice. It is the one that shows 1 guy jump over a banister and go to the left of the screen then another guy comes directly after him and heads directly towards the camera. It happens at 1:21:49 and 1:21:53. (01:21:45)
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, David Carradine, Julie Dreyfus
Revealing mistake: When the swordmaker writes "Bill" on the window, take a close look. The window has been wiped before (as happens at the end of the scene) and "re-steamed" - you can see the outlines of the wiping from earlier takes, with a clear contrast between that pane and the others. (00:52:45)
Vernita Green: So, when do we do this?
The Bride: It all depends; when do you wanna die?
Trivia: The Japanese version of "Kill Bill" is longer and contains even more violence and gore.
Question: Why are there 2 swords on the plane with the bride?
Answer: There are more than 2. They are positioned similarly and look similar to The Bride's. So, Tarantino is saying The Bride isn't the only passenger with a kill list. This is where Tarantino reminds us that this is an allegory with The Bride representing all good people seeking revenge against the evil people who wronged them. A common theme in Tarantino films.
