I watched this movie on Netflix.
There are several Tarantino still on my list that I need to see. And I finally knocked off the Kill Bill films from that list.
While not as great as some of his other films, like say Inglorious Bastards, this film is still a lot of fun and good. Though you can already really see Tarantino's foot fetish getting into his movies here.
A story of revenge, from a strong woman with a lot of will power to avenge the death of her fiance and unborn child at the hands of her former lover and boss, Bill.
The movie was too long at first, and Tarantino was forced to split it into a Part 1 and Part 2.
As of such, the first part suffers a little from that with how it is an incomplete story that doesn't meet a resolution to stand on it's own as a single film. You're really meant to watch them back to back, but it's still good as is! It's hard to hold that against a movie in a case like this.
It is a solid action film with some great acting and high stakes.
Mistake Status: N/A.
9.7/10. One of Uma Thurman's best movies of the 2000's. She plays The Bride well alongside a great cast consisting of David Carradine, Vivica Fox, and Lucy Liu. The whole thing is a tribute to spaghetti westerns, foreign revenge movies, and martial arts too. One of the best scenes is the blood soaked fight between her and The Crazy 88's, well done choreography here. I would definitely recommend it for only hardcore fans of such movies, nobody under 18 or faint of heart. Uma Thurman's great here.
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.

O-Ren Ishii: As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, but always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've chosen is the wisest, tell me so. But allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is: I collect your fucking head. [Holds up Boss Tanaka's head.] Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME! [Silence.] I didn't think so.
Trivia: Anybody else catch the "square" thing? Uma Thurman did the same thing in Pulp Fiction.

Answer: Bill used Hattari Hanzo's teachings for evil, instead of belief and self defense.
