Kill Bill: Volume 2

Continuity mistake: Magical bread bag - The bag of bread continually opens and closes then open then closes without anyone touching the bag numerous times depending on the shots. (01:32:05)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When Budd pours the margaritas, in the closeup both glasses have the same amount in them, but when he picks them up one glass has noticeably more than the other.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Elle and Beatrix have their big showdown in Budd's trailer, Elle kicks Beatrix into some sort of room and turns around to get Beatrix's sword. She picks it up and throws the case of the sword behind her and it hits the hanging light, putting the light out. However, when you see a frontal of Elle holding the sword, the light's back on and it's motionless. (01:16:50 - 01:17:20)

Continuity mistake: After Budd shoots the bride with rock salt he turns her over to inject with a drug. When he aims the needle to inject her it is from her left side and aimed at her left buttock. When they show a closeup of the injection Budd's arm is coming from the direction of her feet and injecting her in the right buttock. (00:28:00)

luchador

Continuity mistake: About 10-15 minutes from the end, Bill and The Bride are talking in a room with a round couch with pillows on it. The Bride goes to sit down on the couch and directly behind her there is a striped pillow. As she sits, you can see that when she leans back, she will lean onto the pillow. However, the shot changes and as she completes leaning back, the pillow is no longer behind her, but to the side so that she leans against the back of the sofa.

Continuity mistake: During the end, when the Bride is talking to Bill, as the camera changes, the position of the Tequila bottle cork changes from lying on its top to its side.

Kirill Ostapenko

Continuity mistake: When Bud dies from the snake bite, his body is lying at an angle to the counter and his right leg is bent. Later, when Elle catapults over the counter and lands on Bud's body, it's parallel to the counter and his right leg is straight. (01:02:30 - 02:15:05)

Tax Dude

Continuity mistake: Magic jar of mustard - When Bill is making sandwiches the lid on the jar of mustard is off. The shot changes to the other side of the counter and the jar is back on the mustard. Later on we see the lid is once again off of the jar. (01:33:00)

luchador

Continuity mistake: A deleted scene in the Kill Bill 2 menu reveals a showdown between Bill and a black man with four henchmen. First henchman goes down then the remaining three attack. Bill slashes at them and they go down. As Bill approaches the black man, the positions of the three recently slaughtered henchmen changes everytime they are in shot.

Continuity mistake: When Budd is done making margaritas, the margarita mix bottle has the full label facing Elle. After he walks around the counter to give her a margarita, the bottle has spun halfway around and now the full label is facing where Budd was and the half label on the back is facing Elle. (01:06:35)

luchador

Continuity mistake: After Budd shoots Beatrix, he walks to his chair, places his "cup" (an empty Jar) on a makeshift table and sits down. As he does so, the jar switches hands in-between shots.

Continuity mistake: There are two shots of Elle driving up to Bud's trailer - in the first she drives straight and skids to a stop in front of his door, and in the second (which we see from the Bride's point of view up on the hill) she turns and pulls in before reaching the trailer.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bud is getting lectured by his boss (at the MY-OH-MY CLUB) and he turns and marks out Bud's name on the working schedule, from one shot to the next shot the pen marks on the calendar change - sometimes neat lines (the ones we see him do), other shots they're messy scribbles. (00:20:00)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Bill drops off the bride with Pai Mei, and they are talking by the truck, her jacket goes from around her elbows to on her shoulders without her putting it on.

Melissa

Continuity mistake: When Beatrix is putting Elle's head into the toilet bowl in the fight you can see Elle is holding the toilet basin near the left edge with her left hand very tightly (you can tell its hers by the black sleeve). In the next shot she is bringing her hand up from below the basin around the middle of the left side and grabbing Beatrix's arm. Even if she dropped her hand there was not enough time during the shots for her to drop her hand from the basin and bring it back up. (01:13:20)

Lummie

Continuity mistake: When Beatrix squishes Elle's eyeball with her foot she is in the threshold of the door. The next shot she is halfway down the hall and picking up the Hanzo sword. We do hear Elle in the background and her screaming is continuous. Beatrix could have never gotten from the threshold of the door to halfway down the hall that quickly. (01:20:10)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When Uma Thurman is at the trailer and is shot by Budd, then injected with a drug, there is a close up of her face and hands as she is injected. she clutches some sand in her hands which are under her head and her head drops onto her hand. However in the next shot when Budd is calling Elle on his mobile, if you look at Uma in the background her hands and arms are either side of her head and quite widely spread apart.

mandy gasson

Continuity mistake: After Beatrix plucks out Elle's other eye, Elle begins to kick and flail in the bathroom. A shot of the toilet has magazines and bottles neatly on top of it. The next shot the bottles are tipped over and the magazines are on the toilet seat. Elle never got close enough to the toilet to knock these items over. A few shots later and the magazines that were on the toilet seat are no longer there. (01:19:55)

luchador

Continuity mistake: After the bride has been crying in the bathroom near the end of the film, while BB is watching cartoons, the brides hair is much longer when she cuddles BB on the bed. It was shorter, shoulder length the evening before when she killed Bill and its the same again when she drives away happy with BB.

Question: Why did Elle kill Budd? Was it really just to get her hands on Kiddo's sword? or was it more to it? As poor as he was seems like she could have just offered him a small amount of money for it. Why kill him?

Carl Missouri

Chosen answer: The way she talks to Budd as he lies dying, seems to indicate that she has disliked and hated him for years, plus the fact that she feels that he was not "worthy" of killing Kiddo (seeing how Kiddo was a fantastic warrior, while Budd is an alcoholic hick). However, it would be difficult for her to get close enough to kill him earlier, as he would not buy any excuse why she just came visiting. But when Budd actually invites her over, she gets a chance to get back at him, and in the same while take the credit for killing the Bride and retrieving her Hanzo sword for Bill. Vengeance and personal gain in one swoop.
