Kill Bill: Volume 2

Continuity mistake: When Elle is talking to Bill after killing Budd, she is packing the money away in the suitcase. When she tells Bill "She put a black mamba in his camper", all the money on the floor to her right is gone and the only money left to pack is on the small table to her right. The next shot she is taking money from the floor to the left (her right) of the suitcase, and there is a considerable amount of money still on the floor. (01:10:35)

Lummie

Continuity mistake: After Pai Mei dumps the Bride's bowl onto the ground he shoves his bowl towards her. The bowl switches from the edge of the table to the middle between shots. (00:56:25)

Kill Bill: Volume 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the scene where The Bride is fighting Elle in Budd's trailer, Elle swats her back towards the back of the room with the sword. The Bride then takes one of the TV antennas as a weapon; notice the green bottle of beer on the TV. As she yanks out the antenna, she hits the beer bottle which falls. In mid-fall, however, the shot changes and the bottle is back on the top of the TV again. (01:14:20)

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

Factual error: When Beatrice arrives in Acuna, Mexico, she drives through a jungle of palm trees. While jungles exist in southern Mexico, Acuna is located on the Texas border and the landscape there is flat sagebrush desert.

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.

Visible crew/equipment: When they show Elle's face from inside the toilet you can see Plexiglas between her face and the camera. You can also see a round outline in the Plexiglas that I presume is the reflection of a camera lens. (01:16:20)

luchador

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.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Pai Mei shows Beatrix the short punch through the timber, the hole he punched through it is not solid wood but a fake veneer, MUCH thinner than the timber that is shown. (00:53:40)

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)

Budd: That woman deserves her revenge...and we deserve to die.

More quotes from Kill Bill: Volume 2

Trivia: A piece of Bill's dialogue makes a fairly subtle reference to Reservoir Dogs when he says to the Bride something along the lines of, "I hear the kneecap is a very painful place to get shot." This homages Harvey Keitel's character telling Mr. Orange that "along with the kneecap, the stomach is the most painful place someone can be shot."

Question: During Beatrix's fight scene with Pai Mei, she reaches for his throat. He shows something silver from his mouth. What is in his mouth and what is it an homage to?

Chris Buentello

Answer: It's a piece of white lotus blossom. The wuxia film "Fist of the White Lotus" is the one where Pai Mei acquires his skills and power.

LorgSkyegon

Answer: Anyone? The last 4 times I've seen this movie it's bugged the hell out of me. I can't find a good answer anywhere online.
