Synopsis:

This is an edit that combines both of the Kill Bill movies into 1, while keeping the runtime of just 1 of the movies. Large scenes and small cuts are used to achieve this, and a re-structuring to a more chronological order has been done also.

Intentions:

This is one of my favourite movies, and thought it would be the perfect choice for my first edit.

Change List:

Much on the movie is re-ordered, and the cut list is too long to mention, this features hundreds of cuts featured in every scene to assist with bringing the total runtime down, while still letting key scenes breathe. Changes: Bill is now introduced in the first scene, with much of the flashback content at the start, making it more chronological in order. The fight with cotton mouth is halved in length. Detectives discovering the bride removed. Rape scene removed Buck scene removed. O-Ren gets 2 back stories, removed the longer one (anime scene). Halved the length of Hatori Hanso and crime lords' scenes. Shortenings sporadically to the crazy 88 fights, which has also been moved to the end, as it is the biggest action set piece. Added the Japanese DVD footage to include the more violent scenes and remove black and white censoring scenes. Removed scene’s that get you hooked to see the next film, which also are spoilers. Removed Bud working at the Bar. Removed second half of training with Pai Mei, reincorporated later as a flashback. Removed scene with Estaban’s brothel. Removed scenes talking with her daughter, and after she is asleep, scenes talking with bill. Removed flash back scene with Karen the assassin.

Additional Notes:

I took some inspiration from a now infamous fan-edit suggestion video by YT channel Cinemassacre about a Kill Bill re-edit, but made many changes and choices of my own to get the structure to fit just right.

Other Sources:

Japanese DVD rip, only section that is 1080p, but used it for the crazy 88 fight scene that was censored in western releases.
