Kill Bill the Whole Bloody Affair Part 2

The second part of Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair begins back at the dress rehearsal where the infamous Bill has just crashed the party. The Bride introduces him to her fiance as her dad which might have been a slap in the face to Bill. Bill doesn’t seem to realize that the baby The Bride is carrying is his, not her fiance’s. As the dress rehearsal starts Bill gives the word and the Viper Assasination Squad descends upon the church killing everybody (except obviously the Bride).

Bill warns his brother Budd, who was part of the assasination, that Uma Thurman is awake and out for blood. Budd doesn’t seem all that concerned. He also seems like a loser, cleaning up “shitty water” in a “titty bar”, a job that he is not so fashionably late to multiple times. When Uma Thurman goes for the door he shoots her full of rock salt. I’m not sure why he didn’t just kill her. She is obviously a great threat. But then the story would end. Budd immobilizes her and with the help of a friend he digs a big grave and tosses  her in in a coffin nailed shut, effectively burying her alive.

Then there is another flashback. Bill and The Bride sit around a campfire. Bill tells The Bride of a Master Pai Mei and his Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique which are five touchpoints on a man’s body that, when touched, will cause his heart to explode before he has taken five steps. The Bride goes under Pai Mei’s tutelage. He is a brutal Master, showing no mercy as he drives her to punch her way through a block of wood. At one point her hand is so damaged she can’t even eat her rice with her chopsticks because her hand is shaking so much. However, she is a dedicated pupil and Pai Mei seems impressed against  his will. The Bride uses his technique to punch her way through the solid wood coffin. Dirt (six feet of it) crashes through the hole into the coffin and in real life would probably have crushed her or suffocated her. However, she claws her way through (six feet of) dirt to get to her freedom and heads to Budd’s trailer to finish the job.

Meanwhile Budd has found the sword fashioned for Uma Thurman in the first part of the movie. It is priceless especially since the swordmaker made a blood oath that he wouldn’t create any more swords. Budd needs cash quickly and he’s a greedy bastard so he contacts Elle Driver, the last remaining Viper. Elle is a beautiful blonde who wears a patch over an eye that she lost in combat. She comes to the trailer with a million dollars that she will give Budd in exchange for the sword. However, Elle plays dirty. She puts a Black Mamba in the suitcase with the money that bites Budd four times in the face. He dies on the floor of his trailer minutes before Uma Thurman bursts in and starts fighting with Elle Driver. Finally, Uma Thurman asks the question we’ve been wondering: what happened to Driver’s eye? She reveals Pai Mei plucked it out of her eye socket after she called him a miserable old fool. In revenge, Driver poisons Pai Mei’s food, killing him. This upsets The Bride and in the midst of  battle she casually plucks out Driver’s remaining eye. Completely blind, Driver goes absolutely nuts, crashing into everything in the trailer, breaking down walls, falling down, writhing on the ground. It is both comedic  and pathetic at the same time. Kind of uncomfortable to watch,

The Bride (now known as Beatrix Kiddo, her real name) tracks down Bill on the information of a pimp that helped raise him. She tracks him to a hotel and opens the suite, guns ready. She finds Bill rolling around on the ground with their daughter. Immediately, she begins to tear up especially as her (four year old) daughter runs into her arms, recognizing her from the pictures. She stays with her daughter until B.B. (as she is called) falls asleep. Bill and Beatrix have unfinished business. I felt that this next scene was unnecessarily long. Bill  shoots her in the knee with an arrow containing truth serum. He asks alot of questions about her running away from him, pointing out it is a cruel thing to do, to make  your loved ones think you are dead. Beatrix replied she ran away to protect her daughter from a life as a killer. Bill keeps telling her that’s what she is. In the end, Beatrix uses the infamous Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique against her former lover. He takes five steps then collapses. Beatrix takes B.B. and the two of them go on to resume their new life.

I liked the ending. There could be no way Beatrix and Bill would be able to raise B.B. together. I’m hesitant to say Beatrix could raise her alone. But the ending is however we interpret it as so I will say it is a happy ending. All Beatrix wanted (from the beginning of the movie) was her child. It means everything to her. And she has that now. Happy ever after.
