Back in October, Quentin Tarantino fans were given an early Christmas gift when it was announced that the iconic filmmaker’s Kill Bill saga would be fused into the single film that Tarantino wanted to do in the very first place. Due to the powers that be thinking Kill Bill would make more money, they decided to cut it into two films and in part it did work as both entries were direct polar opposites of the same narrative. One the one hand, you had the first entry paying homage to the blood-soaked glory days of Asian Action Cinema and then the second did a 180 and delivered us a Spaghetti western liken to Clint Eastwood’s classic Man with No Name films.
Well, Tarantino finally gets to show the film the way it was meant to be seen as Lionsgate is readying to unleash Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in theaters on December 5th. This is the definitive director’s cut of the saga in all its uncut glory complete with brand new Anime sequence. What’s not to love!
The new trailer and sensational posters to celebrate the release is now live so check it out below along with the initial press release sent out in October!
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair—Quentin Tarantino’s presentation of the revenge epic that was originally presented in two volumes—will be released by Lionsgate as one complete film in theaters nationwide for the first time on December 5, 2025.
The highly anticipated release marks one of the rare times that the entire epic has been presented as a single, combined film. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair removes the cliffhanger ending from Vol. 1 and the recap that began Vol. 2. New to this theatrical release will be a never-before-seen, 7½-minute animated sequence. Select presentations of the release will be in 70mm and 35mm, and it is anticipated that the film will play in all major markets.
Tarantino said, “I wrote and directed it as one movie—and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is at a movie theater in Glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!”
Lionsgate manages library distribution rights for one of Hollywood’s largest portfolios of Tarantino films, which also includes Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and Death Proof.
Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic—presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new, never-before-seen anime sequence. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and stealing her unborn child. To exact her vengeance, she must first hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself. With its operatic scope, relentless action, and iconic style, The Whole Bloody Affair stands as one of cinema’s definitive revenge sagas—rarely shown in its complete form and now presented with a classic intermission.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair stars Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, and David Carradine as “Bill.” The film is produced by Lawrence Bender, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, based on the character of “The Bride” created by Q&U.
