[edit] Plot Summary

This article pretty much details everything Beatrix does in the two movies. I feel that this makes it difficult to read, and difficult to create section headings. Also, this article gives little insight into her character. Does anyone agree? I think it could be remedied by drastically shortening the plot summary and adding information that goes beyond what you see in the movies. mdd4696 02:58, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I think this article should be deleted, it's more or less a repeat of everything she does in the Kill Bill article. I'm only editing it to remove speculation by 68.59.232.145. -Gillean666 13:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I've changed the article to a redirect since it was comprised strictly of a plot summary, already present on the Kill Bill page. --mdd4696 04:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

The Beatrix_Kiddo page should have a reference to the Family Guy reference to Beatrix Kiddo. I mean the episode where they are watching TV and an add for "Trix" serial comes on and there are children eating it and a cartoon rabbit standing there next to them. One of the kids says "Silly wabbit, Trix are for kids". The rabbit says "You share!" then kills the children for the sweet sweet Trix. The movie quote itself is (of course) a reference to the 60s Trix commercial. What's it got to do with Kill Bill or Uma Thurmans character again?

It seems strange that every other major character from the movie has their own article, but not the title character, I would propose that we bring this one back. Fightindaman 19:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm proposing a mergeto, this page is just a rehash of the main Kill Bill page's plot summary. The same should be done for any other character pages. Ckessler 07:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot or Spoiler Warnings

... Yea, throwing 'Should We Merge Beatrix Kiddo?' right at the top of the Kill Bill page is sort of a plot spoiler, don't you think? I mean, the entire article is a plot spoiler, not to mention the title. Oh wait, somebody did mention the title already.. JimmmyThePiep 23:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tiger-crane style

it says shes an expert in "CRANE" style, however in the movie she says to pai mei that her style is "TIGER-crane". i edit it but someone changed it. here you can see the clip from the movie (just skip to 2:26):

[edit] Why hide the name?

Does anyone have a reference to the motivation for obscuring the name throughout part one? There are probably a lot of people who would like to know why.

• Tarantino has given a number of different reasons for that. The one I like best is -

"I had "The Brides" name bleeped in the movie just so that I could put in the classroom rolecall scene. I always laugh when the teacher says "Mary Whorehouse", and that sweet little girl says "Here!" with a big ol' smile on her face." Also, if you freeze-frame the ticket, you can see her name printed on it.

Besides this, the article currently (12/12/2007) does not mention at all the fact that her name is concealed throughout the entire first film, and partway through the second, I believe. Where would be the best place to put this? —L. W. —Preceding comment was added at 01:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Created by Q&U?

What's with the "Based on the character of 'The Bride' created by Q&U" business in the closing credits of both films? I assume the Q is for Quentin, is the U for Uma? Is there some pre-existing story prefiguring the films or what?

Yes, it does stand for that and there is a history. If you watch the "Making Of" featurette on Vol 1 Tarantino explains that the character of The Bride was a collaboration of both his and Uma's while they were working on Pulp Fiction. He also goes on to explain that the opening scenes of Vol 1 were completely Uma's idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.234.250 (talk) 07:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kill Bill Vol 1 screenshot 2.jpg

Image:Kill Bill Vol 1 screenshot 2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Not the Brides sword?

I'm not positive, but I could've sworn that Bill's katana had the devil face on it, I thought the Brides sword had a sycamore leaf on the scabbard. If so, the sword picture is labeled wrong.
