Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Earns Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

by

Quentin Tarantino’s extended cut combining his Kill Bill movies premiered in theaters on December 5th. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair merges Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, 281-minute film, and it’s already receiving rave reviews from both critics and audiences.

For the first time, the film The Whole Bloody Affair is being shown in theaters. It hasn’t been seen publicly since Quentin Tarantino showed it at the Cannes Film Festival around 2006. The film has already earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with both critics and audiences loving it.

The film hasn’t been widely shown in theaters until now. It had a brief run at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles in 2011 and a limited showing at the Vista Theater in Los Angeles in 2024, but 2025 is the first time it’s getting a full theatrical release.

The book The Whole Bloody Affair combines Volume 1 and Volume 2 into one complete, unrated story, presented as the author originally envisioned, and includes a brand-new anime sequence. The story begins with the protagonist left for dead after being ambushed at her wedding rehearsal by her ex-boss and lover, Bill, who shoots her and takes her unborn child.

The story follows her quest for revenge, which begins with tracking down the last four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before she finally faces Bill. Known for its grand scale, non-stop action, and unique visual style, The Whole Bloody Affair is considered a landmark revenge film—it’s rarely seen in its entirety, but is now being shown with a traditional intermission.

The Whole Bloody Affair Boasts a Higher RT Score than the Individual Films

The film, directed and written by Quentin Tarantino, brought in over $180.9 million globally on a $30 million budget. It stars Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Vivica A. Fox, and Daryl Hannah, and has received positive reviews, with an 85% score from critics and an 81% audience rating based on over 250,000 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The story centers on an assassin who seeks revenge on those who betrayed her after being in a coma for four years.

As a huge Tarantino fan, I remember being so excited for Kill Bill: Vol. 2 when it came out in 2004! Seeing Uma Thurman back as “The Bride” was fantastic. It did really well at the box office too, bringing in $152.1 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. And critically, it was a hit – Rotten Tomatoes shows an 84% score from critics and even better, an 89% audience score, which really speaks to how much people loved it.
