Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is a 2004 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It combines the films Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), which were conceived and produced as a single film, but split in two. Uma Thurman stars as the Bride, who swears revenge on a group of assassins after they try to kill her and her unborn child.
The Whole Bloody Affair premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2004, before screening at Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema on March 27, 2011. Tarantino said he had waited until he owned the rights before giving the film a full release and thought that asking audiences to come to his theater gave it more meaning. It was theatrically released in the United States by Lionsgate on December 5, 2025, to acclaim.
Tarantino also directed an animated short, The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge, which debuted in the video game Fortnite and was included after the credits of theatrical screenings of The Whole Bloody Affair.
