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 movie on Dec. 5, 2025.
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. Tarantino has spoken about a version that included animated footage, going as far back as San Diego Comic-Con 2014.
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 Tarantino films, which also includes Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and Death Proof.
In the Kill Bill movies, 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. Combined, the Kill Bill movies grossed $333 million at the global box office.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair stars 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 Tarantino, based on the character of “The Bride” created by Q&U.
