wow wow wow wait a minute. looking in to the car, from seat. that isnt a mistake. the bullet goes through the car and into the brain, then the camera stays at the opening hole in the back of the guys head with blood splattered all over the back glass. so the girls are in the right position. thats what i belive.
so who thinks it is looking from the back seat into the car and who thinks it is looking from the hole in his head into the car?

Well that scene was very cleverly directed. The camera (if there is one) follows the bullet from the point of view of O-Ren until it goes through the guys head, so we see it go into the front of his head, then our view changes (by 180 degrees) whilst the bullet is going through his brain, so that we see it from the point of view of the man getting shot, and as the women are by his side, they both look at his face, and so are looking at the camera (if there is one, I don’t understand how they shoot anime!)

so thats how u see it. i see it as how i explained it and then he has died so he just falls forward and the back of his head is facing the roof back window direction and they are looking through the back of his head.

Thats the way I saw the scene. And then it might be a “mistake”. I’ll have to see that sequence again.
Well why does he stop moving and grunting? Why does Elle say to Bill he is Dead? And didn’t Elle also say it he will die in a matter of minutes due to the number of bites he recieved to the face?
Well, the venom causes certain muscles in the throat area to stop functioning, preventing the victim to make any oral sounds. I know cause ive had experience in being bitten by a Mamba :

About why Elle told Bill Budd was dead… err
Ask Elle I guess

Dude, just admit it, you’re wrong! It takes just a few minutes to die not 20!!
This says that there might be a slight possibility of him being alive.
"Is it always fatal?
Not all black mamba bites are fatal. It depends on how much venom was injected and where. If the venom has gotten directly into the bloodstream and not into surrounding tissue, it could be fatal. Survival is also dependent upon how fast treatment is administered after a bite. Immediate hospitalization is instrumental. There is a black mamba antivenin, but some may be allergic. In some cases allowing the human body to heal itself, with immediate medical care, is the best course of action. Paralysis can completely disappear with no after effects. As it turns out, black mamba venom can only paralyze temporarily. After about 12 hours, the venom molecules start to dislodge and are flushed out of the body’s system."
There is a slight possibility that all the bites werent hitting any bloodstreams… thought not very big, but still

When Bill is talking to Budd, he leans against Budd’s trailer with his hand. When the view changes, he is just standing normally, then when the view changes again, he has his hand on the trailer again. I wish i didn’t spot this mistake though. I hate it when i read a mistake in a film, because then I allways look out for it, and it spoils my viweing.
One of the bigger inexplicable mistakes was dressing Uma Thurman in suit similar to that Bruce lee wore, then arming her with a Samurai sword. For those with an understanding of history, martial arts and their significance to asian culture can understand that that image is more like casting a rabbi in full gala holding a jewish flag. The symoblism in that picture is so contradictory one wonders how tarantino could have missed that. Even his desire to pay homage to Bruce lee is rendered totally rendered pointless.

whats pointless is to convince somebody that this is just a fun movie. Tarantino doesnt make history movies. kill bill is a fun movie. he didnt clothe uma in bruce lee’s tracksuit to tell people bruce lee was a samurai. everybody knows he wasnt. he clothed her in the tracksuit to say “hey, why doesnt anyone remember bruce lee. so if noone does, i will”.

This post hasnt even been on here less than a few minutes and here you are houding me again…
And once again the point has gone far over your head as you still can not understand that simple paragraph.
You still can not see the blatant contradiction or glaring cultural insensitivity that dwarfs any other motives.
Like i stated above, only those who have a good understanding of history, martial arts and their significance in asian cultures can see that. You are still in your own world blundering about and for some reason or other desperately trying to show me up or something. If you need some one to explain the point to you, ask and you will recieve an explanation. Quit pretending to understand things that are so obviously well over your head.

I was originally going to respond to this question but i have changed my mind because it would be a total waste of my time. I have decided to turn the other leaf because i am really not interested in bandying words with you in particular any more. I read through some of your previous comments and it seems to me you just want to get into arguments for the sake of it. You dont really post any factual data, logical thought and most of your posts lack any consistency. (For example your most recent absurd comments claiming monster is some mainstream movie). You just made an absurd comment and when faced with facts you choose to lurch on to my next post.
I will tell you what. Its ok with me if you conclude there is no point in my post if that will get you to quit stalking my posts.
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but at the very end of Vol. 2, after The Bride does the Exploding Heart technique, Bill’s chin is bloody and then the next scene shows him with just a little bit on his lip. Kinda bugged me.
