When Tthe Bride fights the Crazy 88s, she unmasks a young kid who gives up. She then throws him into several others who land into a pool of bloody water. After the scene where she fights with the lights off, she narrowly avoids killing the same kid. He is fully dry, and his white dress shirt is stain free. She then chops his sword into pieces, he gives up and she spanks him.

When we see the death list for the first time, all the people's names are written in red ink, later when we see her drawing a line through O-Ren's name the names are in black. Then when the Bride is seen to be writing the list on the plane, near the end of Volume one, she uses red ink to write all the names.

When The Bride and O-Ren Ishii are fighting in the courtyard in the House of Blue Leaves, The Bride suffers a serious cut to the back and falls to the ground. Even though the close shot of her wound shows heavy blood loss, when The Bride stands back up in the next wide shot, there is no evidence of blood in the snow anywhere in the area.

When Gogo hits the Bride on the chest with the iron ball, the bride has her mouth filled with blood. At the next scene she has nice white teeth.

After the kitchen fight Vernita Green fires a round at Bride over her left shoulder punching a hole in the wall between the door and the cabinet. After Bride throws her knife and Green slides down the cabinet to her demise the next shot shows Bride standing in the same spot without the bullet hole in the wall.

After the Bride kills Buck in the hospital, then steals his car keys, then is laying in his car, trying to get her limbs to move, it says 13 hours have passed until she's able to fully move. After over 13 hours, Bucks dead body would've been discovered by hospital staff, police would've been called and discovered that his car keys were missing. They would've then looked in the parking garage for his car, therefore discovered The Bride in the back seat.

In the House of Blue Leaves, a number of times people are seen entering the tatami (straw mat) room without removing their shoes. This is a serious faux pas that no Japanese person would commit.

The details of Bill shooting The Bride are very detailed: hammer hitting primer, powder exploding in the cartridge, bullet exiting the rifled barrel of the pistol. But the bullet isn't spinning as one would do when exiting a rifled barrel.

During O-Ren's anime sequence, as she is taking aim with her rifle, we look back down the telescopic sight to see her eye enlarged. What we should see is the eye made smaller.

When the bride is laying comatose in her coma in the hospital ward, we hear the sound of a fly. It is the normal sound of a common house fly. Then we see the fly land on the bride, and it is a mosquito. A mosquito has a very distinctive sound (very high pitched) and is totally different from the sound of a house fly.

When the Bride boards the airplane she has the samurai sword with her in the cabin. Obviously, this wouldn't happen in reality. This is a stylistic choice for this film. The couple sitting directly behind The Bride have a sword as well, and a third sword can be seen. In addition, all of O-Ren's outriders have swords prominently displayed on their bikes.

When The Bride is questioning Buck, her lips appear to have lipstick on them. It is possible that Buck put the lipstick on her due to the fact he was 'selling' her to his customers and wanted to keep her looking good.

This may have been intentional, but in the shot of the airliner (a model) in flight towards the end of the film, the wires holding it up, are visible through the strange red mist.

Elle Driver uses her mobile phone while standing next to The Bride's life-support machine. Mobile phones interfere with hospital equipment. - Cell phones disrupt some hospital equipment, but not all. More likely it would affect the readings of a heart monitor than a "life-support machine". A conversation of a few seconds might have no effect on the machine whatsoever. In any case, Elle would not have been concerned about this.

In the real world it would have been impossible for The Bride to have a katana (or any weapon for that matter) on the plane or in the airport. The swords are there for dramatic effect. None of this film is real.

When Hatori Honzo writes "Bill" on the fogged window and The Bride erases it shortly after, you can see fogged-over smudged wipe marks as well as part of the letter 'B' where the scene had been done over numerous times.

When The Bride kills Buck and turns to rest lying her head on his torso, you can see she uses her legs for balance and stability in order to slam the door and reposition herself, yet in the next scene as she goes to the parking garage and gets in the Pussy Wagon she acts like there's utterly no feeling or strength in her legs.

At The House of Blue Leaves, when O-Ren sticks her dagger into the banister just before the Crazy 88 arrive, you can see that the banister is actually two separate pieces of wood, allowing for easy insertion of the blade.

During the fight scene between the Bride and Vernita Green when Vernita tries to impale the kitchen knife into the Bride on the dining table, you can see the rubber blade roll upwards as it strikes the tabletop.

When the lawman arrives at the wedding murder scene, his car goes over some rough terrain yet the sunglasses on the dash are unmoved.

As has been noted,mother scene outside the trailer where Bill and Budd are talking, either the hinges on the switch or the view of Budd changes from him being shot from the right then in later reprise of the scene, the same scene is left handed. This is either deliberate or an accidental reversal of the negative during editing. The negative reversal was common in "on the cheap" '70s movies where you would apprentice editors on their first solo job. However,it happened in Star Wars Episode 5, where Admiral Viet's rank insignia appeared on his right where it should have been on the left. This is a prime example of negative reversal that some how got through post production without being corrected.

When O-ren Ishii's motorbike guard is in the tunnel, you can hear the pitch rise and drop. The first time this happens, the motorcycle is at a fixed point with respect to the camera. In reality, the sound implies that the source is moving toward and then away from the observer, due to the Doppler effect.

At 1 h 41 m and 49 seconds. The first shot of the plane after the bride kills Oren wires are visible on the front and middle of the miniature plane prop.

The wedding is supposed to take place in El Paso, Texas. However, a Joshua tree is clearly seen outside the chapel. Joshua trees only grow in the Mojave desert in California and in Arizona.

When the Bride is following Sophie through the highways of Tokyo, Sophie's car is left-hand drive, and obviously driving in the fast lane with exits on the right side (as in the US). In Japan, drive is on the left-hand side of the road and steering is on the right side of the car. This is corrected when the Bride dumps Sophie off at the hospital.

The Bride was shot in a chapel in El Paso, Texas. The radio music is from a fictional radio station in Wichita Falls, Texas. Since the two towns are separated by a distance of around 500 miles, it is unlikely that the radio could pick up a Wichita Falls station, unless it were at night, and the station was a high power AM station. Daytime (when the scene takes place) reception would be nearly impossible.

After years in a coma, the Bride's legs have atrophied. Never explained is how her arms - with which she drags herself, kills two men, and effortlessly propels a wheelchair - have not.

Buck enters the hospital room of the Bride when the 20 minutes are over. It is obvious he is entering rather slowly and looking downwards. Later it is revealed that the Bride is lying down right next to the door. He should have seen her the moment he was going in.

In the "Origin of O-Ren Ishii" sequence, during the introduction of the character Sofie Fatale, the voice-over says Sofie is to O-Ren's right, when actually Sofie is to the camera's right, or O-Ren's left.

When The Bride is in the back of Buck's Pussy Wagon, she says, "As I lay in the back of Buck's truck, trying to will my limbs out of entropy... ." The term that should have been used would have been atrophy, not entropy. (Some argue that entropy is perfectly acceptable as a term describing disrepair or disorder: actually, by the second principle of thermodynamic, "entropy" is just the tendency of a thermic system - thence a human body - to release heat and energy into outer ambient when not restrained).

When Edgar McGraw is in the chapel examining the aftermath of the massacre, he remarks to his father that "the name on the marriage certificate is Arlene Machiavelli". There wouldn't have been any marriage certificate as this was only the wedding rehearsal; Edgar means the name on the marriage license.

When The Bride (as narrator) is introducing O-Ren's group, she starts with Sofie Fatale, by saying, "the pretty lady to O-Ren's right...". In actuality, she is to the viewer's right, but to O-Ren's left.

Hattori Hanzo tells the Bride that her sword will take a month to make. A real, handmade Samurai sword takes up to a year to make, involving many stages and specialist craftsmen.
