108 free Kill Bill trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
59 free Kill Bill trivia questions with answers. Kill Bill was written and shot as one four-hour revenge epic, then split into Volume 1 (2003) and Volume 2 (2004), and this quiz treats it the way Tarantino did: as a single bloody affair. It covers the wedding chapel massacre in El Paso, the Bride's four-year coma, the knife fight in Vernita Green's kitchen, the trip to Okinawa for a Hattori Hanzō sword, the House of Blue Leaves, Budd's trailer, Pai Mei's temple and the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. The early questions are ones any fan will get: who plays the Bride, where she goes to find O-Ren, what the assassination squad is called. Later ones dig into the code names, the casting near-misses (Warren Beatty as Bill), the anime studio, the score, the Bruce Lee tracksuit, the Japanese and French films the plot echoes, and the sequel that never happened. Every answer has been checked against the Wikipedia articles on both films and on the Bride, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
