50 Kill Bill Quotes From the Hit Quentin Tarantino Films

These Kill Bill quotes will bring you back to some epic scenes from the films!

If you are a Quentin Tarantino, martial arts film, or Uma Thurman fan, you have probably watched Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2. Did you know that they actually filmed both volumes at the same time, as the movie was planned as a single feature? However, with a run time of over four hours, producers split them, hence volumes 1 and 2!

Now, you might also wonder if there is going to be a Kill Bill Volume 3? Tarantino has said that the third installment would follow Nikki, Vernita Green’s daughter, and her quest for revenge against The Bride. It has been nearly two decades though, with Kill Bill Volume 1 coming out in 2003, and Volume 2 premiering in 2004, and there are no official plans to go ahead with the project.

That doesn’t mean it will never happen though, and Vivica A. Fox even has an actress in mind to portray Nikki… Zendaya! In the meantime, you can always re-watch the first two volumes and read through these Kill Bill quotes. If you haven’t seen it yet, you will want to by the time you get to the end of these!

What did you learn from these Kill Bill quotes?

Kill Bill is the quintessential Quentin Tarantino film, which is precisely why this movie is so good. Tarantino is known for doing several signature things in his films and Kill Bill has them all: the long sequences of dialogue, the extensive amount of detail his characters observe things with, unusual crimes, and his portrayal of violence. Kill Bill Volume 1 was Tarantino’s highest-grossing movie (coming in at more than $180 million), until Inglorious Basterds in 2009.

Kill Bill Volume 2 also received great reviews and did well at the box office. The films follow the story of a squad of assassins and a woman’s quest for revenge. There are many twists and turns throughout the film, that I won’t spoil in case you want to watch it and haven’t already. I will tell you to hold onto your swords though, cause it is a wild ride!
