About Kill Bill

Directed and written by Quentin Tarantino (with a bit of writing assistance by the film's star Uma Thurman), Kill Bill was a film released in two volumes. In typical Tarantino style, the plot is both action driven (with many brutal and intricately choreographed scenes a homage to Asian martial arts/revenge films) and dialogue driven, with many memorable quotes that help to create complex and well-rounded characters.

The two separate films chronicled the story of The Bride, Beatrix Kiddo who was initially part of a Deadly Viper Assassination squad. After becoming pregnant by the group's charismatic and deadly leader, Bill, The Bride runs off and attempts to start a new life. The gang catches up with her, kills her entire bridal party, and leaves Beatrix for dead. Years later, she awakes from her coma, bent on revenge on those from her old gang who would have killed her.

Dressing up as Kill Bill

No matter who your favorite character from the Kill Bill saga may have been, there are several ladies' costumes for you to choose from to get your bad n' beautiful on! Dress as Uma Thurman's tough survivor, Beatrix Kiddo with her Bruce Lee/Game of Death styled yellow jumpsuit that {Kill Bill's Bride}. Square off against the villainous one-eyed Elle Driver as portrayed by Daryl Hannah in her nurse's uniform with a white eye patch with a red cross. Accompany either costume with a long blonde wig to complete the look.

Other villainesses from the film that you can dress as are Lucy Liu's ruthless Chinese/Japanese/American Yakuza leader, O-Ren Ishii with her white kimono or O-Ren's brutal bodyguard, the highly lethal 17 year old Japanese schoolgirl, Go Go Yubari dressed in a traditional schoolgirl outfit.

Pick up a plastic samurai sword to complete your look and recreate scenes from the films. It's no Hatori Hanzo sword, but then again, what is?
