The potential reason behind 'Kill Bill: The Entire Violent Saga' never receiving a home video release
In a world where streaming platforms and home video releases dominate the entertainment landscape, one film remains stubbornly elusive - Quentin Tarantino's extended cut of Kill Bill, titled Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
This 258-minute masterpiece, which includes an intermission, has only been shown a handful of times, primarily at Tarantino's Vista Theater in Los Angeles and a few select venues since its Cannes premiere in 2006. A recent two-week run at the Vista Theater in July was a rare treat for fans.
The film's exclusivity is no accident. Tarantino, who now owns the rights to The Whole Bloody Affair, has stated that he did not want to release it until he had complete control over its presentation. He believes that the need to wait for screenings makes the viewing experience special.
One of the notable differences between The Whole Bloody Affair and the original Kill Bill volumes lies in the removal of the final scene of Part 1. This change reveals that the Bride's daughter is alive at the same time as the Bride, near the end of the film, creating a more impactful gut punch.
Despite the incomplete versions circulating online, the film has not received a home release as of August 2025. Tarantino has indicated no plans for a standard home video or streaming release. Recent attempts to create "timed edition releases" seem more like tributes than a true home release.
As for the future, Tarantino's plan for The Whole Bloody Affair is unclear. However, he may show it in other theaters in the future. For those who want to experience this unique take on Kill Bill, the best way to stay informed is to follow the schedules for the Vista Theater and the New Beverly, both owned by Tarantino.
