Yeah, that's the only glaring flaw that truly stuck out and I'm surprised noone else has touched on this.

Spoiler:
when lucy lui's character chops off his head, it flies diagonally to the other side of the table. Noone at the table touched the head. After Lucy gives her don't f**k with me speech, she lifts up the head with her right hand. Now, unless Sofie or Go Go quietly picked up the head and handed it to lucy, or the head rolled over to her by a good 10-15 feet, that scene just doesn't make sense.

from imdb regarding mistakes
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The many continuity lapses and other apparent technical errors are a matter of deliberate stylistic choice in this pastiche of 1970s "B" action movies.

Regarding the official Kill Bill shoes:

Do they have the "F*** U" version?
Good question, I was wondering that too. I've only seen side view pics of the shoes, so I don't know. That would be cool though.

she's (Chiaki Kuriyama) said in interviews that she doesnt shave down there...coincedence?
That must have been an interesting interview. It was true at one time at least. Someone on another forum posted some tasteful nudes from Chiaki's modeling days that proved it.

Ok, just made another geeky observation. While looking at the screencaps of Sophie in the trunk I noticed that she wasn't really in the trunk of a 300ZX when she got her other arm sliced off, since you can see the license plate in the picture. I had a Z and the plate was recessed at the bottom of the bumper, which would make it impossible to see from above.

The license plate on Bill's Jeep is THX1139.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I think I have a new favorite scene from the movie.



Stupid details like the tongue hanging out just get to me

Not only that, but the framing in that picture(as well as many others) is just so damn great.

The girl that plays Go-Go has her own web site, the broken English is stereotypically funny. (It has her email listed there, too.)

- I thought the same thing after the first time I saw the film. Other posters have given possibilities like: Buck might have been in charge of the coma ward, and the patients wouldn't have needed a hell of a lot of care, so I guess its remotely possible that 13 hours could go by without anyone noticing. Again, maybe you have to throw logic out of the window and enjoy the film

isn't it that cops don't exist in tarantino's world (and they are courupt if there are any)

Except in Reservoir Dogs, when they aren't "real people".

Looks like he's just waiting for Uma to come over and sit on his face.

And that web site would be....... (a little help here? )

Rypro, is that first paragraph a quote from me? Because I read it and started to think "Say, this sounds very familar. I think I said the same damn thing last week".

From: You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
In Reservoir Dogs White asks Pink if he shot any "real people" and Pink replies "No real people. Just cops."

Another thing: (U.S. cut)

Until recently, I never actually caught that there was a beep at 1:14:00 when O-Ren says The Brides real name.. I thought I was being sneeky in finding another moment in Vol 1 where you could find out her name, but alas, I was wrong.

Cool, thanks for the link.

BTW, Chiaki fans might be interested in knowing that a new DVD of her was just released in Japan yesterday. Not a movie, just one of those idol videos, but here it is anyway:

Thanks, Donnacha. I thought for some reason I had posted the link. Didn't mean to leave everyone hanging.
