Perhaps the most highly anticipated film of 2003,
Kill Bill Vol. 1 marked the return of renowned filmmaker
Quentin Tarantino after a six-year hiatus. Re-teaming the director with
Uma Thurman for the first time since 1994's
Pulp Fiction, the film was originally the first half of what was to be a three-hour-plus movie before being split into two films.
Thurman stars as
The Bride, one-fifth of a team of assassins called DiVAS. When
The Bride opts to leave the outfit for a life of marital bliss, it doesn't sit well with her boss,
Bill (
David Carradine), so he has her former cohorts, played by
Lucy Liu,
Vivica A. Fox,
Daryl Hannah, and
Michael Madsen, show up at the nuptials, leaving behind a blood bath. Miraculously,
The Bride survives a bullet to the head and, four years later, she sets out for revenge against her four assassins and their employer. The story is concluded in
Kill Bill Vol. 2, released six months later.
