I like many people had heard that you should stick through the credits when watching Kill Bill for something really cool after the final credits had rolled. I went to the theater the first time with a group of six, three wanted to go as soon as the credits started and the other three wanted to stay, knowing of this bonus goodie waiting for them. They tried to defend their wanting to stay (and a good half of the audience must have heard about this too, because they didn’t budge while everyone else left) and yet as the credits rolled to a close there was nothing to be seen, which prompted half of those remaining to yell at the other half remaining because they had to sit through the credits (is that really so bad?). I was one of those who said to stay, and of course I wanted to know what the big deal was.

Well apparently the preview version of the film had another clip after the film that was later incorporated into the film for the release version. I can only assume that this is the “twist” ending that appears right before the credits, and Quentin assumed that it would be better and more powerful if it were shown before the credits (since most people storm out anyway) and that it makes the ending a lot more dynamic. Oh well. Would have been nice if I had known this beforehand though.

By the way, if you haven’t yet seen Kill Bill, what the hell are you waiting for? A date? This brilliant movie calls for you. Don’t miss out!
