The Whole Bloody Affair
The once mythical four-and-a-half-hour cut of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair was once relegated to fan edits, but Lionsgate and Quentin Tarantino would finally give fans a special gift for Christmas last year. The whole film, which merges together Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 with an added anime sequence and an intermission, finally reached movie theaters for special screenings. While Tarantino had given the impression that he had no intention of releasing this cut outside of cinemas, there has been a confirmation by Lionsgate that it will be getting a “very elaborate” 4K Blu-ray release sometime in 2026.
Surprise! Apple lists it for February!
For those who have been perusing their Apple TV streaming app will see that the platform has added a date to the page for the film. So, unless this is some mistake made by programmers, Apple TV lists Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair for digital release on February 17, 2026 and you now have the option to pre-order the film for $19.99.
The action epic
“I wrote and directed it as one movie—and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie,” Tarantino said in a statement around its theatrical release. “The best way to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is at a movie theater in Glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!“ The description of the theatrical release reads: “Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic—presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new, never-before-seen anime sequence. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and stealing her unborn child. To exact her vengeance, she must first hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself. With its operatic scope, relentless action, and iconic style, The Whole Bloody Affair stands as one of cinema’s definitive revenge sagas—rarely shown in its complete form and now presented with a classic intermission.“
The film stars Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Michael Parks, Daryl Hannah, Sonny Chiba, Chiaki Kuriyama, and many more.
