Description: The story of *Kill Bill: Vol. 2* continues the saga of The Bride, a former assassin seeking revenge. During her wedding rehearsal, Bill, her ex-lover and leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, arrives unexpectedly. He orders the assassination of everyone present, including The Bride, who is pregnant. Bill shoots her in the head, but she survives and vows revenge.
Four years later, The Bride has already eliminated two members of the Deadly Vipers: O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green. She tracks down Budd, Bill’s brother and a former Viper, planning to ambush him. However, Budd, warned by Bill, incapacitates her with a non-lethal shotgun blast of rock salt, sedates her, and seals her in a coffin, burying her alive. He then contacts Elle Driver, another Viper, to sell The Bride’s prized sword for $1 million.
In a flashback, Bill tells The Bride about the legendary martial arts master Pai Mei and his lethal Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, a deadly move Mei rarely teaches. Bill takes her to Mei’s temple for training. Though Mei initially mocks and torments her, she eventually earns his respect. Using Mei’s techniques, The Bride escapes the coffin and surfaces to continue her quest for vengeance.
Elle arrives at Budd’s trailer, kills him, and informs Bill that she has supposedly killed The Bride, revealing her real name: Beatrix Kiddo. As Elle leaves, Beatrix ambushes her, and the two engage in a brutal fight. Elle, also trained by Mei, taunts Beatrix by revealing she poisoned Mei in retaliation for him plucking out her eye. Enraged, Beatrix plucks out Elle’s remaining eye and leaves her to die with the black mamba.
The film culminates in a tense confrontation between Beatrix and Bill, as she finally comes face-to-face with the man who betrayed her and shattered her life.
