Opening to Kill Bill Vol 1


A simple, but effective opening; It shows a close up zoom of a badly injured woman on the floor, her face covered in blood, who seems to be wearing a wedding dress and a veil on her head. She is struggling to breathe, which gives off a dangerous vibe in the room. Seconds into the opening, a man we do not see, but only hear, interrupts the silence. Suspecting he is a bad man, he mocks her, while she seems incapable of standing up, but is able to speak.


He carries on speaking to her, mocking her, then uses a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her face, and you notice on the corner of the handkerchief that it says the name “Bill”, we now know that the person that possibly hurt her is called Bill- which brings in the comparison of the movie title “Kill Bill”, she may be wanting revenge after what he possibly did to her.


At the end, you suddenly hear a gun noise, and see blood splatter right beside the woman’s head which ends the opening.
