Quentin Tarantino has always envisioned Kill Bill as a singular film rather than two separate installments. However, due to its runtime exceeding four hours, it was commercially divided into Volume 1 and Volume 2 for its initial release. This long-awaited copy, which has been preserved for years, has had limited screenings in the past, including a special showing at Cannes in 2006 and earlier this year at the Vista Cinema in Los Angeles.

On December 5, Lionsgate distributed Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, which combines both volumes, providing additional content not found in the original releases. The film was made available in traditional cinema formats of 70 mm and 35 mm, aligning with Tarantino's preference for viewing experiences in a theater setting. This release showcases Tarantino's dedication to presenting his work as he originally intended, with the full narrative and stylistic elements intact.

The French distributor BF Paris has announced that pre-sales for The Whole Bloody Affair will begin on February 19, hinting at a broader international reach for this iconic film. Fans of Tarantino's work and cinephiles alike are expected to welcome this extended version, as it not only celebrates the artistry of Kill Bill but also offers a new opportunity for audiences to experience the epic tale of revenge in its entirety on the big screen.
