Clever Kill Bill Easter Egg Only Proves Just How Ingenious Tarantino Is

In the world of cinema, few films have captivated audiences quite like Kill Bill. Directed by the legendary Quentin Tarantino, this 2003 action masterpiece tells the story of a former assassin, known as The Bride, who embarks on a journey of revenge against her former colleagues who betrayed her and attempted to take her life on what should have been the happiest day of her life.

What sets Kill Bill apart from other films of its genre is Tarantino's unique and stylized approach to filmmaking.

With references to kung fu movies, spaghetti Westerns, and samurai films, the nonlinear narrative, with its use of flashbacks and flash-forwards, keeps the audience on the edge of their seats, never quite sure what is going to happen next.

Kill Bill is a film that has earned its status as a cult classic.

Even to this day fans of Tarantino's works keep finding some intriguing details that can be easily missed on the first watch. Every Tarantino's movie is full of references, allusions and metaphors.

One Reddit user shared an interesting detail they found in the ending of the second film.

When The Bride delivers the finishing strike to Bill, her arm takes on the appearance of a snake poised to strike, which might be a clever reference to her code name Black Mamba.

It's fitting that Bill meets his demise at the hands of a snake since someone who toys with such creatures is bound to fall victim to them.

Another fan pointed out that this technique is called North Star Five Finger Explosive Burst and is featured in an anime series Fist of the North Star from the 80s.

If this was an intentional reference to the Bride's code name, it only proves the genius that Tarantino is.

And if it isn't so, we should still agree that only true masterpieces can provoke thinking of what was actually intended by the creator even in such small details.

So, it is a big shame that the next Tarantino movie will probably be his last.
