Kill Bill: Volume 2

''Kill Bill: Volume 2'' is a 2004 American martial arts action film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Uma Thurman as the Bride, who continues her campaign of revenge against the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox, Lucy Liu, and Michael Madsen) and their leader Bill (David Carradine), who tried to kill her and their unborn child.

Tarantino conceived ''Kill Bill'' as an homage to low-budget cinema, including exploitation films, martial arts films, samurai cinema, blaxploitation and spaghetti westerns. ''Volume 2'' is the second of two ''Kill Bill'' films produced simultaneously; the first, ''Volume 1'', was released six months earlier. The films were set for a single release, but the film, with a runtime of over four hours, was divided in two.

''Volume 2'' received positive reviews and grossed $152.2 million worldwide on a production budget of $30 million. Tarantino had planned to make further ''Kill Bill'' films in the following years, but abandoned those plans by 2023. Like its predecessor, ''Volume 2'' is listed as one of the greatest martial arts films of all time and one of the best kung fu sequels of all time. Provided by Wikipedia
