volume 1

Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a 2003 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, based on a story by him and Uma Thurman. It stars Thurman as the Bride, who swears revenge on a team of assassins (Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and Vivica A. Fox) and their leader, Bill (David Carradine), after they try to kill her. Her journey takes her to Tokyo, where she battles the yakuza.
Tarantino conceived Kill Bill as a homage to grindhouse cinema, including martial arts films, samurai cinema, blaxploitation, and spaghetti Westerns. It features an anime sequence by Production I.G. Volume 1 is the first of two Kill Bill films made in a single production; they were planned as a single release, but with a runtime of over four hours, was divided in two. Volume 2 was released six months later.
Volume 1 was theatrically released in the United States on October 10, 2003. It received positive reviews and grossed over $180 million on a $30 million budget, achieving highest-grossing opening weekend of a Tarantino film up to that point.
