Introduction

This movie guide lists a wide range of movies that have inspired Kill Bill (both Volumes). It provides cover/poster images, links to buy them and the information on how they influenced Kill Bill or how those movies are somehow linked to it as well. These movies are not listed in order.

Kill Bill has often been described as a movie geek's movie i.e. a movie for people who know all the various genres and films that are referenced. A movie for people who'll shout out in excitement "Ah, that shot's from a Leone film! did you see that?!". Of course Kill Bill is entertaining for everybody regardless. But you definitely get the movie-encyclopedic kick out of it if you know what's behind Kill Bill. Me and the community have done research and what follows is a comprehensive list (to be extended) of movies that likely inspired Kill Bill or are references to where the ideas may have came from. Kill Bill was inspired by a lot of different genres and films. (Not all movies listed here are 'officially' movies that inspired Kill Bill. Movies that aresimilar or might have a connection to Kill Bill are also listed. Most of these movies are community input)
