Kill Bill: Vol. 2 - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts

According to The Kill Bill Diary (written by David Carradine), the movie that The Bride and her daughter would watch, was originally going to be Disney's The Aristocats (1970). When Disney wouldn't allow it, Quentin decided to have them watch an episode of the cartoon Samurai Jack (2001). But, the film featured in the final cut (or overheard, as we only see their faces as they watch), is Shogun Assassin (1980).

Early posters for this movie proclaimed it as "The Fifth Film by Quentin Tarantino". Subsequent posters have not used that blurb, while the film simply says "a film by Quentin Tarantino". Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) says "The 4th Film By Quentin Tarantino" at the beginning, and Volumes 1 and 2 are supposed to be considered one film. The fifth film by Quentin Tarantino was actually Death Proof (2007).

In an interview, Quentin Tarantino stated that there will be a Kill Bill: Vol 3, but it wouldn't happen for a decade, and he also discussed the possibility of a spin-off centering around Vernita Green's daughter Nikki, who seeks vengeance upon The Bride. The plot of Kill Bill: Vol 3 could possibly be about The Bride, who is forced to return to her former violent life, when Nikki Green kidnaps her daughter B.B., in order to lure The Bride into a deadly trap, and The Bride learns Nikki is not acting alone, and is working with Elle Driver, now a blind swordswoman.
