Tarintino, an obvious Bruce Lee fan paying homage to the success of asian cinema with Kill Bill, has the vindicated "Game of Death" incarnation of Lee, deafeating the discriminated "Black Mask" version of Lee. This was due to the anti-Asian Hollywood at the time as Kato usually had to wear his black mask and did not get many lines or close ups with his mask off. Bruce Lee's was not succesful in the US, he was snubbed for the lead role in the Kung Fu TV series for David Carradine (Bill).

These two homages to Bruce Lee's work combine in the Crazy 88 fight to pit Bruce Lee's first screen incarnation (Kato) against his last (Game of Death). The accompanying music during the en-masse swordfight is also a nod to the series, which used Al Hirt's jazzy trumpet rendition of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" as its theme.

The "Ironside" theme music was written by Quincy Jones. The siren-like musical sequence denoting The Bride's encounters with her nemesis is from the theme of police drama Ironside (TV series), starring Raymond Burr as a detective who is confined to a wheelchair after a sniper attack. Near the end of the opening credits, a silhouette evokes Citizen Kane. It is written as "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid".

The earliest known use of the proverb in print is from the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1782) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Hot as you are, you're liable to end up with indigestion." However the origin of the proverb is difficult to determine, possibly Sicilian, Spanish or Pashtun. Lee Van Cleef's character paraphrases the quote saying, "Somebody once wrote that revenge is a dish that has to be eaten cold. It is also used in the Spaghetti Western Death Rides a Horse (1968) (Kill Bill used music from Death Rides a Horse).

"Revenge is a dish best served cold.- Old Klingon Proverb" – This proverb as it is referenced is from Star Trek VI, as well as Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Halicki.

But that's part of the mythology I would only go into if I wrote a book." This is significant in that 4 in Japanese (shi) is a homophone for death, and is considered a very unlucky number.

In Japan, it is most often associated with the 88-temple Shikoku pilgrimage; While some critics have tried to argue that there are not actually eighty-eight members of the group, this has been contradicted by an interview given by Quentin Tarantino to Eiga HIHO magazine, "because O-Ren is half-Chinese and half-Japanese, so is her army.

The "Color Cut" of this film segment is highly sought after by fanatical US Kill Bill fans, but is still currently unavailable outside Japan (other than through legally-questionable internet sharing).
