Kill Bill: The Whole Body Affairs will reach theatres in early December 2025 with a bonus scene included. The combined cut joins the two original films into one continuous presentation. Lionsgate announced the rollout on October 1, 2025 and set a December 5, 2025 release date for select cinemas. Quentin Tarantino issued a statement that he wrote and directed it as one movie and that he was glad fans could see it as one movie. The full film runs for about four hours and seven minutes from start to finish.
The presentation removes the first film's cliffhanger and the second film's recap at the start. The release will add a seven-and-a-half-minute animated sequence focused on O-Ren Ishii. The sequence was produced in Japan and was completed before this release. Lionsgate will distribute the film in major markets and will publish ticketing information through theatre chains.
Kill Bill: The Whole Body Affairs brings both films together
Kill Bill: The Whole Body Affairs is presented as a single project. The combined presentation stitches Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into one timeline. It removes the Vol. 1 cliffhanger and the Vol. 2 recap. That change creates a continuous narrative between scenes. The combined cut runs for roughly four hours and seven minutes and includes an intermission in many screenings.
