In "Kill Bill: Volume 1", the Bride (Uma Thurman) goes on a rampage hunt for the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen). The squad, led by Bill (David Carradine) attempted to kill the Bride and her unborn child.

The film, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is highly regarded for its cinematographic qualities, soundtrack and fight scenes. Though some were ultimately put off by the influx of gore showcased in the movie, "Kill Bill: Volume 1" was nominated for several awards, including a Golden Globe nomination of Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for Uma Thurman’s portrayal of the Bride in 2004. The film was also nominated for five British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA).
