Quentin Tarantino spends a lot of time building up to the reveal of The Bride's real name in the Kill Bill movies. Throughout the entirety of the first film and in the beginning of the second film it is bleeped out.

But in Kill Bill Vol. 2, after The Bride's backstory is finally revealed in full and we are re-introduced to her as a full-fledged character and not just a blind, raging killing machine, her name is revealed to be... Beatrix Kiddo. However, for the astute observers and possessors of the DVD, Tarantino slipped in a little hint of things to come: The Bride's name can actually be seen on the plane ticket she receives before flying to Okinawa, for a fraction of a second.

Tarantino clearly harbors his own feelings towards these DVD-pausers, and left them another message later in the film on the sole of the Bride's shoe:
