20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 1

7. The "Special Message" On The Bottom Of The Bride's Shoe

Kill Bill Vol 1

Who can ever forget the incredible battle in the House of Blue Leaves, when the Bride battles O-Ren's squad of "elite" guards, the Crazy 88?

At the start of the fight, there's a memorable shot of the Bride walking towards the stairs from below through the glass floor, focusing on her Asics Onitsuka Tiger footwear.

Yet you probably didn't notice that the Bride's shoes have a very special message printed on the soles: "f**k u," written in a hyper-stylised font which makes it incredibly difficult to notice without hitting the pause button.

That's certainly a statement of intent, even if few of the Bride's enemies will ever actually get to see said message.
