20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 1

1. O-Ren Foreshadows Her Own Demise

Kill Bill Vol 1
Miramax

At the start of the Bride's final battle with O-Ren, O-Ren tells her, "you might not last five minutes," which ends up being prophetic yet not quite in the way she intended.

From the moment that O-Ren draws her sword to the moment that the Bride delivers the final killing blow, a total of 4 minutes and 43 seconds have passed. It was O-Ren herself who couldn't quite make it to five minutes, despite putting up one hell of a fight.

Considering that so many movies treat time in a totally fluid and nonsensical manner, it's always neat to see references like this that actually line up. The Bride didn't last five minutes... because she didn't need to.
