20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 2

During the final confrontation between Beatrix and Bill, watch and listen carefully as Bill sheaths the Hanzo sword and places it on the worktop behind him.

On the right-hand side of the screen a film is playing on the TV - the 1949 Roy Rogers Western The Golden Stallion - and as Beatrix descends the stairs, Bill slams the sheathed sword onto the worktop, just as a character in the film is punched square in the face.

The sound of the sheath hitting the worktop sounds rather similar to a punch and syncs up perfectly with the image in the movie. While this could conceivably have been a coincidence, it feels like the sort of weird, playful thing a film nerd like Tarantino would intentionally include.
