20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 2

13. Elle's Eye Removal Is Foreshadowed

Kill Bill Volume 2

Here's one that seems blindingly obvious (sorry) in retrospect, and yet how many of us have ever actually noticed it?

The story's ninth chapter, where Beatrix has her fateful battle with Elle, is knowingly titled "Elle and I," which seems like a fitting enough name given their established, storied history.

But considering that the chapter sees Beatrix ultimately rip out Elle's remaining eye, in turn leaving her blind, there's clearly a little more to it than that.

As smart a filmmaker as Tarantino might be, even he's apparently not above a little basic punnery. But again, almost 20 years later and after god-knows-how-many viewings, it's still incredibly easily missed if you're not paying complete attention.
