Kill Bill Vol 2

14. Il Tramonto

The musical cue "Il Tramonto" (The Sundown) plays when Bill shows up at Beatrix's wedding. This music was originally used in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, and plays melancholically when we're first introduced to another villainous character: Angel Eyes "The Bad" Sentenza.

13. The Searchers

The shot that frames The Bride in the doorway during her wedding in the desert is reminiscent of a shot from John Ford's The Searchers, which similarly frames John Wayne in the doorway of a house.
