* The House Of Falling Leaves scene itself. A visually stunning 20 minute fight scene that plays out like a "History of ''X''" video for the martial arts genre, including a one on one showdown with Gogo, one of the more [[TheFakeCutie memorable]] [[TheDragon dragons]] in cinema, a demonstration of the ConservationOfNinjutsu against dozens of foes simultaneously and their MookLieutenant, a surreal manga-esque scene viewed entirely as backlit silhouettes, and more HighPressureBlood than the Red Cross below sea level.

** Honestly the fact that Budd, the soft-spoken brother of Bill and probably the most sympathetic of all the Vipers, takes down The Bride so easily compared to the others. No epic fight or anything. He doesn't even take out his sword! He just shoots her with a clip full of rock-salt and buries her alive without getting a scratch.

-->I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God, 28 years ago, to never do again. I've created "something that kills people", and in that purpose, I was a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego: this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut.

* More moments than this Troper can count. Standouts include [[spoiler: Hattori Hanzo formally presenting the Bride with her katana- "God himself would be cut." ]] and [[spoiler:The Bride punching her way out of the coffin in which Budd buried her alive, then proceeding to walk across the street still covered in dirt to an all-night diner, and calmly asking the man at the counter for a glass of water.]]
* The Bride trying to land a hit on Pai Mei, which he avoids and counters with ease.
** "From here, you can get an excellent view of my foot."
* Pretty much any and every fight in the film. Notably the battle with the Crazy 88. Also, Elle's monologue to Budd and [[spoiler:Bill's Superman speech at the film's conclusion.]]
** Special mention to the Tomb Escape scene. Who would have though that a movie about slicing people could have such a beautiful, artistic scene? [[spoiler: The Bride is buried alive by Budd, to escape she punches the wood of the coffin until it breaks and pulls her way to the ground, all this perfectly synchronized to SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic and after an interesting flashback pertaining the Bride's past and determination.]]
