Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

Although i’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino’s films, I think the Kill Bill films, Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards are classics. And out of these three films my favourite is Kill Bill but unfortunately there is some debate online on whether the new edit will be released on one 4k disc.

The two films with extra anime sequences will be released as one continuous 275 minute film on February 17th, 2026 on Apple TV. But a 4k disc can hold four hours of content. And although compression can add a few minutes to this content, it would result in lower picture quality.

It may be worth your while to just pre-purchase the online release for $19.99 if you have high speed internet and room on a hard drive for backup to play it locally. And the 4k discs for the first and second instalment of Kill Bill are also currently 20% off at Amazon Canada, which may be more to your liking. But personally I’m curious to see what Liongate does with the new cut.

Will they have some a better compression scheme? Or will they release a special boxed set with two discs, with the extras?

I’m a fan of physical formats and have learned from my small vinyl collection to not sell when upgrading, so I have most of the compact discs and DVDs I’ve purchased in storage.

I still listen to my mp3 player and recordings I’ve ripped in high quality decades back, only streaming to hear new recordings (which I usually purchase and download).

Yeah, this post isn’t technically about music, although I do like their soundtracks. But I also think people should hold on to their hard copies, whether it’s music, film or television.
