Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair arrives on digital Feb. 17

Quentin Tarantino’s four-and-a-half-hour cut of Kill Bill — The Whole Bloody Affair — is coming to digital retailers on Feb. 17. The combined version reached cinemas last December, and Apple TV currently lists it for pre-order at $19.99, while most other digital retailers have not yet posted listings.

Kill Bill follows Beatrix Kiddo, the Bride (Uma Thurman), an assassin who tries to leave her profession and her boss, Bill, after learning she is pregnant. Her former allies ambush her on Bill’s orders, leaving her for dead; she awakens from a coma years later and begins a revenge tour that saves Bill for last.

The film was originally conceived as a single movie but was released as Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The Kill Bill films enjoy strong fan appreciation but were never nominated for an Oscar like the director's other works, such as Inglourious Basterds or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
