Normally, I would (unlike a lot of people, much to my chagrine) make a descriptive thread title but this question will be a spoiler to those who have not already seen
Kill Bill vol.2. So, consider this your warning! If you haven't seen the movie and want to, I recommend not continuing with this thread!
My question is...
Spoiler:
Why did Elle kill Budd? I mean, her first conversation with Budd where she wanted her death to be drawn out and painful clearly showed that she had no love for the Bride, but then she appears to have killed Budd because he killed the Bride in a disgraceful and insulting manner. What's up with that?
...also...
Spoiler:
I had always wondered why Budd seemed so remorseful over what he did to the Bride that he was prepared for his death but then, when it came down to it, turned around and tried to kill her in such a sadistic manner. Where was the remorse, then? What's up with that?
Perhaps, there's a clue in his line "We deserve to die--but then, so does she..."
Actualy, Vilkata had a good theory in another thread but I wanted to get more other people's ideas, too.
...and finally...
Spoiler:
Why would Pai Mei teach the Bride the Five Point Exploding Heart technique? That was never explained in the movie and there was no evident affection between the two...
