Regarding a few comments about guns, I read in an interview (I came across when googling something about Hattori Hanzo, but I tried again recently and couldn't find the link) with QT and he explained how KB took place in his alternate universe, and though guns did exist and were widely used, the Samurai Sword was the weapon of choice, and owned by virtually everyone. Hence The Bride being able to bring her sword on the plane with her, walking with it into a Yakuza bar, etc.
As for Elle and Budd, I thought it was set up perfectly. I interpreted it like this: Elle basically fucked everything up by using the Black Mamba on Budd (which I suppose could be symbolic as the Bride taking her revenge on Budd anyway, as it was a Black Mamba, her namesake), but when Beatrix confronted her in the trailer, and plucked out Elle's eye, it was like all the pieces fell in place - the Pupil avenged Pai Mei's death by taking out her other eye, and most likely in the course of flailing around the trailer floor, she got bitten by the Black Mamba - again using symbolism of Beatrix's namesake, as well as the karma of Elle stealing the right of killing Budd from Beatrix. I dunno. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it.
