Beatrix Kiddo, also known as The Bride, is a fictional character in Quentin Tarantino's movie Kill Bill.
Bill, her former boss and lover, having tracked her down and found her pregnant and about to marry local record store owner Tommy Plympton, arranges for the Vipers to gate-crash the chapel and murder everyone inside.
Beatrix is brutally beaten by the Vipers and shot in the head by Bill, just as she tries to tell him he's the father of her child.

 Jessica's Kill Bill discussion   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The parallels between the life Beatrix (as "Arlene Plimpton") would have lived in El Paso and the life Vernita (as "Jeannie Bell") tries to live in LA are near-identical: both women are willing to put their pasts behind them and live as housewives, raising their daughters without a whisper of their pasts.
Bill asks Beatrix if she thought she could make her El Paso plan work and she, under his truth serum, shakes her head; but in the earlier wedding flashback, she is grateful that he has come to bid her goodbye.
Beatrix's days may be numbered and her daughter permanently warped, but she has rescued herself and her daughter from Bill.

 Kill Bill
Beatrix has several opportunities to simply off her mentor-turned-arch foe, but she must instead kill him in a manner worthy of his status as head syndicate boss.
Even when Beatrix is shot by Bill’s drunken, bushwhacking brother Budd and buried alive in a coffin, there is no doubt in our minds that our heroine will find a way to escape.
When Beatrix first discovers she is pregnant, she successfully pleads with a would-be assassin to put down her gun and leave in one very funny yet poignant scene.

 Vengeance Still Mine, Saith the Lethal Bride
Touché, Kiddo: David Carradine with Uma Thurman (the Bride a k a Black Mamba a k a Beatrix Kiddo).
Beatrix, who also takes on the nom de guerre Black Mamba, calls her journey "a roaring rampage of revenge." The movie is laden with lurid, revved-up sadism; as visited upon the heroine, it's the kind of violence most often associated with prefeminist exploitation pictures in which the attacks often had a sexual charge.
"The Longest Night." Beatrix's subjection to one particular violation — the one trap that you think she won't be able to fight her way out of — is a devastatingly underplayed scene; it's about the danger she hears rather than sees.

The difference between Beatrix Kiddo and every Clint Eastwood there ever was is that all the male killers ran out of moral ammo before they ran out of bullets.
Kiddo finally rescues herself from the pit of doom which seems to put Tarantino's film on the verge of folding in on itself and backing out of a narrative sideways.

To back-story a bit, a very pregnant Beatrix was left for dead on her wedding day and came to vivid life four years later with revenge coursing through her veins.
After annihilating two of the assassins sent by Bill to destroy her, Beatrix was bent on snaking her way through the homicidal pecking order.
Flashbacks detail Beatrix's painful assassin training under the tutelage of Master Pai Mei (Gordon Liu) and the sanguineous chapel blues that were the final act of her attempt to leave a life of bloodshed behind her.

Trivia: The dialogue from the movie Shogun Assassin (1980) which Beatrix and B.B. watch, is featured on the Wu-Tang Clan member GZA's album "Liquid Swords".
Beatrix's Kung-Fu training sequences with Master Pai Mai might be considered by many, the high point of the film.
The final twenty minutes of the movie fully justify the term `awesome.' At the point Beatrix finally confronts Bill, no-one in the audience would be expecting to see what they do.

The pregnant bride was left comatose with a bullet in her brain, and the man behind the massacre, Bill (David Carradine), was both her former boss and the man she once loved.
Beatrix's underground imprisonment triggers a flashback to her apprenticeship under imperious, white-bearded martial-arts master Pai Mei (veteran Shaw Brothers kung-fu star Gordon Liu), whose harsh training nearly broke her spirit but gave her the skills to survive almost anything — even internment.
With Budd and Elle in her dirt-caked sights, Beatrix prepares to take on her final and most dangerous target, unaware that she's about to come face-to-face with evidence of the magnitude of Bill's betrayal, which exceeds her bitterest imaginings.

 Scout.com: TMQB: "The Anti-Report Card"
Beatrix (“Black Mamba”;) Kiddo is the group’s franchise player, until she mysteriously disappears.
Bill thinks he has taken care of Beatrix once and for all, save the off-chance she’ll ever awaken from the coma he put her in by “popping a cap in her crown”, which proves to be a MAJOR tactical error on his part.
Upon awakening from a four-year “Big Sleep” (any similarity to the Seahawks’ defense is purely coincidental…), Beatrix is understandably less than pleased at the rough treatment she received at the hands of her former sensei (and lover).

 Kill Bill Vol 2
In the film’s most exciting scene, Elle and Beatrix go head to head in a trailer, in what amounts to a knockdown, drag-out catfight that nearly annihilates both.
This is great physical movie acting, obviously incredibly rigorous and difficult to perform and a career-high for usually uncomfortable Hannah.
When Beatrix does finally get face time with Bill, Tarantino hooks us by offering a surprisingly compelling variation on storybook domestic bliss, tinged with the ever-present threat of violence.

It all explains her Name "Beatrix Kiddo", which could be heard as Be-a-Trix-Kiddo.

She discovers the kid she thought was toast is very much alive, so we get to see mother love and animal rage mixed together in one person, complicating her character and striking a chord of emotional recognition.
As we learn in KB 2, Beatrix left Bill because she didn't want to raise their child in the toxic world of hit men and contract killings.
These feelings grow in KB 2 -- even though Beatrix wants to kill him, Bill allows his former squeeze to find out exactly where he is so he can see her one last time before they duke it out.

Tarantino gives good value with a smackdown between the Amazonian blondes Beatrix and Elle in Budd's ramshackle trailer, but the real classic sequence - alone worth the price of admission - has Budd shooting Beatrix in the chest with salt pellets, then burying her alive in a coffin.
Less gripping, if still fairly amusing, is a protracted flashback in which Beatrix is tutored in the marital arts - and systematically humiliated - by Pai Mei, an aged Chinese Yoda figure played by Hong Kong stalwart Gordon Liu, who played an assassin in "Vol.

 Thomas Hibbs on Kill Bill Vol. 2 on National Review Online
The second volume brings to a close the quest for vengeance undertaken by Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), an assassin working for Bill whose attempt to escape into domestic bliss is rudely interrupted at the altar by Bill and his squad of killers.
With a bullet in her head and her unborn child ripped from her womb, Beatrix is left for dead.
The opening flashback to the El Paso church, where a pregnant Beatrix prepares for her wedding, is remarkable for its cinematography and dialogue.

This includes her former mentor and lover Bill, who administers the killing stroke to Beatrix in the form of a bullet to the head, only for her to survive.
Kill Bill doesn't fail, not only because it had the Tarantino name attached to it, which obviously helped, but also because the character of Beatrix Kiddo is such a cool female character.

 Kill Bill Volume 2 (2004) Starring: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Daryl Hannah - Three Movie Buffs Review
Uma Thurman plays Beatrix Kiddo, a deadly assassin who tried to quit the biz when she became pregnant.
Upon awakening Beatrix, or the Bride as she is known for it was during her wedding rehearsal that Bill tried to kill her, began to seek revenge upon Bill and the other assassins in his employ.
I agree with Eric that the wedding massacre rehash should have been shorter and that the scene of Budd at the bar was completely unnecessary, but from the moment Beatrix gets buried alive the movie never falters until the end credits.
