  KILL BILL: VOLUME 1 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a 2003 action film directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows "The Bride," a former assassin who is left for dead after a brutal massacre at her wedding rehearsal, orchestrated by her former team, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. She survives a four-year coma and embarks on a mission of vengeance against those who wronged her, including her former mentor, Bill. The film is a blend of martial arts, samurai, and revenge genres, featuring stylish violence, visually striking sequences, and elements of both Western and Eastern cinematic influences, all underpinned by Tarantino's signature storytelling. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The Bride’s iconic yellow outfit is an homage to Bruce Lee’s costume in his final film, Game of Death (1978)." 
    
  "The scene where the Bride splits a baseball in two with a samurai sword was filmed for real on set, with Zoë Bell, Uma Thurman’s stunt double, performing the stunt." 
    
  "Quentin Tarantino owns the 'Pussy Wagon' from Kill Bill and drove it as his daily vehicle to promote Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004). He even lent it for use in Missy Elliott’s music video for 'I’m Really Hot,' as well as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s 'Telephone' video." 
    
  "Over four hundred fifty gallons of fake blood were used for both Kill Bill movies, as revealed by special effects artist Christopher Allen Nelson."

  THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared universe of interconnected films, television series, and other media properties, based on Marvel Comics characters. Kevin Feige is a key figure in its development, having conceived the shared media universe and serving as the studio chief. Initially planned as a series of individual films that merged into crossovers, the MCU has expanded to include television event series, short films, and digital content, all contributing to an overarching narrative. The MCU's narrative is divided into phases, with the first three phases collectively known as "The Infinity Saga" and phases four through six known as "The Multiverse Saga". Marvel Studios has also created an animation branch to produce more animated content. The MCU has also expanded into other media, such as theme park attractions, exhibits, documentaries and books. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Marvel Cinematic Universe was initially referred to as the "Marvel Cinema Universe" by Kevin Feige before he changed the name. The shared narrative continuity expanded beyond just films to include other media. 
    
  Marvel Studios secured a $525 million revolving credit facility with Merrill Lynch to raise capital for their film projects. This funding enabled the studio to plan individual films for main characters that would eventually merge into crossover movies. 
    
  Avi Arad, who resigned from Marvel in 2006, doubted the shared universe strategy would work, and felt it was his reputation that secured the initial financing. He did not believe that individual films would be successful.
