Hateful Eight Proved How Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Could Work

screenrant.com:

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill was edited for content and length prior to its theatrical run, but Netflix's The Hateful Eight: Extended Version proves the earlier filmcould finally be shown in its unedited glory. The initial release of Kill Bill was split into two volumes for logistical reasons, and the famous Crazy 88 fight scene was largely presented in black and white to avoid an NC-17 rating. There is a complete cut of both Kill Bill volumes presented as one movie called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, but aside from a handful of screenings, it has never seen a proper release.

Tarantino's The Thing-inspired The Hateful Eight had a limited «roadshow» theatrical run in 2015, which featured much of the footage seen in the Extended Version, and the episodic Netflix special adds even more footage. Tarantino has also expressed interest in doing the same limited-series format for his latest film Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. That film's deleted scenes and novelization demonstrate that there is plenty of content left to be seen. Tarantino is eager to show audiences as much of his creations as possible, and he should turn his focus next to one of his earlier hits, Kill Bill.

If Netflix gave Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair the same treatment as The Hateful Eight, the complete saga could finally be available in a wide release. Like The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill is already split into chapters, which would make its transition into a mini-series with 20-40 minute episodes seamless. Kill Bill also has cut content—including a fight scene with the legendary Michael Jai White—that can be added into the already epic revenge saga.
