since this board isnt active right now i was wondering if someone could answer my question....i apologize if this has already been brought up answered...anyways i was wondering...Why did the bride carry with her a knive instead of her hattori hanzo sword when she fought vernitta green?
I asked that question as well. I wonder if its an honor thing by killing with her opponents weapon of choice. Vernitta was the knife expert so she used a knife. She used a sword against the others because thats what they used (even Budd use to fight with a sword).

no she had it...when she kills her she crosses out vernita and vernita was the second on her list...before her she killed O-ren ishii...its all a weird way QT directs his movies...
Who wants to sword fight in a tiny house anyway? Of course, her fight with Elle was in a smaller place, but that was kind of a last resort/ only choice kind of thing.
In reality, though, it probably isn't that kind of matter at all. Tarantino probably didn't have her fight Vernita with the sword because she would get the sword later in the movie. If he showed the sword right then, then it wouldn't be as climactic when she got it in the Hattori Hanzo scene. Either that or it is jsut easier to follow that way

If you can recall, when Vernita Green offers the "Bride" coffee she says that Vernita quit the DVAS or the Deadly Viper Assasination Squad four years after the attack on the "Bride." Vernita probably, if she had a sword, sold it or destroyed it.
HOPE I HELPED.

and how obvious would it be if you saw someone walking around the burbs with a samari sword? oh and that "stop fighting and hide it from the kid thing" wouldn't have worked with a 5 foot blade

I am aware that "your" should be "you're," and while I know I should change it as not to offend the grammar fans around the boards, school always said not to bow to peer pressure so it stays as it is
Remember, too, that the Bride didn't even pull her knife until after Vernita pulled one from the kitchen. I think that, as a trained assassin, the Bride went into the situation knowing that she was going to kill Vernita with whatever happened to be handy (her fists & feet, a table leg, etc), and that her knife was a handy backup.

Something just occurred to me, though; why wasn't Vernita more prepared for the Bride's arrival, especially since the Bride had just very publicly taken out O-ren? You'd think she would have had a shotgun by the door, like Budd (although she would've had to have hidden it in a large vase or something, for Nicki's sake).
