Lionsgate has officially confirmed that Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

For those who have only seen the split versions, this release is a revelation. It stands as the final argument that Tarantino’s homage to grindhouse cinema, martial arts flicks, and Spaghetti Westerns is one of the most ambitious films of the 21st century.

Includes longer sequences of limb removals and blood spray.

"Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" is a two-part martial arts film that follows Beatrix "Black Mamba" Kiddo (Uma Thurman), a former assassin and member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. After being betrayed by her former teammates and left for dead, Kiddo sets out on a quest for revenge against her enemies.

In the original U.S. theatrical release of Vol. 1 , the climactic battle between The Bride (Uma Thurman) and the Crazy 88s switched to black-and-white midway through to secure an R-rating. This was a stylistic choice that worked, but it muted the visceral nature of the scene. For The Whole Bloody Affair , Tarantino has restored the sequence in full color. The result is a blood-soaked masterpiece of choreography that feels more dangerous and immediate. The arterial sprays are vibrant and unflinching, removing the safety net of the desaturated image.

For the last decade, the closest you can get to a physical is via high-quality fan-preservation projects. The most famous is the "Sunshine" edit (named after the fan editor).
