Before they crossed blades, however, Elle admitted that she fatally poisoned Pai Mei in revenge for tearing out her eye. The two women stared each other down and finally engaged each other, locking swords in a test of strength.
Elle seemed confident that she could overpower the smaller Beatrix, but little did she know that Beatrix suddenly ripped out her remaining eye with a free hand.
Totally blind, Elle shrieked and stumbled backward into the bathroom, wildly writhing on the ground like an animal. Amid the chaos, Beatrix dropped the eyeball to the floor and squashed it with her bare foot as a final insult. As Elle continued her blind raving, Beatrix recovered her Hanzo sword and left, leaving her foe to suffer in the cabin. The film's end credits depict the names of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad as being crossed off a hit list, with the exception of Elle's, leaving a question mark over her name.
Her survival is unknown, as she was left blinded in a remote area and in a confined space with a Black Mamba snake. Though the California Mountain Snake is not a threat to humans, it is quite lethal to other snakes, as it specializes in ophiophagy, and has a high resistance to the venom of other snakes.
This accompanying the fact that Elle was picked as Kiddo's replacement in Bill's hierarchy of assassins suggests Elle was specifically called California Mountain Snake because she represented Bill's enforcer within the group itself.
Should any member get out of line, she could best any other member of the group if need be. From a production standpoint, Tarantino may have named this character in order to suggest that her character's demise was even less secured, also hinted at by the question mark placed by her name at the end credits of the film series.
She could return in a sequel, as a true California Mountain Snake could conceivably survive a black mamba's venom. If so, she could pose a threat to Kiddo in the future, as well as Kiddo's daughter.
Due to the nature of her name, some fans speculate that the Elle character may even be intended to best the Kiddo character, as a California Mountain Snake could possibly kill a black mamba though this is merely speculation, as Tarantino has never hinted at such an event happening in a sequel.
Not only could her code name have been chosen for the aforementioned reasons, but it could have also been chosen to better describe the personality of the character. Elle has no problem with the killing of Pai Mei or Budd, or killing Kiddo, even when Kiddo was comatose. She asks Budd about the name of the gravestone under which Kiddo is buried and writes it down.
Elle then asks Bill's brother if she can look at the sword and Budd asks if his money is in her suitcase. When Elle confirms this, Budd replies that the sword now belongs to Elle and that she can therefore of course look at it. She takes the sword in awe and asks Budd about his own Hanzo sword. According to his own statement, he gave this up a long time ago. He offers Elle another drink that she accepts. Budd then sits down and asks Elle if she, now that her rival Kiddo is dead, is relieved or disappointed since she now has nothing to cling to.
Elle claims to feel both, but Budd dismisses it as a lie. He then sits down at the table to open the case that contains his money. When he does this, he laughs with joy at the many bundles of money inside the suitcase, but the joy doesn't last long because there is a black mamba in the suitcase that bites him several times.
When Budd jumps up in panic and knocks the suitcase over, Elle looks on calmly. As the poison slowly takes effect and Budd goes down, Elle reveals that the snake is a black mamba. While Budd dies, Elle reads him some facts about the Black Mamba. She also reveals that she is very disappointed that the brilliant warrior died at the hands of a failure like Budd.
After Budd's death, Elle collects the money scattered on the floor in her suitcase. Meanwhile, Bill calls her and takes the opportunity to tell him that Budd was killed by Kiddo and that she avenged him. She tells him that he should go to Paula Schultz's grave if he ever wants to find Kiddo's body. While Elle wants to leave the caravan, she is suddenly kicked out by Beatrix and pushed back into the caravan.
Due to the limited space inside the caravan, Elle cannot pull the sword out of its sheath. Inside the caravan, there is a duel between the two rivals, in which Beatrix accidentally finds the second Hattori Hanzo sword hidden by Budd - which he therefore did not mock.
During the fight, almost all of the furniture inside the caravan breaks and Beatrix can briefly overwhelm Elle and tries to drown her in the toilet. However, Elle can free herself and flees back to the main room, where she draws Kiddo's sword. Kiddo in turn pulls Budd's sword to defend himself. Before the fight comes, Beatrix mentions that she has always been interested in what exactly Elle said to Pai Mei so that he tore her eye out.
Elle reveals it to Kiddo and adds that she murdered Pai Mei for it. Budd, I'd like to introduce my friend, the black mamba. Black mamba, this is Budd. Budd : So, which "R" you filled with? Budd : They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got a job to do, they tend to live a little longer so they can do it. I've always figured that warriors and their enemies share the same relationship. So, now that you're not gonna have to face your enemy no more on the battlefield, which "R" ya filled with: Relief - or Regret?
Elle Driver : A little bit of both. Budd : Horse shit. I'm sure you do feel a little bit of both. But I know damn well you feel one more than you feel the other. The question was, which one is it? Elle Driver : Regret. Elle Driver : Okay, I'm leaving now, go smoke some pot or something. I'll be there soon. Sign In. Kill Bill: Vol. Showing all 31 items.

It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. This seems to imply to me that Elle was bitten to death by her own snake, but I'm not sure if that's certain.
Was there some confirmation from creative crew, screenplay, other material over whether Elle died and exactly how? It is very clear that Elle did indeed die in the original script - but the film does not show her death, although it is implied by the sighting of the black mamba.
The effect is that Elle Driver is a balloon and her life is escaping before both their very eyes. And now looking across at each other, the two women see the other for the first time, not as adversaries, or opponents, or as rivals, or as bitches Elle no longer has enough life in her to stand up She falls to her knees in front of The Bride Her blood runs down The Bride's leg. As she passes on, Elle gently wraps her arms around the Bride's leg. The Bride's hands go down to Elle's long blonde hair, and begins gently stroking it, easing her pain as she expires.
As you can see, this is markedly different from the final film.
