Cuts and Additions:
The first 57 minutes of the original film have been deleted, with some of the scenes repurposed for Episode 4: The Gleam Of An Unsheathed Sword.
All flashbacks have been deleted.
Six new songs have been added, replacing various songs in the original film. Big thanks to @krausfadr for converting the stereo tracks I had into 5.1 tracks.
Start of the Volume 2 fan edit: The Bride is in the coffin.
New SFX of crickets prior to the camera going down to The Bride in the coffin. This audio has now been extended slightly, so that it starts when the black screen appears prior to the shot of the gravesite area.
Shortened coffin scene, which required rebuilding SFX, plus I added in new SFX of a heartbeat, which changes pace and intensity as the scene goes on.
Deleted the scene of The Bride going to the café after breaking out of the coffin.
All title or Act screens removed.
Shortened the scenes of The Bride walking through the desert, plus added in different music to the original film.
All conversations between Elle and Budd have been trimmed or cut for pacing.
Deleted the scene in the classroom, where The Bride’s name gets revealed.
Trimmed the phone conversation between Elle and Bill, in order to improve pacing.
Remove Elle saying “Gross!” during the confrontation with The Bride.
Trimmed the conversation during Elle & The Bride’s duel, plus removed the flashback to the scenes with Pai Mei.
As The Bride leaves the trailer, I have inserted some new music.
Repurposed one scene from Volume 1: The Bride asking for a plane ticket to Tokyo.
Almost all scenes of The Bride on the plane going to Japan have been removed, with some scenes used in Episode 4 instead.
Trimmed the scenes of O-Ren and her cadre travelling around Tokyo, on their way to the Blue Leaves club.
I have timed the music to better match the camera movements.
New SFX of The Bride on the Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, including some SFX recorded by @greenturnedblue
Blue Leaves club: trimmed the opening, as well as several scenes throughout the sequence, as well as removed some of the music. I relocated one song to a different part of the film, plus rebuilt SFX where necessary.
In some scenes, I retimed the visuals to more closely match the flow of the music.
Epic battle sequence with the Crazy 88’s: With thanks to @Wraith and @INIGHTMARES I have used the Japanese version of that part of the battle, with upscaled all-colour footage.
Removed Sophie saying "Gross"! after one of the Crazy 88's gets his eye removed.
Removed Sophie surviving at the end, and removed The Bride saying that she should stay where she is. I want to imply that she dies in this edit.
I have replaced one of the songs during the battle sequence.
Forced subtitles for the Japanese language section have been done to match the original text as closely as possible. I have also gone through the subtitles and made sure that spelling, grammar, punctuation and translations are as good as they can be.
After O-Ren is defeated and The Bride sits down, I’ve done a different edit of the music to what is in the original film.
I have relocated the shots of the mountains and trees, which originally came after Beatrix left the trailer after confronting Elle. I have also inserted some rainforest SFX for these scenes, and deleted the original music.
Beatrix and Esteban: these scenes have been deleted.
Beatrix at Bill’s place: these scenes have been trimmed for pacing.
Beatrix with BB: I have removed the original music, and added a new song.
Beatrix with Bill: I have removed the original music, added a new song, as well as some new SFX.
Also deleted is the flashback to Beatrix finding out that she is pregnant, and her confrontation with the assassin.
Two new pieces of music have been inserted when we see BB watching TV, and when Beatrix is crying in the bathroom near the end of the film.

Loved it, can't speak on just exactly what I loved so much, because I don't want to spoil anything. But this pairs very well with vol. 1. I loved the editing on this one as well. Felt better, for me, than the original film. Another amazing episode.
Keep up the amazing work, and cheers friend

I have always loved this movie so I was skeptical of this edit but I have to say that Phase3 huts it out of the park!
All of the movies in Tarantino Tales are excellent but I wouldn't necessarily say that they are better than the original.
This one is! Great job all the way around!

I'm really impressed at the teamwork between you and greenturnedblue planning this combo out! The timeline must have been really tough to get right and still keep enough threads hanging to resolve in part two, but you pulled it off.
First and foremost, I like that this movie is basically all of the action that was promised to us by the set up in the first half. Moving O-Ren to be the ultimate boss battle makes way more sense in the way of a narrative arc (even though I love the Tarantino mixed-up version).
Speaking of which the subtle edits and added scenes to the "Crazy 88 fight" were really cool. Cutting around all of the music in the build-up to the battle must have been very difficult but you did it seamlessly. I noticed almost all of them because I've seen the movie a million times but they were (again) seamlessly added, and it made it fun seeing new stuff! I loved that it didn't go black and white halfway through.
The soundtrack changes were also very cool. I semi-agree with bionicbob that Bill's death scene's new music didn't vibe with me. I would guess you were removing his "heroic death walk" music and making it more somber and in turn having him die like the angry prick he was instead of a hero walking off to the sunrise. Even still, I'm partial to the original audio.
I absolutely loved how much extra screen time you devoted to Beatrix and BB, almost FOUR FULL MINUTES, which is 1/15th of your edit. I always felt like Tarantino rushed that scene of her finally snuggling her kid for the first time, so I really found it very sweet that after all this trouble she actually stayed with her for hours and tucked her in, and we got to see it.

Phase3's Tarantino Tales installment picks up right from where Greentrurnedblue's left off and wastes no time getting into the action. Though, being the only real two parter in the Tales, it might have benefited from a 70s style "Previously On..." pre-titles sequence. Though I realize this would have impacted the Editor's mandated 60 minute runtime goal.
Much like the other installments, condensing Tarantino's epics down to 60 minutes much nuances are lost in these highlight reel spectacles and certain relationships are unclear. In this case, Sophie suffers. In this installment, I do not know why the Ironside cue plays when the Bride sees her.
This brings up the subject of new audio work. Overall, some fantastic SFX has been done throughout, much of it very subtle and masterfully executed. Many scenes I could not discern what was new and what was added. So bravo. However, not all of the new music choices worked for me, particularly Bill's death scene. But that is subjective.
Overall, a very fast paced and fun ride!
