The use of music in the film in many ways matches the use of music in Kung Fu/martial arts films of the Shaw Brothers and such. In in lieu of an original score or production music, the films would use pop music or the score from from Blaxploitation films or Spaghetti Westerns. This was often done without permission. The music in the House of Blue Leaves fight even uses the same cues which many Kung-Fu films used illegally. When O-Ren retreats Super 16 by Neu! is heard which was used in Du bi quan wang da po xue di zi (1976). during the switch to black and white the main theme from I giorni dell'ira (1967) by Riz Ortolani is played briefly. The theme was also used in Soli contro tutti (1972), I 12 colpi segreti del Kung Fu di Bruce Lee l'invincibile (1979) and Ying zhao tie bu shan (1977). When the Bride's sword get's stuck, music from McKlusky, metà uomo metà odio (1973) by Charles Bernstein is heard, the same music (among with much of the score from McKlusky, metà uomo metà odio (1973)) used in Jie dao sha ren (1981). The revenge theme "Ironside" by Quincy Jones was used in Cinque dita di violenza (1972), which also happens to be one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite martial arts-films.
