This shot is filmed with the camera directly above the actors. It is used to convey something bigger than the characters is watching them and what they are doing. In other words, a cinematic inner conscious. In Kill Bill, the Gods Eye POV seems to be accompanying The Bride on her justified journey of revenge.
QT has had black and white sequences in two of his films. They appear in Kill Bill and Death Proof. These sequences are definitely inspired by his love of the way movies looked in the early days of cinema up to the way it was used in the French New Wave era.
A Mexican Stand-Off is when more than two opponents aim at each other with guns. It was originated in Sergio Leone's classic 1966 spaghetti western The Good The Bad and The Ugly, which is one of QT's favorite films. QT has used it for several of his own films.
