The Whole Bloody Affair premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2004
This date and event are wrong. Cannes’ official 2004 records list *Kill Bill Vol. 2* at the festival, while later reporting says *The Whole Bloody Affair* was first unveiled at Cannes in 2006.
Full reasoning
Cannes’ official festival pages for 2004 show "KILL BILL VOL.2" in the out-of-competition lineup, not Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. The festival’s 2004 retrospective likewise lists "KILL BILL VOL.2 by Quentin TARANTINO" among that year’s films.
A later Vanity Fair history of the project states that Tarantino first unveiled the over-four-hour cut, subtitled The Whole Bloody Affair, at Cannes in 2006. So the article is conflating the 2004 Cannes presentation of Kill Bill Vol. 2 with the later Cannes screening of The Whole Bloody Affair.

Tarantino first unveiled the over-four-hour cut, subtitled The Whole Bloody Affair, as a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, out of competition, on May 23, 2004.
This Cannes claim is incorrect. Official Cannes records for 2004 identify the festival screening as *Kill Bill Vol. 2*, not *The Whole Bloody Affair*; reporting on the combined cut places its Cannes unveiling in 2006.
Full reasoning
The Cannes Film Festival’s own 2004 materials list "KILL BILL VOL.2" as the Tarantino film shown out of competition that year. They do not list Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in the 2004 lineup.
Reporting on the release history of The Whole Bloody Affair instead says the combined cut was first unveiled at Cannes in 2006. That means this sentence assigns the 2004 Kill Bill Vol. 2 festival screening to the wrong film.
