Kill Bill is an American action/thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill was originally
scheduled for a single theatrical release, but with a running time of over four hours, it was separated into two
movies: Kill Bill Volume 1, released in late 2003, and Kill Bill Volume 2, released in early 2004. A third installment
was planned for the year 2014, but in a 2012 interview from Tarantino, concerning Kill Bill: Vol. 3, he remarked,
"We'll see, probably not though."
Kill Bill: Volume 1

Kill Bill: Volume 1 was released in theaters on October 10, 2003. In the United States and Canada, Volume 1 was
released in 3,102 theaters and grossed $22 million on its opening weekend. Volume 1 was the widest theatrical
release of Tarantino's career to date, and it was also his highest-grossing opening weekend to date. Outside the
United States and Canada, Kill Bill Volume 1 was released in 20 territories. By November 2, 2003, it had made $31
million in the 20 territories. Kill Bill Volume 1 grossed a total of $70 million in the United States and Canada and
$110.9 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $180.9 million.
Kill Bill films

The movie follows a character initially identified as "The Bride", a former member of an assassination team who
seeks revenge on her ex-colleagues who massacred members of her wedding party and tried to kill her.
Kill Bill Volume 1 is often noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial
arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, girls with guns, and rape and revenge.
Kill Bill: Volume 2

Kill Bill: Volume 2 is a 2004 American thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It is the second of two
volumes that were released several months apart.
Kill Bill Volume 1 was released in late 2003, and Kill Bill: Volume 2 was released in early 2004. The volumes follow
a character initially identified as "The Bride", a former member of an assassination team who seeks revenge on her
ex-colleagues who massacred members of her wedding party and tried to kill her.
Like the first film, Kill Bill: Volume 2 is also noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as
Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, girls with guns, and rape and
revenge.[citation needed]
The Whole Bloody Affair

Tarantino announced at the 2008 Provincetown International Film Festival that a single film version of part 1 and 2
called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair with an extended animation sequence was to be released in May 2009.[1]
Screenings of the complete film began on March 27, 2011 at the New Beverly Cinema. This was verified to be the
original print that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003, before the decision was made to split the film into
two parts due to the roughly four-hour length. The print shown at the New Beverly even retained the French subtitles
necessary for screening an English-language film at the Cannes festival.
Differences in this version in comparison to the separate Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 versions include the "old Klingon
proverb" shown at the beginning of Vol. 1 is not present, although a dedication to filmmaker Kinji Fukasaku is in its
place; the anime sequence is slightly longer with more gore; The House of Blue Leaves battle is in color (it had been
toned down to black and white for the USA release of Vol. 1 only)[citation needed]; Sofie Fatale loses both of her arms;
the revelation that The Bride's daughter is alive at the end of Vol. 1 is not present, nor is the short black and white
scene at the beginning of Vol. 2 where The Bride is driving and sums up the action to that point; in its place is a
small musical intermission that leads straight into Chapter 6.
Sequel
Tarantino told Entertainment Weekly in April 2004, that he was planning a sequel:
Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my "Dollars Trilogy". I was going to do a new one every ten
years. But I need at least fifteen years before I do this again. I've already got the whole mythology: Sofie
Fatale will get all of Bill's money. She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on The Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge
every bit as much as The Bride deserved hers.
According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, details emerged around 2007 about two possible sequels, Kill Bill Volumes 3
and 4. According to the article, "Bennett Walsh said at the Shanghai International Film Festival, the third film
involves the revenge of two killers whose arms and eye were hacked by Uma Thurman in the first stories". The
article adds that the "fourth installment of the popular kung fu action films concerns a cycle of reprisals and
daughters who avenge their mother's deaths".
At the 2006 Comic Con, Tarantino said that after the completion of Grindhouse, he wanted to make two anime Kill
Bill films. One will be an origin story about Bill and his mentors, and the other will be an origin starring The Bride.
The latter is most likely to be a prequel, but could also follow the rumored (sequel) plot reported in Entertainment
Kill Bill films

Weekly in April 2004.[2][3]
At the Morelia International Film Festival on October 1, 2009, while being interviewed on an Italian TV show after
being asked about the success of the two Kill Bill films, Tarantino addressed the hostess by claiming, "You haven't
asked me about the third one" then asking the woman to ask the question would he be making a third Kill Bill film,
which he replied "Yes", and claiming "The Bride will fight again!"[4] On October 3, 2009, he further predicted that
Kill Bill 3 would be his ninth film, and would be released in 2014. He said he intends to make another unrelated film
before that date as his eighth film. He confirmed that he wanted ten years to pass between the Bride's last conflict, to
give her and her daughter a period of peace.
In December 2012 however, Tarantino said that Kill Bill, Vol. 3 now looks unlikely, and that he wishes to focus on
other unrelated projects.

Characters
The following is a list of characters from the film Kill Bill. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the film
was released in two separate parts, Kill Bill Vol. 1 in 2003 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 in 2004. The film takes place after a
massacre that killed the fianc and friends of the main character, The Bride, at the chapel in which she was to be
married; she was also thought to have been killed by being shot in the head. However, The Bride survived, but was
put into a coma for four years as a result of the attack. Upon finally awakening she plots her vengeance against the
killers.

Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba, also known as The Bride)
Beatrix Kiddo, a.k.a. The Bride (portrayed by Uma Thurman), is the protagonist of the film. She abandons her life
as a hired assassin for the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DVAS) upon realizing she is pregnant with Bill's
child, denying him the right of fatherhood to preserve her unborn's future. This action provokes the attacks on her
and her loved ones and its ensuing revenge, which is the entire basis of the film. Her code name while working for
DVAS was Black Mamba.
Bill (Snake Charmer)

Bill (portrayed by David Carradine) is the main antagonist of the film. He is the founder and leader of The Deadly
Viper Assassination Squad, to which The Bride formerly belonged, and also her former lover. Because the code
names of the members are all referring to venomous snakes, Bill's code name is Snake Charmer. He and the four
remaining Deadly Vipers attempt to kill her after she learns she is carrying Bill's child and leaves him without
warning. Some time after the massacre, the squad has disbanded. When Bill finds out The Bride isn't dead but
instead in a coma, he sends former Squad member and mistress Elle Driver to the hospital to kill her, but Bill
changes his mind and tells Elle to abort the mission, saying that killing a helpless person would demean the name of
the Assassination Squad.
O-Ren Ishii (Cottonmouth)

O-Ren Ishii, a.k.a. Cottonmouth (portrayed by Lucy Liu), is a half-Japanese, half-Chinese-American woman. O-Ren
experienced her first encounter of death when at the age of nine, while hiding underneath a bed, she witnessed both
her parents being brutally murdered under the orders of a Yakuza boss (who turned out to be a pedophile) and his
associates. An anime flashback showed her father in a U.S. Army uniform wearing the rank of sergeant major
fighting the assassins. Though he was apparently a skilled martial artist who took down two of the boss's men, he
was eventually overwhelmed and killed, along with his wife whom the crime boss personally murdered by striking
her in either the head or the chest with the same sword used to execute her father. The house was later destroyed in a
fire to cover up the act but young O-Ren escaped and although she was left physically unharmed, she was left
psychologically and emotionally scarred for life, swearing revenge against the crime boss responsible. After going
through intense training, two years later and at the age of eleven, she succeeded in getting her revenge against the
crime boss by sneaking into his house and killing him but not before asking if he remembered her or if she looked
like someone he'd killed. Once she'd murdered the crime boss, O-Ren killed his two bodyguards and escaped, later

becoming an expert assassin, proficient in marksmanship and sword fighting, raising through the ranks to become
one of the world's top female assassins at the age of twenty. Though once a member of the Deadly Vipers, she
eventually became the head of the Tokyo Yakuza, with Bill's help, and possessed her own bodyguard army, the
Crazy 88. O-Ren is fiercely proud of her heritage, going so far as to decapitate her own subordinate when he vented
his frustration over being led by "a Chinese Jap-American half breed bitch".
The Showdown at House of Blue Leaves is the chapter in which O-Ren Ishii visits a Japanese club together with
various Crazy 88 members, her lawyer and friend Sofie Fatale, and personal teenage bodyguard, Gogo Yubari.
While sitting in a room apart from the other guests, O-Ren hears a sound outside the room and throws a dart in that
direction. She orders Gogo to take a look; however, Gogo finds nothing. Later, Sofie Fatale is captured by The Bride
and taken to the main hall of the restaurant, where The Bride calls O-Ren, who appears with her bodyguards. The
Bride reveals herself to O-Ren, cutting off Sofie's arm, horrifying the other guests who flee the restaurant. The Bride
defeats countless Crazy 88s and Gogo, finally meeting O-Ren in a garden scene atop the club. During the battle,
O-Ren mocks The Bride as a "silly Caucasian girl who likes to play with samurai swords." After resuming their
fight, O-Ren receives a wound and apologizes for her earlier remark. The Bride accepts and eventually kills O-Ren
by lopping off the top of her head. It is hinted that O-Ren and the Bride may have had a genuine friendship in the
past; O-Ren is the only member of the Deadly Vipers besides Bill that the Bride shows any remorse over. O-Ren
utters with her dying breath "That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword", having been close enough to both see the
symbol of Hattori Hanzo and feel the blade.
Vernita Green (Copperhead)

Vernita Green, a.k.a. Copperhead (portrayed by Vivica A. Fox), is a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination
Squad who took part in the massacre at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel. She is second on the Bride's "Death List
Five". Four years after the massacre, she is depicted living a normal life under the alias of Jeannie Bell. She is
trained in hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting, and it is hinted that she and The Bride share a mutual,
professional respect for each other. At the start of the first movie, they engage in a vicious fight, destroying Vernita's
living room in the process. However, the fight is interrupted when Green's four-year-old daughter, Nikki, arrives
home from school in the middle of the fight, and they stop fighting because the Bride does not wish to kill Vernita in
front of her child. Green sends Nikki to her room and she talks with the Bride over coffee, apologizing for betraying
her and asking for mercy on behalf of her daughter and family. The Bride coldly refuses and they agree to meet in
the middle of the night to have a knife fight. However, Vernita betrays her promise, and shoots at the Bride with a
handgun concealed within a box of Kaboom cereal. She misses, and the Bride throws a knife into her heart, killing
her instantly. Nikki unintentionally witnesses her mother's death, for which the Bride apologizes. The Bride then
adds that, when Nikki grows up, if she ever wants to avenge her mother's death she'll be waiting for her and leaves.
Incidentally, Vernita Green's alias (Jeannie Bell) is a direct reference to the actress and former Playboy Playmate
Jeanne Bell who starred in the 1974 blaxpoitation film T.N.T. Jackson (writer/director Tarantino is a noted fan of
cult 1970's cinema).
Elle Driver (California Mountain Snake)

Elle Driver, a.k.a. California Mountain Snake (portrayed by Daryl Hannah), is another swordswoman who is loyal
to Bill. Elle and the Bride despise each other immensely, and it is implied that their mutual hatred came to be before
the events of the film. Elle is jealous of the Bride's status as Bill's lover, implying that Elle herself also had some
kind of sexual relationship with him. Despite this, Elle does grudgingly respect the Bride, describing her as "the
greatest warrior [she] had ever met" and also believing that she deserved better than to have supposedly met her end
at the hands of someone like Budd.
Like Bill and The Bride, Elle was trained by Pai Mei. When she showed disrespect to Pai Mei by calling him a
"miserable old fool", he responded by plucking out her right eye for her insolence, which is why she is shown to

wear an eyepatch. In retaliation, Elle murdered Pai Mei by poisoning his meal of fish-heads. When Bill learns that
the Bride survived the attempt on her life, he orders Elle to go kill her at the hospital where she was then lying
comatose. Disguised as a nurse, Elle nearly injects the Bride with a deadly poison when Bill calls her to abort the
mission. Though Elle wanted to kill the Bride while she was incapacitated, she abides by Bill's wishes.
When Budd (Sidewinder) captures the Bride, he calls Elle to offer her the Bride's Hanzo sword. Elle agrees to pay
one million dollars for the sword, on the condition that Budd makes The Bride "suffer until her last breath". Budd
buries the Bride alive, but she eventually escapes and lies in wait near Budd's trailer. Elle pays Budd for the sword
with a suitcase containing $1 million but when Budd opens the case, a concealed black mamba bites Budd and he
succumbs to its venom. Elle calls Bill and frames the Bride for Budd's death, also taking credit for Budd's live burial
of the Bride and tells Bill the grave's location. When Elle is about to leave the trailer, the Bride ambushes her. The
two women engage in an improvised weapons fight which evolves into a sword fight, with the Bride having to use
Budd's Hanzo sword (thought to have been long-ago pawned, by Budd's statement to Bill). During the fight, Elle
reveals that she killed Pai Mei; enraged, the Bride snatches out Elle's remaining eye. The Bride leaves Elle, now
completely blind, thrashing wildly on the floor of the trailer with the black mamba still loose inside. Though it can
be inferred that Elle was also killed by the black mamba, her fate is unknown or rather undecided.
Budd (Sidewinder)
Budd, a.k.a. Sidewinder (portrayed by Michael Madsen), is Bill's degenerate younger brother who was recognized
by Bill as 'the only man I ever loved', an epigraph etched onto Budd's Hanzo sword. He was the only other male
Deadly Viper Squad member and, since the assassination squad's disbandment, adopted a redneck-like life-style.
Living in a mobile home where he steadily became an alcoholic, Budd makes ends meet by working as a bouncer at
a local strip club. When told by Bill that Beatrix was coming to kill him, Budd philosophically stated "That woman
deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die. But then again, so does she." (When Budd makes this statement in
Volume 1, the last sentence is not included; the full statement is spoken in Volume 2). Budd once owned a Hattori
Hanzo katana and told Bill, who told Elle, that he had sold it for $250 in El Paso, Texas. He actually lied because
The Bride later found the sword in a golf bag in the bedroom of Budd's trailer. During Bill and Budd's discourse, Bill
mentions an unpleasant event between the two of them that led to their falling out, but the details of this event are
never explicitly mentioned.
When the Bride finally does find Budd, he is prepared for her sneak attack, shooting her with rock salt from a
double-barreled shotgun (making him the only Deadly Viper to single-handedly defeat The Bride) and buries her
alive (later described as a 'Texas funeral'). Before closing the casket, he tells The Bride that her live burial is
retribution for breaking Bill's heart. Returning to his trailer, Budd gives the Bride's priceless Hattori Hanzo sword to
Elle in return for $1 million in cash; he is then repeatedly bitten in the face by a black mamba concealed in the
suitcase (ironically The Bride's Deadly Viper codename) containing the cash. She takes advantage of the situation in
torturing Budd slowly by reading useful information about Black Mamba poison and the effects of it if not injected
with anti-venom. As he dies in agony minutes later, Elle tells Budd that she feels regret because she never had a
chance to take the Bride on herself and that she had to die at the hands of miserable cowboy like him.
Associates of O-Ren Ishii

In the quest for revenge, The Bride's first target is O-Ren Ishii, who during the intervening four years has risen to
become a major leader of the Tokyo organized crime world. But before The Bride battles and defeats her, she must
first confront and bring down her associates one by one.
Sofie Fatale
Sofie Fatale (portrayed by Julie Dreyfus) is O-Ren Ishii's lawyer, second-in-command, and best friend. Sofie Fatale
is of mixed Japanese/French descent and serves as an interpreter and is seen speaking English, Japanese and French
fluently. Although she is referred to as a protege of Bill's, she does not display any martial arts skills during her
appearances.
Sofie Fatale is present at the "House of Blue Leaves" when The Bride arrives to kill O-Ren Ishii. The Bride is riding
her motorbike through Tokyo, stalking Sofie's Nissan Fairlady Z when she is seen at a stop light using her phone; her
left-handedness, and later, the phone's "Auld Lang Syne" ringtone, are recognized by The Bride. She remembers that
Sofie was present during the El Paso massacre, and while she did not assist in beating The Bride, she did answer her
ringing phone, while callously ignoring the injured Bride and the rest of the carnage. The Bride captures Sofie at the
House of Blue Leaves and brings her to O-Ren Ishii. The Bride then cuts off Sofie's left arm (the arm she holds her
phone with) as a means of both exacting revenge on her and showing Ishii her intentions for a duel.
Later, The Bride interrogates Sofie to learn the location of the rest of the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination
Squad, threatening to further dismember her when she refuses to speak. She then sends her rolling down a hill to a
hospital for medical attention so she can live on and tell Bill what has happened and that the Bride is still alive.[1]
Although her fate is left ambiguous, Tarantino has commented that a potential third Kill Bill movie would focus on
the revenge of Vernita's daughter Nikki against the Bride, and that Nikki would be trained by Elle and Sofie.
Apparently, Sofie would inherit all of O-Ren and Bill's money.[citation needed]
Crazy 88
The Crazy 88 are a masked Yakuza gang under her control who originally employed to help O-Ren take control of
the Tokyo underworld. It includes members of both sexes and a wide age range. Most of them fight using katanas
except for three members. One is shown with a pair of throwing axes and another is seen briefly wielding a meteor
hammer. Johnny Mo, the clan's leader (under O-Ren), uses dual shortswords which, when each is sheathed in the
other's handle, can be used as a fighting staff. The Bride manages to fend off the entire gang, killing, mortally
wounding, and dismembering many. After the fight, any surviving member was taken into custody after leaving the
nightclub. Their arrest by Japanese police and hospitalization before being locked up in prison is not shown. One of
the last of the Crazy 88 member the Bride faces before O-Ren is a very timid teenage boy whose katana she cuts into
several pieces with her own, after which he surrenders immediately. She spanks him with the flat of her blade and
orders him to leave the criminal business by the word "Go home to your mother".
Aside from Johnny Mo, only one member of the Crazy 88 is identified and named. Miki is apparently O-Ren Ishii's
bodyguard, aside from Gogo. He is the first member to attack the Bride although he's quickly killed when the Bride
impales his chest with her sword. Quentin Tarantino appears as one of the members whose throat is slit after the
Bride dismembers the eye of one of the gangsters.
The Crazy 88 allegedly does not actually have eighty-eight members. Bill says that they adopted the name because it
"sounded cool". There are only 40 actors credited to the Crazy 88.
Metaphors are used to create the Crazy 88. 8 ( hachi, ya) is considered a lucky number in some Eastern
culturesWikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Unsupported attributions - it suggests growing prosperous,
because the letter () broadens gradually. 8 ( ya) was also seen as holy in ancient times.[citation needed]. Another
metaphor is that there are 88 keys on a standard piano. The gang are dressed in black and white like the piano keys.

There are two different versions of the fight scene with the Crazy 88. The original version was released as a Japanese
Unrated Limited Edition DVD in Japan and U.S. which has the fight in full color. Tarantino was forced to tone down
the violence of the whole fight the scene by omitting a few scenes and adding a black and white effect to the finished
product for the film's release. The Black and White version is used on television airings up to this day.
Johnny Mo
Johnny Mo (portrayed by Gordon Liu, who also portrays Pai Mei in Vol. 2) is the leader of O-Ren's personal army,
the Crazy 88. Johnny Mo is most prominently featured in the "House of Blue Leaves" scene. After The Bride kills
Gogo Yubari and O-Ren Ishii's six bodyguards, Johnny Mo, armed with a pair of sht, arrives with an army of
Crazy 88s. He is a more proficient fighter than the rest of the gang, nearly tipping the scales in their favor and
holding his own against The Bride for several minutes alone while fighting her on top of a balcony railing. She
eventually chops off his leg and he falls into a bloodied fountain pool from the second floor balcony and is presumed
dead thereafter.
Gogo Yubari
Gogo Yubari (portrayed by Chiaki Kuriyama) is a young associate of O-Ren Ishii. Gogo is the bloodthirsty and
ultraviolent seventeen-year-old schoolgirl who takes a sadistic delight in killing. Her fighting style is a combination
of wushu techniques using chain whip and rope dart. She is O-Ren's top assassin and personal bodyguard. Gogo's
disturbed mind and vicious penchant for killing is displayed when she offers herself to a drunken man in a bar and
then disembowels him, asking him, "Do you still wish to penetrate me?... Or is it I who has penetrated you?"
Later on, she takes on Beatrix Kiddo when the latter has already slaughtered several of O-Ren Ishii's immediate
guards at the House of Blue Leaves. Although the Bride gives her the opportunity to walk away, Gogo refuses and
takes her on with a large meteor hammer, almost overcoming the Bride by strangling her savagely with the chain.
Eventually Kiddo distracts Gogo by driving a broken chair leg studded with nails into her foot, then kills her by
driving the nails into the side of her head.
Gogo Yubari resembles the character that Chiaki Kuriyama previously portrayed in the 2000 Japanese film, Battle
Royale, Takako Chigusa. and the aparence in American Horror Story: Coven as Yoko Nagasaki.
Other characters
B.B.
B.B. (portrayed by Perla Haney-Jardine) is the four-year-old daughter of The Bride and Bill who was in utero during
the massacre at the Two Pines chapel. Upon first coming out of her coma, The Bride believes her unborn child was
killed in the attack and promises to avenge her death. The audience does not learn that she is alive until the last line
of Vol. 1, and The Bride does not find out until the final act of Vol. 2. B.B. was named (probably in homage to her
parents, Beatrix and Bill) and raised by Bill, who in Vol. 2 openly admitted to her the terrible crime he had
committed against The Bride.
Buck
Buck (portrayed by Michael Bowen) is a male nurse at the hospital where The Bride laid comatose for four years.
During this period, he regularly took sexual advantage of The Bride, raping her unconscious body and later also
prostituting her to other male clients. After she first awakens, The Bride attacks Buck and interrogates him on the
whereabouts of Bill. Suddenly, she begins recalling Buck's prior assaults on her (including his infamous line, "My
name's Buck and I'm here to fuck!") and, in a fit of rage, slams his head with a door, killing him with an intracranial
hemorrhage. The Bride then steals Buck's clothes and escapes from the hospital in his truck, the "Pussy Wagon"
(censored to "Party Wagon" for network broadcast). She uses the truck during her scenes in the United States during

Volume 1, but in Volume 2 says that it has broken down and she has thus acquired another vehicle.
Earl McGraw
Earl McGraw (portrayed by Michael Parks) is a Texas Ranger who investigates the murders at the wedding chapel,
and the first person to realize that The Bride has managed to survive the attack. This is the second appearance of
McGraw in a Tarantino film, as he had previously been a character in From Dusk till Dawn (in which he was killed
by Tarantino himself starring as Richie Gecko); he would later appear in both features that make up Tarantino and
Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse.
Esteban Vihaio
Esteban Vihaio (portrayed by Michael Parks) is an eighty-year-old Mexican pimp based in the border city of Ciudad
Acua who, as a friend of Bill and Budd's mother, was seen by Bill as a father figure. His prostitutes' illegitimate
children are apparently recruited into an organized crime gang called the Acua Boys, of which Esteban is the de
facto leader. When The Bride visits him, he tells her of Bill's whereabouts, noting that it is what Bill would have
wanted Esteban to do ("How else is he ever going to see you again?"). He also notes that if he were in Bill's situation
when Bill had tracked the Bride down he says he would have only mutilated her face instead of trying to kill
herrevealed as his apparent discipline of choice for his prostitutes.
Hattori Hanz
Hattori Hanz (portrayed by Sonny Chiba) is still the finest swordsmith in the world; however, he has not created a
new sword in 28 years since taking a blood oath before God to never again make instruments of death. He became
the owner of a sushi shop in Okinawa. The choice of Okinawa was deliberate, as the island is regarded as one of the
worst places to get sushi, making a sushi shop there an excellent hiding place.[citation needed] Hanz initially met the
Bride when she was under the guise of an American tourist visiting Okinawa. Hanz initially refused to make a
sword for her, or even give her one he had previously made, but was convinced to make one for her after the Bride
alluded that she wanted to kill his former student Bill. It is also alluded in the film that the mere mention of Bill's
name was sufficient to make Hanz violate his blood oath because Bill did something to make Hanz truly furious
with him (possibly because Bill chose to become a contract killer), and made the sword so Bill could be killed with
it. According to Hanz, it is the finest and sharpest sword he has ever made, and stated to The Bride "If, on your
journey, should you encounter God, God will be cut." When the Bride tells Bill that she got him to make her a sword
by giving him his name, Bill admits "that'd do it."
Quentin Tarantino stated in the supplementary material on the Kill Bill DVD that the character was named in tribute
to Sonny Chiba's former role as Hattori Hanz (the real-life historical 16th-century Iga Ninja) in Shadow Warriors
(Kage no Gundan). The joke is that Chiba played multiple generations of the character: even when the character
actually died, the next installment would shift to covering his descendant, also named "Hattori Hanz" after his
famous predecessor. The implication is that the "Hattori Hanz" seen in Kill Bill is the current descendant of the
Hanz lineage in the present-day. Tarantino went so far as to call him Hattori Hanz the XIV.
Chiba's own daughter, Japanese actress Juri Manase, also appears as a member of the Crazy 88.
Karen Kim
Karen Kim (portrayed by Helen Kim) is an assassin sent to kill The Bride while she was still a Deadly Viper. She
narrowly misses hitting The Bride with shotgun fire. Before the shootout can worsen, Karen is convinced to leave in
peace when The Bride proves that she is pregnant, to which Karen says 'Congratulations', and then leaves.
Larry
Larry (portrayed by Larry Bishop) is the owner of the strip club, My Oh My Club, where Budd works as a bouncer.
He is seen doing cocaine with one of the dancers before Budd strolls into work 20 minutes late. An argument ensues
over the fact that "there is nobody there to bounce". He almost fires Budd but tells him to come back when he calls
him.
Nikita "Nikki" Bell

Nikita "Nikki" Bell (portrayed by Ambrosia Kelley [2]) is a young girl and the four-year-old daughter to Vernita
Green and Dr. Lawrence Bell. She makes an appearance in Vol. 1 when she unknowingly interrupts a battle between
her mother and The Bride in the living room. Vernita explains that the family dog made the mess, to conceal her past
from Nikki. Nikki accidentally witnesses her mother's death at the hands of The Bride, who was unaware that Nikki
was present until she turned around and saw her. The Bride tells her that her mother had it coming. However, with
sympathy, the Bride tells Nikki if she still feels "raw" about it, she will be waiting for her in the future. Quentin
Tarantino has commented that any potential Kill Bill sequel will focus on her revenge against the Bride.
Pai Mei
"Pai Mei" redirects here. For the historical figure, see Bak Mei.
Pai Mei (Chinese: ; pinyin: Bi Mi; literally White Eyebrow) was performed by veteran Chinese actor
Gordon Liu (who previously played Johnny Mo in the Vol. 1). As depicted in the film, Pai Mei was a powerful, very
old practitioner of the Bak Mei style of kung fu. Pai Mei was the former teacher and master of The Bride, Bill, and
Elle, although it is unclear if he instructed the other members of the DeVAS. Despite being a wise and
knowledgeable White Lotus priest, he also was racist (specifically towards Caucasians), xenophobic (towards the
Japanese and Americans), and a misogynist. He only agreed to take on The Bride as a student after having a very
violent (offscreen) martials arts duel with Bill, who then adds that Pai Mei was a very, very old man whose
advancing years had taught him the value of company, while not brightening up his angry disposition. In spite of
being both a Caucasian American and a woman, Beatrix ultimately wins his approval for her perseverance under his
torturous training regimen.
Pai Mei was alleged to be able to perform the lethal Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Bill describes the
technique as the deadliest blow in all of martial arts. He adds that Pai Mei hits the victim with his finger tips at five
different pressure points on the victim's body and then lets him/her walk away. But once the victim has taken five
steps, the heart explodes inside the body and the victim dies.
Pai Mei claims that he teaches no one this manoeuvre. He ultimately makes an exception because he has given the
Bride his sincere respect after the first stages of brutal training. He teaches the Bride this blow off-screen and the
Bride, in turn, uses it to kill Bill.
Elle, Pai Mei's last student, is responsible for his death. During a training session, Elle insults Pai Mei by calling him
a "miserable old fool". As punishment for her insolence, Pai Mei plucks out Elle's right eye. In retribution, Elle puts
a deadly poison in fish heads that he subsequently eats, killing him.
In the first version of the script, Gordon Liu' character speaks Cantonese while Quentin Tarantino dubs his voice in
English and it resulted in a bad dub job. This idea was ultimately discarded, and Mei's dialogue was left undubbed.[3]
10
Rufus
The organ player at the Two Pines chapel, Rufus is a former professional blues musician who died in the massacre.
Rufus states that he has played with Rufus Thomas and numerous other well-known R&B acts: "I was a Drell. I was
a Drifter. I was a Coaster. I was part of The Gang. I was a Bar-Kay... If they come through Texas, I done played with
them." The character was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, who had starred in two previous Tarantino films, Pulp
Fiction and Jackie Brown; and starred in Django Unchained later on and performed the narration in two scenes in
Inglourious Basterds.
Tommy Plympton
Tommy Plympton (portrayed by Christopher Allen Nelson) is The Bride's fianc who is murdered at Two Pines. He
is the proprietor of a record shop and employed The Bride, who used the assumed name Arlene Machiavelli when
she met him.

Beatrix Kiddo (primarily known as The Bride), codename Black Mamba, is a fictional character and the
protagonist of the two-part movie Kill Bill directed by Quentin Tarantino. She is portrayed by Uma Thurman and
was selected by Empire Magazine as one of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.[1] Entertainment
Weekly also named her as one of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years.
Beatrix Kiddo's past

Kiddo is a former member of the "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad", an elite, shadowy group of assassins. A
formidable, ruthless warrior trained under martial arts master Pai Mei (Gordon Liu), she served at the right hand of
Bill (David Carradine), her boss and lover, a position that provoked the furious envy of fellow Viper Elle Driver
(Daryl Hannah).
Kiddo, a master of the Tiger/Crane style of kung fu, is the only Viper to learn the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart
Technique", a method of killing a person by quickly striking five pressure points around the heart with the fingertips.
After the victim takes five steps, the heart explodes and he/she falls dead. Pai Mei supposedly refused to teach this
technique, which was said to be "the deadliest blow in all of martial arts", to Bill or anyone else. Kiddo's
determination wins his respect, however, and he teaches her the forbidden technique - a secret that Kiddo withholds
from Bill until they meet for their final showdown.
Kill Bill Vol. 1

These events are described in chronological order. The film's sequence varies.
Kiddo is first seen on the day of her wedding rehearsal in rural Texas, pregnant and living under the name "Arlene
Machiavelli", having previously left Bill and abandoned the Vipers. Bill finds her, however, and gate-crashes her
wedding rehearsal with the other Vipers and murders everyone inside. Bill then shoots her in the head, leaving her in
a coma. Just before Bill shoots her, she tells him that it is his baby.
She remains comatose for four years, during which she is repeatedly prostituted and raped by an orderly named Buck
(Michael Bowen). After being bitten by a mosquito, she awakens just as she is about to be violated by one of Buck's
"clients." Even though weakened by atrophy, she kills the would-be rapist and then Buck, before beginning a mission
Beatrix Kiddo
of revenge on the other Vipers. She presumes that her baby died in the womb, further fueling her hatred of the
Vipers.
She then travels to Okinawa, where she convinces the legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanz (Sonny Chiba) to come
out of retirement and forge a katana for her. After getting the sword, Kiddo arrives at the "House of Blue Leaves",
where she faces O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu).
Kiddo encounters O-Ren Ishii's lawyer Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) in a washroom, where she recognizes her
cellphone's "Auld Lang Syne" ringtone, and remembers her from the El Paso massacre. Kiddo captures her and
brings her to O-Ren, where she cuts off her left arm and challenges O-Ren to a duel. O-Ren Ishii, the Crazy 88 gang
and Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama) fight Kiddo; the Bride kills or dismembers all but one (whom she spares due to
his young age). She then faces off against O-Ren, climaxing in a dramatic swordfight in a snow covered garden. At
the end of the duel, Kiddo cuts off the top of O-Ren's head, killing her.
After killing O-Ren, Kiddo tortures Sofie Fatale for the locations of the rest of the members of the Vipers. She then
sends her rolling down a hill to a hospital for medical attention so she could live on and tell Bill what had transpired,
and that Kiddo is still alive. Bill reveals that Kiddo's child is actually alive.
Kiddo then finds Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), who had renounced her life as a hired killer and started anew in a
quiet suburban neighborhood with her husband and daughter. Kiddo shows up at her doorstep and engages her in a
brutal fight. However, during the fight, Green's daughter Nikki comes home from school, and Kiddo is unwilling to
kill Green in front of her child. Green tries to apologize for what she had done, but Kiddo is implacable. Green
shoots at her with a handgun concealed in a cereal box, but misses, and Kiddo quickly throws a knife at Green,
killing her.
Nikki goes to the kitchen just in time to see Kiddo kill her mother. Kiddo tells the girl that it was not her intent to kill
Green in front of her; and that if the young girl wishes to avenge her mother's death when she grows up, Kiddo
would be waiting.
Kill Bill Vol. 2

Vol. 2 expands on the circumstances of Kiddo's shooting. While on an assassination assignment to kill Lisa Wong,
Kiddo discovers she is pregnant with Bill's baby. Immediately after, she is confronted by Karen Kim, an assassin
sent by Lisa Wong to kill her. However, Karen narrowly misses her shot. During the resulting stand-off, Kiddo
convinces Karen to pick up the positive pregnancy strip from the floor. The two mutually agree to abort their
missions and go home. Kiddo runs away and cuts off contact with Bill and the Deadly Vipers, assuming a new
identity as Arlene Machiavelli. She decides to marry Tommy Plympton and start a new life working in a used record
store in El Paso, Texas. Bill finds her on the day of her wedding rehearsal and pretends to give her his blessing;
moments later, he leads the Vipers in massacring the wedding party in the chapel and shooting Kiddo in the head,
putting her in a coma.
The film then returns to where Vol. 1 left off. After killing Vipers O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green, Kiddo goes after
Budd (Michael Madsen), Bill's brother. Laying in wait underneath Budd's trailer, she charges in the front door only
to be shot in the chest by Budd with a shotgun loaded with rock salt. He sedates her and calls Elle Driver, Kiddo's
arch-rival within the Vipers, to bargain a price for Kiddo's Hanzo sword. Budd and an accomplice then take her to a
graveyard and bury her alive. During her imprisonment, she recalls her rigorous training sessions under the tutelage
of the martial arts master, Pai Mei. Using one of the many techniques she learned from him, Kiddo breaks open the
casket and goes back to Budd's trailer where he lies dead, having been bitten by a black mamba hidden in the
suitcase Driver brought that contained the money for the sword and Beatrix's death. Driver, still in the trailer after
Budd's death, engages Kiddo in a brutal battle, in which Driver reveals that she had killed Pai Mei as revenge for
tearing out her eye. Enraged, Kiddo tears out Driver's other eye, leaving her completely blind, and leaves Driver
inside the trailer with the angry black mamba still inside. Beatrix then pursues her final target, Bill.

Beatrix Kiddo
When she finds him, from information provided by Esteban Vihaio (Michael Parks), she discovers that their
daughter, B.B. (Perla Haney-Jardine), whom she presumed had died in utero, is alive and well. They spend the
evening together as a family until B.B. goes to bed, and then Bill and Kiddo settle their differences. Bill explains that
he tried to kill her because he was angry at her for leaving him, and argues that she could never be anything but a
killer. Kiddo, under truth serum, admits that she left because she wanted their daughter to have a chance at a normal
life, but that she knows deep down that she doesn't have it in her to lead a normal life herself.
At the end of their conversation, a fight ensues where Kiddo fatally strikes Bill using the "Five Point Palm Exploding
Heart Technique". As Bill dies, the two forgive each other and make their peace. He then walks five steps and falls
to the ground, dead. Kiddo then disappears with B.B. in the middle of the night. The next morning, she lies on the
bathroom floor of the hotel that she and B.B stayed in after she fled Bill's villa, crying and laughing at once. The two
then drive off into the sunset to begin a new life.
Cultural impact
Beatrix Kiddo was well received by audiences. Empire Magazine ranked the character 66th out of 100 in its list of
The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. Entertainment Weekly also named The Bride as 99th on its 2010 list
of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years.
In 2013, researchers named a new species of parasitic wasp, Cystomastacoides kiddo, after the character, stating that
the naming was inspired by "the deadly biology [of the wasp] to the host."

Bill is the fictional titular character and the main antagonist of the film Kill Bill directed by Quentin Tarantino. He
was portrayed by David Carradine. In the film, he is the leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, which
included his brother, Budd (Michael Madsen). Bill's codename is Snake Charmer. At some point, he became the
student of legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanz (Sonny Chiba) and kung fu master Pai Mei (Gordon Liu).
For his performance, Carradine won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor (the final award of his life) and
was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Story
Deeply saddened by the apparent murder of one of his assassins (and his lover) Beatrix "Black Mamba" Kiddo, aka
"The Bride" (Uma Thurman), Bill personally seeks out her killers only to find that she is still very much alive, trying
to clear her past, and to start a new life with her unborn child.
Bill surfaces unannounced at Kiddo's wedding rehearsal at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel and promises not to
interfere with her new life. When Bill meets Kiddo's fianc, Kiddo covers for Bill by saying Bill is her father. Bill
wishes Kiddo the best of luck as he moves to the bride's side of the wedding chapel. At the same time, the remainder
of his assassin squad moves in from outside and massacres the entire wedding party. Bill delivers a final speech to
Kiddo, after which he performs the coup de grce by shooting her in the head. Before he fires, Kiddo tells him that
he is the father of her unborn child.
Kiddo miraculously survives the ordeal, but falls into a coma for four years. When she awakens, she assumes that
her baby died because of her traumatic ordeal. Kiddo then proceeds to hunt down and kill the remaining assassins of
the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.
In a final confrontation at the end of Kill Bill: Volume 2, Kiddo storms in on Bill expecting to find him alone, but
standing beside Bill is her daughter, now four years old. Bill has already told the girl, B.B. (Perla Haney-Jardine),
that Kiddo is her mother. It's evident during her time in a coma, that Bill has done a perfect job raising her. Bill then
tells B.B. bluntly that he shot and tried to kill "Mommy". B.B. does not seem fazed by this revelation, and they spend
the evening together as a family. After B.B. nods off to sleep, Bill and Kiddo settle their grievances and decide to
conclude their "unfinished business". In the short final fight, Kiddo fatally strikes him with the "Five Point Palm
Exploding Heart Technique", which she learned from Pai Mei.

Bill holds her hand one last time before Bill walks to his death. The two warriors forgive each other and Bill tells her
that she is "a terrific person... my favorite person.", however, he adds that "every once in a while you can be a real
cunt". Kiddo drives off with B.B. to begin their new life.

Known associates Sofie Fatale (No snake codename) played by Julie Dreyfus
The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (or DeVAS) is a group of fictional characters in Quentin Tarantino's Kill
Bill. It is a reference to Buddhism's "Five Poisons".
History
Bill and Budd are brothers who grew up without a father (although Esteban Vihaio, a pimp, acted as a father-figure
for a time). O-Ren Ishii was left an orphan after her parents were killed by Japanese crime boss Matsumoto.
They were, as their name suggests, an assassin squad, run and managed by Bill. He is known to have had a romance
with Kiddo (his girlfriend and protge, whom he impregnates}.
Although their name suggests that the members of the team are codenamed with vipers' names, the black mamba and
the California mountain snake do not belong to the viper family; the black mamba is an elapid and the California
mountain snake belongs to the colubrids.
At the time of The Bride's revenge, the group has largely disbanded. Vernita lives as a housewife with a daughter,
O-Ren is a crime boss in Tokyo, Budd is a bar bouncer, Bill is shown mostly as a retired killer to whom Elle remains
fanatically devoted. The Bride has just recovered from a four-year coma, which started when the others came to her
wedding rehearsal and killed the wedding party, but mistakenly left her alive. Bill delivers what he believes to be the
coup de grce as revenge for walking out on him. Their daughter is delivered while she is in a coma, and is being
raised by Bill without her knowledge.
Although never explicitly said, it is widely held that Black Mamba is the most lethal and skilled of the Deadly Viper
Assassination Squad after Bill himself, making her the deadliest woman on the planet. Many of them wield katana,
and in the case of Bill and Budd, forged by Hattori Hanz, an Okinawan sword maker of legendary standing, who
comes out of retirement to make his final masterpiece, The Bride's samurai sword. Bill, The Bride and Elle Driver
are trained by Pai Mei, a Chinese martial arts master who is later poisoned by Elle Driver. Besides their training in

the martial arts, they are also fluent in several languages, well-versed in the use of firearms, and skilled in various
assassination, espionage, surveillance and weapon combat techniques. Some members seem to have personal
specialties. O-Ren seems to favor ranged weapons (a sniper rifle in her flash-back and throwing darts in the
confrontation at the House of Blue Leaves), Vernita favors close combat using knives (as stated by the Bride,
quoting Bill) and Elle seems to favor poisons (she uses this tactic to kill Pai Mei in a flashback, attempted to use it
against the comatose Bride, before Bill stopped her and arguably used it against Budd by way of the black mamba).
Budd seems to favor firearms (he is seen carrying an AK-47 as the DeVAS approach and enter the Two Pines
wedding chapel. Also he shoots a round of rock salt into the bride with his shotgun.) Bill and Kiddo never
demonstrate a preference for any specific weapon or tactic, although Bill's codename (Snake Charmer) and the
Deadly Viper Assassination Squad almost exclusively female membership may imply that Bill's speciality is his way
with women.
Kiddo kills Green, Ishii and Bill in her quest for revenge. Budd is killed, fittingly, by a black mamba which Driver
puts in a suitcase filled with money. It is left ambiguous whether Driver survives; she is left blinded and locked up
with the black mamba that killed Budd, ranting and screaming in an isolated desert trailer. At the end of the film, all
the characters who have been killed have their names crossed out on Kiddo's list, but Elle's name instead has a
question mark over the top of it, suggesting that she could still be alive.
Cultural references
The five assassins of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are a reference to the Five Deadly Venoms, a group of
five Hong Kong action actors employed by Run Run Shaw in many old Shaw Brothers martial arts films that were
part of the inspiration for Kill Bill. The actors first worked together in a movie called The Five Deadly Venoms, and
were referred to as such when seen in later movies together. In another Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace
(also played by Uma Thurman) states that she worked on a pilot episode of "Fox Force Five", which included five
very different women with special talents that are similar to the talents of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. It
was also mentioned in Pulp Fiction that her character was "the deadliest woman in the world with a knife", whereas
in Kill Bill Vernita Green is described by The Bride as such. It is also of note that the list of names that Thurman's
character makes in Kill Bill is titled "Death List Five". Tarantino also cited the 1973 Ted V. Mikels film The Doll
Squad as an inspiration.[1]
Other
While Sofie Fatale is not an official member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, she was at least involved
in their operations and is in personal contact with Bill (who is mentioned to have previously been her mentor).
Bill has been shown telling at least three members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad that he loves them:
The Bride, Elle Driver (on the phone) and Budd (on an inscription on his Hanzo sword).
The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are mentioned in the science fiction novel Glasshouse by Charles Stross.

Earl McGraw and his son Edgar McGraw are two fictional characters played by Michael Parks and James Parks.
They appear in several feature films by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, including the From Dusk Till
Dawn franchise, Kill Bill Volume 1, and in various works from the Grindhouse project.
Overview
Despite being killed off in his first appearance in From Dusk Till Dawn, Earl returned in several other films from
Rodriguez and Tarantino. Talking with a heavy Mid-western accent and delivering profanity laden dialogue, the
character often serves as comic relief. In Kill Bill Volume 1, he scolds his son, Edgar McGraw, for saying "goddamn"
in a chapel, and then goes into a profane rant himself. He and Edgar are consistently portrayed as Texas Rangers.
Edgar is portrayed by James Parks, the real-life son of Michael Parks. He also has a daughter who is introduced in
the Grindhouse films, named Dakota, played by Marley Shelton. To date, he has only made cameos, but Dakota has
a large role in Planet Terror.
Appearances
In From Dusk Till Dawn, Earl McGraw goes to a liquor store, where killers Seth and Richie Gecko are hiding.
Before McGraw can leave, he is shot in the head by Richie, who mistakenly believed that the store's clerk
whispered "help us" to McGraw. Edgar (as Deputy McGraw) appears briefly in two scenes in the sequel film
From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. Bo Hopkins references Edgar's businesslike demeanor: "Oh, them
Gecko brothers killed his daddy."
In Kill Bill Vol. 1, Earl McGraw and Edgar investigate the massacre at the Two Pines Chapel, where 10 people
have been brutally murdered. He soon discovers that the bride, Beatrix Kiddo, is still alive.
During the Grindhouse segment Planet Terror, Earl McGraw is forced to kill his wife Ramona after she turns into
a zombie, while Dakota takes refuge in his house. McGraw also helps survivors gather and fight, as well as
staying behind to fight off the zombie attack while the others escape. He reappears near the end, where he saves
Dakota by killing her infected husband, Doctor Block. In the other Grindhouse segment, Death Proof, Earl,
accompanied by Edgar, visits a hospital after Stuntman Mike's first attack. He is the only person aware of the fact
that Stuntman Mike was responsible for the deaths of five girls, but Mike is cleared of all charges because the
girls were intoxicated. Although he can't formally arrest him, Earl does however run Mike out of Texas. His
Earl McGraw
daughter Dakota also appears in Death Proof with Shelton reprising her role.
Edgar McGraw appears making out with Sartina's sister in a deleted scene featured on the Machete Blu-ray and

The following is a list of characters from the film Kill Bill. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the film
was released in two separate parts, Kill Bill Vol. 1 in 2003 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 in 2004. The film takes place after a
massacre that killed the fianc and friends of the main character, The Bride, at the chapel in which she was to be
married; she was also thought to have been killed by being shot in the head. However, The Bride survived, but was
put into a coma for four years as a result of the attack. Upon finally awakening she plots her vengeance against the
killers.

Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba, also known as The Bride)
Beatrix Kiddo, a.k.a. The Bride (portrayed by Uma Thurman), is the protagonist of the film. She abandons her life
as a hired assassin for the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DVAS) upon realizing she is pregnant with Bill's
child, denying him the right of fatherhood to preserve her unborn's future. This action provokes the attacks on her
and her loved ones and its ensuing revenge, which is the entire basis of the film. Her code name while working for
DVAS was Black Mamba.
Bill (Snake Charmer)

Bill (portrayed by David Carradine) is the main antagonist of the film. He is the founder and leader of The Deadly
Viper Assassination Squad, to which The Bride formerly belonged, and also her former lover. Because the code
names of the members are all referring to venomous snakes, Bill's code name is Snake Charmer. He and the four
remaining Deadly Vipers attempt to kill her after she learns she is carrying Bill's child and leaves him without
warning. Some time after the massacre, the squad has disbanded. When Bill finds out The Bride isn't dead but
instead in a coma, he sends former Squad member and mistress Elle Driver to the hospital to kill her, but Bill
changes his mind and tells Elle to abort the mission, saying that killing a helpless person would demean the name of
the Assassination Squad.
O-Ren Ishii (Cottonmouth)

O-Ren Ishii, a.k.a. Cottonmouth (portrayed by Lucy Liu), is a half-Japanese, half-Chinese-American woman. O-Ren
experienced her first encounter of death when at the age of nine, while hiding underneath a bed, she witnessed both
her parents being brutally murdered under the orders of a Yakuza boss (who turned out to be a pedophile) and his
associates. An anime flashback showed her father in a U.S. Army uniform wearing the rank of sergeant major
fighting the assassins. Though he was apparently a skilled martial artist who took down two of the boss's men, he
was eventually overwhelmed and killed, along with his wife whom the crime boss personally murdered by striking
her in either the head or the chest with the same sword used to execute her father. The house was later destroyed in a
fire to cover up the act but young O-Ren escaped and although she was left physically unharmed, she was left
psychologically and emotionally scarred for life, swearing revenge against the crime boss responsible. After going
22
Hattori Hanzo
through intense training, two years later and at the age of eleven, she succeeded in getting her revenge against the
crime boss by sneaking into his house and killing him but not before asking if he remembered her or if she looked
like someone he'd killed. Once she'd murdered the crime boss, O-Ren killed his two bodyguards and escaped, later
becoming an expert assassin, proficient in marksmanship and sword fighting, raising through the ranks to become
one of the world's top female assassins at the age of twenty. Though once a member of the Deadly Vipers, she
eventually became the head of the Tokyo Yakuza, with Bill's help, and possessed her own bodyguard army, the
Crazy 88. O-Ren is fiercely proud of her heritage, going so far as to decapitate her own subordinate when he vented
his frustration over being led by "a Chinese Jap-American half breed bitch".
The Showdown at House of Blue Leaves is the chapter in which O-Ren Ishii visits a Japanese club together with
various Crazy 88 members, her lawyer and friend Sofie Fatale, and personal teenage bodyguard, Gogo Yubari.
While sitting in a room apart from the other guests, O-Ren hears a sound outside the room and throws a dart in that
direction. She orders Gogo to take a look; however, Gogo finds nothing. Later, Sofie Fatale is captured by The Bride
and taken to the main hall of the restaurant, where The Bride calls O-Ren, who appears with her bodyguards. The
Bride reveals herself to O-Ren, cutting off Sofie's arm, horrifying the other guests who flee the restaurant. The Bride
defeats countless Crazy 88s and Gogo, finally meeting O-Ren in a garden scene atop the club. During the battle,
O-Ren mocks The Bride as a "silly Caucasian girl who likes to play with samurai swords." After resuming their
fight, O-Ren receives a wound and apologizes for her earlier remark. The Bride accepts and eventually kills O-Ren
by lopping off the top of her head. It is hinted that O-Ren and the Bride may have had a genuine friendship in the
past; O-Ren is the only member of the Deadly Vipers besides Bill that the Bride shows any remorse over. O-Ren
utters with her dying breath "That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword", having been close enough to both see the
symbol of Hattori Hanzo and feel the blade.
Vernita Green (Copperhead)

Vernita Green, a.k.a. Copperhead (portrayed by Vivica A. Fox), is a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination
Squad who took part in the massacre at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel. She is second on the Bride's "Death List
Five". Four years after the massacre, she is depicted living a normal life under the alias of Jeannie Bell. She is
trained in hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting, and it is hinted that she and The Bride share a mutual,
professional respect for each other. At the start of the first movie, they engage in a vicious fight, destroying Vernita's
living room in the process. However, the fight is interrupted when Green's four-year-old daughter, Nikki, arrives
home from school in the middle of the fight, and they stop fighting because the Bride does not wish to kill Vernita in
front of her child. Green sends Nikki to her room and she talks with the Bride over coffee, apologizing for betraying
her and asking for mercy on behalf of her daughter and family. The Bride coldly refuses and they agree to meet in
the middle of the night to have a knife fight. However, Vernita betrays her promise, and shoots at the Bride with a
handgun concealed within a box of Kaboom cereal. She misses, and the Bride throws a knife into her heart, killing
her instantly. Nikki unintentionally witnesses her mother's death, for which the Bride apologizes. The Bride then
adds that, when Nikki grows up, if she ever wants to avenge her mother's death she'll be waiting for her and leaves.
Incidentally, Vernita Green's alias (Jeannie Bell) is a direct reference to the actress and former Playboy Playmate
Jeanne Bell who starred in the 1974 blaxpoitation film T.N.T. Jackson (writer/director Tarantino is a noted fan of
cult 1970's cinema).
Elle Driver (California Mountain Snake)

Elle Driver, a.k.a. California Mountain Snake (portrayed by Daryl Hannah), is another swordswoman who is loyal
to Bill. Elle and the Bride despise each other immensely, and it is implied that their mutual hatred came to be before
the events of the film. Elle is jealous of the Bride's status as Bill's lover, implying that Elle herself also had some
kind of sexual relationship with him. Despite this, Elle does grudgingly respect the Bride, describing her as "the
greatest warrior [she] had ever met" and also believing that she deserved better than to have supposedly met her end
23
Hattori Hanzo
at the hands of someone like Budd.
Like Bill and The Bride, Elle was trained by Pai Mei. When she showed disrespect to Pai Mei by calling him a
"miserable old fool", he responded by plucking out her right eye for her insolence, which is why she is shown to
wear an eyepatch. In retaliation, Elle murdered Pai Mei by poisoning his meal of fish-heads. When Bill learns that
the Bride survived the attempt on her life, he orders Elle to go kill her at the hospital where she was then lying
comatose. Disguised as a nurse, Elle nearly injects the Bride with a deadly poison when Bill calls her to abort the
mission. Though Elle wanted to kill the Bride while she was incapacitated, she abides by Bill's wishes.
When Budd (Sidewinder) captures the Bride, he calls Elle to offer her the Bride's Hanzo sword. Elle agrees to pay
one million dollars for the sword, on the condition that Budd makes The Bride "suffer until her last breath". Budd
buries the Bride alive, but she eventually escapes and lies in wait near Budd's trailer. Elle pays Budd for the sword
with a suitcase containing $1 million but when Budd opens the case, a concealed black mamba bites Budd and he
succumbs to its venom. Elle calls Bill and frames the Bride for Budd's death, also taking credit for Budd's live burial
of the Bride and tells Bill the grave's location. When Elle is about to leave the trailer, the Bride ambushes her. The
two women engage in an improvised weapons fight which evolves into a sword fight, with the Bride having to use
Budd's Hanzo sword (thought to have been long-ago pawned, by Budd's statement to Bill). During the fight, Elle
reveals that she killed Pai Mei; enraged, the Bride snatches out Elle's remaining eye. The Bride leaves Elle, now
completely blind, thrashing wildly on the floor of the trailer with the black mamba still loose inside. Though it can
be inferred that Elle was also killed by the black mamba, her fate is unknown or rather undecided.
Budd (Sidewinder)
Budd, a.k.a. Sidewinder (portrayed by Michael Madsen), is Bill's degenerate younger brother who was recognized
by Bill as 'the only man I ever loved', an epigraph etched onto Budd's Hanzo sword. He was the only other male
Deadly Viper Squad member and, since the assassination squad's disbandment, adopted a redneck-like life-style.
Living in a mobile home where he steadily became an alcoholic, Budd makes ends meet by working as a bouncer at
a local strip club. When told by Bill that Beatrix was coming to kill him, Budd philosophically stated "That woman
deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die. But then again, so does she." (When Budd makes this statement in
Volume 1, the last sentence is not included; the full statement is spoken in Volume 2). Budd once owned a Hattori
Hanzo katana and told Bill, who told Elle, that he had sold it for $250 in El Paso, Texas. He actually lied because
The Bride later found the sword in a golf bag in the bedroom of Budd's trailer. During Bill and Budd's discourse, Bill
mentions an unpleasant event between the two of them that led to their falling out, but the details of this event are
never explicitly mentioned.
When the Bride finally does find Budd, he is prepared for her sneak attack, shooting her with rock salt from a
double-barreled shotgun (making him the only Deadly Viper to single-handedly defeat The Bride) and buries her
alive (later described as a 'Texas funeral'). Before closing the casket, he tells The Bride that her live burial is
retribution for breaking Bill's heart. Returning to his trailer, Budd gives the Bride's priceless Hattori Hanzo sword to
Elle in return for $1 million in cash; he is then repeatedly bitten in the face by a black mamba concealed in the
suitcase (ironically The Bride's Deadly Viper codename) containing the cash. She takes advantage of the situation in
torturing Budd slowly by reading useful information about Black Mamba poison and the effects of it if not injected
with anti-venom. As he dies in agony minutes later, Elle tells Budd that she feels regret because she never had a
chance to take the Bride on herself and that she had to die at the hands of miserable cowboy like him.
24
Hattori Hanzo
Associates of O-Ren Ishii

In the quest for revenge, The Bride's first target is O-Ren Ishii, who during the intervening four years has risen to
become a major leader of the Tokyo organized crime world. But before The Bride battles and defeats her, she must
first confront and bring down her associates one by one.
Sofie Fatale
Sofie Fatale (portrayed by Julie Dreyfus) is O-Ren Ishii's lawyer, second-in-command, and best friend. Sofie Fatale
is of mixed Japanese/French descent and serves as an interpreter and is seen speaking English, Japanese and French
fluently. Although she is referred to as a protege of Bill's, she does not display any martial arts skills during her
appearances.
Sofie Fatale is present at the "House of Blue Leaves" when The Bride arrives to kill O-Ren Ishii. The Bride is riding
her motorbike through Tokyo, stalking Sofie's Nissan Fairlady Z when she is seen at a stop light using her phone; her
left-handedness, and later, the phone's "Auld Lang Syne" ringtone, are recognized by The Bride. She remembers that
Sofie was present during the El Paso massacre, and while she did not assist in beating The Bride, she did answer her
ringing phone, while callously ignoring the injured Bride and the rest of the carnage. The Bride captures Sofie at the
House of Blue Leaves and brings her to O-Ren Ishii. The Bride then cuts off Sofie's left arm (the arm she holds her
phone with) as a means of both exacting revenge on her and showing Ishii her intentions for a duel.
Later, The Bride interrogates Sofie to learn the location of the rest of the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination
Squad, threatening to further dismember her when she refuses to speak. She then sends her rolling down a hill to a
hospital for medical attention so she can live on and tell Bill what has happened and that the Bride is still alive.[1]
Although her fate is left ambiguous, Tarantino has commented that a potential third Kill Bill movie would focus on
the revenge of Vernita's daughter Nikki against the Bride, and that Nikki would be trained by Elle and Sofie.
Apparently, Sofie would inherit all of O-Ren and Bill's money.[citation needed]
Crazy 88
The Crazy 88 are a masked Yakuza gang under her control who originally employed to help O-Ren take control of
the Tokyo underworld. It includes members of both sexes and a wide age range. Most of them fight using katanas
except for three members. One is shown with a pair of throwing axes and another is seen briefly wielding a meteor
hammer. Johnny Mo, the clan's leader (under O-Ren), uses dual shortswords which, when each is sheathed in the
other's handle, can be used as a fighting staff. The Bride manages to fend off the entire gang, killing, mortally
wounding, and dismembering many. After the fight, any surviving member was taken into custody after leaving the
nightclub. Their arrest by Japanese police and hospitalization before being locked up in prison is not shown. One of
the last of the Crazy 88 member the Bride faces before O-Ren is a very timid teenage boy whose katana she cuts into
several pieces with her own, after which he surrenders immediately. She spanks him with the flat of her blade and
orders him to leave the criminal business by the word "Go home to your mother".
Aside from Johnny Mo, only one member of the Crazy 88 is identified and named. Miki is apparently O-Ren Ishii's
bodyguard, aside from Gogo. He is the first member to attack the Bride although he's quickly killed when the Bride
impales his chest with her sword. Quentin Tarantino appears as one of the members whose throat is slit after the
Bride dismembers the eye of one of the gangsters.
The Crazy 88 allegedly does not actually have eighty-eight members. Bill says that they adopted the name because it
"sounded cool". There are only 40 actors credited to the Crazy 88.
Metaphors are used to create the Crazy 88. 8 ( hachi, ya) is considered a lucky number in some Eastern
culturesWikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Unsupported attributions - it suggests growing prosperous,
because the letter () broadens gradually. 8 ( ya) was also seen as holy in ancient times.[citation needed]. Another
metaphor is that there are 88 keys on a standard piano. The gang are dressed in black and white like the piano keys.
25
Hattori Hanzo
There are two different versions of the fight scene with the Crazy 88. The original version was released as a Japanese
Unrated Limited Edition DVD in Japan and U.S. which has the fight in full color. Tarantino was forced to tone down
the violence of the whole fight the scene by omitting a few scenes and adding a black and white effect to the finished
product for the film's release. The Black and White version is used on television airings up to this day.
Johnny Mo
Johnny Mo (portrayed by Gordon Liu, who also portrays Pai Mei in Vol. 2) is the leader of O-Ren's personal army,
the Crazy 88. Johnny Mo is most prominently featured in the "House of Blue Leaves" scene. After The Bride kills
Gogo Yubari and O-Ren Ishii's six bodyguards, Johnny Mo, armed with a pair of sht, arrives with an army of
Crazy 88s. He is a more proficient fighter than the rest of the gang, nearly tipping the scales in their favor and
holding his own against The Bride for several minutes alone while fighting her on top of a balcony railing. She
eventually chops off his leg and he falls into a bloodied fountain pool from the second floor balcony and is presumed
dead thereafter.
Gogo Yubari
Gogo Yubari (portrayed by Chiaki Kuriyama) is a young associate of O-Ren Ishii. Gogo is the bloodthirsty and
ultraviolent seventeen-year-old schoolgirl who takes a sadistic delight in killing. Her fighting style is a combination
of wushu techniques using chain whip and rope dart. She is O-Ren's top assassin and personal bodyguard. Gogo's
disturbed mind and vicious penchant for killing is displayed when she offers herself to a drunken man in a bar and
then disembowels him, asking him, "Do you still wish to penetrate me?... Or is it I who has penetrated you?"
Later on, she takes on Beatrix Kiddo when the latter has already slaughtered several of O-Ren Ishii's immediate
guards at the House of Blue Leaves. Although the Bride gives her the opportunity to walk away, Gogo refuses and
takes her on with a large meteor hammer, almost overcoming the Bride by strangling her savagely with the chain.
Eventually Kiddo distracts Gogo by driving a broken chair leg studded with nails into her foot, then kills her by
driving the nails into the side of her head.
Gogo Yubari resembles the character that Chiaki Kuriyama previously portrayed in the 2000 Japanese film, Battle
Royale, Takako Chigusa. and the aparence in American Horror Story: Coven as Yoko Nagasaki.
Other characters
B.B.
B.B. (portrayed by Perla Haney-Jardine) is the four-year-old daughter of The Bride and Bill who was in utero during
the massacre at the Two Pines chapel. Upon first coming out of her coma, The Bride believes her unborn child was
killed in the attack and promises to avenge her death. The audience does not learn that she is alive until the last line
of Vol. 1, and The Bride does not find out until the final act of Vol. 2. B.B. was named (probably in homage to her
parents, Beatrix and Bill) and raised by Bill, who in Vol. 2 openly admitted to her the terrible crime he had
committed against The Bride.
Buck
Buck (portrayed by Michael Bowen) is a male nurse at the hospital where The Bride laid comatose for four years.
During this period, he regularly took sexual advantage of The Bride, raping her unconscious body and later also
prostituting her to other male clients. After she first awakens, The Bride attacks Buck and interrogates him on the
whereabouts of Bill. Suddenly, she begins recalling Buck's prior assaults on her (including his infamous line, "My
name's Buck and I'm here to fuck!") and, in a fit of rage, slams his head with a door, killing him with an intracranial
hemorrhage. The Bride then steals Buck's clothes and escapes from the hospital in his truck, the "Pussy Wagon"
(censored to "Party Wagon" for network broadcast). She uses the truck during her scenes in the United States during
26
Hattori Hanzo
Volume 1, but in Volume 2 says that it has broken down and she has thus acquired another vehicle.
Earl McGraw
Earl McGraw (portrayed by Michael Parks) is a Texas Ranger who investigates the murders at the wedding chapel,
and the first person to realize that The Bride has managed to survive the attack. This is the second appearance of
McGraw in a Tarantino film, as he had previously been a character in From Dusk till Dawn (in which he was killed
by Tarantino himself starring as Richie Gecko); he would later appear in both features that make up Tarantino and
Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse.
Esteban Vihaio
Esteban Vihaio (portrayed by Michael Parks) is an eighty-year-old Mexican pimp based in the border city of Ciudad
Acua who, as a friend of Bill and Budd's mother, was seen by Bill as a father figure. His prostitutes' illegitimate
children are apparently recruited into an organized crime gang called the Acua Boys, of which Esteban is the de
facto leader. When The Bride visits him, he tells her of Bill's whereabouts, noting that it is what Bill would have
wanted Esteban to do ("How else is he ever going to see you again?"). He also notes that if he were in Bill's situation
when Bill had tracked the Bride down he says he would have only mutilated her face instead of trying to kill
herrevealed as his apparent discipline of choice for his prostitutes.
Hattori Hanz
Hattori Hanz (portrayed by Sonny Chiba) is still the finest swordsmith in the world; however, he has not created a
new sword in 28 years since taking a blood oath before God to never again make instruments of death. He became
the owner of a sushi shop in Okinawa. The choice of Okinawa was deliberate, as the island is regarded as one of the
worst places to get sushi, making a sushi shop there an excellent hiding place.[citation needed] Hanz initially met the
Bride when she was under the guise of an American tourist visiting Okinawa. Hanz initially refused to make a
sword for her, or even give her one he had previously made, but was convinced to make one for her after the Bride
alluded that she wanted to kill his former student Bill. It is also alluded in the film that the mere mention of Bill's
name was sufficient to make Hanz violate his blood oath because Bill did something to make Hanz truly furious
with him (possibly because Bill chose to become a contract killer), and made the sword so Bill could be killed with
it. According to Hanz, it is the finest and sharpest sword he has ever made, and stated to The Bride "If, on your
journey, should you encounter God, God will be cut." When the Bride tells Bill that she got him to make her a sword
by giving him his name, Bill admits "that'd do it."
Quentin Tarantino stated in the supplementary material on the Kill Bill DVD that the character was named in tribute
to Sonny Chiba's former role as Hattori Hanz (the real-life historical 16th-century Iga Ninja) in Shadow Warriors
(Kage no Gundan). The joke is that Chiba played multiple generations of the character: even when the character
actually died, the next installment would shift to covering his descendant, also named "Hattori Hanz" after his
famous predecessor. The implication is that the "Hattori Hanz" seen in Kill Bill is the current descendant of the
Hanz lineage in the present-day. Tarantino went so far as to call him Hattori Hanz the XIV.
Chiba's own daughter, Japanese actress Juri Manase, also appears as a member of the Crazy 88.
27
Hattori Hanzo
Karen Kim
Karen Kim (portrayed by Helen Kim) is an assassin sent to kill The Bride while she was still a Deadly Viper. She
narrowly misses hitting The Bride with shotgun fire. Before the shootout can worsen, Karen is convinced to leave in
peace when The Bride proves that she is pregnant, to which Karen says 'Congratulations', and then leaves.
Larry
Larry (portrayed by Larry Bishop) is the owner of the strip club, My Oh My Club, where Budd works as a bouncer.
He is seen doing cocaine with one of the dancers before Budd strolls into work 20 minutes late. An argument ensues
over the fact that "there is nobody there to bounce". He almost fires Budd but tells him to come back when he calls
him.
Nikita "Nikki" Bell

Nikita "Nikki" Bell (portrayed by Ambrosia Kelley [2]) is a young girl and the four-year-old daughter to Vernita
Green and Dr. Lawrence Bell. She makes an appearance in Vol. 1 when she unknowingly interrupts a battle between
her mother and The Bride in the living room. Vernita explains that the family dog made the mess, to conceal her past
from Nikki. Nikki accidentally witnesses her mother's death at the hands of The Bride, who was unaware that Nikki
was present until she turned around and saw her. The Bride tells her that her mother had it coming. However, with
sympathy, the Bride tells Nikki if she still feels "raw" about it, she will be waiting for her in the future. Quentin
Tarantino has commented that any potential Kill Bill sequel will focus on her revenge against the Bride.
Pai Mei
"Pai Mei" redirects here. For the historical figure, see Bak Mei.
Pai Mei (Chinese: ; pinyin: Bi Mi; literally White Eyebrow) was performed by veteran Chinese actor
Gordon Liu (who previously played Johnny Mo in the Vol. 1). As depicted in the film, Pai Mei was a powerful, very
old practitioner of the Bak Mei style of kung fu. Pai Mei was the former teacher and master of The Bride, Bill, and
Elle, although it is unclear if he instructed the other members of the DeVAS. Despite being a wise and
knowledgeable White Lotus priest, he also was racist (specifically towards Caucasians), xenophobic (towards the
Japanese and Americans), and a misogynist. He only agreed to take on The Bride as a student after having a very
violent (offscreen) martials arts duel with Bill, who then adds that Pai Mei was a very, very old man whose
advancing years had taught him the value of company, while not brightening up his angry disposition. In spite of
being both a Caucasian American and a woman, Beatrix ultimately wins his approval for her perseverance under his
torturous training regimen.
Pai Mei was alleged to be able to perform the lethal Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Bill describes the
technique as the deadliest blow in all of martial arts. He adds that Pai Mei hits the victim with his finger tips at five
different pressure points on the victim's body and then lets him/her walk away. But once the victim has taken five
steps, the heart explodes inside the body and the victim dies.
Pai Mei claims that he teaches no one this manoeuvre. He ultimately makes an exception because he has given the
Bride his sincere respect after the first stages of brutal training. He teaches the Bride this blow off-screen and the
Bride, in turn, uses it to kill Bill.
Elle, Pai Mei's last student, is responsible for his death. During a training session, Elle insults Pai Mei by calling him
a "miserable old fool". As punishment for her insolence, Pai Mei plucks out Elle's right eye. In retribution, Elle puts
a deadly poison in fish heads that he subsequently eats, killing him.
In the first version of the script, Gordon Liu' character speaks Cantonese while Quentin Tarantino dubs his voice in
English and it resulted in a bad dub job. This idea was ultimately discarded, and Mei's dialogue was left undubbed.[2]
28
Hattori Hanzo
Rufus
The organ player at the Two Pines chapel, Rufus is a former professional blues musician who died in the massacre.
Rufus states that he has played with Rufus Thomas and numerous other well-known R&B acts: "I was a Drell. I was
a Drifter. I was a Coaster. I was part of The Gang. I was a Bar-Kay... If they come through Texas, I done played with
them." The character was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, who had starred in two previous Tarantino films, Pulp
Fiction and Jackie Brown; and starred in Django Unchained later on and performed the narration in two scenes in
Inglourious Basterds.
Tommy Plympton
Tommy Plympton (portrayed by Christopher Allen Nelson) is The Bride's fianc who is murdered at Two Pines. He
is the proprietor of a record shop and employed The Bride, who used the assumed name Arlene Machiavelli when
she met him.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the first volume of the two-part Quentin Tarantino film Kill
Bill. Released on September 23, 2003, it reached #45 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #1 on the soundtracks
chart. It was organized, and mostly produced and orchestrated by RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan.
Soundtrack development
In a 2003 Interview, RZA spoke about the soundtrack's creation process:
It was more of a collaboration. He had an idea and a vision when he wrote the script. I think I was more of
somebody that kept it in the guidelines of what he wanted. He was like, here go the eggs, the milk, the cake,
the sugar, everything, and Im going to stir it up. Put this in the oven, watch it, take it out in forty-five minutes.
Now, am I going to take it out in forty five minutes or am I going to fall asleep? I made sure it got out and if I
saw something wrong with it, I fixed it. So when he saw it, he was like, this is cake. There was one situation
where you see, "Crane and White Lightning." Thats part of the original score, so its not really a song. A lot of
that stuff is what I use to keep the vibe going between songs.
"Crane and White Lightning" is a piece of music that Quentin wanted on the soundtrack, but was originally set
for a Metallica track. Theres only one piece of music that I didnt feel comfortable with when we were done.
We lost a sample, I made one Hip Hop beat. I was like I gotta throw one in there. Quentin loved this beat. We
rocked with it and it was one of the first things we did. I could've gotten away with it. It was a sample, but so
undetectable. So unnoticeable. I wanted to take a chance, but in the movie business you cant take those kind
of chances. I wouldnt risk nobody else. If it was my movie, I would have taken a chance. But this is Quentin
Tarantinos movie.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the second volume of the two-part Quentin Tarantino film,
Kill Bill. First released on April 13, 2004, it reached #58 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Billboard soundtracks
chart in the US. It also reached the ARIA Top 50 album charts in Australia. It was orchestrated by Tarantino's fellow
filmmaker and personal friend Robert Rodriguez, as well as RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan.
Development
Robert Rodriguez was hired by Tarantino to score the film. Rodriguez did it as a favour for his friend, Tarantino,
asking to be paid one dollar for his work. Tarantino repaid this favour by directing a scene of Rodriguez's Sin City
for the same fee.[2] RZA said of the soundtrack:
"With Kill Bill I did score and songs, meaning that we put a lot of songs in [the movie] from old
collections of records and I composed music for some scenes, natural music. When we did Kill Bill 2,
you know, we brought Robert Rodriguez in. Check this out, he took my music and he kept the
foundation there, though. With Robert he didn't want to remove any of the electronic [sounds]. He said
'No.' I was like 'Take out all the electronic stuff, you know, so it can be [more like a traditional score].'
He said 'No, man. I like the electronic stuff. This is the reason I wanted to do this.' So he took the
electronic stuff and kept it there, then built the orchestrations on top of it, you know what I mean?" [3]

Quentin Jerome Tarantino (/trntino/; born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter,
producer, and actor. His films have been characterized by nonlinear storylines, satirical subject matter, and an
aestheticization of violence that often results in the exhibition of neo-noir characteristics. Tarantino has been dubbed
a "director DJ," comparing his stylistic use of mix-and-match genre and music infusion to the use of sampling in DJ
exhibits, morphing a variety of old works to create a new one.
Tarantino grew up an avid film fan and worked in a video rental store while training to act. His career began in the
late 1980s, when he wrote and directed My Best Friend's Birthday, the screenplay of which formed the basis for True
Romance. In the early 1990s, he began his career as an independent filmmaker with the release of Reservoir Dogs in
1992; regarded as a classic and cult hit, it was called the "Greatest Independent Film of All Time" by Empire
magazine. Its popularity was boosted by the release of his second film, 1994's Pulp Fiction, a neo-noir crime film
that became a major critical and commercial success, widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Paying
homage to 1970s blaxploitation films, Tarantino released Jackie Brown in 1997, an adaptation of the novel Rum
Punch.
Quentin Tarantino
Kill Bill, a highly stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions of Chinese martial arts, spaghetti westerns and
Italian horror, followed six years later, and was released as two films: Vol. 1 in 2003, and Vol. 2 in 2004. Tarantino
released Death Proof in 2007 as part of a double feature with friend Robert Rodriguez, under the collective title
Grindhouse. His long-postponed Inglourious Basterds, which tells the fictional alternate history story of two plots to
assassinate Nazi Germany's political leadership, was released in 2009 and became his second highest-grossing film
to date ($321 million). His most recent and highest grossing work is 2012's critically acclaimed Django Unchained, a
western film set in the antebellum era of the Deep South.
Tarantino's films have garnered both critical and commercial success. He has received many industry awards,
including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and the Palme d'Or, and has been
nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy. Filmmaker and historian Peter Bogdanovich has called him "the single most
influential director of his generation".
Early life
Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is the son of actor and amateur musician, Tony Tarantino, and
nurse, Connie McHugh. He has a younger half-brother named Ron. Tarantino's father, from Queens, New York, is of
Italian descent, while his mother has Irish and Cherokee ancestry. His stepfather was Curt Zastoupil, a musician.
Tarantino was raised by his mother, as his parents separated before his birth.[2] Tarantino says that his mother dated
NBA star Wilt Chamberlain. When he was two years old, he moved to Torrance, California, and later to the Harbor
City neighborhood of Los Angeles. There, he took drama classes at Fleming Junior High School. He attended
Narbonne High School in Harbor City for his freshman year before dropping out of school at age 15 (Tarantino has
provided contradictory information about this; he claims he was 16 when he dropped out), to attend an acting class
full-time at the James Best Theater Company in Toluca Lake. In a 2013 interview with NPR, Tarantino talked about
how his mother's boyfriends would take him to blaxploitation movies.
Tarantino grew bored with the James Best Acting School and quit after two years, although he kept in touch with all
of his acting friends. He then landed a job which threatened to interfere with his long-term acting ambitions.[3] As an
employee of Video Archives, a now-defunct video rental store in Manhattan Beach, he and fellow movie enthusiasts
(including Roger Avary) discussed cinema and customer video recommendations at length. He paid close attention
to the types of films people liked to rent and has cited that experience as inspiration for his directorial career.
Tarantino has been quoted as saying: "When people ask me if I went to film school, I tell them, 'no, I went to films'."
Film career
1980s
After Tarantino met Lawrence Bender at a Hollywood party, Bender encouraged him to write a screenplay.
Tarantino co-wrote and directed a movie called My Best Friend's Birthday in 1987. The final reel of the film was
almost fully destroyed in a lab fire that occurred during editing, but its screenplay would form the basis for True
Romance.
1990s
In January 1992, Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and was an immediate hit.
The film received a positive response from critics. Reservoir Dogs was a dialogue-driven heist movie that set the
tone for his later films. Tarantino wrote the script in three and a half weeks and Bender forwarded it to director
Monte Hellman. Hellman helped Tarantino to secure funding from Richard Gladstein at Live Entertainment (which
later became Artisan, now known as Lionsgate). Harvey Keitel read the script and also contributed to funding, taking
a co-producer role, and a part in the movie.[4]

Tarantino's screenplay True Romance was optioned and eventually released in

1993. The second script that Tarantino sold was Natural Born Killers, which was
revised by Dave Veloz, Richard Rutowski and director Oliver Stone. Tarantino
was given story credit, and in an interview stated that he wished the film well.
Enmity related to the film and the publication of a "tell all" book titled Killer
Instinct by Jane Hamsher, who with Don Murphy had an original option on the
screenplay and produced the film, led to Tarantino's physically assaulting
Murphy in the AGO restaurant in West Hollywood, CA, in October of 1997.
Murphy subsequently filed a $5M lawsuit against Tarantino which was
eventually settled out of court. Following the success of Reservoir Dogs,
Tarantino was approached by Hollywood and offered numerous projects,
including Speed and Men in Black. He instead retreated to Amsterdam to work
on his script for Pulp Fiction.
Tarantino has had a number of
collaborations with director Robert
Rodriguez.
In Pulp Fiction (1994), Tarantino maintained the aestheticization of violence, for

which he is known, as well as his non-linear story lines. Tarantino received an
Academy Award in the category Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for
the Screen, which he shared with Roger Avary. He also received a nomination in the category Best Director. The
film received another 5 nominations, including Best Picture. Tarantino also won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film
Festival for Pulp Fiction. The film has grossed over $200 million and was met with outstanding reviews.
After Pulp Fiction was completed, he then directed Episode Four of Four Rooms, "The Man from Hollywood", a
tribute to the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode that starred Steve McQueen. Four Rooms was a collaborative effort
with filmmakers Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, and Robert Rodriguez. The film was very poorly received by
critics. He appeared in and wrote the script for Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk till Dawn, which saw mixed reviews
from the critics yet led to two sequels, for which Tarantino and Rodriguez would only serve as executive producers.
Tarantino's third feature film was Jackie Brown (1997), an adaptation of Rum Punch, a novel by Elmore Leonard. An
homage to blaxploitation films, it starred Pam Grier, who starred in many of that genre's films of the 1970s. Leonard
considers Jackie Brown the best of the twenty-six different screen adaptations of his novels and short stories.[citation

2000s
Tarantino had planned to make the war film provisionally titled Inglourious Basterds, but postponed it to write and
direct Kill Bill (released as two films, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2), a highly stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions
of Wuxia (Chinese martial arts), Jidaigeki (Japanese period cinema), Spaghetti Westerns and Italian horror. It was
based on a character (The Bride) and a plot that he and Kill Bill's lead actress, Uma Thurman, had developed during
the making of Pulp Fiction. In 2004, Tarantino returned to Cannes, where he served as President of the Jury.
Although Kill Bill was not in competition, Vol. 2 had an evening screening, while it was also shown on the morning
of the final day in its original 3-hour-plus version, with Tarantino himself attending the full screening. Tarantino then
went on to be credited as "Special Guest Director" in Robert Rodriguez's 2005 neo-noir film Sin City for his work
directing the car sequence featuring Clive Owen and Benicio del Toro.

The next film project was Grindhouse, which he co-directed with
Rodriguez. Released in theaters on April 6, 2007, Tarantino's
contribution to the Grindhouse project was titled Death Proof. It began
as a take on 1970s slasher films, but evolved dramatically as the
project unfolded. Ticket sales were low despite mostly positive
reviews.
Among his producing credits are the horror film Hostel (which
included numerous references to his own Pulp Fiction), the adaptation
of Elmore Leonard's Killshot (for which Tarantino was credited as an
executive producer, although he was no longer associated with the film
after its 2009 release.) and Hell Ride (written and directed by Larry
Bishop and Jonny Lane, who both appeared in Kill Bill Vol. 2).
Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds is the story of a group of

guerrilla Jewish-American soldiers in Nazi-occupied France during
World War II. Filming began in October 2008. The film opened on August 21, 2009 to very positive reviews and the
No. 1 spot at the box office worldwide. It went on to become Tarantino's highest grossing film until surpassed by
Django Unchained three years later.
Tarantino in 2009
2010s
In 2011, production began on Django Unchained, about the revenge of
a slave in the U.S. South in 1858. The film stemmed from Tarantino's
desire to produce a spaghetti western set in America's Deep South;
Tarantino has called the proposed style "a southern", stating that he
wanted "to do movies that deal with America's horrible past with
slavery and stuff but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue
movies. I want to do them like they're genre films, but they deal with
everything that America has never dealt with because it's ashamed of
it, and other countries don't really deal with because they don't feel
they have the right to". The film was released on December 25, 2012.
During an interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy about the film on
Channel 4 News, Tarantino reacted angrily when questioned about an
alleged link between movie violence and real life violence in light of
the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
A long-running rumor in the industry is that Tarantino has been
interested in filming a new version of Bret Easton Ellis book Less
Than Zero (1985). His friend Roger Avary adapted Rules of Attraction,
Tarantino in Paris in January 2013, at the French
premiere of Django Unchained.
also based on a novel by Ellis, in 2002, and since both he and
Tarantino like the works by Ellis, Tarantino has been eyeing the
possibility of adapting Less Than Zero. Ellis recently confirmed, in an interview for Vice magazine, that Tarantino
has been "trying to get Fox to let him remake it". At a Q&A session at Harvard Book Store in 2012, Ellis once again
confirms, in reply to a question if Less Than Zero will be remade, that Quentin Tarantino "has shown interest" in
adapting the story.
Tarantino's Chevy Malibu, stolen from the set of Pulp Fiction in 1994, was recovered in 2013.[5]
Quentin Tarantino
As producer
In recent years, Tarantino has used his Hollywood power to give smaller and foreign films more attention than they
might have received otherwise. These films are usually labeled "Presented by Quentin Tarantino" or "Quentin
Tarantino Presents". The first of these productions was in 2001 with the Hong Kong martial arts film Iron Monkey
which made over $14 million in the United States, seven times its budget. In 2004 he brought the Chinese martial
arts film Hero to U.S. shores. It ended up having a No. 1 opening at the box office and making $53.5 million. In
2006, the latest "Quentin Tarantino presents" production, Hostel, opened at No. 1 at the box office with a $20.1
million opening weekend, good for 8th all time in January. He presented 2006's The Protector, and is a producer of
the (2007) film Hostel: Part II. in 2008 he produced the Larry Bishop helmed Hell Ride, a revenge biker film.
In addition, in 1995 Tarantino formed Rolling Thunder Pictures with Miramax as a piece to release or re-release
several independent and foreign features. By 1997, Miramax shut down the company due to "lack of interest" in the
pictures released. The following films were released by Rolling Thunder Pictures: Chungking Express (1994, dir.
Wong Kar-wai), Switchblade Sisters (1975, dir. Jack Hill), Sonatine (1993, dir. Takeshi Kitano), Hard Core Logo
(1996, dir. Bruce McDonald), The Mighty Peking Man (1977, dir. Ho Meng-Hua), Detroit 9000 (1973, dir. Arthur
Marks), The Beyond (1981, dir. Lucio Fulci) and Curdled (1996, dir. Reb Braddock).
Other potential films

Before Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino had considered making The Vega Brothers. The film would have
starred Michael Madsen and John Travolta reprising their roles of Vic (Mr. Blonde) from Reservoir Dogs and
Vincent from Pulp Fiction. In 2007, because of the age of the actors and the onscreen deaths of both characters, he
claimed that the film (which he intended to call Double V Vega) is "kind of unlikely now."
In 2009, in an interview for Italian TV, after being asked about the success of the two Kill Bill films, Tarantino said
"You haven't asked me about the third one", and implied that he would be making a third Kill Bill film with the
words "The Bride will fight again!"[6] Later that year, at the Morelia International Film Festival,[7] Tarantino
announced that he would like to film Kill Bill: Vol. 3. He explained that he wanted ten years to pass between The
Bride's last conflict, in order to give her and her daughter a period of peace.
In a 2012 interview for the website We Got This Covered, Tarantino said that a third Kill Bill film would "probably
not" happen. He also said that he would not be directing a new James Bond film, saying that he was only interested
in directing Casino Royale at one point. In a late 2012 interview with the online magazine The Root, Tarantino
clarified his remarks and described his next film as being the final entry in a Django-Inglourious Basterds trilogy
called Killer Crow. The film will depict a group of World War II-era black troops who have "been fucked over by
the American military and kind of go apeshit. They basically -- the way Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds
are having an 'Apache resistance' -- [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers
and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland."
Personal life
Tarantino has been romantically linked with American actress Mira Sorvino, directors Allison Anders and Sofia
Coppola, actresses Julie Dreyfus and actress/model Didem Erol from 2007-2011, as well as comedians Margaret Cho
and Kathy Griffin.[8] There have also been rumors about his relationship with Uma Thurman, whom he has referred
to as his "muse". However, Tarantino has stressed that their relationship is strictly platonic.[9] Tarantino stated "I'm
not saying that I'll never get married or have a kid before I'm 60, but I've made a choice, so far, to go on this road
alone. Because this is my time to make movies."
His best friend is fellow filmmaker and frequent collaborator Robert Rodriguez who, in the credits of Kill Bill
Volume 2, he refers to as his brother. He is also close friends with Eli Roth, Paul Thomas Anderson, Kevin Smith,
and Harvey Keitel. He has stated he believes in God but does not belong to a specific religion.

Tarantino also has said that he plans to retire from filmmaking at age 60, to focus on writing novels and film
literature. He also is skeptical of the film industry going digital, saying, "If it actually gets to the place where you
can't show 35mm film in theatres anymore and everything is digital projection, I won't even make it to 60." On
February 18, 2010, it was announced that Tarantino had bought the New Beverly Cinema. Tarantino allowed the
current owners to continue operating the theater, but he will be making programming suggestions from time to time.
He was quoted as saying: "As long as I'm alive, and as long as I'm rich, the New Beverly will be there, showing films
shot on 35mm."[10]
Influences and style of filmmaking

An awards ceremony in the Critics Choice Awards celebrated Tarantino, citing his start in filmmaking in his 20s.
Music is an important part of his filmmaking style. He said he would listen to music in his bedroom and create
scenes that correlated to the music playing.[11]
In the 2012 Sight & Sound directors' poll, Tarantino revealed his top 12 films: Apocalypse Now, The Bad News
Bears, Carrie, Dazed and Confused, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Great Escape, His Girl Friday, Jaws,
Pretty Maids All in a Row, and Rolling Thunder, Sorcerer, and Taxi Driver.[12] In 2009, he named Kinji Fukasaku's
violent action film Battle Royale as his favorite film released since he became a director in 1992.[13] He is also a fan
of the 1981 film Blow Out directed by Brian DePalma, so much so that he used the main star of the film (John
Travolta) in Pulp Fiction. Tarantino praised Mel Gibson's 2006 film Apocalypto, saying, "I think it's a masterpiece. It
was perhaps the best film of that year."[14]
Tarantino in 2007
In August 2007, while teaching a four-hour film course during the 9th
Cinemanila International Film Festival in Manila, Tarantino cited
Filipino directors Cirio Santiago, Eddie Romero, and Gerardo de Len
as personal icons from the 1970s, citing De Leon's "soul-shattering,
life-extinguishing" movies on vampires and female bondage,
particularly Women in Cages. "It is just harsh, harsh, harsh," he said,
and described the final shot as one of "devastating despair". Upon his
arrival in the Philippines, Tarantino was quoted in the local newspaper
as saying, "I'm a big fan of RP (Republic of the Philippines) cinema."
He often uses graphic violence that has been proven seductive to
audiences and has received harsh criticism for his use of gore and
blood in an entrancing simultaneously repulsive way. His films have
been subject to staunch criticism and scorn for his use of violence,
blood and action as a "colour" within cinema, rebuked for allegedly
using human suffering as a punchline.[15]

Actor Steve Buscemi has described Tarantino's different style of film making as "bursting with energy" and
"focused," a style that has earned him many accolades worldwide. According to Tarantino, a recurring hallmark in
all his movies is that there is a different sense of humor in each one, which gets the audience to laugh at things that
aren't funny.[16] However, he insists that his films are dramas, not comedies. Michael Winner, while appearing on an
episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories (an ITV production), stated that Quentin Tarantino was a "big fan" of Death
Wish.
Tarantino has stated that the celebrated animation-action sequence in his film Kill Bill (2003) was inspired from the
use of 2D animated sequences in actor Kamal Hassan's Tamil film Aalavandhan. Tarantino often seeks to harness,
manipulate and ultimately imitate the aesthetic elements and conventions typically used in the cartoon medium.
More specifically, he often attempts to meld comic strip formulas and aesthetics within a live action film sequence
and in some cases uses the literal use of cartoon or anime images. Tarantino's cinematic ambition to marry artistic
expression via live action and cartoonism is yet another example of his ability to morph genres and conventions to
Quentin Tarantino
produce a new and authentic style of his own.
He often manipulates the use of commodities to propel plot development or present an intriguing juxtaposition that
ultimately enhances his notorious combination of humor and violence, equating a branded genre with branded
consumption. He often pairs bizarre props with an equally bizarre scene, in which the prop itself develops into
something of higher substance. Likewise, he often favors particular brand names of his own creation to make
promotional appearances. The typical brands he uses within his films are "Acua Boys Tex-Mex Food", "Big
Kahuna Burger", "G.O. Juice", "Jack Rabbit Slim's", "K-Billy", "Red Apple cigarettes", "Tenku Brand Beer", and
"Teriyaki Donut".
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Tarantino said: "There is one [biopic] story that I could be interested in, but it
would probably be one of the last movies I [ever make]", "My favorite hero in American history is John Brown. He's
my favorite American who ever lived. He basically single-handedly started the road to end slavery and the fact that
he killed people to do it. He decided, 'If we start spilling white blood, then they're going to start getting the idea.' "[17]
Controversies
Gun violence
Quentin Tarantino does not believe that violence in movies inspires acts of violence in real life, stating in response to
a question about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, that "the issue is gun control and mental
health." He also said "it's disrespectful to their memory... of the people who died to talk about movies." When asked
in 2013 by Britain's Channel 4 News reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy "Why are you so sure that there's no link
between enjoying movie violence and enjoying real violence?", Tarantino responded by saying, "I refuse your
question. I'm not a slave and you're not my master... It's none of your damn business what I think about that... I have
explained myself many times over the last twenty years, I just refuse to repeat myself over and over again."
Racial epithets
Spike Lee questioned Tarantino's use of racial epithets in his films, particularly the racially offensive epithet
"nigger". In a Variety interview discussing Jackie Brown, Lee said: "I'm not against the word... and I use it, but
Quentin is infatuated with the word. What does he want? To be made an honorary black man?" Tarantino responded
on Charlie Rose by stating:
As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the
right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they
are, all right? And to say that I can't do that because I'm white, but the Hughes brothers can do that
because they're black, that is racist. That is the heart of racism, all right. And I do not accept that... That
is how a segment of the black community that lives in Compton, lives in Inglewood, where Jackie
Brown takes place, that lives in Carson, that is how they talk. I'm telling the truth. It would not be
questioned if I was black, and I resent the question because I'm white. I have the right to tell the truth. I
do not have the right to lie.
In addition, Tarantino retaliated on The Howard Stern Show by stating Lee would have to "stand on a chair to kiss
my ass." Samuel L. Jackson, who has appeared in both directors' films, defended Tarantino's use of the word. At the
Berlin Film Festival, where Jackie Brown was being screened, Jackson responded to Lee's criticism by saying:
I don't think the word is offensive in the context of this film... Black artists think they are the only ones
allowed to use the word. Well, that's bull. Jackie Brown is a wonderful homage to black exploitation
films. This is a good film, and Spike hasn't made one of those in a few years.
Tarantino has defended his use of the word, arguing that black audiences have an appreciation of his
blaxploitation-influenced films that eludes some of his critics, and, indeed, that Jackie Brown, another oft-cited
42
Quentin Tarantino
43
example, was primarily made for "black audiences".

According to a 1995 Premiere magazine article, actor Denzel Washington also confronted Tarantino on his usage of
racial slurs in his pictures, but mentioned that Tarantino was a "fine artist."
Django Unchained was the subject of controversy due to its use of racial epithets and depiction of slavery; many
reviewers have defended the usage of the language by pointing out the historic context of race and slavery in
America. Spike Lee, in an interview with Vibe magazine said he would not see the film, explaining "All I'm going to
say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me...I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else." Lee later
tweeted, "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are
Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them." Writing in The Los Angeles Times, journalist Erin Aubry Kaplan
noted the difference between Tarantino's Jackie Brown and Django Unchained: "It is an institution whose horrors
need no exaggerating, yet Django does exactly that, either to enlighten or entertain. A white director slinging around
the n-word in a homage to '70s blaxploitation la Jackie Brown is one thing, but the same director turning the
savageness of slavery into pulp fiction is quite another."

Children
Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970) is an American actress and model. She has performed in leading roles
in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action movies. Following
early roles in films such as Dangerous Liaisons (1988), she rose to international prominence in 1994 following her
role in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for which she was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award and
a Golden Globe Award. She starred in several more films throughout the 1990s such as The Truth About Cats &
Dogs, Batman & Robin, Gattaca and Les Misrables.
She won a Golden Globe Award for the miniseries Hysterical Blindness (2002). Her career was revitalized when she
reunited with director Quentin Tarantino to play the central role in two Kill Bill films (2003/2004) which brought her
an additional two Golden Globe Award nominations and a BAFTA Award nomination.
Early life
Thurman was born in Boston, Massachusetts, Her father, Robert Thurman, a New York-born professor, is a Buddhist
writer and academic. Her mother, Nena von Schlebrgge, is a model who was born in Mexico City, Mexico, of
German, Swedish, and Danish descent. Thurman and her siblings spent time in the Himalayan town of Almora,
Uttarakhand, India, during childhood, and the Dalai Lama, to whom Robert Thurman has long been close, once
visited their home.[1] She grew up mostly in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she went to Amherst Regional Middle
Uma Thurman
School and then moved to Woodstock, New York. While her father gave his children a Buddhist upbringing, she has
the same name as one of the Hindu goddess Parvati's alternate names, "Uma", which means "Light" in Sanskrit.[2][3]
Regarding religion, she now calls herself agnostic.[4] She has three brothers, Ganden (b. 1968), Dechen (b. 1973),
and Mipam (b. 1978), and a half-sister named Taya (b. 1960), from her father's previous marriage. She is described
as having been an awkward and introverted girl who was teased for her tall frame, angular bone structure, enormous
feet and unusual name (sometimes using the name Uma Karen instead of her birth name).[citation needed] When she
was 10 years old, a friend's mother suggested a nose job. As a child, she suffered bouts of body dysmorphic disorder,
which she discussed in an interview with Talk magazine in 2001.[5] She attended Amherst Public Schools. In the 8th
grade she discovered her love for acting. Talent scouts noticed her performance as Abigail in a production of The
Crucible[6] and offered her the chance to act professionally. Thurman attended Northfield Mount Hermon School, a
preparatory school in Massachusetts, before dropping out to pursue a career in acting.
Career
Early work (19871989)
Thurman began her career as a fashion model at age 15,[7] and signed with the agency Click Models. Her early
modeling credits included Glamour and the December 1985 and May 1986 covers of British Vogue.[8] She made her
movie debut in 1988, appearing in four films that year. Her first two were the high school comedy Johnny Be Good
and teen thriller Kiss Daddy Goodnight. She had a small role in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, playing the
goddess Venus alongside Oliver Reed's Vulcan; during her entrance she briefly appears nude, in an homage to
Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. The most acclaimed of these first four films was Oscar-winning drama Dangerous
Liaisons, in which Thurman's character of Cecile de Volanges is seduced by the manipulative Vicomte de Valmont
(John Malkovich). At the time, insecure about her appearance, she spent roughly a year in London, during which she
often wore loose, baggy clothing. Malkovich said of her "there is nothing twitchy teenager-ish about her, I havent
met anyone like her at that age. Her intelligence and poise stand out. But there's something else. She's more than a
little haunted."[9]
Career prominence (19901993)

In 1990, Thurman appeared with Fred Ward and Maria de Medeiros in sexually provocative drama Henry & June,
the first film to receive an NC-17 rating. Partly because many American newspapers refused to advertise films with
the new rating, it did not get wide release in the United States, but the film won her some good notices. The New
York Times wrote: "Thurman, as the Brooklyn-accented June, takes a larger-than-life character and makes her even
bigger, though the performance is often as curious as it is commanding".[10]
In 1993 she was for the first time the main star, in Gus Van Sant's 1993 adaptation of Tom Robbins' novel Even
Cowgirls Get the Blues. It was a critical and financial disappointment; Thurman was nominated for a Worst Actress
Razzie. The Washington Post described her acting as shallow, writing that, "Thurman's strangely passive
characterization doesn't go much deeper than drawling and flexing her prosthetic thumbs".[11] She also starred
opposite Robert De Niro in the drama Mad Dog and Glory, another box office disappointment. Later that year she
auditioned for Stanley Kubrick while he was casting for unmade film Wartime Lies. Her agent said she described
working with Kubrick as a "really bad experience."[12]

Continued Success (19941998)

After Mad Dog and Glory, Thurman auditioned for the Quentin Tarantino ensemble movie Pulp Fiction, which
grossed over $107 million on a budget of only $8 million.[13] The Washington Post wrote that Thurman was
"serenely unrecognizable in a black wig, [and] is marvelous as a zoned-out gangster's girlfriend."[14] Thurman was
nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar the following year. She became one of Tarantino's favorite
actresses to cast; he told Time magazine in 2003 that she was "up there with Garbo and Dietrich in goddess
territory."[15]
1996 would see Thurman in two moderately successful films, the first of which was Beautiful Girls, where she
played the female lead and love interest of Timothy Hutton and was supported with a high-profile cast (for that time)
of Mira Sorvino, Martha Plimpton, and Natalie Portman. The film was well received by the critics for the script and
acting, particularly that of Hutton and Portman. It performed moderately well at the box office. Thurman also starred
opposite Janeane Garofalo in the moderately successful 1996 romantic comedy The Truth About Cats & Dogs as a
ditzy blonde model. In 1997, she starred opposite her future husband Ethan Hawke in the science fiction film
Gattaca. Although Gattaca was not a success at the box office, it drew many positive reviews and became successful
on the home video market.[16] Some critics were not as impressed with Thurman, such as The Los Angeles Times,
which wrote that she was "as emotionally uninvolved as ever."[17]
Her next role was Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin, the fourth of the series. Her performance received mixed reviews,
and critics compared her to Mae West. The New York Times wrote, "like Mae West, she mixes true femininity with
the winking womanliness of a drag queen."[18] A similar comparison was made by the Houston Chronicle:
"Thurman, to arrive at a '40s femme fatale, sometimes seems to be doing Mae West by way of Jessica Rabbit."[19]
The next year brought The Avengers, another major financial and critical flop. CNN described her as "so distanced
you feel like youre watching her through the wrong end of a telescope."[20] She received Razzie Award nominations
for both films. She closed out 1998 with Les Misrables, a film version of Victor Hugo's novel of the same name,
directed by Bille August, in which she played Fantine. On his review of the film, Roger Ebert said that "Thurman's
performance is the best element of the movie."
Hiatus (19982002)
After the birth of her first baby in 1998, Thurman took a rest from
major roles to concentrate on motherhood. Her next roles were in
low-budget and television films, including Vatel, Tape, in which she
appeared with then husband Ethan Hawke and for which she was
nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting
Female, and Chelsea Walls, directed by Hawke.
She would win a Golden Globe award for her acting in HBO cable
movie Hysterical Blindness; she was also one of the executive
producers. Thurman played a New Jersey woman in the 1980s
Thurman at Cannes, 2000
searching for romance. The San Francisco Chronicle review said,
"Thurman so commits herself to the role, eyes blazing and body akimbo, that you start to believe that such a creature
could existan exquisite-looking woman so spastic and needy that she repulses regular Joes. Thurman has bent the
role to her will."[21]
In 2000, she narrated the John Moran opera Book of the Dead (2nd Avenue) at New York's Public Theater.

2003present
In 2003 Thurman co-starred in John Woo's Paycheck, which was only moderately successful with critics and at the
box office.
It would be Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill which relaunched her career. She played assassin Beatrix Kiddo, out for
revenge against her former lover. Tarantino wrote the part specifically for her. He cited Thurman as his muse while
writing the film, and gave her joint credit for the character, whom the two conceived on the set of Pulp Fiction from
the sole image of a bride covered in blood. Production was delayed for several months after Thurman became
pregnant, as Tarantino refused to recast the part.[22] The film took nine months to shoot, and was filmed in five
different countries. The role was also her most demanding, and she spent three months training in martial arts,
swordsmanship, and Japanese.[23] Originally designed to be one film, Kill Bill was ultimately released in two parts
and would become a cult classic[24] and scored highly with critics. Thurman was nominated for a Golden Globe for
both entries, plus three MTV Movie Awards for Best Female Performance and two for Best Fight. Rolling Stone
likened her to "an avenging angel out of a 1940s Hollywood melodrama".[25]
The inspirations for The Bride were several B-movie action heroines. Thurman's
main inspiration for the role was the title character of Coffy (played by Pam
Grier) and the character of Gloria Swenson from Gloria (played by Gena
Rowlands). She said that the two characters are "two of the only women I've ever
seen be truly women [while] holding a weapon".[26] Coffy was screened for
Thurman by Tarantino prior to beginning production on the film, to help her
model the character.
By 2005, Thurman was commanding a salary of $12.5 million per film. Her first
film of the year was Be Cool, the sequel to 1995's Get Shorty, which reunited her
with her Pulp Fiction castmate John Travolta. In the film, she played the widow
of a deceased music business executive. The film received poor reviews, and
came in below expectations at the box office. In 2005, she starred in Prime with
Meryl Streep, playing a woman in her late thirties romancing a man in his early
At the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival
twenties. Thurman's last film of the year was a remake of The Producers in
which she played Ulla, a Swedish stage actress hoping to win a part in a new Broadway musical. Originally, the
producers of the film planned to have another singer dub in Thurman's musical numbers, but she was eager to do her
own vocals.[27] She is credited for her songs in the credits. The film was considered a bomb at the box office, but
many praised Thurman's efforts, including A. O. Scott of The New York Times who said: "Uma Thurman as a
would-be actress is the one bit of genuine radiance in this aggressively and pointlessly shiny, noisy spectacle."[28]
With a successful film career, Thurman once again became a desired model. Cosmetics company Lancme selected
her as its spokeswoman. It also named several shades of lipstick after her, though they were sold only in Asia. In
2005, Thurman became a spokeswoman for the French fashion house Louis Vuitton. On February 7, 2006, she was
also named a knight of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France for outstanding achievement in the field of art and
literature.
In May 2006, Thurman bought the film rights to the Frank Schtzing novel The Swarm, which is in development and
due for release in 2015.[29] When the film remake The Women was in pre-production in 2006, Thurman was cast as
Crystal Allen, alongside Annette Bening, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, Lisa Kudrow and
Anne Hathaway, being directed by James L. Brooks, but the director was changed and Thurman was no longer part
of the cast.[citation needed] In July 2006, she starred opposite Luke Wilson in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Thurman
portrayed a super-heroine named "G-Girl" who is dumped by her boyfriend and then takes her revenge upon him.
She received a reported $14 million for the role, but the film flopped. Once again she was well-received, but the film
was not.
Uma Thurman
In February 2008, she starred opposite Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Accidental Husband, a romantic
comedy about a woman who finds herself married while engaged to another man. It seems like archetypal
Hollywood contrivance, but according to Thurman, a similar situation happened in New York.[30] Also in 2008, she
starred as Elsa in the British film My Zinc Bed, in which she plays a cocaine addict, starring opposite Paddy
Considine and Jonathan Pryce. In 2010, her movie Motherhood garnering just 88 on 11 tickets on its opening
weekend.[31] In the United States it earned $93,388 in three weeks of release.[32]
In 2011, Thurman was a member of the jury for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival. In December
2011, James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly reported Thurman had joined the cast of NBC's Smash as Rebecca
Duvall. Thurman appeared in five episodes of the drama series. Her performance as Duvall received mostly positive
reviews and she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
Personal life
Relationships
Thurman met English actor Gary Oldman on the set of State of Grace; they
married in 1990 and divorced two years later.[33]
On May 1, 1998, she married actor Ethan Hawke, whom she met on the set of
their 1997 film Gattaca. Hawke's novel Ash Wednesday is dedicated to
"Karuna", Thurman's middle name. She acknowledged that they had married
because she was pregnant seven months at their wedding.[34] The marriage
produced two children: daughter Maya Ray, born in 1998, and son Levon, born
in 2002. The couple separated in 2003, and the divorce was finalized in August
2005. When asked on The Oprah Winfrey Show whether the break-up involved
betrayal, she said, "There was some stuff like that at the end. We were having a
difficult time, and you know how the axe comes down and how people behave
In 2011 at Cannes
and how people express their unhappiness." In a 2004 Rolling Stone cover story,
Thurman and director Quentin Tarantino denied having had a romantic relationship, despite Tarantino once having
told a reporter, "I'm not saying that we havent, and I'm not saying that we have."
Thurman began dating London-based French financier Arpad Busson in 2007, and they announced their engagement
in June 2008. In late 2009, they called off their engagement, but reconciled soon after.[35] Thurman and Busson have
a daughter together, Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson (nickname Luna), born in 2012.
Activism and charity work

Thurman has been involved in various philanthropic and activist causes. She supports the United States Democratic
Party, and has given money to the campaigns of John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joseph R. Driscoll.[36] She supports
gun control laws, and in 2000, she participated in Marie Claires End Gun Violence Now campaign.[37] She is a
member of the board of Room to Grow, a charitable organization providing aid to families and children born into
poverty.[38] She serves on the board of the Tibet House.[39] In 2007, she hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in
Oslo, Norway with actor Kevin Spacey.[40]
In 2011, Thurman was also one of a few celebrities attached to USAID and Ad Council's FWD campaign, an
awareness initiative tied to that year's East Africa drought. She joined Geena Davis, Chanel Iman and Josh Hartnett
in TV and internet ads to "forward the facts" about the crisis.[41]
