The way our entire theater ERUPTED at that last line in 2003, and we had to wait 6 months for part II...
Fun Fact: From the moment O-Ren says "You may not last 5 minutes" until her death, 4 minutes and 59 seconds pass.
I just wanna point out that O-Ren's apology to The Bride is layered. She underestimated her based on her race and heritage, which is the exact thing she's the most insecure about, and based on the looks on both of their faces, we can assume The Bride likely got underestimated due to that her whole career and O-Ren probably knew that, and vice versa. It very well could've been a struggle they once upon a time bonded over.
This movie marked the start of the collaboration between Quentin Tarantino and the toughest stuntwoman in the Business... Zoe Bell.
Uma had gotten pregnant when they started filming for this. They filmed what they could before she started to show, then halted production, and then she had to train like hell after birth. She must be super human, because damn girl, She is amazingly fit in this film.
7:07 Kobe literally got his nickname and logo from this movie. Pretty cool to see my favorite hooper take inspiration from my favorite director haha.
i love that shes a sneaky snake in the hospital when she first wakes up. the black mamba reborn.
Fun fact, when they were discussing how to do the shot where she runs up the handrail of the stairs while fighting the crazy 88, the stunt double just did it in front of them. Tarantino's response was"that was amazing. Don't you ever do that again." For the actual shot she had safety wires on
Guys, from 1:00:30 to 1:02:01 is comedy gold. Aaron just lets Tara cook....the wrong meal. She theorizes that The Bride might have to fight her daughter in Vol.2. Aaron (knowing Tara doesn't realize the daughter is only 4 yrs old) sits back and lets her put her whole foot in her mouth, then reveals it. LOL!
