Creating Kill Bill

Uma played a pivotal role in creating the films.

During their time on 1994’s ‘Pulp Fiction’, Uma and director Quentin Tarantino came together to conceive of a martial arts movie, and eventually pieced together the concepts, plot and leading character - The Bride.

Uma said: "He’s telling me about genre cinema with all the great power and enthusiasm and detail that his cinephile mind can produce which is pretty extraordinary and I started telling him about this character I wanted to play and the name I wanted to call the character.”

The pair even began to think up particular scenes that would ultimately be translated faithfully onto the screen.

She said: "Quentin, what if the first time we see the bride she’s beaten up, blood all over her face but she’s wearing a bridal gown?’, That was where The Bride was born."
