Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, after asking the director herself.According to Tarantino, the 1992 action film Supercop, starring Yeoh and Jackie Chan, was a source of inspiration for Uma Thurman during filming on the 2003 martial arts film.The director also encouraged Yeoh to come out of retirement after she suffered an on-set injury filming 1996’s The Stunt Woman. “I must say, Quentin, he’s persistent,” Yeoh told Town & Country. “He is who he is today because he’s full of passion and love, so he wore me down.“Suddenly we became animated.
So then I thought, maybe I’m not ready to give up on this.”Considering his admiration for her, Yeoh revealed that she asked the director why she wasn’t cast in Kill Bill. “I asked Quentin the same question,” Yeoh said.“He’s very smart.
He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your ass?’”Kill Bill stars Thurman as Beatrix ‘the Bride’ Kiddo, who swears revenge on a team of assassins after they try to kill her at her wedding.
