Michelle Yeoh reveals why Quentin Tarantino didn’t cast her in 'Kill Bill'

Quentin Tarantino and Michelle Yeoh have a friendship that goes back decades. Tarantino has been outspoken in the past about his support for Yeoh and even credited her performance in the 1992 "Police Story 3" as being an influence in Uma Thurman’s character The Bride in "Kill Bill." Since Yeoh knew she was an inspiration for the film, she confronted Tarantino on why she was not cast in the 2003 classic.

He said, 'Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your a--?'" Tarantino inspired Yeoh to continue her acting career after she injured herself on the set of "The Stunt Woman" in 1996. "I thought I broke my back.

I thought I was paralyzed," she said, noting that Tarantino was in Hong Kong at the time and paid her a visit in the hospital.
