Kill Bill: 12 Killer Behind-The-Scenes Facts About The Quentin Tarantino Movie

Quentin Tarantino Originally Planned to Play Martial Arts Trainer Pai Mei

It’s not secret that Quentin Tarantino likes to put himself in his movies. While his acting talents aren’t as celebrated as his writing or directing skills, his performances in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Death Proof, and Django Unchained are… memorable, to say the least. Sure enough, Tarantino was also planning to play a role in Kill Bill, and a pivotal one too. In an interview with IGN, Tarantino said he was once set to play Pai Mei, The Bride’s martial arts instructor. But given how intensive it was to direct this eventually two-part movie, it was taking “everything” he had to helm the movie, to the point where he was no longer eager to play a part. Since this project was bigger than anything he’d done before, he had less energy to act as well as direct.
