The legend of pai mei Kill bill high quality

i need one of these flutes next time my boss needs an explanation why i didnt get my work done over the weekend...

I love it that we re just ok with Pai Mei being at least 1000 years old.

I love how kiddo appears so vulnerable, eager, and naive here prior to her training, you can also tell how deeply infatuated she is with bill.

*monk doesn’t return the nod*
Pai Mei: “and I took that personally”

[Euroviking]

I love how you can tell just on Uma Thurman's face how long before the main story this takes place. She's not only head over heels in love with Bill, but also visibly younger, cockier and more naive.

Pai Mei sounds like a really cool en relaxing guy to hang out with, with no ego problems at all

[janetairlines]

if i passed pai mei walking down the road, and, in a practically unfathomable display of generousity he were to nod at me, i would nod the fuck back!

I love, that Tarantino does not show the story but rather lets David Carradine narrate it in its entirety. It could have made for an awesome action scene, but with the vivid narration, everyone has an own story of Pai Mei in his head, as it is with legends.

[TheShaheen]

I love her smile in this scene. Its filled with love to Bill.

"The motives of the monk remain unknown. What is known are the

I'd sit by a fire and listen to David Carradine tell stories forever.

The way he interacts with Beatrix is just so calm and sweet. Really charming and yes I know their relationship is also toxic. But things in the beginning was quite nice like this scene.

Fun Fact, the actor who portrayed Pai Mei in Kill Bill played the hero who killed the very same legendary Pai Mei (who in turn is based on the chinese folklore hero Bak Mei) in the 1977 film Fists of the White Lotus, referenced by name in Bill's story.

In the latter, the twin brother of the original Pai Mei mastered the "Hundred Pace Palm" technique, to which the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart was inspired by

Tarantino really knows his Kung Fu flicks

[ScottAlvin]

Imagine if Bill went:

Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?

[ajt]

The blow that he did after he says, “the nod was not returned”. Brilliant 👌🏽

[Asher_Tye]

The lesson: Good manners are a social must.

[JacobRivera]

I love how the legend of Pai Mei foreshadows the future, The five finger palm technique that was used on Bill, Ellie's defiant eye being plucked out, and I also love how it references the past as well, the massacre of the monks, the massacre of El Paso, the miscommunication between the Monk and Pai Mei, the miscommunication between Beatrix and Bill. All tied nicely togehter.

[gamezob]

If you flash him, even for an instant, a defiant eye, he'll pluck it out

[chelseafc]

“And that will be the story of you”

Of the mountainous catalogue of great Tarantino lines, that simple one may be my favorite.

[bradebronson]

This story is a homage to the original "Fist of the White Lotus" movie where the Pai Mei in Kill Bill plays the Shaolin Monk in that movie who kills Pai Mei. There's also a scene where Pai Meis men massacre Shaolin Monks and they even have the exploding heart technique too. Dope classics both movies.
