He deeply regretted it: revisiting the time when Quentin Tarantino assured Uma Thurman that she could safely perform a car stunt in Kill Bill: Volume 2, a stunt that went awry and severely injured the actress…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Uma Thurman’s iconic role as The Bride in the Kill Bill series not only left a mark on cinema and pop culture but also cost her dearly, particularly during the filming of Kill Bill: Volume 2. It was during this shoot that she was involved in a serious car crash while performing a stunt that she should not have done herself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the end of filming the sequel, the actress was required to drive a convertible at high speed on a sandy road. Initially, she refused. However, director Quentin Tarantino was persistent, eventually convincing her that she would be safe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cQuentin came to my trailer and, like all directors, he didn\u2019t like being told no. He was furious because it would cause a significant delay if I refused, but I was scared<\/i>,\u201d she shared in a 2018 interview with The New York Times. \u201cHe told me, \u2018I promise the car is fine. It\u2019s just a straight line.\u2019<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reluctantly, she agreed to take the stuntwoman’s place and drive the vehicle. The outcome was disastrous: she lost control of the car, which collided with a palm tree, resulting in a damaged neck and knees and a concussion. Barely escaping the worst, she was pulled from the wreck by crew members, and understandably, she harbored significant resentment towards the director.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt this burning pain and thought, \u2018Oh my God, I might never walk again\u2019<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shockingly, the footage of the accident is available on YouTube, as you can see below. Beware, it\u2019s quite startling\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Strained Relations between the Actress and the Director<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Although she eventually recovered from her injuries, her relationship with Quentin Tarantino deteriorated: \u201cWhen I returned from the hospital with a neck brace, damaged knees, a huge bump on my head, and a concussion, I wanted to see the car; I was very angry<\/i>,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe had a huge argument, and I accused him of trying to kill me. He was very upset about that, and I guess that\u2019s understandable because he didn\u2019t think he was trying to kill me.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2018, Quentin Tarantino also spoke about the incident in an interview with Deadline, admitting his fault: \u201cI\u2019m guilty of putting her in that car, but not in the way people say. Making her do that stunt is the biggest regret of my life.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both volumes of Kill Bill are available on VOD.<\/b><\/p>\n
