Kill Bill/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Action Mom]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted. She gets the ever-living shit kicked out of her.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Honor Before Reason]]

* [[Hot Mom]]

* [[Made of Iron]]

* [[Mama Bear]]

* [[Noble Demon]]

* [[Left for Dead]] - By Bill and his crew. To be fair, Bill ''did'' put a bullet in her brainpan after the others had gotten through kicking the shit out of her, which would kill most people.

* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: Really hates the idea of having underage kids exposed to violence. First, shes' very unhappy when {{spoiler|Vernita's five-years-old daughter Nikki witnesses her killing of her mom}}, later attempts to talk the teenaged Gogo from fighting her, then spares the youngest of the Crazy 88 and ''spanks him'' for "fucking around with the [[Yakuza]]" before sending him back home, and finally {{spoiler|would rather have a momentary truce with Bill rather than killing him in front of their daughter B.B.}}

----

=== Bill AKA Snakecharmer ===

{{quote|'''Played By:''' David Carradine|''"...there are consequences to breaking the heart of a murdering bastard."''}}

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In his words, he "overreacted".

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Would never kill someone in their sleep for this reason.

* [[Genre Savvy]]

* [[Honor Before Reason]]

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: He says that when he found the Bride, he had been "trying to track down the fucking assholes (he) thought killed (her)".

* [[Villainous Valour]]

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]

* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Happens to her twice, once at the hands of Pai Mei, the other at the hands of the Bride herself.}}

* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Again, not a real medical professional. Do not contact her for medical advice.

* [[Lady Macbeth]]: If she's in a relationship with Bill while the events of the movies take place.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: [[Woman in White|Her sequence at the hospital.]] Bonus point for having also blonde hair and pale complexion.

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: To be fair, you’d probably be less than stoic if you {{spoiler|had your only remaining eye ripped out.}}

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: To the point that {{spoiler|she kills Budd for giving The Bride an unworthy death in her opinion.}}

----

=== Budd AKA Sidewinder ===

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: His actions {{spoiler|''after'' the rock-salt buckshot might be interpreted as this (with traces of [[The Atoner]]). He was well aware of what kind of training the Bride had had with Pai Mei, so he was giving her the chance to claw her way back out of her grave if she had the will to do so.}}

The head of the Yakuza in Japan, who became an assassin after killing the Yakuza boss who murdered her parents.

 

* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Father was a Chinese-American soldier stationed in Japan. Mother was Japanese. This is largely the result of Lucy Liu, O-Ren's actor, being Taiwanese-American.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: {{spoiler|In her revenge. Having learned that her parents's murderer was not just a [[Yakuza]] but a [[Lolicon]], O-Ren used herself as a [[Honey Trap]] to catch him of-guard ... and when Matsumoto was drunk and almost naked, she stabbed him to death.}}

* [[Evil Genius]]

* [[Expy]]: O-Ren's character

* [[Lady of War]]: She's the page image for a reason.

** [[Little Miss Badass]]: {{spoiler|Avenged her parents' bloody murder when she was barely 11 years old.}}

** {{spoiler|At the end of her battle with the Bride, she loses the ''top'' of her head, since the Bride scalps her.}}

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Over her syndicate; she encourages her lackeys to question her if they feel that a plan of action is unwise. In her own words, "no subject will ever be taboo." Unless it involves her heritage.

* [[Woman in White]]

 

* [[Action Mom]] ''and'' [[Hot Mom]]

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Dark Chick]]

* [[Hufflepuff House]]/[[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Gets a lot less development than the other Vipers.

* [[Knife Nut]]: The Bride even ditches her [[Cool Sword]] to engage her in a knife fight. {{spoiler|Vernita tries to kill her with a gun hidden in a cereal box and fails. Shoulda stuck with her knives.}}

* [[Retired Badass]]

* [[Sassy Black Woman]]

 

* [[Amoral Attorney]]: She's the lawyer of the boss of all Yakuza bosses.

* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Half-Japanese, half-French.

* [[Dark Is Evil]]

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: When she's watching over {{spoiler|the El Paso murders}}, Sofie has her hair in a long ponytail. In the present, she wears her hair up in a bun. {{spoiler|At the end, after being mutilated, she wears her hair down while talking to Bill.}}

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|The Bride cuts off both of her arms, the right one as a means of making a point to O-Ren, and the other one during her interrogation}}.

** It should be noticed that {{spoiler|this is left somewhat ambiguous in the American version, as we don't see the Bride cutting off her other arm.}}

** [[Woman in White]]: Wore a white dress during {{spoiler|the El Paso murders}}

----

* [[Last Second Chance]]

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: The youngest fighter in the entire series and one of the craziest.

----

=== Johnny Mo ===

 

The head of O-Ren's personal army, the Crazy 88.

* [[Cool Mask]]

* [[The Dragon]]: To O-Ren

* [[Meaningful Name]]: While there are only about three dozen [[Mook|Mooks]] in the fight scene, the number was chosen for its significance to the Japanese.

'''Bill''': I dunno, I guess they thought it sounded cool. }}

 

----

=== Nikia "Nikki" Bell ===

 

Vernita/Jeanie's daughter, who is about B.B.'s age.

=== Pai Mei ===

{{quote|'''Played By:''' Gordon Liu|''"The exquisite art of the samurai sword? Don't make me laugh! Your so-called exquisite art is only fit for Japanese fatheads!"''}}

* [[Old Master]]: He's more of a cruel and evil master than the kindly Mr. Miyagi type and according to the film's mythology was responsible for the destruction of the Shaolin Temple because [[Disproportionate Retribution|a Shaolin monk that he passed on the road didn't return the slight nod that he gave him]]. He's been known to snatch out the eyes of those who look on him with defiance and snap the backs and necks of those who give him sass like they were twigs. {{spoiler|This eventually gets him killed when he snatches out Elle Driver's right eye for calling him a "miserable old fool," and she retaliates by poisoning his fish heads}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog]]: After knocking her bowl of rice to the ground ([[It Makes Sense in Context|long story]]), he gives the Bride his own bowl. There's also the fact that he taught her [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique]] and no one else.}}

* [[You Fight Like a Cow]]: Often insults the bride while she is sparring with him.
