![]() "I should've been the motherfuckin' Black Mamba!".When the front door is about to open and Copperhead's daughter comes back in, she very calmly dismisses the mess the fight has made, while she and the Bride very casually hide their knives behind their backs. The No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that goes from Copperhead's living room to the kitchen and back again.The Bride then punches Vernita in the face. First, a Narm Charm-tastic sequence of zooming in on each face as the Ironside (1967) theme plays. I so rarely have a chance to use it in a sentence." You know, I've always liked that word, 'gargantuan'. "The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan."Now, you should pay attention, because this concerns you.".Black mamba, this is Budd." (And then she goes on to read verbatim the encyclopedia entry she copied like nothing has changed.) Budd, meet my good friend, the black mamba. Elle's speech to Budd, whom she has just poisoned with a black mamba snake, has some choice lines.It's definitely Black Comedy, but Elle looking completely nonplussed and nonchalantly swirling her drink as the black mamba hidden in Budd's suitcase bites him repeatedly, causing him to thrash madly in response to the poison, is weirdly funny.And the kid's name in the credits? "Spanked Boy.".Also, blink and you'll miss it, but extra points to Uma Thurman for the hilarious You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! look on her face when the lights are turned on.The first time, she cuts off his mask, and after seeing that he is a whimpering teenager, tosses him into a group of mooks.

Go home to your mother! ![]() This also double counts as a Moment of Awesome. The Bride bends him over her knee, spanks him with the flat of her blade while chastising him with Punctuated Pounding, and sends him running away with his tail between his legs.

The Bride is about to kill the last Crazy 88 standing when the lights turn on and she sees it's a terrified teenage boy.During the fight between Beatrix and the Crazy 88s, one of the Mooks lets out a Wilhelm scream.The Bride stomps her way out of the cemetery in the middle of the night after being Buried Alive, covered in dirt, wanders to a Greasy Spoon diner across the road, and then calmly sits down at the counter and asks for a glass of water."From here, you can get an excellent view of my foot.".Usually, you expect someone in Pai Mei's clothes to sound like a poet, not like your beer-drinking uncle showing off. In general, his style of Cantonese doesn't match the clothes that he wears and the Wuxia genre he represents.In a hilarious subversion of common Old Master tropes (at peace with the world, relaxed, grandfatherly), Pai Mei's very first words to the Bride are: "Your Mandarin is lousy. Just about everything Pai Mei says and does in spite of his cruel training.Tanaka's ten-foot fountain of blood looks like something right out of Monty Python, and this being Tarantino, that's definitely the point.Have you seen this film?
