Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
What Could Have Been: Tarantino originally intended it to be one long movie, with an intermission.
In the original script, Gogo was a pair of Creepy Twins: The silent one at O-Ren's side and the Axe Crazy one at the bar. After the quiet one (Gogo) is killed, the crazy one (Yuki) stalks The Bride all the way to Pasadena (that's her in the ice cream truck in Vol. 1). Yuki takes some ultra-steroids that Bill's cooked up and goes after The Bride with guns and bombs and blows up the Pussy Wagon in the process, but dies of an overdose before killing her. The Bride is so shaken that she calls Hanzo for reassurance and then calls a certain Nurse Bonnie to fix her up. Bonnie is hysterical and claims she "got out of that a long time ago," but like Hanzo is ultimately not immune to The Bride's charms. This is still referenced in the final cut: when the Bride meets Esteban in a convertible, he says that Bill said she would be driving a truck. She simply replies that her "Pussy Wagon died on her." There's also the Narm-ish variation of The Bride confronting Bill in a wedding dress for their final showdown.
Warren Beatty was who Tarantino had envisioned as Bill. Michael Madsen was originally going to play Johnny Mo.
In one version of the script for Volume II, Pai Mei's lips would be speaking Cantonese while his voice (dubbed by Tarantino) would be in English, imitating a bad dub job.
