Quentin Tarantino reveals that he originally planned to play the role of Pai Mei in Kill Bill: Volume 2. However, due to the demanding nature of directing the film, he ultimately decided to give the role to Gordon Liu. Tarantino also made a brief, uncredited cameo appearance as one of the Crazy 88 in the first Kill Bill film.
Quentin Tarantino is known for playing small roles in his movies or finding a way to make himself part of the story, and he almost did so with a key Kill Bill character – and, thankfully, he changed his mind. Since his first movie – Reservoir Dogs – in 1992, Quentin Tarantino hasn’t been afraid of giving himself a role in his movies, no matter how big or small.
Quentin Tarantino Planned To Play Pai Mei In Kill Bill Pai Mei Was Played By Gordon Liu Kill Bill 2 relies on flashbacks from the very beginning to show more of The Bride’s past, her relationship with Bill, her training, and what led to her murder attempt and current mission.
Posts Pai Mei is a key character in The Bride’s past, as he’s the one who helped her become the “deadliest woman in the world” by training her and bringing out the best in her. Although he tormented and ridiculed her at first, The Bride earns his respect, so much so that he teaches her the legendary Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.
Luckily, Tarantino still had Gordon Liu around, so he gave him the role of The Bride’s mentor. Tarantino playing a character like Pai Mei would have been controversial given the character is Chinese, and it would have been disrespectful if he had done it. A controversy like this would have negatively impacted Kill Bill despite its quality, but Tarantino was smart enough to drop the idea.
