Kill Bill Page #12

MIKI(JAPANESE)

You had it coming bastard!

Raising his samurai sword high, he Charges, Screaming A

Banzai Scream...

The Bride turns to face him.

Miki Charging and Screaming...

The Bride slowly raises the Hanzo Sword into Striking

Position.

Miki Charging and Screaming, almost on top of her.

The Bride, sword in position, waits for her opponent to

arrive.

Miki arrives at his destination, he Swings...

The Bride Swings...

The Hanzo Sword Slices Miki's inferior blade in half. Miki

looks down at the impotent weapon in his hand.

The Bride Thrusts her sword through Miki's abdomen, then

Lifts the little guy off the ground straight up in the air.

Miki screaming, Impaled on her blade like a fish at the end

of a spear. Held up in the air, restaurant light fixtures in

the B.G.

O-Ren and her crew watch stunned.

The Bride Drops the shishkabobbed Miki into the koi pond that

starts outside the restaurant and ends inside, with a huge

blue splash. Koi pond - Blue water - Orange and yellow fish -

Red blood - Dead man.

The BRIDE

looks up from the pond, across the length of the floor, into

the eyes of O-Ren Ishii.

She takes one step forward, hears the slightest noise, Twirls

the samurai sword in the air once, drops to one knee, and

thrusts the sword into the beige-colored carpet-covered

floor. The sword sticks in the floor half way...

The Sound of human death rises from underneath the floor...

OVERHEAD SHOT:

Looking down on The Bride at one end and O-Ren and her crew

at the other. A Red Circle appears where the blade is buried

in the floor...The red circle grows larger...and larger...and

larger...and larger still...

Leaving the sword stuck in the floor, handle sticking

straight up in the air, The Bride rises up from her one knee,

and straight and tall, staring down the queen of the Tokyo

underworld.

O-Ren

her eyes narrow with rage. She screams out another order;

O-REN(JAPANESE)

Tear the b*tch apart!

The six remaining Crazy 88 unsheath their swords at the same

time with a GREAT SOUND EFFECT.

They circle the Bride.

The BRIDE

Inside the circle of Combatants who surrounded her. She Whips

the sword out of the floor and raises her blade diagonally in

front of her. Her eyes are reflected in the shiny steel.

Holding her sword in the diagonal position, The Bride can see

reflected in the shiny blade, whoever stands behind her.

The six Crazy 88 Attack...

The BRIDE

does a Zatoichi-like SWISH-SLASH-SWISH with her steel blade.

Four boys die an immediate samurai blade-inflicted death,

SCREAMING GRUNT, TWITCHING BODY, FROZEN IN THE STANCE IT WAS

SLASHED IN, RED BLOOD SQUIRTING FROM WOUNDS, THEN A CRASHING

COLLAPSE TO THE FLOOR.

The last two put up more of a fight...but then one of them is

SLASHED and FALLS and the last one is SLASHED AND CRASHES

THROUGH the restaurant's big picture window.

EX CU The EYES

of The Bride, pointed down at the bodies by her feet,

...BEAT

...they Look back up at O-Ren.

O-REN

standing in between Go Go and Mr. Barrel. Her eyes narrow.

The BRIDE

swipes the air with her sword, the blood of the dead

attackers flies off.

GO GO and MR. BARREL

unsheath their swords.

WHEN...

We hear a LOUD SOUND of many ENGINES behind the Bride. Then

behind her, through the broken pictures window we see

seventeen motorcycles pull up to the parking lot. All the

riders wear black suits with kato masks, and all carry

samurai swords.

The BRIDE

looks from the reinforcements to O-Ren.

O-REN

smiles.

O-REN(ENGLISH)

(to the Bride)

You didn't think it was going to be

that easy, did you?

THE BRIDE(ENGLISH)

(to O-Ren)

You know, for a second there, yeah

I did.

O-Ren smiles...

O-REN(ENGLISH)

Silly rabbit...

Both O-Ren and the Bride finish the phrase together,...

O-REN/THE BRIDE

...Trix Are for kids.

This is something they used to say back when they fought

alongside of each other as "Vipers."

The seventeen Crazy 88 reinforcements come running into the

restaurant and with drawn swords surround The Bride.

As a HEAVY METAL COMBAT BEAT begins to PULSATE ON THE

SOUNDTRACK, The Boys and The Bride have a Spaghetti Western

Stand-off.

We do a 360 INSIDE the CIRCLE of The Crazy 88, who surround

the yellow-haired warrior. Not all have Samurai swords; one

JUGGLES TWO HATCHETS, another TWIRLS A THREE-STAFF TRIPLE

IRON over his head.

As the Heavy Metal music builds...We Cut to various Shots of

The Two Opposing Forces Preparing to Strike....Hands on Sword

Handles...Feet finding Combat Stance...etc...

....Until Heavy Metal reaches its Breaking Point...

...At that point, the Metal EXPLODES OVER THE SOUNDTRACK...IN

TIME WITH The BRIDE EXPLODING INTO A VIOLENT KILLING MACHINE

ON SCREEN.

As she matches skill with the army of black-suited boys, arms

flailing, silver blade Clashing and Slashing, long blonde

hair whipping like a whirling dervish....

...She's a Goddess of War Venus.

Not only is the FIGHT CUT TO THE HEAVY METAL MUSIC, but The

Bride seems to be somewhat dancing to it as she fights.

This explosion of furious violence is punctuated

CINEMATICALLY BY THE COLOR IN THE FILM POPPING OFF, and the

fight being filmed in HIGH CONTRAST BLACK AND WHITE, turning

the squirting, spewing geysers of BLOOD FROM CRIMSON RED TO

OIL BLACK.

Many members of The Crazy 88 are Sliced, Slashed, and

liberated from the limbs they were born with at The Bride's

blade.

Some SPECIFIC MOMENTS

While Clashing swords, The Bride whips the silver Boomerang

out of its holster, and Throws it...

....It Twirls Through the Air...

...Embedding itself longways in one of the boy's faces.

The Bride does a Mid-Air Somersault over the head of an

Attacker, landing solid on her feet behind him...Slash, he's

Out.

The Bride is knocked to the floor, her Attacker stands over

her to Spear the young blonde, Her Legs Spring Up In The Air,

Ankles Lock Around The Boy's Neck.

She throws him down to the ground. With his neck still in the

vise-like grip of her ankles, She removes The SOG Knife from

its sheath and Plunges it Deep Into The Boy's Chest.

While still on the ground, an Attacker Charges at her.

Yanking the Boomerang out of the Dead Boy's Face, She Sends

It Flying in the Charging Man's path...

...Boomerang Twirling Through the Air Close to the Ground...

...Chopping Off the Charging Attacker's Foot in Mid Step, he

falls flat.

The Bride jumps up onto an attacker's shoulders. She locks

her legs around him so he's helpless at shaking her off.

...she swings down with her sword, and cuts the man's hands

off.

So while the helpless man with no hands screams, the now nine

foot tall Bride fights with the others.

When she's through she brings the blade across the man she's

perched on's throat. He falls to his knees, bringing the

Bride back to the floor like an alevator.

As soon as her soles touch ground, she's off his shoulders,

somersaulting on the floor, bringing her blade up between an

attacker's legs into his groin.

He lets out a scream, as she yanks her blade free.
