What Makes Bill One Of The Most Terrifying Villains In Film History

Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2 are probably at the top of Quinten Tarantino's filmography. The two movies staring Uma Thurman and David Carradine as Bill will forever be two of his crowning achievements. But other than The Bride's spectacular performance, one thing that really makes this movie great is the villain Bill. Though we don't see much of him in Vol 1, his presence is felt throughout the entirety of Kill Bill.

I love the fact that Pai Mei taught Beatrix that heart exploding technique he never taught anyone and Hattori Hanzo a legendary Swordmaker breaks his oath to help Beatrix, these are men of honour who will NEVER break their promises but do so for Beatrix x She must have something special in her soul, for them to do such a thing

You know it’s funny. No one never mentions that after all the kill Bill videos this is the most hidden gem comments because they all mention how they will never break their promises. Are there teachings of something that is forbidden but yet they do every time I really wonder why they did it though. Other than the cliché, they’re doing this for the main character of the movie, but like I wonder if Quentin Tarantino had any hidden meaning behind it.

[@korpsmaninfantry7238]

Hanzo stopped making blades because of the atrocities Bill committed with his work. Pai Mei found Beatrix to be his ideal student, quick on the uptake, sharp as a knife and after a bit of breaking, receptive to instruction.

[@valvihk3649]

It showed that Beatrix formed high respect and care for Pai Mei. Pai Mei taught Beatrix humbleness when he beat her. She became his successor, he passed on his heart exploding technique to her. Hattori Hanzo on the other hand was a teacher of Bill's and was ashamed of it, he wanted Bill dead so countless of people would live. Bill was already a fighter and a murderer when he came to Pai Mei. Pai Mei chose one successor.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

Pai Mei definitely saw something in Beatrix after he smiled and nodded when she was punching the board

I really love the fact that in the iconic superman speech, he doesn't really understand superman.

He was raised on earth, he's a normal dude besides the powers. He's not a hero out of obligation or a vow like spider-man or batman, he's a hero because he can be. He has the powers to save lives, and so he does. He chooses to be superman.

Talk about hitting the nai on the head. There was a short lived crime show with rufus sewell (I can't remember what it was called) but one episode had the killler be a child psychopath who was poisoning people with foxglove, at the end he is talking about how the character of Superman was based on Nietzche's idea of the Uper-mech "up up and away", and I though "No, you've gotten it ass backwards, superman's real power isn't flying or invulnerability, its that he CHOOSES, every day, to use those things to serve other people."

And in the third month of mourning you, I tracked you down. Now, I wasn't trying to track you down. I was trying to track down the fucking assholes who I thought killed you. So, I find you. And what do I find? Not only are you not dead, you're getting married, to some fucking jerk, and you're pregnant. I... overreacted. *dramatic pause* Bride: You Overreacted!? Bill : I'm a killer.

[@lc6428]

What makes Bill the greatest villain of all time, to me, is he is one of the most realistic. His ability to somewhat justify all of his abuses (in his own eyes), and still somehow maintain his "love" is something I experienced that I haven't seen portrayed so accurately before.

[@matthewryan8463]

A thought I had when you mentioned that "so many of us have had Bills in our lives", combined with mentioning the anti-climax that his death is - in so many cases, while that "Bill" in each person's life may seem this unstoppable force that we're unlikely to prevail against, when you finally reach the end of that road, it's not really some grand final epic struggle to finish everything off - it IS anti-climactic, to the point where you later look back and go "wow, that's really all it took?" - the true struggle is getting to that final point.

[@zaniq23]

Kill Bill Vol. 2 had such a satisfying ending that I feel like it doesn't need a follow-up. I guess you could do a revenge story with the little girl going after the Bride for killing her mom but I don't feel like it needs to be done.

[@raylast3873]

I think people also underestimate Beatrix as a hero because revenge stories tend to be seen as a personal thing. I.e., „the hero wants revenge for him or herself“ and this usually leads to some level of moral ambiguity. But actually Bill‘s crime is so horrifically monstrous that there is really no other possible response to it. Once you see the entire churchfull of completely innocent people that got murdered for literally no reason, just because they happened to be acquainted with the Bride in her new life, hunting down and killing the people that did it actually becomes a pretty modest proposal. You gotta do it. There‘s no way you can let those people get away with it. Plus there‘s the fact that Beatrix inadvertently made those people into targets, which only raises the moral stakes. It‘s actually only the presence of the child that turns the whole conflict back into a personal matter: as soon as B.B. comes into the story, the conflict becomes about the Bride rescuing her daughter and by extension, saving herself as well. The survival of her daughter means Beatrix can continue the redemption arc she had been on before the wedding-massacre. Now this is actually about her instead of just getting justice for all her dead friends, and notably it‘s about her being able to become better, rather than just killing more bad guys. Honestly, I‘m pretty glad there was never a Vol. 3. any additional carnage would only ruin the whole redemption story.

[@mercurysmoon1896]

I know he loved her, and she loved him despite everything. No doubt. That's what makes the end so heartbreaking. You might love someone, but that doesn't mean you're going to be able to forgive them.

I disagree. Bill did not love Beatrix and I have my doubts about whether he loved his daughter. It is very likely that he can not love.

Personally, I think the Kill Bill series in general is a little bit underrated in the scope of Tarantino's work. People appreciate it, sure, but it's not held up in the same regard as Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.

5:55 I keep saying this when people criticize the speech. Bill is giving his impression of Superman, not a dissertation on comic lore. This is his reading of it based on his own outlook on life and the types of things he values. If he were face to face with Superman he would likely still assume that Superman was lying if he was told any differently by the hero himself. It's also the reason he raises BB in the manner he does and throws the very candid nature of how he discusses violent topics with her in Beatrix's face.

Bill is a bog standard narcissist, albeit a very charismatic one. He just as much a cult leader as he is a badass assassin. He doesn't care what anyone else feels, good or bad, he just wants control. He still my personal favorite Tarantino villain. Gotta respect his sense of showmanship. Hans Landa on the other hand is a psychological sadist. Just when you think you're safe, that's when he pulls the rug out from under you. He lives to see the color fade from your face, the overwhelming dread rob you of the light in your eyes. He wants you to want him to kill you. Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men, is equally as chilling.

[@Barot8]

In actuality the anti-climax is due to Uma being injured in the reckless car crash that Tarantino insisted she do rather than a stunt woman. She had to take several months to recover from the injury to her neck and knees. She actually couldn't do any fighting scenes because of the injury. Tarantino had to rewrite the ending because of her injuries. She has permanent damage. Do your research.

But you see he doesn't actually care for her. When you care about someone, you do not think of your every move in terms of what good is it to you. When you care aboit someone, you think about what is good for them and find joy in doing things that make them happy. Bill can't love anyone bc he doesn't understand humbleness, selflessness, compassion and love. That is why he knows all there is about Superman, and still has no clue about his true nature. He just doesn't understands it and what he doesn't understand he will try to bend to his will or destroy it. There is no middle way. That's why Beatrix Kiddo is his opposite. She realised she was pregnant and suddenly was awestruck at the prospect of bringing their child into his world. She suddenly realised she must avoid that at any cist. And her crying in the bathroom of a motel whily BB watches "innocent" cartoons instead of violence infused action movies, is her realisation that even though Bill is dead and she is free from him, nothing she does will ever be able to erase the permanent evil he seeded into BB and herself. That is the fight noone wants to make a movie about, bc there is no happy ending or epic final boss to defeat. It is a tortureous fight they both will have to endure for as long as they live. That is the true villany of Bill and tragedy of Beatrix Kiddo.

I think a reason why Kill Bill Vol 3 would be a clever film for Tarantino to make is because of his 10 movie rule. Since he counts KB vol 1 and vol 2 as one movie, a vol 3, even after he makes his next upcoming ‘the critic’ film would still abide by that rule.

Kill Bill 3 should be announced. Great story!

I've always liked David Carradine. I used to watch Kung Fu back in the 70s and the updated show in the 90s. He played the humble but loveable Caine. But this Kill Bill movie may be his best acting ever, to me. But how could there be a part 3 without Carradine?

Great video. Two of my favorite films of all time. My only point of contention is the idea that a Kill Bill Vol 3 is something that Tarantino would even begin to consider. There will never be a Vol 3 because the story is told. Kill Bill? Bill's dead, baby. He's dead and he's never coming back. Now, I'm not saying that The Bride can't return in another feature and settings/plotlines/characters can't come back as well. My point is simply that Kill Bill was a complete story told in TWO volumes, and this video isn't the first time I've heard the question about a third volume being made being put forward. The concept fundamentally doesn't make sense. Okay, I'm done. I'll see myself out. Have a great day, everyone. Don't forget to tip the wait staff.

Is it just me or is the channel uploading much more frequently now?

[@josephhwang1428]

Yeah. Feels like it's almost daily. I thought I was the only one who noticed

[@jamesd4695]

Bill was wrong on his critique of Superman. Superman is who he is because he is Clark first and foremost.

[@moondawwg]

They're the same person, he just puts some silly glasses on and everyone is like 😮

I would love a movie about Bill

[@AsJimSeesIt-ox1sk]

What makes a great villain is the obvious… his/her prowess for harm. What makes him/her one that is remembered and relatable is the one that shows human traits that are good. Like Bill parenting their child.

I just love a woman who doesn't quit and gets her vengeance! A blu ray keeper!

[@LuisSierra42]

Kill Bill is Tarantino's best film

[@luigi_border]

This is my favorite Film. Ever. then, The Shinning…

[@nelisezpasce]

Someday we'll be able to watch The Whole Bloody Affair

[@jessestoehr9756]

I hope we get an animated 3rd volume(Cause it'd be easier production wise) along side a vega brothers series set in Amsterdam. You could expand that universe into so many directions until we hate it like marvel.

[@rowan5335]

The idea for the movie was Uma Thurman's, and she took it to Tarantino and said can we make this and thankfully he said yes

[@mermaidprettymuch]

Vol 3 could be Nikki coming to kill Beatrix for revenge after watching her kill her mom. It’s already set up with Beatrix saying “I’ll be waiting”

[@delix787]

What happend to the original voice for this channel?

[@KNitsua_]

I would love to see Kill Bride where Nikki comes to avenge her mother…!
