An assassin telling a story with a flute, he must have really loved her, but not bad enough to understand her wish to have a child free from an assassin’s life.

I always found there to be such depth behind her reason not to tell Bill that she learned the five Point Palm technique. If she ever admitted it to Bill, wouldn't this mean that she is a fighter on the level of Pei mei, wouldn't this had changed his mind about trying to kill her knowing she was such an elite warrior? Or perhaps she never told him because in her heart she'd hope that at some point she can have some life of normalcy with him, and didn't want his clearly frail ego to distance himself from her after learning she was the better warrior. I guess it's poetic that he thinks about her as the better one in his last moments.

Pai mei is the pettiest and most POWERFUL person in the Universe, the deadliest combination of all. Snake is certainly not the first person who tried to poison him over the 1000 years, so I don't believe he can be killed that easily.

Bill tells the story of how Pai Mei murdered 60 monks over one of them essentially not saying "good afternoon" to him, and Uma Thurman's face is this the entire time: 2:13

Probably David Carradine's best scene in a movie, ever. Tarantino is a master at casting the right person in the role destiny created for them.Consider all the main characters, and think of someone else playing that character, difficult, isn't it.

I've been watching these Kill Bill clips the whole day, I might've watched the full movie.

Pai Mei/Bak Mei (White Eyebrows) was based off a real life person and there is a Kung fu style named after him. His story as I know it but not to be taken as historical fact. He was one of the Five Elders of the Shaolin Temple and partly responsible for its fall. During this time the Ming Dynasty had become corrupted and would be easily overthrown by the Manchurians(Qing dynasty). The leader of the Temple Hong Mei(Red Eye Brows) died and was succeeded by fellow monk Jee Sin. (possible jealousy for being passed over?) Their was contention at the temple between the two as to whom they would they would support the corrupt Ming or foreign Qing? The Manchurian's had trouble suppressing the revolt of the Xilufan and so the Shaolin aided them with no loses but this ended up making them look like a potential threat and so two ministers plotted their destruction and although they where unable to convince the Kangxi emperor whom was grateful for their aid where able to sway his successor the Yongzheng emperor to attack the temple. The other elders survived the massacre and would find safety at other temples for the time being Bak Mei was initially sent to Spy while his brothers and sisters prepared for rebellion but the more he saw, the more he realized their attempt would be fruitless and so he betrayed them in exchange for the his life and the lives of his students by agreeing to lead their imperial forces against his former temple. Hated for his betrayal Bak Mei would be hunted by the surviving rebel monks and would have to go into hiding, converting to Taoism.but those whom confronted him would die at his hands,. Finally Jee Sin and Bak Mei would meet face to face again and to spare bloodshed among all those whom followed both men decided they would end the conflict in single combat between the two. The two fought long and hard with Bak Mei the victor broke Jee Sin's neck. Later Wu Ah Phiew(not sure his story) and Hoong Man Ting a student of Hoong Hei Khoon a layman(non religious monk) taught by Jee Sin would avenge their master and masters master by killing Bak Mei in combat. Initially Hoong Man Ting's wife Fong Wing a superb fighter of her own would try to convince them to seek peace over violence but Bak Mei's betrayal was so great that it could not be unavenged and so she made her husband promise that regardless of the outcome that this would be end of the conflict. The two men killed Bak Mei in combat and retired as martial artists promising to live hermetic of seclusion and pacifism. Later in life Hoong Khoon in his eighties would find a young girl fainted on their doorstep and so he and his wife adopted her. Acting a dutiful daughter she would act as if to serve him tea but would strike him with the Phoenix Eye punch a move synonymous with the Bak Mei style. Instead of taking action on this girl, he remembered his wife's wisdom about vengeance never ending so he accepted his karma and died peacefully.

I first got to know David Carradine through Kung Fu the legend continues in 1993. Him with the flute, the slow speaking style and the Shaolin background. David channels that background in this dialogue because it's so damn cool. It holds you. Even though he is playing a character completely, galactically opposite to Kwai Chiang Caine, you really want to listen. Brilliant performance. RIP legend.

Ultimate badassery 🔥

Bruce Lee : Jeet Kune Do Pai Mei stroking his white beard : That was cute

David's voice is smooth..great storyteller.

It occurs to me that every element of this scene has an innate simultaneous life/death dichotomy. Light/dark. Beauty/brutality. Except for the flute... The desert landscape itself is beautiful, it's also a harsh and brutal environment where only the strongest meanest creatures can survive. The fire. Fire is the first building block of humanity, we need it, it sustains human life, it's beautiful, and it kills and consumes and it's a horrific way to die. Life and death at the same time. The sky. Night represents death, yet the night sky in the desert is incredibly beautiful at the same time. A beautiful woman in the firelight, and she's also a savage killer. Beauty and brutality at the same time. Bill, with his incredible voice playing beautiful music and reciting a beautiful story, and he's a ruthless killer... The only exception is the flute. Is Tarantino making a statement about how music is transcendent? It rises above and it's apart from these concerns? Or, maybe that flute has been used as a weapon to bludgeon someone to death?

The flute using these tones has been used in a lot of Hollywood kung fu productions as a way to impart a ethereal(spiritual) feel to the scene. David Carradine was in a kung fu tv series (played the character Caine) in the early 1970s and has a long history with the instrument.

This movie is my happy place.

I think the Monk was too scared to even look at Pai Mei but none the less, big F up.

"... and that will be the story of you." Goddamnit, what an amazing performance.

Everytime I watch this video, I always get a feeling this story of Pai Mei was inspired from the history of Chanakya. Chanakya, a poor Brahmin, on being insulted by the mighty king Nanda, from whom even greek conqueror Alexander feared and retreated, plotted an elaborate revenge, vanquished the entire royal family of the Nandas and ended up replacing king Nanda with Chandragupta Maurya and thus architecting beginning of the glorious Mauryan dynasty in India.

I always like to explain the consequences of an action I think is completely irrational or absurd and then conclude with “ .. and that will be the story of you.” It always gets a double take

One of my favourite scenes in the masterpiece.

She’s so smitten by him. I can see why she let Bill finish because he literally is the goat. He’s that guy .

Because of this scene I always make sure I give everyone I pass a slight nod

That sounds incredibly petty and below someone who is "infinitely wise"

Can you imagine being buried in a box six feet below...ALIVE? This is truly when her training by Pai Mei showed its success!

The wood in that fire has to be the strongest wood in history. They never even moved.

I've read that the flute he is using is the same one that he used in the movie "Circle of Iron" when he played a blind beggar/guide. Whether it really is, is hard to say. Carradine had several flutes.

Campfire scene reminds me the Snake Charmer hypnotized dangerous snake with flute

I love how Beatrice smiles @ him!

Plot twist, Pai Mei was totally his secret crush and he was so overcome with emotion that he noticed him that he couldn't think straight until they had passed each other, and by then it was too late. He almost turned and got his attention just to nod at him but realized that would be idiotic, so he ran home with his tear ducts and nasal passage overproducing secretions all the way. The next day he was so angry with himself for blowing his chance so badly that he vowed he would finally make the move and send a letter to Pai Mei professing his long burning love. Unfortunately Pai Mei came before the mail man and the rest is history... they left the love letter part out of the legend because it was private and some of the old timers found it pretty gay tbh

She’s a cutie pie!!!

Moral of the story. Show respect to your elders. Especially if they are as powerful of Pai Mei.

PAI MEI IS AWESOME HIS PERSONALITY IS EXACTLY THE WAY I FEEL AND LIVE HE IS COMPLETELY DESENSITIZED LIKE THE WORLD HAS MADE ME IF I HAD TO TEACH ANY ONE TRAINING I WOULD TEACH EXACTLY LIKE PAI .

I love how when first watching this movie you almost join Beatrix and assuming that it's a joke. And I love that how when you finally see pie Mei he is ultra badass

Everyone who's ever played pai has done a good job

Pai Mei: "And it became personal with me"

There once was man who played with his flute. He played with his flute in a hotel room. He knew how to play with that flute in the most perfect way. He knew how to make that flute sing. He made it sing in a secret way that only he and his wardrobe knew.

This is my favorite scene from ANY movie and ive seen it all from "here comes mr jordan" to "valley of the wolves" which is a banned iraqi movie... Ive seen it all and this one scene and umas smile as the fire caresses her face and Carrodene is playing the wooden flute, telling his legend of pei mei. Its amazing. Gentle and beautiful.

I tell this story to my kids before bed time and they love it lol

do you still go back to that day...?

A grand martial art master killed an army of monks just cause a monk didn’t give him a ‘what’s up dude’ nod?! DAM

the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique has got nothing on the Wuxi finger hold.

Kinda interesting how the Pai Mei story of him killing all the monks at the temple is similar of how Beatrix killed the entire 88 crazy gang in their lair

it is bill who taught her the technique without him noticing

I love how bill does not describe Pai Mei like a normal human or of a story about a certain guy he describes him Like some sort of Supernatural Creature from a Myth or story making Pei mai all the more awesome and scary

I love those unboxing videos. Best coffin review

I wish we would've gotten a scene like this in The Last Jedi, where Luke tells Rey a story that Master Yoda told him in Empire Strikes Back (off-screen of course lol) Woukd have been great to see them meditate by a fire in the dark of night.... But i digress, this scene is so important for any kung fu film.

What about the two versions of the Ben temple scene that Luke tells to rey? "By the time I realised I was no match for the darkness rising in him . . . It was too late." "I saw darkness. I'd sensed it building in him. I'd seen it in flashes during his training . . . "

"If you flash him, even in an instant a defiant eye, he'll pluck it out"! Yea Bill, isnt that the Elle Driver story?

Yep much later when Elle and Beatrix were confronting each other at Budd's trailer with swords drawn(Elle having Bea's newly made Hattori Hanzo sword and Bea having Budd's sword that he hidden in a sack of golf clubs). She wanted to know what Elle said that insulted Pai Mei. She tells Beatrix that before a training session, she called him a miserable old fool. Beatrix responded by saying that was a bad idea since Bill did warn the group not to show any form of disrespect towards him and they must obey him. She paid for her insolence when Pai Mei snatched out her left eye and warned her that her right eye will be next if she ever shows disrespect to him again. In retribution for losing her left eye, Elle killed Pai Mei by poisoning his fish heads.

He was warning Beatrix not to show any disrespect towards Pai Mei or else he will punish her either by breaking her arm or snatching out her eye. It was the same warning that he gave to O-Ren, Budd and Vernita. Maybe Bill had a bad time with Pai Mei's harsh training and he said something disrespectful to him in his youth. He punished Bill by breaking his arm. This taught him a hard lesson not to mess with Pai Mei. This lesson they had learned very well except Elle.

Something that most fail to understand is that Quentin Tarantino has a flawless record of films (Deathproof as the weakest, admitted by Tarantino, himself) within his career and truly is the greatest Directors of all time. Yes, most would have their own picks like Spielberg although he has had plenty of iconic films Quentin rarely has any films in his record that miss miserably. Not many can say that.

Although he only wrote it, I thought Natural Born Killers was a low point for Tarantino. Sure, I appreciate that it's a piss-take of how much attention the media gives to murderers, but I think he went too far with it. All of the films that Tarantino directed had some sense of morality about them, but that was completely absent in Natural Born Killers.

sorry but Tarantino is not even close to one of the greatest of history, he is a great storyteller and filmmaker, but his stories are void, and are just a pleasure to watch in a sensory and perverse way, just like Spielberg both hit some psique within, infant wonder and the natural taste for violence...i ask you, what Tarantino movies can teach you about humanity or to be a better human being? Nothing...
