Pai Mei is an eccentric and aggressive trainer, so it is sensible that Tarantino would wish to carry such a novel character to life. In a 2004 interview with IGN, Tarantino described the preparation he had performed to play the function, however how he ultimately determined in opposition to taking part in the character so he may deal with making the movie nearly as good because it may very well be:
“I would performed all of the coaching on him, and we shot for eight weeks within the Home of Blue Leaves. And someplace within the fifth week of capturing within the Home of Blue Leaves, I used to be identical to, ‘You realize, I am simply having, one, a lot enjoyable directing this. […] And two, it is taking all the things that I’ve to direct it, that swiftly I wasn’t wanting ahead to taking part in Pai Mei anymore.'”
Tarantino’s resolution in opposition to taking part in the function was for the most effective. Because it already stands, writing and directing the 2 “Kill Invoice” movies was a tall job and one which Tarantino had set out to do out of risk of failure. Unsurprisingly, his dedication to his function as a director was stronger than eager to have some enjoyable taking part in a martial arts character in his personal film. Fortunately, Tarantino discovered the proper actor to carry Pai Mei to life.
