<p>Ladies and gentlemen, get your katanas ready and don your yellow jumpsuits because it's been two glorious decades since Quentin Tarantino unleashed the ferocious femme fatale known as Beatrix Kiddo, aka The Bride, in the cinematic whirlwind that was Kill Bill: Volume 1. Buckle up, as we embark on a retrospective journey through the adrenaline-soaked, sword-swinging extravaganza that has become a cult classic of epic proportions.</p>

<p>Also Read |&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/why-quentin-tarantino-martin-scorsese-et-al-are-right-about-marvel-movies-537156">Why Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, et al. are right about Marvel movies</a></strong></p>

<h2><strong>Once upon a time in a theatre near you...</strong></h2>

<p>It was the year 2003. The world of cinema was still reeling from the shockwaves of <em>The Matrix </em>and its bullet-dodging antics. But Quentin Tarantino, never one to follow the beaten path, decided to take the red pill and create a movie that would redefine cinematic coolness itself. And so, he did, with the first installment of <em>Kill Bill</em>.</p>

<h2><strong>A lethal cocktail of action and style</strong></h2>

<p>From the moment the movie kicks off with the iconic "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra, you know you're in for something special. The opening scene, a face-off between Uma Thurman's Bride and the enigmatic Bill, sets the stage for what's to come - a rollercoaster of revenge, redemption, and razor-sharp wit.</p>

<h2><strong>The Bride: A heroine for the ages</strong></h2>

<p>Uma Thurman's portrayal of The Bride is nothing short of legendary. She's a lethal mix of grace and gore, slicing through her enemies like a hot knife through butter. She's not just a woman seeking vengeance; she's a force of nature, an avenging angel with a wickedly dark sense of humour. Tarantino gives her the sharpest one-liners and the most gruesome battles, and Thurman serves them up with a side of charisma that's impossible to resist.</p>

<h2><strong>The Crazy 88</strong></h2>

<p>Who could forget the showdown at the House of Blue Leaves? The Bride takes on the Crazy 88, and all hell breaks loose. It's a ballet of blood, limbs, and broken glass. Tarantino's signature hyper-violence is on full display, but it's so artfully done that it becomes a thing of beauty, like a blood-soaked painting in motion.</p>

<p><img alt="Kill Bill Volume 1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f8a66832-8425-4f58-bcc1-cfac4440d605" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/kill-bill-volume-1%20%281%29.png" /></p>

<h2><strong>O-Ren Ishii: Queen of Cool</strong></h2>

<p>Lucy Liu's portrayal of O-Ren Ishii, the icy Yakuza queen, is a masterclass in understated villainy. She's sophisticated, ruthless, and she wields a sword like it's an extension of her being. The showdown between The Bride and O-Ren on the snowy rooftop is a visual feast, with buckets of style and a dash of poetic justice.</p>

<h2><strong>A touch of Tarantino magic</strong></h2>

<p>Tarantino's unique storytelling style, non-linear narrative, and penchant for pop culture references are in full bloom. <em>Kill Bill: Volume 1</em> is a love letter to the martial arts genre, spaghetti westerns, and grindhouse cinema. It's a mishmash of influences that somehow coalesce into a cinematic symphony.</p>

<h2><strong>The cliffhanger ending</strong></h2>

<p>And just when you thought you could catch your breath, Tarantino leaves you hanging on a cliff (literally). The ending of <em>Kill Bill: Volume 1</em> is the ultimate tease, setting the stage for the highly anticipated Volume 2.</p>

<h2><strong>The legacy lives on</strong></h2>

<p>Twenty years later, <em>Kill Bill: Volume 1</em> remains a touchstone of cinematic coolness. Its impact on pop culture is undeniable, with references to The Bride's yellow jumpsuit, Hattori Hanzo swords, and the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique still popping up in movies, TV shows, and even video games.</p>

<p>So, here's to<em> Kill Bill: Volume 1</em>, a film that's as stylish as it is savage, as witty as it is wicked. It's a testament to Tarantino's genius and Uma Thurman's bada**ery. As we raise our swords (or popcorn buckets) in tribute, let's remember that some films are not just movies; they are cinematic milestones. And <em>Kill Bill: Volume 1</em> is one for the ages, carving its name into the annals of cinematic history with a Hattori Hanzo sword.</p>

Uma Thurman to star as Arianna Huffington in series on the journey of Uber

<p>Hollywood star Uma Thurman has disclosed "her darkest secret" from her teenage years in a Washington Post op-ed. On Tuesday, Thurman condemned the Texas abortion law in the op-ed, revealing that she had an abortion in her late teens.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thurman explained that her opening up about the darkest secret of her life was to help those women who were feeling powerless.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She shared the secret stating that “some light will shine through, reaching women and girls who might feel a shame that they can’t protect themselves from and have no agency over.”<br />
<br />
In September, Texas passed a new law that effectively bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The law allows private citizens to sue abortion providers and any individuals helping a woman get an abortion — even Uber drivers for transporting them.<br />
<br />
Thurman started acting at the age of 15. She revealed that by her late teens she was “accidentally impregnated by a much older man” while living out of a suitcase in Europe. She had no family around at that time and was starting a new job.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thurman, now 51, said she wanted to keep the baby but wasn't aware of how to go about it.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She said she called home to discuss with family who said that keeping the relationship with the older man was not an option and raising the baby on her own at such a young age would be difficult.<br />
<br />
"My childish fantasy of motherhood was soundly corrected as I weighed answers to their very precise questions. … We decided as a family that I couldn’t go through with the pregnancy and agreed that termination was the right choice. My heart was broken nonetheless."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reacting to the recent law in Texas, Thurman stated that it would only pit people against one another and allow vigilantes to go after disadvantaged women. It denies women their ability to choose whether to have children, she continued.<br />
<br />
“The Texas abortion law was allowed to take effect without argument by the Supreme Court, which, due in no small part to its lack of ideological diversity, is a staging ground for a human rights crisis for American women. This law is yet another discriminatory tool against those who are economically disadvantaged, and often, indeed, against their partners. Women and children of wealthy families retain all the choices in the world, and face little risk,” Thurman wrote.<br />
<br />
“I have followed the course of Texas’s radical antiabortion law with great sadness, and something akin to horror. Now, in the hope of drawing the flames of controversy away from the vulnerable women on whom this law will have an immediate effect, I am sharing my own experience. You might not be interested in the opinions of an actress, but given this new outrage, I feel it is my responsibility to stand up in their shoes,” Thurman further wrote.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Uma Thurman has three children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ace filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has time and again said that he will make just one more film after the release of the upcoming `Once Upon A Time In Hollywood`, but is his final project a `Kill Bill` sequel?</p>

<p>The 56-year-old director spoke about the possibility of a `Kill Bill: Vol. 3` with actor star Uma Thurman, who starred in the previous instalments of the film, on the `Happy Sad Confused` podcast, reported People.</p>

<p>"Me and Uma have been actually talked about it recently, frankly, to tell you the truth," Tarantino said.</p>

<p>"I`m not sure if I`m going to do it, but I have thought about it a little further," he added.</p>

<p>The director continued, "And if any of my movies would be taken -- me and Uma were literally talking about it last week -- so if any of my movies were going to spring from one of my other movies, it would be the third Kill Bill."</p>

<p>On being asked if there was a character he thought about most often, Tarantino said, "I think the four that would qualify the most would be the Bride, Bill, Landa, and Aldo," referring to Thurman, David Carridine, Christoph Waltz and Brad Pitt`s characters, respectively.</p>

<p>"I wondered about what happens to the Bride, you know 10 years later, 15 years later, what happens to her daughter," he said.</p>

<p>"With Bill -- none of these I`ve worked out scenarios for -- but the whole Bill origin story has always entranced me with the idea of these three godfathers: Esteban Vihaio, the Mexican pimp; Hattori Hanzo and Pai Mei. And how he had to go through all three of those to become this diabolical Bill," he added.</p>

<p>Tarantino has been vocal about retiring from filmmaking after helming 10 movies.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, he mentioned a `Star Trek` film could be a contender, adding, "It might happen."</p>

<p>On being asked what`s next for Tarantino after he has retired from filmmaking? The director said he has his eye on writing."I see myself writing books and starting to write theatre, so I`ll still be creative. I just think I`ve given all I have to give to movies," Tarantino told GQ Australia earlier this month, as cited by People.</p>

<p>`Once Upon a Time in Hollywood`, Tarantino`s ninth film, revolves around actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt ), both of whom struggle to find a place in the industry as the `60s` end. The film follows them as they make their way through a changing film industry, and fight to reclaim their fame. Apart from DiCaprio, Pitt, the film also stars Margot Robbie, late actor Luke Perry, Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, Timothy Olyphant, Emile Hirsch, Damian Lewis, Michael Madsen, Lena Dunham, and Kurt Russell. Margot recently revealed that she <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-margot-robbie-reveals-she-feels-personal-connection-to-sharon-tate-238243">feels&nbsp;'personal connection' to Sharon Tate.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>It is produced by Shannon McIntosh and David Heyman. Perry, who will be last seen on the silver screen as Scott Lancer, a fictitious character in `Once Upon A Time In Hollywood`, passed away at the age of 52 on March 4 after suffering a massive stroke.</p>

<p>The film is slated to hit the theatres in India on August 15, this year.</p>

'Kill Bill: Vol. 3'? Quentin Tarantino says he talked to Uma Thurman about possible sequel

<p>For all those who have binge-watched the latest season of Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ or have even seen the first few would know that the show has added a couple of new characters like the unmissable Robin to Steve as they work together at an ice cream parlour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The world was almost oblivious to Maya until the proud parents introduced her on their social media profiles, congratulating her on her work in the series. Ethan shared a video on his profile and wrote, "Some of you may have missed her in last year's BBC production of Little Women. Some of you may have missed her work at Juilliard. I know many missed out on numerous high school productions heck I even missed a few and I'm her father.</p>

<p>"Some of you may know her music, some may not. But Ladies and Gentleman, get to know MAYA HAWKE. She's the real thing. #StrangerThings."</p>

<p>Lars von Trier, who was declared a "persona non grata" seven years ago at the Cannes Film Festival, is making a comeback to cinema extravaganza with his film "The House That Jack Built".<br />
<br />
The news was shared by festival organisers in a press statement.<br />
<br />
The release also said that Terry Gilliam's "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote", starring Adam Driver, Jonathan Pryce and Olga Kurylenko, will close this year's festival as another out-of-competition title.<br />
<br />
"The House That Jack Built" stars Matt Dillon, Riley Keough, Bruno Ganz and Uma Thurman. The film is set in Washington State and covers the life and crimes of a serial killer over a 12-year period.<br />
<br />
Von Trier, who used to be a regular at the festival, was declared unwelcome at the festival following his controversial comments about Hitler during the 2011 press conference of "Melancholia".<br />
<br />
The festival's artistic director Thierry Fremaux recently confirmed von Triers return during an interview with French radio station Europe 1.<br />
<br />
Fremaux had said Cannes President Pierre Lesucure has really worked over the past few days to "remove this persona non grata" status which von Trier received seven years ago, "thinking that its maybe time to give him a spot again as a filmmaker".<br />

<p>Quentin Tarantino, <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-quentin-tarantino-clarifies-role-in-thurmans-kill-bill-car-crash-31998">who has faced a lot of heat for his role in Uma Thurman&#39;s <em>Kill Bill</em>&nbsp;car accident</a>, is under fire again for defending Roman Polanski over charges of raping a 13-year-old girl in an old interview that has resurfaced.</p>

<p>In the 2003 interview with Howard Stern, Tarantino said Polanski&#39;s 13-year-old rape victim &quot;wanted to have it&quot;.<br />
<br />
Polanski was arrested in 1977 for five offences following the alleged assault. He fled the US after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor.<br />
<br />
&quot;He didn&#39;t rape a 13-year-old,&quot; Tarantino said in the interview when asked by Stern why Hollywood continued to embrace Polanski. &quot;It was statutory rape. That&#39;s not quite the same thing... He had sex with a minor. That&#39;s not rape. To me, when you use the word &#39;rape&#39;, you&#39;re talking about violent, throwing them down; it&#39;s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. Throwing the word &#39;rape&#39; around is like throwing the word &#39;racist&#39; around. It doesn&#39;t apply to everything that people use it for. He was guilty of having sex with a minor.&quot;<br />
<br />
<em>The Howard Stern Show</em>&nbsp;co-host Robin Quivers interrupted the director to point out that the sex was not consensual.&nbsp;&quot;No, that was not the case at all. She wanted to have it and dated the guy,&quot; he said in the interview posted by Jezebel.<br />
<br />
To which an angry Quivers exclaimed, &quot;She was 13!&quot;<br />
<br />
Stern also pushed back, saying, &quot;Wait a minute. If you have sex with a 13-year-old girl and you&#39;re a grown man, you know that that&#39;s wrong.&quot;<br />
<br />
Tarantino replied, &quot;Look, she was down with this... She&#39;s talked about it since, &#39;No, he didn&#39;t really do anything to me. It was a technicality for being 13.&#39;&quot;<br />
<br />
Shocked by the director&#39;s comments, Stern asked, &quot;Would you ever seduce a 13-year-old with pills and booze?&quot;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;No, no, no. Again, you&#39;re killing him with the pills and booze thing,&quot; Tarantino said.<br />
<br />
When Quivers said Polanski could have avoided it by staying away from the minor, Tarantino said, &quot;He likes girls.&quot; &quot;She was down to party with Roman,&quot; he added.<br />
<br />
Ironically, Tarantino is all set to make a movie on the murder of Polanski&#39;s wife, actor Sharon Tate by the members of the Charles Manson cult.<br />
<br />
The director, who had a close working relationship with Harvey Weinstein, recently admitted that he knew about the disgraced producer&#39;s history as a serial offender.<br />
<br />
In a New York Times article, Thurman had said that she told Tarantino about Weinstein. She also revealed that Tarantino forced to do a car stunt which resulted in an accident on the sets of <em>Kill Bill</em>.<br />

Old interview of Quentin Tarantino defending Roman Polanski resurfaces

<p>Quentin Tarantino has opened up about his role in Uma Thurman&#39;s car crash on the sets of <em>Kill Bill</em>, calling it &quot;the biggest regret&quot; of his life but denied any involvement in hiding the footage from the actor.<br />
<br />
The director, in a detailed interview with Deadline, also discussed Thurman&#39;s sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the aftermath of the crash and accusations of cruelty in the star&#39;s recent New York Times story.<br />
<br />
&quot;... That is one of the biggest regrets of my life. As a director, you learn things and sometimes you learn them through horrendous mistakes. That was one of my most horrendous mistakes, that I didn&#39;t take the time to run the road, one more time, just to see what I would see,&quot; Tarantino said.<br />
<br />
In the article, Thurman had revealed that she suffered severe injuries after she was pressured into driving a stunt car she did not feel comfortable operating.<br />
<br />
The studio, fearing a lawsuit, allegedly refused to provide Thurman&#39;s lawyer with the footage of the crash.<br />
<br />
Tarantino, who has been facing a lot of heat for allegedly colluding with Weinstein in hiding the footage from Thurman in the NYT article, in fact, it was he, who finally dug out the clip and gave it to the actor for the article.<br />
<br />
&quot;Uma asked, could I get her the footage? I had to find it, 15 years later. We had to go through storage facilities, pulling out boxes... I couldn&#39;t believe it. I didn&#39;t think we were going to be able to find it. It was clear and it showed the crash and the aftermath. I was very happy to get it to Uma.&quot;<br />
<br />
Tarantino said he knew that the article on Thurman would include the crash footage but he did not realise he would be considered the villain in the situation.<br />
<br />
The director said the &quot;prose&quot; of the New York Times article made it seem like Thurman blamed him for the crash, whereas the actor hoped the footage would indict the film&#39;s producers; in an Instagram post on Monday, Thurman defended Tarantino, saying she held producers Lawrence Bender, E Bennett Walsh, and &quot;the notorious Harvey Weinstein solely responsible&quot;.<br />
<br />
&quot;Quentin Tarantino was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so I could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible,&quot; Thurman wrote.<br />
<br />
&quot;He also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and I am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage,&quot; she said in her post.<br />
<br />
Tarantino, on his part, admitted that he still blames himself for convincing Thurman to sit in the car as he thought it was a simple driving scene and had already taken a test drive. The director also mentioned that the Hollywood star was a shaky driver at the time.<br />
<br />
&quot;I start hearing from the production manager, Bennett Walsh, that Uma is trepidatious about doing the driving shot,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
&quot;None of us ever considered it a stunt. It was just driving. None of us looked at it as a stunt. Maybe we should have, but we didn&#39;t. I&#39;m sure when it was brought up to me, that I rolled my eyes and was irritated. But I&#39;m sure I wasn&#39;t in a rage and I wasn&#39;t livid. I didn&#39;t go barging into Uma&#39;s trailer, screaming at her to get into the car.&quot;<br />
<br />
Tarantino, who worked with Thurman on his biggest hits <em>Pulp Fiction</em>&nbsp;and <em>Kill Bill&nbsp;</em>series, admitted that the crash led to problems in their relationship.<br />
<br />
&quot;She blamed me for the crash and she had a right to blame me... I didn&#39;t mean to do it. I talked her into getting in the car, I assured her the road was safe. And it wasn&#39;t. The car might even have been dubious too even if I didn&#39;t know that then. We had our issues about it.&quot;<br />
<br />
Tarantino said Thurman told him that Weinstein forced himself on her and he believed her as the producer had acted in a similar manner with his then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino.<br />
<br />
&quot;While we were getting ready to do <em>Kill Bill</em>, Uma tells me that he had done the same thing to her. That was when I realised there was a pattern, in Harvey&#39;s luring and pushing attacks. So I made Harvey apologise to Uma,&quot; the director said.<br />
<br />
He also addressed the accusations that he spat on and choked Thurman during key scenes in <em>Kill Bill</em>&nbsp;but the director said it was done with complete trust between them and it was required for a scene.<br />
<br />
Tarantino blamed NYT columnist Maureen Dowd for the use of her obtuse language in describing the incident.&nbsp;</p>

Quentin Tarantino clarifies role in Thurman's 'Kill Bill' car crash

<p>Actress Uma Thurman, who is indelibly linked to Harvey Weinstein&#39;s Miramax studio thanks to her iconic roles in &quot;Pulp Fiction&quot; and &quot;Kill Bill,&quot; has broken her silence about the disgraced Hollywood mogul, accusing him of attacking her and threatening her career.</p>

<p>Dozens of Hollywood women -&ndash; including Ashley Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale and Salma Hayek -- have accused Weinstein of acts ranging from sexual harassment to rape.</p>

<p>The scandal touched off a deluge of allegations bringing down powerful men in entertainment, politics and the media, forcing many industries to re-examine workplace harassment policies.</p>

<p>Thurman, 47, told The New York Times in an interview published Saturday of two incidents in London that took place after the release of 1994&#39;s Oscar-winning &quot;Pulp Fiction.&quot;</p>

<p>They followed an uncomfortable episode at a Paris hotel in which Thurman said Weinstein was dressed in a bathrobe and led her into a steam room during a meeting about a script.</p>

<p>In the first &quot;attack,&quot; which took place in Weinstein&#39;s suite at London&#39;s Savoy Hotel, &quot;he pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things,&quot; she said.</p>

<p>&quot;But he didn&#39;t actually put his back into it and force me. You&#39;re like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard. I was doing anything I could to get the train back on the track. My track. Not his track.&quot;</p>

<p>Thurman said she took a friend with her to confront Weinstein not long after that first incident. But his assistants pressured her to meet him alone in his room.</p>

<p>Thurman said she told Weinstein: &quot;If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation and your family, I promise you.&quot;</p>

<p>Weinstein told the paper &quot;she very well could have said this.&quot;</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Don&#39;t deserve a bullet&#39;</strong></p>

<p>Thurman&#39;s friend Ilona Herman, who is Robert De Niro&#39;s longtime makeup artist, recalled in the Times that the actress came out of that one-on-one meeting &quot;very disheveled and so upset and had this blank look.&quot;</p>

<p>Herman said Thurman told her that Weinstein had threatened to end her career.</p>

<p>Weinstein denied doing so and &quot;acknowledges making an awkward pass 25 years ago at Ms Thurman in England after misreading her signals, after a flirtatious exchange in Paris, for which he immediately apologised and deeply regrets,&quot; his spokeswoman said in a statement received by AFP.</p>

<p>&quot;However, her claims about being physically assaulted are untrue... Mr Weinstein is saddened and puzzled as to &#39;why&#39; Ms Thurman, someone he considers a colleague and a friend, waited 25 years to make these allegations public.&quot;</p>

<p>Weinstein, who like other men accused of misconduct has been banished from the entertainment industry, is reportedly in treatment for sexual addiction. Until now, he has insisted all his sexual encounters have been consensual.</p>

<p>His lawyer Ben Brafman said Weinstein was &quot;stunned and saddened.&quot;</p>

<p>Thurman&#39;s comments to the Times &quot;are being carefully examined and investigated before deciding whether any legal action against her would be appropriate,&quot; Brafman said in a statement received by AFP.</p>

<p>The actress had suggested mistreatment by Weinstein in an Instagram post last November when she said: &quot;you don&#39;t deserve a bullet -- stay tuned.&quot;</p>

<p>In the Times interview, Thurman also accused director Quentin Tarantino -- who has often referred to her as his &quot;muse&quot; -- of forcing her to drive an unsafe car during filming of &quot;Kill Bill,&quot; leading to a serious crash.</p>

<p>In footage posted by the Times, the actress is seen speeding down an unpaved road before crashing into a tree. Thurman is jolted sickeningly and left dazed for several moments until crew members carry her away.</p>

<p>&quot;I felt this searing pain and thought, &#39;Oh my God, I&#39;m never going to walk again,&#39;&quot; she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me.&quot;</p>

<p>Tarantino did not respond to requests by the Times for comment.</p>

<p>Miramax told her at the time that she could see the footage of the crash if she gave up her right to sue, Thurman said. She declined.</p>

<p>&quot;When they turned on me after the accident,&quot; she said, &quot;I went from being a creative contributor and performer to being like a broken tool.&quot;</p>

<p>Thurman said she has complex feelings about her experiences, on the one hand as a victim but on the other as an enabler.</p>

<p>&quot;The complicated feeling I have about Harvey is how bad I feel about all the women that were attacked after I was,&quot; she told the<br />
Times.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I am one of the reasons that a young girl would walk into his room alone, the way I did. Quentin used Harvey as the executive producer of &#39;Kill Bill,&#39; a movie that symbolises female empowerment. And all these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you, but they do.&quot;</p>

The scandal touched off a deluge of allegations bringing down powerful men in entertainment, politics and the media, forcing many industries to re-examine workplace harassment policies. Thurman, 47, told The New York Times in an interview published Saturday of two incidents in London that took place after the release of 1994's Oscar-winning "Pulp Fiction." They followed an uncomfortable episode at a Paris hotel in which Thurman said Weinstein was dressed in a bathrobe and led her into a steam room during a meeting about a script. In the first "attack," which took place in Weinstein's suite at London's Savoy Hotel, "he pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things," she said. "But he didn't actually put his back into it and force me. You're like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard. I was doing anything I could to get the train back on the track. My track. Not his track." Thurman said she took a friend with her to confront Weinstein not long after that first incident. But his assistants pressured her to meet him alone in his room. Thurman said she told Weinstein: "If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation and your family, I promise you." Weinstein told the paper "she very well could have said this." 'Don't deserve a bullet' Thurman's friend Ilona Herman, who is Robert De Niro's longtime makeup artist, recalled in the Times that the actress came out of that one-on-one meeting "very disheveled and so upset and had this blank look." Herman said Thurman told her that Weinstein had threatened to end her career. Weinstein denied doing so and "acknowledges making an awkward pass 25 years ago at Ms Thurman in England after misreading her signals, after a flirtatious exchange in Paris, for which he immediately apologised and deeply regrets," his spokeswoman said in a statement received by AFP. "However, her claims about being physically assaulted are untrue... Mr Weinstein is saddened and puzzled as to 'why' Ms Thurman, someone he considers a colleague and a friend, waited 25 years to make these allegations public." Weinstein, who like other men accused of misconduct has been banished from the entertainment industry, is reportedly in treatment for sexual addiction. Until now, he has insisted all his sexual encounters have been consensual. His lawyer Ben Brafman said Weinstein was "stunned and saddened." Thurman's comments to the Times "are being carefully examined and investigated before deciding whether any legal action against her would be appropriate," Brafman said in a statement received by AFP. The actress had suggested mistreatment by Weinstein in an Instagram post last November when she said: "you don't deserve a bullet -- stay tuned." In the Times interview, Thurman also accused director Quentin Tarantino -- who has often referred to her as his "muse" -- of forcing her to drive an unsafe car during filming of "Kill Bill," leading to a serious crash. In footage posted by the Times, the actress is seen speeding down an unpaved road before crashing into a tree. Thurman is jolted sickeningly and left dazed for several moments until crew members carry her away. "I felt this searing pain and thought, 'Oh my God, I'm never going to walk again,'" she said. "Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me." Tarantino did not respond to requests by the Times for comment. Miramax told her at the time that she could see the footage of the crash if she gave up her right to sue, Thurman said. She declined. "When they turned on me after the accident," she said, "I went from being a creative contributor and performer to being like a broken tool." Thurman said she has complex feelings about her experiences, on the one hand as a victim but on the other as an enabler. "The complicated feeling I have about Harvey is how bad I feel about all the women that were attacked after I was," she told the Times. "I am one of the reasons that a young girl would walk into his room alone, the way I did. Quentin used Harvey as the executive producer of 'Kill Bill,' a movie that symbolises female empowerment. And all these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you, but they do."
