1. Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman came up with the plot all the way back in 1994, while they were working on Pulp Fiction. She said it took them "minutes" to create a solid idea.
2. Thurman was pregnant when the script was finally finished 10 years later, pushing production back further. Tarantino waited, saying he knew how perfect she'd be for the part.
3. Though the story throughout both films skips around in time frame, it was actually shot in sequence.

5. The first time Thurman practiced swinging a sword on set, she "hit herself in the head and nearly burst into tears."
6. Thurman initially thought Tarantino's physical expectations for her on set were "literally absurd," especially since her martial arts and sword-fighting training started just three months after she gave birth to her second child.
7. Thurman's on-set trainer was Yuen Wo-ping, the same trainer used for The Matrix films and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
8. Tarantino admitted The Bride would have been an entirely different character if the script hadn't taken so long to finish. Spending time with Thurman and her daughter inspired a more family-centric storyline.
9. The two films were the first in Tarantino's career where violence was actually portrayed on screen — in full detail — as opposed to being left to the imagination.
