8 Movies We Didn’t Know Were Origin Stories Going In

8. Kill Bill Vol. 1

The Bride's roaring rampage of revenge in Quentin Tarantino's two-part Kill Bill epic saw her first target Vivica A. Fox's Vernita Green, aka Copperhead of the Deadly Vipers.

Turning up at Copperhead's house, Uma Thurman's Bride has an initial tussle with her rival before the pair play nice once Vernita's young daughter Nikki arrives home from school. From there, Green and B head to the kitchen, sup some coffee and discuss plans to meet up on the beach at dark for a good old fashioned knife fight.

Of course, that is until Copperhead tries to get one over on the Bride, using a cereal box-hidden pistol to try and kill her one-time teammate. Avoiding this gunshot and fatally throwing a knife in Vernita's chest, the Bride turns around to be greeted by the tragic sight of Nikki.

How does Thurman's character handle this slightly awkward situation? Why, she offers Nikki the opportunity to seek her out to avenge her mother's death once she's older. And with that, the table is set for Tarantino's oft-discussed Kill Bill Vol. 3.

As QT has detailed over the years, that threequel - should it eventually happen - would indeed see Nikki on her own roaring rampage of revenge, as she targets the woman responsible for killing her mom.
