10 Awesome Movie Villains That Had Totally Lame Deaths
5. Bill - Kill Bill
Quentin Tarantino knows a thing or two about writing movie villains. From Hans Landa to Vincent Vega, QT's bad guys are a unique bunch; hilarious, dangerous, foul mouthed and predictably loquacious.
Throughout Kill Bill, Bill is referenced countless times in conversations and flashbacks before we get to finally meet him. Who is this guy with a miniature kung fu army at his disposal? Bill (code name Snake Charmer), is the leader of the Deadly Vipers and the Bride's (Uma Thurman) former lover, a man of global recognition from the States to Japan. Part martial arts master and part gunslinger, he seems to be a combination of Kane (from Kung Fu, the seventies TV hit starring Carradine himself) and Lee Van Cleef.
By the time we get to see him on screen, it's hard to know what to expect. The last thing we thought we were getting was a discussion on superhero ethics but then this is QT - a conversation is worth a million gun fights in his universe. It seems that Bill, while an intimidating person and ruthlessly protective, is actually quite sensitive and clearly hurt by The Bride's decision to leave him.
In the last act of Kill Bill: Volume 2, the expectations for a spectacular spot of martial arts were high but no, this guy is taken down by the infamous 'Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.' After The Bride's precision chest tapping, he just drops down dead on his back garden lawn without swinging a single punch
