10 Things You Didn't Know About Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
4. Daryl Hannah's Reaction To Losing Her Last Eye Was Improvised
What would you do if you lost an eye? You'd probably be pretty distraught: upset but comforted in the fact that you still had one left. Well, what if you lost both of them? In Tarantino's script for the aptly-named eye-plucking scene, he wanted Hannah's character to start screaming as her only remaining retina was ripped from its socket by Beatrix, but the rest of the scene was entirely improvised by Hannah herself. That means when you next watch the scene where Elle goes absolutely mental in the trailer, throwing debris around the room, shouting hysterically and stumbling over everything in sight, you can have a little chuckle to yourself knowing that Hannah pretty much played the entire sequence by ear. Even better is the fact that Hannah acted like a lunatic in the first place, thinking Tarantino would find it funny - not actually thinking it would be taken seriously. Tarantino evidently did find it funny, because he ended up actually using the footage in the final version of the film.
