20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 1

4. The Bowling Pin Sound Effect When Gogo Gets Knocked Over

Kill Bill Vol 1

In the middle of the epic fight between the Bride and GoGo Yubari, GoGo ends up getting struck in the head with her own Meteor hammer, causing her to flip over and smash into the table she's standing on.

Listen closely, and there's a uniquely goofy flourish in the sound design: the sound of bowling pins getting knocked over.

Granted, the sound design throughout the fight is pretty silly and adventurous - the Meteor hammer makes a tiger-like growl when it flies through the air at the Bride - but even so, bowling pins is an especially daft choice.
