20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 2

9. Daryl Hannah Homages Her Blade Runner Death

After Beatrix removes Elle's other eye, she ends up squirming around on the floor of Budd's trailer in agonising pain, left to die (or not?) in the trailer with the very black mamba she used to kill Budd.

But watch the frantic way that Elle writhes around on the floor - doesn't it look a little familiar?

Blade Runner fans will surely remember the iconic death scene of Daryl Hannah's replicant character Pris, who while dying at the hands of Deckard (Harrison Ford) spasms around on the floor before finally being "retired."

While violently rolling around is probably a pretty natural reaction to having your eyeball ripped out, the movement pattern between the two scenes is just so similar that, while also being played by the same actress, it's tough to view it as anything less than a homage.
