What do you think would happen if you did a Beatrix Kiddo fight with a plank?

Probably the same thing that happened to Beatrix, a bloody busted up hand, except unlike her I wouldn’t break through the plank at the end :P

GQ just as a nod to the movie reference. I love Q.

I just think that it must be impossible in reality.

Nah its possible

Spinoff question. Obviously we know the Bride’s name, but I don’t think it’s ever said in the movie, in fact they bleep it out at one point. So how is it that we all just know her name was Beatrix Kiddo?

Ah.

@uberbatman but that plank is surely way thinner than the one BK uses in the film… it’s like 3–4 inches thick isn’t it?

@nebule I don’t know but we’re talking about Bruce Lee here, he did all kinds of crazy shit that shouldn’t have been possible. He probably knew the five point palm exploding heart technique for real :P

:-) xx

I always figured it was the dirt behind the plank that made for the real problem.

hee hee @fundevogel you are funny!

Think about it, if she actually broke the plank she’d just succeed in destroying the one thing keeping the ground above her from collapsing all around her. Best case scenario she changes her end from slow suffocation to quickly choking on dirt or, if she’s really lucky, simply being crushed to death. And that’s why Tarantino pulls a veil over her escape in the movie.
