10 Things You Didn’t Know About Quentin Tarantino

It isn't long 'til Quentin Tarantino's seventh movie Django Unchained hits theatres, and going by the early reactions it's looking to be a doozy. After he's brought us defining works in the gangster, blaxploitation, samurai, war and slasher genres, we're practically giddy to see just what Tarantino has done with the spaghetti western. So whilst we wait for Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz to don their cowboy hits and ride out to meet Leonard DiCaprio, we've put together a list of 10 things you probably didn't know about Quentin Jerome Tarantino to help pass the time. We won't count his middle name - "Jerome" - as one.

6. Tarantino was originally going to play Pai Mei in Kill Bill, Vol. 2

In a bizarre revelation that we’re glad didn’t amount to anything, Tarantino recently revealed that he was originally set to play Asian martial arts master Pai Mei in Kill Bill, Vol. 2, a part that (thankfully) went to Gordon Liu.

“I’d trained to do the fights and everything,” Tarantino said. “But it was such a big-deal movie that it needed all my attention directing. When I was done with it, I decided that if I’m going to be on a set, I want it to be my set, with me directing. I don’t want to be an actor in somebody else’s movie.”

Though a casting decision like this would have surely brought something, uh… else… to the table, we can’t imagine Tarantino taking on a role like Pai Mei without it being completely laughable. A long white beard and massive eyebrows is the last thing the guy needs.
