Revenge is Best Served Cold
This picture shows us one of the memorable scenes from Quentin Tarantino’s bloody two-part movie series, ‘Kill Bill’. The main character (known only as the Bride, played by Uma Thurman) is working her way through those who betrayed her, a long list of deadly assassins, leading up to the leader of the Crazy 88, O-Ren Ishi, played by Lucy Liu.
Like many of the scenes in this movie duology, this is a beautifully shot and designed scene that locks your eyes to the screen. This Japanese yamato nadeshiko versus angry yellow jumpsuit-wearing Bride shot is definitely pleasing to the eye.
Even Her Own Kids
Angelina Jolie has gone on record saying she wanted to be a “film noir goddess” with her costume for 'Maleficent 2'. But she may have gone a little bit overboard with the dark and deadly details, seeing as how nearly every child on the set – including her own children! – found her a little bit too frightful.
Even the child actors didn't enjoy how she looked, which led to plenty of adjusted details for the sequel, which she took, apparently. Hopefully the little ones were able to handle her look this time.
Some of These Scenes Were No Joke
'Joker' broke the box-office bank when it came out, and we learned plenty about Joaquin Phoenix's acting process thanks to behind the scenes photos.
There were plenty of scenes that were pre-planned (such as the photo booth or the famous stairs scene) but there were lots where they just let Phoenix do what he wanted: “When he climbed into the refrigerator, we had no idea he was going to do that. We set up two camera positions, and Joaquin just thought about what he would do if he was a massive insomniac. Again, we lit it so he could go anywhere, and the first and only time he did it, we were mesmerized.”
Pretending to Hate Someone Must be Difficult
While the cameras were rolling, Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman played the parts of two assassins who fought to the death among the snow and blood, and the Bride emerges victorious by slicing the top off of O-Ren Ishi's skull.
But when the cameras shut off and Tarantino called cut, the two actresses didn't have to act to be the best of friends. This famous image shows the aftermath of the fight as the two stars hug, complete with prosthetic head addition for Lucy Liu which, now that we aren't seeing it shot perfectly, looks pretty silly.
I Invented a Shrinking Car, Marty!
The DeLorean is one of the most famous cars in the world, thanks to its inclusion in one of the most movie trilogies ever, the 'Back to the Future' series. All three movies feature the vehicle heavily, as it's the way the entire plot kicks off, and how Doc Brown created his greatest invention.
The still here is from the third movie in the series, 'Back to the Future III', in which Marty chases Doc Brown to the year 1885 and has to figure out a way to power the car home. It's a miniature of the DeLorean, and the steam engine that got it up to speed the filmmakers used to keep costs down.
