Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is undoubtedly one of the greatest commercial successes in the history of crime movies.

The Washington Post had written that Thurman was “serenely unrecognizable in a black wig, [and] is marvelous as a zoned-out gangster’s girlfriend.”

KILL BILL – with David Carredine

Quentin Tarantino surely does get the best out of Uma Thurman because her next best success was another action thriller called Kill Bill. The story of Kill Bill follows a character initially identified as “The Bride”, a former member of an assassination team who seeks revenge on her ex-colleagues who massacred members of her wedding party and tried to kill her. Kill Bill was a massive success mainly due to the excellent chemistry that the late, David Carredine (Bill) had with Uma Thurman.
