Son of a ****buckets no one told me Bill from Kill Bill was the Kung Fu guy!
And no one told me that "Budd" was the sadistic "Mr. Blonde!" from Reservoir Dogs!
Or that "Elle Driver" was that mermaid chick!
Or that "O-Ren" was that Asian girl from Ally McBeal!
Or that "Vernita Green" was Will Smith's girlfriend when the aliens invaded!



I posted this at our last forum but I remember my mind being blown when I found out Bennett from Commando
