BILL
David Carradine
Kill Bill (2003-4)
In Vol. 1, Bill (David Carradine) was little more than a menacing voice, the final target of the Bride's (Uma Thurman) righteous campaign of vengeance against the assassins who laid waste to her wedding and left her pregnant body for dead. It wasn't until Vol. 2 that Quentin Tarantino gave us a look at the guy, and what we found was a little surprising: He's mellow, affable, talkative, and an aficionado of Superman mythology. But make no mistake; Bill still knows how to menace. After all, he did snatch the Bride's baby and raise her as his own. ''I'm a killer, a murdering bastard,'' he tells her, just before she makes the title come true. ''And there are consequences to breaking the heart of a murdering bastard.'' Hey, at least he's honest about it. —Adam B. Vary
