Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me. I felt this searing pain and thought, 'Oh my God, I'm never going to walk again.' When I came back from the hospital in a neck brace with my knees damaged and a large massive egg on my head and a concussion, I wanted to see the car and I was very upset. Describing the accident and her resultant injuries to Dowd, Thurman said, "The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me. In Thurman's own words, the conversation wasn't pleasant. In the video, Tarantino is seen coming to Thurman's aid as well, giving her a bottle of water and speaking with her. Thurman's torso was "heaving helplessly" before crew members arrived to "pull her out of the wreckage." While slightly turning the steering wheel as the road twisted, Thurman had to wrestle with the vehicle, which veered off the road and slammed into a palm tree. The actress finally acquired footage of the stunt gone wrong in 2018, and the video, featured in the Times article, certainly isn't for the faint of heart. As busted by John Tavolta and Uma Thurman, all these moves come out in an improvisational fashion, each in response to the last: If John starts to do the Batman, then Uma’s going to ‘yes-and’ it with not only a Batman but an open palm, her own version of this move, adds choreographer Christopher Grant. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road."Īs it turned out, the car was far from fine, and Thurman was unable to control it while performing the scene. Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won't blow the right way and I'll make you do it again.' But that was a deathbox that I was in. He was furious because I'd cost them a lot of time. The actress was even surprised that the band asked for her permission at all, stating that was “incredibly chivalrous” for them to even ask her at all.As Thurman told Dowd, "Quentin came in my trailer and didn't like to hear no, like any director.

This time around things went well, however, with Thurman giving the band permission for her name. Now titled “Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Title of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued”, the song was originally titled “My Name is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations” but had to change for well, legal reasons. So that’s what the chorus of the song’s about, and the verses are what you would do to try and capture this woman’s affection.įall Out Boy also got permission from Thurman to use her name, which Wentz implied was to skirt any potential legal trouble as the band encountered with a song from their album From Under the Cork Tree. And rather than going with the traditional Uma Thurman role, we thought a lot about Kill Bill and who her character was in that, and this kind of resilience and this violence, but there’s something that’s authentic about it (like a woman taking revenge or being empowered). To me, Uma Thurman and Winona Ryder, they were these women in pop culture who were quirky, but that made me only crush on them harder.
