Quentin Tarantino Says Uma Thurman's Crash on Kill Bill Is 'The Biggest Regret of My Life'

                                                                                             Quentin Tarantino is breaking his silence about Uma Thurman‘s crash on the set of Kill Bill calling it the “biggest regret of my life.”

The Oscar-winning director told Deadline in an interview published Monday that he was “guilty” of getting Thurman into the car that would eventually crash into a tree “but not the way that people are saying I am guilty of it.”

The interview comes two days after Thurman spoke of the incident in a New York Times article that detailed allegations of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein, who produced Kill Bill.  Thurman released footage of the crash on her Instagram account on Monday.

“It’s the biggest regret of my life, getting her to do that stunt,” he said. Tarantino said he delivered the video to the actress to offer “closure” and also to “help her with her memory of the incident.”

He said he never considered Thurman driving the car a stunt, just a simple driving sequence. Tarantino said when he heard of Thurman’s trepidation at driving he “rolled my eyes and was irritated. But I’m sure I wasn’t in a rage and I wasn’t livid.”

                                                                                 

i post this clip to memorialize it’s full exposure in the nyt by Maureen Dowd. the circumstances of this event were negligent to the point of criminality. i do not believe though with malicious intent. Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so i could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible. he also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and i am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage. THE COVER UP after the fact is UNFORGIVABLE. for this i hold Lawrence Bender, E. Bennett Walsh, and the notorious Harvey Weinstein solely responsible. they lied, destroyed evidence, and continue to lie about the permanent harm they caused and then chose to suppress. the cover up did have malicious intent, and shame on these three for all eternity. CAA never sent anyone to Mexico. i hope they look after other clients more respectfully if they in fact want to do the job for which they take money with any decency.

“I heard her trepidation,” he said. “And despite that, we had set up everything in this shot, I listened to it.”

He continued, “Anyone who knows Uma knows that going into her trailer, and screaming at her to do something is not the way to get her to do something. That’s a bad tactic and I’d been shooting the movie with her for an entire year by this time. I would never react to her this way.”

Tarantino said he drove down the road before Thurman did, but that he failed to drive down it in the opposite direction as well, which led him to miss a hidden S-curve that caused the actress to lose control of the vehicle while cameras rolled.

“As a director, you learn things and sometimes you learn through horrendous mistakes,” Tarantino said. “That was one of my most horrendous mistakes, that I didn’t take the time to run the road, one more time, just to see what I would see.”

“And she crashed,” he continued. “After the crash, when Uma went to the hospital, I was feeling in total anguish at what had happened.”
