This is one of the few foreign-language films released under its original title, not translated into English.
Actors were kept indoors during the whole shooting to keep them untanned, as would be the case if the story were real. The film was shot in sequence so that beard growth was natural. A couple of scenes had to be re-shot, requiring false beards.
When the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad arrive at the wedding chapel in the beginning of "Kill Bill: Vol 1 and kill The Bride and everyone else, The Bride survives and vows to get revenge. She goes after all of them. In what order did they die at the hands or as a result of The Bride a.k.a. Black Mamba which actually takes place in Kill Bill: Vol 2? Here are their code names. a. Sidewinder  b. Cottonmouth  c. California Mountain Snake d.  Snake Charmer e. Copperhead
I could partly name which characters went in which order, but I can't match any of them to their code-names, except for the Bride whom you already named. I remember one objecting because SHE wanted to be "Black Mamba" instead.
Let me know if you want me to try to name them- but I'd have to be flexible in HOW I named them, since I don't remember all their names.
Before Bill, Daryl Hannah's character with the eye patch was blinded- but allowed to live.
Before that, Bill's brother Bud was killed- but not by The Bride. (He actually had gotten the drop on her and buried her alive.)
Â
In Volume One, the African-American chick who had WANTED to be Black Mamba was first, IIRC. Second was Lucy Liu's character in the final scene. (After the big fight scenes with the Crazy 88 and so on, music by The 5678's.)
So, after her was The Bride almost dying, Bud dying, the eye patch chick as good as dying, and finally Bill himself.
All of them, actually, though I think you've used the cheekbones clue before. Interestingly, Ryan Reynolds is a lot happier with his work in GL than he had been.
It's too bad the movie didn't do as well as hoped. I'd have liked to see the foreshadowed evil Sinestro sequel.
The source material for this movie was credited to Isaac Asimov, but in fact his "book" was a collection of short essays, one of them based on the works of Earl and Otto Binder ("Eando Binder"). Two TV-movie adaptations of the Binders' story appeared, in 1964 and 1995. (Otto Binder also wrote many comic books in the 60s and 70s and is considered the creator of Supergirl.)
The original title for the film was "Hardwired."
Director Alex Proyas had a difficult time with 20th Century Fox studio head Tom Rothman, who was threatening to remove the film's ending and replace it with "more jokes" just days before the film's premiere. Proyas intended to write a book about his experience making the film, which he describes as trying to run a marathon with the studio constantly throwing chairs in his path, but friends warned him that he'd never work in this town again. Even without the tell-all, this was his last studio film.

Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.

I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Well, there are only 120 permutations...
(Didn't see either KB, so I'd only be guessing randomly).

Either way you want to do it alright by me WordWolf. Actor names or character names are fine.

Last to go was Bill himself.
Before Bill, Daryl Hannah's character with the eye patch was blinded- but allowed to live.
Before that, Bill's brother Bud was killed- but not by The Bride. (He actually had gotten the drop on her and buried her alive.)

BTW, that would have worked better for the Trivia thread.

Yes, I suppose he is George. I figured that WordWolf knew he was right.

I wasn't 100% sure, and I wasn't 100% sure you'd accept that form of answer.Â

-The main actor for the movie (arguably the title role)Â clashed with the director, and was glad the movie performed poorly.
-The director wanted Bradley Cooper for the main actor, but he wasn't available.
- The main actress' line about cheekbones was an ad-lib.
An early version of the script included Pierce Brosnan making a brief appearance as Alan.

Yes. The cheekbones was a giveaway?

It was. I suppose the Asimov references made it easy, but everything else was Will Smith references, which probably also would have been easy. Â
