London: Uma Thurman is eager to start working on the next Kill Bill movie because she wants to revive the intense samurai training she endured for the first two instalments.The actress, who played The Bride, a killer assassin, in the first two instalments of Quentin Tarantino`s action franchise, spent months mastering her martial arts skills with professional stuntmasters for the role.
And Thurman says she can’t wait to kick off the gruelling sessions for the third time – because it had pushed her into the best shape of her life.
"They train you so hard that when you come to shooting, it`s actually quite comfortable. It`s not the same as real kung-fu, and I could not defend myself now if someone picked a fight! It was a transforming experience; I was part of a fight team for almost nine months, and that changed my life,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Britain`s Empire magazine.
“They taught me to work harder than I had ever done before, physically, and it`s an incredible thing to discover that your breaking point is actually much higher than you think. It`s a great gift.
"It did change my life back then. Not that I`m changed still; I`m back to being the bum that I was! But I do miss it, and hopefully I`ll get back on the stick one day.
“I`d never pushed myself to those extremes before. It was like surviving a kind of war; it felt like basic training in Vietnam. It was an emotional and physical thing - the envelope of the work sprawled and grew and changed, almost out of control," she added.
