“I thought I broke my back,” she recalled.
“I thought I was paralyzed.”
The injury led Yeoh to consider quitting stunt work, and then Tarantino appeared in Hong Kong for a screening of Pulp Fiction (1994) and changed her mind.
“I must say, Quentin, he’s persistent,” she said.
She eventually agreed to see him but reluctantly, and only gave him five minutes.
“Suddenly we became animated,” Yeoh recalled.
“So then I thought, ‘Maybe I’m not ready to give up on this.'”
Lo and behold, just a couple of years later she broke into her first English speaking role and signed on for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).
If Tarantino hadn’t pestered Yeoh that evening, we might never have had the joy of watching her in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Imagine that.
