[quote]I always thought it was spelled Pai Mei too. Thats the way QT spelt it in the script. Ive been pronouncing it “PIE MAY”. [/quote]
I don’t know the reason why Tarantino spelled it that way, but any Martial Arts historian will tell you it’s spelled Pak Mei or Bai Mei.
[quote]As far as QT dubbing the voice. Theres really no telling what its going to sound like until we hear it. I’m sure QT wants to get it exactly right. Thats one of the most important chapters in the film. I dont think he’d even do it if he thought it jeopardized the film. I dont think its going to be played for comedic effects either. Its simply going to be a serious acting job dubbed over Gordon Lius voice until it calls for some comedy.[/quote]
I hope you’re right. In my opinion this is the most important chapter in Vol.2 that needs to come off near perfect. Quentin fucks this chapter up and the rest of the film won’t be worth it for me. I’ll just walk out. ÂÂ
