Not only actors can get hurt in the making of difficult scenes. In a scene where the actress Chiaki Kuriyama was working with her ball and chain, she accidentally hit the producer, Quentin Tarantino, on the head, as he stood next to the camera she was acting towards.
Also, the team maintained the good humor, adding a finish take by turning to the camera, waving, and saying “Hello, Sally!”, as a thoughtful gesture for their editor Sally Menke. Apparently, this and other kinds of sweet pranks for Sally, have actually been common on Quentin Tarantino productions.
"popping some bicep tendons out of their sockets"
Somebody needs a physiology lesson.
umm......maybe an anatomy lesson too?
I can forgive a little anatomy confusion... but tendons are attached to the joints, and it's not hard to imagine them tearing near the joint.
