#MovieTrivia: Michael Jai White featured in 2004’s 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' where he fought (and lost to) David Carradine as Bill in a flashback scene from the bride, which was then cut from the film for pacing reasons. But it can be seen as a special feature on the DVD.

#TriviaTuesday: Brad Pitt’s hand injury in 1995’s 'Se7en' was not cosmetic and required surgery when he fell and put his arm through a car windshield during the John Doe chase scene, with David Fincher then working it into a script where the character got injured anyway.
