Vivica A. Fox is giving fans more “Kill Bill” — but this time, in SZA‘s new music video. The actor appears as SZA’s driver in the new Christian Breslauer-directed visual for the second track off of her chart-topping album “SOS.”
The nearly five-minute video pulls inspiration from Quentin Tarantino’s martial arts movies, which debuted across two volumes in 2003 and 2004. Fox starred in “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “2” as Vernita Green/Jeanie Bell/Copperhead, and channels her character for a brief cameo in the new video, which includes several action-packed nods to the films.
The opening scene references Budd’s trailer and the video continues with replicas of some of the film’s most recognizable moments, including O-Ren’s anime compilation and the film’s fight at the House of the Blue Leaves with the Crazy 88. As the video closes, the music switches to another“SOS” favorite, the sultry “Seek & Destroy.” (There is also a short clip of “Nobody Gets Me” that plays at the start.)
The “Kill Bill” video was initially released early Tuesday afternoon — only to be pulled a few moments later — and was re-uploaded again in the following hour. “Lmao it’s going back up shortly,” SZA tweeted. “Just everyone act surprised when it does please.”
