She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on The Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as The Bride deserved hers. I might even shoot a couple of scenes for it now so I can get the actresses while they're this age. Serena Williams could play Nikki's mom. But I expect Vivica Fox is a lock. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill :

She backhands one dude in super slo-mo with pretty much that expression while her dreds fly every which way. FUCK, can't find that clip on YouTube.
