Pai Mei is a fictional character popularized in the west in Kill Bill (2004), a film by Quentin Tarantino. The character is based on Bak Mei, a historical martial artist from China.

Pai Mei (as played by Gordon Liu) is presented as the master who taught Beatrix Kiddo, Bill, and Elle Driver; ironically, Gordon Liu previously starred as the hero fighting Pai Mei in Hung wen tin san po pai lien chiao (1980). Kill Bill 's version of Pai Mei is significantly less villainous than the one in the other movies, where the character is portrayed as ruthless and traitorous to his country. It should however be noted that he is still a ruthless, foul-tempered and brutal individual with little compassion or respect for human life.
