Though she was initially hired as Thurman's "crash and smash" double, the stunt team realised Bell would also make an ideal double for fight scenes and she was trained accordingly. Bell had to learn to fight in the wushu style. Near the end of filming for "", she injured her ribs and the ligaments in her wrist while simulating being thrown backwards by a shotgun blast. Bell required surgery and spent several months recuperating. After production finished on "Kill Bill", she received "The Bells" sign which hung outside the home of the Vernita Green character. She later gave it to her parents. After both "Kill Bill" movies, she did stunt work for the movie "Catwoman", in which she performed high falls and acted as a double for Sharon Stone.
