The 'Grindhouse' star - who is married to Goldie Hawn - believed he was about to have his first kiss when a girl seductively beckoned him, but instead she freaked him out by slashing him across the chest with a knife hidden in her hair.
Kurt told Men's Journal magazine: "I was in third grade, and I noticed this really hot chick hanging out under the bridge with her friend.
"She was probably 13, and there was this vibe about her. She says, 'Hey, come here.' I think I'm going to get my first kiss.
"She lifts my shirt, then all of a sudden reaches into her bee hive, pulls out a penknife, and drags it about six inches across my stomach. It starts to bleed, and they haul ass. I was, like, 'What?' "
The 56-year-old is currently starring in 'Grindhouse' - the much hyped double-feature directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.
But after the film - which is over three hours long - only took $11.6 million at the box office in its opening weekend, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is considering re-releasing both films - 'Death Proof' and 'Planet Terror' - separately.
He told the New York Post newspaper: "I don't think people understood what we were doing.
"The audience didn't get the idea that it is two movies for the price of one. I don't understand the math, but I want to accommodate the audience.
"People are put off by the length."
