So here's the deal, back in 1992 I saw this movie. Writen and directed by this guy who was known as a writer around Hollywood. This movie was to launch his career, and make him one of the great film directors of our time if not film history. This is my tribute to him, I hope I don't disappoint.
The movie isReservoir Dogs. A low budget film made for about $1.6 million and financed entirely by the video company LIVE. It was the first time a video company would finance an entire film.
He was born Quentin Jerome Tarantino in Knoxville, Tennesse on March 27, 1963. Raised by his mother Connie Zastoupil in Los Angeles, he would be molded into one of Hollywood's best directors aswell as screenwriters.
A good exsample of the Quentin Tarantino style of writing is the exchange between Christopher Walken, who plays a Sicilian mobster, and Denis Hopper, the father of the film's hero, in the movie True Romance.
In this scene Walken's character is trying to find out where Christian Slater, the film's hero, and Patricia Arkette, his newlywed wife, are hiding out. The bad guys have beaten Hopper up and he has come to realize no matter what he tells them he is going to die. So he begins telling them how Sicilians have black blood coarsing thru their veins(although he doesn't use the word black). Of coarse they don't like what they have just been told and kill him on the spot. Maybe he did it to get a quick death, don't know. But the scene is pure Quentin.
In case you just woke up from a twenty year sleep, VanWinkle. Reservoir Dogs was not his only film, check out his other credits and the Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction pages. Don't forget to sign the guest book.
When Quentin was 15 yrs.old he was busted for shoplifting at K-mart. He was stealing an Elmore Leonard book, this might be what inspired his title for the movie Pulp Fiction. He has a fondness for this style of writings.
The Elvis character in True Romance was inspired by his apperance on The Golden Girls. He was all so a regular on All-American Girl, where he played Margaret Cho's boyfriend.
The ending of True Romance is not the ending Quentin had writen for it. In his original screenplay Christian Slater's Character dies. The film makers wanted a happy ending for it. I think it is kind of weak myself.
Tarantino was dating Grace Lovelace at the time of Pulp Fiction also the name on Zed's motorcycle. The Oscar for Pulp fiction was won on his birthday, March 27, 1995 (Happy Birthday!). The movie Deliverence was the inspiration for the gimp scene in Pulp Fiction. It scared him as a child when he saw it for the first time.
Quentin bought the rights to three of Elmore Leonard's novels to turn into movies, one of them became the film Jackie Brown. His movie company's name A Band Apart comes from his favorite Godard film, Bande à part.
Mr. Blue was added to Reservoir Dogs so Quentin would have a part in it. He bogarded some of Mr. Pink's lines for himself.
The car used in the Reservoir Dogs (the scene with the cop in the trunk) was Micheal Madsen's personal car, it is now stored in his sister's garage in Wisconsin. The car Travolta drives in Pulp Fiction, the red Chevy Malibu, is Quentin's actual car. It is kept in storage well he drives his Geo Metro(no joking folks).
