Still probably Tarantino’s most underrated. It’s so darn good. And De Niro is quietly hysterical.

[@lodey]

Adore this film - maybe top 10, top 20 film all time for me. Love it.

[@scottmoore1614]

It may be Tarantino’s best film, imho.

[@AshLee92490]

This & Death Proof...

[@maximillianosaben]

@@AshLee92490 - When I first saw Death Proof, I couldn't stand a bunch of the women and I thought Stantman Mike saved the movie. But I saw Grindhouse three times in theaters and just needed more time to sit with it. Now I love Death Proof just as much as any other Tarantino movie and could go on for days about why. I always recommend people watch Grindhouse if they can, but if not the extended Death Proof should certainly be watched!

[@lodey]

@@AshLee92490 Yeah Death Proof was the last one I watched and I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as great as it was. Blew me away - no pun intended.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

The chemistry between Grier and Forster is incredible. Even though I was a teenager when I first watched this, I could somehow easily put myself in the shoes of a tired, lovestruck old man simply because of how amazing Grier was and how honestly Forster was able to show those emotions. Tarantino deserves credit for being willing to swim in deeper emotional waters than he was ever comfortable with, before or since. One of the few physical copies of a movie I've bothered holding on to. Soundtrack too.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

The reason Max Cherry is so relatable is because he plays to a hope that every single one of us has for a fresh beginning that could come at any moment, if we just happen to bump into the right person.

[@ghostsquirrel8739]

This movie doesn’t get enough love. An underrated classic.

[@hashtagfilm]

This is hands down Tarantino's BEST film. People found it boring upon release because it wasn't violent heavy, but now that he's showcased every piece of talent that he has, Jackie Brown still pulls through as his best. And I will DIE on this hill

[@AshLee92490]

Same happened with Tarantino "Grindhouse: Death Proof". It bombed because people were expecting another flashy, chaotic Tarantino film, especially with it being his first film after Kill Bill, not understanding the concept of the film and hated how heavy dialogue it was. and that it was a homage to b-rated, low-budget, exploitation movies. I think it's one of those movies that's building a cult following years later. Jackie Brown & Death Proof are two of my favorite Tarantino films...

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I agree 100%. This has been my favorite tarantino movie since i first saw it. This is a perfect movie that only gets better with each viewing. Death Proof is #2

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Deniro's " I'm gonna knock you the fk out" with his fist up to her face is pure gold and always has me dying laughing

[@angelagraves865]

This movie is based on a book by Elmore Leonard. A lot of his books got made into movies, such as Get Shorty and Be Cool (both hilarious), 3:10 To Yuma, Out of Sight, and quite a few others. His book/movie Life of Crime also has the characters of Ordell and Louis but they're played by Mos Def and John Hawkes and are very different from the characters played by Samuel L. Jackson and Robert DeNiro. They're all worth a watch. ✌🏽

[@brettschacht4183]

And Keaton plays the same character in Out of Sight!

[@brandocalrissian3294]

That movie is based off the book "The Switch". It's kind of a prequel to "Rum Punch" (Jackie Brown). I highly suggest it.

[@taztaztaz]

you said it all.. the story, the characters, the acting, the soundtrack… my favorite film of his!

[@yadnoid2]

Mines too!

[@jessharvell1022]

a truly great movie, and one that comes to mean a lot more to you when you hit jackie and max's age, with all the middle-aged regrets, mistakes, and worries you've accumulated over the years. don't get me wrong, i loved this movie when it came out (i was 19), but i identify with the characters now in a way i never could have back then.

[@chefskiss6179]

Speaking of Keaton, he plays the same character in another book-to-film by the same author as well, Elmore Leonard's Out of Sight, a 1998 flick by Steven Soderbergh that also made waves when it came out. I hope you check that one out as well.

[@adamwarlock1]

Yeah that was my first thought after the reactor said we wanted more of him. And then the main character in Jusitified is I think a spin on the same character.

[@jannathompson2262]

The ONLY good Jennifer Lopez movie;)

[@markmcgee2417]

The studio lawyers were trying to shut down Keaton reprising his role based on contract bureaucracy but Tarantino talked them down. He felt that they should just let a cool thing happen.

[@citypopFM]

I've always found this to be an incredibly overlooked film. It's not as flashy as other Tarantino flicks but the acting is on point, the ensemble cast is brilliant, the writing and dialogue is fantastic, and the soundtrack is an absolute killer. I've watched this movie at least 40 times in my life and I enjoy it each and every time. Well done for finding and reacting to it, my friend.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

The fact that it's not as 'flashy' as Tarantino's other movies works in it's favor, imo. It's subtle and allows for some amazing performances from the actors.

[@davidmeir9348]

It's actually my favorite Tarantino movie. It's based on a novel btw. Pam Greer was known in the 70's as the queen of 'blacksploitation' movies with her most famous being Coffy and Foxy Brown. They were violent flicks where she played badass and appeared with very minimal clothing in some scenes for our viewing pleasure. Pam Grier in the 70's was absolutely stunning.

[@Lugnut64052]

She wasn't too shabby in this movie either.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Thanks for the Google facts, my guy, but we could have looked that up ourselves.

[@jannathompson2262]

@@cinemeleon2808 Stop. Be kind. You are what's wrong with the world...Google that 😂

[@davidmeir9348]

@@cinemeleon2808 Pretty sure that google doesn't use the term, 'naked for our viewing pleasure'. That's my own observation and I have no doubt all biological males (you know, men) that aren't soy latte addicted will agree with me that Pam Greer was truly one of the most devastatingly beautiful woman to grace the silver screen. Her face too, she has quite striking facial features, not only magnificent tits and an ass made for love. She's beautiful all around and a smart woman to boost ❤

[@Awhmanitsdanttv]

This is my favorite QT movie. This movie is just pure magic.

[@jpa5038]

I really don't understand why more people don't love this movie. I think it's excellent and it still holds up today.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Because his more violent and more unpredictable movies like pulp fiction overshadow it and when Jackie brown came out it was seen as weak without the Tarantino signature violence but this is based off a book not his original story

[@jpa5038]

@@ACinemafanatic That's doing disservice to the movie. Pulp Fiction being a great movie does not take away from Jackie Brown being a great movie. That's elitist nonsense.

[@emmanuelharris6445]

I think the only real reason why some people hated this Movie is because of how they did Chris Tucker dirty in the beginning of it since he barely stayed in the Movie that long but only a short amount of time from getting killed for some dumb bullshit reason that never made sense even till this very day on why would the Director of the “Jackie Brown” do my boy Chris Tucker wrong like that when he deserved better honestly.

[@orangewarm1]

My favourite Tarrantino movie. You can't hear him in the dialogue and he doesn't appear in it. Exactly how a director should direct.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

You actually hear Q.T. in this. He's the answering machine voice!

[@bryce253]

Jackie making Max coffee - "Aww the milk went bad while I was in jail." Max - "Black is fine." Caped - "Yeah. I bet it is..." 😂😂.... Well played Sir...

[@campeonboxeo84]

Definitely an underrated Tarantino film. He knows how to put together amazing soundtracks for his films. In my own opinion, the reason why Max didn’t go after Jackie even though he feel hard for her. Seeing her for the first time, awakened a part of him to feel so much love for another person. And as much as he wanted to be with her or even go with her, he knew deep down, that him and Jackie were 2 completely opposite ppl and as much as it hurt him to let her go, knowing he probably never see or speak to her again, he knew her living her life as a free spirit was the best thing for her. Robert Forster, I only saw him in only one other film which he was the lead role and that was a horror movie that came in 1980 called Alligator. As you can probably guess, it was about him trying to stop a giant killer alligator living under the streets of Chicago haha The next film you should watch I think you would really enjoy is Dead Presidents (1995)

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Worked at a theater showing Dead Presidents years ago and I can no longer watch it. It's a good 1 but it's so WTF?

[@StephenKozak]

Neat bit of trivia, the black suit she buys in the mall is actually the same suit Uma Thurman (Mia Wallace) wore in Pulp fiction and Daryl Hannah (Elle Driver) wore in Kill Bill vol 2!

[@KaBeeM]

over the last 25 years this is definitely my favorite tarantino movies to rewatch. the characters are written so well, watching this movie is like hanging out with some old friends at this point.

[@bryce253]

Sam Jackson is like a walking quote machine in this movie. One of my fav performances by him. And of course Pam Grier.......one thing...❤.

[@herbertragan5849]

Definitely underrated in its time. It has garnered a big following in recent years.

This was a love letter to the foxy older Pam Grier, plain and simple. This movie is perfect.

Still got my Jackie Brown poster on the wall! Pam Grier *embodied* her character, particularly this scene at 13:00 😂👩🏾‍🦱🎬

BTW: The outfit that Jackie is wearing in the dressing room is the same one Uma wears in Pulp Fiction and Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill Vol. 2.

It's one of the most underrated movies out there. It's an absolutely amazing movie. Watched in the cinema. A film I can ha e on in the background and just chill.

[@KajunMoo70]

Love this movie! Glad to see someone reacting to it.

[@KurticeYZ]

Probably my fav Tarantino film. For its length & chill vibe & good tension & action all in one

[@byron2521]

I agree! This is one of Tarantino's most underrated films. It's one of my favorites too! Tarantino has a thing about taking 70s actors and reviving their careers. He did it in Pulp Fiction when no one had paid attention to John Travolta since he was on Welcome Back Carter in the 70s and Grease in the late 70s, and I think Saturday Night Feaver was in the 1980s? Pam Grier was an action star in the 70s. She played an in a series of so called "black exploitation" films (which really just means low budget) where her character was name Foxy Brown. She would show up now and then later, but her career was pretty much over after the 80s. But yeah, great cast!

[@vandalfinnicus1507]

Don't know if it's a coincidence, but Tucker and "Deebo" were both also in Fifth Element in 1997.

[@brendankoch5077]

Just discovered your channel and I love Jackie brown and stumbled upon your American history X review. Love your work so far

[@orangewarm1]

What's interesting is Keaton plays the same character in Out of Sight (by same author). Great film.

[@dontbstingy3587]

Pam Grier was a huge crush I had after I watched this at 13 years old.

[@dextermcgrubbin]

I'll take this over Pulp Fiction every time. Max & Jackie's story is more compelling. I also appreciate Jackson's more toned down performance.

[@indiansfever11]

My main takeaways from the film was the music. Bobby Womack 110th Street and Brothers Johnson strawberry letter 23 are absolute bangers.

[@Asher8328]

This is one of QT's best movies, hands down. And yet I've heard so many fans of his say they never have seen it. It's a shame.

FANTASTIC! Watching it a second time!

[@rollotomassi6232]

Next for your viewing pleasure a Tarantino written, Tony Scott directed masterpiece "True Romance". You will love the pacing and it has almost every A-List actor in Hollywood in it(most only for the briefest moments).

[@VinciGlassArt]

Always been my favorite Tarantino. Had a much smaller reception by the public and theaters back in the day, so I think that's why its not as highly regarded as Pulp Fiction, which had come out a few years earlier and became huge. I think audiences prefer the higher energy comedy in PF too, though. But I'm so glad you really liked this. I was in my 20s and driving around with this sound track ready to go. Felt like I was a cool muthafucka'! Funny stuff. Anyway, Good review! Thanks.

[@meheuck]

Love the support casting in this. Simone is played by Hattie Winston, who used to be on "THE ELECTRIC COMPANY" with Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno. Sheronda is an early part of Lisa Gay Hamilton before she got on "THE PRACTICE." Nicolet's narc partner is Michael Bowen, who played the vain boyfriend in VALLEY GIRL. And there's a brief cameo by Sid Haig as the judge that sentences Jackie; back in the day when Pam was doing her action movies, Sid usually played some sort of villain that she would beat up.

[@beverett417]

Good reaction youngin!👍👍👏👏 This is my favorite Tarantino movie because of the great cast, including all of the background actors, just so dope, all of it👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 1997 I was 26 years old and I saw this in the theatre twice....

I love the scene after you puts Ordell in the trunk. As soon as the trunk closes, you see the change in his demeanor it’s like night and day. He turns into that guy who is about to kill him.

[@maxducoudray]

Michael Keaton plays this exact same character (literally) in the great crime movie Out of Sight, with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez and Don Cheadle.

[@sevilnatas]

Pam Grier is BRILLIANT. Why is she underutilized in Hollywood? She is a black woman. Hollywood isn't gonna give brilliant black actor a break, especially if they are a woman. Pam Grier embodies the injustice of Hollywood and our culture. Imagine what amazing movies could have been made between her hey day and "Jackie Brown", what a loss. I got to see :"Jackie Brown" in the theater, when it first came out, and I also felt it was, hands down, the best Tarantino movie.

[@jhilal2385]

this is from a book by Elmore Leonard. The movie "Out of Sight" (1998) is based on another Elmore Leonard book and Michael Keaton plays the same character as in "Jackie Brown"

[@kelsosemail]

Pulp Fiction became my favorite movie when I saw it. It remained my favorite Tarantino for years. But Jackie Brown just kept getting better, every time I watched it. True of a lot of Tarantino, but there was something about rewatching this movie. Anyway... a few years ago I became totally comfortable calling Jackie Brown my favorite Tarantino film. Definitely. I LOVE. THIS. FILM.

[@kelsosemail]

You mentioned Tarantino and his fantastic CHARACTERS. Interesting twist here... these are characters originated by the great Elmore Leonard. Of course, QT did his QT thing, and the rest is Jackie Brown. Keaton playing a Keaton character that he's played before. I think I laughed out loud because, FUN FACT, he actually played that same character, ATF guy Ray Nicolette, in Steven Soderbergh's movie Out Of Sight. Not same *kind* of character... same character! And finally... at one point Melanie and Lewis are watching tv, and it looks like a kind of bad, movie-of-the-week with car chases. That's actually Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry... the actual title of a real movie in 1974 that starred... DRUMROLL... Peter Fonda, Bridget (Melanie) Fonda's father.

[@poindexterjones206]

One of my favorite QT films. I love Pam Grier. The entire cast is excellent.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

So glad that you had a chance to see this. It's based on Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard. Grier's character was actually called Jackie Burke, and she was white, but Quentin T wanted her. Check out another Elmore Leonard book turned movie "Out of Sight" with George Clooney and J.Lo, which has a Jackie Brown connection (Not spoiling it, but you'd love it).

[@MagicianNoriginal]

Awesome film! It brought Pam Grier back into the mainstream. After this I think she had a main role in The L Word. Great review Caped.

I don't know who your editor is, dude. But they're the bom*diggity. I haven't seen every release you've had, but so far it's well above par.

One potential plot hole of this...by the 90s didn't most mall departments stores have security cameras?

[@KurticeYZ]

TARATINO revived Robert foresters career from this movie. At the time he was beginning to struggle in his older acting career

[@pablosonic892]

Quentin was only 33 years old when he directed this which shows a real maturity and confidence for a young filmmaker. This was his follow up to Pulp Fiction so this took some balls. To do a two and a half hour meditative piece on an adaptation of E Leonard's Florida noir crime pulp novel Rum Punch, race swap out the main story's white lady hero to black and then cast Pam Grier who he had to fight to make his lead, then focus the story on the dreary dead end days of a lowly past his prime Bailbonds man and the love story between two middle aged people who are long past burn outs or believing in any sort of eleventh hour redemption nor looking for one. Yet I can't take my eyes off these people and hooked from start to finish eavesdropping on their endlessly fascinating conversations and that trademark Quentin Tarantino dialogue that just pops and always sounds all at once heightened realism, authenticity of truth and gritty lyricism of a street poet with the soul of a true crime author on speed.

[@Col_Fragg]

FYI: "Jackie Brown" takes place in the same universe as the film "Out of Sight" starring George Clooney and the "Justified" TV series. All three feature overlapping characters played by the same actors.

[@ZeroOskul]

So people assume Elmore Leonard is racist because when he heard Tarantino was changing the title of hus novel *Rum Punch* to *Jackie Brown* and that his blonde stewardess was going to be a Black character he was upset. But he was only upset for about five minutes because it was his story, but then he realized that a movie based on a book is not the book and he was then fine with everything.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I agree that this is one of his best movies. I think because Dogs and Fiction were so well received and got a lot of praise for being a 'new style' that when he made this just a genuine regular movie with a clever plot people were thinking "where's that unique Tarantino feel?". I like this movie a lot more than some of the others. It's the only Tarantino movie that I've upgraded from DVD to BluRay. lol.

[@ItsAllBallBearings]

The main reason why it it under the radar is it because it is not the usual original story by him. It is based on an Elmore Leonard novel (Rum Punch) and only adapted. That is why it is so different.

[@Floppyearsmomma]

I watched this movie for the first time 3 nights ago. You had the right word "Poise". She is my absolute hero. I want to channel her now! I thought the foot thing dragged on too long. It may have been a wink back to Pulp Fiction between Vinny and Jules's discussion about Marsellus throwing a guy out of a four-story window for giving Mia a foot massage. BTW Forster was nominated for an Academy while Greer wasn't. I think Forster deserved the Oscar nomination, but Greer was snubbed. She gave an outstanding performance.

Saw this in theatres opening day, december 25th. Still one of my favorite Tarantino films.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

Yeah this is a terrific film. Samuel L Jackson I believe said it's his favorite Tarantino movie.

[@AlphaSpaz]

Story based on one of Elmore, Leonard‘s books. Another great movie on one of his books is Out of Sight and in that movie. Keaton actually plays the same character from the Tarantino movie. The Director Soderberg said he actually asked Tarantino if it was OK if he used that character in the movie. Great movie also.

[@markmcgee2417]

So much to talk about this film. First off it is an adaptation of the author Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. In the novel the stewardess is named Jackie Burke. Tarantino had eyed making a film with Pam Grier who he idolized from her performance as Foxy Brown and insisted on renaming the character to Jackie Brown because he knew he was casting Pam for the part. Also he approached Michael Keaton for the role of F.B.I. agent Ray Nicolette. Keaton initially turned down the role feeling he couldn't play this character. Tarantino persisted and took him out for Jager shots and Keaton woke up telling his agent he had accepted the part. It doesn't end there however as a year later Steven Soderbergh was adapting Elmore Leanard's book Out of Sight into a film and Keaton wished to reprise his role in that film. It got sticky because Universal was distributing Out of Sight albeit with Danny DeVito as a producer who also was a producer for Pulp Fiction. Universal was on board but Miramax who produced Jackie Brown was not being that they legally owned Ray Nicolette as portrayed by Keaton. Tarantino stepped in and convinced them to "just let another movie do a cool thing" and so Keaton appeared as Nicolette in an uncredited cameo as the same character he played in Jackie Brown. I would also suggest everyone check out "Life of Crime" based on Elmore Leonard's novel The Switch which also has characters from Rum Punch/Jackie Brown including Odell as portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in Jackie Brown but with different casting. :)

[@mattlawrence1932]

The best part of this film other than Pam & the entire soundtrack & also the quiet but humourous Robert De Niro is the fact that the amount of money is enough to seem realistic & also enough to go through all the troubles over getting especially in 1997 thats like 1.5 million today

[@kristahartmann6712]

[@elakba]

My favorite by Bobby Womack. "Across 110th Street" is the title track of a movie by and with Anthony Quinn featuring East Harlem before any gentrification. More like a TV production, but still very good. And of course a classic mob flick.

[@tomantush4867]

Usually overlooked in the discussion of this movie is the credit due the the writer of the novel on which it is based. Tarantino did a masterful job adapting the great Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch. He had wonderful material to work with. The Paul Newman classic Hombre is another Leonard adaptation.

[@melanienolley]
