Tarantino and Uma Thurman we’re talking about the Kill Bill story while making this movie.

[@helifanodobezanozi7689]

The dialog about the pilot "Fox Force Five" basically inspired "Kill Bill." Umma talked Tarantino into making it a real film(s).

[@pigpiggypigbigpig681]

Wait. Wasn't Kill Bill based after the graphic novel The Bride?

[@helifanodobezanozi7689]

@@pigpiggypigbigpig681 Nope. Tarantino and Thurman say they created the story themselves. Who wrote the graphic novel you're referring to?

[@pigpiggypigbigpig681]

@@helifanodobezanozi7689 I have no idea where I got that thought from. You’re right, it was Q & U.

Still a great reaction to my favorite movie, even a year later. And in case you were wondering, yes, they do sell those wallets, I carry one to this day. It's my BMF lol. Good reaction.

Mayonainese is basically mixed and shaken oil, egg yolk, and a little lemon or vinegar. Why wouldn't it go just fine with french fries?

[@cshepard09]

Because mayonnaise isn’t a particularly good flavor, it’s mostly used in America as a condiment to contrast with dry foods (sandwiches, burgers, etc).. I prefer my fries without any condiments tbh

[@foljs5858]

@@cshepard09 whatever. Mayonnaise is not an American thing. Don't know how they use it in america, or what cheapo mayonnaise they use. It's however a European thing.

[@smittybenzo4693]

To paraphrase what Tarantino said about his his movies not being in order, particularly Pulp Fiction. He said he likes to give you the answer first and then the question.

[@flibber123]

I think the point of the watch scene, besides being absurdly funny, is that Butch was taught something about honor. Walken's character even says something like "when two men are held prisoner". So later, when Butch can easily leave, his choice to go back makes sense. He winds up in that pawn shop because he went back for the watch. That watch story ties it all together. The pawn shop scene itself is inspired by a scene in a movie called Deliverance. Tarantino does like borrowing ideas from other movies. It doesn't bother me because I think he does use what he borrows in his own way, so it's not just stealing ideas.

[@thequietrevolution3404]

The guy whom Vega accidentally shoots in the face is *Phil Lamarr.* Among many others, he's the voice for *Hermes (Futurama), John Stewart (Green Lantern) and Samurai Jack.*

[@MarcosElMalo2]

I met Phil in the mid 80s. I was dating a gal who was a cocktail waitress at the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip, and sometimes I’d arrive a few hours early to pick her up, so I saw a lot stand up comics, and I started hanging out with some “regulars” that came every night. Anyway, Phil performed at some of the open mics and I got to make idle chit chat with him. He was just a nice guy, unpretentious. Even though I didn’t know him well, I saw him on Mad TV a few years later, and I felt really happy for him. He was clearly a funny guy, but you could tell that stand up didn’t suit him, and I guess sketch comedy did. I always feel cheered to see him on the screen because I like it when the good guys find success in a business full of jerks.

[@pigpiggypigbigpig681]

Next Quentin Tarantino movie should be Reservoir Dogs.

[@gregall2178]

A little trivia... In Jack Rabbit's... Mia asks "can you roll me one of those, cowboy?" Vincent replies "you can have this one, cowgirl" Travolta was in Urban Cowboy Thurman was in Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

[@bronzewand]

French fries with mayo is great... but garlic mayo is a whole different level

[@danthony47]

I think Tarantino's best dialogue is in Jackie Brown (1997). If you love dialogue, I recommend checking that movie out.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

25:43 Vincent's always in the bathroom because constipation is a side effect of Heroin use.

[@johnbender1364]

Zed was the villian in the movie called 'The' Mask, where-as the drug dealer, was the main character in the movie called Mask. I think the Fox Force Five pilot is also a hint toward Kill Bill along with the sword from the pawn shop.

[@pigpiggypigbigpig681]

He was also Redfoot in the Usual Suspects.

[@Ycekhold]

Oh, shit! I didn't realize that. I've seen Mask. Good movie. So, that's Rocky Dennis' actor? Neat!

[@kaironarnold]

This film is about 'second chances'.... and Bruce Willis was the guy who keyed Travolta's car, for insulting him at the bar. Jackson was nominated for an Oscar...most felt he should have won.

[@HULLGRAFFITI]

This and Trainspotting are the 2 greatest films of the 90's...

[@jl721ATcairn]

2:57 Bruce Willis basically got this movie made. He had seen Reservoir Dogs, called up his agent and said "Whatever this guy's next movie is, I want to be involved." And because Bruce Willis was involved, that made it very easy to get all the other "names" involved, which made it very easy to pre-sell the movie overseas. They did about $18 million in pre-sales, and gave Tarantino $6 million to make the movie, so it had already made a profit before they ever shot one frame.

[@moonlitegram]

31:10 & 32:41 - I think this has a lot to do with the central theme of the film. Throughout the film, Tarantino is basically presenting various moral, ethical, and social codes of behavior, but all within the context of this underbelly crime world. In essentially every scene we get some kind of look into one of these and how they work in this world. And one of the most paramount examples of this is Jules reaction to not getting hit by any of the rounds when the guy jumps out of the bathroom. Jules sees this as some kind of sign and religious awakening in his life and decides to leave the life. And we end the film on Jules revisiting that passage from Ezekiel he always quotes and telling Tim Roth that he's trying real hard to be the shepherd. In comparison, Vince doesn't see any meaning behind that moment where they survive being shot at and as a result he winds up staying in the business. Which is why he ends up going to Butch's apartment with Marcellus, and why he's there to get shot by Butch when he comes out of the bathroom. So Tarantino is giving us a clear comparison between Jules and Vince and the ultimate consequences that beset them based on their different reactions to that event. But if Tarantino had presented the movie in the chronological order of the plot, we don't really get the same kind of cohesive emphasis on this theme. Jules's monologue about the Ezekial passage and how he's trying really hard to change is one of the pillar scenes of the film. At no other point in the film is the theme more heavily stated than here. But if the film had gone in chronological order, this would have happened more towards the beginning of the film. And then everything that happened with Butch and Vince and Mia all would have followed it, and the film would have just ended with Butch driving away with Fabienne. So by ordering the plot as he did in this film, Tarantino is able to outline the central theme in a much more dramatic and meaningful way. He gives you all sorts of glimpses into how ethical codes exist in this crime world and then gives us the most dramatic examination of morals at the end in the confrontation between Samuel L Jakson and Tim Roth at the diner.

[@epicsam2000]

If I could give you another thumbs up I would

[@lanolinlight]

Belated 👏👏👏. QT is as much of a stealthy moralist filmmaker as the Coen brothers. These reactors would probably have understood the film better if they chattered less over the dialogue and silences. This film (like most 20th century cinema) was designed for the dark and quiet of the movie theater.

[@laapache1]

the movie was set in the 80s

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

Jules got out Vince got shot by Butch Butch got out And Marcellus is gonna get his vengeance on Zed.

[@kxd2591]

They do a few classic 60's dance moves at the Jackrabbit. The Swim, the Pony, the Twist, and probably a few more that I never heard about.

[@stormywaters1565]

Reservoir Dogs is probably my favorite of his. Fantastic movie.

[@SlickAstley_TV]

Opiates have a constipating effect, hence why Vincent is always on the toilet. Also, the actor who played the manager during the robbery who says he's "just a coffee shop..." is credited as "Coffee Shop" in the end credits

[@Col_Fragg]

Or maybe he's just going to the bathroom? The first time he goes to the bathroom is to take a piss. AFTER dinner. If he had gone to the bathroom like 8 or 9 times, you might be on to something but I think you are falling into the trap of thinking EVERYTHING is significant. He goes to the bathroom because it's necessary to get him out of the room for the sake of the story.

[@SlickAstley_TV]

@@Col_Fragg Or maybe opiates literally cause constipation and Vince spent a significant of time sitting his ass on a toilet? Or do you think Tarantino and Avery were actually ignorant of the effects of drug use and just made Vega a heroin addict who spent copious time on the shitter coincidentally? I think you're falling into the trap of thinking I'm trying to make this something significant when it's just a fun fact that's pretty basic and obvious if you know about the subject matter

[@xXBlackIce7Xx]

@@Col_Fragg maybe your brain is just too small, we will never know

[@zenhaelcero8481]

Also, I've been told that heroin can cause muscle twitches/spasms, accounting for why he accidentally shot Marvin in the face.

Very cool reaction! Love you guys! Definitely hit his first movie (Reservoir Dogs) and his next (third) movie (Jackie Brown)! You're going to like both of those! "Inglorious Basterds" also! But DEFINITELY his first three movies are, in my opinion, his best. I particularly love "Jackie Brown".

The guy who plays Marcellus Wallace was also in The Fifth Element as well as the Dawn Of The Dead remake. Also, the guy who plays Marvin is also the guy who voices Dracula in Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Sig in the Jak & Daxter games, Wilt in Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack, Static Shock, Osmosis Jones, the black Green Lantern in Justice League, the black guy weather forecast IT'S GON RAIN guy in Family Guy, Hermes Conrad in Futurama, Bolbi in Jimmy Neutron, tons of voices in Kim Possible and Star Wars The Old Republic, he has a blink and you'll miss it cameo in Step Brothers. Dude is in everything. The restaurant robber, Ringo, is played by Tim Roth who was Mr Orange in Reservoir Dogs as well as Abomination in the live action Incredible Hulk movie, and he was Guildenstern in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead.

In Kill Bill, the brother pawns his sword. In this movie, Butch finds it.

[@dennydowling2169]

Except that Bill's brother (Bud) did not pawn the sword. That was just something he told Bill. We know this because 'The Bride' finds it during the fight in Bud's trailer and points it out to Elle, her opponent, saying "I guess that makes him a liar now, don't it?".

Kids these days... They also need to react to "The Blues Brothers," specifically the scene with Ray Charles.

[@gibbletronic5139]

Though "Reservoir Dogs" is Quentin Tarantino's first film and very good, "Jackie Brown" is even more awesome. You should also check out "True Romance" and "Curdled." He wrote the former and produced the latter. I would call "True Romance" the love story that Tarantino wrote, and "Curdled" is the love story that he wished he wrote, which stars Angela Jones, the taxi driver who drove Butch from the fight in Pulp Fiction. Enjoy!

2 little known facts that ended up on the cutting room floor. Vince and Mia did not win the contest, they stole the trophy on the way out. The other thing is Marvin was working for Marcellus and was a plant into that group, which is why they didnt kill him in the apartment and was an even bigger mistake shooting him in the face. And Vincent didnt leave his gun outside in Butch's apartment. It was Marcellus' gun he left to go get donuts.

[@Ceractucus]

Vincent was always in the bathroom because heroin users often have severe constipation. Heroin and being an a-hole to Butch when they first met and ignoring the sign of God is why he died. Butch's chance encounter with Marcellus when he tries to run him over is not a chance meeting. Those doughnuts he had were for Vincent.
