Him and Scorsese both. I've often looked up movies I'd just seen on Wikipedia only to find out that Scorsese helped digitalize/preserve it or Tarantino championed it. They're serious about films, it's wonderful.

@@Kareragirl If it is incredible there are several videos and interviews of them talking about their favorite movies and you can see that they really not only direct for money but also for the love they have for the cinema, when they talk about their influences or movies that they like they get so excited Like a 9 year old boy opening a gift that Santa Claus brought him. It's just amazing that there are people like that who really love their work and Scorsese and Tarantino are movie buffs with capital letters.

Quentin imparted his knowledge of Hong Kong films that even Hongkongers (At the time) are hard to appreciate. Mainstream Hong Kong cinema in the late 80s and early 90s centered around big name actors and genre specific movies like the Mo Lei Tau comedy of Stephen Chow which always pour in big box office money to the studio. Or comedy action of Jackie Chan , and of course the ubiquitous cinema of Andy Lau

Just here to be the 400th comment and say that I was surprised that Quentin reviewed this movie so intensively (i assume) purely for our entertainment. Very informed and interesting review that made me like him way more as a person (and both see and respect him as a knowledgeable talking head in cinema) than watching any of his movies ever has. Very surprised also with how entertaining his manner of speech is and how witty, intelligent and an overall culturally aware and knowledgeable he sounds. I assumed him to be way more of a self assured pompous prick SPF from Portugal :)
