True Romance (1993) Reaction & Review! FIRST TIME WATCHING!! 

Loved this film. Gary Oldman's performance was nuts.

The scene between Walken and Hopper is so classic. That's Val Kilmer playing Elvis. The repeated music track was also used in 1973s Badlands starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek.

According to Donna Scott, this was Tony's favorite film he ever did. Went to a showing of this at Hollywood Forever Cemetery shortly after Tony died and Donna spoke after. Such a great night.

As per usual, you've delivered another great reaction and review! True Romance is WAY underappreciated, really glad you enjoyed it! Natural Born Killers is a hell of an experience, you should definitely check it out! The fact that the film is dated only gives it a more interesting critique of modern culture.

I forgot Tony Soprano was in this, it's been so long! What a great scene with Mr. Walken.

QT claimed that the "Sicilian origin story" had been told to him by his friend Big Don (for whom the Sam Jackson character is named). Don was intensely proud of the anecdote when he told it to young Quentin, and prouder still when he saw it in the film.

I been harassing every reactor for years to watch this. YOU DA MAN lol my fave movie

It didn’t matter what story Hopper spun to Walken, he knew he was a dead man when they began torturing a cop. He took the only control of the situation he could by stoking/manipulating Walken to ensure a quick death instead of lengthily torture, then be killed anyway.

"Is this a modern version of Bonnie and Clyde?" It's actually heavily inspired by Terrence Malik's "Badlands" about the Starkweather killing spree.

Quentin Tarantino did write Natural Born Killers. Tarantino tried and failed to shoot his version of NBK as he couldn't find the funding he was looking for, so he ended up selling the script, which eventually made it to Oliver Stone's hands. ... Tarantino later said that after viewing the dailies, he hated the it and supposedly never saw the film when it released. He hated it so much that he requested his name off the revised script and only took credit for creating the story. It sort of similar to Stephen King not liking what Stanley Kubrick did with The Shining. I personally liked Oliver Stone's version but would've loved to see what vision QT had in mind for the film. As a film fan, i'd recommend you react to NBK!!

Shan: "..people are just too sensitive nowadays." Me: *PREACH!* 👏👏👏👏

Great reaction to a great movie. There's a VERY small group of reactors who are actually worth watching and Shan is part of that group with his unique and insightful commentary, and he's even ballsy enough to say "dislike it if you don't".

Christopher Walken/Dennis Hopper scene is one of the greatest scenes in movies history..

Absolutely review Natural Born Killers.

man I miss Tony Scott

Not sure what you're looking for in cinematography, but Tony Scott's films have a very distinctive look. I've heard many people claim that Michael Bay likely got his visual style from Scott. We definitely need more reactions to Tony's earlier works.

"I didn't expect a happy ending!" That wasn't the original ending. Quentin originally envisioned this as a two part story like Kill Bill, except it was about Alabama. Clarence was supposed to die at the end and the second movie was supposed to be about Alabama becoming a crime queen. That ending was shot, (you can see the edit where Clarence dies in the special features section of the Blu ray) but test audiences preferred the happy ending. Quentin later said that in the absence of the second script that he never wrote, that was the correct way to end the story.

Natural Born Killers is an acquired taste (maybe I should say 'challenging' to watch?) I think but I think it's definitely worth seeing at least once. It's very bold and daring, always looking to get the exact opposite reaction of the viewer they should in the context of the scene, and I think the parts you don't like you'll at the very least appreciate. Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Downey Jr's performances in the final act are worth the price of admission I think.

IN MY TOP TEN ALL TIME GOOD FLICKS. YES SIR. A SMORGASBORD OF GOODNESS. PHENOMENAL CAST & PERFORMANCE BY ALL. BRILLIANT WRITING. FANTASTIC DIRECTOR. WALKEN SCENE FOR DESSERT.

Have you seen the (Tarantino written) Robert Rodriguez film "From Dusk Till Dawn" ? Sam Jackson's Ezekial monologue from Pulp Fiction was originally intended to be dialogue for Harvey Keitel's preacher character in that film.

Sonny Chiba - Japanese Karate action star. Most famous for the "Street Fighter" series (no relation to the game). Also appears as the samurai who gives The Bride her sword in Kill Bill. Also, John Wick is super heavy on Sonny Chiba homage.

"River's Edge" and "Blue Velvet" classic Dennis Hopper performances.

What a movie, one of my favorites growing up. Almost every scene is a highlight, but the hotel room fight between Patricia Arquette & James Gandolfini is seared into my brain. Thx for sharing your reactions.

the scene between Hopper and Walken is my favorite movie scene of all time. The intensity of those two was as a good as it gets.

Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walkens seen together is probably the best of all Time. greatest dialogue ever written between two awesome characters and actors

I loved your reaction to this great film, and I'm so glad you watched the right version of it in which Alabama shoots Dimes. In another version someone else shoots him and the effect, in comparison, is a big letdown. I think there's yet another cut of the ending in which Clarence dies. This film is a real treat for me because Tarantino's script is great and Tony Scott interprets it incredibly well as only he could. If you watch more of his films, such as "The Last Boy Scout" and "The Hunger", I think you'll recognize and be more impressed with his distinctive style.

In Tarantino's universe, Patricia Arquette's character Alabama is the former partner to Harvey Keitel's character (Mr. White) in 'Reservoir Dogs'.

Clarence *does* die in QT's script but Scott thought it needed a happy ending. They argued about it, and filmed both, but Tarantino realised that the tone Scott had given the film suited the happy ending better.

I read somewhere a while back that Elvis was Clarence’s alter ego. He was the exact opposite of Clarence. Flashy and confident, meanwhile Clarence went to the movie theater alone.

"Pump Up the Volume" (1990) is a quirky Christian Slater film about HS pirate radio. You'd be the first to react to it as far as I can tell. Samantha Mathis's breakout role.

'Crimson Tide' is a fantastic thriller by Tony Scott.

finally someone reacted to this movie, puzzled me for so long.

Why don't you have more subs? You are one of a select few I can tolerate and actually look forward to. You should be over a million at this point.

Amen to hoping for the current culture loosening up a bit again and realizing that characters in a movie doing or saying something is not an endorsement of that activity or speech but a means of portraying that character and furthering the narrative of the work, be it film or literature.

Happy that you got a chance to watch this film, one of my all-time favorites.

There is a film called Killing Zoe (1993 or 94) directed by Roger Avary (his first directed movie I think), where Tarantino was the executive producer of the film. Roger Avary and Tarantino co-wrote the scripts for both True Romance and Pulp Fiction.

Tony Scott shoots in a specific way. He uses a lot dim lights and shadows. And, and in each of his films, there's always a shot with the characters in front of some window blinds where the shadows of the blinds are reflected to the characters faces. I love it. And, Crimson Tides is one of his best films according to me.

It’s so cool that he recognizes the significance of the main theme song. It really makes the movie.

One of my all-time favorites!! EXCELLENT review! Thank you for the opportunity to get as close as possible to watching it again for the first time! This movie is one of the last true classics.

Tarantino considered the monologue he does before he got killed his best piece of writting until he considered he surpassed it with the truly mesmerizing opening of Inglorious Basterds.

I don't know if the Sopranos was before your time, but James Gandolfini, who played Virgil (the henchman who nearly killed Arquette) and was later Tony Soprano, deserves a shout out.

YES! Finally someone has reacted to this overlooked film. To start with yes, watch "Natural Born Killers" by Oliver Stone which came out a year after this. It has style, writing, soundtrack, casting and performances you'll like led by Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Downey Jr. It's a shame some of these actors didn't get more screen time, seems like a waste of talent. Patricia Arquette is great, love her in David Lynch's "Lost Highway" as well. She was also in an interesting film called "Stigmata"; she was the lead in the long-running TV show "Medium". If you haven't seen "Heathers"(1989) it's worth seeing, it stars Christian Slater and Winona Ryder, a dark comedy about high school. Bronson Pinchot (Elliot) is most famous for playing Balki Bartokomous in the long-running "Perfect Strangers" TV show, it ran for 151 episodes from 1986 to 2006.

there were some people you seem not to have recognized that later went on to television fame. james gandolfoni (the man who beat up alabama) became a superstar playing Tony Soprano in the HBO drama "the sopranos." the actor who played Elliot is Bronson pinchot also played the gallery attendant in Beverly Hills Cop who was always offering axel foley cappuccino. the weird accent he used afforded him a minor hit TV show in the 90s called Perfect Strangers. there were a few others who played minor roles who are solid working actors in film and television. you may want to take a stroll through the cast list on imbd and click on all the actors to see their very extensive resumes, for instance, michael beach, shot in the standoff has a remarkable resume. from memory of this film, I can't even remember if he even spoke in TR. it is a testament to the writer and director (and the casting director) that so many talented actors in this film went on to serious fame. btw, you didn't mention val kilmer, other than his name in the opening credits. he played elvis, which may be why you didn't recognize him. one other point, please stop calling Samuel L. Jackson, "Sam," which you do a lot. you are young and perhaps don't understand how it is to call an african-american man what he does not call himself. it is all the more true in a context where you call all others by their professional names, both their first and last names. it is a slight that has been intentional and prevalent in this culture for hundreds of years as a way to be disrespectful to black people. i'm sure you were not consciously doing it for that reason, but doing it, nonetheless.

In the "Sicilians" scene between Hopper and Walken, Clifford Worley (Hopper) realizes midway through the interrogation that he won't be able to lie his way out of it. If you go back and re-watch the scene you can actually see the point where Hopper indicates that realization, right before he asks for the cigarette after all. Knowing that he can't fool Walken, and that he's going to be killed no matter what happens, he chooses to antagonize the gangster into killing him quickly, before he's forced to give up Clarence & Alabama's location. It's just yet another layer to that brilliant, brilliant scene. Natural Born Killers is absolutely worth checking out. There's also a pretty quirky little movie released in 1995 called "Four Rooms" that you might have missed; it's a series of vignettes centering on events happening in different rooms of a hotel, with the final story written & directed by Tarantino (who also acts in it).

In Inglourious Basterds, "The Bear Jew" is named Donnie Donowitz. In Quentin Tarantino's connected universe he is the grandfather of movie producer, Lee Donowitz in True Romance.

RIP Tony Scott 🖤. The man pretty much invented the look & style of the modern, mainstream studio picture. More Tony: _Crimson Tide_ (Denzel vs Gene Hackman) _The Last Boy Scout_ (Bruce Willis vs an early 90s career downturn) _The Hunger_ (a Goth masterpiece)

Natural Born Killers is an interesting film and worth giving a watch. Although Tarantino hates the final film, and I believe he even tried to get his name out of the credits before it was released.

Val Kilmer as Elvis has my favorite line: "2 in the back of the head. Put him down like a dog. Cops'll throw a party man" Kilmer's delivery is always elite

This is my favourite movie of all time and still is since the first time I saw it back in 1994.great reaction.

The dad giving the Sicilians lip reminds me of a quote from Max Payne: "He had a baseball bat and I was tied to a chair. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."

"Romance", as it's defined in literature (one might say it's "true" meaning), doesn't necessarily have anything to do with love. It's basically used to describe the "ultimate underdog" story. An unlikely hero overcoming the most insurmountable of obstacles, or receiving the grandest and most unexpected of good forture, as in the archetypal "romance" where the richest, most handsome prince falls in love with the lowly peasant girl (I remember learning this in high shool but it wasn't until I read "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King years later that I remembered). If you look at Clarence as the protagonsit, he not only marries a beautiful call girl after knowing her for one day, but it actually works out. He walks into Drexl's place by himself, states his case, then kills him and walks out. And in the end, literally agaist all odds, Clarence and Alabama survive, escape (from both the mob and the police) with the money, and true love conquers all, hence; "true romance". I still can't quite wrap my mind around the claim that Tarantino isn't the certifiable genius that he is. NATURAL BORN KILLERS is DEFINITELY worth checking out just for the fact that it's a cult classic and a cultural icon if nothing else. Easily one of the most controversial films ever made (for its time I'd put it right up there with OLDBOY). I happen to think it's also a great movie, though not everyone agrees (including the guy who originally wrote it). I know you like to go in as blind as possible so I won't say anything else, but PLEASE react to that.

Shan, if you do watch Natural Born killers, do not, I repeat DO NOT go into it expecting a Quinten Tarantino film. Now there are certain echo's of QT in the film, such as a cold open and eccentric characters, but nothing of QT's signature style remains in the movie. That said NBK is still a somewhat tough recommendation despite being in many ways a masterpiece. On one hand I think any film buff should see it at least once. It is without question one of the most visually stunning films of the 1990s, and absolute master class in impressionistic filmmaking. It's use of color and black and white cinematography, it's constantly shifting camera angles and film stocks, surrealistic lighting, and mixture of live action and anime in certain scenes are amazing to behold. However, despite the visual aesthetic NBK is still a very hard film to watch. Oliver Stone's point blank attack on the glorification of violence in media is designed to repulse and offend the viewer. Brutal murders shown with "Loony Tunes" sound effects, a scene suggesting child rape being presented with a sitcom laugh-track is just a few examples of the way Stone provokes the audience. Plus the sheer amount of violence and disturbing images in the film can be off-putting to some. That said if you do watch the film I recommend getting the directors cut, it's over the top surrealism in some of the more violent scenes actually makes the satire more evident and therefore a little more easier to watch.

The Last Boy Scout I believe was another Scott movie. I think underrated as well. It’s definitely an early 90’s flick! Great review/reaction to another underrated movie! Peace sir!

Quentin Tarantino wrote both True Romance and the story that Natural Born Killers was based on. Tarantino wrote a screenplay for a road movie about a female bank robber who steals the car of a nerdy businessman type and kidnaps him, which has them traveling across the country and getting into one crazy situation after another while also falling in love. This eventually became the basis for True Romance. Oliver Stone adapted other elements of the screenplay into Natural Born Killers, but his movie deviated so far from Quentin's original story that Quentin disowned the screenplay and the movie.

True Romance is a fantastic flick. Still one of my top favourites all these years later. Scene between Walken and Hopper is hands down one of the greatest in cinema.

Tony Scott filmed violence very well.Regarding the happy ending, there is another version where the character of Christian Slater dies from that bullet in the eye and Alabama flees alone from that hotel and it is a dramatic ending. Go for Natural Born Killers, it is a crazy audiovisual experience that you must live at least once in your life, excellently directed by Oliver Stone, another great director of the 90s without a doubt.

Dennis Hoffman and Christopher Walken scene is absolutely pure gold. It's my all-time favorite part of the whole movie😁

Couple fun facts. First, in the QT universe, Lee Donowitz, war film producer, is the son of Donny Donowitz, The Bear Jew Nazi Hunter from Inglorious Basterds. Second, Alabama’s son, Elvis, is her real life son, Enzo. Crazy kid…used to party with him in LA.

This is an absolute favorite of mine and I am really glad you enjoyed True Romance as much as you do . Much appreciation to your channel and Thank you

My favorite Tarantino script, and project. If you want to see Dennis Hopper-Easy Rider. Pitt was a young, but well-known actor at the time. This movie has all these great actors in it because the script was that good. It caught the wind in Hollywood and everyone wanted to be a part of it. Dick Ritchie was bad, but he got the job because Lee Donawitz heard from Elliott that he was good, and got him the job. He remembered Dick’s name at the and said he heard his he was “quite gifted”.

"Hans Zimmer is so cool!" One of the most ironic comments ever, considering the song playing is called You're So Cool.

Fun fact: The producer Donnowitz in this movie is the grandson of Donnie Donnowitz (the bear jew) from Inglorious Basterds.

You said she was the one that rescued him at the end, but she really rescued him when she sat in the seat at the movie theater.

For more of Gary Oldman's early roles check out Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), one of my favorite movies ever, and Gary Oldman is my number 1 Dracula hands down.

Patricia Arquette was so hot in the '90s :) 6:50 And that is why he was so good with a shotgun in Leon. ;) 13:04 That is the most memorable scene in the movie. 30:34 I really hope that day comes soon, so much is already lost.

My favorite movie!! Gary Oldman was so awesome!! He said it was one of his favorite roles.

Natural Born Killers is definitely worth a review on this channel. Without spoiling anything, I think that one and True Romance have some similarities, including eccentric characters, a morphed version of a romance, brutal violence and language, and so forth.

Quentin Tarantino did indeed sell the True Romance script to Warner Bros. so he could finance Reservoir Dogs. True Romance was Quentin's first screenplay and also his most personal screenplay, but he admitted that by the time he'd written Reservoir Dogs he lost interest in directing True Romance, so he was willing to let Tony Scott direct it. Ironically, Reservoir Dogs was originally going to be a segment for Pulp Fiction until Tarantino expanded it into a feature film. To his credit, Tony Scott didn't change anything about Tarantino's True Romance script other than the ending, where Clarence lives and he and Alabama ride off together, as Scott felt that Tarantino's ending where Clarence dies was undeserving of the characters.

Dude… you’Re hitting all my favorite films. I love this film so much just the bits that you showed had me teary eyed. Patricia Arquette is incredible and their chemistry is perfection. You have to watch it now with Quintin Tarantino’s voice over commentary it is almost a biopic of his early career, its super fascinating. Love your enthusiasm for film, keep the great posts coming.

I have always loved Christian Slater, and Gary Oldman, so that scene when their characters meet is like heaven to me. :D

Oh yeah Shan... I've enjoyed your film reactions since first subscribing (editing/audio/video, + facial expressions 🤗😏)... So happy u did this 1! Can't believe I included many of the best quotes & scenes uncut... Bravo! More, pleeezz

Saul Rubinek is so great. His appearance on Star Trek TNG is awesome and it's hilarious every time I see him in something else.

You picked another favorite. I watch it once every couple of years. The one actor I was surprised you didn't react to was James Gandolfini in the hotel fight she ends up winning. I think of him as a pretty big star but maybe not. I do think he's an awesome actor.

Every time I see Christian Slater, I always feel he doing a Jack Nicolson impressiom.

I lived in an apartment building right next to the Safari Inn in Burbank when they were filming. Got a job as a gofer. Lots of fun. Happy set.

Also note the music by Hans Zimmer was a copy of the music in Badlands, with Martin Sheen. But that movie was based on Charlie Starkweather, also on a crime spree, but different

I suggested this a while back ( to you and other reactors...) and you (the only one so far) finally watched it! Woot! IMO it's Christian Slater's best movie!

As a young man I fell in love with Patricia Arquette's Alabama just as quickly as Clarence. Such an alluring combination of sexuality, faithfulness and danger.

Tony Scott directed 5 movies over a stretch with Denzel Washington. The first one is the movie he made after True Romance, an excellent thriller with a great cast by the name of Crimson Tide. Highly recommend it.

Thanks for another great review, Shan! I'm seriously diggin' your most recent selections, man. To throw in just a bit of insight. . . Both Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini were virtual nobodies in Hollywood when this movie was made, though Brad and James would both rise up and work twice more together (in The Mexican and Killing Them Softly) before JG passed. Of course, Mr. Pitt went on to make at least four more Tarantino films, as did Samuel L. Jackson. And, it should be noted that Christian Slater (who was then a hot property contributed to BP getting his big breakout role in Interview with A Vampire, in which they both appeared together. Chris Penn was resurrected for QT's Reservoir dogs before he died in real life. And, this is most often the movie people consider as Gary Oldham's launch into a long string of villainous roles. Maria Patillo (Kandi) was also in Tarantino's Natural Born Killers, but to answer your inquiry, you can skip that one. It kinda sucked. If you really need another film that QT "had something to do with"... Sin City, Shan. VERY Entertaining and unique! (Just don't watch the sequel. Worst sequel since Boondock Saints' 2). I know you mentioned a few of the bit actors that later made it big, (if they hadn't already), but did you notice the following? Val Kilmer as Elvis... Bronson Pinchot from Beverly Hills Cop and Risky Business as Elliot... Conchata Ferrell (Berta from Two and a Half Men) as the talent agent at Dick's audition... Kevin Corrigan (DiCaprio's cousin from The Departed)... PLUS Anna Thomson, as Lucy, the original girl from the bar at the beginning (who was Delilah, the cut up whore) from The Unforgiven along with Saul Rubinek {aka Lee, the coked- up movie director} who was the writer Mr. W.W. Beauchamp? Yeah, this movie is a great one, and great for making connections. I'll stop now ;^)

A couple more actor plugs. The mobster in the hotel room was in the Sopranos . Also, not really mentioned, but the Elvis alter ego was actually Val Kilmer. This is my favorite Tarentino movie just because of the actors. Oldman was so good it was scary.

i love how dennis hopper taunts him so he kills him quick and fast. arquet is stunning in this movie ontop of the awsome acting

Great reaction buddy, first time viewing one of your reactions and I'll definitely view more. As others have mentioned, Tarantino originally had Clarence dying at the end, but that's not the only main change from his original script. Tarantino's script was originally written in a non-linear fashion, much like the later Pulp Fiction. Tony Scott loved the script but had to change it to a chronological timeline as cinema audiences at that time wouldn't have been ready for this type of story telling, while also potentially not being able to attract the caliber of stars who signed on to act in this film. It's fascinating to think how this movie would've turned out, had both the original ending and the non-linear timeline. Maybe opening with the Mexican standoff and Clarence's death before jumping back and forth. Another fun fact, is that the producer Lee Donowitz, is in fact a relative (grandson I believe, as confirmed by Tarantino) of Sgt Donny (the Bear Jew) Donowitz from Inglorious Basterds. This confirms that this movie - although not directed by Tarantino - is included in his movie universe. If you don't know much about the Tarantino Universe, I recommend reading a little about it. Movies Hateful 8, Django, Once Upon a Time, Inglorious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and True Romance; are all stories of actual events in his shared universe not too dissimilar to our universe - although in that universe, certain historical events are different such as Hitler's assassination. Throughout these movies, there are so many characters related. Prime example is Michael Madsen's Mr Blonde, being the brother of Travolta's Vincent Vega. Movies like Kill Bill 1&2, Death Proof and From Dusk Til Dawn are included in this universe. However, Tarantino says these are MOVIES inside his universe. He says of Kill Bill: "it's the type of movie you could imagine Vincent and Jules goes to see at the movies between events taking place during Pulp Fiction". This explains why these films share elements that aren't possible and even supernatural (such as the vampires of FDTD)

I’m so happy you reacted to this amazing movie!! This is one of favorite movies!

If I could, I would take 60% of Oscars and hand them over to Gary Oldman. But then I remember that the fact that Gary doesn't have an Oscar further reinforces my belief that they do not represent appreciation of one's acting skill. I appreciate this man's talent very much, he has done so many roles that are polar opposites. What a legend!

You should check out "Wisdom" sometime. Wisdom is a 1986 American romantic crime film written and directed by its star Emilio Estevez in his filmmaking debut. The film also stars Demi Moore, along with Tom Skerritt and Veronica Cartwright as Estevez's parents. The ending credits song is "Home Again" by Oingo Boingo and the score by Danny Elfman.

This is my favorite Tarantino film even though he didn't direct it. Trivia time: Val Kilmer portrayed Elvis in the scenes with Clarence. Originally they had prosthetics to give Kilmer more Elvis like features, but once they were applied they didn't look good. So they opted to have Kilmer's face not be shown or obscured. Also the Elvis Estate wouldn't allow the use of any Elvis music in the film.

Natural Born Killers- a definite yes... Woddy Harrelson is so cool and Juliette Lewis is sensually hot. Anyway, the movie was thrilling although Quentin Tarantino wasn't happy with the production. I wrote that before watching your reaction... Great reaction! This is among my 5 favorite movies. Although it was very star studded that is not why. It was in my view, the birth of an incredible writer/ director's career. Looking forward to more reactions. Peace.

This movie has one of the best most realistic fight scenes ive ever seen. It’s so intense. And i think one of the best shot fight scenes in a movie between a male and female

'Horrifyingly great scene' best description of a scene ever! i laughed so hard! just brilliant!

Thank you for watching this. Not enough people have this on their radar. Love it!

It's my understanding that the script of True Romance was so big that elements of it was what inspired Natural Born Killers. And yes, absolutely watch it. I haven't seen a movie made like it before or since. Also one quarter of Four Rooms is written and directed by Tarantino. Room 4, The Man from Hollywood.

you are the only reactor that has left the Sicilian scene in their reaction I love it

Rain Man and True Romance really cemented Hans Zimmer as the real deal

I absolutely love this movie, one of my all time favorites. Great reaction, by the way. Surprised to have a happy ending? Well, in the original script, Clarence dies! Also it was non-linear. At first Tarantino wasn't happy about Scott's finale, but later he admitted, that in this particular movie the happy end worked better. The main theme is a ripp-off from Carl Orff's "Gassenhauer" used in Terrence Malick's movie "Badlands" (also about "lovers on the run") ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--tEgzGnzojc.html The little boy at the end? That was Patricia Arquette's son. Clarence clearly stands for Tarantino. Instead of a video store he works in a comic store. The movies he mentioned are also among Tarantino's favorites ("Rio Bravo", "Mad Max", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly")

FINALLY! A review of my favorite Tarantino story!

If i remember correctly "Elvis" was played by Val Kilmer! Btw a Tarantino movie that rarely gets mentioned is Death Proof.....a must see!

Tarantino has said that the scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is his favorite thing he ever wrote.

Glad you finally watched one of my favourite movies of all time. There's so many great scenes in this film.

Did you remember Alabama was mentioned in Resevoir Dogs? Mr White scene: "Good woman, good thief "
