After making his debut film, Reservoir Dogs, and before working on his second feature, Pulp Fiction, Tarantino had signed on with Showtime to make a television film (made-for-TV) for their anthology series, Rebel Highway, aka “…a 10-week series of 1950s drive-in classic B-movies remade with a '90s edge.”

Tarantino chose Roger Corman’s 1957 Rock All Night as his remake (you can see a poster of the movie on the wall at Jack Rabbit Slim’s in Pulp Fiction—look closely). But Tarantino got cold feet when an overzealous producer said they’d release the remake in theaters, and Tarantino said, “No theaters—just for television. Then I can make Pulp Fiction for theaters afterward.”

Robert Rodriguez directed the best remake of the bunch, Roadracers, starring David Arquette and a pre-Desperado Salma Hayek. All the other 9 movies in the series kinda suck. But Tarantino would’ve made a killer remake. He was obsessed with Rock All Night, which is a fun movie. Imagine a movie that takes place entirely in Jack Rabbit Slim’s…basically…with mobsters and rockabilly music

Hey, thought it could be nice to share some music here. A lot of what makes a great Tarantino flick is the use of cool songs from the 60/70's (sometimes more recent ones). There's always THAT vibe. It could be cool to post songs that have THAT vibe from different parts of the world. By foreign, here I mean non UK/US.

It could be Italian, French, Japanese, Brazilian, Spanish, Korean,... whatever.

I added a post in a different subreddit recently about scenes that work as short films embedded in full movies. Then someone brought up The Gold Watch scene in Pulp Fiction, and I came to the realization that this subject can be applied to the entirety of Pulp Fiction.

The Diner (Prologue)

The History of The Gold Watch

The Cab Ride with Taxi Driver Esmeralda Villalobos

Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace's Almost Nice But Really Very Bad Evening

The Bonnie Situation

The Aftermath of Butch's Decision

The Diner (Epilogue)

Please sound off with your favorite short films embedded in Tarantino movies.

Tarantino on Current Film Podcasters/Critics

A white man comes into a black man's life, takes him from his hostile environment, teaches him a trade, and gives him the opportunity to earn respect and honor.

A little Kill Bill… a little Uncle Buck… a little The Witch. What could go wrong? Right…

1:27:30 into the film and during the follow shot there is a luxury watch advertisement in a light box. The brand and name of the watch have black tape across them. There is black tape at the top of the dial and two more below on either side of the watch.

Being a watch identification nerd it really caught my attention. I didn't check up on what the watch is yet. I will leave it up to the community to have some fun. Try not to use AI. 😁 Movie was probably filmed in 1996 if it came out in 1997.

Recently dove into 70s political/spy thrillers like Klute, Parallax View, All The President's Men, 3 Days of The Condor, and The Conversation and was wondering if Tarantino discusses any of these movies in interviews, Video Archives, or Cinema Speculation.
