Mad Dogs (1992)
From the movie: - Have you killed anyone?
- A couple of cops.
- And the people?
"Just the cops.
Tarantino decided to dress his heroes in black suits and white shirts with black ties, that is, the same way the characters of John Wu's Hong Kong film "The Right to Life 2"were dressed.

Samuel L. Jackson auditioned for the role of Mr. Orange.
Although he eventually did not star in the film, Tarantino was so delighted with him that he invited him to "Pulp Fiction".
George Clooney, who auditioned for the role of Mr. Blonde, was refused.
The name of the picture was born due to Tarantino's passion for the films " Goodbye, Children "(1987) and" Straw Dogs " (1971).
Knowing little French, Tarantino called the first tape "that reservoir movie".
As a result of a simple combination, the name "Reservoir Dogs" was formed — "Mad Dogs".
Initially, Quentin Tarantino was going to shoot this film on black and white film, taking his friends actors in it.
The script was passed from hand to hand and eventually got to Harvey Keitel, who liked it so much that the actor immediately agreed to star in the film and even helped in finding sources of funding.
Robert Kurztman agreed to do a special makeup for free on the condition that Tarantino, in turn, would agree to write the script for the film "From Dusk to Dawn" (1996), based on the plot of Kurtzman.

An ambulance paramedic was present on the set, whose duties included making sure that the amount of blood flowing out of Mr. Orange corresponded to reality.
In order not to scare off the sponsors, producer Lawrence Bender decided to shoot primarily episodes without blood and violence, which were shown to investors as working material.
All the main scenes were filmed later.
Sometimes Tim Roth had to lie in a pool of artificial blood for so long that it dried up.
As a result, the actor was torn off the floor for several minutes.

The budget of the tape was not enough for costumes, so many actors were filmed in their own clothes.
In addition, Michael Madsen had to drive his own Cadillac on the set.
The warehouse featured in the film was previously used as a morgue.
The word "fuck" is pronounced 269 times in the picture.
Tarantino, who in every possible way avoids advertising various brands (product placement) in his films, used "Red Apples" cigarettes in the picture, which he invented himself, as well as corn flakes with such names, which were abandoned back in the 70s.
The total number of deaths in the film (shown and not shown) is 17.
The film was awarded prizes at film festivals in Toronto, Stockholm and Catalonia, as well as the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor (Steve Buscemi) and the London Film Critics Award for Best Directorial Debut.
Initially, in the first scene of the film, the main characters were supposed to be nostalgic for the song "Money" by Pink Floyd.
However, Tarantino later changed the song to "Little Green Bag".
In the warehouse where the main action of the picture takes place, you can notice several coffins.
In addition, Mr. Blonde is sitting on an old hearse.
Christopher Walken was offered the role of Mr. Blonde, but he refused.

When the policeman begs Mr. Blonde not to burn him, he says that he has a small child.
This phrase was absent from the script and is an improvisation by Kirk Baltz.
When he said it for the first time, Michael Madsen, who had a son shortly before the start of filming, was so amazed and shocked at the idea of leaving the child without a father that he could not finish the scene.
An attentive viewer may notice that Mr. Orange's apartment is located on the floor above the warehouse where the main action of the film takes place.
Due to budget constraints, the creators of the picture had to renovate the room, making it look like a residential apartment.
Kirk Baltz asked Michael Madsen to take him in the trunk of a car.
Madsen agreed, because he felt that for a better understanding of his character, it would also not hurt for him to take someone for a ride in the trunk of a car.
Therefore, Michael specifically drove along the road with numerous potholes and holes.
Initially, the song "Ballroom Blitz" by the band "Sweet"was supposed to play in the torture scene.
Added at 16: 21 In the United States, the film was released without advertising, so it was very mediocre at the box office.
However, when the film was released in England, many people already knew about Tarantino, and the film became a real hit of the British rental.
There are no female characters in the film who have dialogues.
However, they are present in the deleted scenes on the DVD.
All the actors who played the bandits, at one time or another, went to prison.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
From the movie:
The path of the righteous is difficult, because it is hindered by the selfish and tyrants of evil people.
Blessed is the shepherd who, in the name of his zeal and good will, leads the weak through the valley of darkness, for it is he who cares for his brothers and returns the lost sons.
And I will take great vengeance on them with fierce punishments, on those who plotted to harm and poison my brothers.
And you will know that my name is the Lord when my vengeance falls on you.

The classic picture of Quentin Tarantino was first shown in May 1994 at the Cannes Film Festival.
Later, it was seen by guests of other international festivals around the world — from Munich to Locarno, and only on September 23 at the New York Film Festival, the first American viewers were able to see it.
Then the film was released in South Korea, Japan and Slovakia, and the first screening to the general American public took place on October 14, after which the film began its journey to cinemas in other countries.

The events of the plot can be arranged strictly in chronological order.
At first glance, the nonlinear narrative in the film is quite chaotic and confusing, but the film can distinguish seven main parts — a prologue, an epilogue, two introductions and three main stories, they are easily arranged in chronological order.
Hint: the first chronological part is the episode with Major Coolidge's golden watch.

The word "fuck"occurs 265 times in the film.
Moreover, this is not the limit for Tarantino, as we already know, in his film "Reservoir Dogs" various variations of profanity with this word sound 269 times.
Nevertheless, in 1994, no film was even close to" Pulp Fiction " in terms of the number of swear words.
Vincent Vega's car was stolen after the release of the film.
The heroine of the film, whose role was brilliantly performed by Amanda Plummer, received her nickname in honor of the rabbit of Linda Chen, Quentin Tarantino's assistant, who reprinted the script of the film written by the director by hand.
Instead of paying, she asked Quentin to follow her pet rabbit named Honey Bunny while she was busy working, but the director did not heed her requests and the rabbit died after a while.
Tarantino took care of the pet in his own way — his name became the nickname of the girlfriend of the character played by Tim Roth.

The hero of John Travolta in the film drives a chic Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible of 1964, which belonged to the director himself.
Shortly after the end of filming, the Chevy was stolen, and more recently, in 2013, during the investigation of the theft of another car, the California police stopped a cherry colored Chervon in the vicinity of Oakland, like two drops of water similar to a car from "Pulp Fiction".
Later it turned out that this is the same car that was stolen from Tarantino 19 years ago.
It took the film six months to collect $100 million.
Despite the fact that now "Pulp Fiction" is considered one of the most iconic pictures in the history of cinema, in the United States, the film collected $100 million in only 178 days of rental.
For comparison — the final part of the Harry Potter saga took only two days to complete.
The role of Vincent Vega was originally written under Michael Madsen.

Some of the film's characters are written by the director for specific actors — among them Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer.
The director also intended to use in the film a character from his previous film "Mad Dogs" Vic Vega, whose role was played by Michael Madsen.
However, the actor could not take part in" Pulp Fiction "because of the filming of the western" Wyatt Earp "Vincent Vega — the brother of Mr. Blond from"Mad Dogs".
Due to the fact that Madsen could not play the role of Vic Vega in "Reading", Quentin Tarantino tweaked the script, renaming the character Vincent, according to legend Vic Vega's brother.
As a result, his role was played by John Travolta, from which the picture, I think, only won — with all due respect to Michael Madsen, Travolta coped with the role of an assassin just brilliantly.
The budget of" Chtiva " was only $8.5 million.
At the same time, $5 million went to pay for the star cast.
The film paid off in the first week of rental in the United States — it collected $9.3 million over the weekend alone.
Among the films of the "R" category released in 1994, "Pulp Fiction" became the third largest collection in the United States .
In the United States, an "R" rating means that children under the age of 17 are allowed to watch the film only if accompanied by their parents or guardians.
The creation of Quentin Tarantino lost to the action movie "True Lies" (fees in the United States amounted to $146.2 million) and the film "Speed" ($121.2 million), while "Reading" entered the top ten highest grossing films of 1994, the leader among them was "Forrest Gump", with a result of $329.6 million.
Added at 16: 23 The book that Vincent Vega read is a real life edition.
The paperback book that Vince enjoys while sitting in the toilet is a novel by Peter O'Donnell "Modesty Blaze", based on his comic book series, which tells about the adventures of a female secret agent.
The director is known for his love for this comic book character — in 2003, he produced the film "The Adventures of Modesty Blaise" (in the original - "Quentin Tarantino presents My Name Is Modesty: A Modesty Blaise Adventure").

One of the characters of "Reading" became the prototype of the Stig from the program "Top Gear".
The authors of the program claim that a gay man named Gimp, who tried to rape the hero Bruce Willis, hiding his face behind a leather mask, pushed them to the idea of introducing a mysterious racer into the program who does not disclose his incognito.
It was also supposed to be called Gimp, but later the name Stig was chosen.
Boxer Butch was supposed to be much younger than the young boxer was supposed to be played by actor Matt Dillon Tarantino wrote the role, seeing him as Butch Coolidge, but Dillon refused to participate in the shooting due to lack of time.
Harvey Keitel advised the director to take on the role of Bruce Willis, and the director, after thinking, corrected the script.
Willis definitely succeeded in the role of a boxer, although initially he wanted to play Vincent Vega.

Tarantino loves vintage board games and he reflected this in the film.
When Vincent and Lance try to save Mia Wallace from an overdose by giving her an adrenaline shot, the games "Operation" and"The Game of Life" are visible on the shelf in the background.
A less well known fact is that Quentin Tarantino managed to convince John Travolta to play the role of Vince, playing with him all evening in "Welcome Back Kotter"," Grease"and" Saturday Night Fever " — all these games Tarantino found at the actor's house, having come to him with an offer of the role.

Uma Thurman was not the first contender for the role of Mia Wallace.
Tarantino chose between several actresses who could play Mia: Isabella Rossellini, Julia Louis Dreyfus , Meg Ryan, Alfre Woodard, Halle Berry, Daryl Hannah, Rosanna Arquette, Joan Cusack or Michelle Pfeiffer.
It was rumored that the latter was the director's favorite.
The first posters of the film cost a lot of money.
The first released posters depict Uma Thurman smoking a Lucky Strike cigarette, but the Miramax film company could not agree with the copyright holder of the brand, so the circulation was withdrawn and now these posters are considered very rare.
Those who have managed to get hold of the originals sell them for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

Some episodes of "Pulp Fiction" were directed by Robert Rodriguez.
Quentin Tarantino himself, as you know, played the role of the boy Jimmy in the film.
Being in the image, the director, for obvious reasons, could not follow the shooting, so Robert Rodriguez had to shoot scenes with his participation.
Later, they collaborated on a number of other projects, such as" From Dusk to Dawn "and"Grindhouse".
The role of Jules was written specifically for Samuel L. Jackson, but he almost missed it.
Tarantino wanted Jackson to play Jules, but when Paul Calderon came to the audition, the director was so impressed with his organicity in the image that he almost approved him for the role.
Jackson had to urgently fly to Los Angeles to regain the role.
Added at 16: 25, Captain Kunz has a "relative" in another Tarantino picture.
Among fans of the director's work, there is an opinion that Captain Koontz, who gave the young Butch his father's gold watch — is a descendant of the very Mad Craig Koontz mentioned in the film Django Unchained, according to the plot he is wanted for murder and robbery.

Vince didnot have to aim to get a shot of adrenaline into his heart.
Filming the scene in which Vincent Vega brings Mia Wallace back to life, the director had to go to a trick.
Quentin wanted everything to look as authentic as possible, but it's quite difficult to get a needle in the right place with a swing, especially for a person without medical experience.
The episode with adrenaline was filmed as follows: first, a syringe was stuck in the chest of Uma Thurman, and then John Travolta pulled it out.
The footage was played in reverse order, so that on the screen it looked as if Vince had actually plunged a syringe into the heart.

Four Rooms (1995)
From the movie:
— And what if we leave the children alone today?
- What, all alone?
- Well, not really, with the TV.
Added at 16: 27 The film consists of four short stories, the action of which takes place in four rooms;
Initially, the film was planned to be called "Five Rooms", but they decided to remove the fifth novel before the shooting began;
One of the directors, Allison Anders — is a woman; Another director, Alexander Rockwell — is the grandson of the Russian French animator artist Alexander Alekseevich Alekseev, the inventor of the needle screen;
The third director Robert Rodriguez forced the children to watch his own movie Bedhead in his episode;

In the fourth episode, directed by Quentin Tarantino, the word "fuck" and its derivatives are pronounced exactly 193 times in 21 minutes of action;
After working together with Quentin in "Pulp Fiction", Bruce Willis asked to star in the Tarantino part of "Four Rooms" called "Penthouse: the man from Hollywood" without a fee.
That is why Willis is not even in the credits: according to the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, artists do not have the right to act for free;
The American Directors Guild also did not allow us to work on the film in peace.
One of the main postulates of the American Directors Guild is the following thesis: "One film — one director".
Therefore, all four directors had to leave the guild in order to produce a picture.

Added at 16: 28, Madonna was so dissatisfied with the way she looked in the film that she flatly refused to participate in the film's promotions, despite the fact that it was stipulated in her contract.
That is why on the posters and the cover of the cd, Madonna has red hair with them (unlike the platinum blonde in the film) she liked herself.
In the title picture to the post, on the left, there is a frame with a Madonna from the movie, on the right — a photo of the poster.
The role of Ted was originally written for Steve Buscemi.

Jackie Brown (1997)
From the movie: I may be stupid, but I'm not a moron.
References to " Pulp Fiction "(1994): - Jackie eats food from "Teriyaki Donut".
In the same place, Marcelas Wallace was buying food, shortly before he was hit by Butch.
- The suit that Jackie is buying is the same suit that Mia Wallace was wearing.
"Jackie's white Honda is the same car that Butch used to hit Marcelas Wallace.
Max Cherry, leaving the cinema in the shopping center, was satisfied with the film.
It is noteworthy that the music playing on the final credits of the picture that Max watched is identical to the composition playing on the final credits of "Jackie Brown".

In one of the scenes of the film, Ordell tells Louis (Robert De Niro) that he is as serious as a heart attack.
In" The Fan " (1996), De Niro says exactly the same phrase.
The last name of one of the tenants in the building where Melanie lives is S. Haig.
This is a reference to Sid Haig, who played the judge.
The electronic "voice" on Jackie's answering machine belongs to Quentin Tarantino.
When Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) goes to prison, "Longtime Woman" plays.
Pam recorded this song for the movie "The Big Doll House" (1971), where it sounds when the main character of the picture is in prison.
During the trial of Jackie, Mira Sorvino can be seen in the background.
In the end credits, Bert D'Angelo's daughter is mentioned in the "Special Thanks" column.
In the late 1970s, Paul Sorvino played in the detective series "Bert D'Angelo / Superstar" (1976).
Bert's daughter is Paul's daughter, Mira Sorvino, with whom Quentin Tarantino was dating at that time.
Added at 16: 29 In one of the scenes of the film, Samuel L. Jackson says: "This is disgusting shit."
He says exactly the same phrase in "Pulp Fiction" (1994) and "Shaft" (2000).
Ordell tells Louis that the people he sells guns to donot want to buy one gun, they always take two, because "they all want to be a Killer."
This is a reference to the" Killer " (1989) by John Woo, where the main characters preferred to shoot with both hands at the same time.

Quentin Tarantino named the main character in honor of one of his favorite films "Foxy Brown" (1974), where Pam Grier also played.
Sid Haig, who played the role of a judge in this film, played a bad guy in "Foxy Brown" (1974).
Carol Speed was supposed to play a small role in the film, but shortly before the start of filming, she dropped out of the project.
Melanie is watching Sergio Greco's film "Belva col mitra, La" (1977) on TV.
Sylvester Stallone planned to play Luis.
John Travolta was the original choice for the role of Ray Nicolette.
Samuel L. Jackson suggested that his character should have long hair and a goatee.
Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, John Saxon and Robert Forster were considered for the role of Max Cherry.
Louis and Ordell first appeared in Elmore Leonard's novel "The Switch".
At the age of 15, Quentin Tarantino was arrested for attempting to steal this book from a store.
In" The Switch", Louis and Ordell kidnapped the wife of a millionaire for ransom, but the husband was not interested in her return.
This plot was used for the film "Ruthless People" (1986).
In the sequel to Leonard's book called "Rum Punch", Louis and Ordell complain that Hollywood producers stole the idea for the film from them, but they still do not pronounce the name of the picture.
