1.
Jay-Z and JD said money ain’t a thing, but
when in this case, it means something.
Django Unchained is the highest grossing film
on Quentin Tarantino’s resume.
2.
The leading star in Quentin Tarantino movies
is usually an under the radar actor that nobody
knows and their career takes off after being
in a Quentin Tarantino film.
That’s great and all, but it was it was
quite refreshing that he used actors with
multiple Oscar nominations that were household
names already to lead these movies (Django
Unchained and Inglorious Basterds)
3.
All Quentin Tarantino movies are directed
with nonlinear storytelling.
Django Unchained wasn’t, so it was probably
the most challenging for the director.
4.
For viewers, it’s the easiest movie to understand
and they don’t have to baby the audience
by adding Chapters before each storyline.
5.
All of these movies also star Samuel L. Jackson
in a role.
He’s Jules in Pulp Fiction, the dead piano
player in Kill Bill, a narrator in Inglorious
Basterds and a house negro in Django Unchained.
He’s a likable character in each film except
Django Unchained so it’s probably the most
challenging role for him.
6.
Quentin Tarantino usually chooses old classics
to feature in his movies.
Django Unchained has the most modern music
choses and gives the film personality.
Fun fact, the leading star, Jamie Foxx even
produced and sung a song for the movie.
7.
Pop culture references are easy to spot in
Quentin Tarantino movies, but you have to
really try hard to notice them in Django Unchained.
Fun Fact, Don Johnson played Crockett in the
Miami Vice TV show and Jamie played Tubbs
in the Miami Vice movie so it’s like an
unofficial reunion.
8.
The cool part about Quentin Tarantino movies
is that he writes his own scripts.
He won an Oscar for best original screenplays
in these movies (Pulp and Django), but the
award was sweeter with Django since he didn’t
have to share the credit with a co-writer.
9.
Tarantino is infamous for writing and saying
a lot of racial slurs in his movies.
That’s why it’s satisfying when he gets
what he deserves in his films.
He walked away alive in Pulp Fiction, He ran
away as a member of the Crazy 88 when Beatrix
let the survivors go, Technically, Tarantino
is scalped in Inglorious Basterds, but it
doesn’t count because it’s a dummy.
In Django, Tarantino’s character calls Django
blackie over and over again and to make it
worse, he says it in a horrible Australian
accent.
Django sends him straight to hell.
10.
This is surprising because racists usually
survive in Quentin Tarantino films.
The Jew Hunter lives survives at the end of
Inglorious Basterds, but just has to walk
around with an embarrassing tat for the rest
of his life.
Although, Zed and Jimmie are attracted to
black people, they still exhibit racist characteristics
and by the end of the movie, it’s never
confirmed if any of them are dead.
Beatrix killed a black woman in front of her
daughter and killed over about 88 asians by
the end of the movie, some people would consider
those hate crimes, she survives part 1 and
part 2 of her franchise.
Every single racist in Django Unchained is
killed in this movie.
11.
There are strong family themes in every Tarantino
movie.
Typically the director focuses on the parent
and child relationship.
Django Unchained was the first time the relationship
between a husband and wife drove the story.
12.
The least dysfunctional relationship in any
of Quentin Tarantino’s movies is the romance
between Django and Broomhilda.
All the other relationships involve either
physical or emotional abuse and the only time
a couple isn’t arguing, they’re in the
middle of committing a felony.
13.
All the leading ladies from these movies ended
up getting a divorce after starring in the
movie or breaking up with a boyfriend after
a 4 year relationship.
Kerry Washington was the only one who broke
the curse and got married afterwards.
14.
Django Unchained is the only movie where Quentin
Tarantino doesn’t add an out of place foot
scene like he always does because of his foot
fetish.
15.
These movies are produced by Harvey Weinstein
so they always include rape scene.
The irony.
Broomhilda’s expectations are subverted
when she thinks the Bounty Hunter is about
to rape her, but instead gives her and her
husband his room for the night.
16.
With the rape and sexual harassment scenes
in these movies (Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction),
the pervert finishes the job.
In these movies, no means no and the pervert
isn’t able to violate the main characters.
Even better, they hero makes sure they’ll
never be able to sexually harass anyone again
(Inglorious and Django).
17.
If you have a crotch hold onto it if you’re
in a Tarantino movie.
It’s tough to watch these scenes.
In Kill Bill (Veronica Green crotch), it probably
hurts, but it’s not that bad compared to
these two movies.
In Django Unchained, it seems like the only
place he aims is below the belt.
(Tub and Sheriff from Hateful 8)
18.
The gunmen in Django are scarier than the
gunman in the other Tarantino movies.
When they point a barrel to Django and Dr.
Schultz head, they waist no time and start
singing like Mary J. Blige because they know
the gunmen aren’t playing.
In Pulp Fiction, no one’s really scared
of Jules because he’s quoting scriptures
most of the time which is why the guy in the
bathroom tests him.
In Inglorious Basterds, The Jew Hunter isn’t
scared of the Basterds because he knows they
won’t kill him and he’s right because
they don’t.
The gunmen don’t even use guns in Kill Bill,
they use swords.
This is probably why Sofie tells Black Mamba
to burn in hell when she’s being interrogated.
19.
You’re not supposed to like the bad guys,
but the bad guy army from Django had personality.
The crazy 88 have awesome choreography, but
none of them stand out so individually, they’re
all forgettable.
The cookie cutter Nazi characters are forgettable
as well.
Marcellus doesn’t keep an army on payroll,
but in Django, the KKK in Django has quotes
for days and steal the show in their one scene.
20.
In a Quentin Tarantino movie, everybody knows
if someone is offered food you have to run
because it means somebody’s about to die.
Jules ask for a piece of the Big Kuhuna Burger
and the moment Brett and his friends decided
to stick around was the exact moment they
messed up because ba da da da dat.
Hans ask for a glass of milk and the Jewish
family under the floor boards stays to listen
to him gulp then ba da da da dat dat dat.
Copperhead asks Black Mamba if she wants some
coffee.
Everything’s cool until she reaches for
the cereal and then Black Mamba’s all like,
but wait, I thought you were making coffee?
(knife sound effect).
In Django Unchained, Christoph Waltz learned
his lesson from Inglorious Basterds so when
Mister (french) Candy offers him a piece of
cake, he’s like no thank you pew pew.
21.
Someone always runs away in a Quentin Tarantino
movie, but have to return to complete unfinished
business.
However, it doesn’t always positively influence
the end of the movie except in two films.
Django returns to Candy Land and if he didn’t
come back, his wife would never get set free.
Beatrix return makes a difference because
she’s the only person that could’ve defeated
the Crazy 88.
In Pulp Fiction, Butch returns to save Marsellus
Wallace, but if he would’ve never came back
for the watch in the first place, Marsellus
would’ve never got hit by the car and would’ve
never got raped by Zed.
In Inglorious Basterds, Shosanna runs away
from Hans and when she’s reunited with him
years later she vows for vengeance.
Not only does she not kill him, but even if
she didn’t blow up theater, the Inglorious
Basterds would’ve blown it up anyway.
22.
The hostages are tortured until they beg for
mercy in all of these movies.
I’m not sure which punishment is the worst,
but the characters in Django are definitely
the most sinister because they think about
their punishments for days so lots of thought
goes into it (audio).
23.
The actors are put in real life danger behind
the scenes and this usually results in memorable
moments for the final cut.
Zoe Bell, the stunt woman on Kill Bill injured
her back during filming and kept it a secret
so she couldn’t get replaced.
Diane Kruger was really choked by Tarantino
during filming and went unconscious so Tarantino
yelled cut.
Ving Rhames cut himself shaving and had to
use a band aid to cover it up.
Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand and instead
of yelling cut, Tarantino kept the cameras
rolling and it’s a good thing he did because
the ends up being one of the best performances
in the movie.
24.
The most unlikely characters show mercy to
an enemy in all of these films.
Marsellus lets Butch live, but only after
he saves his life.
Jules lets the robbers go, but only after
they try to steal the briefcase.
Lt. Aldo Raine let Hans live, but only after
Hans told his superior he would let them finish
their mission as long as he was granted immunity.
Beatrix lets Sofie live, but only so she could
scare Bill when she shows him her new scars
and In Django, Django lets the house slaves
leave and that type of emancipation is what
got Lincoln’s face on the front of the penny.
