I have always thought that it is because his last two movies he directed were Pulp Fiction (94) and Reservoir Dogs (92), all three being character driven crime capers. The audience at the time may have just got bored of this type of movie, despite them all being so great. It also may be why his next directorial role gave us Kill Bill, which was so wildly different, as Quentin knew that's what his audience would be most excited to see from him.

Wait, you don’t think old people have sex? Fall in love? Please tell me you’re a young person that doesn’t know any better, and not an old person that has thrown in the towel. When you’re old, you’ve settled into a routine. You’ve accepted your lot. If you’ve been single for a while, you’ve gotten bored with sport sex and/or exhausted with chasing after it. You think the fire has died down. Maybe you entertain a tiny hope, but you don’t entertain it. And then one day, BAM, you get hit with love/lust like a ton of bricks. It always happens when you least expect it. And sometimes it works out. Or it doesn’t and you wonder what the hell just happened.

I love that Sid Haig plays a judge. In his long career, he's almost exclusively played villains. My favorite Tarantino film is one he didn't direct. He wrote the script for True Romance, but Tony Scott directed the movie. It has a scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken that's one of my favorites from any film.

This film is what got Sid back into acting. Tarantino actually tracked his down and asked him if he'd make a cameo in this since so much of his career was playing opposite Pam(especially in the Corman films). He was then asked if he'd make a cameo in Kill Bill(technically his scene was in Part II) as the bartender in the strip Club that Micheal Madsen is a bouncer in. So we have Tarantino to thank for getting him to come out of acting retirement and in a way all the films since Jackie Brown that he was in. He'll be greatly missed 😪

Pre-sopranos James Gandolfini but craziest performance is Gary Oldman, unrecognizable as Drexel the pimp. Also watched the sitcom Perfect strangers as a kid so I thought Bronson Pinchot was great too.

I haven’t checked, but I strongly suspect that Tarantino lifted a lot of dialogue from the page. Leonard is a huge influence on how Tarantino writes dialogue and characters, but part of what makes this movie great is that he didn’t significantly change the characters when he adapted the novel. The biggest thumbprint Tarantino has in this particular film is his casting, but it’s a straightforward and honest rendition of the novel. I think that’s why it feels so different.

Sadly the bail bonds office has been torn down and the mall has been completely remodeled. A nice time capsule to my youth.

Wanted to add that now that you've seen Jackie Brown, you MUST watch Out of Sight (Steven Soderbergh). It's an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel, same author as Rum Punch. It even has at least one overlapping character in it. It's a great comedy crime flick with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Get Shorty (Barry Sonnenfeld) is another film from the same author. Watching these 3 films is a good way to see how 3 different directors approach the same material. All 3 are excellent films in their own way

Bail is set for release before trial, and the amount is returned if the defendant shows up to court (it's forfeit if you paid bail to be released before trial but don't show for trial). However, bail is often set ridiculously high and out of reach for most people. A bail bondsman will cover that ridiculously high amount, if the defendant pays them 10%. If the defendant shows up, the bondsman keeps the 10% plus gets their bail amount back. If the defendant doesn't show up, the bondsman is out whatever the full bail amount is.

Personal Ranking of the Tarantino 9. 1. Reservoir Dogs - The first, the best, the trendsetter. 2. Pulp Fiction - Encapsulates his entire cinematic style and tastes. 3. Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2) - Can't separate them personally, but this is when Tarantino became more indulgent and less concerned about alienating the audience. 4. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood- An absolute love letter to old Hollywood. 5. Inglourious Basterds - Tarantino arguably at his most self-indulgent. Just an all around gorgeous and entertaining wish fulfilling gorefest with Christoph Waltz stealing the show in an awesome ensemble cast. 6. Django Unchained - Pretty much copy/paste what I said for Basterds. 7. Jackie Brown - Cinematically awesome and well acted, but you definitely have to be in a mood for the head dizzying twists and turns. 8. Death Proof - Was awesome in theaters as part of the Grindhouse experience but suffers with context and run time by itself on home video. Even still, Planet Terror was more fun as were the trailers between the double feature. 9. Hateful Eight - The only Tarantino movie I never went back and re-watched because I just didn't enjoy it in theaters.

The ending is perfect. I can tell you from experience, "running away" with somebody you barely know, diving head first into a full-blown cohabitation-type relationship with somebody you practically just met, is a BAD IDEA! You got to date first. You got to live separately for as long as you can. Once Jackie has settled down Mexico way, it would be great if Max could visit her, maybe spend a weekend. Or maybe spend a week's vacation together in the summer. And, after some years of spending occasional time together like that, if they're still interested in each other, then maybe sell the bail bonds business and retire down there to be with her. But "Hey, let me turn my back on my livelihood and traipse off to a foreign country to shack up with a woman I just met!" Yeah... no. There's a reason why that shit only happens in the movies. Because real-life people know it's fucking stupid! The ending is perfect just how it is. Tarantino's second-best movie after "Reservoir Dogs."

You can tell the exact moment when Max fell in love with Jackie Brown when they first met. He just softens, just looks more alive than when you first see him. BTW: Rum Punch is an excellent novel, with a few changes. The most significant is that Jackie Brown is called Jackie Burke, and she's white.

Elmore Leonard wrote Get Shorty, Out Of Sight, 3:10 To Yuma. Pam Grier was a Bkacksploitation star in the 70s. Robert Foster was as B star in the 60s and 70s.

I've seen this movie half a dozen times and never realized it says "Casting by Jaki Brown". It reminds me of snake eyes, where you have Kevin Dunn the actor and then gary sinise's character, Kevin Dunne.

Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (2003-2004), Inglorious Basterds (2009), and The Hateful Eight (2015) are my Top 5 Tarantino films. Starting with Django Unchained (2012) QT's films became too long and over indulgent, but it works with The Hateful Eight because the tension and mystery have time to build.

I can't rank Tarantino's films; love them all too much, even ones that seem too long and indulgent. The more I can get of a Tarantino flick the better. I am still not a huge fan of his foot fetish, but I can overlook some hideous women's feet for a few minutes.

Awesome reaction to an awesome film. You can see why Tarantino was so admired in the 90s. Despite all the f-words and n-words and despite all the graphic violence, Tarantino's films are essentially comedies. Jackie Brown is his third film, followed by Kill Bill, and then Deathproof, which I hope you cats get around to making a video about. Thanks, guys.

This is actually based on Elmore Leonard’s second novel about Ordell, Louis, and Melanie. The first was written in the 70’s and is called “The Switch.” It involves Ordell and Louis kidnapping a rich guy’s wife for ransom only to discover he doesn’t really want her back. Louis is more of the protagonist in that story. They are a great read back-to-back.

Yay, I've been waiting for this! My second favorite Tarantino after Once Upon a Time. I'm bad at following "who-betrays-who-movies" and people's intentions in them, so I get emotionally mixed up in a sort of "please don't lie, do they lie, don't believe them, argh argh argh!" loop. (What do you mean I have trust issues? Who told you about that?) I should rewatch IB so I'd know if I put that or Pulp Fiction on spot three. Bottom three: Hateful, Djanjo, Death Proof.

this is pretty much my exact order too, except i'd put JB first and OUATIH second. (basterds definitely third.) once upon a time is obviously a lot more stylized and cartoonish (in keeping with 21st c tarantino's whole vibe), but what unites the two movies for me is they're the only two that really deal with the kind of problems we all face, namely getting older, thinking your best years are behind you, dealing with regrets, and ultimately finding out that even late in life there are second chances. also one of the rare love stories in modern movies between two middle-aged people, which definitely means a lot more to me now than it did in 1997.

@@jessharvell1022 Also JB and OUATIH are the ones that feel actually sincere emotionally. I kind of dig JB’s groundedness more than anything else Tarantino had made, but like I said in my original comment, I’ve always had a hard time adjusting to plots of this sort. Might be it’ll grow on me if I rewatch it sometime. (Saw it first in -97 as a rabid fanboy and felt kinda let down. It’s definitely a more powerful experience now.)

If you want to see where much of the inspiration for this and some other Tarantino movies came from, I highly recommenr the Stanley Kubrick film "The Killing". It's a great early example of non linear storytelling and might have one or two familiar faces in it. Definitely up there as my favorite of his, next to "Dr. Strangelove".

brief explanation on Bail/bail bond companies: When you get arrested in US it can take a while before your case gets seen. A bail is set that gives you the option to leave jail until your court day, as long as you show up and don't run, you get ALL the money back at the end of your case regardless of the outcome. If you can't pay bail you have to stay until your court day which can be a long time. Bail bond companies offer to pay the bail for you (as most people don't have thousands to spare), but you pay them 10% and you don't get that back at the end of the case.
