The A To Z Of Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is back on the big screen with Inglourious Basterds, his spaghetti-spawned homage to classic war movies that does to the Nazi Party what Pulp Fiction did to pawnshop ownership. To mark the occasion, we've assembled a compendium of classic Tarantino tricks and trademarks in celebration of the world's biggest geek director. Welcome to the alphabetical anthology of a true movie original...

The A To Z Of Quentin Tarantino | Kung Fu
The A To Z Of Quentin Tarantino | Kung Fu

Kung Fu

Decadent West met mystical East and got its ass kicked in this classic '70s series, in which shaolin-trained steppenwolf Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine) roams the Old West, armed only with his native cunning and a silky dressing gown. Along with fellow wushu wizard Gordon Liu and Sonny Chiba, Carradine's appearance helped turn Kill Bill 1 & 2 into a 'spot the homage' competition for martial arts fans. Carradine even brought along one of his Kung Fu souvenirs: the flute he played in the series. The fact that both Liu and Carradine get served in two-parter shouldn't detract from Tarantino's love letter to kung fu.

5 Original?

Interesting ... Tarantino does acknowledge his own influences, but his style is still his own. So, does this make him a post-modern auteur, or could he be more easily described as an auteur working withing a post-modern world. Read More

6 A True Movie Original...

Good feature... but for a man who more than wears his influences on his sleeve I don't think the term 'original can be applied! Oh and if you speak to him tell him to stop making films in chapters! Read More
