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.
