The most obvious influence that Tarantino took from the classic 1955 film noir Kiss Me Deadly is the mysterious glowing briefcase, which first appeared in Robert Aldrich’s movie. But the general pulpy tone of this movie heavily influenced Pulp Fiction. Tarantino also modeled the character of boxer Butch Coolidge after Ralph Meeker’s portrayal of Mi...
If all those pesky dialogue scenes didn’t get in the way of Jules and Vincent’s cold-blooded killing of Marsellus’ targets, then what would remain is something resembling cult hit The Boondock Saints. Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus (aka young Indiana Jones and Daryl Dixon) star as two badasses who become vigilantes after killing two Russian...
The long development of Pulp Fictionbegan with Tarantino and Roger Avary writing a short film in the hopes that it would be easier to get funded than a feature. Realizing that no producers were making shorts, the project morphed into an anthology movie telling three different stories. RELATED: The 10 Best Anthology Movies Ever Made The primary insp...
Directed by Doug Liman and written by John August, Go is one of the best Tarantino knockoffs. Much like Pulp Fiction, it revolves around three intertwining storylines featuring three groups of characters. The pacing is fast and furious, the ensemble cast is spectacular, the stories are driven by snappy dialogue, and the humor is super dark (althoug...
Tarantino got the idea for a crime scene cleaner — who became the Winston Wolf character in “The Bonnie Situation,” Pulp Fiction’s third and final story — from Curdled, a short he once saw at a film festival. He cast the short’s lead, Angela Jones, as cab driver Esmeralda Villalobos in Pulp Fiction and later helped the filmmakers behind Curdledto p...
Guy Ritchie brought the gangster antics of Pulp Fiction to the streets of London with Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, a crime thriller that made him one of the UK’s most popular filmmakers overnight. Just like the Tarantino-helmed classic, Lock, Stock has a pitch-black comic sensibility and an ensemble cast featuring a mixture of established ...
Although the two dances are very different, the Jack Rabbit Slim’s dance sequence in Pulp Fiction was strongly influenced by a similar scene in Jean-Luc Godard’s Bande À Part, dubbed “the Madison scene,” in which the characters spontaneously begin dancing in a café. RELATED: 10 Movies That Influenced Wes Anderson The exact dance moves weren’t copie...
Long before he was helming massive-scale Mission: Impossible movies, Christopher McQuarrie made the transition from writing to directing with The Way of the Gun, a cult classic starring Benicio del Toro and Ryan Phillippe and featuring James Caan in a scene-stealing supporting role. Like much of Tarantino’s work, The Way of the Gun is a genre riff,...
Mia and Vincent’s flirtatious dialogue is right out of a Howard Hawks screwball comedy. Mia’s line “Mind rolling me one of those?” is taken directly from Hawks’ 1940 classic His Girl Friday, which Tarantino ranks among his favorite films of all time. Tarantino originally wrote that storyline as part of an early screenplay for a crime movie, but nev...
Perhaps the most blatant of the many Pulp Fiction rip-offs, Things to Do in Denver When You’re Deaddesperately tries to emulate the tone of Tarantino’s masterpiece without any of the freshness, individuality, or artistic substance. Andy Garcia stars as Jimmy the Saint, an ex-gangster who’s roped into another job with some fellow hitmen by his old b...
- Destiny Turns on the Radio (1995) - 4.6. Funnily enough, Tarantino actually appears in this Pulp Fiction inspired film, inspiring many conversations. Though every time Tarantino has appeared in his own movies hasn’t hurt the movie too much, it might not have been the best move in this case.
- The Big Hit (1998) - 6.1. Starring Mark Wahlberg during his rise to taking over Hollywood in the late 90s, The Big Hit is much sillier than Pulp Fiction, but it completely embraces it and is what sets it apart from the 1994 classic.
- 2 Days In The Valley (1996) - 6.5. 2 Days In The Valley is an almost paint by numbers version of Pulp Fiction, only the filmmaker painting is going outside the lines and using the wrong colors.
- Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead (1995) - 6.8. Being another entry with some star power behind it, Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead stars Andy Garcia, Steve Buscemi, and even Christopher Lloyd.
- The Killing. Like Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick generated fervor and controversy throughout his career. Kubrick was unafraid to take bold risks that made viewers uncomfortable, and frequently experimented with unusual story structures.
- From Dusk till Dawn. Tarantino has a longstanding friendship with filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. Both writer-directors share an affinity for western and pulp films, and together they co-directed the 2007 double-feature presentation "Grindhouse."
- Get Shorty. "Pulp Fiction" revitalized John Travolta's career. While Travolta gave early breakthrough performances in edgy projects like 1977's disco drama "Saturday Night Fever" and 1981's neo-noir thriller "Blow Out," his career declined in the late '80s thanks to a series of critical duds and box office failures.
- Arkansas. Tarantino referenced pulp crime stories when crafting the narrative of "Pulp Fiction," reimagining the hard-boiled tales he adored growing up through a darkly comedic lens.
