Can't believe I missed it in Blues Brothers but when Bob and the Good Old Boys chase after Jake and Elwood in Bob's truck the other Good Old Boys are all crammed into the top of the truck camper above the cab.

In The Lost World: Jurassic Park when Ian and his survivors reach the operations building, there's a really cool panning shot that begins with them walking past the ribcage of a dead dinosaur before transitioning to an industrial path that evokes a ribcage only made of metal.

There's that, Mr Blond and Vic being brothers, stuff like that. It's never important to the plot but it's fun to catch that kind of stuff and see how long various ideas have been kicking around in his head. oldpainless posted:This is more of an appreciation thing but in Law and Order, they really capture how New York is an absolute shithole I lived in NYC for a little while and it really nailed the feeling of the city, which is definitely an absolute shithole. But they got it down to the lighting and background noise.

I've heard an amusing theory that all Tarantino movies are in a shared universe where the assassination of Adolf Hitler caused significant cultural differences.

Yeah, I'm familiar with this theory too and it's his directed movies, not the other ones he's helped make (he wrote the screenplay for From Dusk Till Dawn, FYI). But it's a theory that only really circulated after Inglorious Basterds, and Django Unchained naturally kinda threw it.

In the Tarantino universe, the death of Hitler by the Inglorious Basterds leads to a timeline where Jimmy can casually drop N-bombs in Pulp Fiction on front of Jules.

It's pretty much irrelevant for the stories of, say, Once Upon A Time or Pulp Fiction how World War II ended in their fictional history, too. In terms of impact on his movies, these Tarantino connections aren't nearly all they're cracked up to be. Like, this isn't "a universe" the same way the Marvel movies are "a universe". I do want to see Tarantino doing the next Star Trek movie like he's rumoured to. The effort to mentally integrate that should keep quite a few nerds busy and off the street.

If Tarantino directs a Star Trek the whole preproduction will be filled with fan theories of what alien species is "the black one." Or how to say the n-word in Klingon.

Another counterpoint, or point, or... whatever it would be at this point, but there's the Alabama (from True Romance, which was not directed by Tarantino) reference in Resevoir Dogs. I think it's safe to say that TR and RD are in the same universe. Also, doesn't someone in Pulp Fiction call Joe? Resevoir Dogs related: does anyone else remember a theory that there were two cops, and the other one was Mr Pink? I had heard something about, at the very end, when he runs out, in some versions, you can see captioned audio that reads 'Don't shoot, I'm a cop!'

The original script for Reservoir Dogs had Mr White partnered with someone named Alabama, but the context makes it almost impossible that it’s the same Alabama in True Romance. Conversely it’s not a stretch that the unseen Bonnie from Pulp Fiction is the same nurse that Nice Guy Eddie is thinking of calling for Mr Orange.

He said this in an interview: quote:“There’s the realer-than-real universe, all right, and all the characters inhabit that one. But then there’s this movie universe. And so From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill, they all take place in this special movie universe. So basically when the characters of Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, when they go to the movies, Kill Bill is what they go to see. From Dusk Till Dawn is what they see.” I think Inglourious Basterds is in the latter just going off the tone.

Kill Bill is just live action anime. (and sometimes just anime) I really wanna see how he handles Star Trek, because that franchise really needs some weird poo poo to mix it up.

I've heard people offer that Keitel's Mr. White is The Wolf from Pulp FIction but I can't make the timeline work out. White dies in Reservoir Dogs and doesn't act anything like the calm, cool collected problem solver he's shown to be in PF, which obviously would have come first, but it's still neat to think about.

One plausible Tarantino fan theory I remember was that the organist played by Sam Jackson that gets killed during The Bride's wedding was Jules under an alias after he quit being a hitman.

Pretty contorted. Much more straightforward that Rufus is an old Texas musician who played with all those acts over the years (and happens to be played by the same actor as a different film) than to invent that. Occam’s Razor and all.

All these "same actor = same character" theories seem to me to point to a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of movies. I would go so far as to suggest there's a minor cognitive disorder at work.

I don't think it's a useful approach to thinking about fiction to essentially ignore that it's fiction and produced with the ressources of the real world. If you meticulously track the convoluted theoretical biography of a man who is both unusually long-lived and looks uncannily like the real-world actor Brad Pitt across 30 movies while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge that Brad Pitt simply gets cast in a lot of movies, I'm afraid you will come off looking a bit loopy.
