flamy Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Daaaaang! Might end up being the first western I'll ever watch :ohmy:
Prakat Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 ^ Half the fun of watching a Tarantino movie is in seeing how he has referenced the other films of the genre! I'm pretty sure this one will have lots of Sergio Leone homages. :nice:
velu Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Eagerly waiting for it. :icflove: Pulp fiction is my all time fav movie and he has not given anything closer to it. But IMO Deathproof is his worst movie.

Watched it on VHS with him when I was 12 or so. even i know this cause my dad watched this. he sees a lot of all old westerns like the eastwood trilogy, magnificent 7 ones, a bullet for the geneal, sabata trilogy etc.
Prakat Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Same here. The man with no-name trilogy (eastwood/leone) magnificent seven, mackenna's gold the lot. Discovered the Japanese classics (Yojimbo and Sanjuro come to mind) later on. Those last two movies set the template for what would later become known as classic western tropes - the standoff in the climax scene in the middle of the town, the good-hearted wandering swordsman/gunslinger without a name. In fact, Yojimbo is copied almost scene for scene later into Leone's A Fistful of Dollars. Especially, Toshiro Mifune's interpretation of the badass, straw chewing and spitting out of the corner of the mouth wandering epitome of movie cool heavily influenced Eastwood in how he played his character in those seminal movies. It's amazing to think that what people all over the world saw as brash, bold American badassery, was born in a far-away movie location in Japan.
Prakat Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Yojimbo :hatsoff: hG-bIljVFLw Should duplicate post this on Flamy's manhood thread. :D
Swing_n_Speed Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Bahh would rather re-watch the original. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Ge2hmSTbo]Django (1966) - Trailer - YouTube[/ame] Got Elvis singing too.
Prakat Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 And the brilliant climax scene of Sanjuro NYbi7gKKvOo
