The pop culture references of Quentin Tarantino movies


3:00 PM on 01.03.2013



Quentin Tarantino's films have always been rife with references: movies, actors, bands, songs, comic books, and so on. The people over at College Humor have compiled a lot of these pop culture references into a five-minute namedrop-a-thon video.

Of course, this isn't every pop culture reference in Tarantino's filmography, just a lot of them made through the dialogue. To really get every one of the pop culture references, you'd also need to cite all the visual nods (e.g., the recreation of the shot in The Graduate in Jackie Brown) and all the audio cues as well (e.g., that little freak out song in Kill Bill lifted from Five Fingers of Death).

Regardless, it's a pretty cool compilation.

Deep Analysis: Django Unchained

Django Unchained is a peculiar film. It tip toes along a fine line between vigorous exploitation and gentle subtly. At times, it feels like it is fighting itself to decide what kind of film it wants to be. Does it want to be ...

Review: Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino and his style of filmmaking really don't need an introduction. With a directorial career spanning over two decades and eight films (not including the films he's co-written/produced/introduced/etc.), Tarantin...
