r/pulpfiction

After making his debut film, Reservoir Dogs, and before working on his second feature, Pulp Fiction, Tarantino had signed on with Showtime to make a television film (made-for-TV) for their anthology series, Rebel Highway, aka “…a 10-week series of 1950s drive-in classic B-movies remade with a '90s edge.”

Tarantino chose Roger Corman’s 1957 Rock All Night as his remake (you can see a poster of the movie on the wall at Jack Rabbit Slim’s in Pulp Fiction—look closely). But Tarantino got cold feet when an overzealous producer said they’d release the remake in theaters, and Tarantino said, “No theaters—just for television. Then I can make Pulp Fiction for theaters afterward.”

Robert Rodriguez directed the best remake of the bunch, Roadracers, starring David Arquette and a pre-Desperado Salma Hayek. All the other 9 movies in the series kinda suck. But Tarantino would’ve made a killer remake. He was obsessed with Rock All Night, which is a fun movie. Imagine a movie that takes place entirely in Jack Rabbit Slim’s…basically…with mobsters and rockabilly music

Esmarelda: "What does it feel like?"

Butch: "What does what feel like?"

Esmarelda: "Killing a man. Beating another man to death with your bare hands."

Butch: "Are you some kinda weirdo?"

Esmarelda: "No, it's a subject I have much interest in. You are the first person I ever met who has killed somebody. So, what was it like to kill a man?"

I'm assuming he went back to Butch's apartment after his adventure at the pawn shop. He's given Butch his word that he'll let him live if he vacates LA tonight and forever. Then he gets back to the apartment and finds a very dead Vincent. When he puts two and two together, does he keep his word, or put a new hit out on Butch?

Thought I would share some guys I made on wwe2k
