Did you notice any other extra bits? I'm sure there are a couple of extra shots of Limb carnage in HOBL, on top of the extra Anime disembowelment of the Pedo Yakuza Boss.

I also noticed something fun: In the end of True Romance Clarence gets blood in his eye and he gets an eyepatch...
In Dogs Mr Brown gets shot and gets blood in HIS eye.
In Kill Bill, Elle Driver wears a patch on her eye.

Does that make sense?

WinslowLeach wrote:As much as QT steals things from other movies, I dont think anyone else puts things together cinematically as beautifully as he does. I think while it may come across as throwing things up onto the screen to some, theres most definitely always some thought behind it, whether its a tribute to other films/directors or something from his personal life.
I dont really like when people overanalyze movies to find some social or political meanings, but I do like watching QTs films to see all the interesting references to other films and to his own personal ideas.
burlivesleftnut wrote:Yes seriously. I have been entertained by every QT film (except Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction--I left out of boredom, no joke), but they are not that deep. Sorry. And as for study in every film school... who cares? I think that speaks more to the decline of western civilization than QT being some kind of second coming. I like his movies, but come on.
