Kill Bill Vol. 1 was a reference fest. Vol. 2 was a spiral of violence and well-written dialogue.

Reservoir Dogs is the classic 'big heist that goes wrong' movie. Jackie Brown was his tribute to all those old Blaxploitation movies from the seventies.

He doesn't copy movies, he makes all these little and big references and tributes to them.


And if you think Smith is a better writer than Tarantino, you've never watched a Tarantino movie before. And if you have, you're not human.
Tributes and referenses? I f that's true explain why Kill Bill was just a gory random splatterhouse king-fu movie, right down to the shitty translated dialouge. And WTF is up with that Superman speech? If a drunken hobo had access to the best damn actors in hollywood, instead of his slacker friends, he could probably make a better movie. And if it was from the early 40's and 50's, how come it had references to the seventies (vietnam war, ass raped by hillbillies, cocaine). Reservoir Dogs was just that: a generic heist goes wrong movie. Right down to the hidden twist.
