Another Tarantino Fave?

The guy who plays the Prago character, Don Blakely, was also cast in Pulp Fiction as Wilson's trainer. Anyway, Tarantino probably has more favourites than anyone can count. Not the most relevant pursuit to try to find out if this is one of them.

This film has been very recently shown at The New Beverly in LA. Mr. Lustig, and Mr. Forster were there for a Q&A after the show.
Oh, and Mr. Tarantino owns the theater.

When the hooker comes outta the bathroom and shoots one of the protagonists (after which Fred Williamson LITERALLY blows her away into the bathtub), I was immediately reminded of that scene in Pulp Fiction where something very similar happens to Travolta and Sam Jackson. Also, from what I understand, Tarantino originally wanted William Lustig to direct True Romance. It turns all your bad feelings into good feelings, it's a nightmare!

To the Woman shot in to the Bathtub. I think (not 100% sure if it's the right Movie) this also happens in the beginning of "The 3 days of the condor" it's not the first Movie to use this. But it allways gets me as a image, it has something very unsettling. Maybe the pose the body ends up having. This Movie should be under every sane persons list of favorite Exploitation Movies. It even has the great Willie Colon in it, what more could you want, besides Williamson, Forster, Strode and the allways scares the .... out of me Spinell.

Let's not forget that when Tarantino first go into the business, the first person he took the screenplays for Natural Born Killers and True Romance to was Lustig. In fact, Lustig was signed on to direct True Romance; however, once the script got to a major studio (who'd be skeptical of someone like Lustig), and once Tony Scott expressed interest in the script (Revenge is one of Tarantino's favorite films), Lustig was booted and replaced.
