Release the Reservoir Dogs!
• Since his explosion onto the movie scene in 1991, Quentin Tarantino has proved to be one of the most influential directors of the modern age. With only his fourth film due to hit the big screen soon, we take a long, hard look at the career of a man who’s made shades, guns and buckets of blood even cooler than ever.
Kill Bill
• Uma Thurman and Tarantino reunite for the first time since 1994’s Pulp Fiction to make cinema magic and cut a lot of people’s heads off. But, as they reveal, it wasn’t all wine and roses – “I could’ve wrung his neck!” reveals Thurman, while Tarantino gives us his thoughts on cinema violence. As you might expect, he’s got quite a bit to say…
Reservoir Dogs
• Let’s go to work! Tarantino is joined by stars Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth to discuss the most impressive – and violent – directorial début of the last 20 years. From Keitel’s key role in getting it made, to the amazing reaction to its release, discover everything you need to know about four perfect killers and one perfect crime.
Pulp Fiction
• There’s no fiction like Pulp Fiction, as Tarantino and John Travolta discuss the inspiration behind, and making of, one of the most acclaimed films of the 20th Century. With dance sequences and rectally-fitted gold watches, it really is, the director insists, all about telling the story…
Jackie Brown
• Quentin sits down to tell us all about his homage to the great blaxploitation films of the Seventies, his love of Pam Grier and his tendency to cast himself in his own films – except Jackie Brown. “There wasn’t a part for me,” he says, “You better believe I wanted to act in it.”
And that’s not all! Not by a long shot from a sawn-off shotgun!
We talk to Tarantino’s collaborators and colleagues about his work on:
True Romance
• An early Tarantino script that became a Tony Scott film. The two and actors Patricia Arquette, Chrsitian Slater and Dennis Hopper tell us how a spec script from a video store clerk became a box office success!
 Natural Born Killers
• Tarantino and director Oliver Stone give both sides of the story on the infamous NBK debate – did Stone mercilessly mutilate a great script? Or did he simply reinterpret it through his eyes? “He might have made a masterpiece,” Tarantino concedes, “but I’ll never appreciate it. If he wanted to make my movie he should have made my movie.”
From Dusk Till Dawn
• As scriptwriter and actor, you’d expect Tarantino to be calling the shots as well… But instead Robert Rodriguez took the reins on the bizarre road movie-cum-vampire flick that became a cult smash! He tells us why Quentin, for once, wanted to stay in front of the camera…
With an examination of the films that have inspired Tarantino and a round up of Quentin-related DVD releases, this is a Special no fan of film can afford to be without!
Plus! Coverage of the forthcoming dvd release…
 The Matrix Reloaded
• With the advent of one of the most anticipated sequels ever hitting the shiny digital format, we took another look at its creation, including interviews with:
