THE BAD ASS MAMA JAMA BIG DADDY OF ALL MOVIES!

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2000)

Quentin Tarantino struck mega paydirt with this little diddy of a movie. And invented, or perhaps, re-invented a whole genre of film. Tarantino is perhaps the most derivative filmmaker in history, but much like rap music, Tarantino has taken the art of ripping off other people's ideas and making them fresh and cool.
The shoots out and wiseguys in black suits with skinny ties? That's straight outta John Woo and Scorsese. The pop culture references? That's Godard. The trippy way the film jumps back around in time? Jim Jarmusch and Kurosawa did it first. Despite all of this Tarantino has made a brilliant film. You don't just see 'Pulp Fiction'. You drink it, eat it, bleed it, breathe it, savour it, spit it out and ask for more. You can dig that can'tcha?
