Quentin Tarantino talks about Xena

[Gabxe07]

Bring them back!!! join xena movie campaign on facebook!!! we need them back

[ShineyEyedNexus6]

Glad to see he loves the show, but he missed the absolute best thing about Xena: the comedy. The cast and crew were masters of slapstick, and Ted Raimi in particular is a god among men. Whether he was playing a wannabe warrior, a deadly assassin or a brush salesman posing as a French army officer, everything he did was comedy gold.

[Lukejoker3]

Lovwe how the guy talks hahahahah "that´s good shit" I imagine he would talk in the set sth like: " aaaand cut! that was FUcking amazing dude!!!!!!! "

[TheViva11]

I love that show. I was so sad Xena ended, I'm glad Quentin likes it...."That's just good shit"....lol. love it.

[Xyberfaust]

Xena ended perfectly. It actually ended with a movie.

But, yea, Quentin Tarantino would make a killer Xena movie. Though, he actually already did: Kill Bill. He even used Xena stunt double Zoe Bell for the Bride. He then cast Zoe Bell as a lead in Death Proof.

Kill Bill was also a pretty great representation of Xena. Killer woman with dark past tries to change her life. Even the child left behind to grow without her, though Xena was way darker. Kill The Bride (3) will be dark.

[fingerminger]

Last three seconds made me piss myself.

[Lukejoker3]

I enjoyed his comments. he looks like a nice and funny man. didn´t like Kill Bill.

[Lukejoker3]

mmm if he woudl do a Xena movie he has to have Bob tapert´s permission. plus he didn´t want a xena movie. noooooo quentin doing a Xena movie? u gusy r nutts. he woudl trasnform it into a kill bill type of movie. Kill Bill...booooooooring!!!!! except the fighting scenes. all those cartoon and stuff naaaa

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

@Lukejoker3 Its not Rob Tapert's permission he needs. Tapert doesn't own the rights to Xena, Universal does.

[Lukejoker3]

@JACKOSTiNKERBELL ooh I see...

[Prythia]

Hey anyone who wants a xena movie, go check out, join, and like the Xena 2011 Movie Campaign on facebook. We're going for 10,000 likes!

[JoJaDaRu]

No need for Tarantino to make a movie about it. He enjoys it, and it's just fine as is. Not every cool story needs to be done by Tarantino.

[5leafc1over]

I love Quentin, he is a movie making genius. But he talks like a 14 year-old valley girl, and then like.... ummm.... you know....alright.

[3spn4life]

Then make a movie!

[teflonsuperhero]

Quentin makes Xena movie, it goes from campy series to blood and gore action packed fest....I'd totally watch it!

[JACKOSTiNKERBELL]

@teflonsuperhero There was definitely blood and some gore on Xena.

[teflonsuperhero]

@JACKOSTiNKERBELL Oh I know, I love Xena. It definitely has a gore factor to it, but especially those first two seasons were campy as all get out ahha.

[TheGreyMushu]

Wellp, now I'm gonna go watch Xena, thanks a lot Quentin

[Stalky24]

thumbnail is just perfect

[oddysseuss]

Spoiler alert ffs!!!!

[oddysseuss]

Alright.

[luciferosirisarnold]

Make the Xena movie. Alright.

[freakyfish02]

yes xena is indeed good shit

[ggvlg]

xena actually DID get redemption in the finale.

[ragnarokvr1]

Quentin likes Xena. Quentin wins.

[TheCheweeRevolutions]

1:18 he looks mental

[mandowarrior123]

@TheCheweeRevolutions An IQ of over 200 probably means you aren't sane in the traditional sense.

[privettam]

*all rite



[PimpMyParadigm]

EXACTLY!! wonderwoman was spinning around like a ballerina and xena was kicking ass !!! XENA will never DIE there needs to be more!

[atalina08]

Gotta love Greek Mythology. Where is Lucy Lawless anyway? (notice her last name is epicness)

[ggvlg]

@atalina08 She is in Spartacus on Cable.

[humananus]

make a xena movie and let tarantino play the cameo role of hercules ;]

[M3RCxAndxAJACKS]

I seriously thought this was a scientology video for a second.

[Raksasa187]

i have always LOVED Xena!! and YES, QT should make a Xena movie!!!

[TheViva11]

@Raksasa187 I know. By the time they make one if they do they'll cast people bad actors that are so not worthy of playing the characters. I cant picture anyone right in this time playing Xena.

[TheValiance]

He always seems drunk.

[Kongkos]

Xena was THE show! The story, the action, the acting...Oh God..The tv at the best moments..It's exactly how Quentin says...Only few people can understand those things that he talks about...not the masses...

[smoothcriminal7033]

ALRIGHT

[waitingformypopcorn]

Quentin would make the best movie about a kick-ass female character with a dark past, am I right?

[5emtio4yra]

@waitingformypopcorn

I don't know if you were intentionally joking, but he already did -.-'

[waitingformypopcorn]

@5emtio4yra oh I didn't know that. pff >:/

[The1stPoster]

2:53

[sowhatdude1]

I love Quintin, now if he was only talking about idea & the story, then from his explanation of that idea then YES it does sound great ... BUT seriously, Xena was a JOKE, period end of story. A chick running around & doing the things Xena did is just WAY too ridiculous & over the top for anyone with a brain to swallow.

Xena SUCKED because it's asking people to suspend way too much disbelief to be able to enjoy the movie. If it were a male in the part, it'd be an entirely different story-

[jakelilman]

@sowhatdude1 Sexist dude. that is like saying seeing a girl fuck another girl is ok but a guy fucking a guy is just wrong... seriously. and how would making the lead character a male make it any less more ridiculous in your opinion? i think your being sexist there man.

[thekswervedirt]

Hercules was the shit as well.

[BloodworksProds]

Alright?

[shadoobiehole]

Xena is.. the FUNNEST, GREATEST show EVER.

[shadoobiehole]

I think i love this.

[thefuckincoolone]

he sounds very passionate and rightfully so XENA RULES i have series 1-3 on dvd and ill proberly end up buying all the series i love that show.

[93johnk]

holy shit i remember watching xena all those years ago and i remember loving it! its my favorite fantasy tv show ever!

[pitchthedevil]

Could he be more high? (sniff)

[lettybones]

@pitchthedevil people sniff way more than this if theyre tweakin

[pitchthedevil]

@lettybones Oh, I don't think QT is spun. I think he alternates blow and pot. If you watch footage of him ON a set, like, when he's filming a movie he's plump and a little slower; but when you see him AFTER production, doing interviews for the movie, he's always 10 pounds lighter and a lot more fidgety and babbling. My guess is that he puffed a J with a little coke on it an hour before this was filmed. For some HILARIOUS coked out Quentin moments, watch the interviews on "Death Proof".

[LicoriceLain]

@pitchthedevil I think you are reading too much into it.

[pitchthedevil]

@LicoriceLain I think you've never worked in the industry, oh and I don't care what you think. Thanks.

[notquiteafembot]

alright alright alright alright alright alright

lol I love Quentin.

[RelevantOne]

I just picked this show up, first time I've watched it in over 10 years, I wasn't around for the end. Gotta say I love it more now than I did during it's original run. Tarintino is dead on as far as I've seen so far. I'm up to season 4 right now.

[bboyever]

aaaaaa la la la lal ala

[XenaSoulmate]

Xena will rule forever !!! :D

[Vanwilhelmberghe]

alright?

[kevvie100]

Wow I never knew he was a Xena fan. he should do a Xena movie! I totally agree with everything he said about the xena/callisto thing.

[Xarfax321]

Watching Tarantino makes me proud of being a nerd.

(And I am NOT being sarcastic, I really think Tarantino is the living proof that it can be cool to be a nerd)

[moremoxi]

He's so right! Xena Rocks!! ...rocks...rocked...rocks...Yo­u know he's gotta have a lot of respect for Sam Raimi, for sure...Lucy Lawless is amazing...

[cathytreks]

Quentin please back us up on the presentation of the Xena video inspired by you and your Kill Bill? This would mean so much for everyone's rights to publish on You Tube now and in the future. Thank you all for your time.

Sincerely

Amy Marie Jennings Productions Ltd - Auckland New Zealand

[Megadeth916]

@cathytreks haha, Quentin himself didn't post the video if that's what you thought :-P

[cathytreks]

@Megadeth916 Oh...I did, no apology's though only the regret he wont read my post regarding Xena most likely. thanks.

[luv2snowbrd]

high five! 

[Snackay]

What a retard. Xena's backstory is "magnificent'. It was crappy TV, and that's all. How about Macbeth Plagiartino?

[cathytreks]

What a GREAT interview!!!

[ImmortalUniverse]

kalisto was such a hot women in xena ...

they why i loved to watch ,

:)

[leechchill]

he is such a nerd

[chandramukhi86]

"Magnificent. "  that's exactly the right word.

[chandramukhi86]

hell yeah!!!! Thank you man!!

[guitarcapo]

Also...Xena is incredibly hot.  I love the lesbian overtones

[xXAkridXx]

Make a Xena movie!!!

[MsSuperconductor]

@xXAkridXx YEAH DAMNIT QUENTIN MAKE A XENA MOVIE!

[TheHEAVYMETALHEAD]

alright!

[humananus]

let me sum this up. xena is a bitch.

[ggvlg]

@humananus

So are you.

[edson503]

"On the bride" ...

[P4P4]

does he is talking about the xina i know??

[gil166]

@P4P4 Xena rocked. It was a first

[isadr08]

hudson leick was indeed fantastic !!! and renee, u forgot to mention her? oh well maybe he hasn't watched season 6, cuz to me the plot was always to get gabrielle into being the ultimate great warrior, and for xena to find redemption

[isadr08]

here is a man that knows what he is talking about !!!

xena is the coolest. the best ! the most wonderful show ever !!!

I could only compare it's greatness with bsg and btvs (cuz it is my childhood show) and then legend of the seeker cuz it is created by the same ppl.

[brassmonkeyjew]

He's a misogynist. The only females characters he can relate to and respect are ones with male characteristics and traits... Essentially what he's saying is "I wish all women were like men except with tits and a puss instead of the wanker..."

[attila518]

@brassmonkeyjew God i wish all girls were really feministic sandwich making walking tits too. Totally submissive. Bimbos ftw right?

[soggywaffleman]

Haha sorry dude but you're way off

[dunstan8989]

so what male 'traits characteristics" are you talking about? the ability to defend themselves, smart, funny etc. he always says his movies aren't social comments anyway, but i think everyone would (or should) want women be portrayed as independant people not always damsel's in distress

[brassmonkeyjew]

@dunstan8989

NO!

[saulsberrysteak]

that guy totally smokes pot

i only over analyze like that when im high

[krazydude34]

isnt Xena that guy in scinentology?

[WlatPziupp]

Xenu. He is a scary spacemonster...

[robbinsillinois]

that shit was coldblooded i liked xena and she was sexy

[jst1998]

That's because Quentin sees things that the average person doesn't when they watch a movie or tv show. It's because of that sensibility that he can make great movies.

[heyitisjustme]

If Quentin Tarantino thinks xena's a great show....well I think that says it all =D

[onetrashdancer]

Quentin lets see how brave you are and answer me yourself little girly girl ????????????? = sissy mary = blow job= QT

[townsjim]

he has a great sense of humour

[MagicFingers001]

"That's just good shit!"

[onetrashdancer]

[ChromeGhost0219]

no you just prooved you dont know anything your saying "who would even bother to know that shit?" well you did but you dont know anything

[onetrashdancer]

@ChromeGhost0219 if you spoke your mind , you'd be speechless .

[ChromeGhost0219]

your insults still dont hide that you dont know what your talking about

[onetrashdancer]

@ChromeGhost0219 I wish I was as smart as you think you are . by the way don't let the facts get in the way of your opinions ?

[onetrashdancer]

@ChromeGhost0219 I bet you think theirs really a Santa Claus HA HA HA so sorry to break the news he's a fake just like your Idol sissy mary Quentin !

[ChromeGhost0219]

keep talking. it just shows how much shit your full of

[onetrashdancer]

@ChromeGhost0219 yes cream rises to the top , but so does the scum ! no names will be mention , little girly girl !

[ChromeGhost0219]

[onetrashdancer]

@ChromeGhost0219 sooooooo nice of you to pitty me , HA HA HA little fucking star struck pussy ,still pitty meeeeeeeeee

[EditingRoom3]

he should make a new Xena remake film

[thefloacist]

ONLY if Lucy Lawless is in it. I know he has the respect not to cast anyone else in the role.

[Atomsmasher777]

Sometimes he seems like he's coked up.

He's got more drive than most people.

[MsSuperconductor]

Oh Quentin, you are sooo right, I just said almost the same shit about Xena the other day...great minds truly do think alike =p.

[onetrashdancer]

If this dick did not become famous where would he be ?

[cstring420]

Even though, I admit, I don't like all of Tarantino's work, he's THEE man in blood and gore.

[wwefancutie]

I agree on the XENA: THE MOVIE thing. Trantino has grea ides that can make it an unblievable movie.

[dembo91]

He explains exactly what xena is in this interview and he is right, although it started 10year ago you can still watch it in the future, i do now and still enjoy it.

[cstring420]

The episodes before all the haircuts are enjoyable, anyway.

[suyingoh]

So how about making a retro--- XENA THE MOVIE? TARANTINO got great ideas, so why not?

[Reindrich]

i would have cast lucky lawless as the bride in Kill Bill.

[rsuper510]

This guy is an amazing storyteller and has passionate perspectives

[natos99]

Bruce Campbell King of thieves is the best character i watch Xena just waiting for his character to come in i prefer hercules more but yeh xenas allright

[Mazartz]

Agree with you 100% Quentin! The great thing about Xena was that she was so flawed but still wanted to believe in the Greater Good and that it really meant something. She lost her way in life so badly but in finding her way back, she manages to change lives, including her own, for the better. As long as she had Gabrielle beside her as her safe guard, she might bend but she would never break.

[ACRTGATB]

Hahaha...smoke another doobie Quentin!

[pbrskater26]

do you think quentins a toker?

[Reindrich]

Does he say "allright" every 5 seconds?

[shanster48]

Every 3 seconds, and yes it's adorable. His trademark.

[McNugget06]

haha nice way to catch on

[Pliskin37]

Now I now what inspired Kill Bill.

[sebby1962]

Lady Snowblood was the inspiration for QT's Kill Bill

[buddyholly429]

Among other movies...like a TON of other movies. :)

[Nepthu]

Tarantino knows Xena! And he lists all the great reasons to watch it. Awesome!

[Reindrich]

i always had a stiffie when i watched Xena. :-)

[gobais53]

ehh Xena ownsss . IT is good for the 90´s .. And IT was a hit show.. One of the most watched shows in the 90´s and the beginning of 2000..

[bukkake999]

Its not because something is popular or successful that it is necessarily goodI mean the Brady Bunch was one of the most popular and viewed shows of the 70s that doesnt make it good (or at least what I think is good lol )its cheesy.

[gobais53]

U got a point there. But still Xena Is liked by so many people. I Loved it Long time ago, and I still Love it. But When I look at it now it is a little bit Cheesy. But still, that was the 90´s almost everything was cheesy. It´s a good show, for that time. But anyways as Quentin points out, the basic Xena idea is fantastic. Think what you could do today with it. Immagen Xena, with an awsome story line and awsome special effects, like they had inte the movie 300.

[cdowg187]

Lucy Lawless is the absolute perfect candidate for Wonder Woman, or at least Wonder Woman's mother.

[organs]

I love when he geeks out ;)

[Smileypal22]

lol i know! hes amazing :)

and i think hes sort of sexy too :) it might just be his immense talent that im turned on by though, i dont know

[katrineGIRL]

Just give us that movie Tarantino! You'll be perfect for the job!

[lulanne]

Carrement!!= Evidently!! thanx for your support for a quentin T movie for xena!!

[EricPP13]

He needs to make the xena movie! He gets everything. He's a callisto lover just like me and like a million others. Quentin for the Xena movie Director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XenahWP]

Yes, only Callisto lovers like you both could say such things about Xena, your so absolutelly wrong, thanks gods they ain't making any movie at all if is gonna be like that, they already killed Xena waaay too many times, if I have to watch the same shit again I prefer they let that character to "rest in peace" and look for any other to slaughter for once...

[lulanne]

i'm not especially a callisto's lovers!! but i'm sure that callisto did not exist whithout xena and xena whithout callisto!!that's why i love when quentin says "that's a great conflict!!"

[XenahWP]

Xena would exist anyway, I mean w/out callisto, though obviously she wouldn't b the same w/out Caesar or the warlord who attacked her hometown + killed her little brother when they were just teenagers; not so sure about Callisto, as maybe ANY thing makes a good excuse 4 such a deranged bitch 2slaughter every living being she find in her way. I disagree with most of what that guy say, but what annoys me the most is when he say Xena deserves no "redemption" coz she's so bad and all that bullshit.

[lulanne]

of course she doesn't deserve any redemption!!the entire series is based aboved!!Xena's guilt!!and that's the reason why she met gabrielle!! gabby is the truly good part of xena

[Zwartekaka]

He really sees things that other people don't even notice.

[off2mianus]

lulanne. Stupid? You're stupid. Have have nothing against his films, I think he's strange the way he talks even though you want to suck his cock and get stoned on his anal pubes if you can. Then you say, "heavy shit"!

[off2mianus]

Why does he always act as if he's doing sign language when he talks? If somebody tied his hands behind his back he wouldn't be able to talk.

[lulanne]

stupid!!!

[lulanne]

QUENTIN FOR A MOVIE XENA!!! he understood everything!!
