Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dog's was a jewel heist film like many people had never gotten witness before... unless they'd already watched City On Fire, starring Chow Yun-Fat, five years earlier.

  • John Travolta: Do you know what they call a blatant ripoff in Tarantino-ville?

    Samuel Jackson: What?

    John Travolta: A Homage with Cheese

  • Pulp Fiction was a "homage" to noir novels and films from the 50s and 60s.

    Jackie Brown was a "homage" to blaxploitation films of the 70s. Kill Bill was a "homage" to martial arts movies. Inglourious Basterds was a "homage" to an Italian film of the same name. And now this. Jeez, it seems like Tarantino can't come up with anything original. Taking the plot from an old obscure movie doesn't make you a genius. Or maybe he doesn't know the difference.

  • hey. Shakespeare did it. Or sopposedly he did.

  • as long as its as good or better than the source material who gives a shit? after you've seen as many movies as Quentin has, i would imagine you'd start borrowing things from other movies too

  • good artists borrow, great artists steal

  • all of tarantino is homage

  • @iamductri He doesent steal anything he renews stuff. All these action hollywood crap films is stealing because they all steal from the previous action movies

  • It appears the word "homage" has change its meaning--- Also, that peculiar style of telling a story --dissected in different times (starting with Part 3, then Part 1 then part 5...) was used many years before in an old noir film from the 50's, directed by Stanley Kubrick: "The Killing." Tarantino's talent lays more on reviving "a Frankenstein" than "creating a Frankenstein"
