6 Movies You (Probably) Never Knew Quentin Tarantino Worked On
As Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" continues to capture our imagination (how many times have you seen it?), we thought it might be fun to look back at his smaller contributions to filmmaking. So small, in fact, that you might not even be aware of them.
'It's Pat: The Movie' (1994)
Yeah … it doesn't make sense. But then again, it sort of does. It's Pat" was co-written by Stephen Hibbert, Sweeney's ex-husband and the guy in the gimp costume in "Pulp Fiction."
Tarantino revealed in a 1994 Playboy interview that he did some uncredited re-writes on the movie but watching it, much like anyone dealing with the character of Pat, will be hopelessly confused.
'Crimson Tide' (1995)
The first script Tarantino ever sold was "Crimson Tide."
Tarantino's contributions are far more evident in this film than any of the others he anonymously worked on, from an early discussion of submarine movies, to later dialogue built around "Silver Surfer" comics and the original "Star Trek" series (surprisingly, Denzel Washington is a big Trekkie). He adds just the right amount of QT flavor to an otherwise standard (and totally brilliant) suspense movie.
'Curdled' (1996)
This is a weird one. Tarantino saw a short film by Reb Braddock and encouraged the director to turn it into a feature film, which he did (Tarantino produced it via his A Band Apart production company and released it through his Miramax-housed Rolling Thunder Pictures shingle). While Tarantino's interjections into the "George Clooney and Tarantino from that film).
Apparently, the Tarantino Cinematic Universe goes beyond Red Apple cigarettes and Big Kahuna burgers.
'The Rock' (1996)
While watching the finished movie, it's hard to tell, but Aaron Sorkin also provided additional work, along with (of course) Mr. Tarantino.
Again, it's hard to pick out what his contributions were, but "The Rock" is an action movie that ends with several characters having to inject themselves in the heart with adrenaline. Why does that sound so familiar?
'Girl 6' (1996)
It's weird to think of Tarantino and Girl 6," Lee's call girl comedy.
The movie isn't very good, aside from some well-placed Prince songs, and Tarantino isn't very good either, but it's worth watching as a pre-feud time capsule.
'Muppet Wizard of Oz' (2005)
Everything about "Kill Bill, Vol. 2" had just been released the year before.
Watching Tarantino yell at Kermit, while swinging a samurai sword around, is supposed to be off-putting but maybe not this off-putting. (On the DVD's special features, Tarantino says that the Muppets are some of his "favorite actors.") Well, Tarantino, you worked with the Muppets, check it off the list and move on.
