I met John Carpenter like 20 years ago when The Thing PS2 game launched at E3. I got his autograph and asked what he would direct next. He said, “I dunno. Maybe I’ll direct porn.” And me and my friends all died laughing.
I think what make Practical effect good even if it's bad, if you see a bad CGI, you see a image over a video, but if you see a "bad" practical effect, you can still feel like it's real since it's technically IS real
The Thing is a brilliant film. Just like Alien. We had so many good movies with great actors back then. Movies weren't reliant on visual FX as much. Because everything wasn't shown to you on a platter, you became a participant in the film. I gotta watch Hateful Eight again, because I only saw it once. I remember Tarantino using Morricones score, and I remember a couple things, but I think if I revisit it I will be really entertained by it again.
The Hateful Eight is like Tarantino's "The Thing" even more than Resevoir Dogs! I hadn't thought much about the parallels until now. Cheers for the video, mate!
Best movie ever made practically, also has one of the best audio commentaries of any movie. Came out the exact same year as another gem, a little indie film known as BLADE RUNNER.
It is amazing that Tarantino's movie The Hateful Eight ALSO has the paranoia of the characters being trapped in an enclosed space while the outside is a brutal freezing climate that keeps them inside clustered. The other similarities are having Kurt Russell star and Ennio Morricone compose the soundtrack.
For years, I could not tell you which of Tarantino's films was my favorite; I always put them on the same level. And if pressed to answer I would say "whatever movie of his I've watched most recently is my favorite." But after a while, after watching his movies over and over and over I finally landed on one...Tarantino's Hateful Eight is the best.
Interesting to hear the parallel, never made the connection prior between The Thing & Reservoir Dogs (along with The Hateful Eight). From my formative pipsqueaks to the fanatic movie binging days up till my current adulthood, The Thing has always remained among my absolute favorite movies up to this day.
I first watched the thing with a mate in his flat which was one of the first to be occupied on an otherwise empty new build estate and the heating wasn't working and it was freezing. Could not quite believe what I was watching, great movie.
You know what else influenced Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs? 1987's City On Fire Directed by Ringo Lam. It's about a cop that infiltrates a group of thieves determined to rob a jewel store but are interrupted by the police and then mayhem ensues.
I’ve loved this movie for decades. Last year a local theater showed it as part of an alien film fest. I can attest that the experience of being sucked into the characters’ paranoia is amplified when watching on the big screen in a dark theater. I imagine what it was like in 1982 for an audience that didn’t already know the story
Not my favorite horror movie but objectively, the best horror movie ever. Kinda like how The Matrix everyone admits is one of best movies ever even if not their cup of tea
The Thing had great set design and sound design. Somehow Carpenter and his crew just hit it perfect. Sound does a lot to ratchet up the anxiety and fear.
Although I wasn't forced to watch The Thing as a child, the thing is, The Thing was amazing! That's the Thing! In my family, there was no Recommended Age Limit when ewatching movies
This is the only film I have ever actually felt scared watching and I mean the only one after 56 years it takes a lot to get me' to get scared with things that cant be explained in life and this film just hits the mark.
Reservoir Dogs and to a much greater extent, The Hateful Eight. Small group of isolated people in a remote snowy environment, suspicion, paranoia, killings, Kurt Russell, and a final scene with 2 soon to be dead dudes! Tarantino LOVES The Thing.
The only part I think could be changed is the opening with the spacecraft. Finding the saucer in the ice later would be far more impactful if you don't know it's coming.
I think what makes the Thing so scary is it's easy to identify with all the characters and you fear for them because of the terrible fate that awaits them. It's easy to imagine yourself or someone you know in their position.
The Thing... In the summer of 1983 I had no place to go and nothing to do, except watch The Thing on HBO and Showtime. So I did, more than once. I was 12. The movie terrified me. For the reason Tarantino describes here and more than that. When you're 12, a creature like that seems biologically plausible (sort of a new cellular growth, cells that destroy animal and human cells, they assume the shape and form of what they're attacking), and in part because of that movie, I took AP bio in high school and majored in biology in college, because I just wanted to be sure I didn't have to worry about being attacked, killed, devoured, assimilated by The Thing.
Fujitora wasn't trying to cut the birdcage. Don't know if he could or not but his whole thing was letting the pirates and country do the work. Would be interesting if his gravity could've opened the strings enough for people to escape
3:15 Here's The Thing; that wasn't a prop guitar, that was a real antique worth tens of thousands of dollars. But considering you're watching a video of Tarantino talking about one of if not the greatest horror movies of all time probably you knew that already.
I’m afraid I must respectfully disagree with Mr Tarantino. It is my opinion that it was actually the TENSION in “The Thing”, that was so palpable. It was bouncing back and forth so much that it had no where else to go except INTO THE AUDIENCE!! Just my two cents.
The Thing probably got a lot of those elements from The Shining, paranoia driven by a claustrophobic setting where people are trapped because they're surrounded by cold and there's a sort of impostor version of a family member that wants to kill the others, obviously some of that is also in The Thing From Another World but just how it's visually realized is so similar to The Shining as well.
There was something i didn't like about hateful 8 the first time. Couldn't put my finger on it. On rewatch i was like oh fook its a stage play! And now i love it.
Hey JWBS, you should double check your audio export settings. Last couple videos have had audio that overwhelms the talking in a way that doesn’t feel intentional. Could be an audio channel routing thing? Or maybe it’s a TH-cam thing, and only I’m experiencing it. Oh well.
This is the Remake which is a very good remake But what about the Original Movie in the 50's? I have been watching Movies for 6 Decades and in my educated opinion, the original Movie was one of the best Sci-Fi movie ever made! Yes, short on special effects but a Great B&W Movie, with a great Cast!.
Nah. In the thing fear, distrust and claustrophobia was shared by the audience. In reservoir, "the distrust and claustrophobia" was in quentin's and his characters' head. We knew who the cop was, we knew he was shot, and the distrust of others wasn't palpably shared by the audience, it was merely observed/enjoyed
Two horror movies will aways be the best to me, Carrie and the Thing. I will always judge all others to them. I grew up in the 80's slasher films and they couldn't hold up to Carrie/The Thing.
Two main problems with this movie. 1 it’s only half of a movie, clearly there was a sequel planned. So we never find out what it is or how to stop it. 2 the characters fighting each other and how they don’t act like scientists. Some panic would be fine but at no time do these actors come across as scientists.

The Thing is a masterpiece, and will be remembered as such for ever.
The thing is, The Thing is one of the greatest horror movies of all time
Nobody can say you don't know a thing about 'The Thing!'
You know the thing I love about The Thing? Everything! Lol
I agree with the thing you said
Arguably, THE greatest horror movie.
Stellar SFX, Lovecraftian horror, pure paranoïa and total helplessness of the location,...
@@slckb0y65you’ll love the remake then!
I really enjoyed hearing Quentin Tarantino saying the same thing four times.
Same Thing*
Yeah it was great hearing him say the same thing four times
😂
Like when the tension breaks through the fourth wall and into the audience?!
I really enjoyed hearing Quentin Tarantino saying the same thing four times.
When I first saw Hateful 8, I said to my friends "It's basically a re-make of The Thing"
And they all LAUGHED at me!
They laughed because they're dumb.
Really? It seems so obvious. Hell, even some of the music is the same
SAME!
Fuck I feel so dumb lol
Well, look who's laughing now.
I met John Carpenter like 20 years ago when The Thing PS2 game launched at E3. I got his autograph and asked what he would direct next. He said, “I dunno. Maybe I’ll direct porn.” And me and my friends all died laughing.
Can you imagine what a John Carpenter porno would be like?! _Jesus Christ . . ._
That's awesome 💯
The lack of CGI back in those days made for much better and more realistic special effects. The good old days.
I think what make Practical effect good even if it's bad, if you see a bad CGI, you see a image over a video, but if you see a "bad" practical effect, you can still feel like it's real since it's technically IS real
Agreed
Yea now they’d rather shove politically correct programming down your throat than actually tell a story
My all-time favorite horror flick. John Carpenter's magnum opus and my favorite Kurt Russell character aside from Snake Plissken.
Same, i was about to say this movie and Escape From New York are Kurt Russell gems
Jack Burton is my favorite of all time.

Only difference being that it‘s shit.
@@Bale4Bond I disagree with you, on the internet of all places. Imagine that!
@@Bale4Bond The Hateful Eight is an incredible movie!
HATEFUL EIGHT is my favorite Tarantino movie...and I love virtually all of his movies.
CLOSE THE DOOOOOR!!!!!
The film is a showcase for the charm of the use of practical-effects at its remarkable best.
Practical effects are what digital effects want to be when they grow up.
Really enjoy Tarantino's perspectives. Thanks.
Best movie ever made practically, also has one of the best audio commentaries of any movie. Came out the exact same year as another gem, a little indie film known as BLADE RUNNER.
Great year for Sci-Fi overall
The Jon and Kurt commentary is amazing.
@@kromlok IT IS!!! It's hysterical. The story about Kurt Russell trolling John Carpenter by covering himself in bandages comes to mind😁😁😁.
@@pierceholston6639 the chemistry is real natural. You can tell their buddies. The evil dead commentary is another great one.

Fantastic movie. Still holds up and gets better as time goes on
Nice work putting all the helicopter footage over the sound of the helicopter that was apparently flying over Quentin's head that day 😂
Indeed. Very slick edit.
Right? Excellent work.
I'm imagining The Thing rehearsing its commode story.
BRB gonna watch The Thing + Resevoir Dogs back to back
Love all the recent posts to celebrate spooky season! Thanks!
and 'the thing' is miles miles better and more interesting than hateful eight.
The Hateful Eight is a boring, overly long, drag.
but still it worked for me . I had the same frightening feeling that glued me to the screen, even though I watched it at home.
Way shorter, too, and that’s to its benefit!
I liked the Hateful Eight but the Thing is a Masterpiece.
I’m in the minority but I loved the Hateful Eight. The Thing seeing that at 12 years old in a theatre did a number on me. A masterpiece .
Hateful Eight had The Thing vibes all through it and I loved it for that.
Never got that with Reservoir Dogs until I watched this.
It’s so funny that Tim roths character literally says „The thing - mf is the thing!“
You know he was talking about a comic book character, right?
@@nunyabusiness3666 double meaning
@@nunyabusiness3666 yeah sure but it can’t be a coincidence. QT smuggled that in for sure
Tarantino is the Eighties video kid we all were back then. When libraries died and video rental stores took over!
Seeing it tonight on the big screen for the second time that way. Saw it over 42 years ago when it first came out.

Cool, my 2nd favorite director (QT) talking about my favorite director (JC).
Man the fact that QT loves The Thing and Alien is mind blowing, my two favourite films.

I saw this on VHS at my uncle’s house when I was 8 years old. Probably explains a lot
freakd me out when younger..loved it..liked the newer remake also
The newer remake presequel was just an average movie to ok at best.
He tried to remake one of his favorites early in his career, he mastered it years later with the Hateful Eight.
Reservoir Dogs and to a much greater extent, The Hateful Eight. Small group of isolated people in a remote snowy environment, suspicion, paranoia, killings, Kurt Russell, and a final scene with 2 soon to be dead dudes! Tarantino LOVES The Thing.
Four audio bites of QT saying the same damn "Thing"
The joys of doing 200 mini interviews on a press tour.
In my top 10 list.
The only part I think could be changed is the opening with the spacecraft. Finding the saucer in the ice later would be far more impactful if you don't know it's coming.
I think what makes the Thing so scary is it's easy to identify with all the characters and you fear for them because of the terrible fate that awaits them. It's easy to imagine yourself or someone you know in their position.
That was one WILD flick.
using the helicopter footage over the polluted interview audio was really clever
The things my favourite film ever
I like how Tarantino sticks to lines of dialogue when explaining certain films hahaha
Tarantino likes feet

Reservoir Dogs could say is also a remake like The Thing and a better version than City On Fire.
The Stallone movie Eye See You is similar also.
Reservoir Dogs are really The Thing, said Mr. Orange
please take everything QT has with a piece of salt. he is a simple man who knows a lot about cinema
The Thing is one of those rare remakes that is actually better than the original.
There are two cosmic horror movies that for me are the best ever made: The Thing and Alien
This film was a huge influence on the Hateful Eight.
