I am Italian at one hundred percent and what Tarantino tries to do an Italian accent I really like, not is superb like other directors and it is very sweet
As much as I love Tarantino - he's not right about Nightmare City. David Cronenberg's 1977 film Rabid was the first "infected people" movie where they also ran. Nightmare City came out in 1980. But Planet Terror is more like that film than Rabid, which 28 Days Later really took a lot from.
He's talking about artistic integrity, not trying to offend your pride as a composer nor the relative merits of talented music composers and the work they do.
His stance on composers is contradictory and perhaps even stupid,the reason he is able to pick and choose from composers of the past,is that someone decided to give them that power to create great themes in their movie,if everyone reasoned in such an arrogant petty way,there would be no Morricone,Hermann or Williams(to name a few) to "borrow" from.
Ennio Morricone's score for "Once Upon a Time in the West" was in the can before anything was shot. Leone based his scenes on the rhythm and impact of the score. Why doesn't QT (who used Morricone in "Inglorious Basterds") try this method? Might work for him AND would be original for once.
Quentin I would love you to do a big-budget and badass remake of Nightmare City, or even dabble into do a fulci "zombie" re-adaptation. Come on man - give it a go!
I didn't mean he has messages to relay to us. He has something to say in terms of originality. To watch his movie doesn't give to me the impression of having wasted my time and a lot of movies nowadays give me this feeling. Tarantino's movies are just an interesting experience.
Quentin should write and direct an out and out horror film. (Death Car doesn't count) With guys like Fulci and Lenzi influencing him, I don't understand why he hasn't.
Haha...I have to say I understand him pretty well...or, I used to, perhaps my mindset is a little different nowadays...but I used to wonder how directors in general have been fine with film composers writing their film scores since ages...even someone like Orson Welles...I mean...it does give them quite a bit of power over the film...they can change its mood entirely...
...and, in my opinion, many films are fine with little to no music...and that's coming from someone who came to like instrumental music precisely because of film scores, haha...that said, there are some really moving film scenes I can think of that wouldn't be the same without the music...at any rate, I'm guessing this is pre-The Hateful Eight...
Well, as I understand it, Hostel was written and directed by Eli Roth, so that doesn't count. Kill Bills 1/2, and Deathproof, (although I wouldn't deny they have their moments) are both pretty thin concerns.
Milano odia: la polizia non può sparare aka Almost Human You can't really tell me Tarantino could ever come close to that. Remember Lenzi is primarily a exploitation director so of cause he has made his fair share of trash but there some hidden gems in there. His work clearly holds an quality of originality that Tarantino hasn't got. To put it short Quentin has never had his own style & its alway be plagiarized, this is a clear fact, hence forth some people feel his is contrived.
Awfully pretentious... I used to love the guy & his films (kinda still do for the films) but the man is just out of his mind and is just incredibly egocentric
@drwalpurgis What do you mean the bloke is wrong? He's just giving you the reason why he doesn't like using original composers. There's no right or wrong to this.
Yeah, that's why his films haven't progressed, 'cause he can't work with other people, which is what making films, or making anything, is all about. Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown were brilliant, but he's now going in ever decreasing circles to the point where all of his films are just a mish-mash of quotes from his previous films and other people's previous films, and Deathproof is a very good example of that.
i didn't say it's necessarily fun to watch, just that it takes balls to show something like that... something which QT clearly lacks, he doesn't make exploitation movies just so he can get R ratings and make lots of money....
Hostel wasn't made by Quentin Tarantino. Deathproof was a homage to slasher exploitation flicks, but replacing the KILLER + SHARP KNIFE with KILLER + KILLER CAR, and it was done perfectly for what it was intended to do.
I really did like that movie.. Maybe not for the same reasons QT does but I remember it being called Nightmare city and wouldn't that be more suffice since they aren't the living dead?? Or maybe I'm just a fucking nerd Hahahaha
tarantino doesn't even have 1 % of the balls of the films he claimed to be inspired by, like umberto lenzi, jess franco, lucio fulci, sergio martino, the female convict scorpion series... and the most pathetic thing is that 99 % of the mindless filth who like Tarantino have not even heard the words exploitation or grindhouse before and still to date have no fucking clue what it really is... the fans of Tarantino are the people who will only have heard about the most unavoidable, blockbuster CRAP
Your post is all over the place. He can't work with other people, or he doesn't progress, or he steals from other peoples films? Make up your mind. He keeps the same editor for his films, but he's used a lot of different DOP/cinematographers, and a lot of different well-known actors. His films have progressed greatly from Reservoir Dogs, and he's successfully created which each film exactly what he wanted to create. As I said before, DP is a HOMAGE to EXPLOITATION FLICS, and it's perfect.
Why is it so popular these days to talk about how much Tarantino rips off other filmmakers? Ten bucks says the people saying this haven't even see the original films they are crying about being blasphemized.
It's really ironic to give out about it while praising Italian exploitation directors like Lenzi and Fulci. Ripping off other filmmakers was literally their business model
I feel like Quentin is just recording himself in his living room and uploading it onto the Internet for himself.
I think so
Yeah, seems legit. Yet, I believe he's not stone-cold sober too...
I love Umberto Lenzi and Quentin Tarantino!!
Why is he dressed like a Native American Samurai Catholic Priest Wizard Undertaker?
+TheWickerMan1981 I saw some Jedi in there too with the robes.
😂
while doing super mario impersonation
Best comment ever!!!
It's a Thelemic thing...
Fulci was a director of images, not stories. Look at it that way and you'll appreciate it them more.
Nightmare city is great... Laura Trotter and Hugo Stiglitz kicked ass!!!! Too much awesomeness in that film to list.
Nightmare City is a great film.
Nice shout out.
Nightmare City is a great midnight movie.
I thought it was pretty awful
@@SirBearization nope is a great little Zombie Flick
I am Italian at one hundred percent and what Tarantino tries to do an Italian accent I really like, not is superb like other directors and it is very sweet
davide chiappetta Agreed, I'm half Italian on my fathers side. Plus, Tarantino is also Italian.
Umberto Lenzi made another good film called Spasmo ! 1972 Italy
Seven Blood stained orchids was good too!
Spasmo is excellent but it was 1974, filmed in 1973 though. Orchids was 1972, filmed in 1971. :-]
I have Spasmo
@@puplover7991 Yes I've seen it
@@LarryFleetwood8675 It was actully releasd in August 1976 in the United States .
homeboy is geared out of his head
I love Quentin Tarantino!

RIP Umberto Lenzi!
I LOVE that Lenzi impersonation! I could listen to Tarantion talk all day.
It's-a-meeee...QUEEEENTIN
"Some of these guys can be real Prima Donnas."
I bet if Morricone offered to score his film he'd say "Okay."
You right.
forget this hack in the video but lenzi is the best italian director
Yes, eric claptons' song 'cocaine' would have been an appropriate sound track for this clip.
i agree!!!
Quinten Tarantino you are the best
It’s a great film. That gave us much more of the modern zombie themes.
Cinema is dope to have got QT
He is high like a mofo ;D
His stance on composers is contradictory and perhaps even stupid,the reason he is able to pick and choose from composers of the past,is that someone decided to give them that power to create great themes in their movie,if everyone reasoned in such an arrogant petty way,there would be no Morricone,Hermann or Williams(to name a few) to "borrow" from.
Why does he make Umberto Lenzi sound like "It's-a-me-Mario?" As far as I'm concerned, Tarantino's ass is Italian too...
Beacuse he's an arrogant pr*ick.
Maybe the botched accents in Inglorious Basterds in QT making fun of himself.
The cut at 1:58
haha just rewound that 3 times
I like how he Mentioned nightmare city
A Jedi suit maybe... BTW I fucking love this dude xD
Oh man! This is cool! Thanks for posting it!
QT number one in the all fuc***ng world!
If you ever need a good laugh, come watch this interview of QT when he try's and talk's Italian.
No disrespect to David Carradine(R.I.P.),but,I think Interpol should interview Tarantino,he may have killed Carradine for his wardrobe...
T Ski 😂😂😂😂
he's snortin' all the way thru....mmmmmmm.....
Ennio Morricone's score for "Once Upon a Time in the West" was in the can before anything was shot. Leone based his scenes on the rhythm and impact of the score. Why doesn't QT (who used Morricone in "Inglorious Basterds") try this method? Might work for him AND would be original for once.
@dualchrissy Dusk til Dawn I think is what he talking about
Quentin I would love you to do a big-budget and badass remake of Nightmare City, or even dabble into do a fulci "zombie" re-adaptation. Come on man - give it a go!
I actually think Tom Savini is working on one.
That's Planet Terror by Rodriguez
Why's he dressed like a samurai?
I didn't mean he has messages to relay to us. He has something to say in terms of originality. To watch his movie doesn't give to me the impression of having wasted my time and a lot of movies nowadays give me this feeling. Tarantino's movies are just an interesting experience.

10 years
I love tarantino's films but he's blowing himself too much in this interview, get over yourself dude!
Hey wait a minute Quentin....didn't you hire Ennio Morricone ?
Haha I was thinking that - how would he field this question today. Morricone is a god, so I think he could trust his vision.
This was pretty well before that, though.
You're absolutely right.
but morricone is god and never disappoints
I ask myself that very question every time I see the Pope....
Goddamn Quentin is a genius.
Haha...I have to say I understand him pretty well...or, I used to, perhaps my mindset is a little different nowadays...but I used to wonder how directors in general have been fine with film composers writing their film scores since ages...even someone like Orson Welles...I mean...it does give them quite a bit of power over the film...they can change its mood entirely...

@DidloDurante
Quality > Quantity
Most of his movies are of sentimental value. Movies he would really wanted to do.
Milano odia: la polizia non può sparare aka Almost Human

Awfully pretentious... I used to love the guy & his films (kinda still do for the films) but the man is just out of his mind and is just incredibly egocentric
Lenzi kinda looks like Wes Craven, doesn't it ? 🙂
Looks like a kimono.
I was going to say Samurai too but Jedi might be more accurate? they are very similar.
"Get that guy outta here!"
this man is like an essence
WTF?! I LOVE film scores!
Is he adressing a cult? cool video, though. Regardless of goofy outfit.
That's a pretty big word for you. Be careful, you could hurt yourself.
title of a QT movie....
@scorejames *cough* It doesnt count as he never made a film with that name..
@rhabarberkompott: he's a genius copycat.
indeed, the irony haha...i'm sure he was quite aware of it, though
I think this man has Aspergers
@drwalpurgis What do you mean the bloke is wrong? He's just giving you the reason why he doesn't like using original composers. There's no right or wrong to this.
It's worse being Italian. (KIDDING!)
Some real snob comments here. Tarantino's a great director.
And if you came to a commentary on Lenzi to talk junk then you're truly trolls.
wtf is he wearing?
The human remake machine. Call it an "homage" and pretend it's art. Profit.
haha exactly right. Oh he's sooo sooo sooo creative ;-)
Funny, that's how guys like Lenzi worked (but with far less effort in actually crafting the stuff)
Could say it better may self
now youre talking man. dont forget romeros old stuff
Haha, wow. Right. Should've known better, what was I thinking?
You can't fix stupid.
Yeah, that's why his films haven't progressed, 'cause he can't work with other people, which is what making films, or making anything, is all about.

QT has character. If he sucks at italian accent then its funny. Stop analysing people.
Hostel wasn't made by Quentin Tarantino.
Deathproof was a homage to slasher exploitation flicks, but replacing the KILLER + SHARP KNIFE with KILLER + KILLER CAR, and it was done perfectly for what it was intended to do.
hahahahahaha oh my god. His outfit. I feel bad, but I gotta say, that's just so fucked up.
don't do coke kids.
@VagrancyFilmz
Genuine FACEPALM @ that sorry, you need to stop riding Quentin.
I can't tell if that's Tarantino talking or just a massive pile of the cocaine!
you have just lost your 10 bucks LOL
The film might have been all the things he wanted it to be. So what?
I really did like that movie.. Maybe not for the same reasons QT does but I remember it being called Nightmare city and wouldn't that be more suffice since they aren't the living dead?? Or maybe I'm just a fucking nerd Hahahaha
+Richard n
Would you compare it to Dawn of the Dead remake?
***** didn't see it.
Richard n
I recommend it, it's lots of fun and Tarantino digs it
Planet Terror was Garbage.
what the **** is he wearing??????? and I thought he was going to talk about brothers till we die?????
tarantino doesn't even have 1 % of the balls of the films he claimed to be inspired by, like umberto lenzi, jess franco, lucio fulci, sergio martino, the female convict scorpion series...
and the most pathetic thing is that 99 % of the mindless filth who like Tarantino have not even heard the words exploitation or grindhouse before and still to date have no fucking clue what it really is... the fans of Tarantino are the people who will only have heard about the most unavoidable, blockbuster CRAP
Grindhouse is for the most part mindless filth tho, especially from the directors you mention (that's what they did well)
This is unwatchable.
Wow, nice stretch there. Do you have synesthesia? Or maybe it's just dyslexia.
I think he's a genius.
Lenzi yes, QT no.
Your post is all over the place.
He can't work with other people, or he doesn't progress, or he steals from other peoples films? Make up your mind.
He keeps the same editor for his films, but he's used a lot of different DOP/cinematographers, and a lot of different well-known actors.
His films have progressed greatly from Reservoir Dogs, and he's successfully created which each film exactly what he wanted to create.
As I said before, DP is a HOMAGE to EXPLOITATION FLICS, and it's perfect.
umm,what does this have to do with the video?
Pity he lacks the ability to write music.
Maybe you are right, but there are directors much more greedy than him. The difference is that QT has something to say.
famili guy italian baparepupi?
do you really think that Umberto Lenzi has balls
uno farto
Letted?
Really?
are you serious?
LOL talk about one of the most overrated of all time (Tarantino) talking about one of the most underrated (Lenzi)
Funny stuff
Why is it so popular these days to talk about how much Tarantino rips off other filmmakers? Ten bucks says the people saying this haven't even see the original films they are crying about being blasphemized.
It's really ironic to give out about it while praising Italian exploitation directors like Lenzi and Fulci. Ripping off other filmmakers was literally their business model
this guy trying to imitate the italian, is really annoying
