    Reservoir dogs - only! Much more raw than PF and even better soundtrack. Even though PF has some memorable lines: "Do they speak English in what?" hhh

    How violent is Pulp Fiction/ Reservoir Dogs/ Jackie Brown in relation to Kill Bill?

    I've seen both KB v1 and v2, I went out and bought the above listed, but I want to know how violent/ bloody they are? I'm okay with the violence in Kill Bill, but then I know when it's coming.

    Are there any shock violent scenes in the others?
    probably a few, Dogs has one, i dont remember jackie brown having any, and pulp fiction is a pretty violent film. I'd say if you can watch kill bill then you'll be fine though

    I've seen only Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs of the three you named, and they're quite gory at parts, but not at others. Kill Bill is a lot more violent and gory.

    Well it isn't Death Proof. My God what a poor movie, can't believe Tarantino made this.

    Pulp Fiction by a country mile, my favourite film of all time (see sig).

    Not a massive fan of Tarantino's other films, but Kill Bill Vol.1 and Inglourious Basterds were entertaining enough.

    I'd give the edge to Pulp Fiction, closely followed by Reservoir Dogs and then Jackie Brown. I just love it when Samuel L Jackson plays badass characters like in Pulp and Jackie...

    Pulp Fiction followed shortly by Jackie Brown. His 90s films are definitely superior to the '00 films, apart from Natural Born Killers which was a complete abomination though that was more Oliver Stone's fault than Tarantino's.

    JACKIE BROWN has the most heart and soul of any of his films.
