I think there will be more in Kill Bill, i gotta study the script once more.
Are there any references you know that might made us think for example “ah… Teriyaki, thats an old movie from 1942” or “…Red Apple, that was a codename from an old heist movie, QT watched in his childhood” or something like that?
I just love it:
“Big kahuna burger? that’s the hawaiian burger joint…”
It is really cool the way QT creates his own brands for his films. So far I dont know if any of the brands have connections to movies or tv etc. Keep thinking about it, maybe we’ll find something.
Id really like to see K-BILLY Radio show up in Kill Bill, that would be the best! But if not Ill take any other things that are in it. Its all good
Yes, the Red Apple and cleverly Teriyaki Donut are ORIGINAL from Tarantino’s mind…it was original to have the burger joint to be Big Kahuna instead of them just sitting around eating McDonald’s, (QT makes a note by having Jules ask what they are eating)
But…The Big Kahuna…I know of a lot of Big Kahuna burger joints around…that serve burgers…it was original to use it in his film…but I just don’t want ya’ll to think Quentin Tarantino made it up.
Red Apple cigarettes really do exist, or at least existed. They were popular the same time Chesterfields were popular. A friend of mine has a Yankee World Series program from the 60’s, and there are print ads for both brands. Chesterfields are still available (and if you smoke I recommend them), but I don’t know that Red Apples are still around.
There is a Big Kahuna in Sacramento, CA. Quentin might have thought he made it up, or maybe he just it’d be cool. But he did not, they exist. I’m sure they arn’t all connected (i.e: McDonalds are all the same) Where as Kahuna aren’t, and are independant…like some Donut Shops.

doubt it. The place isn’t called “Big KAhuna Burger” its just called “Kahuna Burger” I believe. Places all over the place have insane names. A restuaraunt here is called, “THE HUKI LAU ISLAND GRILL” another HAwaiian type name similar to “KAhuna Burger” (I believe on their menue they have Kahuna something)
