Lets see, QT uses the music from Blow Out and gives Special Thanks to DePalma in the credits. Is he influenced by DePalma? Nawwww couldnt be!! DePalma is one of QTs BIGGEST influences, even moreso than Hitchcock.
And that scene in Dogs is DEFINITELY like the chainsaw sequence in Scarface. Both scenes do the same type of thing. They bring you out of the horrific situation and take you into another reality of whats going on outside that situation.
Even the opening of Dogs/diner scene in Death Proof is patterned after the opening of Scarface & the intro of Winslow Leach in Phantom of the Paradise among many others. The continuous circling dolly shot is complete DePalma style.
Id even say DePalma is one of the main directors whose visual style is most influential to QT.
Anyone notice the Scorsese Mean Streets style tracking shot in Death Proof. When Dov and Omar are going to get the girls the drinks? I loved that.
