[quote] Leone’s films and Tarantino’s films usually begin with a stylistic pre-credit sequence, followed by the Credits scene accompanied with a rousing song. quote]
i read tarantino saying that the opening sequence thing he does was actually influenced by scorcese’s use of the phil spector classic ‘be my baby’ at the start of mean streets.
also i reckon that the whole section in goodfellers where the guys trying to organise dinner while picking up his bro, dropping off guns, being chased by a fbi helicopter and looking like death while a cool fucking soundtracks playing, proper reminds me of tarantino movies too, maybe its just the captions (i.e. like ‘8 minutes later’ or whatever it was in pulp fiction)
