thats just the thing, as stated before, once Oliver Stone BOUGHT the script he owned it. HE could do ANYTHING he wanted with it. HE could take scenes FROM it and put them into ANOTHER totally different script! This is NOT unusual when it comes to script buying.
Yss, Oliver Stone had a chance to make a pretty good movie out of Tarantino’s script. But well, he decided he wanted to add his touch to it.
Quentin Tarantino can be mad all he wants at Stone, but in the end its HIS OWN FAULT.
Then there’s this BS about “Well Stone should’ve talked to Tarantino about the script and-” No. He didn’t need to do that. HE bought the script. It’s his.
I personally liked the movie, it wasn’t anything special, but I enjoyed it. Yes, there was some ego dripping into the film ect, but still a decent movie.
But anyone who has vowed to never see it, or say they don’t like it for the SOLE reason that Tarantino thinks its a fucked up movie…is a tool.
Just be true to yourself. Just cause Tarantino doesn’t like NBK, doesn’t mean you as a fan of him has to disslike it to. I don’t even think Tarantino would give a flying fuck if you told him you liked it. He may argue about it with you, but as a human being, I bet he’d respect your opinion.
Kentucky Fried, do us all a favor and shut the hell up. Im sick of reading this bullshit about how everyone should think for themselves, blah blah blah. Who said you were this chats conscience?
The last thing we need is some child telling us how to think and feel about movies. Is this a joke?
I never liked NBK, even before I knew QT wrote the original screenplay. I didnt like it BEFORE I knew QT didnt like it.
So stop bitching and deal with it.
And Tarantino had the fuckin right to be pissed that his work was fucked with by Stone, whether Stone bought it or not. Get a fuckin clue punk.
Great job dumbass, you just made yourself look like a dumb fuck.
You said; "And Tarantino had the fuckin right to be pissed that his work was fucked with by Stone, whether Stone bought it or not. Get a fuckin clue punk. "
Guess what, fuck up? Look what I said, "Quentin Tarantino can be mad all he wants at Stone, but in the end its HIS OWN FAULT. "
Gee, I wonder if I already said that? Did u even READ what I posted, fuck up?
You said; "Kentucky Fried, do us all a favor and shut the hell up. Im sick of reading this bullshit about how everyone should think for themselves, blah blah blah. Who said you were this chats conscience? "
I never said I was this chats concious, moron, I said that if you think NBK sucks just cause Tarantino doesn’t like it…you’re a tool.
"So stop bitching and deal with it.  "
DEAL WITH WHAT?! What are you talking about? What’s to be dealt with? Am I bitching about something? No! FUCK UP
"The last thing we need is some child telling us how to think and feel about movies. Is this a joke? "
I’m not telling you anything. Why am I child? BEcause I’m sixteen? Because I am younger I am automatically considered “a child” a everything I say is considered unintelligent? Problem is, Vic, you think that just because you’re older your posts are more meaningfull and intelligent. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean shit. You’re the same caliber as Charbax, you’re in denial. You can’t accept certain things, like maybe you’re an idiot. You both, Charbax, think that just because you’re older you are automatically intelligent.
Have fun, Vic!
Kentucky Fried I think your problem is that youre jealous of people that know more than you.
All I do is give my opinions on things. If thats too much for you, I guess I’ll refer to the old quote: “If you cant take the heat, get outta the kitchen”.
Good luck on your quest for knowledge lil guy.
Thanks for addressing all my points! It shows how far your knowledge really goes! I’m so glad to see your intelligent response! Especially where you defend yourself!
Oh whoops, you didn’t do any of that because you DON’T have anything intelligent to reply with.
My bad.
I liked NBK, I have not seen anything like it.
I like the points it made too, the way the media treats serial killers or (just killers in general) as movie stars.
I have not read QT original script, but I would like to see how he would have directed it.
That would be interesting, infact I think he should remake
NBK the way he wanted it, but for me, there is NOTHING wrong with Stone’s vision.
I like NBK too! The only thing I can see wrong about it is that it was overdone in my views as in the way it was shot, too far fetched and weird at times.
Though the last 30mins of the film are sheer greatness, a prision riot… brilliant stuff.
Tom Sizemore owns. 8)
What are the main differences from Tarantino’s script to Oliver Stones version of the script?
Is it basically the same script but Oliver Stone decided to make it a weird sort of movie?
I think it was a great film i love it, i would like to get an honest answer from QT. If he had nothing to do with NBK would he have liked it?
I wish they left the courtroom scene in, i thought that was one of the greatest scenes of the movie, or even movies in general. I understand why he took it out after hearing what Stone had to say but he could have changed it slightly if he didnt want Mickey to kill her. I think he could have gone to kill her, her a flash image of the indian and then he stops just beore striking her, then walks back laughing and rests his case
Shit, I just watched NBK for the first time yesterday. Seems that Stone really butchered QT’s script to fucking pieces, cause there wasn’t anything even remotely that reminded me of QT, especially in the dialogue which was obviously re-written from scratch to include some kind of social message about crime and the media. I have to admit that I quite liked it, but Stone’s continous obsession of pointing out to me all the mishaps and negativity of our modern society is beginning to annoy me. This guy must truly be depressed.
It was also funny to see that while the film criticised the use and glarification of violence in the media, he showed clips from Scarface and Midnight Express on the television Mickey was watching in the motel room…two “violent” movies that Stone has scripted himself.
i saw the other day NBK, I understand that the scrip is oftarantino, but O.Stone has made a very strange film that only gets strong when they are in prision, because the rest are many strange things, poor backwards, … i personally think tarantino could do a masterpiece with that script that Stone didn’t know how to do it.
I agree, the prision scenes are great and makes the film strong and it did start out strange and slow. I feel that this is a film that wouldn’t suit Tarantino’s film skills, I could be wrong.
Now I have a lust to buy the DVD now.
Okay, I’ve finally got NBK and I’ve decided to watch it tomorrow night. I just wanted to know how violent it is, I can’t watch really violent, gory films unless I know what there gonna be like. So tell me, compared to killbill how violent is it? Also, is it scary?
Did you buy the director’s cut? That’s the one I have and it isn’t that violent. Since there are so many cuts, acts of violence are only focused on for a couple of seconds. It would get an R rating easily if it came out today

Bexi, don´t think about this gory shit...
You should see the movie and then judge about it for yourself.
It is so difficult to say other people what gory a movie is, cuz everyone has his own opinion about it... For me it wasn´t that gory at all.
Just see it.
I love NATURAL BORN KILLERS, one of my favorite movies. And its an Oliver Stone film, not a QT film, so I dont mind that OS changed from QTs script, NBK rules how it is. Great camera work, perfect style, awesome actors. One incredibly good film. Check out my review at the fabulous GRINDHOUSE this Friday evening!
Yes, it is the directors cut, does that mean that it’s more violent?
I still haven’t watched it though. I can’t watch something if it might give me nightmares. So please tell me people, is it more violent that RD? Also, How scary is it?
The Director’s Cut is the full movie without the cuts required for an ‘R’ rating. It isn’t really that bad at all though, I think that maybe some guy’s wife busted his balls over breakfast one morning before he went to work at the MPAA.

i’ve only seen the directors cut and i loved it
judge it as a oliver stone movie, not a tarantino movie
its a great movie,I love it how Stone gave Woody Harrelson’s career a twist, the only “big” thing Woody has done before NBK was White men can’t jump and Cheers
i honestly shocked me to see Woody the bartender crack someones skull with an iron bar (or what was it?)
Woody’s dad was a hitman by the way, hes serving life i think, Woody says that in an interview on the DVD, Oliver Stone wanted to give Woody an oppurtinity to unleash that hate/agression in NBK, so he did
also they should of let in the court scene (wich is also on the director’s cut dvd) where Micky kills a witness with a pencill
