As we all know, Quentin loves old(er) movies, particularily from the 70’s. Now he has been working with some of his idols like Mr. Kung Fu David Carradine and Street Fighter Sonny Chiba, but nearly all of those dudes are of course either too old or dead now.
So which actors and actresses do you think Quentin should be working with, if they were alive and kicking? And which do you think he would like to work with?
Charles Bronson
He was a true superstar and a walking sensarion of an action icon. Forget all those pale faced young bland shitheads they pass of as action stars today. Bronson was a real badass and a charismatic one at that. I’m sure Quentin would have worked with him if he had the chanche to.
Just imagine Death Wish 6 directed by Quentin Tarantino. It would be the movie to end all movies. The ultimate masterpiece. The thought of it alone brings a tear to my eye (I’m serious)
Lee Marvin
With a little effort from himself, Marvin was able to be just about as charismatic as Bronson. I’m sure the movie “Prime Cut” makes Quentin jump up and down on his sofa, like it makes me. Not that this is the only movie he kicks ass in - oh no. He was in so many great ones - “The Dirty Dozen”, “Point Blank”, I’m sure Quentin even has a soft spot for "Paint Your Wagon"
Quentin enthusiasts know he loved both those guys, they are whom I thought of immediately.
what others are there?

Well, QT said that if Bruce Lee was still alive, he’d be in Kill Bill. I also agree with Lee Marvin and Lee Van Cleef… wait, just realised all three names have “Lee” in them ;D

Nah, she’s on her way to becoming a hot mama. Then after that, a crack whore. Ten years from now she’ll be the next Britney Spears.
I totally agree with John Wayne and Robert Vaughn.
he also said he would have casted Ralph Meeker and Aldo Ray, if they weren’t dead.

what does that mean? not to be rude, but please explain, QT wanted to give Deniro a lowkey role? if yes, than thats cool, but Deniro would kick ass in a juicy QT part, especially a young Deniro
and i agree with the guy that said John Wayne, perfect!

If QT wanted De Niro to have a meatier role, he’d have one. I love what QT did with De Niro in that movie, he was basically a nobody, the lowest of the low (well maybe higher up than Sheronda, haha). It was in stark contrast to a lot of his previous roles and particularly the stuff he did with Scorsese. For me, it has a link with QT’s “every actor is equal” policy. Just because you’re Robert De Niro doesn’t make you “The Man” on either the set or in the film! I thought De Niro played it perfectly too.
And I was the guy that mentioned John Wayne
