Best Opening Scene

I'm not too sure... i thought the two worked on the movie together. was always under the impression that tarantino directed up until they enter the bar, then rodriguez takes over. which would make the scene tarantino's. I never did actually look into that theory tho :)

yeh your right, tarantino wrote it rodriguez directed it. wow, i always thought it was as i said mainly cause it feels like two movies... a cops 'n' robbers film turned horror... i figured it would take weird circumstances like two seperate directors to create that feel.
 
yeah it does suddenly change, but the directing throughout is rodriguez helped along by tarantino's words.

i generally don't like rodriguez's work when he's not working with excellent source material, like he did with this and sin city.
 
If you wanna get picky, it was actually Robert Kurtzman's "From Dusk 'Till Dawn". Kurtzman, the "K" in "KNB Effects" (the most accomplished special effects company in Hollywood today), did the makeup for Pulp Fiction. Tarantino wrote the screenplay for him as a thank you.
 
Reservoir Dogs.

By far.

The greatest writer of dialogue since Mamet, Dylan and Shakespeare came out firing with both cylinders on his virgin hypnotizing opening scene.

Just a group of cool dudes sitting around shooting the shit about stuff we've all thought about, but never articuclated quite as well as these guys do - the viewer doesn't even know the context - but it doesn't matter - the dialogue and the emsemble acting are THAT good.

And by putting that scene up front, he makes his characters, a bunch of thugs who commit unspeakable acts, LIKEABLE, simply by having us fall in love with the way they think, the way they talk, the way they interact upon their initial meeting.

Where have you gone, Mr. Tarantino?
