<br />
Quentin Tarantino has used this model car a few times. It figures prominently in more than one film. Though never really proven, the backseat of the car [[Mr. Orange]] is bleeding all over in '''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''' resembles this model car. In '''[[Pulp Fiction]]''', it's the car Vincent splatters Marvin all over in eventually having to clean it up and dump it. A flat black 70s SS Nova is the vehicle/weapon of [[Stuntman Mike]], in Tarantino's '''[[Death Proof]]'''.<br />

<div>enjoying the wiki? --[[User:Admin|Sebastian]] 07:17, 20 February 2007 (CET)<br />
<br />
Definitely one of my favorite sites on the net. I hope it becomes the mecca of Tarantino information, it might get the man himself to take a looksee.<br />

dude, do you have some form of instant messenger? would be cool if we could chat while we're editing the same pages, haha --[[User:Admin|Sebastian]] 02:17, 21 April 2007 (CEST)<br />

<br />
No sorry, I don't. But you can email me @ savagedragon77@yahoo.com. I usually check that a lot while I'm surfing.<br />
<br />
== IM ==<br />
<br />
I have Skype, and I use it often... I plan on helping out the Wiki here whenever I can, it really is an awesome idea (TurboMan)<br />
<br />
== Grindhouse references page ==<br />
<br />
Hey Seb,<br />
<br />
Maybe we could change the Grind house references page a little by adding specific pages like the Kill Bill one with use if stuff like a Sexploitation page, a Blaxploitation page, and so on.<br />
<br />
been splitting it up a little, as you could see. it's not big enough yet. btw, we conflicted in editing it, i think that movie references "...fever (1975)" or something got lost in the process. that's why a messenger would be cool. what's your skype ID? --[[User:Admin|Sebastian]] 02:11, 26 April 2007 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I don't have an instant messenger, but I will get one and let you guys know here.<br />
<br />
my(TurboMan) skipe ID is xxpantherxx1<br />

<br />
I got a Yahoo IM. Name is savagedragon77.<br />
<br />
== Please don't cut & paste stuff from other websites here ==<br />
<br />
It looks really tacky and stupid to just cut and paste stuff from other websites. At least reword it.<br />
<br />
== where ==<br />
<br />
which page/text specifically are you referring to? --[[User:Admin|Sebastian]] 12:19, 5 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
<br />
==Hey==<br />
<br />
Badmutha, If youre going to make statements like that, at least have the courtesy to point out exactly what was copied and pasted. Dont just say it and leave. You just look like a troll otherwise.<br />
<br />
== cut & pastes ==<br />
<br />
Well as I surfed and found some info from IMDB on the Jackie Brown trivia about "director's trademarks". It clearly was just cut & pasted. You can tell not only because it's word for word, but that's the way they format it.<br />
<br />
== well ==<br />
<br />
I applaud badmutha for pointing it out, and I think the troll statement was unnecessary. whatever the copy&pasting it is very easy to find out who posted it ("history"), but that's not the point, the point is it shouldn't be done, unless it's a quote and there's a footnote or something. --[[User:Admin|Sebastian]] 09:10, 6 July 2007 (CEST)<br />
<br />
==ok==<br />
<br />
Reword trivia? Does it really matter? Its TRIVIA i.e. little known facts about a film. Not someones opinions or thoughts on a film. If people look through this wiki and use our trivia on IMDB do we need to put (from the QTA wiki) at the end of each line? Gimme a break. Badmutha, if you feel that strongly about this, could you go through the wiki and find each line of IMDB originated trivia and put (from IMDB) at the end for us? I'm too busy contributing to other areas. Thanks for your support!</div>ToothpickVicVegahttp://wiki.tarantino.info/index.php?title=Gone_in_60_Seconds&diff=9635Gone in 60 Seconds2007-07-07T13:07:50Z<p>ToothpickVicVega: </p>

==Film Review==<br />
<br />
On August 20, 1989, H.B."Toby" Halicki was tragically killed on the set of Gone In 60 Seconds 2, the sequel to his 1974 cult classic. When you put Gone in 60 Seconds on, you'll see an independent film like no other. This is indie action filmmaking at its best.<br />
<br />
'''TRIVIA NOTE''': Fans of [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s [[Kill Bill]] Volume 1 may recognize a interesting shot of the inside of Maindrian Pace's dashboard lined with sunglasses at the opening of the film.<br />
<br />
Maindrian Pace (H.B. "Toby" Halicki) leads a double life, he is a car insurance investigator and he's also a supercool master car thief. He and his group of professional mechanics need to collect a group of 44 cars by a certain deadline. To keep this secret, they give the cars they are scoping female names. The question is: can they make it on time? We get to see how Maindrian runs his business at the opening of the film, by going to junkyards, picking up junked sports cars, then bringing them back to the chop shop. His crew pulls the cars apart and copy the serial number code on the engine block. Then they steal new cars, switch license plates and add the old serial number code to the new "twin" car.<br />
<br />
'''TRIVIA NOTE''': If you've seen the 90s remake of Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicolas Cage, theres a certain scene they took from the original involving a stolen car and a cache of heroin. Look out for it.<br />
<br />
In between running the chop shop Maindrian goes on investigations to find other stolen cars. Noone suspects the respectable Maindrian Pace, finder of stolen vehicles of being a car thief, so things work out great. That is until Pace makes an ememy of his girlfriend's brother, who ends up tipping off police theres going to be an auto theft just before he picks up the last car on his list. The car is nicknamed "Eleanor" and its a beautiful yellow 1973 Ford Mustang GT 500. Maindrian and his gang have seen several "Eleanor's" around the city, but, he has an easy score set up at a TV Studio where one of the reporters has an Eleanor he can rip off. When Maindrian gets there incognito (a salt and pepper gray wig and mustache) he jacks the car and is ready to leave, but across the street the tipped off cops have been waiting for this to happen. The car has an alarm that goes off, but as soon as Pace shuts it off, the cops realize hes the guy.<br />
<br />
Pace jams the gas pedal down takes off and the cops plow right into him and the chase is on! Yes, this is it, the legendary 40 minute car chase through the cities of Carson and Torrance California. The stuntwork and camerawork on this sequence is really breathtaking, HB Halicki was fearless when it came to stunts with cars, you can see he does all his own driving and theres several close calls where he almost buys the farm (watch for the telephone pole scene!). The incredible chase begins in the inner city moving to the outskirts of town through a large dirt covered field, then back into downtown Carson, through a car dealership and out onto the highway where Pace makes a death defying escape jumping over a car shown in slow motion.<br />
<br />
Pace makes it out of the deadly chase by the skin of his teeth. When he spots yet another "Eleanor" at a car wash, he quickly pulls in, gets the keys from the owner by explaining hes the manager and they need to "rewash the car". Pace gets in the car, pulls off his makeup (wig, mustache etc) changes clothes and cruises down the street. When he sees a police roadblock up ahead he gets a little nervous but luckily for him, the car wash manager is mistaken for Pace and the police let him pass by then descend on the car wash business while Maindrian Pace calmly drives away into the traffic filled horizon. What an ending!<br />
