<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A list of references to QT's own movies that can be found in Kill Bill. <br />
<br />
====[[Reservoir Dogs]] (1992)====<br />
<br />
* [[The Bride]] pulls a single blade razor from her cowboy boot which is a direct homage to [[Mr. Blonde]] ([[Michael Madsen]]) in ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]'', who pulls a razor from his cowboy boot in the infamous ear scene.<br />
<br />

<br />
* When [[the Bride]] and [[Bill]] are talking, Bill says that he hears a gunshot to the kneecap is quite painful. In ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]'', [[Mr. White]] ([[Harvey Keitel]]) says to [[Mr. Orange]] ([[Tim Roth]]), "Aside from the kneecap, the gut is the most painful area a guy can get shot in."<br />
<br />
* [[Michael Madsen]] stands in the doorway of his trailer and strikes the same pose as he does against the pole in ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''.<br />
<br />

* [[Mr. Blonde]] gasoline jerry can is in [[Budd]]'s trailer<br />
<br />

<br />
* As the sheriff walks into the destroyed wedding chapel with bodies on the floor, the radio starts. Before it gets to the right song, someone can be heard singing "Dónde Està". In the ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]'' torture scene, the same sound bite is heard before [[Mr. Blonde]] changes the station to K-BILLY.<br />
<br />
* [[Vernita Green]] complains about being given a codename she doesn't like. [[Mr. Pink]] had a similar argument in ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''.<br />
<br />
* The black/white suits<br />

<br />
====[[True Romance]] (1993) Directed by Tony Scott====<br />
<br />
* Screenplay by Quentin Tarantino<br />
<br />
* [[Buck]] has the same "Elvis Presley TCB" sunglasses as [[Clarence Worley]] in [[True Romance]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Image: Majestyk2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* On the wall in [[Budd]]'s trailer hangs a poster for Mr. Majestyk (1974). In [[True Romance]], [[Drexl]] ([[Gary Oldman]]) refers to Clarence as "Motherfuckin' Charlie Bronson: Mr. Majestyk."<br />
<br />
====[[Pulp Fiction]] (1994)====<br />
<br />
* During the scene at the [[House of Blue Leaves]], right before [[The Bride]] cuts off Sofie's arm, she tells O-Ren that they have "unfinished business." The close up camera angle of [[The Bride]]'s lips is the same angle Quentin Tarantino used in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' when [[Mia]] told [[Vincent]] (through a microphone) that she'd be down "in two shakes of a lamb's tail."<br />
<br />
[[Image: Pulpfictionlips8he.jpg]] [[Image: Kb1lips4rn.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* At the beginning of the scene where the sheriff walks into the church after the wedding massacre, there is music playing. When the singers say "Donde esta" there is a static sound like a radio changing station. Quentin used this same sound effect in the opening credits of ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' to change from "Misirlou" to "Jungle Boogie".<br />
<br />
* Quentin Tarantino has confirmed in interviews that the "[[Deadly Viper Assassination Squad]] (DiVAS)" was inspired by "[[Fox Force Five]]", the fictional television show that [[Mia Wallace]] filmed in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.<br />
<br />
* When [[the Bride]] says the word "square" to [[Vernita]], she draws three sides of a square in the air with her finger. [[Uma Thurman]]'s character in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' did nearly the same thing, except drew all 4 sides of the square.<br />
<br />

<br />
* [[The Bride]] says that [[Vernita Green]] is the "deadliest women in the world with a knife", [[Mia Wallace]] says the same line referring to her character in [[Fox Force Five]]<br />
<br />
* The black/white suits.<br />

<br />
* When [[the Bride]] arrives at the Tokyo airport, she walks in front of a [[Red Apple cigarettes]] advertisement. [[Red Apple cigarettes]] were first seen in [[Pulp Fiction]].<br />
<br />
