Amanda with a gun -- Plummer will blow you away in Pulp Fiction and Cattle Annie and Little Britches

Amanda Plummer kick-started Pulp Fiction as Honey Bunny (with Tim Roth as Pumpkin): "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of ya!".
Thirteen years earlier, she and Diane Lane were Cattle Annie and Little Britches. The teenage outlaw Cattle Annie was as fierce as Honey Bunny, but much more noble-- still, time would come when she had to threaten to "blow your brains out."
Cattle Annie and Little Britches came and went quickly in 1981, but a version of the clip in this video aired on two separate episodes of Siskel and Ebert's Sneak Previews -- Ebert selected the film as one of the year's forgotten treasures. (Siskel was less enthusiastic.) I've wondered if the 18-year old film buff Quentin Tarantino saw one of those episodeds (and maybe the movie). Jeff Dawson interviewed Tim Roth in 1995, who says that he introduced Plummer to Tarantino and said, "I want to work with Amanda in one of your films, but she has to have a really big gun." Tarantino agreed and wrote the parts of Pumpkin and Honey Bunny for Roth and Plummer.
That's "Miserlou" by Dick Dale in the middle part of the video. tying the scenes from the two films together-- Tarantino used "Miserlou" in this same opening scene from Pulp Fiction, but I overlaid it on video from Cattle Annie.
Pauline Kael wrote of Plummer's performance-- "The only other actress I've ever seen make a movie debut this excitingly, weirdly lyric was Katharine Hepburn." (Tarantino has said that he read Pauline Kael and may have read that quote.)
INote: this is the third draft I have posted of this video. I have had trouble deciding where to start the Cattle Annie clip. I am fond of a longer sequence which shows Cattle Annie and Little Britches walking up to the jail-- it has a good shot of the Western town and also has a charismatic shot of Amanda.)
