Robert Forster, "Max Cherry" 1941-2019, was nominated for both an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.
He was a great underrated actor.
:(
going off of memory,
but it was (obviously) sad, he passed away 1 day after El Camino was released.
Lepra Krahn I was just gonna say the few scenes of his in BB were great
Spoilers... he is watching Breaking Bad right now
JoeyDangerously yeeea but I didn’t spoil anything bruh
Jackie Brown is one of Tarantino's finest movies. Thanks for reacting to it!
Also, RIP Robert Forster
Brandon, the actress is Pam Grier. She was a very famous actress in the 60's and 70's. She starred in a lot of "blaxploitation" and experimental movies at that time. She got her start with Roger Corwin and other experimental film makers in those days. She also became a huge symbol for female empowerment and a sex symbol starring in her own action films. Quentin Tarantino grew up watching her films and wrote Jackie Brown as a tribute to her and her contributions to cinema. Jackie Brown was credited as bringing Pam back to movies and reigniting her career the same way Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta.
Pam Grier still acts. She is also a big animal rights activist. She is very much old Hollywood. Watching her old blaxploitation movies might be interesting for a video.
While it's true that QT had always had Pam Grier in mind for the role, he just adapted the story from Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch, he didn't actually come up with it.
QT wrote the script based on two Elmore Leonard novels. One is called Rum Punch, but I don't know anything about it. There is a movie starring Michael Keaton playing this same character, but I don't think it's QT.
@@TheGourdKing Exactly, and it's a surprisingly faithful adaptation, given that we're talking about QT here.
See It 2wice fun fact, Keatons character is the same guy in both Jackie Brown and Out of Sight, making both movies in the same “universe”.
This is my FAVORITE Tarantino film. And Pam Grier is a Queen!
QT saw her in movies growing up and had a thing for her. He wanted her specifically for this movie and I don't blame him.

Man, it's too bad you have to mute the music so much to avoid copyright strikes. The music is such an integral part of this movie.
Agreed, loved the music in this one
He still heard it though :)
It's the only good part of this movie. And most of the songs were originally featured in superior movies as well.
@teppolundgren ooh spot the Tarantino hater. FYI this is probably his finest movie.
@@AJTupman 😁
Jackie Brown. One of the most badass female characters in cinema.
Subtle moment of genuine vulnerability from Jackie in the dressing room. I love how it was acted. Another similar moment is the closing shot when Jackie is driving the car, singing along to the music with sadness in her eyes. It's only when she's by herself that she truly lowers her guard.
This is his most "adult" film. Understated, not violent. If you notice, in this one the story isn't so important. It's all about hanging out with these cool characters at their cool favorite bars and cool apartments. It's like hanging out with your friends. Tarantino said he wanted to make a hangout film, "I wanted to make a movie you could watch for the rest of your life. Where anytime you want you can go back and hang out with your friends. Have a screwdriver with Ordell, a glass of champagne with Jackie, rip a bowl with Melanie". It is the ultimate hangout movie. It is my favorite film of all time.
Hey cool analogy!! I’m a fan of it and it has me enjoying a totally different aspect of the movie!
So true
One of the most underrated Tarantino films, but one of the best too!
You should watch "True Romance."
Quentin Tarantino did the screenplay.
ive been begging for this for a while... hopefully he saw
And natural born killers
My favorite movie I think he would love it
Should do sin city and from dusk till dawn to.
Wanted to write the same. Great movie.
Pam Grier is a legend. She stared in a bunch of blaxsploitation films in the mid 70's.
coffy and foxy brown sugar!
Also an amazing against type performance as a psycho hooker in the Paul Newman cop thriller, Fort Apache the Bronx...
Pam Grier had her start in the 1970’s blacksploitation type films always playing the hero so this film is sort of the send up those type of films.
Tarantino LOVED those films, so it's more of an homage than a send up.
Also the judge who grants her bail is the late great Sid Haig, a memorable actor who also starred with her in some of those films.
Apparently Pam Grier didn’t know he had been given the role and broke out laughing when she did her first take of the court scene.
She was name-checked in Reservoir Dogs, during the conversation in the car with Eddie, White, Blonde and Orange.
Foxy brown is the most famous of her blacksplotation movies
No hetero man alive doesn't fall in love with Pam Grier. The girl's just got it.
Random Fact: Michael Keaton's character from this film also appeared in the 1998 Steven Soderbergh film 'Out of Sight'. You might enjoy watching that one.
@BigMikeATL1977 - agreed 100%. Out of Sight is a waayyy underrated film; So well done.
Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown, and the tv show Justified all take place in the Elmore Leonard move Universe, and cross characters over.
Out of Sight is a very fun movie, definitely worth watching! Love the style of the way It was made too. It's like a Soderbergh movie trying to be a Tarantino movie.
@Michael Mathers Out of Sight is AMAZING. Steven Soderbergh directed, and it feels much more like Jackie Brown than it does Get Shorty, which is way wackier.
Out of sight’s a top 5 movie for me
never clicked on something so fast. 😅 i love this movie. Pam Grier is the main female character (Jackie). shes mostly familiar to those who love Blaxploitation films.
oh! please also look into adding True Romance to this Tarantino list as he wrote the screenplay. its a masterpiece.
Same! Lol
Interesting note: as it has been mentioned before this was based on a novel by Elmore Leonard. You can tell Leonard was a huge influence on Tarintino because the majority of the dialogue is taken directly from the book. Also the Tarintino staple of sudden violence in the parking lot and then the van was also identical to the book. Also I agree you have to watch True Romance. Even though it is directed by Tony Scott it is a Tarintino film trough and trough. Plus the cast is amazing. Just make sure that you get the directors cut.
@@innercircle341 Not true. Tarintino has spoken well of the film over the years praising Tony Scott's visuals and cast. He did originally dislike the change of the ending but has softened on that over the years. I think you are thinking of Natural Born Killers, Tarintino hated that one.
@@rodionmarlow1 Really? Why/ NBK was great!
@@rodionmarlow1 now i gotta see true romance & rewatch natural born killers now... thanks internet! Lol
The legendary Pam Grier....🌺🦋💕💕💕💕💕💖💖💖🤩🤩💗
this is a pure classic and the soundtrack is the best ever.
Loved the music in this!
Bruh 110th street is lit
AACROSSS 110th STREET 🎶
Remember seeing this in theaters as a 15 yr old...people in the theater didn’t seem to like it, I couldn’t get over how brilliant it was. Gets better each time you see it
Interesting fact about Michael Keaton's character is Keaton plays the same exact character in a different movie called 'Out of Sight' (Clooney, J-Lo) which is also an excellent film...and the Keaton character was created by Elmore Leonard, who wrote the books the two movies are loosely based on.
Out of Sight is an awesome movie made by another masterful director, Steven Soderbergh.
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anybody mentioned ‘Out of Sight’; great movie, and my fave J-Lo performance (made the rest of her career a real WTF for a while, until I realized she just wanted to make crappy Rom-Coms, and her Karen Sisco role was an aberration, lol).
Yes! And I always believed that the main character on the Elmore Leonard-derived tv show Justified is also the same guy (with name changed from Ray to Raylan). This got strengthened when they showed that Raylan had an ex who was a U.S. Marshall. Ray's Marshall ex, of course, would be Karen Sisco, who J-Lo played in Out Of Sight...Raylan's was "Karen Goodall", played by Carla Gugino, who had played Karen Sisco in a short lived tv show of that name. There are still differences between Ray and Raylan but it's enough to keep me believing.
@@adamwarlock1 That doesn't seem very likely; Raylan Givens is based on a character of the same name from an Elmore Leonard short story, who also appeared in at least one novel. Also, Raylan is a US Marshal, and Ray Nicolette is FBI.
Edit: it looks like Raylan has appeared in three novels
adamwarlock1
Wow, that’s amazing!!!
This Tarantino movie is very underrated. A great film that was unfortunate in following Pulp Fiction. Amazing film, great all around acting, writing, filming.
Jackie Brown is better than Pulp Fiction, enjoyed it way more!
I thought it was the perfect follow up to pulp fiction. A patient and measured building of character and plot when that was the last thing people expected from QT
"If you're gonna compare a Tarantino film, you compare it to every film ever made -- wasn't made by Quentin Tarantino."
It seemed like for a few years this had a reputation of being the favorite Tarentino film of general audiences and the least favorite of Tarentino fanatics. I think everyone's mellowed out a little since then, especially with so many more QT films to choose from, but I for one would love to see him do another adaptation because it definitely brings out a different side of his filmmaking while remaining very much a Tarentino movie.
True Romance is great, wasn't directed by Tarantino but he wrote the script.
From Dusk Till Dawn too!
And Natural Born Killers.
He also wrote/directed one of the rooms of "Four Rooms".
That one is directed by the late great Tony Scott. I know Tarantino was a uncredited writer for a couple of scenes in Crimson Tide another great Tony Scott film.
see if he can spot Gary Oldman
Fun Fact: Michael Keaton plays the exact same character in the movie Out of Sight.
It's a great movie too.
Brandon mentioned Robert DeNiro's "older" style.
Martin Scorsese's "Cape Fear" also worth a look.
I had gotten desensitized by the more fantastic and supernatural slasher movies in my younger days. Then I saw the Cape Fear remake and remembered how terrifying a plain human can be.
@@yodieyuh
Yup, real life monsters are always more horrific than make-believe ones.
I feel like that movie hasn't aged very well. At the time I thought it was brilliant but Deniro's performance is overwrought at times.
Love cape fear
This movie underrated. Great cast, acting by all and groovy music. Lol. This movie introduced me to that funk jam Cissy Strut by the Meters.
If so many people say it’s underrated, it might not be underrated at all
Júlio Schiavon . We are saying it was unappreciated at the time it was released. The movie did perform well when it first came out.
@@julioschiavon7888 it is. When people discuss Tarrentino movies they all but throw this one in the trash.
just been binge watching these reactions all quarantine
Glad you've been enjoying them 😄
JACKIE BROWN IS AN ADAPTATION.
Tarantino adapted Jackie Brown for the screen from Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch.
That’s why the narrative strikes you as a bit of a more plot focused departure.
DON’T MISS True Romance ... Tarantino wrote the screenplay but did not direct ... many GREAT cameos.
Michael Keaton played the same character in Out of Sight which is also based off of a novel by Elmore Leonard.
I adore Jackie Brown. One of my favorite Tarantino movies. Pretty underrated actually. In my opinion his most mature work.
You need to watch some Brian DePalma movies, "Scarface" , "Carlito's Way" or "the Untouchables" .
There are also some movies just written by Tarantino "True Romance", "Natural Born Killers" and "From Dust till Dawn".
Keep up the good work. I can't wait for the last episode of season 3 "It's always sunny in Philadelphia". It's one of the best.
He disowned Natural Born Killers after stone changed his script.
Natural Born Killers for sure.
Dusk till dawn would be a good one for October
My favourite De Palma film is Blow Out (1981), starring John Travolta. Definitely another one to check out at some point.
Carlito’s way is an epic film
I liked it before the intro finished; just because the movie is so good & underrated.
Ayyy appreciate you!
This is the only Tarantino film based off of another person's work. It is based off of the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard. Michael Keaton plays the same character he portays in Jackie Brown in another film based on an Elmore Leonard novel, the movie "Out Of Sight" with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez.
In the book she Is white and her name is Jackie Burke but Tarantino put his own flavor to it with the mov6
Oh man you pulled out the big one!! Man I got my food on deck for this!! Hyped to see your viewing for this underrated film!
This is, for me Tarantino's best film. Such a great stylized homage to the blaxplotation film of the 70's.
A little info about Death Proof, Tarantino‘s 5th film:
Death Proof is part of a Double Feature with Robert Rodriguez‘s Planet Terror, called Grindhouse.
The watching experience is way more fun, if you watch Grindhouse, with Planet Terror and all the other things included (Which I‘m not gonna spoil)
BUT The extended cut of Death Proof is better than the Grindhouse cut, so I recommend you to watch Grindhouse until the point where Death Proof starts and then switch to the extended cut. This in my opinion is the best way to watch that movie.
The other underrated Tarantino film.
Agreed! I love that movie
Honestly: I'm a big Tarantino fan, but I will never watch death proof. To paraphrase Jules, it might taste like motherfuckin' pumpkin pie, but I wouldn't know because I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
I'm no prude, no censor, and no killjoy, but for my own viewing I draw the line at serial killers and torture. If I know a movie features one or the other prominently as part of the plot, I just don't go there on purpose. I just can't watch it, even if I'm sure it's going to end badly for the serial killer or torturer.
This is my favorite of Tarantino, it's like a fun hangout movie with amazing dialog and scenes. Rewatching is like hanging with old friends
Not gonna lie, Ordell might be my favorite Sam Jackson character.. and he's been a lot of characters.
Ayyy I can’t wait for you to watch literally all of them
Ps. Don’t forget death proof 😔🙌
If you love the side-by-side split-screen style in films, you'd probably love films by Brian De Palma. He was in the directors brat pack along with Scorsese and Spielberg in the 1970s, and has made legendary films using that type of style along with EPIC crane shots.
The lead actress is the legendary Pam Grier, from Foxy Brown and other Blaxploitation films from the 70''s, which Tarantino grrew up on. She hadn't worked much in a decade before Tarantino sat her down and said "I wrote a movie for you."!
The opening credits scene, with Pam sliding along the wall, is an hommage to the opening of The Graduate, with Dustin Hoffman doing likewise.
This movie is great, glad to see that you're watching this bud
I love how Tarantino brought back largely forgotten/underappreciated actors who he loved. Harvey Keitel, Pam Grier, Robert Forster, John Travolta (pretty much known for Grease at the time), Sonny Chiba (not well-known in the West), it goes on. If he saw something in a past performance that he liked, he knew exactly who he needed for each role, and fought for them.
"I'm a fan of these opening shots" (wait until he discovers The Graduate).
That's what the opening is referencing
The credits with Pam Grier and Bobby Womack's 'Across 110th Street' is pure movie gold. This is such an awesome film.
Lynchian films when?
Unknown sources say very soon 😉
Brandon Likes Movies YES
Brandon Likes Movies - Ooh very exciting! One of my favorite filmmakers.
@@BrandonLikesMovies Hi Brandon! Love your channel! I have a suggestion regarding David Lynch, one of my very favorite directors of all time and a truly pure artist. I recommend that you start with THE ELEPHANT MAN, BLUE VELVET or TWIN PEAKS season 1 and then move on to WILD AT HEART and beyond. Those are the perfect primers for his work and they'll give you a chance to get his groove before you watch some of his more out there stuff, like ERASERHEAD. His films are often more like experiencing a dream than watching a traditional commercial "movie".
@@BrandonLikesMovies Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart are my favorites. You're about to see some strange shit if you've never seen a Lynch movie.
Should do True Romance he wrote it.
OMG YES! never clicked so fast but what about True Romance?
It's on my list!
@@195511SM Ssshhhh
@@Cyborganna ....You're right....I removed my comment.
@@BrandonLikesMovies True Romance is in my top 50 films ever made!!
@Michael Mathers no way, True Romance is a holy masterpiece!!
This may be Tarantinos best film. Technically brilliant, tight pacing with superb performances all round.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas! Great cinematography and 1st person visual effects 🙏
but only the half of fun if you dont know drugs
Probably my favorite Tarantino film, just barely above Reservoir Dogs. Pam Grier... damn.
About Samuel L. Jackson - he actually auditioned for Reservoir Dogs. Part for Mr. Orange went eventually to Tim Roth. Quentin has said that he loved Sam's audition.
Fast forward to writing Pulp Fiction. Quentin had originally Laurence Fishburne in mind to play Jules. Contract was not done because people behind Fishburne said that role was merely supporting, not lead. Quentin remembered Sam from earlier audition, he read the part and got it.
Laurence Fishburne was also in negotiations to make Die Hard 3 with Bruce Willis. Again, contract wasn't done. While negotiating, the people behind Die Hard 3 saw the Pulp Fiction screening in Cannes film festival. Quoting Tarantino "that was Samuel L. Jacksons screentest for Die Hard 3".
This is based on the book "Rum Punch". It's def on my reading list. Love the chemistry between Jackie and Max.
Just watched this. Well done. One of my favorite Tarantino films, maybe for this reason: It was written by Elmore Leonard as "Rum Punch". Also wrote "Get Shorty", and two of my favorite 70's anti-hero films, "Hombre" with Paul Newman, and "Valdez is Coming" with Burt Lancaster. Dialog, dialog, dialog.
man you shouldn´t forget about the ones he wrote but didn´t direct. Like "true romance". That one is pure genious.
One of the things I like about Jackie Brown is that Tarantino has Samuel L Jackson drop a line about 'The Killer', a classic John Woo Hong Kong action film starring action legend Chow Yun-fat. With that line he's acknowledging how much his early work had been influenced by 1980s Hong Kong action/crime films such as 'City On Fire' which influenced 'Reservoir Dogs' so much that one of its iconic scenes is essentially copied from the HK film.
Yo, Meth, where my Killer tape at, God?
Watching you watch these classics and bring up certain points/aspects makes me appreciate them more. And that’s coming from a dude that worked at Blockbuster Video for 17 years. Kudos.
So happy you're watching this.
Check out "Get Shorty", it's the same writer.
You won't know this yet but Robert Forster (5:01) plays a great character in the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe.
"Tombstone" with Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell...every scene is a classic.
Brandon, if you haven't already, you have to watch Requiem for a Dream.
That movie is just needlessly depressing...especially the stuff with the old mom
Then watch Spun then Brick to complete the trilogy 🤩👍
@@J_JetClips i wouldn't say needlessly
Smooth flick. Glad to see you watch more Quinten. Rock on, Brandon.
You should check out desperado. Has one of the better Quinton cameo in my opinion.
Thanks for your genuine reactions, one of the best channels on YT.
When you see Kill Bill vol.1, there will be a scene where you'll just say "yup. feet."
I remember going to see this in theaters back in 97
Another great choice and reaction and great to see JB getting some long forgotten attention, it’s so often forgotten. It’s still his most ‘traditional’ film to date possibly as its adapted from a novel. And that soundtrack, I still listen to it often. Keep up the good work Brandon and don’t forget True Romance, you won’t regret it 👍🏻
Always enjoy your reaction ,review, and I’m always maxed at your insight and you pick up on things so very fast, I enjoy your predictions and when they are about to happen , very impressed…. I dig your style man.. these videos are really well edited and we get a good amount of the movie and a great amount of Brandon . Welll done ✅
16:47 Pam Grier is MAGNIFICENT in this 👏🏾💐
When I first saw it, I never knew what it was about, until I found out it involves a weapons smuggler whom wants to kill his old associate, having her take the fall for a deal gone wrong, worried that she might rat him out to the ATF.
This was based on an Elmore Lenord novel. First and only time QT has adapted. Personally .....Might be His best film.
True Romance and Natural Born Killers, both written by Tarantino. Please add them to your watch/react list.
Note: M. Keaton played his character (Ray Nicolette) again in Out of Sight (1998-S. Soderbergh). He is the boyfriend of Jenifer Lopez. That`s because the two novels are from Elmore Leonard: Out of Sight and Rum Punch (in which Q.T based his screenplay)
The actress who played Jackie Brown, Pam Grier, was actually being discussed by the guys in Reservoir Dogs, when they were talking about old cop shows in the car.
Tarantino always says its important to him the idea of future generations discovering his movies and watching them one by one and them all being of good quality and doesnt want to let anyone down and will quit filmmaking before going the way of other famous filmmakers who loose their edge over time.
True romance!! One of my favorite movie was QTs first screen write
Pam Grier guest-starred on This is Us just recently, providing an object lesson in how to create a fully realized character in just a few minutes of screen time.
I didn't get it the first time I saw this movie, many years ago, but I've seen 4-5 times now and it just gets better and better and better for each time.
This is my favorite Tarantino film, lots of great actors. Also, grew up in the area so liked the familiarity of place. Since I'm in my 60s also familiar with all the music. This has violence but not as over the top as his others plus a better storyline.
Michael Keaton is playing the same character that he plays in "Out of Sight." 😮
Four Rooms
Somebody else might have already mentioned it, but Tarantino asked Pam Grier to audition for the role of Jody in Pulp Fiction, but didn't think audiences would find it believeable for Lance to yell at her, so he told her he would keep her mind for a future role and wrote Jackie Brown specifically for her.
You should definitely watch and react to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood from Tarantino. A great slow burn buddy film with a lot of craziness. The ending is amazing. Both Pitt and Leo are so good in it.
ugh finally someone that reacts to this gem... hugely underrated
I watched The Hateful 8 on molly and it changed the way i thought of QT's art form and the deep craft that he is a master of. It was a experience.
Natural high by bloodstone is the song that plays when max sees Jackie for the first time. Everytime I hear it I think about this scene
Kill Bill has all the same attributes as his previous films, but is the moment where he adds some truly incredible cinematography also
This is my go-to feel-good Tarantino movie. Whenever i'm stuck at home sick, or whatever, this is being played guaranteed.
My favorite Tarantino flick. Took me a while to get here. I mean Pulp Fiction was my favorite movie, period, for many years. But yeah... I LOOOOOVE this movie!
Most underrated Tarantino film and the one he entirely disowns, and I truly don't understand why (but perhaps because he doesn't feel satisifed doing an "Adaptation" although it's plenty different from Elmore Leonard's RUM PUNCH, which was the basis of this movie)
Love that you are going through Tarantino. You might be missing one thing though. Look up Four Rooms. It's an anthology picture with four different directors. Tarantino and Robert Rodrigez are two of them.
Underrated as hell, one of my personal favorites
React to True Romance, Written by Tarentino. A masterpiece of cinema. You'll love it!
It's good to see DeNiro and Samuel L acting together when they were young. Well, not young, but younger than today.
One of my favourite on screen romances in Jackie and max. Personal fave.
My absolute favorite Tarantino movie. I am so glad you watched this
One of my favourites ! Great review Brandon! Really digging your channel man. Keep up the good work!👌
A Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and a young Liam Neeson...The Mission, an absolute gem. You will appreciate it.
The dialog by Tarantino for /with Samuel Jackson.... well it's just made my life more enjoyable, a gift of film.
Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton’s character in Jackie Brown) makes an appearance in Out of Sight (directed by Steven Soderbergh) which was based on the book of the same name by Elmore Leonard (the same author of the novel Rum Punch which is what Jackie Brown is based on).
Apparently if you look at the map of the Tarantino Cinematic Universe so to say then Jackie Brown appears in the Elmore Leonard universe and neither the “Real Than Real Universe” (compromised of Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) nor the “Movie Movie Universe” (compromised of From Dusk Till Dawn series, Kill Bill, Planet Terror and Death Proof).
We need to get you a “hands free” microphone 👋🎤👋 😂
I didn't know about this Tarantino movie until I saw it here in your channel's thumbnail. I rented it before watching this video reaction, and now it is on my top four Tarantino films.
Jackie Brown is the best and underrated Tarantino’s movie.
Seriously, people don't give Elmore Leonard enough credit for how good Jackie Brown is. What makes it so different from the rest of QT's work, is that someone else wrote it, and he adapted it. Leonard was one of the great modern crime authors, and it's his voice that makes Jackie Brown stand out in QT's catalog.
