From Track 18 on, the album has a series of Kung Fu effects sound cues. I would give this soundtrack a higher rating if they had only done one thing: rearrange the order of the music. Both of them are far cheesier and far better than any of the other theatrical trailers released. The two additional trailers are in the 70's Grind-house spirit of the film. Damn you, Tarantino!!!!Īs a nice bonus, included on the disk are three QuickTime trailers: The theatrical trailer and then two additional trailers Tarantino personally had assembled. This makes me want to track the original soundtrack down. Multiple Ennio Morricone-esque tracks are taken from a little known Lee Van Cleef Spagetti Western, Il Grande Duello (1972), though unfortunately, only Luis Bacalov's "The Grand Duel (Part Prima)" is on the album. Bernard Herrmann's whistling theme from Twisted Nerve (1968) is used in a Brian DePalma homage. There's the absolutely rocking "Run Fray Run" from the Isaac Hayes film Truck Turner (1974) and Al Hirt's amazing cover of the "Green Hornet" theme. Music from Ironside is used as the Bride's revenge motif, which flares up with a red-tinged flashback whenever she's in The most unique aspect about this album is how much score has been pulled from other films. "Ode" takes music from the Bride's attack on Buck (Michael Bowen) and lays in Blaxploitation vocals, which is too bad because the music was the better part of the piece. The RZA score blend in quite well as they are a hodge-podge of hip-hop styles mixed with old kung fu stings. The Tomoyasu Hotesi song used in theįilm's trailer ("Battle Without Honor or Humility") is here too. Only one their songs ("Woo-Hoo") appears on the album and it will drill a permanent place in your brain.
PULP FICTION OST RAR MOVIE
A Japanese B-52s, the retro band 5.6.7.8's makes a cameo in the movie as the band playing at the House of Blue Leaves. Meiko Kaji's "Flower's of Change" is a 60's Nippon style ballad. There is an emphasis on Japanese music, understandable as a good portion of the film takes place in that country. It's not a Tarantino Album if there isn't a rockabilly song ("That Certain Female") or an obscure 1970's pop hit ("Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood").
The album starts with the surprisingly somber Nancy Sinatra song ("Bang Bang," "My Baby Shot Me Down"), whichīecomes the Bride's (Uma Thurman) theme underscoring her inner sorrow and giving the movie a serious undertone that previous Tarantino films have not had. Like what a Sergio Leone movie would be if he had a great music collection.
Listening to this CD before watching the movie, I was wondering how on earth is this going to fit together? Having seen the movie, it is a rock-n-roll spaghetti western. The music is an even more eclectic mix where you have no idea what genre the next Additionally, a majority of the songs are more instrumental in natural. The fun of the album is that he simply does what he always does, which is to compile quirky music which he thinks is "cool."Īs a change from previous albums, the movie quotes are kept at a minimum. 1 no longer has the punch or surprise that Pulp Fiction and I don't think anyone, including Tarantino expected it to. The eagerly awaited album to the "4th movie by Quentin Tarantino", Kill Bill Vol. The albums were like an indelible mix tape, and every soundtrack under the sun was soon imitating its style, whether Tarantino was in the movie or not ( Desperado, Boogie Nights, From Dusk Till Dawn, Magnolia, Out of Sight, ]Ocean's 11, Clerks). No genre was safe R&B, rockabilly, surfer-rock, kitschy blaxploitation tunes. To Tarantino, the pop tunes are the actual score of to his film: half-remembered hits from the 60's and 70's, quirky B-sides and forgotten film scores mixed in with cool monologues from the films. Sure Dogs came out in 1992, but 1994 was when everyone started listening to it. "There have been more than a few influential film soundtracks in the nineties ( The Crow, Trainspotting, The Saint, The Matrix), but no album or albums had more influence over film soundtracks than the one-two punch of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs in 1994. In the spring of 1996, while Pulp Fiction fever was still around, a friend told me, "the coolest thing about being Quentin Tarantino is that he gets to make everyone else listen to his personal music collection.
