Tarrentino’s movies are most certainly NOT better than the majority of movies he “borrows” from! Although I do like his movies and think his use of other movies can be fun! I to find “Reservoir dogs" pretty boring and overrated, plus at that time he had not really admitted to his “Borrowing ways” and so that movie is almost completely stolen!
I suppose you think 'City On Fire' is what Tarrantino ripped off? Maybe you should watch it , as it's royal shit. And they have very few things in common. By the way, Tarantino wrote True Romance in '85 before he was into Hong Kong movies. That is his first script. And there is a mexican standoff in that movie. You should listen to the commentary track on Romance for where he really got his ideas from.

HOTC was not at all disturbing. The family in TCM was far more sinister. This family just comes of as a more annoying version. I am not writing Zombie off as a writer/Director because of it. But I'd be interested to see what he would do with somebody elses story, as a director. I just don't think his strength is writing/storytelling.
