Coolest Tarantino Character and Why...

[Callan.T89]

O.K then leading on from the Pulp Fiction Thread and because I am bored....

Who IS the coolest character in a Tarantino film and why, didn't really want to do a poll as I would have left someone out.

I'm going for the leftfeild choice of Stuntman Mike, class character, with brilliant portrayal by Kurt Russell, I wanted to be him right up until the point of him getting shot and crying (and without the murdering of course). Also that Jacket is proper old school cool and he drives only the best muscle cars.

Also mention goes to The Wolf from Pulp Fiction and Go-Go from Kill Bill, brilliant lesser characters who's lack of back story leaves you to just enjoy there presence.

Any thoughts welcome.

Clarence from True Romance, some corking lines and he evolves into the unlikely hero very well IMO.

Mallory from Natural Born Killers. Fit, but a psycho.

[Vario-Rob]

David Carradine as Bill in Kill Bill, he drove a DeTomaso Mangusta which is sufficient for the purposes of this particular thread

Sorry man, thats not a Tarantino Film. Although I did nominate mallory getting hammered on the bonnet of a Corvette as one of my favourite 'car' moments in a film.

Tarantino films include:

Resevoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill 1&2
Death Proof

You can also include that he worked on:
True Romance
Hostel
and maybe Sin City

Probably missed some. Correct me if so

Tarantino wrote it.

ETA: it has to be Vincent or Jules from Pulp Fiction.

Directed by Oliver Stone, but written by Tarantino.

Can't help but think Stone was trying to emulate Tarantino's directing style a tad.

Jules from Pulp Fiction for the simple reason that he is the coolest man on the planet.

[Big Rod]

I'm not an officionado, but I've always thought Seth Gecko in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' was overtly cool.

+1

"Peachy, Kate. The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory.

+1 for Stuntman Mike

Add Four Rooms, From Dusk 'Til Dawn and Killing Zoe.

ETA: who could be cooler than Jules?

The Wolf: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

Love it!

[onlynik]

By Tarantino films, do you mean wrote or directed.

i.e. Elmore Leonard wrote Rum Punch, which was turned into Jackie Brown.
