Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, by Quentin Tarantino

[glass]

Anyone else disapointed that this thread turned out to be a hypothetical?

To the contrary.

You mean, you were relieved?

Thanks for the input but I think that is opening up a rather large can of worms that will further deviate this thread from its point. If you want to open up another thread to debate the merits of this assertation then I'll be happy to participate. However, since I haven't seen City on Fire I won't have much to contribute. Perhaps after I have looked into renting it.

Thanks!

I was simply responding to the question you posed. I don't care enough about Tarantino to start a thread about him. You can find out about any comparisons with a quick search of the net.

Resevoir Dogs is actually a better made film than City On Fire, btw.

Yeah it was my fault for posing the question in the first place. Afterwards I felt bad about taking the thread OT so I suggested the alternate thread. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be checking out City on Fire since I do enjoy HK action and now I'm curious.

Eh I'm only slightly dissappointed since I want Uma Thurman as Buffy, a tad more than SMG. But *shrugs* there you are.

However, if they were Tarantino productions I'd say that they'd probably feature a little less action and more dialogue (though probably not much of a difference). y knowledge).

While I'd largely agree, I'd just have to say that the Bride in Kill Bill v.1 (and the action sequences therein) could give a good idea of how he'd play Buffy. Buffy would probably be a very darker character than in the series (even than season 6).

I'd have to agree. I think my post was a little contradictory in places. Ultimately I think there would be even more emphasis on the martial arts (not necessarily more action sequences, but I think the martial-arts would be more fleshed out...but I'm not a Buffyverse expert) and it would be more violent and, as you say, darker.

 

[Nightfall]

Which is just the way I'd love to see Buffy. More dark and way more ass kicking. Sort of like Angel only less...talky.

Just had a thought for you, Whizbang, while we were on the topic of dark and Tarantino. The whole "vampirism as addiction" motif that popped up in Buffy periodically (season one with the vampire wannabes, season 4 with Riley and the bloodsuckers, and even occasionally with Angel and Spike and their hunger)- I could see that angle becoming a lot more prominent in a Tarantino-esque version of Buffy/Angel. I'm not sure what made me think of that offhand- I guess I'm thinking of some of the themes in True Romance, mainly.

Indeed.

Season 6 was IMHO more depressing than dark. I'm not seeing a Tarantino-inspired campaign go there - or any campaign...

That'd be a very good starting point.

OTOH, Tarantino would probably make it a tad bit too "cool" to be such an addicted vampire.

(zoom in on Spike and Angel taking on a warehouse full of vamps)

Angel: So, Mexico, huh? What's that like?

Spike: Different.

Angel: (vamp dives at him, and he sidesteps and stakes him) Different how?

Spike: Well, bear in mind that this is all colored by me getting dumped by Dru, so, you know...

Angel: No, no, I'm with you.

Spike: It's hot, for one thing. (ducks under a vamp with a baseball bat, breaks the bat in half with an elbow, then stakes the vamp with the jagged end of the bat)

Angel: Right. Closer to the equator.

Spike: No, I mean the blood. The blood is hot.

(a half-dozen vamps leap out from the shadows, and Spike and Angel fight back to back)

Angel: Picante or caliente? (blocks one guy, knocks him back with kick to the chest, takes a punch from the third)

Spike: (one vamp grabs him, and he does the leap-up double-kick on the other two) What?

Angel: Hot-hot or spicy-hot?

Spike: (elbows the guy grabbing him, spins, rapid neck-snap that decapitates the vamp) I know what it means. Just didn't think Irish boy would be in the know.

Angel: You live in L.A. for five years, you pick up a few things. (whips out a pair of stakes, double lunge to take out two of his guys)

Spike: Spicy-hot. Had to take little nips at a time, or it'd get too hot to keep drinking. (throws one guy into another guy, picks up a discarded sword, swings once to decapitate both)

Angel: Wonder if you could add it to pig blood, spice it up a little.

Vamp in front of Angel: Pig's a filthy anima-- (Angel stakes him)

Angel: What about those beautiful women from... where's the place where Darla met those Inca mummies?

Spike: Lima.

Angel: Right. (spins his stakes, pockets them) What do their women taste like?

Spike: I don't know. (picks up discarded sunglasses from dusted vamp, slides them on) I didn't go to Peru.
