The Coolest Cars Quentin Tarantino Has Featured In His Movies
Tarantino just announced his newest film, The Movie Critic, so we wanted to check out the sweetest vehicles from his past nine movies.
Quentin Tarantino just revealed the name of his (alleged) tenth and final film: The Movie Critic. Right now, details are scarce, but as a white man in my mid-20s who likes movies, Tarantino hold a very special place in my heart. Because I'm also a car enjoyer, it got me thinking about all of the sweet-ass vehicles he has featured in his movies over the years.
I decided to put together a list of all of my favorites, and there are some real sweet things in here — and some serious oddballs. Yes, I even found a way to include things from movies that take place before the advent of cars. I'm that good.
So, let's take a look at some of the coolest vehicles Tarantino ever put in one of his nine previous movies. (Yes, I am combining Kill Bill into one film. Sue me.)
1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille - Reservoir Dogs
We start off real strong. This is actually Michael Madsen's personal car, and it's got plenty of room for a cop in the trunk. We're gonna see this baby again later.
1991 Acura NSX - Pulp Fiction
The Wolf travels in style. God, the first generation NSX is a sweet car.
1980 Honda Civic - Pulp Fiction
This car will lose a battle with Marsellus Wallace. Too bad, since its such a cute little thing... and so is Bruce WIllis.
1956 Chrysler New Yorker - Pulp Fiction
This scene makes me so goddamn hungry.
1986 Harley-Davidson FXR Super Glide - Pulp Fiction
Zed's dead, baby.
1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu - Pulp Fiction
Overdosing is bad, kids. This scene also gave birth to decades of Halloween costumes.
1973 Volkswagen T2 - Jackie Brown
Don't tease Robert De Niro about where he parked his T2. It will not end will for you.
1975 Mercedes-Benz R107 SL - Jackie Brown
Good lord, the U.S. regulation bumpers are HATEFUL.
1999 Chevrolet C-2500 Silverado - Kill Bill Vol. 1
This truck so perfectly captures early-2000s douche culture. It is iconic.
Kawasaki ZZR 250 - Kill Bill Vol. 1
Beatrix Kiddo is one of the biggest badasses in film history. She's got the bike to fit.
1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible - Kill Bill Vol. 2
A classic.
1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am - Kill Bill Vol. 2
The chicken... it's screaming.
1969 De Tomaso Mangusta
Bill is a real bucket of worms.
1971 Chevrolet Nova - Death Proof
This car leads to one of the most gruesome movie scenes ever. Real messed up shit. Do not watch it while you're eating.
1970 Dodge Challenger - Death Proof
Zoë Bell is actually death proof, if you ask me.
1972 Ford Mustang Grande - Death Proof
This could be the best Mustang, and no I will not be taking questions on the matter.
1969 Dodge Charger - Death Proof
Stuntman Mike is a real son of a bitch, but he gets what's coming to him. If you've never seen it, I cannot recommend Death Proof highly enough. It's a super underrated movie.
1940 Volkswagen Kübelwagen - Inglorious Basterds
Die you Nazi bastards!
Horsey - Django Unchained
Neigh!
Horseys and a Carriage - The Hateful Eight
This movie is kind of mid if we're being honest.
1973 Porsche 911S (Pretending to be a 1969 911L Sportomatic) - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
"The Circle Game" playing as Sharon Tate drives down the road gives me such a warm feeling.
1968 Pontiac Firebird - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
I've been to this restaurant! It's very good.
1968 Lincoln Continental - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Oh, Cliff Booth. You silly, silly man. Don't throw people at stunt coordinators' cars.
International Harvester Metro Mite - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Manson loves his Twinkies.
1950 MG TD - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Roman Polanski has good taste in cars... only cars. Nothing else.
1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Fun fact: Tarantino had the option to use the actual 500 the Manson Family drove on the night of the murders, but he decided it was "too creepy."
1967 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
All Cadillacs should still look like this.
1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Objectively, this is one of the best driving scenes in movie history.
1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille - Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Your eyes do not deceive you. This is Michael Marsden's Cadillac from Reservoir Dogs. I just love that.
