New Zealand’s finest rockers together with a smoking hot band are set to recreate Hollywood history, performing the soundtracks to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction live in concert this April & May.įur Patrol’s rocker Julia Deans, dub-funk powerhouse Laughton Kora (Kora), Pluto frontman Milan Borich and hard rock hellraiser Booga Beazley (Head like a Hole) will be kicking off their shoes and polishing their razors for a walk on the dark side, backed by the Behemoth Big Band Royale. You must see this!” Karyn Rachtman, Music Supervisor, Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs + Pulp Fiction Few directors use music quite as effectively as Quentin Tarantino, and the attention Tarantino gives to it shows.“This concert captures the ‘dark cool’ of Quentin’s work brilliantly. After Butch thinks he made a clean get away with the watch, he sings along with the country “Counting Flowers on the Wall.” The scene goes quickly from joyous to tense as Marcellus Wallace appears in the middle of the street. The song accompanied by the ridiculousness of their hair makes for a humorous. ![]() When we first see Vincent and Jules, they are driving with “Jungle Boogie” being played on the radio. The radio is also used as an important sound device. The final song used between these two characters is “Girl You Will Be a Woman Soon.” In the scene Vincent fight his temptations while the source of his temptation dances wildly in the next room. They are connecting emotionally as characters through song and dance. Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell” matches the 50’s décor of the restaurant, as John Travolta goes back to his dancing roots. When Vincent and Mia compete in the Jack Rabbit Slims twist contest, the music further serves as a point of seduction and connection. When we see her for the first time we hear Dusty Springfield’s song of forbidden love, “Son of a Preacher Man.” The music accompanied with her bare feet is a point of seduction, and build her as a fem-fatal. When we are first introduced to the character of Mia Wallace, we are already familiar with the fact that she is dangerous because of the Tony Rocky Horror story. Music is also used to provide seduction to the character of Mia Wallace. They relate to all of these acts of violence and tie it together by giving us a sense of the characters composed psyche. All of these uses have something in common they provide a sense of calm and organization after and during violence. Butch slashes Zed up to an exhilarating horn section in the song Comanche. The classic guitar riff of Misirlou plays over the credits after Jules violently shoots Brent. ![]() The music fits perfectly as Vincent and Jules walk out of dinner, they just prevented from being robbed. Surfer music has a cool feel to it that is transmitted into actions by the characters. The soundtrack is filled with surfer music, which is heavy in its instrumental effect. The film’s song selection enhances the atmosphere in several ways throughout the film. As a proud owner of the soundtrack, I find the music thoroughly enhances the film. One of the many elements that is exceptional throughout Pulp Fiction is the soundtrack. Whether it is the use of Bowie’s “Cat People” in Inglorious Basterds, “Stuck in the Middle with You” accompanied by an ear getting severed in Reservoir Dogs, or the frequent use of Ennio Morricone scattered throughout his films. Each song stands out as a carefully selected piece of pop culture resonance. With every Quentin Tarantino movie, the soundtrack plays an important in the film. ![]()
