One of the most talented visionaries in the industry, Quentin Tarantino has never failed to produce some of the best works of all time. The American director has won numerous hearts worldwide with blockbusters like Django Unchained and From Dusk Till Dawn. Being the gifted artist that he is, the 60-year-old filmmaker is even used to other films and works being influenced by his own directed productions.
That being said, Tarantino also claims that Jack Black’s highly loved animated Kung Fu Panda movie series has stolen ideas from none other than his $330M superhit Kill Bill franchise.
Quentin Tarantino Is Used To His Movies Influencing Other Works
Renowned for being among the most tremendous contributors to Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino has always produced movies that have captivated audiences worldwide. With a fan following in millions and fans always wanting one more when it comes to his works, the Django Unchained director has also managed to influence the works of his peers as well.
Referring to his reaction every time he sees something that has been influenced by his projects, Tarantino said in an interview,
“People would ask me about that and they go, ‘Hey, did that really bug you?’ When, there was a period where it seemed like, five years in the 90s when every crime film kind of had this ironic bit and they talked about TV shows and played music in a weird way. Everybody was a smart-ass. They asked me, like, ‘Well, did that bother you?’ And I go, ‘No, it doesn’t bother me.’ One, I don’t think any of them are as good as mine. So it just makes mine look better and better.”
For what it’s worth, Quentin Tarantino’s response and confidence while responding are straight up the reasons behind his successfully creating sub-genres in the industry that every filmmaker wants a piece in.
Quentin Tarantino Accuses Kung Fu Panda Of Stealing Ideas From His Kill Bill Franchise
Furthermore, the versatile director also believes that Jack Black‘s Kung Fu Panda has been more than just inspired by his Kill Bill Franchise. Calling it a ‘straight-up parody’ of his $330 million worth franchise, Quentin Tarantino said,
“Frankly, Kung Fu Panda is just a straight-up parody of Kill Bill. In every way. They’re keeping me pop-culturally relevant. Priceless.”
But despite having the Kung Fu Panda film being a comedic copy of his achingly personal movie franchise, Quentin Tarantino continues to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry with his unwavering confidence and unparalleled creativity.
