Tarantino uses filmic sampling and intertextuality
JACK RABBIT SLIMS
Outside in the car, Mia draws a post modern on screen box in response to Vincent's reluctant attitude
This is referencing The Flintstones
Enhances the playful and cartoonish feel of the restaurant
This can be linked to Postmodernism as it shows the film is self-reflexive and intertextuality itself is postmodern as it expects the spectator to understand the references made - caters to an audience well versed in popular culture
Inside, there are multiple references to music, tv, Hollywood films etc.
The waiters are dressed as Marilyn Monroe, James dean, Buddy Holly etc.
There are posters on the wall referencing older movies, menu items named after celebrities
Act as easter eggs to provide gratification to the spectators if they recognise them and it encourages active spectatorship
Almost like a VIP club for the people that recognise the references
Tarantino does this as a self-confessed cinephile to add a level of nostalgia into the movie but also to create exclusivity
The restaurant was purpose made by Tarantino for $150,000
To create a nostalgic feel and achieve an homage to pop culture
This is the only artificial set showing how immersive and artificial he wanted it to be
Mia and Vincent's dance is an homage to and inspired by the dance in Goddard's movie "A band a part"
French new wave film - 1964
Inspired by film movements
The twist is also likely sampled from "8 and a half" where they do a very similar twist
At the end of the dance scene, the screen fades out, fades in and the we see Mia and Vincent continuing to dance together as they walk in
Very similar to "Its a wonderful life"
He references Psycho when Marsellus stops and does a double take on Butch in the car
Briefcase is a reference to "Kiss me deadly" with its glowing nature
Opening scene is a reference to "Bonnie and Clyde"
