One of Clooney’s first lines of dialogue in the film is when he tells the other characters in the liquor store to “be cool, ” a line repeated more than once in Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction. He’s played by former “Miami Vice ” star Don Johnson in the TV series. Though he only makes it a few minutes into the film before taking a bullet to the head, Parks has made multiple appearances as the character, including in Kill Bill, Planet Terror, and Death Proof. The first character that appears on screen in the film is none other than Michael Parks as Earl McGraw. Now that the film has transitioned into a TV series on Rodriguez’s own El Rey Network, we want to uncover the past of the franchise, it’s connection to other films, and the forgotten corners that it went to. The film was Tarantino’s first “writing assignment, ” as its based on a story by special effects wizard Robert Kurtzman and not one of Tarantino’s wholly original screenplays.įrom Dusk Till Dawn is not only a love letter by Rodriguez and Tarantino to vampire films from across cinema, but it’s filled to the brim with references to their own previous works and it didn’t end with the 1996 film. After winning his first Academy Award and the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival with Pulp Fiction, Tarantino went to work on another collaboration with his friend and fellow filmmaker Robert Rodriguez – the horror movie, From Dusk Till Dawn. It’s easy to forget in a world where Quentin Tarantino is committed to making westerns and winning Academy Awards for Django Unchained, that he previously dabbled into the world of horror pretty hardcore. Brought to you by El Rey Network’s From Dusk Till Dawn Season 2.
