Sweet Christmas! Tarantino Wanted to Make a Luke Cage Movie

[Sighphi]

I don't know what Tarantino films yo've been watching, but his fondness for 70's low-budget b-movie genre tropes (blaxploitation and grindhouse) are sprinkled all over his movies. To say nothing of the fact that he's proclaimed his love for the stuff in countless interviews going back 20 years. The only way you could not be aware of them is to not know enough about the genre to know what to look for.

Can you mention some examples?
And please dont say silly stuff like Jules having Jheri Curls.
The only thing that's clear was Kill Bill.

Count me among those who don't think this would have been very good, personally I don't like anything Tarantino has done since Pulp Fiction.

I liked Inglorious Bastards and Django. The former might be better than PF.

It's not as neat and simple as citing particular scenes or characters. The overall tone and feel of many of his films simply reflect the 70s exploitation flick sensibilities he was raised on as a filmmaker (in much the same way that the Spider-Man movies reflected Sam Raimi's B-movie ethos even though they were huge, big budget SFX productions).
