@@fanatamon people can say what they like about Tarantino, but the bloke’s a brilliant producer and screenwriter. When you’ve got a mind like this in front of you, you’ve just got to let them talk. Too many interviewers feel like they need to be “involved”. She did awesome. Also, his take on Hardy preferably being the feral child grown up, is a great idea and a Mad Max movie I’d love to see!
The fact this guy can reel off so many Aussie films off the top of his head (and reference their director etc) shows how much he just loves films. Legend.
Here's the list guys: 1. Richard Franklin's Roadgames (1981) 2. George Miller's Mad Max (1979) 3. Tony Williams' Next of Kin (1982) starring John Jarratt
Unfortunately the movies he listed were in the early 80s. Now Australia is just another diverse western place flooded with multiculturalism, political correctness and unshared values.
Interesting that he compared Next of Kin to The Shining. I'm Norwegian, and the local titles for those films on release were respectively, translated back into English, House of Evil and Hotel of Evil. I'm sure he would get a real kick out of that little fun fact.
What was the town? the 'Yabba'??? May as well be on Mars, there wasn't much sign of civilisation in that little hot as hell backwater. Yeah, top movie.
During an early Australian screening, one man stood up, pointed at the screen and protested "That's not us!", to which Jack Thompson yelled back "Sit down, mate. It is us.”
Brilliant opening shot, just a high-up camera doing a slow, 360-degree over the place where John teaches. Nothing for miles! My only question is, where did all the kids go? As soon as school got out, the entire class ran out of the schoolhouse, when John walks out after them, they all just disappeared into the aether!
In 10 seconds tarantino named an obscure 80s Australian mystery thriller, justified it's remake through the script quality, and even decided Russel Crowe could be one of the main actors. He's a genius.
I am Flinders DeRoche, the grandson of Everette DeRoche (the screenwriter Quentin referred to. I’m a 20 year old Aussie and a die hard Tarantino fan. What a fucking honour to have that man praise my family name ❤️
Meet him in New Zealand when he was doing the press release for H8, was a really nice and talkative guy, said how much he loves Australia, gave us his signature and brought us to what I’m guessing was like the media room and gave us a poster of the film (we got it framed with the signature)
Walkabout-Wake in fright-Gallipoli-The man from Honk Kong-Strictly Ballroom are all great movies and have all a special place in my list of favourites of all time. I love the aussie movies.
I love hearing Quentin talk about classic Australian films. He really knows what he's talking about. Patrick, Road Games, Careful He Might Hear You, etc. What a legend.
Some good points on Mad Max. Honestly i never even thought about the possibility of Mel playing Max, but he sold me. The movie is still great, but damn picture an old Max having lived in that world for the past thirty years...
No, there are plenty of Australian filmmakers who have this sort of knowledge. Do you think Aussie filmmakers only watch Hollywood cinema? Talk to a young film student, if he or she has real appreciation for films (and many do), he or she will impress you.
Anthony Cotter Doesn’t matter where you’re from; it is pronounced the way it is pronounced. If I go to America, I’m not going to pronounce Arkansas the way it’s spelled, I’ll pronounce it the way it’s said. It’s a little ignorant to do any different.
Its so impressive that an American film maker knows so much about Australian cinema, lots of respect considering how busy he would be with his own career. But, the feeling of dread in Picnic From Hanging Rock was as good if not better than Next Of Kin.
PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is a crashing bore. It's terribly overrated. That "Miranda! Miranda!" scene makes me chuckle. That scene looks like bad high school drama.
Tarantino got me to realise that Aussie movies, often have a different magic reality. Some of my favourites are “The Coca-Cola Kid”, “Strictly Ballroom” and of course “Priscilla”.
I agree. I had heard about Priscilla but it took me five years or so before I got around to watch it. Great movie. I also like The Castle and The Dish. I do have a decent collection of Australian movies having grown up there in the 1960s.
Lovely to see him interviewed by such a smart and casual interviewer not asking dumb Hollywood questions. You can see how much of a student of film he is knowing so much about (often underrated) Aussie cinema. Bless.
Actually, she *is* a bit of a dumb interviewer. Top three Aussie films? Lazy question. She's all "um, ah, kind of" when she talks. She seems to think that QT invented programmes and intermissions, rather than acknowledging that they are a throwback to old style cinema. The sad thing is that this woman probably went to university, yet has trouble composing herself--and please, don't try telling me she was nervous. If she's a professional interviewer, this ought to be easy for her.
Geez he knows more Aussie movies then Aussies do haha this guy is insanely intelligent I hope he continues after 10 films the man is a genius film maker!
I don’t know anyone who speaks so passionately and informatively about movies the way QT does. He’s the kind of guy that you could just ask one question and then just sit back and enjoy him talk about movies you’ve never even heard of.

tom hardy playing the feral child all grown up.. mind blown. turns out he calls himself max in homage and mel gibson aka real max is in the next one haha plot twist
And it would just about fix the only problem I have with the movie. When he says "Max, my name is Max" He does it in a really odd way. When he said the first time I watched Fury Road it took me out of the movie. But if he says it that way because that's the moment he decides to call himself Max, it'd make so much sense!
Wouldn't make any sense. The narrator of Mad Max 2 is the revealed to be the feral child. He explains that he grew up to become the leader of the great northern tribe and grew old there.
he put it into words perfectly.. mel gibson already looks exactly like he has lived in a post apocalyptic world for the last 3 decades.... they wouldn't even have to do any makeup.
And his authenticity towards the camera is enriching. I agree with him on his opinion with Tom hardy playing that role he had imagined would be better suit. Straightforward yet respectful.

@@lucarossi8913 ...because that is how you say it if you're an Aussie. If you're not, it's often said as 'Mel-born' (especially by Americans) which gives you away right there even without the accent. You don't say it like it's spelt, you say it the quickest way.

I haven’t watched many Aussie films, the first two Mad Max movies and Wake in Fright, but they, and to some extent this is true of British films around the same time (70 and early 80s) as well, have these interesting totally unique tones, styles, commitment by the actors, writers and directors, and I almost want to say artsy feel to them, but in a way that’s easily watchable, there’s a definite “This isn’t Hollywood” vibe about them but they’re their own beast. Wake in Fright is still one of the most captivating descents into psychological madness ever!
Road Games is great isn't it? weird though how its two lead actors are Americans in an entirely Australian setting, and that the only two Americans in the film end up together on the road, lol! But thats how a lot of these Aussie hings managed to get funded and then distributed around the world and Jamie Lee was in big demand. I liked that Jamie Lee Curtis is sort of seen but not really in the movie til quite a way through in it. Road Games would also make for a great double feature with The Fog, where Jamie Lee again plays a rich girl who's hitchhiking. The double would have to be called "Hitchhiking with Jamie Lee!"
I've heard him talk about it before which reminds me where I saw it. There's a documentary called Not Quite Hollywood that Tarantino helped get made and he also does some interviews throughout the thing. It's about all the "Ozploitation" flicks he touched on there. It's a really good movie but I'm not sure where you can find it anymore. If you're interested in that kind of thing though you should look into it.
Jeez you can spent all of high school playing running film trivia games with friends, using nerdy quotes in conversation constantly, remembering scripts verbatim, then you remember there are guys like Quentin out there who just dwarf most of us in film knowledge. Mind blowing.
As an Australian, if we discount Mad Max the 3 Australian movies I would recommend are. 1 - Bad Boy Bubby 2 - Romper Stomper 3 - The FJ Holden The first two are infinitely quotable and the third I remember as being a classic whenever I saw it some 20+ years ago.
@@frarfarf probably, the one lil detail I remember was the thing I took away: they're on the run, starving and he's so racist he wont even eat spaghetti.
'I actually wept...' ♥ Great interview. Love it when Tara goes down the movie geek rabbit hole. 👌🏼 Best 3 aus movies: 'Wake In Fright, Razorback, Mad Max 2. 'The ayatollah of Rock & Rollaaaaa!' 🤪 Hillcoat & Cave's recent The Proposition is also superb.
Once of my high school drama teachers played the lead in an Ozploitation film called Dead End Drive In, and back in the day we used to razz him about it, even though it was a pretty good film... When Tarantino visited Australia for the Jackie Brown premier back in the late 90's, he did an interview on morning radio, and he mentioned it as one of his favourite movies... that sure shut all us kids up lol...
Where's "Wake in Fright" on that list? Great Aussie film. "Snowtown" also good, "Chopper", "Romper Stomper", "Walkabout" - Australia has made some great films
Top 3 Aussie films for me personally (I'm Australian): Sunday Too Far Away (1975), Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) and The Castle (1997). Brilliant films all in their own way 😊
I'm genuinely surprised he didn't say Wolf Creek because he got that actor that played the killer out of that film to play a role in Django Unchained and he said he was the most chilling horror movie character he's seen on screen
I really want to have a conversation with Quentin about movies an entire day this guy is just a huge fanboy it’s so refreshing seeing that in someone as big as him
One of the 70s / early 80s Aussie movies that resonated with me was Monkey Grip. Low budget 'indie' film that didn't need big action sequences - a rare gem.
The undisputed great australian film is Walkabout. Masterpiece. After that I really enjoy Muriel's Wedding and Strictly Ballroom, which are extremely fun and very very humanistic. I also wanna mention The Babadook.
It's a valid point. Buñuel made some of his best films in Mexico. I think they count as Mexican films, and they do not portray Mexico as richly and profoundly as Walkabout did with Australia.
@@HNWRobertPaulsonHNW Lots of American films have been directed by foreigners. Is Witness an Australian film (or at least not properly American) because Peter Weir is Australian?
I don't think most people realise how great Aussie cinema was in the late 70s and 80s. Every second movie I watched then was Australian. It was world class stuff. Even in the 90s it hung on. Sadly now it's pretty dead apart from the odd movie.
I think it was still excelling in the 90s. Ben Mendohlsen (remember Idiot Box?), Heath Ledger, Rose Byrne, Noah Taylor, the chick that was in Candy with Heath Ledger was also on the rise. 90s was a a great time for Aussie cinema. I went to the movies to see almost every one that was released. I miss those days
Road games is a legendary movie! And Jesus Christ yes. The feral kid concept would’ve worked for me too. Also the XB coupe never got its chance to shine. Max basically rode shotgun for the whole movie…
Nup, doesn't need explaining - he just turns up in it and the same thing happens to it. Only natural to assume Max's car wound up in the hands of someone he knew, years ago. You don't even need to explain Max's disappearance. While we're here - if you get the chance, go see the Birdville Motor Museum - they have a car from Thunderdome on display, hacked together from an F-series. Fascinating to look at it up close.
Quentin Tarantino would finish his 10th final movie and be hailed as one of the all time greats up there with Kubrick and then become one of the best movie reviewers of all time! He could/would make millions off of UA-cam listeners alone.
After QT retires from being a director in a few films I kind of want him to start his own youtube channel and just talk about old movies.

I haven’t watched many Aussie films, the first two Mad Max movies and Wake in Fright, but they, and to some extent this is true of British films around the same time (70 and early 80s) as well, have these interesting totally unique tones, styles, commitment by the actors, writers and directors, and I almost want to say artsy feel to them, but in a way that’s easily watchable, there’s a definite “This isn’t Hollywood” vibe about them but they’re their own beast.
Wake in Fright is still one of the most captivating descents into psychological madness ever!
I had never even heard of Road Games until Tarantino talked about it. Checked it out. Loved it. Possibly my favourite Jamie Lee Curtis film.
Road Games is great isn't it? weird though how its two lead actors are Americans in an entirely Australian setting, and that the only two Americans in the film end up together on the road, lol! But thats how a lot of these Aussie hings managed to get funded and then distributed around the world and Jamie Lee was in big demand. I liked that Jamie Lee Curtis is sort of seen but not really in the movie til quite a way through in it. Road Games would also make for a great double feature with The Fog, where Jamie Lee again plays a rich girl who's hitchhiking. The double would have to be called "Hitchhiking with Jamie Lee!"
I've heard him talk about it before which reminds me where I saw it. There's a documentary called Not Quite Hollywood that Tarantino helped get made and he also does some interviews throughout the thing. It's about all the "Ozploitation" flicks he touched on there. It's a really good movie but I'm not sure where you can find it anymore. If you're interested in that kind of thing though you should look into it.
Only QT can drag an answer out for 10 minutes to a simple question :)
Fabian Patrizio and Kevin Smith haha
Jeez you can spent all of high school playing running film trivia games with friends, using nerdy quotes in conversation constantly, remembering scripts verbatim, then you remember there are guys like Quentin out there who just dwarf most of us in film knowledge. Mind blowing.
I wonder if Tarantino has seen the 2005 film "The Proposition". It feels like something he would really vibe with
He would have to surely. It's a modern classic.
For sure! I bet he’s seen it. Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone- great film
Yeah I actually expected it to be one of the films he mentioned. Probably the best Australian film made post-1990.
I love his passion for cinema--he is encyclopedic in his knowledge of films in all countries.
Tarantino is spot on saying that Gibson should have starred in Fury Road don't get me wrong I like Tom Hardy but ONLY Gibson can be Mad Max.
Kinda too old to do the physical stuff, I think.
And he would have not accepted it anyway.
+Jack Ridge Mad Mel wouldn't have had to do any physical stuff, it was Charlize Theron who did most of the action anyway.
Furiosa had to stand out. (Hence Tom Hardy as MadMax)
He went too crazy on it for people
Mel Gibson is Mad Max, it is his real persona.
The Interview (1998) is Highly Underrated Australian Flick.
Also Hugo's mini-series, "After the Deluge." (2003)
I think Quentin is an amazing creator of art and his comment at the end is perfection in relation to the movie!!
As an Australian, if we discount Mad Max the 3 Australian movies I would recommend are.
1 - Bad Boy Bubby
2 - Romper Stomper
3 - The FJ Holden
The first two are infinitely quotable and the third I remember as being a classic whenever I saw it some 20+ years ago.
"BE STILL YOU LITTLE CARNT!"
Noone does films like Aussies. Gidday from the G.C 😛
I'm surprised Romper Stomper never came up. Seems like it would be right up his street.
it's a really sht movie if you watch it again now lol
@@frarfarf probably, the one lil detail I remember was the thing I took away: they're on the run, starving and he's so racist he wont even eat spaghetti.
@@mattcurr9931 lol and the girl in a sexual relationship with her dad yikes
Wow QT really knows is stuff about Aussie films!
Can't help but love the guy aye, and I treasure his films!
1:23 he actually pronounced "Melbourne" the right way my respect for Quentin is now higher
'I actually wept...' ♥ Great interview.
Love it when Tara goes down the movie geek rabbit hole. 👌🏼
Best 3 aus movies: 'Wake In Fright, Razorback, Mad Max 2.
'The ayatollah of Rock & Rollaaaaa!' 🤪
Hillcoat & Cave's recent The Proposition is also superb.
Mad Mel has existed for the past thirty years and I agree Mel Gibson should have been Mad Max again.
Past 43 years actually 👍
Once of my high school drama teachers played the lead in an Ozploitation film called Dead End Drive In, and back in the day we used to razz him about it, even though it was a pretty good film...
When Tarantino visited Australia for the Jackie Brown premier back in the late 90's, he did an interview on morning radio, and he mentioned it as one of his favourite movies... that sure shut all us kids up lol...
Where's "Wake in Fright" on that list? Great Aussie film. "Snowtown" also good, "Chopper", "Romper Stomper", "Walkabout" - Australia has made some great films
Top 3 Aussie films for me personally (I'm Australian): Sunday Too Far Away (1975), Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) and The Castle (1997). Brilliant films all in their own way 😊
Strewth mate! He actually says 'Melbourne' like an Aussie! On ya Tarantino!! 😃🤠🇦🇺
Love QT. I can listen to him talk for hours so interesting. Interviews and press talks. His best Performance ever was defo From DUSK TILL DAWN
He makes some valid points about Fury Road.
Right. No Mel makes it less Max
@@dahan419 I watched Furiosa earlier tonight & I enjoyed it.
@@brianinglis3805 No one says it's bad, it's just not "Mad Max" movie, without Mad Max.
@@undinism69 Technically Max is in Furiosa.
@@brianinglis3805 reserving review of furiosa until I see it. Trailers look good. Was mainly referring to Fury Road.
The way he talks and explains things I think is excellent. I could just keep listening to him talk about movies all day honestly.
I'm genuinely surprised he didn't say Wolf Creek because he got that actor that played the killer out of that film to play a role in Django Unchained and he said he was the most chilling horror movie character he's seen on screen
I really want to have a conversation with Quentin about movies an entire day this guy is just a huge fanboy it’s so refreshing seeing that in someone as big as him
I hope he’s gunna include Bad Boy Bubby in this
"BE STILL YOU LITTLE CARNT!" 😛
You’re a bad boy bubby
One of the 70s / early 80s Aussie movies that resonated with me was Monkey Grip. Low budget 'indie' film that didn't need big action sequences - a rare gem.
The undisputed great australian film is Walkabout. Masterpiece. After that I really enjoy Muriel's Wedding and Strictly Ballroom, which are extremely fun and very very humanistic. I also wanna mention The Babadook.
Dinastía Chow Fan would walkabout be considered Australian even though the director isn’t?
It's a valid point. Buñuel made some of his best films in Mexico. I think they count as Mexican films, and they do not portray Mexico as richly and profoundly as Walkabout did with Australia.
@@dinastiachowfan1401 mmm i guess thats true
@@HNWRobertPaulsonHNW Lots of American films have been directed by foreigners. Is Witness an Australian film (or at least not properly American) because Peter Weir is Australian?
I love how frank and honest (unfiltered) he is when he speaks about movies.
7:55 Tarantino: "I still think the movie would've been better with Mel Gibson..."
So do I.
RedLightMax
Truth!!
We needed him to call immortal joe sugar tits on film 🤘🏻
I don't think most people realise how great Aussie cinema was in the late 70s and 80s. Every second movie I watched then was Australian. It was world class stuff. Even in the 90s it hung on. Sadly now it's pretty dead apart from the odd movie.
I think it was still excelling in the 90s. Ben Mendohlsen (remember Idiot Box?), Heath Ledger, Rose Byrne, Noah Taylor, the chick that was in Candy with Heath Ledger was also on the rise. 90s was a a great time for Aussie cinema. I went to the movies to see almost every one that was released. I miss those days
He's right that Mel Gibson would've been better in mad max fury road
He actually seems genuinely on board with Australian films. Well played, Tarantino.
I was happy to hear Quinton mention John Hargreaves as I grew up with his younger brother Peter H !
@Hello JOHN, How are you doing?
bad boy bubby, romper stomper, the cars that ate paris, dogs in space... theres so many he missed out on
QT has excellent taste. Road Games is just a damn fine enjoyable movie. Will try and find Next of Kin as that sounds intriguing.

It’s on Amazon Prime.
No one loves cinema more than Quentin Tarantino.
i'd love to know what tarantino thinks of "wake in fright " and love to hear him talk about it
Great call!
thats the reason i clicked on this i'm surprised he didn't say anything about it, it seems like something he definitely would have seen and would like
Wake In Fright is a *ride*, man. That movie changes you.
I think he would have enjoyed it but the kangaroo killing was too much. Probably turned him off for sure
I know Scorsese loved it
Great to see QT so relaxed during an interview😀
100% agree Tom Hardy should have been the kid grown up, what a shame. Great interview!
Watching this at the Orpheum in Sydney, Australia 70mm was one of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you Quentin ❤
Road games is a legendary movie!
And Jesus Christ yes. The feral kid concept would’ve worked for me too. Also the XB coupe never got its chance to shine. Max basically rode shotgun for the whole movie…
Nup, doesn't need explaining - he just turns up in it and the same thing happens to it. Only natural to assume Max's car wound up in the hands of someone he knew, years ago. You don't even need to explain Max's disappearance.
While we're here - if you get the chance, go see the Birdville Motor Museum - they have a car from Thunderdome on display, hacked together from an F-series. Fascinating to look at it up close.
Quentin Tarantino would finish his 10th final movie and be hailed as one of the all time greats up there with Kubrick and then become one of the best movie reviewers of all time! He could/would make millions off of UA-cam listeners alone.
The greatest film buff alive - if not ever.
And this is one of the reasons why I think it is so.
Dead Calm was an underrated film as well.
did I just hear an American pronounce Melbourne with the proper Australian accent? much respect.
Got to see Road Games in the early 80's when we got cable and only 3 movie channels. Then watched again on VHS. Great flick.
