Quentin Tarantino's Sordid Plan for the "Kill Bill" Premiere | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Now man, there's a lot to talk about here, first of all, I love Kill Bill, I really enjoyed it and they make me go to a lot of screenings and movies that I don't like and I was in that movie, thank you. was in it from the beginning and I'm waiting for the second part and now, but I understand that the

premiere

of Kill Bill because this movie has been very successful, a lot of people liked this movie, you had a great

premiere

, everyone came, but you didn't you were happy, you weren't happy with the release, yeah, well the reason is because this is a Grindhouse movie, okay, it was inspired by the drive-ins and all the ghetto movie theaters that I went to to see all the Kung movies Fu and black exploitation films and spaghetti westerns when I was a kid, so we had the premiere, it was a beautiful theater, I think one of the best theaters in the world, the Grommets Chinese Theater, which is in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, and It is a milestone, it is a legend in itself.

The weather is fine, but you know it's pretty high class, and the same with the premiere, where you know the celebrities show up and they have to go through the whole red carpet and it all takes away from the Grindhouse experience. So I had an idea. I thought: How can I make this premiere real ghetto? How can we take it to the ghetto level? That's when you came to Conan because I'm Street, oh yeah, nothing says street cred like like this guy here, yeah, right, uh, no, go ahead, what did you do? I was having different thoughts, how can I bring this down to Carson's twin level?

Okay, where I grew up going to movies and I thought, well, wait a minute. One of the things I could do is, uh, I can let it out. I could unleash a bunch of rats in the movies. So while people were looking at him like that, what happens in a ghetto movie theater when he was watching old kung fu movies? The '70s, all of a sudden, something happens through your shoe, and all of a sudden you have a little friend, you know, right in your chair, okay, that's going to make him a ghetto, that's going to make him a Geto, wait, we're talking. but there are big celebrities sitting in the audience at this premiere, you know you have like some of those, you have to get that red carpet out of their system, okay, I want them to enjoy the movie, but then it occurred to me. with a really cool idea, if we're going to put it together there the right way, really do it, really do it right, you take about a hundred tickets, say there's like, you know, 500 seats in the theater, okay, and you know, 400 are full. with celebrities, okay, okay, you take a hundred tickets, go to Compton, okay, okay, you give 50 tickets to all the Crips, okay, okay, okay, free movie, Quentin Tarantino's new movie here, come see it, come Let's see it, come and see the premiere to

night

.

Premiere, okay, you got it, man, okay, uh, free, 40, you got it okay, then you cross the street to the Bloods, okay, it's funny that they live right across the street from each other, it should be. walking distance on the right you cross the street and you get 50 tickets to the Bloods okay now all the celebrities show up at the premiere okay okay and what you do is you know they don't know what this is . it's going to happen, but what you need to do is print two jackets with Kill Bill, one is red and one is blue, so when uh uh uh Alec Baldwin and Jack Nicholson and Billy Baldwin, yeah, Laura Flynn Boyle, okay, when they all show up to see the movie Stephen Baldwin, right, the Baldwin, okay, you say, uh, James Baldwin, when they show up to see them, you say you can't get in unless you pick a red jacket or a blue jacket, okay, so all the celebrities have red or blue, okay, and they're all in the theater, they're okay, okay, okay, then after all the celebrities are seated, then you let them in through the main doors, it's alright, you turned on the 50 Crips, alright, alright, and everyone come do gangsters there, alright and the celebrities wait, that was Popeye, you just did 50 blues and blues since it blew up, alright, all the celebrities watch that, so you have a Chinese celebrity, Scooby is there, yeah, yeah, okay, then you have bites, so they are here, okay, then you have this off like most movie theaters, you have the screen and then you have the two additional signs right here, okay, then you let 50 joints in, okay, okay, boom, they come in. okay, the Bloods see the Crips, right, the Crips see the Bloods, the celebrities see everyone else and we're the rats in all this, the rest run around, the rats see everyone, okay, and then the rats say: hey and like everyone else. just uh look here, he said everyone else turn off the lights and start moving.

I love that idea, it's an idea experience. I love this because I think that you are a director, you can present an idea very well. I think I'd love to see you. He comes in and presents a very standard idea for the Gilligan's Island plot because I think it's exciting. Kids always do it a little differently. It would always do what you've never seen before, exactly right. You know, like someone. You know, it's like Marianne. and Ginger would get pregnant on my Gilligan's Island, yeah, yeah, and Skipper and his little friend are up there, both of them.

They mix with each other all the time. Great, this is a new Gilligan's Island that I would see, you know, just the captain up there. look at it, little fellas, butt, you know, you just rock every day and you're sailors, you know, sailors say no more, say no more, uh, we gotta prove what we talked about, there's no time to talk about all these cool things we have. clip here from Kill Bill and I want to make sure we set it up correctly. I think this is the Go-Go clip, right? I love Go-Go, well, he almost stole a damn movie, he's cool and, uh, that thing.

In the movie, Uma Thurman has to fight an entire army of people to get to Lucy Liu's character, a wren, and what ends up happening is that her number one bodyguard is a 16-year-old girl in a Japanese schoolgirl uniform and quite an extravagant body. weapon, she's a cool weapon, yeah, and the thing is, she's literally a Japanese anime come to life, so this is Uma Thurman's character, the girlfriend versus the teenage bodyguard. GoGo, your body, okay, let's take a look at this clip from Kill Bill's minions for me to

kill

hello go go I know you feel like you have to protect your lover I beg you to stay away she's a great idea to uh Brad se he's getting ready to get his ass pounded right there yeah I won't fight that woman uh Kill Bill volume one is in theaters now and volume two is coming.

I'll get out, hopefully, if I finish it in time. February. Please come back and talk about it. We love to talk. Invite me. Quentin Tarantino. All. I could come back right away.
