When Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown hit theaters in the 1997 holiday season, the film didn’t explode into the cultural zeitgeist like his previous film, Pulp Fiction, had. Unlike that film, this was more of a straight adaptation of the novel Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard and told a more linear story. To some, it was a disappointment, but in the years that followed, Tarantino’s third film came to be viewed as an underrated gem and one of the best entires in his filmography.
In this episode of WTF Happened to this Movie, we dig Ito why Tarantino opted to adapt Leonard for his Pulp Fiction follow-up. We look at how 70s blaxploitation icon Pam Grier ended up in the lead, and how character actor Robert Forster managed to beat on Robert De Niro for the second lead, with the iconic actor finally taking on a smaller part. Plus, we look at Samuel Jackson’s inspiration for his role, the movie’s initially cool reception and more!
This episode is written and narrated by Mathew Place, and edited by Ric Solomon. Where do you think Jackie Brown stacks up in the Tarantino filmography? Let us know in the comments!

All due respect, he didn't have many critics back then. Post-"Pulp Fiction", he was almost universally venerated. He was admired for the violence in his films. If he had any critics, they were few and far between and I doubt he cared. Although if I remember correctly, when "Pulp Fiction" won the Palm D'or, some salty lady in the audience ridiculed Tarantino, yelling that it "was shit". Which is pretty funny. I believe Tarantino made "Jackie Brown"....simply because he wanted to. I remember seeing him on the Charlie Rose show, promoting "Pulp Fiction", where he said for his next film he wanted to adapt a novel. So he did.

Many of QT's movies are crazy good rewatchable films. You miss so much stuff first time seeing them. 1. Pulp Fiction second viewing your looking for other stuff since we now know proper timeline. 2. Kill BIll is very rewatchable and almost feels like every chapter is it's own Movie Short. 3. Jackie Brown is something you could almost play on a loop just to be able to hang with these characters. 4. OUATIH has so many hidden easter eggs its worth watching to see what else you missed. So many more but these come to mind right away.

Every character just felt so real in this movie. I often feel like I'm watching characters in movies. This movie I felt like I was watching people. The locations, the lighting, the mood. The police interogation offices felt like those offices, the bars felt like bars, the outdoor scenes you felt how hot and glaring the sun was. This is without a doubt deserving of a place on every best movie list.

This IS QT's best film. Not to say that he's made a bad one yet. (Though I am not a huge fan of Hateful 8.) I dig all of his films, even those he only wrote and didn't direct. And Jackie wasn't always my favorite. It became so in the early 2010s. I was transferring some of my VHS to DVD and rediscovered it. I watched it again like it was the first time. I forgot I was even taping it until the credits were ending. It's Quentin's most grounded film. That's one of the reasons why I love it so much. Don't get me wrong; many of his movies are great, but there's a hyper realism, almost a surrealism to most of them.

I remember going into this movie expecting another Pulp Fiction. At the time I enjoyed it, but it definitely was not what I was expecting. However, I would say that this movie stuck with me more than almost every other movie at that time (Dark City being the main one). After having seen it many times and buying it on VHS back in the day, I'd definitely rate it as my favorite QT movie. Also got into Elmore Leonard after this and have read most of his library.

I remember loving this film when i first seen it, i was in my last year of high school and nobody in my group of friends really liked it, everyone else in my class who had seen it said it was crap, boring, hardly anything happened and while i can understand why some might not click with it, it’s a very long movie with it’s biggest action scene being about two bags being switched, i just absolutely loved it. One scene in particular that stood out to me when I first seen it was when Beaumont is finally convinced to get in the trunk, Ordell gets in the car and plays Strawberry Letter, turns up the volume (so cool it sounds like he turns up the volume on my tv) and then he drives off… but the camera stays and slowly moves as we see Ordell park around the corner and then shoots Beaumont but from such a far away camera angle. It still felt impactful even though we could barely see anything but it showed Ordell was a cold blooded killer. I just remember thinking i loved everything about that scene, the way the music was used, the way it was filmed, it was just different and brilliant. The amazing performances, a believable story that’s paced in a way that almost feels real time with its lengthy scenes and it never goes over the top with its violence or set pieces. It’s mostly a very chill watch and just like Tarantino said of Once Upon A Time, it’s a hang out movie. I absolutely love the relationship that builds between Pam Grier and Robert Forster. Although the entire cast is great, I could of quite happily watched an entire film with just those two characters. Robert De Niro, who is my favourite actor of all time… i was initially a little underwhelmed by his mostly quiet performance, apart from when he gets stressed out later, I just didn’t expect his presence to be so quiet and i guess i was a little too young to appreciate what he was doing with the character. I’ve grown to love his more subtle performance over the years. And the soundtrack is brilliant. I could go on and on about this movie, this post is way too long as it is. It’s easily my favourite Tarantino movie, Hollywood is second and probably Inglorious is third.

I honestly think I became a man while watching this movie. It was one of the first movies I saw that wasn't a cartoon or a vapid action flick. The characters were actually talking to each other about... stuff. There are a few things in life that gave me that, "I'm not sure why I enjoy this, but I think I'm a man now" feeling. Here's a few... - Seeing Natalie Portman in 'The Professional'. - My first kiss in the school auditorium. - Watching 'The Howard Stern Show' in the 90s - Playing GTA for the first time.

But too many people just wanted the full Tarantino experience.

Another Quentin Tarantino/Pam Grier connection is in QT's first film, "Reservoir Dogs." The brief connection gives mention of Grier by the group of Nice Guy Eddie, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Pink, and Mr. Orange as they are driving to the pre-caper meeting just after picking up Mr. Orange. Pam Grier is mistakenly identified as starring in either the television series or the film of "Get Christie Love" during Nice Guy Eddie's story about E-Lois (a waitress at one of "Daddy's" clubs.)

It's funny that you just did this video about this movie, when I just found a copy of the book again last weekend. I've owned several copies that get lost somehow and I always have to replace it cuz it's one of my favorite Elmore Leonard books. Can't pick a favorite or of the almost 60 books of his I've read. The man is just that good of a writer. And this is the best adaptation of one of his books. Out of sight is almost better, but not as good of a story.

Jackie Brown is an underrated gem. Tarantinos best movie. Pam Griers performance was Oscar-worthy!

I grew up in Detroit, and I am very skeptical of anyone who tries to adapt Elmore Leonard. QT did such a great job with this. I've watched this more than any QT movie.

When I saw this on release day in 1997, I seem to be the only person that was disappointed coming from a masterpiece like Pulp Fiction and the Tarantino written From Dusk Til Dawn. I will admit Jackie Brown gets better with repeat viewings and I love Fonda's character and her demise in the mall parking lot. This one is still better than the boring Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bills are still his best work in my opinion.

Pitied up against Helen Hunt that year, QT was correct. Pam Grier did have a far better performance in Jackie Brown. Notice no one brings up As Good As It Gets.

I love Jackie Brown but I will always wonder what could have been with Freaky Deaky, my favorite Elmore Leonard book... that would have made an awesome Tarantino movie Also, just to note since you touch on it in this video, yes Rum Punch was actually a sequel of sorts to Leonard's 1978 book The Switch, which also featured the characters of Ordell, Lewis, Melanie and Mr. Walker and is also a good read... but then again all of Mr. Leonard's books are

Historically, winning an Oscar is a career killer. Jackie Brown will live on as a classic long after the competition has been forgotten. Spike needs to smoke a "joint."
