Fans will know some or most of the stories, but even for an old veteran like myself, the piece has some nuggets to offer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/empirecoverresdogs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/empirecoverresdogs.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/empirecoverresdogs-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The special consists of an eight page title story with pictures from the movie, plus a whole bunch of interview quotes and an interesting point of view from director <em>Ben Wheatley<\/em>, whose recent <strong>Free Fire<\/strong> was about as Tarantinoesque as you could expect (I liked it a lot, if you haven\u2019t seen it yet, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2zoB0Mp\">you should get it on BluRay<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s a four-pager with <em>Michael Madsen<\/em> also by Damon with some juicy quotes by Michael and some nice portrait shots. Quentin himself wasn\u2019t available for this special because he was busy writing his latest movie at the time. Then there\u2019s a four page photo album with quotes and some rare behind the scenes shots of <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.tarantino.info\/index.php\/Reservoir_Dogs\"><strong>Reservoir Dogs<\/strong><\/a> (one of them I think recently made the rounds online, possibly even posted by Empire I am not sure) by <em>Linda Chen<\/em> (still photographer on this, as well as <strong>Pulp Fiction<\/strong>, <strong>Get Shorty<\/strong>, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>All in all this is a great special by the always great magazine.
