Ever since the success of Pulp Fiction, director Quentin Tarantino has openly discussed his idea a sequel and prequel to Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. The Vega Brothers would have united the characters played by Michael Madsen and John Travolta in both films (while the characters were never linked as brothers in the story, they both had the same last name). Now Tarantino has revealed what the movie would have and could have been, and it’s current status:
“I even had a title for it. It was called Double V Vega. It actually would have taken place during the time Vincent was in Amsterdam, when he was running one of Marcellus’ clubs in Amsterdam. And Vic goes to visit him,” revealed Tarantino on Opie and Anthony.
“But we’re a little older now, and since they both died - it would have to be a prequel,” said Tarantino. “I actually came up with a way I could have done it, even being older and dead where they all had older brothers and both of their brothers got together because the two guys died. And they wanted revenge or something like that. But now, they [the actors] are too old for that.”"I got to say, it’s kind of unlikely now.”

These quotes were taken word for word from an interview QT did this past Tuesday (4/3/07) on the Opie and Anthony show. You should at least credit where you got them from.

i was thinking just that. now are you going to reveal the “big” scene that was cut from Kill Bill as a big surprise too?
long story short: bride kills all the crazy 88’s, one last guy between her and O-Ren. he doesn’t wear the mask (because it will mess up his f’ing hair). he and bride discuss killing each other. O-Ren loses her temper and screeches at him to kill her. Bride asks if he wants to work for someone that treats her employees like dirt. he shrugs, drops his mask (which is on a stick, think masquerade ball) and walks out. cut to Bride and O-Ren going at it.
QT said he cut it during the writing process of Kill Bill because the movie was getting too long. at that point the studio hadn’t said cut it into two movies. if they had said it was going to be, he would have put it in.
all of this was revealed by QT on the Opie & Anthony show, Tuesday, April 3rd.
