He couldn't just hit her?
I don't understand why Melanie would want to undermine the money exchangeand how did she get the balls to mess with an excon anyway?
Obviously, she didn't expect to get shot from effing with him, but what reaction DID she expect? -

She just wasn't very bright, and obviously had gotten a bit too relaxed and cocky around these guys.
Yeah I really wasn't expecting him to shoot her either, thought he was going to turn around and break her face. Didn't feel sorry for her, though.
then whoa, differences -

man, too many to count. If I have to pick one, the very beginning with Ordell showing Louis the "Chicks with guns" videotape and explaining all the various models and how much he gets from selling em. Insanely funny dialogue

I fell in love with the first scene: Jackie on the airport conveyor - and then again going into Del Amo mall. Excellent tracking shots. I would also agree with any scene featuring Jackie and Max. They were perfect.

Just before that, when Ordell shows up. I love every second of that scene. Especially after she takes control of the situation. I really like when he asks her to point the gun somewhere else, and she just moves it slightly to the right.
And it was a perfect set up for your scene. When she opens the door and says "You want your gun back?"
People will all now say they knew it was Max, but I bet a LOT of people thought it was Ordell.If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice

I have so many.
But if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the scene when Ordell kills Beaumont. The music, the change you see in Ordell's eyes as he puts on his gloves, to what that scene reveals and how it moves the story forward. We now know Ordell is a cold-blooded killer, and why he killed Beaumont, which makes the upcoming story arc with Jackie being the next one caught by the ATF so suspenseful.
I was in CVS a couple weeks ago and that song came on over the radio. I had to look it up since I couldn't get it out of my head, it's called Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson.
I love Quentin Tarantino's taste in music.

I agree with Jenna. The entire conversation between Ordell and Beaumont was true to life and beautifully performed. I almost thought that the actors were improvising, but I understand now that Tarantino's writing is THAT faithful to reality. The dialogue was organic; it was exactly what you'd expect the characters to say and how to say it.
Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs
and
Jackie Brown
made me a Tarantino fan, mostly on the strength of the gritty dialogue. -

Ordell trying to convince Beaumont to get in the trunk. I like Jackson and Tucker anyway, but that scene was hilarious especially considering I knew he's trying to get him in the trunk to kill him later.

When the two words "The End" come up on the screen. I lost interest at the interaction between BF and RD then when he shot her that capped it off in my opinion. Actually I am not a big De Niro fan to begin with so that didn't help matters.

My favorite scene has to be where Jackie is in the dressing room alone with the money and she looks at herself in the mirror. In that scene Pam Grier's eyes captured the moment perfectly. You can tell Jackie is thinking about her life.
