Quentin Tarantino fans have been treated to a sneak peek of a movie mash-up spectacular fusing the Kill Bill director's most iconic images with the videos to his soundtracks and the best of recent pop culture thrown in to mind-melting effect.
James Hyman's A Quentin Tarantino Mash-up takes fans on an epic journey seeing QT soundtrack songs spliced with hits by Kanye West, Pete Doherty, Tears For Fears and Missy Elliot and the mix cd even proved popular with the legendary Pulp Fiction star.
When James met the writer-director at the Death Proof after party with Purple Revolver, Quentin quoted parts of his own dialogue at him and asked the mash-up producer for some obscure Jackie Brown music, saying: "You've got more of the good Jackie Brown shit than me. Hook me up."
James is currently in talks to take the feature-length mash-up on the road when Quentin's savage Nazi blood-letting war epic Inglorious Basterds hits our screens at the end of August.
The mash-up trailer has been uploaded on YouTube already attracting thousands of hits - watch it here.
James said: "I originally created the A Quentin Tarantino mash-up mix-CD, 'Pulp Mixin' five years ago as a tribute, which travelled the world and got other fans excited.
"Seeing the mix-CD get the thumbs up from the man himself - with QT quoting chunks of it back to me at a Death Proof VIP party was one of life's best surreal geek moments.
"So it only seemed logical to take it to the next level with Inglorious Basterds coming up and create a video mash-up.
"Have a look at the trailer taken from the full-length feature film. Thanks to everyone involved in helping with this so far, please share & leave feedback on YouTube or wherever this turns up, if you like it."
James was MTV Europe's head of dance music as the genre exploded in the UK and interviewed the Prodigy, Goldie, Moby, Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin all before they won mainstream attention.
Meanwhile five days before Basterds' Cannes debut, Quentin’s revealed a few soundtrack listings for his WWII orgy of violence.
As any Quint fan knows, he never just slings these things together, and the selection’s as personal and eclectic as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill.
There are several nods to cult film history with David Bowie’s Cat People (Putting Out The Fire) from the soundtrack to Paul Schrader’s 1982 Cat People remake and the title track from 1972 Blaxploitation flick Slaughter.
There’s a strong spaghetti western flavour to the playlist too – courtesy of veteran Dollars Trilogy composer Ennio Morricone, one of QT's favourite movie score composers.
