Do you think the Tarantino non-linear approach would've been better than the Tony Scott approach. I know...that question is nearly impossible to answer without Tarantino actually redirecting the movie as a remake (which could happen at some point in the future, especially considering Scott is dead).

I think his approach would make the movie too much like Pulp Fiction.

IMO, Tony Scott did it right the first time.

Well TR was released before PF, but he also did it already with Reservoir Dogs.

I prefer Scott's version and think it's perfect the way it was.

When Clarence and Alabama escape the final showdown


not in the script btw, well at least half of them. i wouldve been ok with clarence not surviving and alabama having his baby etc. but the ending they went with was more hollywood and i didn't think it took away from the film.

i don't know how tarantino approached the storyline (whether it was linear or not) but it absolutely was better in the final cut. clarence and alabama's relationship grows as the story progresses. it's a huge part of the story.

It would have had out of order chronology like Pulp Fiction, and Clarence would have died at the end.

shite i missed this my bad.

i definitely like the linear approach to this film. it's essential to view alabama and clarence growing as shite starts to happen to them.
