Anyone else ever seen this or know what it is? I found it about a week ago and freakin' love it! I can't believe I finally got to see this lost movie. Heres the deal:

This is Quentin Tarantino's first movie he ever made and was shot bit by bit over three years, 1984 - 1987. Tarantino and some of his buds made this while he still worked at the Video Archives video store for about 5000 dollars. Its only about 35 minutes though as the last reel was destroyed in a fire and is lost forever and ever. Its actually a comedy and QT's friends report he was on a screw ball comedy jag at the time. There is a scene where (look at avatar!) QT snorts what he thinks is coke that turns out to be itching powder that is just too funny! "I'm in hell! Call 9/11!"

QT says this was basically his film school and its interresting to note that there are a lot of tid bits of this film that carried over into his other films. K-Billy, fucking elvis, Clarence and Micky are just a few examples. (True Romance/Natural Born Killers) Some of the plot was developed into the movie "True Romance".

I do not think there is any sort of copyright on this "student" film as QT uses a few songs in this movie that I know he has no rights too. So seek and maybe you will find it too.

How come some movie threads make it to the front page and not others?



Edit: Guess it just takes an hour to happen.

Upon viewing this tour de force, I have come to the conclusion that it is Tarantino's greatest work.

His Andrew Dice Clay-esque fits were so moving I had to pause the movie and cry.

Glad you guys like it. He really should redo this movie.


It seems someone has posted this up on mininova for anyone who cares.


I looked into it and it seems QT holds no copyright on this film as it is unfinished and uses songs he didn't have the rights to use. So its free and clear.

No seeds :(


The tracker is going up and down for some reason. Its rolling on DHT right now. This was probably the wrong tracker for someone to choose huh.

17 peers for me and no seeds :( you can upload it somewhere else and I can just add that tracker to the torrent iv already got.

Im using utorrent's dht and I have no seeds are you using azureus?

Yeah, I started with Utorrent and it wasn't doing well at all so I switched back to Azureus. Ive tried seeding a few things with Utorrent and it seems to take twice as long to seed the whole file. Ive tried to find a good place to up the torrent so I could add the tracker but can't seem to find a good spot. Where is a place I won't have to sign up? there should be some other seeds soon, there are about three people getting close to 100%


Ahhh, I just found the beehive, hopefully it will get better soon.

Maybe not hell damn it all. I'm not even showing up as a seed on my end. Every once in awhile I just vanish in thin cyber space. I'll not use this tracker again I swear.


Its been upped to newnova now also but not showing up yet.
