Django Unchained
Without spoiling the Christmas movie of 2012, the spaghetti western will surely fill your quota for blood splatter, if only in the gruesome final shoot 'em up sequence.
Inglourious Basterds
"Every man under my command owes me 100 Nazi scalps," Brad Pitt barks in this twisted 2009 WW2 fantasy. Cut to: A realistic-looking scene of a soldier being scalped. Barf.
Death Proof
Car accidents are brutal. But in Tarantino's hands, as in this 2007 Grindhouse feature where a tire rips one girl's face off while another, Jungle Julia, loses her entire leg, they're downright horrifying.
Kill Bill: Volume 2
How do you top the original Kill Bill? Have Beatrix (Uma Thurman) ditch her samurai sword and rip out Daryl Hannah's remaining eye with her bare hand, then squish the eyeball between her toes. Naturally.
Kill Bill: Volume 1
The first volume of the Kill Bill saga (2003) had an insane body count. In no small part thanks to O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Lui), who in one gotta-see-it-to-believe-it scene teaches a Japanese Mafioso not to talk back by beheading him.
Jackie Brown
While the 1997 bank heist film was less in your face than other Tarantino fare, Robert De Niro and Bridget Fonda did go on an expletive-laced shopping trip that ended with him unexpectedly shooting her in the parking lot.
Pulp Fiction
After overdosing on heroine, kingpin wife Mia (Uma Thurman) is stabbed in the heart with a hypodermic needle by Vincent (John Travolta). Guaranteed to make you wince (and think twice about dabbling in drugs).
Pulp Fiction
Here are the components: Butch (Bruce Willis) and Marsellus (Ving Rhames) held captive by psychotic hillbillies. A leather-clad sex slave called The Gimp. And the infamous line, "I'mma get medieval on your ass." Need we say more?
True Romance
Tarantino wrote the 1993 flick (directed by Tony Scott) so this epic dialogue scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken, which uses fruits as insults and ends with a bang, is surprising and not surprising at the same time.
True Romance
The story? Christian Slater marries a hooker and steals coke from her pimp. The shock? The hooker, Alabama (Patricia Arquette) is savagely beaten by Jame Gandolfini during a hotel interrogation. But still manages to come out on top.
Reservoir Dogs
Tarantino's debut set the tone for the rest of his work: In one scene Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) tortures a cop...by cutting off his ear. Forget the blood splatter, the policeman's screams are sure to make your skin crawl.
