| Product placement may be nothing new in movies, but made-up product placement definitely is. Tarantino's manufactured manufacturers furnish his movies with quirky brands that serve a dual purpose: riffing off pop culture (Teriyaki Donut, anyone?) while enhancing a parallel Tarantino-designed universe where anything goes, and usually does. From G.O. Juice to Red Apple Cigarettes, these post-modern props pop up across the QT canon, with Hawaii's own Big Kahuna Burger chain making the most appearances. It turns up in Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn and Death Proof, and even sneaks an appearance in Tarantino's section of Four Rooms. But then it is a tasty burger. |
