* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Tarantino has a habit of publicly brainstorming out loud, and will often verbally bounce around ideas about movies but then rarely, if ever, mention them again--and then only to announce it probably won't happen. It's a common practice among Tarantino fans to take every one of his proposed ideas with a grain of salt until filming actually starts. Here's a list of examples:
** He wrote ''Film/TrueRomance'' and planned on directing it, but reportedly lost interest in the project, and it was subsequently handed over to Tony Scott, who took out Tarantino's signature nonlinear structure and aversion of [[GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shots]], in addition to changing the DownerEnding.
** He mentioned his desire to make a {{Biopic}} of violent abolitionist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist) John Brown]].
** ''Double V Vega'', a prequel starring the Vega brothers from ''Film/ReservoirDogs'' (Vic Vega aka "Mr. Blonde", played by Creator/MichaelMadsen) and ''Film/PulpFiction'' (Vincent Vega played by Creator/JohnTravolta). Eventually, he just abandoned the idea when the actors got too old.
** Prior to the dawn of the Creator/DanielCraig era of ''Franchise/JamesBond'', QT had designs on his own version of ''Literature/CasinoRoyale'', as a PeriodPiece in TheSixties (but potentially still with Creator/PierceBrosnan).
** ''Kill Bill Vol. 3'', which would focus on Vernita Green's daughter being trained by a now-blind Elle Driver to get revenge on the Bride for killing her mother, which has never become anything concrete.
** He's stated that he would like to adapt the novel ''Literature/LessThanZero'' to film.
** ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' was eventually made, but he had been talking about for over ten years in one form or another, including a miniseries, to the point where it became near-vaporware in Hollywood. He also mentioned a prequel in passing.
** He considered splitting ''Film/DjangoUnchained'' into two films like ''Kill Bill'', but ultimately decided against it.
** ''Killer Crow'', a World War II {{Blaxploitation}} film about black soldiers who make "a warpath to Switzerland" after being "fucked over by the American military," would have been the third chapter of a [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual]] trilogy that began with ''Django Unchained'' and ''Inglourious Basterds''.
** He's also spoken about doing an "earthbound" science fiction story that "wouldn't involve spaceships."
** After ''Film/TheHatefulEight'' was released, Tarantino has spoken about a number of ideas for his next project, including a 1930s gangster film set in Australia, a contemporary movie with "a cool driving montage," and "a really, really scary horror film." It remains to be seen whether he'll follow through with any of them.
** [[PlayingAgainstType Of all things]], he recently pitched an idea for a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' movie with the assistance of Creator/JJAbrams. Given that the future of the ''Trek'' movie series is [[DevelopmentHell currently in turmoil]], only time will tell if Trek by Tarantino ever sees the light of day.

* CareerResurrection: Tarantino has a knack for bringing forgotten or underappreciated film genres back to attention. Certain actors whose career has been in a slump for a while have had their careers resurrected by appearing in his movies. The most spectacular example is Creator/JohnTravolta, who was a has-been ever since the ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' craze died down, but became an A-list star again after starring in ''Film/PulpFiction''. Other actors Tarantino brought back in the limelight haven't had quite the same level of career revival but still became more notable in mainstream media again include Creator/PamGrier, Robert Forster, Creator/HarveyKeitel and Creator/KurtRussell. Additionally, Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh's performance in ''Film/TheHatefulEight'' earned her her first ever Academy Award nomination, following years in which she had been acting in somewhat more low-key projects.

** His pressuring of Creator/UmaThurman into performing a dangerous driving scene in ''Film/KillBill'' that caused her to crash and sustain permanent injuries also came back to haunt him during the [=#MeToo=] movement and forced him to issue an apology.

* ''Film/JackieBrown'' -- A just-making-it flight attendant collaborates with a bail bondsman to pull a heist on an arms dealer. Low-key and more smart than bloody, it disappointed viewers who expected work as stylish as ''Pulp Fiction'', but it has a loyal following and is critically highly acclaimed as his most "mature" work.

The Bride (and almost all of the female characters from ''Film/KillBill''), the second group of women from ''Death Proof'', ''Film/JackieBrown'', and ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''' Shoshanna Dreyfus are all examples. Action Girls are also referred to in other films. In ''Pulp Fiction'', Creator/UmaThurman's character once appeared in a TV pilot entitled "[[ShowWithinAShow Fox Force Five]]." In ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', the thieves talk about strong Pam Grier characters.
