10 Irresistible Quentin Tarantino Spin-Offs That Definitely Deserve To Be Made

€œAre you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?€

Who? Vic Vega, or Mr. Blonde, played by Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs. And Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, from Pulp Fiction. Everyone knows these two career criminals are brothers. And for a while, Tarantino had planned on making a movie about them, which would obviously have to be a prequel since both characters met their demise by the end of their respective films. For a while, Tarantino went back and forth on this project. He didn€™t have much of a story idea and said there was no point doing it without a good story. When he did come up with something, it would have to be a prequel, when Vincent was in Amsterdam running one of Marsellus Wallace€™s clubs, and Vic would have come over to visit. Between Travolta€™s charm as Vincent and Madsen€™s psychotic tendencies as Vic, it would have been a real treat to see these two on-screen together. Likelihood? Probably the least likely of all of these. Tarantino did toy with the idea of doing it as a sequel with the Vega Brothers actually being four siblings as opposed to two, and Madsen and Travolta would have played the older brothers coming to get revenge for the deaths of their younger ones. A better idea, I think, would be to have Vic and Vincent be the Vega Cousins instead of the Vega Brothers, and then the movie would be about their fathers (played by the now-older Travolta and Madsen), the actual Vega Brothers, avenging the murders of their sons. But Tarantino said that now Travolta and Madsen may be too old to even do it as a sequel with them playing characters. So, like the Captain Koons idea, file this under €œman, wouldn€™t it have been cool if this happened€€
