In more recent years, Tarantino has confirmed that Mr. Blonde aka Vic Vega is in fact related to another character in Tarantino's cinematic universe - he's the brother of Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega (John Travolta).

In fact, Tarantino was originally planning to make a prequel follow-up starring the two brothers called "Double V Vega", but as time went on, he decided that Madsen and Travolta had gotten too old to convincingly play their younger selves and ditched the idea.

It's a damn shame, because this obviously could've been something incredibly special. Add it to the growing pile of unrealised projects Tarantino's been attached to over the years, then.
