1. Coffee
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDHhdXLwjE0 The Meltdown: After popping out to grab a drink and trudge through the snow-covered streets of like, Canada or something, Tarantino emerges from a coffee shop and finds himself staring directly into the lens of a paparazzi video camera. Instantly, he's agitated: after asking what the reporter is doing a couple of times (I.Q. of 160? I don't think so!), he demands that the camera be lowered. The pap, suddenly aware that he's potentially got a video of Tarantino going nuts in his hands, decides not to obey the command. That's when Tarantino unleashes a few skills he's obviously picked up from years of watching those Sonny Chiba flicks. He rounds on the pap like he's going to unleash the five-point palm exploding heart technique, knocks the camera upside down, and attacks with what can only be described as a "playground kick." He does all this without knowing that the guy is even part of the paparazzi. When the reporter tries to follow Tarantino (who has walked off at a genuinely impressive speed), the director returns to the fray and tells the cameraman " I'd be whopping your ass up and down these streets." Was It Justified? Well, it's hard to say. Tarantino probably could have done without the physicality, but he did ask the guy to lower his camera a couple of times before getting all kicky. Saying that, Tarantino is pretty famous and must know that people want to film him at inappropriate times. Presumably Uma Thurman wasn't returning his calls that day and he was having a super-bad time. What do you think of these Quentin Tarantino meltdowns? Have we missed any?
