Quentin Tarantino is one of the most beloved filmmakers working today and is responsible for some of the most iconic movies of all time. Though there are certain qualities that all his movies share, like sharp dialogue and extreme violence, audiences never really know what to expect with a Tarantino movie.

Tarantino loves to shock his audiences by playing with expectations and subverting the genre tropes. He’ll usually throw in some surprise that takes the story in a whole new direction and can often be even more thrilling. Here are the best plot twists in Quentin Tarantino movies.

10 Jackie Is Playing Everyone (Jackie Brown)

Though it is maybe not as well-known as some of his other work, Jackie Brown is definitely one of Tarantino’s best films to date. The movie is based on an Elmore Leonard novel and stars Pam Grier as the titular character, a flight attendant who works with the FBI to take down her arms dealer boss.

Jackie is probably Tarantino’s most likable protagonist which makes the reveal of her true plan so satisfying. Jackie plays all the sides against each other, making them see her as a helpless pawn all while she steals hundreds of thousands of dollars right under their noses.

9 Jody Was There The Whole Time (The Hateful Eight)

Tarantino returned to his beloved Western genre with the scaled-down story of The Hateful Eight. The film finds a group of strangers trapped together in a cabin during a blizzard as tensions begin to rise.

Throughout the film, Daisy Domergue is held as a prisoner by bounty hunter John Ruth, all the while insisting her outlaw brother, Jody, will come to rescue her. In the third act, it is revealed Jody has been there the whole time, hiding in the basement, and he’s played by Channing Tatum to add to the surprise.

8 Mr. Orange Is A Cop (Reservoir Dogs)

Tarantino cemented his unique and captivating style with his first film Reservoir Dogs. The film follows a group of criminals following a heist gone wrong who hideout in a warehouse and attempt to determine which of them ratted them out.

Halfway through the film, as Mr. Blonde is torturing a captured cop, Mr. Orange shoots him dead, revealing himself to be an undercover cop. Considering Mr. Orange had been bleeping to death for most of the film, he was far from the obvious choice.

7 The Basterds Aren’t The Heroes (Inglourious Basterds)

Tarantino’s World War II epic, Inglourious Basterds was promoted as a film about a group of Jewish soldiers who terrorize the Nazis during the war. The film starred Brad Pitt as the Basterds leader and most people assumed he was the film’s min hero.

However, the movie was much more of an ensemble with the Basterds taking up about a third of the story. Even more surprising, Pitt and his men prove to be pretty incompetent and the real hero is a young Jewish woman named Shoshanna.

6 The Bride’s Daughter Is Alive (Kill Bill Vol. 1)

Tarantino reteamed with Uma Thurman for the wild two-part revenge film Kill Bill. The first film opens with The Bride (Thurman) being left for dead after her entire wedding is massacred by her former boss. The Bride wakes up from a coma and finds she is no longer pregnant. She then sets out on a bloody quest for revenge.

However, in the final moments of Kill Bill Vol. 1, Bill is speaking to his associate Sophie who had a run-in with The Bride. He calmly asks Sophie if The Bride knows her daughter is alive, setting the stage for Kill Bill Vol. 2.

5 Schultz And Candie’s Early Deaths (Django Unchained)

Tarantino took the style of the American Western and transported it into the deep South in the ugly time of slavery. Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as the titular slave turned bounty hunter who teams with his partner King Schultz to find his wife.

Django and Schultz eventually find his wife who is a slave for a ruthless man named Calvin Candie. While they attempt to make a deal of his wife’s life, the negotiations go sour and Shultz kills Candie before being killed himself. It was quite shocking to see two central characters taken out so far from the film’s climax.

4 Stuntman Mike Is A Coward (Death Proof)

Among all his work, Death Proof is probably ranked as one of Tarantino’s least liked, but it is still a thrilling grindhouse film. The unique take on the slasher movie stars Kurt Russell as a deranged stuntman named Stuntman Mike who kills with his supped-up car.

The second half of the film finds Stuntman Mike terrorizing a group of girls on the roads. However, the girls later turn the tables on him and Mike proves to be a big baby. He cries and begs for mercy as the women give him an epic beatdown.

3 Butch Kills Vincent (Pulp Fiction)

Tarantino’s masterpiece Pulp Fiction features an all-star cast, but it was touted as the big comeback for John Travolta. Indeed, Travolta is great as Vincent Vega, the heroin shooting hitman and he is front-and-center in the film’s first storyline.

However, the movie then shifts to focus on Butch (Bruce Willis), a boxer on the run from Vincent’s boss. When Butch goes to his apartment, he runs into Vincent and kills him. Though Vincent is seen in flashbacks, later on, it was wild to see the character killed off halfway through the film.

2 They Kill Hitler (Inglourious Basterds)

The third act of Inglourious Basterds finds all of the storylines and characters coming together for a big plot. During a screening of a Nazi propaganda film, the Basterds are going to attempt to assassinate Hitler.

Proving that he is more interested in entertaining audiences than he is with historical accuracy, Tarantino allows the Basterds to carry out their mission. Not only do they kill Hitler and most of his entourage, but they also overkill him, blasting his face off before blowing him up.

1 Sharon Tate Lives (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood)

Tarantino’s latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, serves as his love letter to a certain era in film and television, while also exploring the life of Sharon Tate, who was murdered by the Manson Family.

However, when the film gets to the fateful night of the murders, Tarantino plays with history once again. Instead of going to Tate’s house, the killers go to the home of Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth who both proceed to brutally kill the Manson followers. The film ends with Rick meeting Sharon Tate as it imagines a world where she lived on.
