    My Best Friend's Birthday

    When he was 23, Tarantino gathered a group of friends and began shooting My Best Friend's Birthday, which would become the basis for True Romance. Most of the film had been victim of a fire during the editing; the surviving film can be found online. The first part of the story concerned a DJ (Tarantino) and his guest discussing the rock and roll star Eddie Cochran. A friend of the DJ then comes with a bag of smack, on which the DJ almost died over.

    Reservoir Dogs

    Chronologically speaking, True Romance was the first script done by Tarantino. After being declined many times, and after many failed attempts to finish it independently, he wallowed into a small depression, but he soon got himself out of it and began writing his first sold script, Reservoir Dogs. The story concerns six crooks, all strangers to each other, that - after a heist gone awry - begin to believe that there is a rat in the house. The film was praised by critics. After this, Tarantino was an eye to keep out for; this brought the birth of the sale of True Romance.

    True Romance

    The film was the first to not be directed by Tarantino, but at the same time penned. Tony Scott, the director, originally wanted to do both Reservoir Dogs and True Romance, but Tarantino talked him into just doing True Romance, and Tarantino doing Reservoir Dogs. The story centers around two lovebirds, Clarence and Alabama. One night, Clarence brutally kills her pimp and on his way out, accidentally grabs a briefcase full of smack.
