Quentin Tarantino, however, has spent the 20 years between Reservoir Dogs and Django Unchained crafting an intricate, instantly recognisable movie universe – one which boasts a family tree of miscreants that overlap between movies in weird and wonderful ways.

Instead, they're like Easter Eggs that reward observant onlookers: in-jokes that might mean nothing to us, but mean the world to their creator. - Tom Himpe
