Russia’s first UFC belt holder Oleg Taktarov who has starred in Hollywood movies, spoke in an interview with about meeting director Quentin Tarantino.
– Tarantino was with us at the 2001 premiere of ’15 Minutes of Fame’. But James Woods was there, and for me, James Woods is a greatness. With Robert De Niro (also starred in the movie “15 Minutes of Glory.” – “”) everything went well for us, and because of this I perceived him more as an older comrade . And Woods, when he came, was a childhood hero to me, from “Once Upon a Time in America” (he played Max Berkovich. – “”), and so I just said hello to Tarantino at that time and that’s him.
Quentin Tarantino is a man who watched old movies very carefully. The old always needs to be re-covered, and I’m not saying it made it better, but it gave us a reason to reconsider some footage. For example, I didn’t know that Django was originally played by Franco Nero, an 81-year-old Italian actor. I watched a lot of movies and learned about them through references in Tarantino movies.
For me, of course, his main film is Pulp Fiction, because you can see his work there, you can see his decisions, where all the stories come together in one.
Everything they had then, they almost missed. In general, it is rare that someone can create more than one project, one song, one movie,” Taktarov told .
