Willem Dafoe looking angry as he points his cigarette at someone in The Boondock Saints
The Boondock Saints director Troy Duffy gleefully admits that he ripped off Quentin Tarantino for the Willem Dafoe scenes. Written and directed by Duffy in his feature debut, the 1999 film follows Irish twin brothers who turn into vigilantes after killing two Russian mobsters in self-defense and, following a shared epiphany, the brothers embark on a mission to cleanse Boston of its criminal underworld in the name of God, all while being tracked by an FBI Agent.
In Reservoir Dogs, they went through that extensive flashback sequence where Tim wrote the script of the story he was going to tell to the mobsters, and then he's in the bathroom explaining it right in front of the barking dogs. I realized the usual experience an audience would have in a flashback was this lazy A to B to C. When I saw Tarantino do that, I'm like, “My God, you can do anything. That's a whole new way to tell a story, not just connect the dots.
