I absolutely loved this script. I read both the original Tarantino script and the Oliver Stone version and I must say they are both very different. But both were good none the same. Stone's was a lot more confusing and surreal however so I must say that I loved the Tarantino version the most.

I read the Tarantino version a long time ago when I first saw Pulp Fiction and I absolutely loved it as well. It's been about two years since I read it so I might go back and give it another read. I am yet to read the Oliver Stone version of the script and I haven't seen the movie either. I can't imagine why they would want to change the screenplay so much. I suppose Stone just wanted to modify it to fit his directing style a bit more.

I've heard the movie is really good so I'll get around to seeing it eventually. Unfortunately, I've got a lot of movies on my list so I have to get through those. But Natural Born Killers is high on there. Hopefully soon I'll get around to it.


Cheers, Chismeister.

I'm not a big Oliver Stone fan, to weird and boring for me. I've seen the movie and it was alright. The movie was different and did have a few good scenes and did well making fun of todays culture, but like some of his other movies(Doors, Born on the 4th of July) the overall effort was boring. Robert Downey Jnr. was great in it though, flawless Aussie accent. I wouldn't mind giving Tarantino's version a read.

Amen. Oliver Stone is such a clown to me. It's like he only does things for the sake of shock value. I hate his directing. Like in Any Given Sunday when he showed an eye laying on the field for no reason, and the Doors he did a terrible job with. I desperately wish someone else would've made a doors movie. Natural Born Killers was...interesting, but I think Tarantino could've done a much better job with it. I don't know why he didn't. But I didn't even know Tarantino wrote a script for NBK. I knew he came up with the story, but didn't know he wrote a whole script. I think I'm gonna check that out too.

he wrote the script and sold it before he made reservoir dogs and didn't want to direct it so oliver stone changed the script so much that quentin requested only to get story credit.

basicly only the opening and ending scenes is what remains of tarantino's script.

I heard that Tarantino didn't want to direct the script, because he felt that is was a novice script of his. He and Oliver Stone I heard got in arguments about the way Stone was taking it and Tarantino requested to not even have a credit in the film, but some how he got stuck with a Story credit. Well it looks like Tarantino was right anway, the final product sucked.

I used to really dig NBK but the more I read Tarantino's version the more I wish that one was used...it just had so much more to offer.

Sorry to revive this topic but I wanted to share my opinion.
