Yeah, no. Elmore Leonard is one of Tarantino's influences, not the other way around.

Plus Tarantino advised Travolta to take the role. It's Sonnenfeld through and through.

I see people giving Tarantino credit for a lot of things he had nothing to do with. One person on Reddit claimed he was responsible for John Woo being hired in Hollywood.

Do a two-second Google search. You’ll see this is considered a Pulp Fiction clone. It’s not really an obscure movie though.

He's just saying the author of the novel is a Tarantino influence and the source material for the movie preceded Pulp Fiction.

Elmore Leonard also wrote Rum Punch which was adapted as Jackie Brown.

That’s fair. I guess that might make “knock off” less hard to argue.

That doesn't actually help your argument. Personal opinions are not objective reality.

My arguments are fine. You do you.
