Quentin Tarantino is a true master of his craft. The director is truly passionate about his work and surprises his fans every time. He even managed to create his own small universe inside the films, which we will talk about in more detail today. 
Rumors that the characters from the director's films are related have been circulating for a long time. At the same time, not only those films where he acted as a director were interconnected, but also those in which he acted as a producer and screenwriter. Tarantino confirmed the rumors themselves after the release of The Hateful Eight in 2016.
Mia Wallace and Beatrix Kiddo 
At first glance, these ladies have nothing in common. But Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction, before dancing with Travolta, said that she wanted to become an actress and even starred in the pilot of a series about female mercenaries from the Fox-5 team.
This team included a blonde commander, a Japanese fox, a kung fu master, a dark-skinned demolition expert, and a French woman with a specialty in sex. Mia herself, in her words, played the best stabbing artist in the world. 
Thus, it turns out that the heroine of Uma Thurman in “Pulp Fiction” plays the heroine of Uma Thurman in “Kill Bill.” After all, this description of Mia is suitable for what happens in the Kill Bill duology.
Vic and Vincent Vega
John Travolta's character from Pulp Fiction, this guy: 
He is the brother of Mike Madsen's character from Reservoir Dogs: 
Gerald and Martin Nash 
In one of the episodes of Django Unchained, a certain Gerald Nash is mentioned, a member of a gang of murderers led by Smitty Bacall. He does not appear on the screen, which gives us reason to believe that this hero escaped justice and bounty hunters and quietly left offspring. Further, in Natural Born Killers, the Knox couple kill a patrolman named Gerald Nash in one episode, and finally, in Reservoir Dogs, policeman Martin Nash becomes the victim of Mr. Blonde.
Jack Rabbit Slim's 
In Tarantino's first film, Reservoir Dogs, there is an advertisement for Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant. It is in it that the characters of Uma Thurman and John Travolta dance in Pulp Fiction. Still in the same advertisement there is information about milkshakes for five dollars. 
In Pulp Fiction, Vincent Vega will be very angry that the mixture of ice cream and milk costs so much.
Maynards 
Let's return to Django Unchained. Мало кто обратил внимание на невзрачного стрелка из окружения Кэлвина Кэнди, который перед своей смертью от пули героя Джейми Фокса успел крикнуть: «Мейнард не умрет от рук ниггера!» This name directly connects the murdered man with another character in the Tarantino universe who likes to point guns at people - the owner of the pawn shop, to whom Butch and Marcellus Wallace are captured in "Pulp Fiction." The second reference to Django finally explains where the simple shopkeeper gets such a hatred of black - it seems that this is a natural consequence of the family legend about the bloodthirsty nigter in a blue frock coat. 
"The Hateful Eight" and "Inglourious Basterds" 
One of the characters in The Hateful Eight is closely related to the hero in Inglourious Basterds. Thus, Tim Roth's character, who poses as the executioner Oswaldo Mobray, before his death, says his real name - Pete Hickox. This means he is related to Lieutenant Archie Hickox from Inglourious Basterds, played by Michael Fassbender. 
Tim Roth confirmed these rumors. His character is an ancestor of Lieutenant Hickox.
"Real love" 
Tarantino is known not only as a director, but also as a screenwriter. So, for Tony Scott's film True Romance, he wrote his own script, in which there is the character Lee Donowitz. Do you remember the character from “Inglourious Basterds” Donnie Donowitz, nicknamed “The Jew-Bear”? It turns out that Lee is his son. 
Dimmicks 
There is a character in Reservoir Dogs called White, whose real name is Lawrence Dimmick. He offered to take Orange to a nurse he knew, Bonnie. And in Pulp Fiction there is Jimmy Dimmick. He is played by Tarantino himself. 
In the story, Jimmy's wife works as a nurse and her name is... Bonnie. That is, most likely, the Dimmicks are brothers.
Also, Dimmick, as it turned out, has a connection with another heroine of another film, to which Tarantino had a hand. We are talking about the same picture “True Love”. Initially, the film was conceived as a single picture, but ultimately the idea had to be abandoned. So, Alabama Whitman from this film is actually White's girlfriend. 
Jules and Rufus 
The theory about the connection between these characters has never been confirmed, but neither has it been refuted. It consists in the fact that Jules from Pulp Fiction is the same person as the wandering pianist Rufus from the Kill Bill duology. 
Supporters of the theory believe that Jules, 20 years later, could very well end up at Beatrix Kiddo’s wedding.
Through the centuries 
In Django Unchained, there is a wanted poster for Crazy Craig Koons.
And in Pulp Fiction, the same man with the watch is Captain Koons. This is his distant descendant. 
Red Apple 
It's no secret that Tarantino doesn't use real brands in his films. This also applies to cigarettes. The heroes of all his films smoke Red Apple brand cigarettes. But how did Tarantino deal with the fact that there were no cigarettes in the 19th century, when The Hateful Eight takes place? 
Everything is very simple. One of the heroines makes roll-your-own cigarettes from Red Apple tobacco.
