Jackie Brown
Jackie Brown sits at 44% across 130 matchups — below average, but close enough that a shift in the voting pool could change the picture. Tarantino's most mature film is also his least flashy, which divides his own fanbase cleanly. Voters who prize restraint over spectacle treat it as his best work; the rest barely think of it. Voters pick in 1.6s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
Jackie Brown is a flight attendant who gets caught in the middle of smuggling cash into the country for her gunrunner boss. When the cops try to use Jackie to get to her boss, she hatches a plan — with help from a bail bondsman — to keep the money for herself.
There's life in the finals: 50% shows Jackie Brown can compete when the conditions are right. The semis at 39% are where it loses ground — a mixed profile with one round carrying the rest.
The matchup with Kill Bill: Vol. 2 is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge. Jackie Brown owns Kill Bill: Vol. 1 at 100% but Pulp Fiction flips the script entirely: just 20%.
The path through Best of Tarantino always ends the same way for Jackie Brown: a final against Pulp Fiction, a 80% loss rate. So close and so consistent.
#5 of 8 for Quentin Tarantino. Not every film in a filmography can lead — Jackie Brown competes in the middle of a catalog headed by Inglourious Basterds (61%).
