He must have, and more than once, because I spotted at least three elements in "Thriller - En Grym Film" that has resurfaced in his movies - Elle Driver, the eye patch woman from "Kill Bill," the sawed off shotgun Butch used to kill Vincent Vega with in "Pulp Fiction" and the long trench coat Christoph Waltz wore in "Inglorious Basterds." I wish I'd seen the Swedish-language version of "Thriller" as I have no aversion towards foreign films; still, I did see the uncut dubbed version in all its pornographic glory. Were those explicit bits necessary? Nope. Movie would've worked fine without. Also, the slow motion kills could be grating on the nerves. This flick is recommended only to see how far filmmakers went vs the timidity they have today.
