Which Quentin Tarantino Movie Has The Highest Kill Count

The movies of Quentin Tarantino are best-known for their high levels of violence and big amounts of blood, but which one has the highest kill count? Quentin Tarantino’s career as a filmmaker began in 1992 with the crime movie Reservoir Dogs, which introduced the audience to his visual and narrative style, and while it was well-received, his big break came two years later with another crime movie: Pulp Fiction. Widely regarded as his best work, Pulp Fiction stood out for its non-linear narrative, dialogues, and its peculiar characters, and helped establish some actors as Tarantino favorites, as are Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.

So far, Tarantino has made nine movies (both Kill Bill movies are counted as one), and it remains to be seen if he will keep his promise of retiring after making 10 movies or if he will continue sharing his unique vision of the world and pop culture. Tarantino has also managed to keep the audience’s attention and interest thanks to him deciding to explore different genres – from crime with the aforementioned movies to martial arts with Kill Bill and even exploitation slasher with Death Proof, as well as taking the audience to alternate universes where historical events happened differently, as is the case of Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. All of them have had many casualties, both on and off-screen, and so a big question arises: which Quentin Tarantino movie has the most kills?

In most Tarantino movies, there are some deaths that happen off-screen but still count as they either happen at the hands of a main character and play an important role in the story or there’s simply not enough on-screen time or space to show them, as is the case of the movie with the most kills: Inglourious Basterds. The movie tells an alternate version of World War II where a group known as the “Basterds”, led by Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), sets out to kill as many Nazis as possible, with the final mission being killing Hitler and company at a movie premiere. Between scalping Nazis and the deaths of allies like Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) and Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender), along with all those who died at the cinema fire and shooting (among those Hitler), Inglourious Basterds has a kill count of approximately 396.

In second place is Django Unchained with 64 deaths, through methods like dynamite, gunshot, and even dog attack, as seen in one of the most infamous and raw scenes of the movie. Next is Kill Bill: Volume 1 with a total of 62 deaths, most of them from when Beatrix Kiddo/The Bride (Thurman) arrives in Tokyo to go after O-Ren Shii (Lucy Liu) and her crew. Then comes The Hateful Eight, which has a total of 20 deaths including off-screen murders that are mentioned by the characters and add to the conflict between them, most notably that of Chester Charles Smithers, the son of General Sanford “Sandy” Smithers (Bruce Dern). The Hateful Eight is followed by Kill Bill: Volume 2 with 13 deaths, including that of the title Bill, who was killed by Beatrix with the legendary “Five Point Exploding Heart Technique”.

The next movie on the list of most kills is Reservoir Dogs with 11 deaths, counting those of the crew members that died offscreen, as is the case of Mr. Blue (Edward Bunker). Next is Pulp Fiction with just seven kills, followed closely by Death Proof with six, most of them through collision. Last but not least, it’s a tie between Jackie Brown and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, both with just four kills, and in the latter’s case, the death of Cliff Booth’s wife is part of the list, with the rest being Charles Manson’s family members Tex, Sadie, and Katie. It might come as a surprise to some that the movies considered the most violent from Quentin Tarantino’s filmography don’t have high kill counts, but when paying closer attention, it’s evident that the number one spot belongs to Inglourious Basterds.
