Editing Quentin Tarantino (section)

=== As a producer ===
Tarantino has used his Hollywood power to give smaller and foreign films more attention. These films are often labeled "Presented by Quentin Tarantino" or "Quentin Tarantino Presents". In 1995, Tarantino formed [[Rolling Thunder Pictures]] with Miramax to release or re-release several independent and foreign features. By 1997, Miramax had shut down the company due to poor sales.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://criterioncompletion.com/rolling-thunder/ |title=Rolling Thunder |date=May 13, 2016 |website=The Criterion Completion |access-date=March 12, 2019 |archive-date=March 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301132343/http://criterioncompletion.com/rolling-thunder/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The following films were released by Rolling Thunder Pictures: ''[[Chungking Express]]'' (1994, dir.
