Previously released Tarantino movies Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs will also be rereleased to coincide with the new editions.

Jackie Brown was Tarantino's third movie as writer/director and was released in 1997. The film adapts Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, and stars Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster.

The two-part Kill Bill was Tarantino's fourth movie, released in 2003 and 2004, respectively. The original martial arts film starred Uma Thurman as a former assassin setting out for revenge against her former team, led by Bill (David Carradine).

Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu and Sonny Chiba also starred. Hong Kong choreographer Yuen Woo-ping choreographed the fight scenes.
