These are the 9 dumbest Tarantino characters 3 places

Quentin Tarantino created some of the most memorable characters in film history. But how smart are his cult characters actually? Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds is as perceptive as he is vicious. Jules Winfield from Pulp Fiction thoughtful like Goethe. Even Budd from Kill Bill has a crafty shrewdness. What about the rest? who is the dumbest Tarantino character?

Of course, we don’t know the IQs of each character. Therefore, a field research had to serve for the following Ranking of the dumbest Tarantino characters to create. We looked to see which character behaved stupidly and/or made a ridiculous amount of stupid decisions during a Tarantino film. First of all: Pulp Fiction, the best Tarantino film according to Moviepilot ratings, surprised us with a huge mass of dull contemporaries.

Dumbest Tarantino Character: 9th place: Butch Coolidge

studio canal

Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction

  • Actor: Bruce Willis
  • Movie: Pulp Fiction (1994)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Although Butch is a boxer in the ring, in the course of Pulp Fiction he turns out to be a downright underage character who stumbles from one situation to another and is only alive at the end of the film through luck. Personal importance or not: That he is risking everything for the gold watch is just stupid. In the ring, he’s definitely the one who only takes beatings but never delivers tactically.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 8th place: Pam

    Senator/Central

    Rose McGowan as Pam in Death Proof

  • actress: Rose McGowan
  • Movie: Death Proof (2007)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? We definitely don’t want to engage in victim blaming. And yes, the public transport system in the Austin, Texas area is definitely poorly developed. But the fact that Pam confides in the walking Red Flag “Stuntman Mike” for her trip home is just ridiculously stupid. As for her apologies, the character was of course only created to fall into the deadly car trap. It’s like a crash test dummy for the “Death Proof” car.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 7th place: Rick Dalton

    Sony

    Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

  • Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio
  • Movie: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Rick Dalton’s career is over. But you don’t really feel sorry for the self-centered actor. When he’s not completely freaking out in his trailer, he’s being completely outplayed himself by an up-and-coming star. He’s completely unable to navigate Hollywood, and he’s felt it bitterly on several occasions. Surviving the end of the film also has more to do with luck than brains.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 6th place: Aldo Raine

    universe

    Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds

  • actor: Brad Pitt
  • Movie: Inglourious Basterds (2009)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Aldo Raine is, of course, a war hero in the Tarantino verse. But not a particularly smart one. For the scene in the cinema in Paris, he might have been able to add two or three more Italian words than “Bone Jawrno”. So he ran into Hans Landa’s open knife during a bilingual battle of words.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 5th place: Calvin Candie

    Sony

    Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin Candie in Django Unchained

  • actor: Leonardo DiCaprio
  • Movie: Django Unchained (2012)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Nobody produces as much hot air when talking as the racist, inhumane slave owner Calvin Candy. And you want to wash your ears at the stuff this giant immature babe is spouting while hanging from his sister’s skirt.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 4th place: Pumpkin and Honey Bunny

    studio canal

    Tim Roth as Pumpkin and Amanda Plummer as Honey Bunny in Pulp Fiction

  • Actor: Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer
  • Movie: Pulp Fiction (1994)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Anyone who has seen Pulp Fiction will never forget the wild, completely uncontrolled screams of Pumpkin and Honey Bunn at the beginning of the film. The impulsive couple want to rob a diner but have no plan of anything. After the choleric start, there is little sympathy when she mercilessly smashes Tarantino against Samuel L. Jackson’s Jules Winfield.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 3rd place: Fredrick Zoller

    universe

    Daniel Bruehl as Fredrick Zoller in Inglourious Basterds

  • Actor: Daniel Brühl
  • Movie: Inglourious Basterds (2009)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? If Fredrick Zoller didn’t have countless lives on his conscience, he could be described as naively stupid. He is a terrible person who allows himself to be completely exploited by Goebbels’ propaganda machine and who ends up believing himself to be a hero who has done everything right. Then why doesn’t Shoshanna hug him in occupied France? Fredrick Zoller really doesn’t notice anything.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 2nd place: Frankie

    Sony

    Quentin Tarantino as Frankie in Django Unchained

  • Actor: Quentin Tarantino
  • Movie: Django Unchained (2012)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Tarantino likes to appear in his own films. He wrote himself a particularly thankless role in Django Unchained. He plays a cowboy who feels so secure in a mixture of stupidity, arrogance and inattention that he trusts Django blindly and thereby signs his own death warrant. As soon as he grabs the bag of dynamite, Django blows him up.

    • Dumbest Tarantino Character: 1st place: Vincent Vega

    studio canal

    John Travolta as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction

  • actor: John Travolta
  • Movie: Pulp Fiction (1994)
  • Why in this ranking and on this place? Vincent Vega can hide his stupidity well, and there’s no cowhide, which the gangster’s assistant does in two and a half hours. He’s brandishing a sharp weapon in a car. He has the audacity to tease the man who is supposed to free him from the bad situation he has created himself. Winston Wolf should have just turned and left. And then Vega leaves his gun lying around in his target’s kitchen as carelessly as a lighter. Deserved death, deserved 1st place.

    • For home cinema: This Quentin Tarantino horror film is finally available uncut (again)*

    When is Quentin Tarantino’s next film coming out?

    Quentin Tarantino says he will only have one more film in theaters. He would have had 10 works to show and film number 10 should be The Movie Critic be called. Little is known about the plot, only that it takes place in Los Angeles in 1977 – a formative time for the director. The Movie Critic has not yet started, the year 2025 seems realistic as the earliest date.
