Tarantino is often credited as one of the strongest forces behind the rise of independent film-making during the 1990's along with his best friend and Sin City film director, Robert Rodriguez. The two have often collaborated before, most famously in From Dusk Till Dawn and Grindhouse. For Tarantino's second volume in his epic revenge saga Kill Bill, he had Rodriguez do the score and paid him one dollar. In return, he invited Quentin to do a scene for the Sin City movie and paid him one dollar. His scene was the conversation between the corpse of Jackie-Boy and Dwight McCarthy in The Big Fat Kill. Another lesser known contribution to Sin City of Tarantino's is one of Miho's swords was actually a prop in Kill Bill.
