Trivia and Facts
The movie “Bonnie’s Kids” significantly influenced director Quentin Tarantino as he was crafting “Pulp Fiction” in 1994. A section in his movie, “The Bonnie Situation,” was named directly as an homage to “Bonnie’s Kids.” In “Pulp Fiction”, similar to “Bonnie’s Kids”, the character Bonnie isn’t seen by anyone in the film. Meanwhile, “Bonnie and Clyde” made waves in 1967 due to the blend of humor and violence that divided critics but excited audiences. Some historically accurate settings, banks robbed by Bonnie and Clyde, were used in the film for an authentic touch.
