Quentin Tarantino is notorious for including shots of feet in his movies -- but how does he feel about everyone's foot-fetish jokes?

“I don’t take it seriously. There’s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors’ movies. That’s just good direction," Tarantino told GQ. "Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it.”

The jokes about Tarantino having a foot-fetish date back to his 1994 film Pulp Fiction, in which Uma Thurman's bare feet are prominently featured in multiple shots. Tarantino later reunited with Thurman for the Kill Bill movies, which similarly include numerous close-ups of the latter's bare feet, as well as several shots of her and her co-stars' feet with shoes on. The filmmaker's grindhouse homage Death Proof and WWII adventure Inglourious Basterds also feature multiple close-ups of women's bare feet in key moments, as does his most recent film, the Oscar-winning Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

At the moment, Tarantino plans to direct one more film before retiring as a director. "I’ve actually considered about doing a remake of Reservoir Dogs as my last movie. I won’t do it, Internet! But I considered it," said Tarantino back in June. He went on to explain why he intends to call it a day sooner than later. “Working for 30 years, doing as many movies as I’ve done... That's a really long career. And I’ve given it everything I have. Every single thing I have.”

Although he considered making an R-rated Star Trek film at one point, Tarantino has since moved away from the idea. Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, who collaborated with Tarantino on the script, recently shed some light on what the filmmaker had planned. "We were just kicking back watching gangster films, laughing at the bad dialogue, but talking about how it would bleed into what we wanted to do," said Smith, teasing there's "a little time travel stuff going on."

As for Tarantino, he now envisions his final movie serving as an epilogue to his directing career. "The only one I can imagine where it would be another epic, where I would need to out-do everything is if I did a Kill Bill 3," he noted in July. "I've thought of it."
