Reservoir Dogs poster
The featurettes "One Big Teddy Bear" (inexplicably set up by Film Threat's Chris Gore) and "The Good the Bad and the Bunker" pay tribute to the late Lawrence Tierney (Dog boss Joe) and the living Eddie Bunker, respectively; Roth, et al basically second Tarantino as he compares Tierney to the irredeemable character he played in 1947's The Devil Thumbs a Ride while Bunker tours L.A., every street name triggering a story from his criminal past.

The Fountain poster
He has been injecting Mayan medicine into the tumorous brain of a monkey named Donovan (a tribute to the 1953 surgical science-fiction movie Donovan's Brain) to find a cure for the cancer that threatens the life of his novelist wife Izzy, played by Weisz.
It poster
Example: "At the end of [ Donovan's Brain ], the scientist attacks [a tank filled with a disembodied psychic brain] with an ax, resisting the endless undertow of Donovan's will by reciting a simple yet haunting mnemonic phrase— He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts ."

Transcendence poster
Disembodied brains as a sci-fi staple range from the shrewdly effective "Donovan's Brain" to the famously idiotic "They Saved Hitler's Brain."
