Among this group, Avary met an odd and brilliant film enthusiast, Quentin Tarantino.

Avary took on the producer's role, and he and Tarantino tried unsuccessfully for several years to get funding so that Tarantino could direct the script himself.

Since Tarantino was busy prepping Reservoir Dogs, Avary was hired with Tarantino's consent by Tony Scott and Hadida to work as a script doctor on the material, a job which included bringing the length down, reforming the narrative to a linear fashion, and writing a more commercial ending where the Clarence character is not killed.

When the Paul Brothers, a pair of wealthy bodybuilders who wanted to get into the movies, offered Tarantino funding for his script Natural Born Killers on the condition he include a scene featuring them, he could not write it out of disgust, and asked Avary to write it as a favor.

Most notably, Avary contributed material which, combined with Tarantino's, formed the basis of Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) for which he and Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Earlier in their careers, Tarantino and Avary had planned on making an anthology movie comprising three short films ; one written and directed by Avary, one written and directed by Tarantino, and one written and directed by a third filmmaker, reportedly Adam Rifkin.

When the third filmmaker never materialized, Tarantino and Avary took their respective stories and expanded them into full length screenplays separately.

" Pandemonium Reigns " ended up forming the basis of the " Gold Watch " chapter of Pulp Fiction ( an earlier version of his website displayed an excerpt from " Pandemonium Reigns ", illustrating the changes that were made by Tarantino when writing " The Gold Watch "), and other odd scenes Avary had written during his rewrite of True Romance were reworked and incorporated into the Pulp Fiction script, such as the accidental shooting of Marvin, and the scene in which the bullets fired at Jules and Vincent miss their targets.

Avary also wrote and directed the neo-noir cult thriller Killing Zoe ( 1994 ) which Tarantino executive produced.

Avary had initially intended to write a screenplay completely devoted to this experience, for which Tarantino suggested the ironic title Roger Takes a Trip.

The film was also an influence on Tarantino ; according to Avary, Tarantino, while rewriting Pulp Fiction, added the heroin scenes after viewing a rough cut of Killing Zoe.

In 1993, Scott directed True Romance costing just $ 13m, from a script by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary.
