Watch: 'Chainsaw Man' opening sequences side by side with the movie scenes they reference

The highly anticipated anime “Chainsaw Man” premiered on Tuesday, along with one of the most memorable opening sequences in recent memory. The opening scene features the series characters Denji, Makima, Aki and Bond in suits at an intersection in a nod to the opening scene of Quentin Tarantino's 1992 feature-length debut “Reservoir Dogs. The shot is just one of three references to the director's ultra-violent and darkly humorous films sprinkled throughout.
