Geocache Description:

A movie themed puzzle dedicated to 6 of my most favorite flicks

I've noticed that movie themed caches are fun to do especially if they are a puzzle of some kind. With that in mind I decided to hide one. I've done this puzzle using 6 very good movies directed by Quentin Tarantino. Quentin got his theatrical start in 1991 at the Sundance Film Festival when his independant film Reservior Dogs became an instant cult hit. He then followed with his award winning gangster tale Pulp Fiction in 1994. Eventually he became a household name amongst movie fans and as of 2005 has directed 6 movies, produced roughly 10 and acted and cameoed in over 30 movies and television shows. Although I enjoy all of the movies that he has participated in I've focused this cache on 6 favorites. Those movies are: Reservior Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Four Rooms and Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2. I must warn you these movies are not family movies and are NOT MEANT FOR CHILDREN OR THOSE EASILY OFFENDABLE BY LANGUAGE AND ANY OTHER CONTENT YOU FIND IN MOVIES RATED "R". You may very well find all the info needed online but you may also have to watch the movies to obtain some of the answers. The container is a .50 caliber ammo can with lots of geo goodies.

Obviously the above coordinates are fake, here's how to get the correct ones.
N 42 AB.CDE, W 070 FG.HIJ

AB = The amount of money that Ted the Bellhop was paid to keep an eye on two misbehavers * The number of police informants amongst the jewel theives / The number of thousands of dollars Ordell gave Max Cherry as collateral for Beaumonts bond + The number of members in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (including the bride) + The number of pines in the name of the wedding chapel where "The Bride" was shot.

C = The number of points in the ...palm exploding heart technique * The number of thousand dollars "The Man from Hollywood" paid Ted the bellhop to weald the axe.

Complete Esteban Vihaio's quote: "If I had met you *X* years ago you would have been my number *Y* lady."
DE = ((X*2)/Y) + (The number of hitmen portrayed in Quentin's second movie * 0)

F = The number of years Butch's dad hid his watch in the POW camp before dying of dysentary

G = The number of theives involved in the jewel heist - the number of theives who survived the heist.

H = The number of people from the wedding party left alive at "The Bride's" wedding - The number of times Norman must light his zippo censecutively to with the Chevelle and keep his thumb + The number of names on "The Bride's" death list + The number of years "The Bride" was in a coma.

IJ = The number of hundred thousand dollars Ordell wants Jackie to smuggle in from Mexico + 83

I've rated the dificulty at 3.5 only because the internet may hold the answers, I don't know for sure. If many people are having trouble I'll raise the difficulty.
