"Well thanks for coming out to see my movie, it means a whole lot to me, I really appreciate it," Tarantino said after the applause settled.

"In particular I want to thank (cinema owner) Michael Smith and his wonderful, dedicated crew that brought the 70mm projector to give you guys in this town a hell of a show.

"I just wanted to say you are very lucky to live in a town that has a cinema like this, you are very fortunate."

Fans who were lucky enough to see the trio took to social media after the surprise visit to announce the shock sighting. The surprise came after Tarantino and Jackson made an appearance on Network Ten's The Project on Monday evening.
