Director Tarantino doesn’t want to say what the title Reservoir dogs means: “I am knocked out by people coming up to me telling me what they think it means. The minute I say what it means to me, all of that will stop. I don't want it to stop.” Source / More (Book)
At some get-together, Madonna autographed a copy of her Erotica album for Tarantino, and wrote on it: “Quentin: It's about love, not dick”
Robert Kurtzman did the special make-up effects for free, on the condition that Tarantino wrote a script for From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) based on a story by Kurtzman.
Tarantino wanted James Woods to play a role in the film (Mr. Orange), and made him five different cash offers. Woods’ agent refused the offers without ever mentioning it to Woods as the sums offered were well below what Woods would usually receive.
Chris Penn in an interview:“Nobody shot Nice Guy Eddie. It was a mistake. Harvey Keitel was supposed to shoot Lawrence Tierney, then me, then get squibbed. But what happened was the squib on Harvey went right off after he shot Lawrence Tierney, so he went down, but my squib went off, so I went down.
So basically nobody shot Nice Guy Eddie. Quentin said: You know what? It'll be the biggest controversy of the film. We're leaving it”
His last name is pronounced (kuh-taal).
