Did you know? Gary Oldman hadn't had a chance to read the script he'd been sent, and asked director Tony Scott what his part would be like. Scott told him "You're playing a white guy who thinks he's black, and you're a killer pimp." Oldman laughed and immediately accepted the role. Read More

Not since Bonnie and Clyde have two people been so good at being bad.
Trivia:
It took five days to shoot the motel room fight scene between Alabama (Patricia Arquette) and Virgil (James Gandolfini).

Gary Oldman hadn't had a chance to read the script he'd been sent, and asked director Tony Scott what his part would be like. Scott told him "You're playing a white guy who thinks he's black, and you're a killer pimp." Oldman laughed and immediately accepted the role.

The film's script was written by Quentin Tarantino, who sold it for fifty thousand dollars, which was the minimum amount of money that could be paid for a script at the time (according to WGA rules).
