QHow long is Samuel L. Jackson in this film for?
ADespite receiving top billing in the "Also Starring" section of the credits; his screen time runs almost 60 seconds exactly. Before Drexl kills him.
QHow much different is the movie from Quentin Tarantino's original script?
AThe story itself is pretty much like in Tarantino's script, the things that were edited the most was the order of the scenes. In the original script the scenes are in unchronological order, Tony Scott changed it to chronological. In the ending of the original script, Clarence dies in the shoot out. Tarantino begged Scott to keep the original ending, since the whole story is built on Clarence's talk about Elvis in the beginning about "live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse.". Scott agreed to film the original ending where Clarence died, but had no real intention of using it. Tarantino conceded that for Scott's vision of the film, the theatrical ending worked. Tarantino went on to say that if he had done the film himself, the film would be out of chronological order and Clarence would have died.
Other small things that were changed are: 1.Alabama's pimp Drexl's bodyguard is a young muscled man instead of a young fat man.
2.When Clarence's father tells Vincenzo that he has got "nigger-blood" in his veins, Vincenzo gets furious and kills him instead of laugh and kill him.
3.The hitman who beats Alabama in the midde of the movie (played by James Gandolfini) is a kung-fu expert instead of an old-school mobster.
QWhat are the differences between the R-Rated and Unrated Version?
ACinematically, the movie was released in its R-Rated Version that was available on VHS as well. Later on the movie got published in an Unrated Version too that offers a far more violent cut of the movie with several extended shooting scenes. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.In the UK the R-Rated Version had to be cut for the theatrical release in one scene. The movie was released in its uncensored Unrated Version later on as well. A detailed comparison between the censored R-Rated Version from the UK and the original R-Rated Version can be seen here.
