16. One of the film's most notable lines—"Hey, you're Rick f--king Dalton. Don't you forget that."—was actually an ad-lib from Pitt, based on a similar thing a guy said to him while filming a movie in the early nineties that has stuck with the superstar ever since.
"I was pretty low. And this guy was basically saying to me, 'Get your head up, hold your head up. Quit your whining. You're Brad f--king Pitt. I would like to be Brad fucking Pitt,''" he recalled to Esquire. "It did me a favor. I needed to hear it. That day, I flashed on that. The way Quentin's scene was constructed, it reminded me of it."
17. In order to keep the film's dramatic ending a secret, only DiCaprio, Pitt, Robbie and producer David Heyman were allowed to read the full-script, with everyone else receiving only their scenes or the script with the last 30 pages removed.
"I hadn't read the very ending, so it was a surprise to me exactly how it goes down," star Margaret Qualley told IndieWire. "I had heard rumors, but the last little bit I did not have the opportunity to read. It was super hush-hush, and we weren't allowed to know, but Brad told me. I was like, 'Brad, how does the movie end, I don't know, I want to know!' And then he told me. And I was like, 'Cool, thanks.'"
