    • Trivia
      Quentin Tarantino met Robert Forster in a restaurant and handed him the script, saying "You're going to do this, and that's all there is to it". Forster was naturally thrilled, having had a major career slump. This film saw him come back in a big way, even landing an Oscar nomination.
    • Goofs
      During the conversation between Melanie and Louis in which they are talking about stealing the money from Jackie and Ordell, director Quentin Tarantino can be heard coughing off screen.
    • Quotes

      Ordell Robbie: Here we go. AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.

    • Crazy credits
      A copyright notice appears under the title at the beginning of the movie--a common practice for low-budget movies in the 1960s and '70s but very uncommon for 1997.
    • Alternate versions
      The following deleted scenes are included on the DVD:
      • Extended scene with Jackie/Sheronda in the mall's food court.
      • Extended scene with Jackie and Ray in the diner.
      • A scene where Louis and Ordell walk into the Cockatoo.
      • A scene where Jackie is discussing with Max how to set up Ordell.
      • An alternate "for your eyes only" scene.
      • Alternate opening credits sequence.

    The Sting

    The middle age stewardess Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) smuggles money from Mexico to Los Angeles for the arms dealer Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When she gets caught by the agents Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) and Mark Dargus (Michael Bowen) with ten thousand dollars and cocaine in her purse, they propose a deal to her to help them to arrest Ordell in exchange of her freedom. Meanwhile Ordell asks the fifty-six year-old Max Cherry (Robert Forster), who runs a bail bond business, to release Jackie Brown with the intention of eliminating her. Jackie suspects of Ordell's intention and plots a complicate confidence game with Max to steal half a million dollar from Ordell.

    "Jackie Brown" is another great movie by Quentin Tarantino. The story of a sophisticated swindle shows the return of Pam Grier to a lead role and Robert Forster in an important role. The scene in the department store is original, with different perspectives of the same event. However there is a hole since it seems that there is no investigation with the seller but the marked bills. Otherwise she would tell that Jackie Brown had found a bad with towels in the fitting room. My vote is eight.
