  JACKIE BROWN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Jackie Brown (1997), directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a crime thriller based on Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch. The film follows Jackie Brown, a flight attendant who smuggles money for a gunrunner, Ordell Robbie. After being caught by law enforcement, she devises a plan to double-cross everyone involved in the deal, including Ordell, the police, and a bail bondsman named Max Cherry. The film explores themes of betrayal, survival, and deception, with a strong focus on complex characters and intricate plotting. Set against the backdrop of 1990s Los Angeles, Jackie Brown blends crime, suspense, and Tarantino's signature sharp dialogue. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Pam Grier had auditioned for a part in Pulp Fiction that eventually went to Rosanna Arquette. Tarantino, however, had not forgotten about her and created the role of Jackie Brown specifically for her.” 
    
  “Michael Keaton desperately tried to talk Tarantino out of casting him as Ray Nicolette, claiming he was not right for the role. Tarantino found Keaton’s reluctance endearing and ultimately cast him.” 
    
  “Tarantino compared Jackie Brown to the film Rio Bravo, saying it's a "hangout movie" that gets better with each viewing. He noted that the film rewards multiple viewings by allowing audiences to enjoy the hangout scenes rather than focusing on the plot.” 
    
  “In the first mall scene, Max Cherry (Robert Forster) is seen exiting a movie theater while the music for the ending credits is playing, which is actually the closing music for the film.”
