* TheStoner -- Brad Pitt

* MoreDakka: The reason Boris doesn't obey the cops is that he and his buddy are armed with a hell of a lot more firepower than the LAPD.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The original ending had Clarence dying and Alabama driving off alone with a bitter monologue, but director Tony Scott changed it because he liked the characters too much to end on such a down note. Tarantino had originally intended for the widowed Alabama to go into a life of crime. She gets mentioned in ''ReservoirDogs'' as a former partner of Mr. White.

** Of course, by revealing this helpful little hint, Virgil accidentally gives Alabama the motivation to get up and kill ''him''.

The Mooks still find clues that lead them to Clarence and Alabama.]]

* KarmicDeath -- [[spoiler: Drexil for getting shot in the groin and Virgil for being killed by a woman.]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill -- The way [[spoiler:Alabama kills Virgil.]] [[spoiler:She uses A cork screw, a toilet lid, a bust of [[ElvisPresley Elvis]], an Aerosol Flamethrower and a shotgun]]. BAD. ASS.

However, Slater, Arquette, Rapaport, Kilmer and Sizemore are no longer famous and only make Direct-To-DVD garbage nowadays.

* OneSceneWonder -- Most of the supporting cast is only around for a scene or two, and almost all are memorable, particularly Christopher Walken in the famous Sicilian Scene. Samuel L Jackson manages to have about two lines of dialogue before Gary Oldman kills him.
