What's left behind the scenes

  • According to Dennis Hopper, there was practically no improvisation in the scene with the dialogue between Vincenzo Coccotti (Christopher Walken) and Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper); the actors only added phrases about "eggplant" and "cantaloupe".
  • The word “fuck” is uttered 225 times throughout the film.
  • According to Quentin Tarantino, he never once appeared on the set during the entire production of the film.
