What's left behind the scenes

Initially, the script for "True Romance" was part of a large script written by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery. Another part of this script was later used for "Natural Born Killers" (1994). In both films, Tom Sizemore played a police officer.
Quentin Tarantino sold the film's script in order to raise funds to finance "Reservoir Dogs" (1991).
Elliot's monologue in the scene where he is stopped by a police officer is an improvisation by Bronson Pinchot.
The film that Alabama and Clarence watch in the apartment is "A Better Tomorrow 2" (1987) by John Woo.
Quentin Tarantino sold the screenplay for $50,000, which, according to WGA rules, was the minimum amount a screenwriter could receive for their work.
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.
Initially, the screenplay had a different structure: the first two-thirds of the film were to be told in a non-linear order.

Filming the roller coaster scene took two days.

After filming was completed, Tony Scott gifted Patricia Arquette the "Cadillac" used for the filming.
It took make-up artists 8 hours to transform Val Kilmer into Elvis Presley. Fortunately for Kilmer, all the scenes with his participation were filmed in two days.
In this film, a poster for the movie "Glimmers in a Golden Eye" (1967) can be seen in Dick and Floyd's apartment.
In the first version of the script, Drexel killed Big Don and Floyd Dee because the latter called him "white boy." Marty was also absent from this scene.
