Jackie Brown movie hidden details
The inn, where Ordell and Louis have a drink, is called The Cockatoo Inn. The neon light letters t-o-o are out, so it spells The Cocka Inn: cocaine, a hint to the bags of cocaine found in Jackie's bag at the beginning of the movie.
The opening travelator shot is a reference to The Graduate (1967). Both movies deal with the fear of going nowhere in life.
The close up shot of the speaker box shows the names of exploitation film director Jack Hill, and actor Sid Haig.
Sid Haig plays the judge. When Jackie (Pam Grier) buzzes in to meet Ordell (Samuel L. Jackson) S.Haig is above M. Ralston's (Bridget Fonda). A homage from Tarantino to Sid.
The bartender asks for 3.25 for his screwdriver at The Cockatoo Inn. Ordell clearly hands him exactly two bills. This means Ordell paid at least a minimum of twice value for his drink.
