And 330 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,399 probably one of the most famous stories 331 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,399 was about how DiCaprio cut his hand 332 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:04,959 banging ON THE TABLE.

After 348 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,600 bandaging his hand, Leo suggested that 349 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,680 Calvin use that hand to cup Carrie 350 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,680 Washington's face. The actress and 351 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,120 director both thought it was a good 352 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,360 idea. So Tarantino quickly found some 353 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,120 fake blood. Don't ask where. It's 354 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Tarantino. He always has a little fake 355 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,633 blood handy. 356 00:12:49,633 --> 00:12:51,653 [music] 357 00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:01,600 >> [singing] 358 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,880 >> and they shot the scene. 359 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,699 >> Quinton wasn't sure if he wanted to 360 00:13:04,699 --> 00:13:06,320 [music] use the take with the blood or 361 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560 not. So, every moment after we shot 362 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,560 twice, we would shoot completely bloody 363 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,000 with him touching my face and then we 364 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,600 had to take everything off and shoot it 365 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,120 again totally clean. 366 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,880 >> Why? 367 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,519 >> Because we love making movies. 368 00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,839 >> Shooting lasted for over 5 months and 369 00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:25,920 the amount of footage filmed was 370 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,320 mindblowing. When the film's producer, 371 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,480 Harvey Weinstein, first saw how much 372 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,720 Tarantino had shot, he wanted him to 373 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,480 take the proven route and split the 374 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,639 movie in two, but Quinton preferred to 375 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,279 shorten the film almost by half. Scenes 376 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:40,959 that didn't make the cut included the 377 00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:43,360 backstory of Dartanian's hunters, and 378 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,920 some scenes with Zo Bell. Also, the 379 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,000 dialogue between Steven and Django when 380 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,480 they arrived at Candyland was before the 381 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,560 scene where Schultz meets Broomhilda. 382 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,040 This scene was Jamie Fox's favorite one, 383 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,720 which didn't make the final cut. 384 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,800 >> And he slaps me. He slaps me down. 385 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,720 That's the setup between me and him that 386 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,720 they didn't use in the movie. So, by the 387 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,160 time we get to the point where he's 388 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,320 hanging upside down in that barn and I 389 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,399 start using that hot poker to burn parts 390 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:10,399 of his body. I always thought he was 391 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:11,519 going to put a director's cut [music] 392 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,320 out. He can keep it cuz we did shoot it. 393 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560 What's so special about that? But the 394 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,399 biggest loss was a whole plot line where 395 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,320 Carrie Washington's character was sold 396 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,120 by a slave owner played by Jonah Hill. 397 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,440 >> But nobody can see. 398 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,079 >> So So it would be nice to see. 399 00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:30,160 >> The actor had around 15 minutes of 400 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160 screen time, but Quinton wasn't pleased 401 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,240 with the outcome. So he gave Hill a 402 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,399 small role in the Ku Klux Clan and 403 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,560 invited Sasha Baron Cohen to replace 404 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,199 him.

It was simply 408 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,880 the fact that I ended up dropping that 409 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,519 sequence.
