True Romance is one of Tarantino's best movies that he didn't direct, but he almost came close to playing one of the movie's most iconic characters.
Quentin Tarantino often makes appearances in his own movies, whether he plays a main character or just has a voiceover, and he almost played an iconic True Romance character. The 1993 movie follows two anti-heroes, Clarence and Alabama , who run away together intending to live happily ever after, only they run into a few setbacks.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Though Tarantino is known for both writing and directing ultraviolent movies filled with snappy dialogue about pop culture, which is exactly what True Romance is, he didn't actually direct the 1993 film. Along with a couple of other early '90s screenplays, Tarantino sold the True Romance script, and the movie ended up being directed by celebrated action director Tony Scott.
Tarantino explained, "I thought it would be, like, an $800,000 movie. I thought, 'No one’s going to let me play Clarence, but I could maybe play Drexl in a cheaper movie.'" It's quite a different role from Pulp Fiction's mellow Jimmy and Reservoir Dog's pop culture-obsessed Mr. Brown, and it might have been hard to take Tarantino seriously in a dreadlock wig and gold teeth.
Oldman Completely Created The Look And Sound Of The Character Drexl Spivey is one of the most outlandish characters Quentin Tarantino has ever written, as he's a white pimp who thinks he's black, but it was Gary Oldman who totally created the iconic look of the character.
However, it wasn't just his look that Oldman spearheaded, but the character's dialogue too, and in that respect, Tarantino is actually wrongly credited for some of True Romance's very best lines. According to Uproxx, when Oldman was reading over the script in Brooklyn, he spoke to a group of teenagers and asked how authentic the dialogue was, specifically referring to the word "titties.
