There is a scene when Jackie is doing the trial run with the southern girl she is sitting at a table in the food court. Watch her right hand, at one point she tries to tap her cigarette in the ash tray and they immediately cut to a scene where she is holding the cigarette up by her head, so it looks like it never happened.

The film is based on the novel "Rum Punch," the sequel to a book Quentin Tarantino was once caught shoplifting from Wal-Mart when he was 11 years old.
The white Honda Civic that Jackie Brown uses in the movie is a left over from Pulp Fiction - it was going to be used as a second to the car that Butch crashes into Marcellus Wallace but the stunt went right the first time, and it was never used.
In one of the deleted scenes on the DVD (the one between Jackie and the cop in the restaurant) the cop is about to call over a waitress and he says 'Garçon' Jackie then corrects him and says 'Garçon means boy.' The same thing happens in Pulp Fiction when Tim Roth shouts for a waitress. Tarantino has said that the 'Garçon Waitress' will probably be a waitress in all of his films.
The voice on Jackie's answering machine in her apartment is Quentin Tarantino's voice.
If you look at the credits, you will see that the casting was done by a woman named Jaki Brown.
The info on bondsman Max Cherry's ID (ie. height, weight, eye colour, birth date) is that of Robert Forrester, the actor who plays him.
