Factual error: In the beginning of the film, an aerial shot shows Cliff and Rick pulling out of a studio parking lot. The lines in the lot are yellow double lines between spaces. They didn't use that type of striping in parking lots in the 1960's. The parking lot striping was white with single stripes in between spaces.

Answer: Yes, though the intention was not Tarantino's. What is onscreen is the trailer of the (real) 1970 film "C.C. and Company", which starred (as you might have guessed) Joe Namath and Ann-Margret. Said trailer showed their names twice, a stylistic choice that emphasized the film's stars, and Tarantino used the unaltered trailer in the film.
