Max Cherry, the bail bondsman, tells Ordell that if Beaumont runs on the bail, Ordell will have to pay for Max's expenses in finding him. This makes no sense because Max is holding the full $10,000 bond in cash as collatoral. So if Beaumont runs, he would just keep the money he's holding, and would not chase Beaumont. [The $10,000 Max is holding would have to be paid to the court if Beaumont fails to appear in court. To avoid paying Max would have to find Beaumont (probably using a bounty hunter) and surrender him to the court. That is why he would need the additional money.]

Mistakes
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 voice on Jackie's answering machine in her apartment is Quentin Tarantino's voice. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Throughout the movie, when Jackie Brown is in uniform, she wears a set of 'wings' pinned to her jacket. In aviation, only the Pilots/flight crew get badges with 2 wings, and the Cabin crew/ flight attendants get one or half a set of wings. [She stole it, swapped something for it, bought it, found it, gift from a lover, whatever. It is not IMPOSSIBLE for her to wear the badge, so it is not a film mistake.]
The part of Jackie Brown was written specifically for Pam Grier. When Quentin Tarantino was adapting the novel "Rum Punch," he missed the description of Jackie being white. [QT didn't "miss" anything. In fact, he avoided communications with Elmore Leonard for the better part of a year, because he was afraid that Leonard wouldn't like the race change.]
When Bridget Fonda comes to the door of the dressing room to exchange the bags, Jackie knows she's there because she can see her feet. However, when Max goes to get the real bag, you can see that the dressing room doors go all the way to the floor. [The exchange happens between stalls (which one can see do not go all the way to the ground) and not under the door.]
