Sherman : In the process of making any film , there are always some incredible details that get lost on the cutting room floor . Are there any specific moments that weren ’ t included in the final cut of the Quentin Tarantino films that you worked on that you were really proud of in terms of the design ?
Sandy : Quentin ’ s scripts are vast . They filmed an entire background story for the Boston Bear character in Inglourious Basterds that was completely eliminated from the film . In the eliminated scene , he goes into a vintage 1940s-style Boston sporting goods store to get the bat that he uses later on in the film .

David : There was a wonderful scene from that background story chapter with the fabulous actress , Cloris Leachman , that was completely cut from the film . In the final version of Inglourious Basterds , you never get to see the story behind the
Boston Bear ’ s bat and how he got it signed by the neighborhood relatives of the victims who lost their lives during the Nazi regime . Beyond Inglourious Basterds , many of Quentin ’ s scripts were shot verbatim with minimal changes , such as
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction . As Quentin progressed in his career , his scripts became longer and more complex , and he started editing between scenes and making changes while the projects were still being filmed .
Make your home a sanctuary .
