10 Weird & Obscure Facts About Quentin Tarantino

1. Quentin Tarantino Almost Had His Nipple Bitten Off By A Cab Driver

quentin tarantino I'm not kidding, this actually happened. Before the interview with his favourite interviewer/confidante, Mr Fleming, it was public knowledge that Tarantino had gotten into fisticuffs with a producer of Natural Born Killers in Los Angeles, and a man who objected to his liberal use of the N Word in New York. But then Tarantino went on the record recounting an incident he'd previously kept quiet about - the time a taxi driver had masticated his mammary during an altercation. According to Tarantino, things were going well until the cabbie made a crack about the girl he was with at the time. Enraged, Tarantino challenged the taxi driver to a fight. Tarantino punched the taxi driver, and then before bouncers at a nearby club managed to separate them, the taxi driver retaliated by chomping on Tarantino's chest.
"He took a big bite out of me, right by my nipple. What a f_cking a__hole! ... The only reason he didn€™t really f_ck me up was he was too greedy. He took too big a bite. Had he taken a small bite, I might not have a nipple now. He barely broke the skin because he had too much flesh in his mouth."
So there you have it. Tarantino, almost bereft of a nipple, decided not to tell the press at the time or press charges, lest he would also become bereft of thirty thousand dollars in damages.
