20 Things You Didn't Know About Raising Arizona
2. It Is Only One Of Three Coen Brothers Films Not To Be Edited By Them
The Coen brothers truly are jacks of all trades, as their famed pseudonym Roderick Jaynes is credited with editing all of their films bar three - Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing and The Hudsucker Proxy, their second, third and fifth films.
Raising Arizona and Miller's Crossing were instead edited by Michael R. Miller, whose only other major editing credit since these films has been in the editing department of Armageddon in 1998. After The Hudsucker Proxy in 1994, Roderick Jaynes took over full time editing duty, and would be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Editing in 2007 for No Country For Old Men.
Much like their editing, the Coens rarely allow others to direct their screenplays, with notable exceptions being the dire Crimewave and their collaborations much later, starting in 2012 with Gambit and following on with Angelina Jolie's Unbroken in 2014 and Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies in 2015. For almost 30 years, the Coens only wrote what they also directed, and their editing streak has yet to break.
