Legendary Hollywood makeup artist Tom Savini - best known for his gory contributions to George A. Romero's classic zombie films - has a brief cameo in the film as one of Candie's slave trackers, whose guard dogs of course brutally maul slave D'Artagnan (Ato Essandoh) to death.

Savini's character can also be briefly seen later in the movie when Django goes back to save Broomhilda (Kerry Washington).

Savini's involvement was more than mere fan service, though - he goes way back with Tarantino, having appeared alongside him in the cult fave vampire film From Dusk Till Dawn, which was also written by Tarantino and directed by their mutual pal Robert Rodriguez.
