Bridget Fonda meanwhile plays the unforgettable part of Ordell's kept lover Melanie Ralston, and spends a large chunk of the movie glued to the couch and getting high with Louis.

In one mid-film scene at night she's watching a movie with Louis, which eagle-eyed viewers might identify as the 1974 crime drama Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.

This wasn't a merely random choice by Tarantino, though: the film stars Bridget Fonda's own father Peter - who is thanked in the movie's end credits - and Tarantino evidently couldn't resist having Fonda watch a movie starring her own dad.

If you managed to catch this one for yourself, have a pat on the back.
