20 Things You Somehow Missed In Jackie Brown

8. Pam Grier Sings A Song On The Soundtrack

Jackie Brown Samuel L Jackson

During the brief sequence where Jackie is shown being led to jail, the song "Long Time Woman" can be heard playing from the 1971 sexploitation film The Big Doll House.

Similarly, that film is centered around a group of women making it through daily life in a dingy prison, but beyond Tarantino's obvious affection for the genre, the real kicker is that Pam Grier not only starred in The Big Doll House as one of its incarcerated ladies herself, but even sang the aforementioned song.

If you caught this Easter egg without any prodding at all, very well done.
