3. Danny DeVito POSSIBLY Makes A Cameo

Now, this technically counts as a bit of an urban legend given that it's still never been confirmed one way or another by anybody who actually worked on the movie.

But during the opening sequence where Jackie heads through the metal detector at the airport, a man who bears a distinct resemblance to Danny DeVito can be seen walking behind her for a second or so.

We never see the man's face, but his stature is startlingly similar to DeVito's at the time, and given that DeVito was a producer on Pulp Fiction, it's easy to believe he'd manage to wrangle himself in a cameo in Tarantino's follow-up joint.

Again, we still don't know for certain either way, but the quasi-trivia has become a piece of the movie's lore in its own right over the last 25 years.
