20 Things You Somehow Missed In Jackie Brown
12. Max Learns To Wash His Hands
Tarantino loves including subtle morsels of character shading in his movies which, while hardly necessary for the plot to unfold, are nevertheless fun and interesting for fans to spot.
Case in point, when Ordell shows up at Max's office near the start of the movie, Max flushes the toilet and returns to his office, where Ordell jokingly admonishes him for failing to wash his hands. Hilariously, Max doesn't go back to wash them and just... continues with the interaction.
But this pays off quite amusingly at the very end of the film when Jackie pays Max a visit, and after Max emerges from the toilet door we can see him rubbing his hands, having obviously just washed them.
Ordell may be many things, but at least he got Max to stop being such a dirty bastard.
