9. Channing Tatum's Anti-Typecast Cameo

Obviously Tarantino loves a cameo as much as he loves casting those he's worked with before. He's basically like a more violent Christopher Nolan. Zoe Bell obviously turns up as Six Horse Judy and Tarantino himself turns up as the unseen narrator in the middle. But it's Channing Tatum's appearance as the nefarious Jody that is most notable. His casting has been suggested as an homage to Once Upon A Time In The West, which featured Henry Fonda as the primary antagonist, a controversial against-type casting designed to shock the audience. In both cases the effect was huge and went exactly as planned.
