Django: I'm curious what makes you so curious.
- Dr. Schultz says he wants to re-name Eskimo Joe, the Mandingo fighter he tries to purchase, "Black Hercules." This was the real-life nickname of Ken Norton, the actor/boxer who starred in Mandingo (1975).
- Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays villain Calvin Candie in this film, was originally the first choice for the role of antagonist Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's previous film Inglourious Basterds (2009). However, Tarantino decided that a German-speaking actor should portray the character, and the part went to Christoph Waltz, who portrays Dr. King Schultz in this film, which marks Waltz's second film collaboration with Tarantino. DiCaprio can, however, speak some German.
- While it is known that there is a link between Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and the grave of the mysterious "Paula Schultz" featured in Tarantino's Kill Bill: Volume 2, not much is fully understood about the connection. However, fans have theorized that Dr. Schultz was related to this Paula Schultz character, possibly as in husband and wife at some point who were separated shortly before the doctor went to pursue his career as a bounty hunter. Other theories suggest that Paula Schultz could have been Dr. Schultz's estranged daughter or long-lost sister. Tarantino has not confirmed this, however.
- The word "nigger" or some abbreviation of it is said over 110 times over the course of the movie.
- Django's blue costume is based on the famous painting "The Blue Boy". This painting inspired F.W. Murnau's film Emerald of Death (1919) (Emerald of Death). Murnau is best known for creating the "Unchained" camera technique.
