Answer: Tony Scott

While Tarantino did write "True Romance", he did not direct it. Tony Scott is the director, and among his credits are "Top Gun", "Days of Thunder" and "Crimson Tide". Scott made some minor adjustments to the script, such as straightening the out of order timeline Tarantino is known for writing into his movies. He did make one major alteration, opting to change Clarence's fate to the opposite of what Tarantino wrote.

From Quiz True Trivia on 'True Romance'

Answer: 1984

From Quiz True Romance

Answer: Blue Lou Boyle

Blue Lou never appears in the film, but it is rumored that Robert De Niro was to play Boyle's voice. That part of the movie was lost on the cutting room floor.

That suitcase contains illicit goods owned by Blue Lou Boyle and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Boyle's men track Clarence and Alabama from Detroit to Hollywood trying to recover the suitcase.

From Quiz The Lives of Clarence and Alabama Worley

Answer: the same clothes as the night before

She is wearing the same dress and purple shoes. You can clearly see it when they come down the stairs outside the church. Can you imagine getting married to someone the day after you meet them? And of course she is wearing the same clothes because Drexl has the rest.

From Quiz True Trivia on 'True Romance'

Answer: Eggplant and Cantaloupe

In England an eggplant is called an aubergine. Hopper calls Walken an eggplant because it is blackish in colour - like the Sicilians, who Hopper says are descended from Moors; this is taken as a huge insult.

Answer: Yoo-Hoo

From Quiz True Romance

Answer: Dick Ritchie

Rapaport has appeared in numerous films, including "Zebrahead", "Higher Learning", "Cop Land", and "Deep Blue Sea". His character supplies a great deal of comic relief in the movie. His audition as a thug on "The New TJ Hooker" is totally inept, yet he gets a call back. As an aspiring actor, Dick's relationship with a wealthy movie producer's assistant is the key to connecting Clarence with someone with enough money to buy the contents of the suitcase. That purchase leads to the climactic showdown between the producer's bodyguards, the police and the Mob.

From Quiz True Romance

Answer: Chris Penn

Officer Dimes and his partner Officer Cody Nicholson, played by Sizemore, are both killed in the shootout at producer Lee Donowitz's hotel room. Bronson Pinchot plays Elliot Blitzer, Donowitz's snivelling, stool pigeon, assistant who, as Dick Ritchie's friend, supplies the link between Clarence and Donowitz. He is also responsible for the police getting involved in the proceedings. Gandolfini plays Virgil, the mob muscle sent to find and retrieve the suitcase from Clarence and Alabama. After being beaten badly by Virgil, Alabama turns the tables on him with a Swiss Army knife, a can of hair spray, and a toilet tank lid.

From Quiz True Romance

Answer: Steve Buscemi

While Buscemi was in "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", he did not make an appearance in "True Romance". Samuel L. Jackson plays Big Don, who is killed by Drexl early in the movie during a deal for the suitcase. James Gandolfini is the hired gun who beats up Alabama in her motel room at the Safari Motor Inn in Hollywood. Val Kilmer is Clarence's imaginary Elvis/Mentor, and is never clearly visible throughout the movie. Elvis gives Clarence advice throughout the whole movie, and that advice is the catalyst for everything that happens to Clarence from beginning to end.
