Did You Know?
| Trivia | Quentin Tarantino grew up collecting Luke Cage comics, and he wanted to make a film adaptation starring Laurence Fishburne after directing Reservoir Dogs (1992). He later explained, "What actually dissuaded me from doing it... was my comic geek friends talked me out of it... Because I had an idea that Larry Fishburne would've been the perfect guy to play Luke Cage... But all my friends were like, 'No, no, listen, it's got to be Wesley Snipes.' And I go, 'Look, I like Wesley Snipes, but Larry Fishburne is practically Marlon Brando. I think Fish is the man.' And they're like, 'Yeah, but he'd have to get in shape in a big way. Snipes is that way already!' And I go, 'Fuck that! That's not that important! Fuck you, you ruined the whole damn thing!'" He made Pulp Fiction (1994) instead. See more » |
| Goofs | Behind the desk in Cottonmouth's office is a very fancy type of flat panel TV that actually mechanically extends from the wall and flips the screen so that one side is a TV monitor while the other is a painting or some other form of art. In some scenes throughout the first 6 episodes or so, there is a small black reading lamp that appears only when the "art-side" is facing out, almost as if the set dressers forgot there was a TV on the other side and that the lamp would have been knocked over if anyone ever turned on the TV.
