Trivia & production notes
- Tarantino conceived the film in 2007 while writing about spaghetti Western director Sergio Corbucci, inspired by how Corbucci's films depicted a brutal, surreal Wild West that dealt with fascism.
- Tarantino finished the script on April 26, 2011, and delivered it to the Weinstein Company.
- RZA and Tarantino had planned to cross over Django Unchained with RZA's film The Man with the Iron Fists, featuring a younger version of RZA's blacksmith character as a slave in an auction, but scheduling conflicts prevented the collaboration.
- The film's title references three earlier movies: the 1966 spaghetti Western Django, the 1959 Italian epic Hercules Unchained, and the 1970 biker film Angel Unchained.
- Will Smith turned down the role of Django because he felt it wasn't the lead role and wasn't right for him, though he later said the finished film was brilliant.
- Franco Nero, the star of the original 1966 Django film, proposed playing a mysterious horseman who would haunt Django in visions and be revealed as his father in a flashback, but Tarantino rejected the idea and gave Nero a minor cameo instead.
- Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell both exited the role of Ace Woody due to scheduling conflicts, leading the filmmakers to merge the character with Walton Goggins's Billy Crash rather than recast.
- Kerry Washington insisted that the whip lashings in her scenes actually hit her back rather than using fake contact, and she spent time in a confined metal box barely clothed before filming her punishment scene to authentically convey the feeling of confinement.
- Django Unchained was the first Tarantino film not edited by longtime collaborator Sally Menke, who died in 2010; editor Fred Raskin took over the role.
- During the phrenology scene, Leonardo DiCaprio cut his left hand on broken glass when striking the table but stayed in character while bleeding profusely, and the broken glass remains visible in the final film.
