Dedication to his craft
One of the most iconic scenes in Django Unchained is after Monsieur Candy figures out that Dr. Schultz and Django don’t intend to purchase his third-best Mandingo fighter for the outrageous sum of $12,000. We can thank Stephen for uncovering their ploy.
In the scene, we see Leonardo rub his blood all over Broomhilda’s face. What you might not have realized was that that was actually Leo’s blood. His hand wasn’t supposed to bleed after smacking his turtle-shell-top table. He accidentally cut his hand, but the cameras didn’t stop rolling. It really made the situation even tenser than originally planned.
