Contrary to popular belief, Tarantino's actual reason for changing the main character's name to Jackie Brown from Jackie Burke was due to his fandom of the Peter Yates film, The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), which featured a flamboyant and cocky arms dealer named "Jackie Brown", whose characteristics and behavior were the inspiration for both the book and film versions of Ordell Robbie. The author of Jackie Brown's source material "Rum Punch", Elmore Leonard, was a noted George V. Higgins fan, and claims him as one of his inspirations, Higgins being the author of the book The Friends of Eddie Coyle.
