To prepare for his role in Training Day, Denzel Washington spent time with real gang members from South Central Los Angeles, as well as “cops who were gangsters.” He explains what he learned through that process and how it shaped his character. “The original script of Training Day was more like Lethal Weapon. The character wore a plaid shirt and had a lot of empty beer cans in the trunk. But when Antoine [Fuqua] got involved, he brought the whole gangster element to it, working with real Crips and Bloods. We worked with some cops who were gangsters, and they made me understand that you have to be a gangster to deal with gangsters. So I would pick things from some of the things the cops told me. I said, ‘Well, how do you stay alive in this element?’ He said, ‘Informants.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘They never knew who was telling on each other.’ So that’s the line I used that the cop told me. I walk through a group of gangsters and I say, ‘You better call me.’ And I keep going. Now they’re all looking at each other. ‘What do you mean, call him? You know him?’ Now you set that doubt. And then a guy named Bone, who was the head of the Athens Park Bloods, gave me a lot of ideas. He’s like, ‘Oh, you’re talking about SHU program.’ I said, ‘SHU program?’ I’m thinking shoe. He said, ‘No, Special Housing Unit, where it’s 23-hour lockdown.’ The speech I do towards the end of the film, where I ad-libbed ‘King Kong ain’t got nothing on me’—I said to Antoine, ‘If you can, shoot everybody else first, because I’m working out what I’m going to say.’ Like SHU program. There was another scene: I give Ethan Hawke the PCP, and I’m like, ‘What else you call it?’ They said, ‘Oh, butt naked.’ I said, ‘You call it butt naked?’ Because that’s what you do when you smoke it—you get butt naked. So I started using it. I would throw in ‘butt naked.’ ‘Oh, you’re gonna get wet.’ They called it getting wet—getting wet, butt naked. And I’d do, like I said, in the other speech, ‘SHU program, 23-hour lockdown,’ and just kept building it like that.”

Michelle Pfeiffer was relatively an unknown in 1983 when "Scarface" (1983) was made. Both Al Pacino & Brian De Palma were against casting her. De Palma wasn't convinced that she had the chops to pull off a part that was initially earmarked for Glenn Close. But Producer Martin Bregman fought for Pfeiffer to be cast & managed to achieve it. Here is Al Pacino and Bregman talking about it: While discussing the film's female casting, Bregman said, "Michelle Pfeiffer... That was a battle because of everybody in town was going out for that. In spite of what [Al] said before, [he was] a star at the time. Michelle wasn't known at the time." "And you had that sense about her," Pacino said "Because I probably would have said no." "You did say no!" replied Bregman, inciting laughter from Pacino and the entire theater. Michelle Pfeiffer explaining about it: "Al was probably more intense back then, or I think it was maybe the nature of the project, and he didn’t particularly want me for the part, It was a very long and drawn-out audition process. I don’t know it seemed like forever but I think it was about two or three months. And I was terrified and I was really young, and I knew he didn’t want me, and as it went on, the worse I got because I just got so afraid.” ("Why Al Pacino “didn’t want” Michelle Pfeiffer in ‘Scarface’", Scott Campbell, Farout Magazine, 2024 "Al Pacino Did Not Want Michelle Pfeiffer For Scarface and 8 Other Revelations About the Gangster Classic", Movieline, 2011) P.S: Happy 68th birthday, Michelle Pfeiffer!
