According to the book “Quentin Tarantino FAQ” by Dale Sherman, one of the producers of “Natural Born Killers” didn’t exactly get along with Tarantino. Don Murphy got a hold of his script for the movie and sought to get it produced, but after a series of events he believed that Tarantino was trying to sabotage the project. Known for having a loose tongue, Murphy began badmouthing Tarantino, trying to paint him a ‘a hack.’

Things came to a head when Tarantino confronted Murphy at a restaurant and began punching him. Harvey Weinstein broke up the fight, and the two shook hands and promised to stop bad-mouthing each other. However, after Tarantino said he ‘bitch-slapped’ Murphy on television, Murphy sued him for $5 million.
