by providing eight protagonists with uncertain pasts and nebulous morality, tarantino also affords the spectator a measure of autonomy absent in many modern films. this effect is reinforced by the carefully staged and layered 70mm tableaux that allow the viewer to decide where to look, and ultimately where to rest their allegiance once the bullets start flying and the film races towards a blood - soaked third act .

“the movie is close to reality even in its details, ” lawyer maxwell s. kennerly wrote on his blog, trial and litigation. “part of why the film has such staying power among lawyers is because, unlike, say, a few good men, everything that happens in the movie could happen—and often does happen—at trial. ” professor alberto bernabe of the john marshall law school, who hands his students a list of law movies organized by category, puts vinny under “education, ” not just because “it provides so much material you can use in the classroom. for example, you can use the movie to discuss criminal procedure, courtroom decorum, professional responsibility, unethical behavior, the role of the judge in a trial, efficient cross - examination, the role of expert witnesses and effective trial advocacy. ” the film has also been praised by a seventh circuit court judge; referenced by supreme court justice antonin scalia; used to teach young lawyers at legal conferences; and made it into a legal textbook .
tyson helped track down whether the movie rights to matheson’s story had been optioned, and eventually discovered that a teleplay was in development at abc and universal with producer george eckstein. spielberg took a meeting with eckstein, and brought a rough cut of his legendary 73 - minute series premiere episode of columbo, “murder by the book. ” eckstein was impressed, and gave spielberg the job to direct duel after a follow - up meeting where the filmmaker laid out how he envisioned the film from matheson’s screenplay in full .
one of the film’s running gags is the fact that vinny is always awakened by something—a steam whistle, noisy pigs, and, finally, a screech owl. lynn and his team used an actual owl for the scene, “which was probably a ridiculous chance to take, ” he said in dvd commentary. “people … think it’s a muppet because its behavior was so perfect. it screeched, it looked back at vinny, and then it looked back at the camera and screeched again. we got amazingly lucky with that screech owl. ”

when hogan was asked what the hardest animal to work with was by ign in 2001, he didn' t hesitate .
buffalo. cause if the buffalo doesn' t want to do anything, it weighs 2000 pounds and you know, it doesn' t. so you have to hang around [ and wait for it to be cooperative ]. the asian buffalo in australia with the 8 feet of horns. [ that scene in the first film took ] all day. it' s like he said,' i' ll just sit here. and you can' t do anything about it.'
in prep, someone at the studio pointed out what they thought was a big problem: what kind of italian mother doesn’t come down to support her son when he’s on trial? “well, that was a tough question, because the answer is, mother ought to have been there, ” lynn said in dvd commentary. “but she would just have been a damn nuisance. the script was already long enough... and we didn’t want to introduce another character who had no other plot function. ” to compromise, the filmmakers added some scenes where, after vinny comes down to alabama, bill’s mother has a heart attack. “we had bill trying to keep in touch with mother in hospital and getting messages and there were a couple of scenes to do with mother’s heart attack; we never saw her, ” lynn said. “when we started putting the film together in the cutting room, it was just obvious that these scenes were going to be in the way of the momentum of the film. and we said, ‘why don’t we just try leaving them out and see if anyone notices that mother never shows up? ’ nobody ever noticed. so we took those scenes out and saved between 5 and 10 minutes of stuff we really didn’t need. ”

ultimately, the idea got cut because lynn “said he did not know how to portray dyslexia, ” launer told abnormal use. the screenwriter was very unhappy about the omission because it made vinny seem “not so bright. you don’t know why it took him so long to get through the bar. and then suddenly he starts acting smart. what you have to do is make assumptions that he is actually a smart guy, and the law is just complicated and boring. and for some reason, he didn’t pay attention... . i don’t know if there is any other conclusion than that. ” in the final film, there’s no reason given for why it took vinny six times to pass the bar .
tomei didn’t have a lot of film experience when she landed the part of mona lisa vito. “i’d seen her [ on the set of oscar ] working with john landis and [ had ] gone with [ him ] to the cutting room to look at her performance, ” lynn said in dvd commentary. ” she was playing a 1920s blonde flapper, very different, but i could see how funny and talented she was. and we got her in to read. she read wonderfully and we persuaded the studio to let me go with this unknown actress in the role. it was the best decision i ever made. ” lynn said he knew they’d gotten the right actress for the part when he saw the dailies from the first scene they shot with her—mona lisa and vinny’s arrival in alabama, when she tells him, “oh, yeah, you blend. ”
director jonathan lynn cast his friend, austin pendleton—who, lynn said, has a stutter in real life—in the role of the tongue - tied public defender. “i knew he would be really funny in that part, ” lynn told abnormal use. “but i really didn’t quite imagine just how funny. and i had to literally hide behind the camera. i normally sit by the camera. but i had to hide because i was laughing so hard. i had to somehow stop myself from making a sound, and i couldn’t let austin be put off by seeing me … that’s the funniest moment i’ve had on any film i’ve ever made. ” whitfield agreed, telling abnormal use, “if you watch the movie and you see us at the table when he’s stuttering, and my shoulders are going up and down like i’m crying, i was laughing. i couldn’t help it. ”
lynn has a law degree from cambridge university, and, he said in dvd commentary, “i get terribly irritated when i see films in which the legal procedure is obviously wrong. ” in addition to launer’s research, lynn made adjustments to make sure the legal proceedings were correct. “i’m very pleased with the fact that, although this is heightened for comedic purposes, everything you see legally in this film could happen and is approximately correct, ” he said. “which, by the way, makes it the more frightening. ” lynn even sat in on a murder trial in the monticello, ga. courtroom that served as the inspiration for the vinny courtroom set. “some of the lines in the [ vinny trial ] came directly from that trial, ” he said, including lane smith’s pronunciation of heinous (“high - a - nus”) and his line about “our little old ancestors” in the opening remarks .
