Samuel L. Jackson says he was a perfectionist in that if it didn't look right he didn't use it hence the 201 ratio for shots. The lighting i saw somewhere that the lighting was really unusual here so many of those scenes did not have normal film lighting and they were all being lit by the set itself. Between takes like the actors are walking around with sunglasses because there's a lot of over exposed shots  with these bright lights and those lights were hot. He also said Shelley Duvall had a seem to have a really bad experience working with him but most actors don't say anything other than "he made me do this 200 times"
