Making of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" - BTS On Location July 23, 24 & Oct 22, 23 2018

[@carlchilders9538]

The best part of this movie is that, for nearly three hours, you're transported to 1969.

[@jasongoodacre]

I agree. After watching the movie I was like, how did they do that? Every shot was 1969 including wide shots of freeways.

[@bowtie3]

Except to go through all that and flubbed the ending. And get that the Manson family were hippies wrong.They were not. They were just a right-wing racist cult and crooks.

[@carlchilders9538]

@@bowtie3 I don't think so. Right wingers in 1969 had crew cuts and wore ties. The Manson family were long-haired, tie-dye wearing, dumpster-diving stoners with contempt for authority and affluence. They were the opposite of right wing.

[@carlchilders9538]

@Joe town It must have been the best time in our nation's history to be a young adult.

[@carlchilders9538]

@Joe town I couldn't agree any more. Males and females assumed roles more aligned with the actual laws of nature rather than this feminist nonsense encouraging females to have big mouths leaving many men never to marry. Also, look at all the great muscle cars that were produced in 1969. Today, guys think their bad-ass driving in tiny little electric cars. Please, take me back to 1969!!!!

The amount of effort that went into this film is mind blowing. I'm going to reward this effort by seeing it over and over again while it's in the theaters and then buying the DVD. I've seen it once so far and can't stop thinking about it, which is always the measure of a film's quality. Tarrantino is a genius and this is his masterpiece.

Into this film? Do you know how much effort was put in Birth of Nation? This movie isn't an exception just because Tarantino is a director.

[@cindyinnew]

@@coldwinter5710I totally agree. It’s his love story to LA and it shows in every frame. Not only is the detail incredible, the script, the cast and of course QT’s reimagining of the worst mass murders in LA history at that time…all done with nothing short of brilliance

It’s really amazing how much time, resources and effort something like this takes. You literally have to turn the dial back; add and dress extras, bring in cars and props from the era, change the buildings, divert traffic then schedule shooting. Blows my mind. It’s all worth it of course..everyone I’ve met who’s seen this movie praised it.

[@3hooks781]

I remember being on set as an extra for Malcolm X. 3rd avenue and 122nd street was turned into 1960s era 125th street in Harlem. It was the same level of detail; truly breath taking. I visit LA often and I regret not being around to witness the transformation of the blvd. Great video.

One gets a good sense of how much Quentin Tarantino is in control of the set. Outside of the his script, this is probably what makes his movies so consistently good.

[@AnnMargretFan]

One mistake I did discover when I saw the film on Friday AM.... when Sharon (Margot) enters the theatre in Westwood to see her film "The Wrecking Crew", the Ann-Margret film "CC & Company" is playing on the screen. I'm friends with Ann-Margret, and know her films quite well... in fact, this film was written by her husband, Roger Smith. The premiere date for "CC" was October 14, 1970, in New York City. The actual filming of "CC & Company" began on April 13, 1970. However, the time period in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" was from February, 1969 through August 9, 1969... more than a year before the film was released to the public.

[@Te0dosko]

Nice catch! Did u like the movie overall? We are little late with movies out here so I gotta wait till August.

@Jimmy Short One "possible" mistakes I noticed, was the advertisement for the Fright Night with Seymour show. I believe that show debuted in 1970, not 1969.

[@ritadaniels3175]

[@FreedomCinema88]

It's amazing how much work goes in details you see for less than a second in the movie

[@marka.5135]

This is by far THE BEST behind-the-scenes footage I've seen. I was there for the two October shoots and yes, you are literally put in a time warp just standing around the set. And the amazing thing is after having seen OUATIH four times now, the boulevard set only shows up in about three or four brief, day and night driving scenes. Nonetheless, the QT spared very little and essentially got every period detail exact. And not surprisingly, the finished movie is quite spectacular.

[@pyrocus]

The ending is epically dreamy, a what if....the whole world has asked since that night. What if they got the wrong house, being hippies that should've been a pre-requisite, hence the earlier noisy engine at midnight shouting match. A fabulous take on a genuine question. So much was destroyed in those early hours, whatever the sixties brought, it ended that night...& the modern world with all its horrors were punched into life. We now live in a dimension AFTER that night & its often ugly. Those deaths took so much from us. God bless the 7 lost.

That's way cool you could identify that! I know exactly what you're talking about. They had the Toronado front drive set-up.

This is the reality of film making folks. Standing around for hours & when you finally film it's over in seconds. "hurry up or wait" is the film industry's moto. An average of 4 directions of shots per scene & an average of 3 to 4 takes per shot for the Director & Editor to mull over in the editing room. Frequent late night shoots. 11 pm to 5 am, then the city wants their street back so it doesn't effect the morning commute.

[@jdh6752]

Quentin doesn't go down the conventional route of filming every scene from multiple angles. He doesn't even decide which angles he wants until he gets onto the set that day. There are many occasions when he'll decide on just one set-up for a scene and stick to that.
