Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (2019) [REACTION]! First Time Watching

[@TheOctobersReact]

What was your favorite Quentin Tarantino movie? We are torn bc they are all so good in their own ways!

[@joeygauvin2765]

Don't miss out on the Tarantino movie 4 rooms 👍

[@Casey-u2x]

If y'all recognize my name, you already know this is my favorite! THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME!!! Once upon a time that is LOL! I hope you all got all my other comments about this movie in your other post. I'm going to get all my chores done, get me some good food, grab me some beer and a snack and relax! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Been waiting on this one since y'all said y'all were doing the whole Tarantino journey! I'm very excited! 👍😎 I will leave some more detailed comments later. (Possibly)!

[@magicbrownie1357]

Because of its influence on pop culture and how original it was at the time, and it's just super well written, directed and acted, my favorite is still Pulp Fiction.

Your Tarantino Journey hasn’t finished, you guys still haven’t seen True Romance, which was written by QT

[@bwaredapenguin]

The Bruce Lee scene was a flashback showing why Rick said it'd be pointless to try to get him that job, not a delusion or daydream.

[@gorgejung307]

Well it’s QTs delusion and or daydream for sure

[@bwaredapenguin]

@gorgejung307 you are correct that this is a fictional movie.

[@GuarmaRummy]

@@gorgejung307 In fairness, a bunch of the lines "Bruce Lee" says in the movie come from interviews the real Bruce did over the years, so those are Bruce's own words. But I'll say in your defence... their "they did Bruce Lee dirty" take is more defendable than the goofs who say: "they did the manson family girls dirty." LOL which is a semi-popular take on this movie weirdly enough.

[@Grizzly_6623]

Legend has it that the “That’s too hot” “Well it’s a flamethrower” Moment ( 10:58 ) was unscripted and that was Leo’s and the stunt man’s real reactions 😂

[@xavvi]

There was a feeling, across the country but especially in Hollywood, that the Manson Family murders sort of marked the end of the age of love and innocence. Tarantino was framing the state of Hollywood and that particular age through the events that happened in such a way that it conflates the industry's highs and lows with the Manson family themselves as this looming threat to tangle with, the studio system moving in a new way and the old simpicity of the industry dying. It's like it was his wish that it had never changed like that and he expresses it by how he changed the ending.

[@pbryant929]

Steve McQueen was the highest-paid movie star in the world in 1974. He started his career on a TV show called WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, about a bounty hunter by the name of Josh Randall, not unlike the role played by the fictional Rick Dalton on the show BOUNTY LAW. He went on to star in such movies as THE CINCINNATI KID, THE GREAT ESCAPE, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, BULLITT, and THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR to name a few.

[@jb8280]

40s? Brad is around 60. Late 50s when filming this film. Genes, baby.

[@jonathansmith8672]

Margot Robbie's portrayal of Sharon Tate was so accurate that Sharon's real-life sister, Debra, actually cried her eyes out at the premiere and said that she "sounded just like Sharon" and that the film helped bring her sister back. 51:02 Also, Dakota Fanning's character, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, was said to have actually had a sexual affair with the 80-year old George Spahn, and then she went on to attempt to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford in September 1975 because she blamed him for allowing industrial pollution to go rampant and affect the world.

The guy who was at the Playboy Mansion describing the relationships between Sharon Tate and the two men, was the famous actor Steve McQueen, who starred in the movie The Great Escape (in real life) and that's the movie that DiCaprio was saying he almost got the part instead of McQueen, and it showed what it would have looked like if he had been in the movie

[@FollowingGhost]

Bruce Lee wasn't just an actor. He trained with Ip Man, the person who introduced the world to Wing Chun kung-fu. He was born in the US and moved back from China. He opened several studios to teach then became an actor. He created his own style known as Jeet Kune Do, the Way of the Intercepting Fist in English. He taught stars, pro athletes, and people who would become some of the best known martial artists in the world. He also came up with the TV show Kung Fu but wasn't allowed to star in it because he was Chinese. In the Green Hornet he was said to be so fast the cameras couldn't follow him.

[@shawnd482]

He was also a famous child actor an dancer b4 coming to the US. Lee appeared in over 20 films in Hong Kong as a child, starting at age 3. That's probably why Cliff mentioned the dancer bit.

[@itsreeeshaaa7560]

Muhammad Ali’s birth name is Cassius Clay. That’s who Bruce Lee’s talking about. Tex Watson is being portrayed by the unknown Austin Butler. Lol

[@h.donnellgrayiii4276]

Chuck Norris is one of few men still alive who have fought Bruce Lee in an open martial arts tournament AND on screen choreographed fight scene - and HE says Bruce Lee was 100% the real deal legend not only a fine actor. Chael Sonnen is just runnin his lip as usual. You should consider the source before quoting someone, Georgia boy 😊😊😊😊🎉

[@Christian_Adonis1]

Sharon Tate wasn’t the only known person who was murdered that night, all the people in that house were famous and rich. As someone who grew up in this time, you definitely shouldn’t just take a “Unauthorized books” account, as none of the people who died were the intended targets.

[@mrtim5363]

It was one of the Beach Boys & his producer who turned down Mansons musical aspirations. The Beach Boy (won't name) that lived there was warned Manson was very angry, very dangerous & knew where he lived & as a precaution it would be best if he moved out. He did, & Sharon Tate moved in. Manson & gang were unaware of the new tenant.

[@XXdocdropXX]

My mom‘s high school sweetheart was Steven Parent, the first victim, the night of the Sharon Tate murders by Charles Manson’s followers. Her prom photo with him is featured in the book Helter Skelter and tattooed on my arm. Even 50 years later, she’s still sketchy to talk about it, but I took her to see this movie when it came out.

[@XXdocdropXX]

He was there the wrong time at the wrong place just to sell electronic equipment to the groundskeeper. She’s only talked publicly once in 50 years about it on a podcast, but the photo lives on in infamy. I can walk into any bookstore library in the country or maybe even the world and find a photo of my mom.

[@JoshWall79]

Please don’t forget about True Romance. Although not technically Tarantino, it was written by him and definitely feels like one of his movies. ❤

[@porflepopnecker4376]

QT pretty much made this film particularly for those people who would get all the references, or at least a good deal of them. Everyone else is left sorta on their own. One puzzled reactor even complained that everything before the "Six Months Later" was irrelevant.

[@EternalBlade]

Something I love about this movie is when Kurt Russell is narrating the movies he was in while in Italy, the director of the James Bond style one is Antonio Margeratti. Thats the name of the guy playing the Bear Jew in Inglorious bastards when Christoph Waltz is making them repeat their names to him in the theater.

[@arnellivy2143]

2 things: 1) In the 60’s the word “puss” meant “face” 2) Hitchhiking these days is literally Uber and all other ride sharing. Literally the same thing

[@JasonNaas]

[@garyseward1641]

The stuntman who got the better of Bruce Lee in reality was Gene Lebell. He grabbed up Bruce Lee onto his shoulder and held him up there, and ran all around the set. Gene was also a martial artist and when he released Bruce, they became friends and Bruce started training under him. Gene was famous for his grappling technique.

[@dylanblake7807]

That part about Cliff killing his wife was taken from the real life rumor of actor Robert Wagner killing his wife Natalie Wood on a boat which he claimed she fell overboard.

[@TXRager]

With Christopher Walken also on the boat the night she died.

[@mrtim5363]

Curiously, Natalie Wood was known for having a fear of water & a dislike for boats. Just her being on a boat in the water is suspicious in itself & raised many Red Flags.

[@aleatharhea]

Oh, The Great Escape, with Steve McQueen and an all-star cast is definitely real. And based on a true story. It's a great movie, a real touchstone. Y'all should react to it! As far as poll category, it would fall into WWII, imprisonment, and escape/survival.

[@AlexanderStewart-k2v]

The scene they showed was just a cut and paste from the movie only with Rick Dalton instead of Steve McQueen!

[@aleatharhea]

@@AlexanderStewart-k2v yes, that is correct.

[@arnellivy2143]

I dint think Tarantino is making a statement about “all actors” even though DeCaprio’s freak out scene in the trailer could be applied to many actors. I think it’s just a story telling tool to show us what this actor is going through, and what drove him toward making improvements in his craft. Not all movies make a grand statement about a group of people or society. I think it was literally just a part of character development.

[@Anaj-us4eo]

What the great escape with Steve McQueen….all the references to actors and movies and shows are real at that time. Sharon wasn’t married before she was engaged to Jay Sebring

[@tonyhoable]

Cliff wasn't being delusional. Its what happened and why he wasn't needed for stunts when Rick went to the studio

[@toddhill7483]

Margaret Qualley, who plays Pussycat, was also outstanding in the film, The Substance.

[@timothywhitfield8785]

Pulp Fiction was my fav FOREVER till this one (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood) took it over as #1. That said, all his films are interesting.

[@paulamoya7956]

Same for me … Pulp was always #1 for me until this film. ⭐️☑️

[@cyokel]

Eventually you have to watch 4 Rooms. It's four different directors doing four parts to a movie. Robert Rodriguez and Tarantino do the last two parts and they're both great. Also, Tim Roth (Mr. Orange) is the main character throughout, and it's a hilarious performance

[@ThatJunkman]

I think anyone that dream of being an actor would tell anyone she can she’s in a movie. She’s happy and proud of herself.

[@paulinoaz]

4:50 That is true, the swastika symbol has been used for many, many years before Hitler was around. You can google pictures of ancient Buddha statues that have swastika symbols on them.

[@Easy_Skanking]

The Nazis called their emblem 'hazenkreuz', which was incorrectly translated to the Sanskrit word “swastika” rather than “hooked cross’ in English translations of Mein Kampf.

[@clockwork204]

You can still see swastikas adorning temples in Asia like in India, Japan, China, Singapore, etc.

[@richardzinns5676]

The swastika symbol was, though of Asian origin, was popular with many groups in the west before the Nazi party existed (notably the Theosophists), and many soldiers on both sides in World War I wore or carried swastika insignia. I hadn't heard before about Manson's comments on the swastika, but he's right that the Nazi version reverses the original Hindu symbol in the sense that the shorter lines that branch off perpendicularly from the longer central ones are facing in the opposite direction from those in the original symbol.

[@mgordon1100]

I'd like to make a few points. 1. You two really got it at the end. Just like in the movies, Cliff did all the work, while Rick steps up with the flame thrower to take all the credit. 2. You missed the mark when Rick was invited into the Polanski house for a couple of drinks. These are friendly neighbors and good people. The thumbs up in this situation was to signal to Rick that he was more than OK with Rick accepting the invitation. 3. The whole house was cheering for Tarantino's alternative ending to this tragic event. Nobody expected it, and it really turned out to be a happy ending for all of us that knew about these killings all our lives. 4. Got to mention this. Brandy was the real hero!

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Roman Polanski is not a good person but is a great filmmaker. "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" are essential works. (Polanski is also a Holocaust survivor, which isn't an excuse for sexual assault but maybe gives some insight into his damage)

[@Curraghmore]

It is true that the swastika symbol is much older than Nazism and Hitler. It was a symbol of peace in Hinduism, but it was usually displayed in a square orientation, sitting on one side, whereas the Nazis turned it 45 degrees so that it sat on one corner, like a diamond shape. There was an industrial laundry company in Dublin in Ireland that used the swastika as their logo from the 1920s. They dropped the logo for obvious reasons during WW-II but continued using it again after the war until the 1980s. Sadly it's pretty much always associated with the Nazis now.

[@KyleYoung-b2q]

It dates back thousands of years across multiple continents

[@grichard1585]

Sharon Tates husband is Roman Polanski who is a great film director --- Chinatown --- Rosemarys' Baby -- The Pianist

[@brandonmartin08]

The Bruce Lee thing was Cliff remembering something that actually happened. He was pondering the reasons the husband and wife directors didn’t like him. Fair enough 😆

[@wroot_lt]

I didn't know about the murders and watched it blindly. Really liked. And the more i see it (reactions also) the more i like it. It is just the vibe of those times. Oh, and "fair enough" was not about killing his wife, that was a flashback on what happened last time Rick tried to get him a stunt job and he blew it away by fighting with Bruce Lee. He said fair enough that he can't get job in there anymore. I guess after watching so many movies you are now looking for things in movies or you get distracted as you discuss things during scenes :) That looked like a straight flashback. And at the end there was nothing looking nefarious when guy gave thumbs up. He was just encouraging Rick to agree to come and get a few drinks with the company.

[@renzero9206]

I think with relation to Sharon Tate and her story, the film hits differently depending on how much her death means to you. As someone old enough to have lived when that event was still fresh in the public consciousness, hearing Robbie's voice as Sharon over the intercom at the end, always hits me. But kudos for reading up on it beforehand. It makes a difference for sure.

[@mgordon1100]

Absolutely! I was two years old when it happened. Of course I didn't know what happened, but I still learned of Manson and the event at an early age.

[@aleatharhea]

Pulp Fiction is my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie. You said you'd be scared to hitchhike. Here's a little background to explain why they weren't. There was a huge surge in serial killers In the 70s, 80s, and 90s. It became known as a serial killer epidemic and "the golden age of serial killers". Before that, the phenomenon was all but unknown. Hitchhikers were sometimes picked up by serial killers, but it took a while for the phenomenon of serial killers (the term didn't even become widely known and official FBI lingo until sometime in the 80s), much less the dangers of hitchhiking, to become known to the general public. So in 1969, it was still pretty innocent and freewheeling, with kids blithely hitchhiking to get around.

[@mrtim5363]

In the 1960's hitching hundreds or even thousands of miles, even across state lines was common. Especially those that wanted to go to either LA or NY. Hitch hiked hundreds of miles & gave hundreds of miles of rides to hitch hikers that I picked up. & The only problem I ever ran across picking up strangers, was bad hygiene.

[@ronaldalagia9211]

everyone puts down cliff's car but thats a carmen gia and that's a cool car.

[@mcfierce]

Same car Uma Thurman drove at the end of Kill Bill Volume 2.

[@bobcobb3654]

The Rick and Cliff characters are loosely based on Burt Reynolds and his stunt double Hal Needham. Burt was a hotshot on Gunsmoke, then got fired, but got a career resurgence after going to Italy to star in a few movies (particularly “Navajo Joe,” directed by Sergio Corbucci, of “Django” fame). Hal was Burt’s best friend who lived in his guest house for a decade and was inspired to write “Smokey and the Bandit” after catching Burt’s maid stealing Coors beer from the house.

[@jlb6]

Kato was played by Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet. This was a popular radio show that inspired tv show to counterprogram Batman. With Adam West

[@clyoung71]

In the last scene, notice that Sharon Tate comes down the driveway to meet Rick wearing a Don Meredith Dallas Cowboys jersey. Tate was originally from Dallas.

There's a metric shit tonne of 60s Hollywood and cultural references that sadly went right over your heads. It’s not your fault, it's just the generational differences I guess. Anyway, look up Roman Polanski and Steve McQueen - they've made some all-time great movies.

Manson had been to the house before when Terry Melcher (son of Doris Day) and his gf Candy (the actress Candice Bergen) lived there. Terry was a music producer and had hosted a party in which Dennis and Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame attended. Manson thought of himself as singer and songwriter and was after Terry to produce his music. Manson was at the house looking for Terry as he had cut off contact with Manson.

[@randyhochstein8455]

Just out of curiosity, did you miss the text identifying characters at The Playboy Mansion, or do you not know who Steve McQueen was? ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

[@Anaj-us4eo]

Charles Manson spent most of his life behind bars. He was a very small man in statue, but had that elusive charisma. Hard to see it in pictures, etc. his made up philosophies grabbed ahold of young woman who were looking for a different lifestyle. This is when social norms were breaking. All the free love etc. Manson just turned that into a lifestyle. He met Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys, Brian’s younger brother at a party and they talked music and Charles played on a guitar a song that caught Dennis’s attention. The record producer was Terry Melcher, the son of a VERY famous actress Doris Day. Dennis and Charles went to that house on Celio dr where Terry said no in taking Charles on as a recording artist. Charles felt slighted. A few months past and Terry and his girlfriend at the time, another VERY famous actress from a very famous family Candace Bergman they left to a beach house b/c it was getting too hot in LA. They leased the house out to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. Manson didn’t know who Sharon Tate was, not sure if he knew who Roman Polanski was/is, yes he had an affair with an underage girl, long after this incident. He didn’t go to her gravesite, as he couldn’t bare to lose her and his baby in such a way. Manson picked the La Bianca house b/c it was next door to a house he once partied at. He didn’t know them, but he was there when they were killed, but just outside. A manson girl picked up on another charge blabbed to another woman in her cell what they had done, they might never had been caught except for that nugget that toppled Spawn Ranch and Charles and his followers. The amount of drugs and alcohol used by them was enormous. Charles so small was able to hide in a small cabinet in the bathroom. They caught him, of course he’s completely mental just not insane by the standards of the law. It changed the whole vibe in Southern California not to mention the whole state and country. Many celebs feared they would be next. That whole lazy days of summer were killed forever that night. All the innocence was lost. We have never been the same. After that came on all the serial killers of the 70’s and 80’s…

I read the book Helter Skelter written by DA Vincent Bugliosi. When I was in my 20's. I'm a bit of a true crime buff and my husband bought me an encyclopedia of serial killers for Christmas about 15 years ago. I have to take a step back every once in awhile, but my stepmom was obsessed with Charles Manson interviews and I remember her showing us a televised interview with him when we were little and I remember having nightmares afterwards. I was about 8 at the time.

[@joecarr5412]

@29:10 "Oh, so that's what WOULD have happened?" Uhh no... he was clearly remembering when Rick said there's really no point to ask him to do stunt-work on his current job, and that was a scene that LEGITIMATELY happened at least in the movie. Then afterwards he's like "fair enough" as to why there's really no point to ask him to stunt again since he fucked up so badly last time by getting in a fight with their series lead and messing up her car. Kinda can't believe that needed explaining. Then again I remember something about his two worst movies ever made, Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight being mentioned at the beginning in a positive light? Perhaps you guys just pay attention to different stuff than most people. I can't explain it though. Edit: Later I heard something like "it's hard to tell in this movie what's real." Like... has there been ANY part of this movie AT ALL that HASN'T been real? If it's shown, it happened. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

The detail in this movie is really amazing. I had a tunnel vision moment in that last scene, because I've SEEN those clothes in the crime scene photos, all messed up and covered in 🩸, and it was such a weird (positive) feeling to imagine them just going on with their night, hanging out with neighbours, being okay... Having been familiar with the case and going into this movie blind, as soon as I saw them dumpster diving in the beginning, I said to my husband, "Oh, that looks like Charlie Manson's girls." Realizing slowly over the course of the film that it was a movie about those murders was cool, it was very well done.

[@ronaldalagia9211]

the fight with bruce lee was a flashback not wishful thinking or a dream. it actually happened and that's why he was fixing the antenna instead of being in the new movie. what is with you guys thinking everone is dreaming or something all the time. come on. if i didn't like you guys i'd quit watching, but i do like you so i'm stuck here.

Kudos for knowing Maya Hawke is Uma's daughter 🙂 Other Hollywood family ties in the film include - Margaret Qualley, who played "Pussycat", (Andie MacDowell's daughter); Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin Smith's daughter); Rumer Willis (Demi' Moore's daughter); and Bruce Dern (Laura Dern's father). One more fun fact - Cliff killing his wife is based on the real-life incident involving Robert Wagner. He was alleged to have killed his wife Natalie Wood (in the film, Cliff's wife is called Natalie). After 40+ years, Wagner was officially cleared of any wrongdoing.

[@nubykiller2027]

Also David Fincher movies like Zodiac and mindhunter is really good about serial killers which has a charlies Manson eps played by the same actor in this

[@larksmom]

the Bruce Lee scene was my favorite of the whole movie. I was 15 that summer. I remember all that Manson stuff. The blonde man at the party describing Roman and Sharon, was Steve McQueen. Later when Rick was chatting with The guy on the set they put in a scene from The Great Escape. (GREAT movie, you should see it!) and that was Steve McQueen with Leo's head on his body. Roman Polanski was married to Sharon Tate. They are perephial to the story. The story is Cliff and Rick. Did you notice Cliff was drinking milk? When she goes into the bookstore to pick up a book for her husband, the book was Tess, and that was the next movie for him. He did hit on Natassia Kinski who was a minor, so he fled to France for many years. (I thought her's was the weakest story in the movie.} They just wanted people to understand who she was. She only made 3 forgettable movies. She is only famous because she was murdered. The tv shows were all real except Bounty Law. (the dog was a girl.)

[@kluneberg8952]

i hope they react to rodriguez's Alita battle angel

[@brettgoucher8783]

Tarantino gets the very best out the of his actors. Margaret Qualley was incredible as pussycat. She has never been in a role since then as good. Also Sydney Sweeney in certainly one of her first roles

[@kluneberg8952]

an underrated kurt russell movie imo is 3000 miles to graceland. also starring kevin costner, its a about after elvis impersonators steal money during a elvis convention in vegas. fun fact kurt russell was in a scene with elvis as a kid, then played him in a movie in the 70s, and then did 3000 miles. Edit: a good sci fi from Rodriguez is Alita Battle Angel. has the german guy from inglorious and django

[@angelagraves865]

Kevin Costner's best acting, imo.

[@BM-hb2mr]

35:59. Yes real movie with Steve McQueen in Great Escape. Great movie by the way. Also the man telling the Pulaski story was playing Steve McQueen. To The woman that said something about 14 year old boys.

REACTION TO INCEPTION PLEASE!!

[@SlipperyPeteClassic]

One of Mrs. October's favourite Tarantino flicks is Jackie Brown. She's seen the light. A lot of the Bruce Lee stuff is based on how other stuntmen felt about him in the early days of his career, when he was a TV star, but not a movie star yet. Apparently he wasn't very good at pulling his punches, so he ended up hitting stuntmen for real, and he supposedly did not take their complaints about it very seriously. So a stuntman like Cliff during that time period would have disliked him before even meeting him. The book version that came out two years after the movie is a great companion to the movie. It has a lot of details and story lines that aren't in the movie - and then there's stuff from the movie that isn't in the book. There's a lot more of Manson in the book and it goes into a lot of details about him that you don't hear about very often. The whole cult thing was practically a novelty to him. The thing he really wanted was to get his music career going. He would have dropped every single member of his "family" in a heartbeat if it meant becoming a famous musician. Don't believe that crap Manson said about the swastika... a lot of hateful people display that symbol in some way and then use that whole "Buddhist symbol of peace" nonsense as a lame defense. There's also a 6 episode documentary series that ShowTime released the same summer this movie came out: "Helter Skelter: An American Myth". If there's a way to stream it online, definitely check it out.

That Bruce Lee scene was a flashback not a delusion. Also when Bruce is talking about possibly fighting and besting Cassius Clay, he is referring to Muhammad Ali. Clay was his birth name before adopting the Muslim faith

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

There is still some Tarantino stuff. He wrote the Tony Scott movie True Romance, and he did rewrites on Tony Scott’s movie Crimson Tide. He’s also in the 2007 Takashi Miike‘s English language Japanese western Sukiyaki Western Django. He didn’t write Sukiyaki Western Django, but he is in it, and it is a Django movie Tarantino was actually in a while before doing his own Django Western.

Charles did come to the house looking for terry, Charles hung out there when terrh lived there and hung out with candice bergen

[@itt23r]

In real life, since you asked, Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski had a house that was previously owned by the Beach Boys. And Charlie Manson was a friend of the band who dropped by all the time. They even recorded one of his songs although they changed it enough that they didn't have to give him credit. So that may have had something to do with his later murder spree. And the movie THE GREAT ESCAPE starring Steve McQueen was a real movie and one you should probably react to, it is that good. In fact it is iconic. So to film DiCaprio's test run they took an actual scene from the movie and spliced him into the scene in place of McQueen.

[@carlwhite1743]

Wish I could give a thumbs up to this comment twice.

[@kluneberg8952]

and steve mcqueen was the guy at the playboy mansion telling the love story

[@Parallax-3D]

Not The Beach Boys. The house was previously rented by record producer Terry Melcher and his girlfriend Candice Bergen.

[@itt23r]

@@Parallax-3D Thanks for the correction. I don't know why I thought the Beach Boys owned the place. But I do remember that Manson was a friend of one of them.

[@FantasticBabblings]

Terry Melcher was the son of actress/singer Doris Day.

[@giantislanders]

So pumped my top 3 QT movies this Pulp and Hateful 8

[@rollomaughfling380]

13:20 You're thinking of Steven Seagal. A friend of mine was on SNL when Seagal hosted, and Steven refused to lose a fight in a sketch, when him losing the fight was the whole point. The resulting sketch was historically bad. Said it was the worst week ever there.

[@chart6454]

“The Great Escape” is most definitely real and you should most definitely check it out.

[@mikefetterman6782]

That was Jack Nicolson on the billboard.

[@buddinganarchist]

Octobers, the tv movie Helter Skelter is really creepy. The guy who plays Manson is amazing. Check it out one day.

[@kevinslayzak1214]

Yes.. I'm pretty sure The Rock is that female that contractually won't lose a fight on film..😅big ego is everyone's downfall eventually.

[@mrtim5363]

Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Mark Wahlberg, & Sylvester Stallone fall into that too, has any of those 'actors' played a loser? & Us old timers would be hard pressed to name a film where John Wayne lost a fist fight. & They don't understand it makes them less of a real actor & make us wonder why their sense of self worth is so fragile that they'd turn down a $20 million film because the Director contractually insist they lose a fight.

[@svampen7782]

40s? No brad just turned 60 and this movie was in 2019 so he did this in his late 50s.

[@buddinganarchist]

Octobers, Tarantino did write the screenplay for Natural Born Killers.

[@j.scottbrown8602]

Bruce Lee was rumored to be real jerk on set. The stuntmen hated him because he was known to purposely hurt them during rehearsals and filming scenes. Hitchhiking was super common back then. Pulp Fiction no question about it. Good job reacting. A little less talking and more paying attention to the story would probably help.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

This is my third favorite Tarantino directed movie. Along with Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. From Dusk Till Dawn and True Romance are great also. The performances in this are great. Cliff and Rick were not real people but are based on a couple of real ones. Just nothing to do with the whole Manson thing. The people at the Playboy mansion were all real people. Steve McQueen, Mama Cass and Michele Phillips and Joey Heatherton. And the movies and tv shows were actual things. The Great Escape, FBI, Hullabaloo, The Wrecking Crew are all real. The song the girls were singing walking down the street was the real song they sung. This wasn’t about Manson but more about the time.

[@AlexandruFlorea1990]

Awesome reaction 👍

[@TheOctobersReact]

Thank you 😁

[@mikefetterman6782]

Cassius Clay was the name of the heavy weight champ who turned Muslim in the mid 60s and changed his name to Mohammed ALI.

[@jlb6]

Roman Polanski -Chinatown. Great director and I always loved his movie for Sharon - Tess of the Dubervilles. His holocaust escape insuring the War is a remarkable story. Polanski rose to fame with Rosemary’s Baby (famous horror movie), and another Oscar for the Pianist. The sex charge was complicated, and the victim has wanted to move on.

[@bravedown50]

You can still check out Quentin’s scripts he sold when he first started out. Both very good movies, True Romance and Natural Born Killers.

[@randallwilliamson3838]

The stuntman did snatch Bruce Lee up and carried him around tucked under his arm. It was humiliating enough that Bruce Lee started training in grappling. Whether Lee was an ass or not is up for debate, but the reason they brought that particular stuntman in is because Lee kept hitting the other stuntmen and they were getting fed up with it.

[@jonnog]

Bruce lee is more than an actor he created mixed martial arts
