Leo with the bloody hand was both real and fake. Yes, when he broke the glass, Leo did cut his hand and for a time continued to perform. However, they patched him up between takes and instead of dismissing the real event, Tarantino decided to continue with Leo having a bloody hand and used fake blood; it would have been a truly dick move if Leo smeared his own blood all over Kerry Washington's face.
I might be wrong..but I've heard it on several things that he wiped his real blood on her..which I hope he didn't cuz that would be gross and disrespectful.
@@totesmegoatscrystal9688 People heard it was a real cut, and assumed it was real blood he smeared on her. It wasn't. After they finished the scene, Leo got stiches in his hand, and while that was happening, he asked Tarantino if he could smear fake blood on Washington, and Tarantino agreed. They had a bunch of fake blood around because they used squibs instead of CGI for the gunshot effects.
24:16 "The D is silent"; "I know" That scene flies over people's heads, because they don't know that, that actor is Frank Nero, he is the original Django from the spaghetti westerns of the 60's and 70's.
My Dad used to take me to those movies, Any Westerns we could see together. He got a part-time job at a Drive-In Theatre, so we could watch as many movies as we could together, sneaking out in the middle of the night. Like we would when going out hunting. And I got him to take me to 2001: A Space Odyssey, to share my enjoyment of Sci-Fi with him in exchange for introducing me to Westerns. Great Memories Sci-Fi and Westerns
@@jmsmys13ify Do you really think it's a German trait to know how to pour a beer? What to you think we Austrians have made for Hundreds of Years??? Drinking Water and Horsepiss like you Americans with your Beer Ersatz Budweiser & Miller. Get a real Budweiser Budvar from the City of Budweis (Czech: Budějovice) in the Czech Republic. And maybe the Germans have there purity law. But we have full 2-3 Pages of Laws describing what's a Beer and what's Horsepiss.
*"I cant see f@cking sh!t outta this thing!!!"* - Big Daddy was a scumbag, but I swear he had me cracking up multiple times in 5 minutes or so he was onscreen. 😂😂
The reason miss Laura went flying at such an odd angle is a nod to the old westerns. Women were not alowed to die violently on screen so the crew would tie a rope around the actresses waist and yank her out of shot often in complete disregard of physics.

@@trfreitas1983 but waltz was not the leading actor in this, and despite Samuel and dicaprio were phenomenal but Waltz was way ahead of them…. A well deserved oscar.
Django Unchained is a fucking fantastic film from top to bottom. It's legitimately one of few films I've ever seen where the more I've seen it, the more I enjoy it as opposed to the other way around. I legit have nothing I can complain about. Pacing is great, characters are authentic, script is awesome, casting is stellar, practical effects are terrific, soundtrack is perfect, cinematography is excellent...I have no grievances whatsoever. Wifey and I actually saw it in theaters when it came out Christmas Day in 2012. It deserved every award it was given. Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino almost DIDN'T make this film. While he loved the concept of a spaghetti western, the subject matter involved made him very uncomfortable and he wasn't sure how to approach writing the script in a way that wouldn't be unintentionally offensive. It took counsel from Jamie Foxx, Samuel L Jackson, and a few black directors that are friends of his to convince him to commit to it 100%. They told him that in order to tell this story in the way it needs to be told, he couldn't sugarcoat it and had to commit 100% to the history behind it. I'm glad he had the courage to see it through, because in doing so, he created one of -- if not his absolute -- best films.
💯 as a decensdant of slaves, I realize more folks truly don't comprehend the horror. And the generational trauma that continues. Tarantino made an excellent film.
@@Royaltypeppers yeah the plot is not 100 historically accurate. The violence is closer to truth than other movies, and I imagine a larger audience will see that in a Tarantino flick versus 12 yrs a slave or movies like that.
24:15 still gives me chills. The whole "I know.." That man asking his name is Franco Nero, the original Django. He has dozens of movies under his belt, and many westerns. Both of them standing right there and talking is my favorite moment in the movie.
The genius of the scene when Dr. Schulz was sitting uncomfortably while the harpist plays Fur Elise. Afte witnessing the terrors inside the plantation and the memories of the dogs tearing the black slave apart, he cannot stomach the idea of hearing one of Beethoven's beautiful piece being played inside the place. Which is why he lashed out the harpist to tell her to stop. Candie, noticing Dr. Schulz's outburts of contempt, decides to humiliate him further by asking for a handshake. Thereby forcing the good doctor to submit to the system of slavery which he fought diligently against by completing a deal of slave purchse.
The "Dentists tooth" is a secret homage to Doc Holiday. Before moving to the west and settling in Arizona, Doc Holiday (got his name) was a dentist in Georgia, near Savannah. He later became one of the fastest gambling gunfighters of the west.
You didn't think Inglourious could be topped. While Waltz was undeniably unreachable in Inglourious, this cast was glorious in this movie! Leo outdid himself, Waltz was insanely charming, Foxx just blew things out of the water. That Leo carried on with that dining room scene despite actually cutting his hand is just *chef's kiss*. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Christoph Waltz is one hell of an actor. He definitely deserved both of his Oscars. I think he was the first actor to win an Academy Award for a Tarantino movie.
He did cut his hand during the scene but after the cut they did attend to his cut and they decided to include that and the character Calvin to rub his blood on Broomhilda. With fake blood of course.
This is one of the best depictions off slavery in a movie. However instead of portraying slaves as victims in this movie we actually get to be our own hero. This movie will be shown to my kids EVERY black history month. Likely Quintens best film yet.
Yeah, I like that they had Schultz mess up things for everyone because of his pride. It puts the "white savior" trope on its head with Django having to look out for himself at that point.
I agree. Even in movies about slavery it’s never really from the point of view and perspective of the actual slaves. More like an objective telling of the story but somehow we don’t even get to be the real main characters even in those..
-23:25 This is where the term "Mandingo" comes from. "Mandingo fighting", or "Mandingos", were slaves used for fighting.... -24:19 This actor played the ORIGINAL character of Django, which is why he knows the D is silent....
I just realized Kerry Washington’s played Jamie Foxx’s wife in 2 movies(this and Ray), and has been terrorized by Sam Jackson in 2 movies (this and Lakewood Terrace)
As a soon to be 65 year old black man (9/11/59) who is a huge fan of your channel, I am really glad that I had this opportunity to enjoy this film with you. I was glad to see that the brutality depicted in this film touched you both in the ways that I had anticipated. From my first "interaction" with you guys, the vibe has always been very positive. Our tastes in films and their production run close, so I'm always happy that I watched with you. Peace and love to you and yours, always. ❤😊
Yes Leo famously really cut his hand by accident in the dinner table scene, but before he wiped his hand all over Kerry Washington's face, the scene was cut and his hand was cleaned up so that he wiped fake blood on her face. No studio would allow anyone to wipe real human blood in someone else's face in this day and age.
Good news, though - all of the horses in the film are fall horses. They've been trained to safely fall on command; you can actually see they throw themselves down a little _before_ they get "knocked over", because they're never actually falling.
More Americans need to watch this movie. There needs to be no ambiguity about how evil and disgusting slavery was. People think slavery was just simply owning people. Which is already terrible and disgusting enough. To own a human being? They don’t really understand the physical and psychological trauma of slavery up on the slave him or herself. You could be treated less than a dog or a cow or a horse. You were seen as barely human. A sub human, It was dehumanizing. and there really wasn’t much you could do about it, except escape to the North. Many tried and failed. And as you can see what the punishment was if you were caught. This is American slavery.
I knew as soon as I saw this... Nikki would be tense. I found this movie to be hard to watch but also a reminder of the harshness of people. Tarantino again hits our souls.
it makes the revenge plot all the more satisfying knowing that these exact types of horrors were really happening to enslaved people in the USA just 200 years ago. As you say it’s a real struggle to watch this kind of horrific treatment of people knowing it’s based in reality, but important for us to bear witness to and remember. And satisfying to see such a revenge plot. The fantasy of a person escaping the worst kind of slave owners and rescuing his family in such a cinematic larger than life way is like the ultimate stage for Tarantino’s style of filmmaking, and yeah for me this is his best film by far
@@grayscales1864indeed, people seem to forget about the actual atrocities of slavery, terrible and inhumane practices more than just whipping .I Wish people would remember them as much as the holocaust
Besides playing the Australian guy, Tarantino also plays the dude with the bag on his head that suggests not using the bags and leaving them for next time. The Italian guy who asks Django to spell his name is Franco Nero, who played Django in the 1966 movie. "Yes... I know" 😂. And the blonde girl who never shows her face is Zoë Bell, an incredible stunt double/actress who was supposed to be one of the final bosses in this movie. It would've been revealed that her face was all screwed up or burnt or something like that. They had to cut that out because it would've been too long. Great reaction and I can't wait for you guys to get to The Hateful 8!
It's been a long time since I've watched a reaction, particularly from you guys. I was one of your original Patrons. I still have the note that Nicky wrote thanking me for the support! I'm happy to see you two still rocking on!
@@mistyxmarlborowaltz actually has quite an extensive list of credits to his name, but that's mostly in central Europe and he only really broke big in Hollywood because of his work with Tarantino
The lady with her face covered with the red scarf is Zoe Bell, she did ALL Uma Thurman's stunts for the Kill Bill movies. Yes, that was her in the House of Blue Leaves fighting the Crazy 88. She's awesome.
Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) was married to Paula Schultz, who unfortunately passed away. Even worse, many years later she would be dug up by Budd AKA "Sidewinder", a member of the Deadly Viper Assassin Squad, who used the grave to bury alive one Beatrix Kiddo AKA Black Mamba.
I love how all the over the top violence suspends all laws of motion and mass with bullets, making people fly 100 ft. Just love how ott his films are. This and Holywood are my favourites.
@@SptmbrsVryOwn Other than the typo with "on" instead of "in" the sentence makes complete sense to me. "Don't forget, the grave Uma was buried in alive was Paula Shultz'; showing once again all his movies are connected." Easy. Maybe be nicer next time?
@@vashsunglasses Plus, their vitriolic tirade lacks a period at the end of the sentence following the one that would better read, “Punctuation and grammar count.”
@@SptmbrsVryOwnI did the same thing. I tried to read it numerous times before I saw the fixed comment with punctuation lol. It’s the English lover in me.
The thing about Tarantino movies they will have a great soundtrack and a lot of blood and violence. The entire skit of the can't see through the mask 😂 it hilarious
American slavery was much worse than any depictions seen in any movie or tv show so yeah even our wildest imaginings can’t comprehend the even more horrible reality of what happened.
My wife's father was captured by nazis during WW2 and was sentenced to 30 days in a hot box. Didn't kill him but he lost a dangerous amount of weight. And yes; he really did cut his hand and finished the scene.
Leo did cut his hand and the blood was real at the start but when he wiped it on Kerry's face it has been stiched up and they used fake blood to get the effect
Leo accidentally broke the glass and was picking pieces of glass out of his hand while he continued acting. It was so well performed Tarantino kept it in the movie. When he wiped the blood on Kerry Washington's face, that was fake blood at that point. When Miss Laura went flying, it was a tribute to how women used to die off screen. Old westerns wouldn't show a woman's death on screen. Seeing 'Django Unchained' persuaded me to research some history and I found out a lot of 19th century American facts. Some interesting, but mostly sad. - 19th century Germans in America were strongly against slavery and started many anti-slave movements across the country. - There were 4 races poorly treated. (1) Native Americans (2) Africans (3) Chinese (4) Irish. They had an average dollar value assigned to them. On average: - Africans were valued at $10 each. Average lifespan was 38 years for the men due to harsh working conditions. - Chinese were valued at $8 each. I didn't find their average lifespan, but the men were given more harsh work because of their 'lower values'. - Irish were valued at $4 each. Average lifespan was 19 years for the men due to extreme harsh working conditions. They were given the most life threatening harsh work due to their considered 'lowest value'. * Some of this history information came from Thomas Sowell. A brilliant man and a national treasure. IMO Everybody should make themselves familiar with his teachings.
What I like about Leos performance is what Samuel said to him while the shooting happend: Leo being a Person of culture had a Problem with the N-Word so Samuel said to him: 'Forget that shit man up we all know this is a movie.' And Leo stood up and became the most despicable Asshole of a long Time. Except for Fred Shit who mutilated my dear Countryman Christoph in the end scene of the Basterds... 👿👿👿
My horse-loving daughter (3) walked in right as Schultz blasted that horse, did an about-face that would put any military man to shame and marched silently right back to her room. Her brother and I were dying laughing for 5 minutes 😂😂😂
@@clevelandcbiyea I was like around 10. One of my favorite scenes was when they first show up to the club and the man outside is advertising the many types of p#$@% they offered lmao Btw, I did love the part you're talking about!! I had a huge crush on George and Quinton when I was younger and Selma is sooo beautiful!!
@@amandamosteller1371I saw it in the theater on a special Halloween showing a couple years after it came out. I was making out with my high school girlfriend when that part came up. We both got laughing and had to give up. On the plus side, that was the movie really got rolling. 😂
32:12 There are laughs, there is shock, there are cheers, and there are tears. This movie is a brilliant rollercoaster. 34:23 I swear, when Sam and Quentin were discussing this role, the name "Salacious Crumb" must have been mentioned. 🤣🤣🤣 53:53 Tarantino gave himself a glorious death in this one. 😂
Fun Fact - the European man who asks Django about his name is Franco Nero. He played the Django character in the original 1966 movie. You most likely would recognize him as the Hotel Manager of the Rome Continental in John Wick 2.
Quentin Tarantino does do cameos in all his movies, and that is due because he is an old movie buff. He loves the older movies, Alfred Hitchcock did this very same thing and all his movies, cameo walk-thrus. And sad to say in slavery days, some of the slaves and have kind slave masters, and these things actually happened. It’s a sad thing in our history, just an FYI and I love you too. Keep up the good work take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠
Sam Jackson with the trope reversal as Stephen is his best performance bar none. Stephen played a convincing Uncle Tom at first but the script flips when it is unveil that HE not Calvin who is the master of Candieland.
Fun fact all the disturbing parts of this movie were even worse historically, luckily we dont have to face that now. Love your reactions, i had fun with this movie, hope yall did too😂
Black Power meets Italowestern: incredibly good. 🤩 Facts: >> Tarantino wanted to make a movie “about America's terrible past, but like a spaghetti western, not an ‘important’ problem movie”. He succeeded with his typical mix of coolness, theatricality and grim humor. He bows to Italian directors such as Sergio Leone (“For a Fistful of Dollars”) and Sergio Corbucci (“Django”) - and gives new impetus to the traditionally taciturn genre with his characteristically sprawling dialog. It won the Oscar for screenplay and Christoph Waltz was also awarded his second supporting role Oscar.
When you said "what a shot!" I was thinking the same thing but about the "shot"(Camera Shot) of the blood spray on the cotton field. It's such a great photo that represents so much.
my dad (a black man) was born and raised in macon, Ga in the early 50's. He LOVED this movie especially when Jamie showed up in that blue outfit on that horse. One of our last conversations we were talking about this movie... i can hear him cackling now about it. He also enjoyed other parts of this movie a lot but we'll keep it at that lmao.
Everyone's acting was so good, but that sober scene with Leo was so intense it just blew me away. Sam cracked me up. I adored Christoph Waltz & of course Jamie was exceptional in this role, especially in the end where he's killing everyone lol.
@hk45c62 Tarantino loves to cast actors from old TV shows from his youth. Sheriff Bill Sharp was Don Stroud, who was in hundreds of movies and TV shows in the 70s and 80s. Sheriff Gus was Lee Horsley from the TV show Matt Houston. Michael Parks, from Then Came Bronson, who played the sheriff in Kill Bill, was one of the LeQuint Dickey trio.
Everything that happened to Broomhilde had me on the verge of tears. She doesn’t come off as a bad ass with her attitude, but what she’s been through-and her courage to attempt to run away, despite getting caught over and over-makes her one of the strongest characters in the film. When they pulled her out of the hot box, I was speechless. It’s so gut-wrenching and sickening to know enslaved people went through such things, and worse. Films like this should never stop being made. It’s not about glorifying the violence. We should be reminded these things happened, and what happens on screen pales in comparison to what real human beings went through. And I absolutely love the happy ending to Django and Broomhilde’s romance. RIP Dr. Schultz.
What doesn't make sense, though, is that nobody would know how his name is spelled unless they somehow saw his name written somewhere. They only know his name from the way they hear other people say it.
It just hit me when Django is riding the horse back to Candyland, he passes a bonfire. Every other time I watch the movie I wondered why the bonfire? And now listening to Steven saying we have to burn the bed the mattress, the pillows, and everything else after Django sleeps in it, that’s what’s burning in the bonfire
You’re an elite actor if you could have people hating you and terrified of you in one movie and absolutely loving you and crying for you in another movie
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel of all time. Has been since my teenage years. It wasn't until I saw this movie that I found out the author was Black/French.
I’m not a reader, but I love the movie version they did not long ago. I understand it added some stuff that wasn’t in the original book, but I love it.
@@TedwardsTube It's a long book, but man it's worth it. The movie is basically a skeleton version of the book. Amazing in its own right, but so much is left out that it's almost a different story altogether. If you hate reading that much, the audiobook is done really well.
Stephen (Samuel Jacksons) is a very interesting character btw, you may havent picked it up, but when he is first introduced, he fills out a check and signs with his master’s name - so he is in some way in control of the finances (what also means that he can write and do math, contradicting what Candie says about slaves not being able to do such things). Its only the first implication, that he is actually the one in control of Candyland and plays his master like a puppet.
I love Tarantino movie. This made me appreciate his storytelling even more. EVERYTHING he showed about the horrors of enslavement is accurate. (and he left out a lot). In the midst of all the action he included a love story. And the fact that Harriet Tubman and Ronald Reagan were alive at the same time indicates that slavery was not that long ago. We've come a long way, but we've still got some improvements to make. Great reaction.
@12:38 every time I see the scene I actually get almost like déjà vu and I feel like I’m actually there with my ancestors. And I am just filled with rage every time I see it. This scene hurts so much to me and I can’t even explain it. At the same time this is like one of my favorite movies ever. Shout out to the brother Eric Bishop. For you that don’t know that’s Jamie Foxx’s real name
14:40 I really love this exchange. So snappy and funny. And the doctor is such a pro, he waits for a full verbal confirmation before pulling the trigger.
If you haven't seen True Romance, I highly recommend adding it to this list. It was written by Tarantino and was actually the script that he sold in order to fund his debut film Reservoir Dogs. It may have been directed by someone else but it is very much a Tarantino movie, and it's amazing!
The Wild Bunch, first movie to have blood action like this. Great movie, great cast made in 1969. I was 15 when i saw it, i was on the edge of my seat. When it was over everyone gave it a standing ovation.

Leo outdid himself, Waltz was insanely charming, Foxx just blew things out of the water. That Leo carried on with that dining room scene despite actually cutting his hand is just *chef's kiss*. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Jamie Foxx legit gives me such CHILLS as Django. What a satisfying revenge plot for an awesome character
Inglorious Basterds is absolutely still better than this lol. Django is great, but Inglorious is better
Christoph Waltz is one hell of an actor. He definitely deserved both of his Oscars. I think he was the first actor to win an Academy Award for a Tarantino movie.
He did cut his hand during the scene but after the cut they did attend to his cut and they decided to include that and the character Calvin to rub his blood on Broomhilda.
With fake blood of course.
💯 both have stellar casts and plot, but this one is better overall.
This is one of the best depictions off slavery in a movie. However instead of portraying slaves as victims in this movie we actually get to be our own hero. This movie will be shown to my kids EVERY black history month. Likely Quintens best film yet.
Yeah, I like that they had Schultz mess up things for everyone because of his pride. It puts the "white savior" trope on its head with Django having to look out for himself at that point.
I agree. Even in movies about slavery it’s never really from the point of view and perspective of the actual slaves. More like an objective telling of the story but somehow we don’t even get to be the real main characters even in those..
The way the movie transitions to a love story without notice is masterful
-23:25 This is where the term "Mandingo" comes from. "Mandingo fighting", or "Mandingos", were slaves used for fighting....
-24:19 This actor played the ORIGINAL character of Django, which is why he knows the D is silent....
I just realized Kerry Washington’s played Jamie Foxx’s wife in 2 movies(this and Ray), and has been terrorized by Sam Jackson in 2 movies (this and Lakewood Terrace)
I know I realized this after watching this how many times 😂 but I love it. Kerry and Jamie were great together in both films.
The masked blond woman is Zoe Bell, Tarantino's favourite Kiwi stuntwoman (see Deathproof) who doubled for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.
Apparently she didn't wanted to be associated with the dog attack scene, she kept her mask on.
You also see her as the other stagecoach driver in The Hateful 8.
She was also in the Bruce Lee scene in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
I count six shots…….I count 2 guns 😂😂
I love the sassy backtalk. I LOOOOOVE IT
You missed a word😂

Don't forget "m-fker". 😂😂😂 he took his word outta his mouth 😂
As a soon to be 65 year old black man (9/11/59) who is a huge fan of your channel, I am really glad that I had this opportunity to enjoy this film with you. I was glad to see that the brutality depicted in this film touched you both in the ways that I had anticipated. From my first "interaction" with you guys, the vibe has always been very positive. Our tastes in films and their production run close, so I'm always happy that I watched with you. Peace and love to you and yours, always. ❤😊
Jackson's performance was outstanding as he absolutely showed who was the real power in Candieland.
Yes Leo famously really cut his hand by accident in the dinner table scene, but before he wiped his hand all over Kerry Washington's face, the scene was cut and his hand was cleaned up so that he wiped fake blood on her face. No studio would allow anyone to wipe real human blood in someone else's face in this day and age.
Also… canonically speaking, Django and Broomhilda are Shaft’s ancestors. Her last name is Von Shaft.

@ huh?
Me: Oh they're going to enjoy this one
Me remembering Nikki's love for horses: oh no
Good news, though - all of the horses in the film are fall horses. They've been trained to safely fall on command; you can actually see they throw themselves down a little _before_ they get "knocked over", because they're never actually falling.
i always forget about the horse at the very beginning, and I always scream :(
More Americans need to watch this movie. There needs to be no ambiguity about how evil and disgusting slavery was. People think slavery was just simply owning people. Which is already terrible and disgusting enough. To own a human being? They don’t really understand the physical and psychological trauma of slavery up on the slave him or herself. You could be treated less than a dog or a cow or a horse. You were seen as barely human. A sub human, It was dehumanizing. and there really wasn’t much you could do about it, except escape to the North. Many tried and failed. And as you can see what the punishment was if you were caught. This is American slavery.
I knew as soon as I saw this... Nikki would be tense. I found this movie to be hard to watch but also a reminder of the harshness of people. Tarantino again hits our souls.
@@leighwhite6700 who's Nikki 👀
it makes the revenge plot all the more satisfying knowing that these exact types of horrors were really happening to enslaved people in the USA just 200 years ago. As you say it’s a real struggle to watch this kind of horrific treatment of people knowing it’s based in reality, but important for us to bear witness to and remember. And satisfying to see such a revenge plot. The fantasy of a person escaping the worst kind of slave owners and rescuing his family in such a cinematic larger than life way is like the ultimate stage for Tarantino’s style of filmmaking, and yeah for me this is his best film by far
@@grayscales1864indeed, people seem to forget about the actual atrocities of slavery, terrible and inhumane practices more than just whipping .I Wish people would remember them as much as the holocaust
Besides playing the Australian guy, Tarantino also plays the dude with the bag on his head that suggests not using the bags and leaving them for next time.
The Italian guy who asks Django to spell his name is Franco Nero, who played Django in the 1966 movie. "Yes... I know" 😂.
And the blonde girl who never shows her face is Zoë Bell, an incredible stunt double/actress who was supposed to be one of the final bosses in this movie. It would've been revealed that her face was all screwed up or burnt or something like that. They had to cut that out because it would've been too long.
Great reaction and I can't wait for you guys to get to The Hateful 8!
It's been a long time since I've watched a reaction, particularly from you guys. I was one of your original Patrons. I still have the note that Nicky wrote thanking me for the support! I'm happy to see you two still rocking on!
Leo acted his a** off!!! He had me scared 😂 He's so good!
Willard's wife's shitty sewing saved his life that night.
@@clevelandcbi I like to think Willard and his wife stopped being racist and even helped free slaves out of sheer spite over the bag complaints.
@@pyrosplicer85 I like that.
😂😂😂😂 I’m on board for that! This is now my head canon.
I love Candie's face when Schultz informs him that the writer of his favorite book is black.
You should do the hateful 8 next, it's my favorite Tarantino movie!
Leonardo Dicaprio is in a class all his own. Such an amazing actor 👌🏼💯🩵
Waltz is absolutely on par with Leo, he just doesn’t have nearly as many films.
@@mistyxmarlboroand the guy that won best actor that year isn’t so bad himself (a certain Daniel Day-Lewis).
@@mistyxmarlborowaltz actually has quite an extensive list of credits to his name, but that's mostly in central Europe and he only really broke big in Hollywood because of his work with Tarantino
"You mean you WANT to dress that way?" One of my favorite lines in the whole movie
The scene about the white sheets always cracks me up 😂
The lady with her face covered with the red scarf is Zoe Bell, she did ALL Uma Thurman's stunts for the Kill Bill movies. Yes, that was her in the House of Blue Leaves fighting the Crazy 88. She's awesome.
when first saw the movie I half wondered if she was actually "Miss Laura"
Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) was married to Paula Schultz, who unfortunately passed away. Even worse, many years later she would be dug up by Budd AKA "Sidewinder", a member of the Deadly Viper Assassin Squad, who used the grave to bury alive one Beatrix Kiddo AKA Black Mamba.
My understanding was always that they didn't so much dig Paula up as place Beatrix's coffin atop hers.
@@jordanwindham3804 Her coffin is off to the side in the scene.
King died in 1859, the death date on Paula's headstone is 1898. King has no reference to a wife at any time, this theory is tenuous at best.
I was so into this movie but when I got to the "bye, miss Laura" I had to pause it because I was laughing so much
This is another masterpiece directed by Tarantino.
Everyone nailed their character.
No matter how disturbing you think it is, just remember its accurate
Django will always be one of my favourite films with Jamie Foxx - tasm ‘ s electro will always be number 1 to me
Same!
@@believeume122he’s really good in The Soloist, Jarhead, Ali, Dreamgirls and Collateral
Any Given Sunday. Hands down
I love how all the over the top violence suspends all laws of motion and mass with bullets, making people fly 100 ft. Just love how ott his films are. This and Holywood are my favourites.
"Now get the Marshall" !! What a plot it was...
Don't forget the grave Uma was buried on alive was Paula Shultz showing once again all his movies are connected
What? Punctuation and grammar counts. I can’t mentally fix your sentence
@@SptmbrsVryOwn Other than the typo with "on" instead of "in" the sentence makes complete sense to me. "Don't forget, the grave Uma was buried in alive was Paula Shultz'; showing once again all his movies are connected." Easy. Maybe be nicer next time?
@@vashsunglasses Plus, their vitriolic tirade lacks a period at the end of the sentence following the one that would better read, “Punctuation and grammar count.”
@@SptmbrsVryOwnI did the same thing. I tried to read it numerous times before I saw the fixed comment with punctuation lol. It’s the English lover in me.
40:49 yes he actually cut his hand with the glass,
@@mawortz she already knew
This is my Quentin Tarantino movie.
Same here
One of the 3 idiots with tarantino was John jarrett, who played mick Taylor, the killer in the Wolf Creek horror series & movies.
The thing about Tarantino movies they will have a great soundtrack and a lot of blood and violence. The entire skit of the can't see through the mask 😂 it hilarious
American slavery was much worse than any depictions seen in any movie or tv show so yeah even our wildest imaginings can’t comprehend the even more horrible reality of what happened.
My wife's father was captured by nazis during WW2 and was sentenced to 30 days in a hot box. Didn't kill him but he lost a dangerous amount of weight. And yes; he really did cut his hand and finished the scene.
Did he ride the rollercoasters?
Walton Goggins is such an underrated actor. He can pull off any character.
He’s awesome
Leo did cut his hand and the blood was real at the start but when he wiped it on Kerry's face it has been stiched up and they used fake blood to get the effect
Leo accidentally broke the glass and was picking pieces of glass out of his hand while he continued acting. It was so well performed Tarantino kept it in the movie. When he wiped the blood on Kerry Washington's face, that was fake blood at that point.
When Miss Laura went flying, it was a tribute to how women used to die off screen. Old westerns wouldn't show a woman's death on screen.
Seeing 'Django Unchained' persuaded me to research some history and I found out a lot of 19th century American facts. Some interesting, but mostly sad.
- 19th century Germans in America were strongly against slavery and started many anti-slave movements across the country.
- There were 4 races poorly treated. (1) Native Americans (2) Africans (3) Chinese (4) Irish. They had an average dollar value assigned to them. On average:
- Africans were valued at $10 each. Average lifespan was 38 years for the men due to harsh working conditions.
- Chinese were valued at $8 each. I didn't find their average lifespan, but the men were given more harsh work because of their 'lower values'.
- Irish were valued at $4 each. Average lifespan was 19 years for the men due to extreme harsh working conditions. They were given the most life threatening harsh work due to their considered 'lowest value'.
* Some of this history information came from Thomas Sowell. A brilliant man and a national treasure. IMO Everybody should make themselves familiar with his teachings.
What I like about Leos performance is what Samuel said to him while the shooting happend: Leo being a Person of culture had a Problem with the N-Word so Samuel said to him: 'Forget that shit man up we all know this is a movie.' And Leo stood up and became the most despicable Asshole of a long Time. Except for Fred Shit who mutilated my dear Countryman Christoph in the end scene of the Basterds... 👿👿👿
My horse-loving daughter (3) walked in right as Schultz blasted that horse, did an about-face that would put any military man to shame and marched silently right back to her room. Her brother and I were dying laughing for 5 minutes 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's hilarious! I've got a summer cold and you've brightened up my day with that! Thanks!

From Dusk Til Dawn is another great QT film. I used to waltch it all the time as a pre-teen 😂 it stars geroge clooney and Quinton himself
From dusk til Dawn is directed by Robert Rodriguez while Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay.
Great movie.
@parrothd007 oh ok, I wondered why it's never been on his "list" of movies. It does sorta play out like one he's directed tho
Pre-teen? I bet I know a certain scene you paid very close attention to. 😍
@@clevelandcbiyea I was like around 10. One of my favorite scenes was when they first show up to the club and the man outside is advertising the many types of p#$@% they offered lmao
Btw, I did love the part you're talking about!! I had a huge crush on George and Quinton when I was younger and Selma is sooo beautiful!!
@@amandamosteller1371I saw it in the theater on a special Halloween showing a couple years after it came out. I was making out with my high school girlfriend when that part came up. We both got laughing and had to give up. On the plus side, that was the movie really got rolling. 😂
The part I always laughed out loud at was everytime Christopher Waltz would get his bounties then be like, "Everybody calm down!"
32:12 There are laughs, there is shock, there are cheers, and there are tears. This movie is a brilliant rollercoaster.
34:23 I swear, when Sam and Quentin were discussing this role, the name "Salacious Crumb" must have been mentioned. 🤣🤣🤣
53:53 Tarantino gave himself a glorious death in this one. 😂
Fun Fact - the European man who asks Django about his name is Franco Nero. He played the Django character in the original 1966 movie. You most likely would recognize him as the Hotel Manager of the Rome Continental in John Wick 2.
Quentin Tarantino does do cameos in all his movies, and that is due because he is an old movie buff. He loves the older movies, Alfred Hitchcock did this very same thing and all his movies, cameo walk-thrus. And sad to say in slavery days, some of the slaves and have kind slave masters, and these things actually happened. It’s a sad thing in our history, just an FYI and I love you too. Keep up the good work take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠
Sam Jackson with the trope reversal as Stephen is his best performance bar none. Stephen played a convincing Uncle Tom at first but the script flips when it is unveil that HE not Calvin who is the master of Candieland.
Yes I love how his accent and demeanor change when he is alone with Calvin
The man who asks Django to spell his name is the original main character off the 1966 movie Django, Franco Nero.
Fun fact all the disturbing parts of this movie were even worse historically, luckily we dont have to face that now. Love your reactions, i had fun with this movie, hope yall did too😂
Black Power meets Italowestern: incredibly good. 🤩
Facts:
>> Tarantino wanted to make a movie “about America's terrible past, but like a spaghetti western, not an ‘important’ problem movie”.
He succeeded with his typical mix of coolness, theatricality and grim humor.
He bows to Italian directors such as Sergio Leone (“For a Fistful of Dollars”) and Sergio Corbucci (“Django”) - and gives new impetus to the traditionally taciturn genre with his characteristically sprawling dialog. It won the Oscar for screenplay and Christoph Waltz was also awarded his second supporting role Oscar.
DiCaprio really delivered an incredible performance here! Jackson also really encouraged him not to hold back and to give it his all!
Sure feels like he gave his all. He was excellent.
Oh you're in for a treat. This was my 2nd film in theaters when I just came to America
When you said "what a shot!" I was thinking the same thing but about the "shot"(Camera Shot) of the blood spray on the cotton field. It's such a great photo that represents so much.
Sam Jacksons acting here is hilarious and DiCaprio is also awesome. Both should have won the acedmy award vor this.
my dad (a black man) was born and raised in macon, Ga in the early 50's. He LOVED this movie especially when Jamie showed up in that blue outfit on that horse. One of our last conversations we were talking about this movie... i can hear him cackling now about it. He also enjoyed other parts of this movie a lot but we'll keep it at that lmao.
I'm always surprised when i watch reaction videos to Django and white people never heard of mandingo fighting.
Everyone's acting was so good, but that sober scene with Leo was so intense it just blew me away. Sam cracked me up. I adored Christoph Waltz & of course Jamie was exceptional in this role, especially in the end where he's killing everyone lol.
Tom Wopat, who played Luke Duke on the original Dukes of Hazzard TV show, played the Town Marshall
@hk45c62 Tarantino loves to cast actors from old TV shows from his youth. Sheriff Bill Sharp was Don Stroud, who was in hundreds of movies and TV shows in the 70s and 80s. Sheriff Gus was Lee Horsley from the TV show Matt Houston. Michael Parks, from Then Came Bronson, who played the sheriff in Kill Bill, was one of the LeQuint Dickey trio.
Yes he did look familiar!
The password is............JUICY!!!
Shout out to all the cast in this movie, they absolutely nailed, every single one of them!
Oh snap, a reaction to Django....AND only 30 mins ago....less gooooo
Everything that happened to Broomhilde had me on the verge of tears. She doesn’t come off as a bad ass with her attitude, but what she’s been through-and her courage to attempt to run away, despite getting caught over and over-makes her one of the strongest characters in the film. When they pulled her out of the hot box, I was speechless. It’s so gut-wrenching and sickening to know enslaved people went through such things, and worse. Films like this should never stop being made. It’s not about glorifying the violence. We should be reminded these things happened, and what happens on screen pales in comparison to what real human beings went through. And I absolutely love the happy ending to Django and Broomhilde’s romance. RIP Dr. Schultz.

"The D is silent, hillbilly" is my favorite line in this movie. Cracks me up every time.
What doesn't make sense, though, is that nobody would know how his name is spelled unless they somehow saw his name written somewhere. They only know his name from the way they hear other people say it.
It just hit me when Django is riding the horse back to Candyland, he passes a bonfire. Every other time I watch the movie I wondered why the bonfire? And now listening to Steven saying we have to burn the bed the mattress, the pillows, and everything else after Django sleeps in it, that’s what’s burning in the bonfire
You’re an elite actor if you could have people hating you and terrified of you in one movie and absolutely loving you and crying for you in another movie
Nikki really felt the pain of this saga. She renewed my faith in humanity. It do go sideways at times.😮❤❤❤
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel of all time. Has been since my teenage years. It wasn't until I saw this movie that I found out the author was Black/French.
I’m not a reader, but I love the movie version they did not long ago. I understand it added some stuff that wasn’t in the original book, but I love it.
@@TedwardsTube It's a long book, but man it's worth it. The movie is basically a skeleton version of the book. Amazing in its own right, but so much is left out that it's almost a different story altogether.
If you hate reading that much, the audiobook is done really well.
Stephen (Samuel Jacksons) is a very interesting character btw, you may havent picked it up, but when he is first introduced, he fills out a check and signs with his master’s name - so he is in some way in control of the finances (what also means that he can write and do math, contradicting what Candie says about slaves not being able to do such things). Its only the first implication, that he is actually the one in control of Candyland and plays his master like a puppet.
❤ True Romance...next please ..you both would love it!
Jackie Brown is still my favorite. Django is not what I expected but I don’t make it a habit of rewatching slave era stuff.
*"Hang on, Im just fuquin with my eye holes."*
I love Tarantino movie. This made me appreciate his storytelling even more. EVERYTHING he showed about the horrors of enslavement is accurate. (and he left out a lot). In the midst of all the action he included a love story. And the fact that Harriet Tubman and Ronald Reagan were alive at the same time indicates that slavery was not that long ago. We've come a long way, but we've still got some improvements to make. Great reaction.
Pretending to be offended lol
47:59 "That's what she said" 😂😂😂
The cancelled Django/Zorro crossover would’ve fed families
@12:38 every time I see the scene I actually get almost like déjà vu and I feel like I’m actually there with my ancestors. And I am just filled with rage every time I see it. This scene hurts so much to me and I can’t even explain it.
At the same time this is like one of my favorite movies ever. Shout out to the brother Eric Bishop. For you that don’t know that’s Jamie Foxx’s real name
14:40 I really love this exchange. So snappy and funny. And the doctor is such a pro, he waits for a full verbal confirmation before pulling the trigger.
New Django meeting old Django ... NOW THAT`S ICONIC !
If you haven't seen True Romance, I highly recommend adding it to this list. It was written by Tarantino and was actually the script that he sold in order to fund his debut film Reservoir Dogs. It may have been directed by someone else but it is very much a Tarantino movie, and it's amazing!
The Wild Bunch, first movie to have blood action like this. Great movie, great cast made in 1969. I was 15 when i saw it, i was on the edge of my seat. When it was over everyone gave it a standing ovation.
My favorite movie of all time for so many reasons, the cast, the story, the action, the comedy. i watch it again and again
