Samuel L Jackson described his character as the most hateful black man in cinematic history, and it's hard to argue - he sure played the hell out of him, and went toe to toe with Leo for awfulness.
He should have won the Oscar. Christoph Waltz was fine but Samuel Jackson could be scary, funny, sucking up, etc - just depending on whom he's talking to he changes his demeanor. It's an amazing performance.
Its kind if the same thing in the US regardless of color. A melanin man calling anothe melanin or any man boy, is usually derogatory. But when its our friend, relative, son, we say "my boy". In the hood, in rap, it is always "my boy"
The guy who was at the Mandingo fight opposite Leo and asks Django his name is the actor Franco Nero, who played the original Django in Sergio Corbucci's 1966 spaghetti western "Django" Him knowing the "D is silent" is a nice little Easter egg to that
I've heard that an in-law of mine is a relative of his. She was a math teacher that, to this day, still strikes fear in her former students... Must be a trait of the Holidays...
Tarantino has definitely embraced the concept of revisionist history, taking dark subject matter and subverting it through a lens of a new type of satire, almost a, "This was terrible, so let's do a what if we could go back and change it."
San Jackson was also in Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill (pianist), Hateful Eight, narrator in Inglorious Basterds.... umm I'm sure I'm missing one or two, but yes, Tarantino and he have collaborated A LOT.
Your commentary/thought process/real opinon/dialogue at 54:10 was applicable to not only this movie but to life in general and i appreciate you for saying this. I didnt know you had a movie reaction channel. i found you through Britt Reacts (cousin?) and I love your music reactions and just found your movie channel less than an hour ago. Much love Mr. LBoyd. You spread so much positivity and love and I hope "you have the day you deserve" (I think it will be a great one)
Yes, Leo did indeed cut his hand during that scene. And he never skipped a beat while filming. That look of disgust and terror on Kerry Washington's face was real.
No. He kept acting during that take, but he didnt rub his real blood on her face. They treated his wound then gave prop blood for the scene where he rubs on her
Man, I dont know if you realize just how damn funny you really are. Your reaction when Django showed up in his new threads had me DEAD laughing. Love the personality, the intellectual and educated views on things, and love the humor. Another great reaction as always. Keep up the great work brother. 🤘
@@cm9241 Friend, some of your insecurity and arrogance has come unstowed. Feel free to rant and rave, ignorance like yours is quite entertaining. Have a lovely day. 🤣✌️
Well filmed, written and acted. Often at times unbearably painful but in contrast makes the character of Dr. Schultz all the more endearing and lovely.
Robert Richardson shoots for Tarantino (since Kill Bill), and he's a master. That bloom is kind of a signature, just tagging some highlight several stops overexposed to get the glow.
The blue outfit that Django wears at Big Daddy's plantation, was inspired by the Thomas Gainsborough painting, The Blue Boy. Definitely sharp, but close to a century older than the time this story takes place. Django is taking retro to another level.
BASTERDS was a 'fantasy' re-writing the end of WW2, while this is QT's 'fantasy' re-writing of the last 'days' of slavery. HOLLYWOOD is... well, it's my favourite and I don't wanna spoil it if you haven't seen it, but let's just say it's the end of another era.
There are several old towns still all over Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona. The "Old town" of Tombstone is still maintained today as a tourist attraction/occasional movie set, and is found southeast of Tucson. To this day, you can walk into the Crystal palace, swing open the doors and go in and have a beer,.....or soda, water,.....
When speaking about “not uprising” somethings needs to be mentioned. Revolts were happening from the ships, to the islands, and continued to the US plantations. The survival rate was very low, extremely hunted, made an example of, and in the states the police force was born from such Slave Hunting. The effects of a successful revolt can still be seen today. Haiti since its successful revolt had not been recognized by the international community, weaponized, and left to ruin itself while the eastern side of the mountains the Dominican Republic has flourished and attracts tourists. Even us as a community have adopted and adapted to Haitian stereotypes and discrimination not knowing the true implanted roots.
It also needs pointing out that the European powers generally didn't just show up with ships and guns, scaring African tribal people onto the boats as slaves. Some kidnappings did happen but it was not efficient or viable, in most cases, Europeans traded guns and other goods for the slaves, from already well established slave trades within the west African kingdoms. Who then used the aforementioned guns to wage more wars to capture more slaves, to then sell back to the Europeans.
This movie was shot on 35mm film. The reason the separation is so small and the bokeh isn't as extreme as you can see is that aperture in the lens was smaller which reduces the bokeh and increases the depth of field.
I try not to "typecast" actors, especially as new to the field as Waltz was, at this point. However, he was so convincing as Hans Landa, that I admit I needed a minute to adjust in the early running the first time I saw this, and accept him as a good guy.
my sir not only are you a reaction channel but also an educational one. I have to compliment you on your vast knowledge and your intellectual interpretation of situations and art. So glad i finally was able to hear your take on epic movie.
18:40 That house with the Spanish Moss is in Louisana Bennett Manor form The Evergreen Plantation between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The Slave Quarters you see are still standing in the film too are still standing 22 of them.
He wanted blue clothing because blue is was the rarest pigment of that time. Still is more rare in nature than many other colors. A side from the sky obviously, but you can't make pigments from the sky.
No, Foxx himself did research and found out that slaves were not allowed to wear bright colorful colors, they were not to stand out. So he went into wardrobe and found the brightest costume he could find.
10:19 Lone Ranger? Reference: High ho silver? It was a cartoon, a tv show, and a movie. 25:58 custom saddles were essentially like rims on a car- - obviously they have carriages at the time and different ones would be different prices - but rich people would often have different horses for different occasions (carriage horses, riding horses, show horses, breeding horses, etc) - and if you had a really prized horse or beloved horse you may spend extra money on the saddle/bridle - often times the saddles would be specific for the rider and horse, with slight customization like leather work patterns or stitching eastern or western styles etc … - but the bridles would be fitted to the horse and could even be stitched differently for each horse some of them having the name of the horse stitched into the leather (kind of like how a dog collar could have a dogs name the bridle that goes around the face/chest of a horse has the horses name) - now this piece the bridle didn’t need to be specific per horse it could honestly be made of rope or just a bridle for multiple horses, so having it done was seen as luxury while also caring deeply for the animal to have it customized. - carriage horses that lived longer and were out in public would for rich people sometimes have this detail so that the horse its belongings and its stall/waiting area are all together and you know nothing was swapped out - and for the public to know you had the money to ensure it wasn’t tampered with and your horses weren’t just well taken care of but deeply cared for by the owner who would spend extra money on them individually. Also to look fancy and cool. Like ‘this is Chester you know it’s Chester because his name is across his nose/forehead isn’t Chester a good healthy horse pulling this expensive carriage into town/your estate.’ *pat pat which could lead to people just liking your public horses, thinking your rich, or business with someone wanting specifically Chester to breed another horse for their stables etc
Boyd mate, been watching you a while and your reaction to this was fantastic. I hate that you 'have' to censor yourself to the degree you do but you seem to work around it brilliantly. Truly enjoyed your take on this admittedly over the top, but brilliant film. Bravo.
The way I would describe it is, Tarantino seems to make movies where he revised a part of history the way he wishes it could have gone: 1. In Inglorious Basterds he has hitler killed by Jews. 2. In Django he has slave masters killed by a freed slave. 3. Kill bill, he shows women exert power over a powerful man. 4. In pulp fiction, Bruce Willis and Marcus brutally kill Zed, a predator and violent pervert. 5. In one upon a time in Hollywood, a fictional stuntman and his pitbull kill the Manson family cult.
The whole idea of someone doing a "slave fantasy" is pretty awesome . Don't know about anybody else, but I'm pretty tired of all historicals aimed at a black audience being trauma porn. I don't blame Tarantino for being able to do it because we all know "liberal Hollywood" as conservatives are so fond of calling it would never have given a black director the same budget to make this film even if the script was the exact same.
I saw the whole Brunhilde and Siegfried speech as a callback to Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds. He's basically telling the story that Wagner would adapt into The Ring Cycle and Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer.
My son bought me this movie for Father’s Day when he was 10. he begged the Walmart lady to sell it to him so he can give it to me. Cuz he knows I love good movies
The story telling with dog part is powerful. Dr. Schultz is already uncomfortable and wants Django to tone it down, and immediately he is shown that he is the one that needs to step up the evil in his game. Django knows exactly who he needs to be to infiltrate this place, Dr. Schultz does not.
57:01 Yep. That's biblical slavery. That's why the guy was carrying the bible with such fervor. It says in exodus 21 that you can beat your slaves as long as they get up after a day or two. He had God on his side, as far as he was concerned this was justice. That's why people hate the bible. There's 0 justification for it. It doesn't matter what rationalization you can come up with, the bible says those words as seriously as it says "thou shalt not kill".
Luigi(the Italian man who is the other "mandingo owner", is played by Franco Nero, who played in the original spaghetti western, 1966 Django movie, as Django.
Will Smith was originally supposed to play Django… but he disagreed with Tarantino about the story. Smith didn’t think that it should be a vengeance story
For a while I thought you were watching these movies beforehand and that's how you reacted so quickly and didn't miss anything but I've realized it's because you have the captions on. Sometimes the captions come up before the lines are read, and that's how he's able to not miss anything.
another great one, sir.. thanks.. happy to see you producing... and i agree with your commentary on the Atlantic slavery.. and would agree with all the other worldwide slavery commentary, if there was enough written or told.. all bad.. but it's something special to hear your words
When Leo slammed his hand down and cut it that wasn’t in the script he actually cut himself and just kept on acting like it was normal how it was meant to be.
Quinton Tarantino is from Knoxville, Samuel l jackson is from Chattanooga the part in pulp fiction was writen for samuel l jackson and Samuel l jackson read twice for it just make sure he got the role, Jules hair style was all samuel l jackson idea
I love watching your reviews I watch them with my mother and when you go off on tangents about the littlest things that drives her crazy and it makes me laugh so hard😂😂😂
Stephen was ultimately the real villain of the movie, showing that evil exists in people regardless of their station in life. While technically a slave, Stephen was a power-hungry tyrant who was perfectly willing to play along with the system of slavery that the White Man established, so long as he was able to exercise his own power over other people within that system. Samuel L Jackson described him as “the free-est slave that ever lived,” because he was the de facto master due to Kalvin Candy’s idiocy and tendency to travel often. A good way to think of their relationship is to think of Kalvin as the Emperor from Star Wars, and Stephen is his Darth Vader, only Darth Vader in this case is the one who’s really in charge because the Emperor is too incompetent to run things, but Vader lets him think he does. That’s Stephen and Kalvin.
Christoph waltz?.. such an amazing actor...plays the ultimate Nazi scumbag in Inglorious bastards and the ultimate freedom fighter in Django.... great movie...🔥🔥🔥
19:02 well i could be wrong but the Bible specifically talks about "Whipping your Slave"... Women weren't shot on screen Tarantino stuck to that. That's y she was pulled out of frame
I would LOVE to see you react to “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” - one of Tarantino’s newest. Leo makes another appearance, along with Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell, and many more 🤓🤞💃
I tend to think the slaves didn't rebel for a much simpler reason: even if they killed all the slave owners in Candyland (or wherever else), everyone in the surrounding area would've banded together, tracked them down, killed them, and tortured them extremely harshly first, most likely, to make an example out of them. It's the same reason why the slaves in Ancient Rome were very reluctant to rebel and rarely ever did.
Besides Shultz telling the men freed in Texas to head north instead of south to Mexico to remain free, the most unrealistic thing in this movie is a black man, armed, riding a horse through Mississippi.
Maybe my favourite thing about the "Hood Discussion" is that it feels almost like a "waste of time", but also Tarantino is fickle down to the frame in his movies so you KNOW he wanted us very badly to watch this ridiculous scene 😂❤
The first town "Daughtrey, Texas" is not an actual town but it is real. It is filmed at Melody Ranch Studio in Newhall, CA near Santa Clarita. It has been a big western filming location since 1915 along with a lot of other studio, stages and prop stuff they have a whole town on location. It got caught up in the fire of '62 but the current owners rebuilt it from photos and film in the 90s. Some other movies filmed there are Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Last Stand with Johnny Knoxville and Arnold Schwarzenegger when he returned to acting.
A lot of the music is from previous spaghetti westerns, especially of the 60s to 80s. As many people have probably pointed out already, the guy asking if Django knows how to spell his name is the Italian actor who played the character of Django from some of those spaghetti westerns.
As much as this film depicts the disgusting history of the past, I'm afraid that it is just a sliver of the true inhumanity of what happened in reality. Tarentino was the bravest film maker ever to take on these topics, and we are better for it.
54:59 they didn't have the wheel until Europeans Just like native Americans Proving you need a certain level of intelligence to figure out civilization This completely explains the world and the layout of the world This explains why third world nations are the way they are There is no invisible hand of racism holding anybody back, people are just succeeding to the level of their capabilities. The reason you can't tell the difference between a village and sub-Saharan Africa in a village in Haiti is because the inhabitants of both places are limited by their IQ which is the same because Haiti was the first island to throw off the shackles of slavery and they killed everyone white and everyone mixed race So they are genetically almost identical to sub-Saharan Africa So when you have a 68 IQ median for your society you get the same results around the world
I was gonna say it mirrors blazing saddles in how it's greatest contest to racism is it's just fucking dumb, you'd have to be comedically moronic to honestly partake
People been memeing that last scene where she gets shot and flies back since this movie came out. Apperntly legend has it at the same time she got shot a ghost grabbed her
My favourite part of this movie is when Franco Nero does his cameo. The theme song and title are from a very violent spaghetti western he played the lead in. It had quite a few spin-offs/sequels.
Texas has mountains ! :D El Capitan is in Texas for example which is a well known peak amongst "outdoor people" . I believe the tallest peak is Guadalupe Peak at 8700 ft or so. A LOT of these are singular peaks however. Not much in the realm of mountain ranges per se
Samuel L Jackson described his character as the most hateful black man in cinematic history, and it's hard to argue - he sure played the hell out of him, and went toe to toe with Leo for awfulness.
He was basically a live action Uncle Ruckus so I won't argue it at all 😂
@ralyksreborn489 except Ruckus is stupid and Sam's character is the smartest character in the film by far.
Honestly, should have won all the awards. Imagine how hard it would have been for him to play that role.
Leo was epic in his role also.
His character was the Power Behind the Throne
He should have won the Oscar. Christoph Waltz was fine but Samuel Jackson could be scary, funny, sucking up, etc - just depending on whom he's talking to he changes his demeanor. It's an amazing performance.
Miss Lara was yeeted off screen when Django shot her as an ode to old westerns, where traditionally the death of a woman was never shown on screen.
If only it fit the other action moments in this movie and looked as good as if Laura got shot on screen.
Turns the film into a comic book.
i always wondered about that. i figured it was just funny
i honestly just thought it was because the force of the shot.
8:52 - Waltz says, "sit down _my boy,"_ meaning "son." There's a world of difference, as the second term equates Django with himself.
Americans can't hear certain words, they're really sensitive.
coz in german "setz dich hin, mein junge" (sit down my boy) has an endearing meaning, its something a fatherly friend would say
Its kind if the same thing in the US regardless of color. A melanin man calling anothe melanin or any man boy, is usually derogatory. But when its our friend, relative, son, we say "my boy". In the hood, in rap, it is always "my boy"
The guy who was at the Mandingo fight opposite Leo and asks Django his name is the actor Franco Nero, who played the original Django in Sergio Corbucci's 1966 spaghetti western "Django" Him knowing the "D is silent" is a nice little Easter egg to that
There was a famous Dentist from Georgia who became a high profile killer. His name was Doc Holiday.
Doc holiday was on a different side than the good Dr here. His first kill was a slave.
I've heard that an in-law of mine is a relative of his. She was a math teacher that, to this day, still strikes fear in her former students... Must be a trait of the Holidays...
I like how the dentist tells django not to get carried away with his retribution and he's the one that takes it there
Tarantino has definitely embraced the concept of revisionist history, taking dark subject matter and subverting it through a lens of a new type of satire, almost a, "This was terrible, so let's do a what if we could go back and change it."
He always gives justice to those who have been denied it. A beautiful touch
He specializes in stylized cathartic revenge fantasies.
San Jackson was also in Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill (pianist), Hateful Eight, narrator in Inglorious Basterds.... umm I'm sure I'm missing one or two, but yes, Tarantino and he have collaborated A LOT.

10:00 The Lone Ranger. Its sad that, as a white man from Texas, I never knew that the Lone Ranger was based in part on Bass Reeves.
A lot of us didn't. Although a lot of us were raised on the stories of the old west, Bass Reeves was not one of the stories we were ever told.
I can’t wait for you to finish the Tarantinoverse! “The Hateful 8” is like a cross between “Django Unchained” and “Reservoir Dogs”

10:19 Lone Ranger? Reference: High ho silver? It was a cartoon, a tv show, and a movie.
25:58 custom saddles were essentially like rims on a car-
- obviously they have carriages at the time and different ones would be different prices
- but rich people would often have different horses for different occasions (carriage horses, riding horses, show horses, breeding horses, etc)
- and if you had a really prized horse or beloved horse you may spend extra money on the saddle/bridle
- often times the saddles would be specific for the rider and horse, with slight customization like leather work patterns or stitching eastern or western styles etc …
- but the bridles would be fitted to the horse and could even be stitched differently for each horse some of them having the name of the horse stitched into the leather
(kind of like how a dog collar could have a dogs name the bridle that goes around the face/chest of a horse has the horses name)
- now this piece the bridle didn’t need to be specific per horse it could honestly be made of rope or just a bridle for multiple horses, so having it done was seen as luxury while also caring deeply for the animal to have it customized.
- carriage horses that lived longer and were out in public would for rich people sometimes have this detail so that the horse its belongings and its stall/waiting area are all together and you know nothing was swapped out
- and for the public to know you had the money to ensure it wasn’t tampered with and your horses weren’t just well taken care of but deeply cared for by the owner who would spend extra money on them individually.

8:33 He said "!my boy" which is like "my son", its not the negative way you're thinking about
Me and my brother actually talked about the "my boy" part, and he agreed. The "my" changes the tone.
Its a word you hear everyday in rap songs and in arguments. Its not that shocking
The story of Django parallels the Norse mythological story of the female deity, Brunhilde.
.... Depending on the version.....
This is the happy version of the story.
I saw the whole Brunhilde and Siegfried speech as a callback to Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds. He's basically telling the story that Wagner would adapt into The Ring Cycle and Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer.
A callback to a character that wasn't made yet? Also brunhilde and siegfried is an old German legend

For a while I thought you were watching these movies beforehand and that's how you reacted so quickly and didn't miss anything but I've realized it's because you have the captions on. Sometimes the captions come up before the lines are read, and that's how he's able to not miss anything.
You're gonna love THE HATEFUL EIGHT... breathtaking mountains scenes in high def... super expensive film🔥🔥🔥
33:08 Legend has it, Leo was so upset about the way he had to act that he personally apologized to each cast member.
another great one, sir.. thanks.. happy to see you producing... and i agree with your commentary on the Atlantic slavery.. and would agree with all the other worldwide slavery commentary, if there was enough written or told.. all bad.. but it's something special to hear your words
Shot with a Panaflex Millennium XL2 35mm camera.
When Leo slammed his hand down and cut it that wasn’t in the script he actually cut himself and just kept on acting like it was normal how it was meant to be.
Quinton Tarantino is from Knoxville, Samuel l jackson is from Chattanooga the part in pulp fiction was writen for samuel l jackson and Samuel l jackson read twice for it just make sure he got the role, Jules hair style was all samuel l jackson idea
Big Daddy was at Evergreen Plantation and Candyland is Oak Alley
Cant even see what's on screen. Is there a film showing somwhere in the background?
I love watching your reviews I watch them with my mother and when you go off on tangents about the littlest things that drives her crazy and it makes me laugh so hard😂😂😂
Stephen was ultimately the real villain of the movie, showing that evil exists in people regardless of their station in life. While technically a slave, Stephen was a power-hungry tyrant who was perfectly willing to play along with the system of slavery that the White Man established, so long as he was able to exercise his own power over other people within that system. Samuel L Jackson described him as “the free-est slave that ever lived,” because he was the de facto master due to Kalvin Candy’s idiocy and tendency to travel often.
A good way to think of their relationship is to think of Kalvin as the Emperor from Star Wars, and Stephen is his Darth Vader, only Darth Vader in this case is the one who’s really in charge because the Emperor is too incompetent to run things, but Vader lets him think he does. That’s Stephen and Kalvin.
White man didn't establish slavery
This is my first movie reaction I've seen from you and well done, sir. I look forward to seeing more.
Christoph waltz?.. such an amazing actor...plays the ultimate Nazi scumbag in Inglorious bastards and the ultimate freedom fighter in Django.... great movie...🔥🔥🔥
I enjoy the way your brain works. It's refreshing. Thank you sir.
This might be your best reaction, wauw. I feel more cultured now. Amazing ❤
19:02 well i could be wrong but the Bible specifically talks about "Whipping your Slave"... Women weren't shot on screen Tarantino stuck to that. That's y she was pulled out of frame
It's no coincidence your favorite Tarantino movies so far have both starred Christoph Waltz. He's an amazing actor!
I would LOVE to see you react to “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” - one of Tarantino’s newest. Leo makes another appearance, along with Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell, and many more 🤓🤞💃
Probably my favourite of his movies.
I absolutely love Tarintino movies.
At 32:56 I dont know if its been mentions but thay was the OG Django back in I believe the 60s or so when it was more of a spaghetti western series
When he picked out his own cloths. He went full peacock.
Ya never go full peacock. like # 601.
I tend to think the slaves didn't rebel for a much simpler reason: even if they killed all the slave owners in Candyland (or wherever else), everyone in the surrounding area would've banded together, tracked them down, killed them, and tortured them extremely harshly first, most likely, to make an example out of them. It's the same reason why the slaves in Ancient Rome were very reluctant to rebel and rarely ever did.
👀"Bro, he shot the horse in the face.." Funniest quote so far
1:10:02 yes it doesn't make sense that miss Laura was thrown into shadow realm in a split second. Its a nod to old movies where woman died off screen.
I knew you would love this and yes that was DeCaprios real blood
That he smeared on her? No bro thats not his blood but they left in him accidentally cutting his hand on the glass
It was a bloody 🩸 good performance
Besides Shultz telling the men freed in Texas to head north instead of south to Mexico to remain free, the most unrealistic thing in this movie is a black man, armed, riding a horse through Mississippi.
He didn't tell them to go north, he gave them the north star as a reference for orientation.
Yes, there is a Greenville, TX. It's about an hour east of Dallas on I-30.
Maybe my favourite thing about the "Hood Discussion" is that it feels almost like a "waste of time", but also Tarantino is fickle down to the frame in his movies so you KNOW he wanted us very badly to watch this ridiculous scene 😂❤
I appreciate your commentary as always. Hope you’re doing well amigo
The first town "Daughtrey, Texas" is not an actual town but it is real. It is filmed at Melody Ranch Studio in Newhall, CA near Santa Clarita. It has been a big western filming location since 1915 along with a lot of other studio, stages and prop stuff they have a whole town on location. It got caught up in the fire of '62 but the current owners rebuilt it from photos and film in the 90s. Some other movies filmed there are Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Last Stand with Johnny Knoxville and Arnold Schwarzenegger when he returned to acting.
A lot of the music is from previous spaghetti westerns, especially of the 60s to 80s. As many people have probably pointed out already, the guy asking if Django knows how to spell his name is the Italian actor who played the character of Django from some of those spaghetti westerns.
As much as this film depicts the disgusting history of the past, I'm afraid that it is just a sliver of the true inhumanity of what happened in reality. Tarentino was the bravest film maker ever to take on these topics, and we are better for it.
30:35 - Not worth endangering their mission over, but that was a pretty good burn.
54:59 they didn't have the wheel until Europeans
Just like native Americans
Proving you need a certain level of intelligence to figure out civilization
This completely explains the world and the layout of the world
This explains why third world nations are the way they are
There is no invisible hand of racism holding anybody back, people are just succeeding to the level of their capabilities.
The reason you can't tell the difference between a village and sub-Saharan Africa in a village in Haiti is because the inhabitants of both places are limited by their IQ which is the same because Haiti was the first island to throw off the shackles of slavery and they killed everyone white and everyone mixed race
So they are genetically almost identical to sub-Saharan Africa
So when you have a 68 IQ median for your society you get the same results around the world
Blazzing saddles was very much the influence for Quinton in making this
I was gonna say it mirrors blazing saddles in how it's greatest contest to racism is it's just fucking dumb, you'd have to be comedically moronic to honestly partake
People been memeing that last scene where she gets shot and flies back since this movie came out. Apperntly legend has it at the same time she got shot a ghost grabbed her
That blue seude outfit would have been perfect for the court of the French King.
My favourite part of this movie is when Franco Nero does his cameo. The theme song and title are from a very violent spaghetti western he played the lead in. It had quite a few spin-offs/sequels.
At the end, Samuel L. Jackson’s Stephen gives us, in rapid succession: The Usual Suspects; Nevada Smith; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Texas has mountains ! :D El Capitan is in Texas for example which is a well known peak amongst "outdoor people" . I believe the tallest peak is Guadalupe Peak at 8700 ft or so. A LOT of these are singular peaks however. Not much in the realm of mountain ranges per se
The horse doing the tricks is the same horse he's been riding throughout the film. It was still stabled at Candieland.
