Same here. I remember hearing it was going to have plot threads around Sharon Tate etc and thought it was going to be ultra bad taste but what we got was so much better.
@@tecumseh821Completely agree. It's about as happy an ending you could hope for with a Tarantino film. He's always played fast and loose with historical accuracy so I should have expected a rug pull but this was superb.
Unfortunately Sharon Tate and all of her guests were brutally murdered that night. They also killed a kid who was just trying to sell his radio. His name was Steven Parent. And yes, that was the real Sharon Tate Margot was watching during the movie theatre scene
@@TTM9691not everyone knows what happen with all that. Some peoples knowledge on Charles Manson is as far that he exists and he killed people. That's it and with the ahistorical ending would just confuse ppl further but it's fine it ain't that deep
It’s what gives this movie its emotional weight. Inglorious Basterds - Quentin solves WWII Django Unchained - Quentin solves slavery Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Quentin prevents the Tate/Bianchi murders The first two are satisfying revenge movies. But Once Upon a Time is so bittersweet.
All joking aside? Charles Manson and his people were real scary. One of the female members was recently paroled. Manson died in prison. So did Tex, I believe. There's a lot of stuff online about the Manson family, their trial and convictions. It's been said their crimes ended the whole Peace and Love thing going on with the 60s.
In the movie the part where Tex says “I’m the devil and I’m here to do the devils work” is something he actually said during the real life murders. If you look into the case it’s really interesting and really horrifying
Fun fact: The extras playing the nazis were actually torched by a flamethrower in the start of this film. They were wearing flame retardant suits, but DiCaprio accidentally torched one too much and it melted his costume to the ground. He had to be unstuck. Also the "shit that's too hot, anything you can do about that heat?" was DiCaprio's actual response to firing the flamethrower for the first time. Tarantino liked it so much he kept it in the film.
@@pnut3844able Some of the best movie lines come from improv without breaking character. One of my favorites is in Harry Potter when Malfoy goes "I didn't know you could read?" Tom Felton genuinely forgot his line and made that up on the spot while staying in character.
The girl with the dark hair who hitched with Cliff to Spohn Ranch is played by the daughter of Andie McDowell (the leading lady of Groundhog's Day). Uma's real daughter was the one who dipped in the taxi in that last scene. Uma's Kill Bill daughter was the hippie who sold Cliff the cigarette dipped in acid. And the weirdest cameo was the guy who played Charles Manson who also played Charlie in Mindhunter and looks WAY too much like Charles Manson in that show.
The line "put these on. Don't cry in front of the Mexicans" is so funny and amazing. It's just simple and Cliff just respected his friend and didn't want him to look weak around Mexicans because of the reputation of pride and machismo that comes with Mexicans so they don't judge Rick. I live by that line, don't cry in front of the Mexicans.
@@pnut3844able It’s Chekhov’s Blue Dodge. The playwright Chekhov, not the Star Trek one. And it was a rifle, not a car. If there’s a rifle over the fireplace mantle in the first act, someone’s going to shoot it in the third act.
Was so satisfied with this ending in the cinema. So used to movies and TV portraying Sharon and the others being murdered so I had a knot in my stomach leading up to the end....then this happened...I was laughing and cheering at the same time....Tarantino my boy...always there for me ❤❤❤
Shotout to both of those movies! I saw Jackie brown on Christmas day in the theater. One of my favorite Tarantino flicks. Pam Grier is so fine in that movie
And the gift shop was totally bogus. They only had one T-shirt in stock that said “I went to Spahn Ranch and all I got was a case of crabs from a grodie hippie chick.”
That's why a lot of actors don't watch their own movies. They're too hard on their own work. Meanwhile they've got millions of fans who love their acting
It's funny because a lot of people were pissed at how Cliff did Bruce Lee. To me it was actually a good emphasis of how good Cliff is as a fighter as well as a foreshadowing of how he was able to take down the 3 hippies single handedly. I looked at it as a set up for that. The fact Cliff was able to beat someone so skilled says something about him.
Shit, that was one of the best parts of the movie lol. He was the most annoying version of Bruce I've ever seen on screen, so I didn't mind seeing him get thrown through a car.
@@chuckleezodiac24 he wasn't imagining. He was reminiscing. That situation was the reason he was fired. That's why he said "fair enough." I also read the book Tarantino wrote afterwards which also goes into more backstory as to why Cliff is so tough and bad ass.
34:15 I think tarantino said they wanted to leave the scenes where the real Sharon Tate is acting without recreating them, and I think it's a very good idea.
1:07:53: "To be honest without the murders, this is literally like a feel-good movie. Just a movie that just ... it just has a plot of a character living life and the end they kind of get their prize of success". As I understand it, the (fictional) murders depicted in the film are weirdly enough part of the movie's feel-good happy ending. I don't know everything there is to know about late 60's/early 70s Hollywood (just for the record), but as I understand history: The real Charles Manson was a struggling musician who targeted [someone] for assassination because he thought it would instigate a war between the races. I'm not clear on weather Manson was looking to murder Sharon Tate specifically, or if she got caught in the cross-fire when they were looking for someone else who wasn't there. What I do know is that a few members of "The Manson Family" were sent to Tate's house on Manson's orders and ended up killing Tate and her unborn child. The subsequent trial of Manson and his fallowers became a pop-culture phenomenon (Think "The O. J. Simpson Trial" before the O. J. Trial was a thing) and "The Manson Family" got characterized as the Hippie movement's dark underbelly; so in some ways, the incident is viewed as the unceremonious end of the "Summer of Love". Tate was not the only victim of the Manson family, but she was a known quantity as a Hollywood actress, and she was married to director Roman Palanski, who'd found success with the 1968 horror film "Rosmary's Baby", so her death got the bulk of the attention. Tate's status as a victim of the Manson family was compounded by the mythologizing of the film production for Polanski's "Chinatown", which, rather famously, features an ending that was not scripted, but improvised at the last minute. According to legend, the dark tone of Polanski's new ending was done as a way to mourn the loss of his wife and child. The films that were released fallowing the death of Sharon Tate (let's say those between 1969 and 1977) got grittier and darker as well. They included "Five Easy Pieces", "Dirty Harry", "Marathon Man", "Taxi Driver" and "The French Connection, as well as the aforementioned "Chinatown". By 1978, Polanski had been convicted of raping an underage girl and ended up fleeing the United States to avoid going to jail (he hasn't returned to the U.S. since). In the 50 years between Tate's murder and the release of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", the incident had become a staple of true-crime books, movies and television. To the point where Sharon Tate's existence as anything other then a murder victim had largely been forgotten. And that's the climate that Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was released in, one where the audience is expecting another lurid true-crime tale from the guy who made "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" and is instead treated to a pleasant "what if?"; A feel good ending where the Manson Family encounters Rick Dalton instead and Tate, and Tate, Polanski, and cinematic/American culture are saved from the tragic history that fallowed.
Sharon Tate and the others were simply unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Charles Manson had dealings with the former resident of that house, Terry Melcher, who was a record producer he met through Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys. In the movie, Manson goes to the house looking for Terry Melcher, and Jay Seibring tells him that “Terry and Candie”, (Terry Melcher and girlfriend Candice Bergen), have moved. Melcher had initially planned on recording an album with Manson, and doing a movie about his “family”, but broke off contact when he discovered how crazy Manson was. Still, the ONLY reason Manson targeted that house was due to its association with Terry Melcher.
Most of that group all hung out at a mansion in Laurel Canyon, Mostly all Military High Ranking Officers kids believed to be under hypnotherapy Jim Morrison among many others, also none person who was there a lot was Charles Manson. Laurel Canyon was a Former Military Base, back during 30ties.
Manson murders, Vietnam war and Woodstock were the backdrop of my teens. Bless Tarantino for this movie! I really enjoyed watching you guys having so much fun watching this movie! Great reaction.
bro I saw this in the cinema when it came out and its makes you forget its a tarantino movie for 2 hours and then the scene at the end was so loud and violent out of nowhere it was fucking ridiculous. really good movie
This watch/reaction of QT's masterpiece was a fun ride! It is my 2nd favorite Quention Tarantino film, 1st is (which will always be) ''Reservoir Dogs'', 3rd ''Jackie Brown''. Quentin Tarantino is also my 2nd favorite director of all time, no.1 is Sergio Leone. P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
ok your newly updated MUST SEE movie list: 1) Apocalypse Now, 2) The World According to Garp, (Robin Williams) 3) Dirty Harry movieS 4) This Boy's Life (DiCaprio) 5) Richard Pryor movieS The Toy/Stir Crazy etc, 6) Sharky's Machine (Burt Reynolds) 7) The Deer Hunter, 8) Purple Rain, 9) Deliverance 10) Rushmore 11) Fast Times at Ridgemont High 12) Risky Business 13) Leon: The Professional 14) Caddy Shack 15) Bad Boys (1982) 16) Natural Born Killers 17) American Beauty 18) An Officer and a Gentleman 19) The Color of Money/The Hustler 20) Tootsie 21) Eyes Wide Shut 22) Rainman 23) 48 Hrs, 24) Donnie Darko 25) The Jerk
Tarantino loves the concept of “what if…” This is a much happier ending than what actually happened. He said himself that this movie was a love letter to Hollywood. No big “N’s” needed. Also, the only Tarantino movie so far without it.
I'm not a big Tarantino fan, but I loved this movie. It's beautifully done and both Pitt and DiCaprio were perfection in these roIes, and that child actor was a delight. I also appreciated it because this was the time and place of my youth and I remember it well and find Tarantino's vision of how things turned out so much better and more satisfying that real life.
The ending part of this movie was basically a revenge fantasy against the mason cult members that killed Sharon Tate and her friends in a satanic sacrifice type of killing irl. Sad stuff. Great movie tho
Hard to believe that's Austin Butler portraying Tex Watson. When he says "I'm the devil here to do the devil's business" Watson reportedly actually said that during the Tate killings. Enjoyed this! Y'all should do True Romance or Inglorious Basterds.
I don't know if you guys will see this. But basically this movie is a twist on Hollywood and a certain story. And what I mean by that is. Sharon Tate, the blonde actress that was wearing the big glasses, that was a real actress in 1969, that was murdered by the people that tried to break into Rick Dalton's house in the movie. But when you listen closely Tex and the girls were going to murder her but instead ran into Rick Dalton, and as they said they thought they should kill the people that taught them about murder in the movies (Rick Dalton). So basically what the director and the writer did was the fictional Rick Dalton made a twist and a change to the real life story. Tex and those girls were apart of the Manson Family. The ranch they were living on was Spahn Ranch the actual name of the ranch the Manson's lived on.
@22:45 🤣🤣 "Who's that dude?" That dude is CHARLES MANSON 🤣🤣 One of the most notorious serial killers in American history. I feel so damn old watching this part... Old like dirt old. Man, I hope you guys googled the Manson Family before getting to the end of this film lol. Still a great reaction no matter what! @26:18 Best ten seconds of this whole reaction.... I'm dying...
This movie gets ignored because it’s a real film nerd movie. I enjoy the shit out of this one , the other cult classics from Tarantino is 4 Rooms and the 2 movie epic Grindhouse featuring “Death Peoof” and “Planet Terror” which are fucking fantastic. Also that dude y’all can’t recognize is the bank manager who gets the a grenade shoved in his mouth by the Joker in the opening of “the dark knight”. Lastly the Bruce Lee fight is based on a real story about Gene LaBell, and the spawn ranch kids are a real depiction of Charlie Manson’s family along with the murder of Sharon Tate at Roman Polanski house..
Just so you know a few more facts about the Manson murders. Charlie did go to Sharon Tate's house looking for Terry who was the son of Doris Day. And Sharon did see him. The next day after the Tate murders, they went to a different house and killed two more people. That's why it's always referred to as the Tate-Labianca Murders. Also there was a stunt man that got murdered at the Spawn Ranch. His name was Shorty Shea. When you know that going in, it makes the whole Spawn Ranch scene much more foreboding. Manson, and Clem, the guy who had to change the tire were convicted of his murder. Actually the investigation into all this is really fascinating. If you are interested in knowing more check out the mini series Helter Skelter. It's based off a book the prosecutong attorney wrote about the investigation and trial. In the series they did a lot of voice overs. I think all the voice over work was a nod to that series. Especially at the end. The actor that played the prosecuting attorney was the same actor that played Loraine's dad in Back To The Future I.
To all the Bruce Lee controversy around that scene, Mike called it in BCS “Does Bruce Lee have a gun? No, then Ali destroys him.” -paraphrasing. I don’t question Mike. 👍🏽
I studied the Cliff Booth vs. Bruce Lee scene very closely several times. 1. This is Cliff's memory, per Tarantino, so absolute accuracy is not in the cards. The fairy tale standards apply, hence the title of the movie. 2. Bruce Lee, was a hell of a martial arts innovator and no where near the prick as portrayed-- again, this is Cliff's account, who knows how many years later. 3. That said, Lee was not the invincible Superman his worshipers make him out to be. Even in his demonstrations, a seasoned martial artist would occasionally counter Bruce's "lightening speed" by actually seeing Bruce's micro telegraph movements. 4. Cliff let Bruce get that first kick in, to see how Bruce did it. As magicians say about other magicians "show me a card trick once and you might fool me. Show me the same trick again and you taught me". Notice how Cliff goads Bruce, "try that again"...and Bruce takes the bait, and hits the car a lot harder, aided by Cliff's arms, than Cliff's controlled fall. 5. When they actually start .exchanging kicks and punches, Cliff dominates. He has at least 40 pounds of muscle and bone over Bruce, and with his military experience, including bar fights, may have more real world experience than Lee.
You had to be aware of old school to really like this, get all the references, such as 'Lancer' was a real show. The revisionist happy ending was pure fantasy...of a real event.
I hope youdonall the Tarantino films.interesting choice to do his mist recent, I would have gone vack further and worked up to this. Since unc did heat, you know this is gonna be good.
N o w... please watch True Romance, written by Tarantino, but not directed by him, He sold the script so he could make his first movie, Reservoir Dogs,... "His prowess didn't end with his camera work, and True Romance stands out as a testament to just how great the director is at writing both stories and dialogue. The original script was actually sold by Tarantino to fund his production of Reservoir Dogs, ensuring he had two movies under his belt in as many years.... True Romance was directed by Tony Scott, known for action films like Top Gun and Man on Fire. At the age of 25, the young Tarantino sold his True Romance script for just $50,000-the minimum according to WGA rules. Despite the low payout, it marked a pivotal moment in his budding career."
1:07:52 Well tbh I wouldn’t exactly call them “murders” as it was self-defense, killing doesn’t always = murder. But I digress lol because the point I’m trying to get is that I almost wanna say Cliff (Brad Pitt) killing those cultists is what makes this a “feel good film”. (Because in real life they murdered a pregnant Sharon Tate that night.)
OK, a few things you may have yet missed. You need to go back and look just at the end of the credits. There is at least another minute of very funny scene with Leo. 2. You need to read up a bit on Charles, Charlie' Manson and the Manson family. His band including Tex killed Sharon Tate and her friends on that August night. That is why they were dating the scenes. the Febuary dates didn't matter, only the August date did. 3. Apparently Rick Dalton was based on Burt Reynolds. He was supposed to play the old man at Spahn ranch,(a real place where the Manson clan lived,) but he died so they got Bruce Dern to do it. BTW, I was 16 that summer and remember it all. I saw this movie when it opened, the 50th anniversary of the Tate murders.
1:21:42: No. It IS BECAUSE you be wanting to. "I definitely kinda move on with the time (choice.) There's movies that I watch that are oldies that always run back (choice.) There's also movies that are old that I'll never got back to, neither though, that I haven't watched at all. But it's 2020+ bruh, I'm not watching those movies." Well, good for you and your movie channel! I did enjoy your reactions to Tarantino movies but after this statement, why should I subscribe?

Between Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino,, both have their hits I would put pulp fiction up against Goodfellas and the Wolf of Wall Street up against this movie and honestly, I better like this movie than the wolf I just seems more in depth rather than just Quaaludes and craziness but nevertheless they both are the best directors of this time period
@@FriendRequestReviews Formal must’ve been roasted, he was still snacking 48 minutes into the video, which means you were like 2hrs into the movie. 😂😂😂😂😂

Well, it was a good deal more than a "Manson" story. Thus was a tribute...with his followers woven in.
I was dreading the end of this knowing what happened in real life and was so glad it took a twist!!
Same here. I remember hearing it was going to have plot threads around Sharon Tate etc and thought it was going to be ultra bad taste but what we got was so much better.

Be sure and read Chaos by Tom O'Neill. It has some interesting new material on the Manson case.
It’s what gives this movie its emotional weight.
Inglorious Basterds - Quentin solves WWII
Django Unchained - Quentin solves slavery
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Quentin prevents the Tate/Bianchi murders
The first two are satisfying revenge movies. But Once Upon a Time is so bittersweet.
You should review Bullet Train with Brad Pitt! That movie is crazy with a ton of cameos!
Brad Pitt won an Oscar for his performance in this movie. It was nominated for quite a few Oscars and it was very successful at the box office.

He said himself that this movie was a love letter to Hollywood. No big “N’s” needed. Also, the only Tarantino movie so far without it.
Loved the ending, so no issues here lol
The first Tarantino movie I saw in the theater before it went to video -- A Tarantino movie on the big screen... worth every minute of screen time.
I'm not a big Tarantino fan, but I loved this movie. It's beautifully done and both Pitt and DiCaprio were perfection in these roIes, and that child actor was a delight. I also appreciated it because this was the time and place of my youth and I remember it well and find Tarantino's vision of how things turned out so much better and more satisfying that real life.
The hippie girl is the little girl, 'B B', from the last scene in KILL BILL 2 , grown up .
Don't know if you guys have seen it but The Hateful Eight is another Tarantino movie that is underrated imo. It's definitely worth a watch lol
Bruce Lee taught Dean Martin and Sharon Tate some moves for the fight scenes in The Wrecking Crew.
Oh hell yeah! LMAO This was by far my fav reaction of y'all's. Comedy with violence is definitely your lane. You both were awesome with it 😆🤣😎
The guy who you know you have seen some where is Damian Lewis (Capt. Winters in Band of Brothers) and is playing Steve McQueen in this movie.
Great choice, Unc!
Thank you! If you have any recommendations let me know!
Unc comes through with the HEAT
Thanks for the offer. Bullet Train?
Love this movie. Great reaction guys!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I think i actually enjoyed this reaction the most outta all of them & ive been watching y'all for a minute
I cannot recommend enough "From Dusk Till Dawn" Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez mashup
The ending part of this movie was basically a revenge fantasy against the mason cult members that killed Sharon Tate and her friends in a satanic sacrifice type of killing irl. Sad stuff. Great movie tho
Hard to believe that's Austin Butler portraying Tex Watson. When he says "I'm the devil here to do the devil's business" Watson reportedly actually said that during the Tate killings. Enjoyed this! Y'all should do True Romance or Inglorious Basterds.
I don't know if you guys will see this. But basically this movie is a twist on Hollywood and a certain story. And what I mean by that is. Sharon Tate, the blonde actress that was wearing the big glasses, that was a real actress in 1969, that was murdered by the people that tried to break into Rick Dalton's house in the movie. But when you listen closely Tex and the girls were going to murder her but instead ran into Rick Dalton, and as they said they thought they should kill the people that taught them about murder in the movies (Rick Dalton). So basically what the director and the writer did was the fictional Rick Dalton made a twist and a change to the real life story. Tex and those girls were apart of the Manson Family. The ranch they were living on was Spahn Ranch the actual name of the ranch the Manson's lived on.
I’ve got to admit that I only watch your Sopranos reactions but this was great. Good analysis afterwards too. Get some chocolate squares on me. 😘
Thanks for the support 🙏🏾 🙌
True Romance got Gandolfini in it! Proto-Tony Soprano pretty much.
He’s the one who hands the piece to eggplant Sicilian Chris Walken, no?
@22:45 🤣🤣 "Who's that dude?" That dude is CHARLES MANSON 🤣🤣 One of the most notorious serial killers in American history. I feel so damn old watching this part... Old like dirt old. Man, I hope you guys googled the Manson Family before getting to the end of this film lol. Still a great reaction no matter what!
@26:18 Best ten seconds of this whole reaction.... I'm dying...
Formal knew enough going in but I knew nothing about it. Still a great movie whether you know it or not.
Yas sir. Still a great reaction… but --k I feel old now. Can’t wait till you all finish True Detective. Best television ever made…. After “The Wire.”
This movie gets ignored because it’s a real film nerd movie. I enjoy the shit out of this one , the other cult classics from Tarantino is 4 Rooms and the 2 movie epic Grindhouse featuring “Death Peoof” and “Planet Terror” which are fucking fantastic. Also that dude y’all can’t recognize is the bank manager who gets the a grenade shoved in his mouth by the Joker in the opening of “the dark knight”. Lastly the Bruce Lee fight is based on a real story about Gene LaBell, and the spawn ranch kids are a real depiction of Charlie Manson’s family along with the murder of Sharon Tate at Roman Polanski house..
Planet Terror is awesome.
Bralik’s Chucky impression killed me 🤣
Was that Meryl Streep when she was 8😅?!
i'm invested.. you guys are great.. thanks for the reaction.. i'm subscribed
Just so you know a few more facts about the Manson murders.
Charlie did go to Sharon Tate's house looking for Terry who was the son of Doris Day. And Sharon did see him.
The next day after the Tate murders, they went to a different house and killed two more people. That's why it's always referred to as the Tate-Labianca Murders.
Also there was a stunt man that got murdered at the Spawn Ranch. His name was Shorty Shea. When you know that going in, it makes the whole Spawn Ranch scene much more foreboding. Manson, and Clem, the guy who had to change the tire were convicted of his murder.
Actually the investigation into all this is really fascinating. If you are interested in knowing more check out the mini series Helter Skelter. It's based off a book the prosecutong attorney wrote about the investigation and trial.
In the series they did a lot of voice overs. I think all the voice over work was a nod to that series. Especially at the end.
The actor that played the prosecuting attorney was the same actor that played Loraine's dad in Back To The Future I.
Such a great choice for a reaction, gentlemen! I am with the other commenters, Jackie Brown would be great next
To all the Bruce Lee controversy around that scene, Mike called it in BCS “Does Bruce Lee have a gun? No, then Ali destroys him.” -paraphrasing.
I don’t question Mike. 👍🏽
Facts 🤣
42:44 George is played by Bruce Dern. He played Old Man Carrucan (guy with the funky sunglasses) in Django Unchained.
You guys seriously have the best reactions. Longer then most and solid af. Yall gota expand on movies. Law abiding citizen saving private ryan
Brad Pitt won his very first Oscar for this 🌠Check out his acceptance speech online . I literally cried happy tears for him that night .
The guy you said looked familiar played in "the girl next door" and "alpha dog." Emile Hersch
This is a modern classic imo.
America needs more Cliff Booth's.
There’s a lot more in the extended/bonus cut, some funny stuff in the credits too. Just mentioning it.
I studied the Cliff Booth vs. Bruce Lee scene very closely several times.
1. This is Cliff's memory, per Tarantino, so absolute accuracy is not in the cards. The fairy tale standards apply, hence the title of the movie.
2. Bruce Lee, was a hell of a martial arts innovator and no where near the prick as portrayed-- again, this is Cliff's account, who knows how many years later.
3. That said, Lee was not the invincible Superman his worshipers make him out to be. Even in his demonstrations, a seasoned martial artist would occasionally counter Bruce's "lightening speed" by actually seeing Bruce's micro telegraph movements.
4. Cliff let Bruce get that first kick in, to see how Bruce did it. As magicians say about other magicians "show me a card trick once and you might fool me. Show me the same trick again and you taught me". Notice how Cliff goads Bruce, "try that again"...and Bruce takes the bait, and hits the car a lot harder, aided by Cliff's arms, than Cliff's controlled fall.
5. When they actually start .exchanging kicks and punches, Cliff dominates. He has at least 40 pounds of muscle and bone over Bruce, and with his military experience, including bar fights, may have more real world experience than Lee.
Y'all bringing that heat today wit this 1😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The pickle girl is Margaret Qualley. 41:40 that's Dakota Fanning, right - with brown contact lenses.
It’s a platonic I love story between two men.
Great reaction fellas! Love this movie! Quentin is that dude! Looking forward to checking out more from your channel. Subscribing!
True Romance. Quinten wrote it, but did not direct. You'll love it! "Cliff" and "Tony Soprano" have a scene!
You had to be aware of old school to really like this, get all the references, such as 'Lancer' was a real show. The revisionist happy ending was pure fantasy...of a real event.
Tarantino wrote a novelization of this after the movie was released. Cliff's backstory is wild
The girl in car with Brad is Andie McDowels daughter . Dakota fanning is girl in house at spawn ranch
I hope youdonall the Tarantino films.interesting choice to do his mist recent, I would have gone vack further and worked up to this. Since unc did heat, you know this is gonna be good.
N o w... please watch True Romance, written by Tarantino, but not directed by him, He sold the script so he could make his first movie, Reservoir Dogs,... "His prowess didn't end with his camera work, and True Romance stands out as a testament to just how great the director is at writing both stories and dialogue. The original script was actually sold by Tarantino to fund his production of Reservoir Dogs, ensuring he had two movies under his belt in as many years.... True Romance was directed by Tony Scott, known for action films like Top Gun and Man on Fire. At the age of 25, the young Tarantino sold his True Romance script for just $50,000-the minimum according to WGA rules. Despite the low payout, it marked a pivotal moment in his budding career."
have you seen From Dusk till Dawn? it'd be a lot cooler if you did.
1:07:52 Well tbh I wouldn’t exactly call them “murders” as it was self-defense, killing doesn’t always = murder. But I digress lol because the point I’m trying to get is that I almost wanna say Cliff (Brad Pitt) killing those cultists is what makes this a “feel good film”. (Because in real life they murdered a pregnant Sharon Tate that night.)
we don't disagree
"this man bout to trauma dump on an 8 year old" ☠️
lol I was worried for a second
Dakota Fanning plays the girl who answers the door 41:50
facts
She was playing Squeaky Fromm. The Manson girl that tried to kill President Ford.
She plays Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a real Manson family member who later would try to kill President Gerald Ford.
OK, a few things you may have yet missed. You need to go back and look just at the end of the credits. There is at least another minute of very funny scene with Leo. 2. You need to read up a bit on Charles, Charlie' Manson and the Manson family. His band including Tex killed Sharon Tate and her friends on that August night. That is why they were dating the scenes. the Febuary dates didn't matter, only the August date did. 3. Apparently Rick Dalton was based on Burt Reynolds. He was supposed to play the old man at Spahn ranch,(a real place where the Manson clan lived,) but he died so they got Bruce Dern to do it. BTW, I was 16 that summer and remember it all. I saw this movie when it opened, the 50th anniversary of the Tate murders.
The relationship between Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth is based on Burt Reynolds and stuntman Hal Needham.
Y’all definitely got to watch and react to Jackie Brown
Wasn't the same hippies that sold him the lsd cigarette...Great reaction 😂😂
12:26 That's Maj. Richard Winters (lol Damian Lewis) portraying Steve McQueen...
Leo is the 21st century Pacino/De Niro
Awsome reactions bro
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Excellent reaction dudes
🤣😂🤣"M-f's are thirsty! " 😂
🎉🎉🎉
You two crack me up! Haha
we're glad to bring some laughter to your life
“Has to be her, cuz I haven’t seen her.” Like bruh what
you guys should do Once Upon a Time in the West
If y’all liked this, y’all should watch Zodiac (2007)
1:21:42: No. It IS BECAUSE you be wanting to. "I definitely kinda move on with the time (choice.) There's movies that I watch that are oldies that always run back (choice.) There's also movies that are old that I'll never got back to, neither though, that I haven't watched at all. But it's 2020+ bruh, I'm not watching those movies." Well, good for you and your movie channel! I did enjoy your reactions to Tarantino movies but after this statement, why should I subscribe?
If that's what you got from that statement, then I can tell you walk around looking for arguments lmao. Stay blessed friend, we'll see you around.

Great video! hope you do more Tarantino
1:00:54 blew his mind😂
I wish this is how true life had been
29:16 - Joe Namath, NY Jets QB = Patrick Mahomes in a movie fight scene today...
Between Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino,, both have their hits I would put pulp fiction up against Goodfellas and the Wolf of Wall Street up against this movie and honestly, I better like this movie than the wolf I just seems more in depth rather than just Quaaludes and craziness but nevertheless they both are the best directors of this time period
This movie was alright. Not Quentin’s best but it’s better than movies out there lol
It could've definitley been shorter and still hit the same, we had fun with it though.
I’m guessing you guys didn’t know about the history that this movie is based on?
Formal did know a little but I was clueless as usual
@@FriendRequestReviews
Formal must’ve been roasted, he was still snacking 48 minutes into the video, which means you were like 2hrs into the movie.
😂😂😂😂😂
We both were 😂😂
