It’s been an awesome ride going through Tarantino’s films but there are still some remaining that we can’t wait to watch! Thank you all for the support!
Sharon Tate’s surviving sister wasn’t sure about the film until she watched it and felt it was cathartic. It was literally the first time in fifty years that she could smile watching a movie about Sharon where Sharon lived and the Manson family got what was coming to them.
She met Tarantino before they started shooting. She had objected to the movie before then. And then was reassured once he met her and showed her the screenplay and script.
After seeing Margot Robbie performing as her sister on the set, Debra Tate said "She made me cry because she sounded just like Sharon. The tone in her voice was completely Sharon, and it just touched me so much... I actually got to see my sister again… nearly 50 years later."
I usually close my eyes for the ending bloodbaths in Tarantino films, but I couldn't stop laughing during this one. I've watched that segment over and over because I can't get enough of those Mansons getting theirs. 🤣
Sharon Tate’s Sister provided Sharon’s jewelry for Margot Robbie to wear.She was involved in the movie and like others have said thought it was a good movie and portrayal of Sharon
The ending is so cathartic because that's how we wished it could've ended. Quentin Tarantino reduced these monsters to an absolute joke. The audience in the theater was laughing and cheering. It was a perfect revenge on the Manson family for what they did. Also, the final scene where the four people who actually died in real life go out and greet Leo's character, a case of "if only", gets to me.
Yeah, I always get this really melancholy feeling at the end of this. It makes me nostalgic & happy, but there’s an underlying sadness for victims of the murders & an overlying sadness for the loss of this time & the innocence of this time, when life seemed a little simpler.
I can't really put my finger on it, but having the gates open up and Rick walk through - to then be greeted by the people who, in real life, were murdered - feels significant to me.
Yeah right but did Manson kill somebody or even the other people,the " family"? There is not evidence ,so why did this fake murdered pointed to a bunch of hippies who likes drugs ? Well ,DEA was created immediately after this events , everything was ready to present the DEA but they don't have a reason to get the green light of the public opinion ,so after the escenificación of this slaughter ...
@@davidw.2791 You and the OG comment obviously watched Blind Wave's reaction and just regurgitate their thoughts, basically word for word too you dorks. I hope you've gotten your own personalities and thoughts since these comments...
The whole Cliff Booth killing his wife subplot was a riff on the Robert Wagner/Natalie Wood rumors. And Burt Reynolds was going to play George Spahn, but he died a short time before filming started
the last part with Sharon Tate and everyone who didn't die is so sweet and sad. Tarantino respectfully told that story and gave a bit of poetic revenge, but fictitious at the end of the day. Good reaction, as always.
Along with Jackie Brown, this is Tarantino's most bighearted film. Such a generous "what if," giving Ms. Tate her moment to enjoy how her performance in The Wrecking Crew went down with a real audience and then ultimately sparing her (and her baby's) life. And her life itself was given such joyous exuberance by Margot Robbie.
QT's attention to detail in this movie is insane. The Manson girls dumpster diving, the Spahn Ranch, the driving through the streets of LA, Manson visiting the house in an ice cream truck were all based on real events. Even the cars in the Polanski driveway were the exact colors as real life. And so many more. Many consider this as QT's love letter to LA. Very cool.
I wish he'd left in the scene with Manson coming to talk to the guy in the door (it's in the DVD extras), there's very little actual Manson character stuff in the movie I guess very deliberately so but it's a good scene that would've fit well into the final film (where Pitt watches from the roof). Oh well, maybe there'll be a director's cut one day if he does that sort of thing.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Yeah, I guess people who want even more Damon Herriman as Charles Manson beyond that deleted scene will just have to watch season two of Mindhunter on Netflix. I did see Tarantino talking about a possible longer cut of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood maybe even in series format for Netflix like he did with The Hateful Eight. However this was back when the film had just released so I guess nothing ever came of it. The Hateful Eight is almost an hour longer in the series format. He did mention that the first cut of Once Upon a time in Hollywood was also around 4 hours before they cut large chunks including a character played by Tim Roth who was completely removed from the film.
@@suschords because in real life everyone in that house was murdered that night. All 5 of them. But in Tarantino's version the killers die and they live, inviting Rick up to socilize with them. But the way they do it. She's a floating voice over the intercom and then she and Jay who also died that night come down to the driveway to bring him in. The happy ending compared to the reality that all 5 of the people inside that house were brutally murdered that night. And "brutally" is an understatement.
The Manson Murders are sometimes seen as the death of the Hollywood's Golden Age (it wasn't really, it was just a symptom) and Tarantino has often spoken on how much he loved that image of Hollywood. By killing the Mansons, Tarantino saves the version of Hollywood he loves. "The hippies aren't." is one of the funniest lines ever.
If anything, the Manson Murders only marked the death of the naive dream of peace & love, Altamont being another nail in the coffin. As far as Old Hollywood goes, it already died way before that, simply because it had gotten frumpy and stopped being relevant. By 1969, New Hollywood was already well underway, with Polanski being one of its main representatives btw. A new type of film language, narrative and new ways of storytelling were finding their way, inspired by the French New Wave, Italian neorealism and world cinema, by filmmakers such as Fellini, Bergman or Kurosawa. New types of actors, the Al Pacinos and Dustin Hoffmanns were replacing the John Waynes and Gary Coopers. The old studio system driven by powerful producers like Selznick was replaced by the new age of auteur filmmaking, which itself gave way to modern independent cinema, one of whose most prominent representatives being - you guessed it - Tarantino. So when you think of it, that statement of his is not without a certain irony, is it?
IMO, Manson and Altamont wasn't the death of peace and love, it just exposed the underbelly of it. Those incidents just exposed the harsh reality that nothing is a perfect utopia.
I think the flamethrower was supposed to be in "Inglorious Basterds", but Tarantino left it out for some weird reason. That shows how intricate of a writer he is.
There were quite a few things in this film that made me smile, but gratuitous violence doesn't. There's too much of that in real life already imo. Makes me cringe at best. There's a thin line between justice and self righteousness.
the ending always makes me weep. sharon's voice through the speaker...what could have been. QT's sincere melancholy and empathy for Sharon and the rest is so deeply felt.
Once upon a time in Hollywood is probably the only film to truly nail the best adult male friendship dynamic accurately. That line “more than a brother but a little less than a wife” is perfect
When Out of Time played in the theater I started to cry because of the knowledge about the real life events. Tarantino really knows what to pick for his movies.
Two top-notch Frank Sinatra films, The Manchuria Candidate (1962) and From Here to Eternity (1953), do not disappoint. They are very different films and I’d probably start with The Manchurian Candidate. It’s a psychological thriller that was ahead of its time. Thanks for the fun reaction! 💜✌️
"From Here to Eternity," as I'm sure you know, became a part of Hollywood history in "The Godfather." The character of Johnny Fontaine, the singer who wanted the Godfather to help him get a movie role, represented Sinatra, who actually won an Academy Award for his role in "Here to Eternity." I've always thought that Sinatra was, just maybe, as good an actor as a singer.
21:45/ Sad piece of trivia... Burt Reynolds was originally set to play George Spahn. He died before filming for his scenes commenced. In his place, the great Bruce Dern, yup - Laura Dern's papa, played old man Spahn. Also sad to know this was the final film appearance of Luke Perry. Grim Reaper was definitely busy around this project...❤
I've been waiting for this. What a great, surprising film. To boldly just go with such an "If Only" rewrite of history; it was so unexpected. I loved it. Let's see how ya'll take it. Here we go!
You’re right the movie provides a goldmine of people whose filmographies are worth exploring. Some suggestions: Roman Polanski has made many fine films (Knife in the Water, Tess, The Tenant, The Ghost Writer) but his two essentials are Rosemary’s Baby & Chinatown. Same for Steve McQueen, some of his more famous are-Bullitt, The Great Escape, The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Towering Inferno, Love with the Proper Stranger. Frank Sinatra had a very varied career that included musicals as well as dramas and comedies. Some of his best-From Here to Eternity (he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this and it’s an excellent film alongside his contribution), The Manchurian Candidate, High Society, Some Came Running. Enter the Dragon is definitely Bruce Lee’s best-known film and the best place to start with him. In the scene where Margot Robbie is watching the film in the theatre that is the actual Sharon Tate in the movie “The Wrecking Crew.” Sharon was a rising star, and a gifted comedienne, but did not have the chance to appear in any classics. The Wrecking Crew is a VERY 60’s James Bond spy spoof with Dean Martin that is a pleasant time passer, but it does contain Sharon’s best comic performance. It was also the last of her films released in her lifetime and garnered her strong reviews. Most of her other films are middling, and then there’s the infamous so bad its good Valley of the Dolls, but Eye of the Devil is interesting. There is also a feature short called “All Eyes on Sharon Tate” that was intended as a piece of publicity but now is a fascinating glimpse of the actual woman. I do believe it’s available on TH-cam. The alternate ending is incredibly bittersweet. During the publicity tour for the film Tarantino spoke about how he became enchanted by the real Sharon Tate, who was well-known to be an exceedingly kind, down to earth person, and wanted to restore some dignity to her and give her an identity outside of murder victim. I was very young when the Manson murders happened, but I do remember them. It was a huge story, with Sharon being a rising star married to uber hot director Roman Polanski (he was in Europe finishing up a film and was scheduled to return within a week to be home for the birth of their son), one of the other victims being Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folger Coffee fortune and the many other Hollywood connections involved (for instance record producer Terry Melcher-the person who the Polanskis were renting the house from, and who Manson held a spite for, was the son of Doris Day) plus the brutality and the fact that once captured the trials spread over several years. The fate Tarantino dealt out to the Manson scum was very satisfying. I appreciate the overall film; the look and performances are aces but having seen it once I have no desire to revisit it.
I love the history revision, how it played out. The real story is horrific & knowing about it is needed to truly appreciate this movie. I think my favorite Steve McQueen movies are Bullitt, the very long Papillon & The Great Escape.
Wanted Dead or Alive is one of my favorite Western TV Shows that's what QT want Leo's show bounty Law to represent lots of parallels with McQueen's Career in this Movie
Funny fact: the hippie girl that sold the cigarette to Ciff is played by the same actress (Perla Haney-Jardine) that played Uma Thurman's daughter in Kill Bill.
The little girl that was in the "western movie" is Julia Butters. She is awesome. She was in a TV show called American Housewife playing the youngest child. Quenton saw her and picked her personally for the part in his movie.
Fun Fact: The scene between Cliff Booth and Bruce Lee was inspired by an actual incident that occurred on the set of The Green Hornet between stunt coordinator Bennie Dobbins and Bruce Lee due to Lee constantly hitting stuntmen during fight scenes, which resulted in Dobbins hiring Judo master and stuntman Gene LeBell to attempt to rein Bruce in and stop him from accidentally injuring stuntmen.
According to the backstory written by Quentin Tarantino, Cliff Booth was a World War II hero who later joined the Special Forces and became a Green Beret in the 1950s, and was an expert in weapons and martial arts, hence his ability to fight Bruce Lee to a draw.
This is probably my favorite Tarantino directed movie followed by Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight. I really enjoyed the reaction and glad that you were able to get some background on Manson and his followers before you watched the movie. Some other reactors didn't have that knowledge going in so they lost the emotional impact of the ending with Sharon Tate and the baby surviving. A few things: Dakota Fanning was portraying Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, who later would try to assassinate President Gerald Ford. The "Terry" that Manson was looking for when he came to the Polanski/Tate house was Terry Melcher, a music producer and also the son of Doris Day. Manson had been to the house previously for parties when Melcher lived there with his girlfriend Candice Bergen and was trying to get a music contract. They moved out and the owner of the house rented it to Roman Polanski.
I loved hearing your thoughts at the end. I do agree this movie is a love letter to "Hollywood"/movies, and we experience different aspects of it in each character. I love it.
My favorite QT movie. Love your reaction. This movie is such a touchstone for Hollywood in the late 1960s. When I saw this in a theater, I turned to my friend about halfway through and said 'this is the most satisfying movie ever.'
Great reaction! This might be my favorite Tarantino film. And yes, it really is a bit of a sad ending knowing how things played out in real life. The actor who played Pussycat (the girl that had Brad Pitt drive her to the Manson ranch) is Margaret Qualley. She's the daughter of Andie MacDowell. I'd recommend the TV show The Leftovers if you'd like to see her in something else. It's an excellent show and she has a pretty good supporting role in it.
You should stick Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America on your list guys, both are by Sergio Leone with Ennio Morricone providing two of the best soundtracks ever for a film. They're two of Tarantino's favourite movies and were the reason he called this movie what he did..
Great reaction, y'all. You didn't cut it up too much, and I genuinely enjoyed "hanging out" at the end. I've been enjoying dropping some "thanks" on some of my favorite creators, and you two certainly fit that bill! Go ahead & gimme a button!
My three favorite things in no particular order: - the sound effect of the woman taking a full can of dog food thrown at her face. The sound it made was brutal. - the FX for the street exteriors. The storefronts and the neon lights look astonishing. - the little girl method actress was my favorite.
They redressed several blocks of Hollywood Blvd. to look just the way it was in 1969. The signs and goods shown in store windows from the time period were as accurate as they could make it. I don't believe any FX was used on Hollywood Blvd.
If it's a Steve McQueen movie you're interested in, may I recommend The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Towering Inferno, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Sand Pebbles, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
I love Zoe Bell, and her cameo here is great - she's the lady complaining about her damaged car after the fight with Bruce. Zoe is the real deal, you'll remember her from Death Proof as the lady who rides on the hood of the car holding onto straps. I think it's a nice in-joke that the real stunt performer yells at the fake one for a dangerous stunt.
Great reaction guys! Tarantino has a wonderful take on this tragic story, I was completely surprised and in utter joy when I first saw this. If only... unfortunately the sadness of what really happened never goes away. I wish the song they used during the ending violence would have been the one that motivated Manson, 'Helter Skelter' from The Beatles' White Album.
One of the best examples of dramatic foreshadowing was when James Stacy(Timothy Olyphant) leaves the set of Lancer on his motorcycle. In real life Stacy had a horrible wreck on his bike where he lost a leg and an arm and that started a downward spiral in his life of crimes and prison. Also don't forget that was Bruce Dern playing George Spahn.
Fun fact: The actor who played as Charles Manson also played the same role in the TV series, Mindhunter. He looks exactly like Manson in that episode it's eerie, creepy, and amazing! I almost thought they brought in the man himself.
If you want more detail check out Tarantino's novelization of the film. you learn more about Cliff's experiences in the war, how he got his dog, and what happened with his wife. you also get a lot more in the relationship between Rick the little girl co-star, as well as what happens to Rick after the events of the movie.
Great reaction video to a great movie you two !!! Cliff Booth killing his wife is the Robert Wagner story where he gets off from being charged for killing Natalie Wood...allegelly. This was also Luke Perry's last movie. Also, George Spawn was to be played by Burt Reynolds but past away before filming began and was replaced by Bruce Dern. Fun Fact: Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, I went to the Van Nuys Drive-In numerous times. This was an exact replica of the Drive-In Theater in the movie, right down to the marque & the picture on the back side of the projector screen with the cabellero on his horse with the horse on its hind legs. It has since been demolished over ten years ago. Once again, great reaction video you two !!! Keep it going !!!
I don't usually like reaction videos at all, but you guys are nice to watch. I must have seen this movie a dozen times and the way it ends always makes me feel like good and sad at the same time. I love EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF THIS FILM. In 1968 when I was 8 years old my family moved to Southern California from the green hills of Pennsylvania. Everything in this movie takes me back to that time perfectly. The colors, the music on KHJ radio, everything.
Rick being a TV western star from cancelled series going to Italy to make what became known as spaghetti westerns mirrors Clint Eastwood’s career. Clint was on 50s TV show called Wagon Train that finally ran its course and ended. His spaghetti westerns made him a worldwide star, and a Hollywood staple for the next 50 years.
You guys should check out the companion novel Tarintino wrote. It goes into a lot more detail about the Western that Rick was in, as well as a bunch of backstory about Cliff. You'd like it I bet.
Excellent reaction as usual. The Great Escape is an absolute must for you guys. I would recommend that, prior to watching, you review the cast and get a brief filmology on each just to realize how packed this ensemble cast was.
This movie had one of my favorite satisfying endings. Love it. Also a classic Polanksi film: Repulsion and Rosemary Baby. A Steve McQueen movie to see will be Bullit and for Bruce Lee: Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.
He disowns that movie though and tried to take his name off it and says it totally lost the spirit of what he wanted to do with it. I read his original screenplay. He definitely had a different vision.
Great reaction, great channel. I was hysterical watching that alternate ending. If you're doing all things Tarantino...don't forget Planet Terror, the second half of the double feature film to Death Proof. Tarantino starred-in and produced Planet Terror. Typical over the top cartoon-like violence, horror, and comedy.
The gates opening in front of jay is so hauntingly sad and beautiful. sharon and him truly were angels, hands down the best part of the movie. i love them sm :,)
Steve McQueen / Captain Winter were played by Damian Lewis. For a Steve McQueen movie, I love The Great Escape! Bonus, it's stacked with stars and is based on a true story. For a Sinatra movie, you gotta see Ocean's 11. You get the whole Rat Pack! (I'd say Guys and Dolls, too, and On the Town, but they're musicals.)
Julia Butters was a star on the ABC sitcom "American Housewife" from 2016-2020. She was populsr for her wise beyond her years, often gothic and gallows humor. She was recast in the final season because the big screen, this film, came calling. She recently starred with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in Netflix's The Gray Man.
The girl that sells Cliff Booth the acid-dipped cigarette is the actress (Perla Haney-Jardine) that played The Bride’s daughter B.B. in Kill Bill. She’s not been in a ton of other things, but she’s been in a few other movies, like that Steve Jobs movie Danny Boyle did with Michael Fassbender; she plays the daughter of Steve Jobs in that movie.
This was definitely an unexpected story. I knew the movie was nominated for tons of awards and I only knew that they were actor and stuntman in the 70s. Didn't know the meaning of the title until the end and I loved that.
I Love this movie so much.... if I could rewrite history this way would be right up my alley . Your reactions and comments added a lot to enjoy.... Tarantino and his infamous feet fetish is adorably remarked on and I appreciate that . I would have loved to have been around during this time.... the cinema photography in this film takes me there and the appreciation you both share for this film really shows . This is an added bonus to my favorites list now . Thank you TBR& Sam
This movie is all the more enjoyable for those who recognize most of Tarantino's more obscure references, such as the names Andy McLaglen, Eddie O'Brien, Joanna Pettet, George Spahn, Sharon's house guests, Manson family members such as Squeaky, Clem, Gypsy, etc., and the Manson girls dumpster diving for food, aspects of the 60s Italian film industry, late 50s and early 60s television westerns, the Matt Helm films, and all the various guests at the Playboy mansion. And also to those of us for whom the Manson murders have felt like an old, unhealed wound since the night they occurred.
Frank Sinatra did a fair bit of acting and he was generally considered to be a good actor (as opposed to someone like Elvis) and he won a academy award for best supporting actor for From Here To Eternity. But it's something I think most people, even fans of the classics don't realize.
New here and to watching movie reviews but I am loving your videos. Not sure if this is how you make suggestions but I have some awesome finds if you are looking for a great rare find…The Last Boyscout with Bruce Willis, Empire Records a great coming of age movie and Career Opportunities. Looking forward to your upcoming releases.
The WIltshire Boulevard driving scene is phenomenal. The detail is bonkers. How they managed to dress up a major LA boulevard like that is just mind blowing.
Good Tarantino movie. Brad definitely earned that Oscar he won for this movie. Dolls (1987) The Crazies (2010) and Leprechaun (1993) are some horror movie recommendations for you both
Such a bittersweet ending. I was so used to every film/show depicting poor Sharon and the others brutal deaths that when I saw this at the cinema, my stomach was in a knot leading up to the end, then that happened. Me and my partner were just smiling and laughing, it was such a relief, but also sad as its what you wish would have happened in real life 😪
This and Jackie Brown are my favorite Tarantino films. I guess because they both deal with people getting older and philosophizing about about their worth in the world. The ending is incredibly sad because if only it had had this fairytale ending. Helter Skelter is the book you’ll want to read about the Manson murders. It’s one of the best true crime books and absolutely terrifying. The book that Sharon buys, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, was actually her favorite novel. Roman Polanski would go on to direct an adaptation of the novel, called Tess. After the beginning credits roll, it simply says: For Sharon.
What I love about the "if only" ending, isn't about anything the victims should have done or could have done- but very specifically that things could so easily have been otherwise.
Rick’s Cadillac is in real life Michael Madsen’s Cadillac and also the same Cadillac that he drives in Reservoir Dogs with the cop in the trunk. QT also worked with quite a few children of his past actors or fellow directors. The girl that Cliff buys the acid-laced cigarettes from is B.B. from Kill Bill while Uma Thurman’s real life daughter Maya Hawke from Stranger Things plays Flowerchild; Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer plays the movie theater girl they sells Sharon Tate her ticket; Kevin Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith plays Froggie. The actress that plays Sadie is also one of the killers in 5cream who also got shot then burned to death in that film.
Producers: Hey Quentin, what's the movie gonna be about? Tarantino: It's about an actor and his stuntman trying to find jobs in the changing world that is Hollywood. Producers: Ok and where is the good old Tarantino violence? Tarantino: I'm saving that for the end. You know kinda like Taxi Driver.
Your analysis about this being a character driven movie was spot on. Your the best movie reactors on You Tube in my opinion. Enjoy your vids very much.
Dean Martin's James Bond parody movies with the character of Matt Helm were very popular at the time. Sharon Tate made such an impression with Dean Martin that she was meant to be his co-star in the next MH movie. Her murder shook Dean Martin so much he stopped making any more Matt Helm movies. The final scene where Sharon Tate and her friends are standing in the courtyard and invite Leonardo into the house and they go in totally unaware on how close they came. It's sad because we know in real life their lives were tragically cut short in a brutal way.
Speaking of Roman Polanski movies I'd love if you guys reacted to Rosemary's Baby for your channel. One of the best psychological thriller/horror movies ever. Just in time for October
It’s been an awesome ride going through Tarantino’s films but there are still some remaining that we can’t wait to watch!
Thank you all for the support!
YOU FORGOT ABOUT PLANET TERROR ITS A QUENTIN/ROBERT RODRIGUEZ ZOMBIE HORROR/COMEDY ITS AMAZING!!!!!!

The fact that Rick went and got the flame thrower with no context to what had happened up to then makes me laugh every time.

The whole Cliff Booth killing his wife subplot was a riff on the Robert Wagner/Natalie Wood rumors. And Burt Reynolds was going to play George Spahn, but he died a short time before filming started
Speaking of Burt Reynolds, the TV show Rick & Cliff are watching was Burt's TV debut, and he was who Rick was playing (the shotgun hitman).
In the book version, Cliff does kill his wife. He did regret it instantly.
the last part with Sharon Tate and everyone who didn't die is so sweet and sad. Tarantino respectfully told that story and gave a bit of poetic revenge, but fictitious at the end of the day.

Such a generous "what if," giving Ms. Tate her moment to enjoy how her performance in The Wrecking Crew went down with a real audience and then ultimately sparing her (and her baby's) life.

Wold even argue Django is as well.
"I'm the devil and I'm here to do the devil's business."
"Nah, it was dumber than that."
RIP Sharon, Voytek, Abigail, Jay, Stephen, Leno and Rosemary, and thank you Quentin for giving us this fleeting glance at what could have been.
QT's attention to detail in this movie is insane. The Manson girls dumpster diving, the Spahn Ranch, the driving through the streets of LA, Manson visiting the house in an ice cream truck were all based on real events. Even the cars in the Polanski driveway were the exact colors as real life. And so many more. Many consider this as QT's love letter to LA. Very cool.
I wish he'd left in the scene with Manson coming to talk to the guy in the door (it's in the DVD extras), there's very little actual Manson character stuff in the movie I guess very deliberately so but it's a good scene that would've fit well into the final film (where Pitt watches from the roof). Oh well, maybe there'll be a director's cut one day if he does that sort of thing.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Yeah, I guess people who want even more Damon Herriman as Charles Manson beyond that deleted scene will just have to watch season two of Mindhunter on Netflix.
I did see Tarantino talking about a possible longer cut of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood maybe even in series format for Netflix like he did with The Hateful Eight. However this was back when the film had just released so I guess nothing ever came of it.
The Hateful Eight is almost an hour longer in the series format. He did mention that the first cut of Once Upon a time in Hollywood was also around 4 hours before they cut large chunks including a character played by Tim Roth who was completely removed from the film.

Not just saved Sharon Tate. But everyone in that house. It makes the ending even more haunting.
Why haunting?

And the LaBiancas.

The Manson Murders are sometimes seen as the death of the Hollywood's Golden Age (it wasn't really, it was just a symptom) and Tarantino has often spoken on how much he loved that image of Hollywood. By killing the Mansons, Tarantino saves the version of Hollywood he loves.
"The hippies aren't." is one of the funniest lines ever.
It was definitely the death of the Hippie movement.
If anything, the Manson Murders only marked the death of the naive dream of peace & love, Altamont being another nail in the coffin. As far as Old Hollywood goes, it already died way before that, simply because it had gotten frumpy and stopped being relevant. By 1969, New Hollywood was already well underway, with Polanski being one of its main representatives btw. A new type of film language, narrative and new ways of storytelling were finding their way, inspired by the French New Wave, Italian neorealism and world cinema, by filmmakers such as Fellini, Bergman or Kurosawa. New types of actors, the Al Pacinos and Dustin Hoffmanns were replacing the John Waynes and Gary Coopers. The old studio system driven by powerful producers like Selznick was replaced by the new age of auteur filmmaking, which itself gave way to modern independent cinema, one of whose most prominent representatives being - you guessed it - Tarantino. So when you think of it, that statement of his is not without a certain irony, is it?
@@mondegreen9709 Yep. "Summer of love" ended and 70's arrived.
IMO, Manson and Altamont wasn't the death of peace and love, it just exposed the underbelly of it. Those incidents just exposed the harsh reality that nothing is a perfect utopia.
"Nah, it was dumber than that," was pretty damn funny, too.
Incredible cast, great performances.
And the flamethrower at the end makes everyone smile.
I think the flamethrower was supposed to be in "Inglorious Basterds", but Tarantino left it out for some weird reason. That shows how intricate of a writer he is.
There were quite a few things in this film that made me smile, but gratuitous violence doesn't. There's too much of that in real life already imo. Makes me cringe at best. There's a thin line between justice and self righteousness.
@@mondegreen9709 Don't look up torture methods in the Middle Ages because most of what happens today is tame.
@@parker469a Oh, don't worry about that, mate. The way things are going, we'll be getting back to the Middle Ages soon enough.
@@mondegreen9709 You really think we are going back to being strapped down and having intestines removed slowly with a hand crank torture device?
the ending always makes me weep. sharon's voice through the speaker...what could have been. QT's sincere melancholy and empathy for Sharon and the rest is so deeply felt.
Rick bashing about his own bad acting is ironically some of the best acting I've ever seen, Leo is the man!
Once upon a time in Hollywood is probably the only film to truly nail the best adult male friendship dynamic accurately.
That line “more than a brother but a little less than a wife” is perfect
But to help
When Out of Time played in the theater I started to cry because of the knowledge about the real life events. Tarantino really knows what to pick for his movies.
Baby baby baby you’re out of time… chills everytime it comes on 😢
The Rolling Stones
Out of Time with Denzel?
Two top-notch Frank Sinatra films, The Manchuria Candidate (1962) and From Here to Eternity (1953), do not disappoint. They are very different films and I’d probably start with The Manchurian Candidate. It’s a psychological thriller that was ahead of its time. Thanks for the fun reaction! 💜✌️
One movie I really liked Frank Sinatra in was called the Devil at 4 o'clock. Spencer Tracy was also in it a real good movie.
"From Here to Eternity," as I'm sure you know, became a part of Hollywood history in "The Godfather." The character of Johnny Fontaine, the singer who wanted the Godfather to help him get a movie role, represented Sinatra, who actually won an Academy Award for his role in "Here to Eternity." I've always thought that Sinatra was, just maybe, as good an actor as a singer.
I'm a huge fan of 'Von Ryan's Express.' Great flick.
The Man with the Golden Arm is pretty great too. And of course, the original Ocean’s 11
Excellent movie Laurence Hervey is great in it.
21:45/ Sad piece of trivia... Burt Reynolds was originally set to play George Spahn. He died before filming for his scenes commenced. In his place, the great Bruce Dern, yup - Laura Dern's papa, played old man Spahn.
Also sad to know this was the final film appearance of Luke Perry. Grim Reaper was definitely busy around this project...❤
I've been waiting for this. What a great, surprising film. To boldly just go with such an "If Only" rewrite of history; it was so unexpected. I loved it. Let's see how ya'll take it. Here we go!
You’re right the movie provides a goldmine of people whose filmographies are worth exploring. Some suggestions:
Roman Polanski has made many fine films (Knife in the Water, Tess, The Tenant, The Ghost Writer) but his two essentials are Rosemary’s Baby & Chinatown.
Same for Steve McQueen, some of his more famous are-Bullitt, The Great Escape, The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Towering Inferno, Love with the Proper Stranger.
Frank Sinatra had a very varied career that included musicals as well as dramas and comedies. Some of his best-From Here to Eternity (he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this and it’s an excellent film alongside his contribution), The Manchurian Candidate, High Society, Some Came Running.
Enter the Dragon is definitely Bruce Lee’s best-known film and the best place to start with him.
In the scene where Margot Robbie is watching the film in the theatre that is the actual Sharon Tate in the movie “The Wrecking Crew.” Sharon was a rising star, and a gifted comedienne, but did not have the chance to appear in any classics. The Wrecking Crew is a VERY 60’s James Bond spy spoof with Dean Martin that is a pleasant time passer, but it does contain Sharon’s best comic performance. It was also the last of her films released in her lifetime and garnered her strong reviews. Most of her other films are middling, and then there’s the infamous so bad its good Valley of the Dolls, but Eye of the Devil is interesting. There is also a feature short called “All Eyes on Sharon Tate” that was intended as a piece of publicity but now is a fascinating glimpse of the actual woman. I do believe it’s available on TH-cam.
The alternate ending is incredibly bittersweet. During the publicity tour for the film Tarantino spoke about how he became enchanted by the real Sharon Tate, who was well-known to be an exceedingly kind, down to earth person, and wanted to restore some dignity to her and give her an identity outside of murder victim.
I was very young when the Manson murders happened, but I do remember them. It was a huge story, with Sharon being a rising star married to uber hot director Roman Polanski (he was in Europe finishing up a film and was scheduled to return within a week to be home for the birth of their son), one of the other victims being Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folger Coffee fortune and the many other Hollywood connections involved (for instance record producer Terry Melcher-the person who the Polanskis were renting the house from, and who Manson held a spite for, was the son of Doris Day) plus the brutality and the fact that once captured the trials spread over several years. The fate Tarantino dealt out to the Manson scum was very satisfying.
I appreciate the overall film; the look and performances are aces but having seen it once I have no desire to revisit it.
I love the history revision, how it played out. The real story is horrific & knowing about it is needed to truly appreciate this movie. I think my favorite Steve McQueen movies are Bullitt, the very long Papillon & The Great Escape.
Bulllit, my favorite Steve McQueen too. Shame on me for forgetting about Papillon.
Huh. I'll make the effort to see Bullitt. Love the other two.
La Mans...
@@Unwoken_European Oh yeah!
Wanted Dead or Alive is one of my favorite Western TV Shows that's what QT want Leo's show bounty Law to represent lots of parallels with McQueen's Career in this Movie
"The Great Escape" for a Steve McQueen film. It's a well liked classic.
^^^
That one and Bullitt are two must-see films.
Not just for McQueen either. It is a who's who of actor from the early 60s, British especially.
Chad (Dutch) McQueen dad.
The films entire build up to that ending is pure magic. Tarantino's best ending and his brilliant ability to build tension.
Something to possibly look into, Steve McQueen - The Great Escape, Roman Polanski - The Pianist. Love your channel, keep up the great work 👍
Funny fact: the hippie girl that sold the cigarette to Ciff is played by the same actress (Perla Haney-Jardine) that played Uma Thurman's daughter in Kill Bill.
Ah always wondered if that was her
And Uma's actual daughter, Maya Hawke, is in this too lol
The little girl that was in the "western movie" is Julia Butters. She is awesome. She was in a TV show called American Housewife playing the youngest child. Quenton saw her and picked her personally for the part in his movie.
I was so mad when they replaced Anna Cat.
Julia should have been Oscar nominated here.
@@Madbandit77 Agreed. She was fantastic.
Her character is supposedly based on Jodie Foster who started out as a child actress on western shows.
She was just in The Gray Man on Netflix as well
Fun Fact: The scene between Cliff Booth and Bruce Lee was inspired by an actual incident that occurred on the set of The Green Hornet between stunt coordinator Bennie Dobbins and Bruce Lee due to Lee constantly hitting stuntmen during fight scenes, which resulted in Dobbins hiring Judo master and stuntman Gene LeBell to attempt to rein Bruce in and stop him from accidentally injuring stuntmen.
Which according to Gene, he most certainly did. And changed Bruce's outlook on life a bit lol.
@@mantism.d.8363 Well, they didn't call him "Judo" Gene Lebell for nothing ;)
That whole story is bs. Gene loves telling fantasies
@@wolfcorpse This isn't just according to Gene, this is according to Bennie Dobson and actor Van Williams.
@@44excalibur it's been debunked by other stunt coordinators
According to the backstory written by Quentin Tarantino, Cliff Booth was a World War II hero who later joined the Special Forces and became a Green Beret in the 1950s, and was an expert in weapons and martial arts, hence his ability to fight Bruce Lee to a draw.
Apparently, he was also the son of Aldo raine (inglorious basterds) and the father of Floyd (true romance)
This is probably my favorite Tarantino directed movie followed by Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight. I really enjoyed the reaction and glad that you were able to get some background on Manson and his followers before you watched the movie. Some other reactors didn't have that knowledge going in so they lost the emotional impact of the ending with Sharon Tate and the baby surviving.
A few things: Dakota Fanning was portraying Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, who later would try to assassinate President Gerald Ford.
The "Terry" that Manson was looking for when he came to the Polanski/Tate house was Terry Melcher, a music producer and also the son of Doris Day. Manson had been to the house previously for parties when Melcher lived there with his girlfriend Candice Bergen and was trying to get a music contract. They moved out and the owner of the house rented it to Roman Polanski.
Terry Melcher produced Paul Revere And The Raiders, who Margot was dancing to in her bedroom.
If you're interested in the films of Roman Polanski, the two films that made his career in Hollywood were Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown.
Frantic
Ghost writers.
He might be creep but he know how to make a movies
One of his recent films The Pianist is excellent. It’s on par with Schindler’s List. Polish Jewish pianist in Warsaw during the Holocaust.
@@dan2007kohn it was like 20 years ago lol not too recent
I loved hearing your thoughts at the end. I do agree this movie is a love letter to "Hollywood"/movies, and we experience different aspects of it in each character. I love it.
My favorite QT movie. Love your reaction. This movie is such a touchstone for Hollywood in the late 1960s. When I saw this in a theater, I turned to my friend about halfway through and said 'this is the most satisfying movie ever.'
Great reaction! This might be my favorite Tarantino film. And yes, it really is a bit of a sad ending knowing how things played out in real life. The actor who played Pussycat (the girl that had Brad Pitt drive her to the Manson ranch) is Margaret Qualley. She's the daughter of Andie MacDowell. I'd recommend the TV show The Leftovers if you'd like to see her in something else. It's an excellent show and she has a pretty good supporting role in it.
You should stick Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America on your list guys, both are by Sergio Leone with Ennio Morricone providing two of the best soundtracks ever for a film. They're two of Tarantino's favourite movies and were the reason he called this movie what he did..
Yes, "Once upon a Time in the West" is a love letter my Leone to the Western Genre and
Morricone's score is wonderful
Best films I've ever seen, especially "...America".
And Robert Rodriguez also borrowed the title for "Once Upon A Time In Mexico". As well as Jet Li with "Once Upon A Time In China".
Great reaction, y'all. You didn't cut it up too much, and I genuinely enjoyed "hanging out" at the end.
I've been enjoying dropping some "thanks" on some of my favorite creators, and you two certainly fit that bill!
Go ahead & gimme a button!
My three favorite things in no particular order:
- the sound effect of the woman taking a full can of dog food thrown at her face. The sound it made was brutal.
- the FX for the street exteriors. The storefronts and the neon lights look astonishing.
- the little girl method actress was my favorite.
They redressed several blocks of Hollywood Blvd. to look just the way it was in 1969. The signs and goods shown in store windows from the time period were as accurate as they could make it. I don't believe any FX was used on Hollywood Blvd.
"Who's the narrator?"
That's Kurt Russell, who also plays stunt coordinator Randy Lloyd.
If it's a Steve McQueen movie you're interested in, may I recommend The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Towering Inferno, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Sand Pebbles, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Don't forget Nevada Smith and the Magnificent Seven and Papillon.
Papillon,and Lemans too.
And Wanted Dead or Alive the show that Ricky Daltons show and Career is loosely based on even though Steve McQueen is in the movie.
They actually filmed this movie at the studios I work at! Was fortunate enough to see the cast and be on some of the sets
I love Zoe Bell, and her cameo here is great - she's the lady complaining about her damaged car after the fight with Bruce. Zoe is the real deal, you'll remember her from Death Proof as the lady who rides on the hood of the car holding onto straps. I think it's a nice in-joke that the real stunt performer yells at the fake one for a dangerous stunt.
Great reaction guys! Tarantino has a wonderful take on this tragic story, I was completely surprised and in utter joy when I first saw this. If only... unfortunately the sadness of what really happened never goes away. I wish the song they used during the ending violence would have been the one that motivated Manson, 'Helter Skelter' from The Beatles' White Album.
One of the best examples of dramatic foreshadowing was when James Stacy(Timothy Olyphant) leaves the set of Lancer on his motorcycle. In real life Stacy had a horrible wreck on his bike where he lost a leg and an arm and that started a downward spiral in his life of crimes and prison. Also don't forget that was Bruce Dern playing George Spahn.
Fun fact: The actor who played as Charles Manson also played the same role in the TV series, Mindhunter. He looks exactly like Manson in that episode it's eerie, creepy, and amazing! I almost thought they brought in the man himself.
Damon Herriman is the guy.
I dont think its the same guy.
If you want more detail check out Tarantino's novelization of the film. you learn more about Cliff's experiences in the war, how he got his dog, and what happened with his wife. you also get a lot more in the relationship between Rick the little girl co-star, as well as what happens to Rick after the events of the movie.
Great reaction video to a great movie you two !!! Cliff Booth killing his wife is the Robert Wagner story where he gets off from being charged for killing Natalie Wood...allegelly. This was also Luke Perry's last movie. Also, George Spawn was to be played by Burt Reynolds but past away before filming began and was replaced by Bruce Dern. Fun Fact: Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, I went to the Van Nuys Drive-In numerous times. This was an exact replica of the Drive-In Theater in the movie, right down to the marque & the picture on the back side of the projector screen with the cabellero on his horse with the horse on its hind legs. It has since been demolished over ten years ago. Once again, great reaction video you two !!! Keep it going !!!
Feels like I'm sitting down with friends when I watch you both... Love you calming music to open and close reactions 👍
I don't usually like reaction videos at all, but you guys are nice to watch. I must have seen this movie a dozen times and the way it ends always makes me feel like good and sad at the same time. I love EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF THIS FILM. In 1968 when I was 8 years old my family moved to Southern California from the green hills of Pennsylvania. Everything in this movie takes me back to that time perfectly. The colors, the music on KHJ radio, everything.
Rick being a TV western star from cancelled series going to Italy to make what became known as spaghetti westerns mirrors Clint Eastwood’s career. Clint was on 50s TV show called Wagon Train that finally ran its course and ended. His spaghetti westerns made him a worldwide star, and a Hollywood staple for the next 50 years.
Greg Sparkman, The show Eastwood was in was Rawhide, not Wagon Train.
@@mitchellmelkin4078 My memory for trivia isn’t what it used to be.
You guys should check out the companion novel Tarintino wrote. It goes into a lot more detail about the Western that Rick was in, as well as a bunch of backstory about Cliff. You'd like it I bet.
You do need to see The Great Escape! My mom’s favorite movie.
Excellent reaction as usual. The Great Escape is an absolute must for you guys. I would recommend that, prior to watching, you review the cast and get a brief filmology on each just to realize how packed this ensemble cast was.
This movie had one of my favorite satisfying endings. Love it. Also a classic Polanksi film: Repulsion and Rosemary Baby. A Steve McQueen movie to see will be Bullit and for Bruce Lee: Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.
I'd forgotten this was Luke Perry's last feature film R.I.P.
He also wrote Natural Born Killers, directed by Oliver Stone. Highly recommend.
He disowns that movie though and tried to take his name off it and says it totally lost the spirit of what he wanted to do with it. I read his original screenplay. He definitely had a different vision.
Stephen King hated Kubrick’s The Shining and for the same reason. Nevertheless, it’s still an amazing film.
@@shiner6523 King also hated the adaptation of Cujo, but oddly enough loved the adaptation of the Mist.
@@shiner6523 didn't say it wasn't
NBK is okay but it's far from being Stone's best work.
The ending when you hear Sharon’s voice checking in on Rick and realize Sharon is safe, always gets me in the feels
Why it didn't happening ?
@@lexkanyima2195 bc you know it didn’t happen in real life but in the movie she’s safe
GREAT MOVIE MADE BY A GREAT DIRECTOR🔥💯👌
Such a hoot
Robbie with Leo again 😂
Might be my favorite Tarantino. Such a beautiful love letter to classic Hollywood.
Great reaction, great channel. I was hysterical watching that alternate ending. If you're doing all things Tarantino...don't forget Planet Terror, the second half of the double feature film to Death Proof. Tarantino starred-in and produced Planet Terror. Typical over the top cartoon-like violence, horror, and comedy.
The gates opening in front of jay is so hauntingly sad and beautiful. sharon and him truly were angels, hands down the best part of the movie. i love them sm :,)
Steve McQueen / Captain Winter were played by Damian Lewis.
For a Steve McQueen movie, I love The Great Escape! Bonus, it's stacked with stars and is based on a true story.
For a Sinatra movie, you gotta see Ocean's 11. You get the whole Rat Pack! (I'd say Guys and Dolls, too, and On the Town, but they're musicals.)
Steve McQueen wasn't in Cool Hand Luke, it was Paul Newman.
@@giannag4581 Oh you’re right! Thanks! (Gonna edit that out.) Great movie though!
Wolf of Wall Street also has Leo and Margot Robbie. Definitely worth a watch.
Julia Butters was a star on the ABC sitcom "American Housewife" from 2016-2020. She was populsr for her wise beyond her years, often gothic and gallows humor. She was recast in the final season because the big screen, this film, came calling. She recently starred with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in Netflix's The Gray Man.
Great job, a lot of the younger people who have reacted to this movie had zero idea of the context.
One of my favorites of his , maybe Once upon a time in the west will happen soon! It’s a western opera , thanks again
The girl that sells Cliff Booth the acid-dipped cigarette is the actress (Perla Haney-Jardine) that played The Bride’s daughter B.B. in Kill Bill. She’s not been in a ton of other things, but she’s been in a few other movies, like that Steve Jobs movie Danny Boyle did with Michael Fassbender; she plays the daughter of Steve Jobs in that movie.
Two highly recommended Polanski movies would be 'Chinatown' & 'The Pianist'.
The little girl that played B.B. in Kill Bill is the same girl that sells Cliff the acid dipped cigarette.
This was definitely an unexpected story. I knew the movie was nominated for tons of awards and I only knew that they were actor and stuntman in the 70s. Didn't know the meaning of the title until the end and I loved that.
the girl that offers Brad Pitt the cigarette dipped in acid is the actress who played uma Thurmans daughter in Kill Bill
I Love this movie so much.... if I could rewrite history this way would be right up my alley . Your reactions and comments added a lot to enjoy.... Tarantino and his infamous feet fetish is adorably remarked on and I appreciate that . I would have loved to have been around during this time.... the cinema photography in this film takes me there and the appreciation you both share for this film really shows . This is an added bonus to my favorites list now . Thank you TBR& Sam
This movie is all the more enjoyable for those who recognize most of Tarantino's more obscure references, such as the names Andy McLaglen, Eddie O'Brien, Joanna Pettet, George Spahn, Sharon's house guests, Manson family members such as Squeaky, Clem, Gypsy, etc., and the Manson girls dumpster diving for food, aspects of the 60s Italian film industry, late 50s and early 60s television westerns, the Matt Helm films, and all the various guests at the Playboy mansion. And also to those of us for whom the Manson murders have felt like an old, unhealed wound since the night they occurred.
Omg, you guys TOTALLY have to do Rosemary's Baby now --- just in time for Halloween!!!
I've been waiting for this reaction all week I know you guys are going to love it
Frank Sinatra did a fair bit of acting and he was generally considered to be a good actor (as opposed to someone like Elvis) and he won a academy award for best supporting actor for From Here To Eternity.
But it's something I think most people, even fans of the classics don't realize.
Wow such a great reaction!
Love that it gave you so many movies to want to see!
The third act of this movie is crazy 😜
New here and to watching movie reviews but I am loving your videos. Not sure if this is how you make suggestions but I have some awesome finds if you are looking for a great rare find…The Last Boyscout with Bruce Willis, Empire Records a great coming of age movie and Career Opportunities. Looking forward to your upcoming releases.
I think this was the most 'surprising' and jaw dropping movie of 2019. The Bruce Lee scene and the ending scene are amazing.
The WIltshire Boulevard driving scene is phenomenal. The detail is bonkers. How they managed to dress up a major LA boulevard like that is just mind blowing.
Good Tarantino movie. Brad definitely earned that Oscar he won for this movie. Dolls (1987) The Crazies (2010) and Leprechaun (1993) are some horror movie recommendations for you both
I remember watching that epic, cathartic ending for the first time, with the audience screaming its head off!
Actually my favorite Tarantino movie.
Such a bittersweet ending. I was so used to every film/show depicting poor Sharon and the others brutal deaths that when I saw this at the cinema, my stomach was in a knot leading up to the end, then that happened. Me and my partner were just smiling and laughing, it was such a relief, but also sad as its what you wish would have happened in real life 😪
Quentin Tarantino is on fire with one another great film, cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both take care
23:01 -- the hippie who sold Cliff the acid-dipped cigarette was Perla Haney-Jardine (she was B.B. in Kill Bill)
This and Jackie Brown are my favorite Tarantino films. I guess because they both deal with people getting older and philosophizing about about their worth in the world. The ending is incredibly sad because if only it had had this fairytale ending. Helter Skelter is the book you’ll want to read about the Manson murders. It’s one of the best true crime books and absolutely terrifying. The book that Sharon buys, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, was actually her favorite novel. Roman Polanski would go on to direct an adaptation of the novel, called Tess. After the beginning credits roll, it simply says: For Sharon.
What I love about the "if only" ending, isn't about anything the victims should have done or could have done- but very specifically that things could so easily have been otherwise.
The Pianist by Polanski is a great movie you should consider putting on your list.
Oh, my gosh, yes! And "The Fearless Vampire Killers", too!
Rick’s Cadillac is in real life Michael Madsen’s Cadillac and also the same Cadillac that he drives in Reservoir Dogs with the cop in the trunk. QT also worked with quite a few children of his past actors or fellow directors. The girl that Cliff buys the acid-laced cigarettes from is B.B. from Kill Bill while Uma Thurman’s real life daughter Maya Hawke from Stranger Things plays Flowerchild; Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer plays the movie theater girl they sells Sharon Tate her ticket; Kevin Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith plays Froggie. The actress that plays Sadie is also one of the killers in 5cream who also got shot then burned to death in that film.
I was waiting for the final installment of the Tarantinothon (until his next movie)! 😁
Producers: Hey Quentin, what's the movie gonna be about?
Tarantino: It's about an actor and his stuntman trying to find jobs in the changing world that is Hollywood.
Producers: Ok and where is the good old Tarantino violence?
Tarantino: I'm saving that for the end. You know kinda like Taxi Driver.
23:01 BB from Kill Bill: Vol 2.
Your analysis about this being a character driven movie was spot on. Your the best movie reactors on You Tube in my opinion. Enjoy your vids very much.
Dean Martin's James Bond parody movies with the character of Matt Helm were very popular at the time. Sharon Tate made such an impression with Dean Martin that she was meant to be his co-star in the next MH movie. Her murder shook Dean Martin so much he stopped making any more Matt Helm movies. The final scene where Sharon Tate and her friends are standing in the courtyard and invite Leonardo into the house and they go in totally unaware on how close they came. It's sad because we know in real life their lives were tragically cut short in a brutal way.
Yup, it was a total character study..and so well executed…. Glad u guys got it….. perfect reaction champs!
Speaking of Roman Polanski movies I'd love if you guys reacted to Rosemary's Baby for your channel. One of the best psychological thriller/horror movies ever. Just in time for October
Don't know if you guys noticed but the girl at 23:00 was BB from Kill Bill all grown up.
