Sharon Tate is MUCH more famous because of her famous killing.. She was a bit player actress... very beautiful . The star of Valley of the Dolls was Patty Duke not Tate and Tate played a minor role as the asistant to Miss Hathaway in Bev Hillbillies.... few people outside HWood knew who she was.... she probably married Polanski to further her career... it is clear RP did not want kids and she did not tell him she was pregnant until the 4th month.. when he could not ask her to get an abortion.. ALL IS NOT WHAT THE MEDIA TELLS YOU IT IS.. DIG FOR INFO....
These guys totally missed the murdered wife on the boat reference. It had nothing to do with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it's a reference to Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood (who drowned to death after getting drunk and having a fight with her husband. The womans name was Natalie how more obvious do they need to be?
So Tarantino is no better than the masses that come here and make up shit comments? Except he has Hollywood willing and able to help him rewrite perceived wrongs. That's some serious butthurt.
With Cliff Booth, Tarantino may have also been trying to invoke Shorty Shea, who was one of the Manson Family's first victims. Shorty Shea was a stuntman & an employee/friend of George Spahn, just like Cliff is friend of Spahn's from his previous stuntman work. Shea worked at the Spahn Ranch with the Manson Family and had a few fights where he beat up people from the Manson Family, but the Family eventually got to him & tortured him to death. One of Shea's murderers was "Clem" Grogan. Clem is also the name of the hippie who sticks a knife in Cliff's tire & gets beat up by Cliff.
Yep! Shorty Shea stayed on my mind the whole time I watched ... especially when 'Cliff' beat the living shit out of him, ... and then beat the shit out of him some more, and some more. All while humiliating him in front of his beloved fem family! Nice touch.
If Burt Reynolds hadn't so unfortunately passed away at the time he did, think about it Quentin could've had a real trippy kind of thing going in the production. Some other younger actor playing the character of "actor Burt Reynolds" in 1969 doing whatever (doubt it woulda been much more than what they had Lewis-as-McQueen doing in this), and then the legend himself Mr Reynolds playing the character of old George Spahn out on the ranch.
i'm not sure if people caught this but Tarantino really made this film for fans that would get certain quick scenes that everyone will miss. When Olyphant playing James Stacy drives off the set he does so in a motorcycle. The real Stacy would later lose his left arm and leg in a motorcycle accident.
He is the reason that bartenders won't/cannot serve you if you're obviously drunk. Stacy sued his bartender and bar owner, laws were written holding bartenders legally responsible for serving drunks.
James Stacy had a warped life, in 1995 he was arrested for molesting a 11 year old girl. They were going to give him probation but found out he was caught prowling at 2 underage young girl before the deal was signed and got six years. So Olyphant played a child molester.
It needs a guide or handbook it's such a big movie with so many Easter eggs that took place a long time ago where most of the audience has to research to know of the events.

The character "Pussycat" getting picked up as a hitchhiker and bringing Cliff back to the ranch is very likely a reference to when Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys picked up Manson members Patricia Krenwinkel and and Ella Jo Bailey. The depiction of Sharon Tate is NOT controversial in any way except to SJWs who don't like that Tarantino writes strong female characters the way HE wants them to be written.
Who's said Sharon's portrayal was controversial? It's the first time ive seen her portayed like a normal girl on the verge of hollywood stardom. It was affectionate on the part of Tarantino
I likened DiCaprio and Pitt to Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham. Reynolds made the transition from tv to movies. Needham was his stuntman/roommate/best friend.
This movie is gold,turned into a bronze rainbow,it's really freaking good,better then,kill bill vol2,Jackie brown ,hateful 8,djanjo unchained,and hateful 8. It's 5th,behind,pulp fiction,kill bill vol1,res dogs,inglorious bastards and thisfucking great film.robp
I was thinking that as I watched the movie. Hal covered Burt's ass and Burt helped Hal begin his directing career by agreeing to star in the low budget, drive in movie, "Smokey and the Bandit". Tarantino apparently had Reynolds in mind to play George Spahn (whom, he probably knew) and even had him at the first table reading of the script, but then Burt became to ill and passed away.
Pussycat was definitely a combo of real Manson girls.Two of his girls hitched a ride with Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys and that led to Manson's introduction to Terry Melcher.There was also a girl at the ranch named Kitty.
@@joinjen3854 Tell me, exactly which commercial for this movie is it that says that it's a historical documentary? Or are you just another SJW that's looking to be outraged so you can lecture everyone about what's right and wrong?
I was ten years old in 1969, but everyone was shocked by these murders. QT did a great job of portraying the times. I watched the movie dreading the horrific end for Sharon Tate. The alternative ending was so satisfying because it's what a lot of people wished would have happened. QT did a great job portraying Sharon Tate as the sweet, innocent victim makes the ending all the more satisfying.
Weeks after seeing this film I am still haunted and fascinated by everything about it. Whereas it's fun to analyze and dissect certain scenes and characters it needs to be taken as a whole. This movie totally blew my mind and I can't stop thinking about it, I think Tarantino is some kind of wizard, he is certainly a master film maker.
I know. For me, she was the "fairy tale" version of a child actor, i.e. someone smart and hard working and who was respected and protected by her coworkers. Real child actors all too often wound up exploited and raped.
Trudy is a fictional character that is believed to be an amalgam of two real life portrayals. The first being Eve Plumb's Pony Alice on a episode of Lancer called "The Heart of Pony Alice". You might be more familiar of Eve's work on the Brady Bunch where she played Jan Brady. The other being Jodie Foster's Marieann on Gunsmoke circa 1969.
@@richardwelsh9577Trudi Frasier (sic) as a combo of Eve Plumb and Jodie Foster, hmm? I read about her being based on Jodie Foster, somewhere, although I can't remember where (Personally, I still think Julia Butters looks like a pre-teen Danielle Panabaker, but there weren't too many actresses from that period who are reminiscent of either of them). But thanks for the specifics on the real-life Lancer episode, though.
I've heard several stories about what Bruce Lee was like during that time. They tended to be either "nice guy" or "total jerk" stories, but two things were certain: Hollywood didn't give him nearly as many acting breaks as they should have and Bruce eventually did go back to Hong Kong and became a superstar in Chinese films.
I did not. I felt it did a disservice to the horror that happened to her. It wasn't "provocative" , it was dangerously rewriting history for the ignorant. No doubt Tarantino loved her and humanizing her life prior to the murder is fine....but the ending of that movie was potentially dangerous to the understanding of history.
tarrantino problem is that he is a no skills pretentious bum.And yet everybody fights over which ass cheek they are going to kiss first.When he releases his silly movies.
My thought on what happens to Rick Dalton after this movie: he becomes fast friends with Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, and he ends up starring in "Chinatown" instead of Jack Nicholson.
@@Thespeedrap I think Huston starred as the old rich guy at the end at the orange farm. Been a long time since I've seen it. But Polanksi definitely wrote and directed it.
@@Thespeedrap Polanski directed the movie. John Huston was one of the actors in it. He played the father of Faye Dunaway's character. Polanski himself had a small part in the movie.
The Sharon Tate character development had unusual things happening which I have not seen in any other movie ever. You already know how her character ends, before it ends. So, when you watch her scenes it's all interpreted as foreshadowing. So it's that much more sad to see her that happy and know she's going to lose it. Or it's that much more disappointing to watch her not be recognized in her films because you know what she's known for. And then when you see that group of hippies, you know what's coming...and then you don't, and it's awesome, and it's really completely unexpected. Expectations subverted, yet in a way where you're not disappointed because the ending is happy and the reality was not happy. It's a proper fairy tale set in Hollywood.
For me, Tarantino really humanized Sharon Tate. Before she had been a headline, a news story, a tale of Hollywood lore, but his depiction of her really sparkles throughout this film. Though I get sad at the ending, knowing what happened up that driveway that night, I am glad he didn't whack her out, and gave her the sweetness she deserved.
Excellent work, guys! The amount of detail Quentin put into this film and the accuracy to the Manson case was extraordinary! I live in Hollywood and was on the sidewalk the night they shot the Hollywood Blvd scenes.
I work around the corner from where the "Pandora's Box" scene was. A couple years ago I was having lunch at the Good Greek Grill on Yucca and a couple people pointed out Tarantino was across the street. And there he was, walking around the block with the location scouts. I also saw the Hollywood Blvd scenes being filmed.
Guys, descent review but, why is it so hard for everyone to see the boat scene where brad (cliff) May have killed his wife is a reference to Robert Wagner and Natalie wood. Her name is “Natalie” in the movie...
The scene where Manson visits the Polanski and Tate's house asking for Terry, while Cliff fixes the antenna, actually happened. Manson had been there before.
That scene was pure fiction in that Manson learns that Terry Milcher no longer lives at the house and instead Sharon Tate. Milcher was a record producer who declined to sign Manson to a record deal. Manson purposely sent his followers to the house to kill Milcher in an act of revenge, but didn't know that he no longer lived at the house.
Steve Mcqueen: After 1974 he wasn't seen on the silver screen until 1978 in a movie called "An Enemy of The People " the first of three box office flops . He's been dead since 1980 . Over forty years He's still being talked about ,still influencing generations of actors. Terrence Steven McQueen March 24 ,1930 - November 7, 1980.
I saw this movie as Quentin's "love letter" to the Hollywood he fell in love with at a very young age. Personally I love that in his movie universe he saves the life of Sharon Tate and brutally punishes the deranged cult members who irl took her life.
I love alternative history anyway but watching one of the monsters who tortured and murdered a pregnant get beaten, eaten and burned in this version was satisfying. I think we all wished they had entered the wrong house that night, a house that could fight back.
Loved this interview and answered a good number of questions I had about the movie! The movie is nostalgic for me as I was 16 at the time of the Cieollo event. I have never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie in it's entirety in a theater. Loved the sound track and the characters, I have even ridden horses in the Canyons of LA as a tourist and driven on those roads in the canyons which are treacherous. Also, a military brat and recall the photo that showcased Sharon Tate in Italy in the Stars and Stripes that led to her fame. Most of the other people in the theater were in their 60's and we all had a blast and laughed uproariously at some of the outrageous events!
I went with my folks (in their 50s) and there were many older folks in the theater as well. I had to take a second to notice how surreal it was for myself, my folks, and all of these other people to be laughing hysterically at this ultra violence on the screen in front of us 😂😂😂. It was just so interesting in the moment, probably the most memorable theater moment I’ve had.
i was going to say the same thing. this is a really good idea for a video, but they don't seem to have their facts nailed down. maybe they aren't old enough. I want to know if there used to be a stunt man in Hollywood that killed his wife. that would be a great story, if tarantino based pitt on somebody real.
Not since the SJW shit storm that was started about Tate's character not having enough dialogue, it'll be blacklisted by the Academy now, you see it's OK for Hollywood to have SJW driven blacklists but it wasn't OK to have anticommunist blacklists.
I grew up watching all those 60s westerns. (BTW Clint Eastwood was on Rawhide, not Gunsmoke). Lancer was a childhood favorite. I remember seeing the pilot when it first aired. Tarantino’s saloon drinking scene is a riff on a real scene between the villain and Johnny Madrid (played by James Stacy, who was the breakout star of the series). The two sit and drink tequila, suck on limes, lick salt from their hand. It seemed grittier than what we saw on Bonanza; I’m not surprised to see Tarantino reference it. I also laughed at the TV Guide cover late in the film - on the cover was Andrew Duggan, who played Murdoch Lancer. So while Rick in the saloon kept insisting he was waiting to see Murdoch Lancer, well -eventually he appeared. The saddest Easter egg was seeing Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy ride off on his motorcycle in his final scene. In 1973, Stacy and his girlfriend were riding his motorcycle when they were hit by a drunk driver. Stacy lost his left arm and leg; his girlfriend lost her life. Another connection? James Stacy was married to Connie Stevens in the early 60’s. Sam Wanamaker really did direct the Lancer pilot. He spent the last years of his life as the driving force behind the recreation of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. A plaque honors him there. I may be remembering wrong, but I feel like there was a reference to this passion in Once Upon a Time... something about wanting the villain to be Shakespearean?
Great information! I was amazed that the so-called experts in the video did not know this. Sam Wanamaker also acted on TV as well. The character of Sam Wanamaker was modeled after the real Sam Wanamaker, not this other guy they are talking about.
Yes the scene where James Stacy rides off on his motorcycle gave me chills. There were lots of Easter eggs through out the movie that only Lancer fans will catch and appreciate.
I think in the end things did go right for Rick Dalton. He was a budding A-lister who never quite got there, but we see him grow out of his self-typecast right before our eyes. Then he makes the big connection with Roman Polanski. If the first line is "Once upon a time...," the last line is "... and they all lived happily ever after."
rpc717 or he dies from mesothelioma like Steve McQueen did. Rick is plagued throughout the movie with respiratory problems just like McQueen was prior to his diagnosis.
Sean, thank you for calling Cass Elliot by her proper name and not Mama Cass. Cass was a beautiful soul who deserves a true legacy based on her talent and not a ham sandwich joke.
So true. According to lore, she never like "Mama Cass", but grew to accept it along with the fame her voice and personality brought her. Allegedly, she got in a serious tiff with Michelle Phillips (I think) who took her boyfriend, or slept with or something. But it really broke Cass' heart in a very human way, for Michelle was very beautiful, and Cass said to her, ~"you can have any man you want. Why did you have to go after mine?". So she apparently left the group. And the group, namely John Phillips thought Cass' voice was rather generic and common. Wrong. They tried, but couldn't replace her. Cass had a tone, depth and quality that could not be matched, replaced or duplicated - and they could hear it in recording and singing. Another little "tid-bit"; when their producers brought them "Monday, Monday", they thought the record company had lost their minds. Who is going to buy a record about "Monday" they scoffed? Monday, Monday, yeah right. But they made that song fly to unimaginable heights, and it came to define not only them, but an entire generation. "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day."
The reference to Sam Wannermaker’s like of Shakespeare, it was Wannermaker who was responsible for rebuilding the Globe Theatre in London, he passed before it was finished and his daughter Zoe Wannermaker helped to finish. She is a well known British actor.
Cliff is based on gary kent. Kent was a stuntman and even ran into charles manson. Tarantino knows who he is based on Kent's involvement in grindhouse movies.
Nice piece, enjoyed your comparisons. One little real v fake issue. At 1:37 you show a picture of Efrem Zombalist, Jr., not Edd Byrnes. Both were on 77 Sunset Strip, but Zimbalist was one of the stars (a private detective) and Byrnes was Kookie, a parking valet at Dino's Lodge next door to 77. He was known for constantly combing his hair and a pop song "Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb" was released then.
The name "Francesca Capucci" was borrowed from a DJ of an L.A. radio station (the now-defunct KIQQ 100.3 FM) in the 1980s of the same name. She was Italian American so she didn't have any foreign accent, but her name was always fun to say.

In the real Lancer pilot High Riders, the character Day is a dead ringer for the character Caleb in the "fake" Lancer pilot in Once Upon A Time. In the real pilot, the character Day is played by Joe Don Baker!! Another prolific 50's TV actor. Rick Dalton could easily be Joe Don Baker.
Like your reviews, sooo entertaining and informative. Being Italian just a little note, we don’t shout our names out loud like that (I know it’s a reference to basterds but even then... and that’s not your fault 😊), nor we put the enphasis on the latter syllable all the time. The last name Giordano, for example, reads like ‘soprano’, emphasis wise. And all those gestures... no man, we do not move like that at all. Not in the north, and not in the south anymore. 😊
He did have a few movies on his resume, though. Some notable ones includes "The Last Chase," a bomb sci-fi flick about a future world that banned cars (Think of the song "Red Barchetta," by Rush, or the current NYC planning policies), as well as the villain in "Out Cold," a sort of contemporary "Casablanca" of the Colorado Rockies.
burt had a stint on gunsmoke for many years. milburn stone who portrayed 'doc' on the show encouraged burt to take a chance at the movies. burt's character on the show was named 'quint'. director qt's mom loved the show and burt's character on the show. thus she named her son the future director after burt's character 'quint'.
chris nails it on the head with 'hollywood is a legacy town...' 24:28.. Its the equivalent of why steph, klay, and lebron jr have an advantage in their own industries. Deep understanding of the industry as a culture, and has access to great guidance. Even people like jonah hill (feldstein) are industry adjacent kid in LA. His father is a money manager for people in hollywood and got his 'break' at dinner with his friends parent dustin hoffman who put him in I heart huckabees. There was once even a harvard westlake parent who was a talent agent who would discover actors from their school plays, two of the biggest are the gyllenhaals. A lot of the profound filmmakers who push the medium today come from this background; Tarantino, PT, Sophie copps, right now with euphoria and sammy levinson. less than zero and dude (on netflix) do a great job of capturing west LA private school highschool. dude is also written and directed by Olivia milch daughter of david. Tell bill DUDE is good game tape for his kids in LA private hs years.
If I'm remembering correctly, Antonio Margheriti was mentioned in the film, the narrator says he's one of the directors of Rick's spaghetti flicks. BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, stay for the credits 😉
@@csd8204 judging by the movie's fictional "happy" ending (which most people have heard about but I won't give away here), Tarantino seems to be leaning your way.
With no real knowledge of Hollywood during that time when I first watched this film I thought it was a bit boring. But once I delved into the history of cinema during that time it quickly has become one of my favourite Tarantino films.
I saw Bruce Lee in person do his twenty minute demonstration in 1968 Washington DC. A friend of Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring. Always wonder what would have happened if Bruce had been there the night of the murders.
@@putinscat1208 I was referring to the TV series titles etc not anything re Bruce Lee and I don't actually know about what your referring to. I haven't seen the film.
Vanilla Fudge was great at the peak of the climax. Nice surprise! Pity there was no TWA or Velvet Morning. Was that a David Lean beginning at the end credit? Great homage to Sharon Tate and her friends. Rip.
I just realized something that I think might be worth mentioning. I've read in a few places that one of the obvious models for Rick Dalton might be Burt Reynolds. And Burt Reynolds actually played a bad guy (I believe) on the actual show Lancer and I THINK I remember also reading that Burt Reynolds was in that actual episode of FBI that the movie shows Dalton in. If I'm remembering both of those correctly, then Burt Reynolds seems to pretty obviously be who Tarantino modeled Dalton after. Here's the thing: In the movie Sharkey's Machine, starring Burt Reynolds, there's are two scenes where two Asian (or Asian American - I'm not sure which) criminals attack Burt Reynolds using some kind of martial arts. The first time, they knock him unconscious and kidnap him. The second time, Reynolds pretty much kicks their asses just using his greater size and strength (and then kills them). So if Dalton is based on Reynolds, and Cliff Booth is Dalton's stunt double, and there's a scene where Cliff Booth is fighting arguably the world's most famous Asian martial artist - and doing pretty well - I can't help wondering if Tarantino had that scene from Sharkey's Machine somewhere in the back of his mind when he wrote the scene of Cliff fighting Bruce Lee. Just something that occurred to me. Oh, and one other possible connection - if the character of Rick's Italian wife was based at all on Claudia Cardinale, she starred in a movie called Don't Make Waves with... Sharon Tate.
Geeze, I really, really wish Tarantino would do just 1 season of "Lancer". I got so deep into it, I forgot it was a movie within a movie. It happened a few times - seriously!
Upon seeing this the second time, it occurred to me that it was kind of hilarious for her to abandon them since the plan was to kill the actors who "taught them to kill".

I LOVED this movie! Absolutely LOVED it! And, it was made by a guy who LOVES movies! Great acting. Great story. Great ending. Great movie!
Great music too! :)
I loved it
that interviewer at the beginning who said 'you're not seeing double' actually looked like brad pitt too. i don't know if there was a reason for that.
Couldn’t have said it better myself! It gets better each time you watch it ☺️
I likened DiCaprio and Pitt to Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham. Reynolds made the transition from tv to movies. Needham was his stuntman/roommate/best friend.
I’m loving how Brad Pitt is like the real cowboy of the film, fantastic vision imo I love it
This movie is gold,turned into a bronze rainbow,it's really freaking good,better then,kill bill vol2,Jackie brown ,hateful 8,djanjo unchained,and hateful 8. It's 5th,behind,pulp fiction,kill bill vol1,res dogs,inglorious bastards and thisfucking great film.robp
The best analogue is Burt Reynolds, who was also really good friends with a double/stuntman type, Hal Needham.
I was thinking that as I watched the movie. Hal covered Burt's ass and Burt helped Hal begin his directing career by agreeing to star in the low budget, drive in movie, "Smokey and the Bandit". Tarantino apparently had Reynolds in mind to play George Spahn (whom, he probably knew) and even had him at the first table reading of the script, but then Burt became to ill and passed away.
Pussycat was definitely a combo of real Manson girls.Two of his girls hitched a ride with Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys and that led to Manson's introduction to Terry Melcher.There was also a girl at the ranch named Kitty.
She was known as kitty at. She did testify during the trial. For the prosecution.
Kittycat
One of the 1st Manson girls that Dennis Wilson picked up was supposed to be Patricia Krenwinkel who went by Katey. THIS MOVIE IS A WORK OF FICTION
@@joinjen3854 Well yes of course it's fiction.Nobody is questioning that.
@@joinjen3854
Tell me, exactly which commercial for this movie is it that says that it's a historical documentary? Or are you just another SJW that's looking to be outraged so you can lecture everyone about what's right and wrong?
I was ten years old in 1969, but everyone was shocked by these murders. QT did a great job of portraying the times. I watched the movie dreading the horrific end for Sharon Tate. The alternative ending was so satisfying because it's what a lot of people wished would have happened. QT did a great job portraying Sharon Tate as the sweet, innocent victim makes the ending all the more satisfying.
Nice work! I think as time goes by, we will see Cliff Booth was the main character / main thread of this movie.
Weeks after seeing this film I am still haunted and fascinated by everything about it. Whereas it's fun to analyze and dissect certain scenes and characters it needs to be taken as a whole. This movie totally blew my mind and I can't stop thinking about it, I think Tarantino is some kind of wizard, he is certainly a master film maker.
No mention of the girl child actor??
I know. For me, she was the "fairy tale" version of a child actor, i.e. someone smart and hard working and who was respected and protected by her coworkers. Real child actors all too often wound up exploited and raped.
Trudy is a fictional character that is believed to be an amalgam of two real life portrayals. The first being Eve Plumb's Pony Alice on a episode of Lancer called "The Heart of Pony Alice". You might be more familiar of Eve's work on the Brady Bunch where she played Jan Brady. The other being Jodie Foster's Marieann on Gunsmoke circa 1969.

@@richardwelsh9577 I'M BLUE BLOOD WASP AND I'M IN HIGH SOCIATY, YOU'RE WELCOME.
@@richardwelsh9577Trudi Frasier (sic) as a combo of Eve Plumb and Jodie Foster, hmm? I read about her being based on Jodie Foster, somewhere, although I can't remember where (Personally, I still think Julia Butters looks like a pre-teen Danielle Panabaker, but there weren't too many actresses from that period who are reminiscent of either of them). But thanks for the specifics on the real-life Lancer episode, though.
I love what Tarantino did with Sharon Tate
I've heard several stories about what Bruce Lee was like during that time. They tended to be either "nice guy" or "total jerk" stories, but two things were certain: Hollywood didn't give him nearly as many acting breaks as they should have and Bruce eventually did go back to Hong Kong and became a superstar in Chinese films.
i dont'
I did not. I felt it did a disservice to the horror that happened to her. It wasn't "provocative" , it was dangerously rewriting history for the ignorant. No doubt Tarantino loved her and humanizing her life prior to the murder is fine....but the ending of that movie was potentially dangerous to the understanding of history.
tarrantino problem is that he is a no skills pretentious bum.And yet everybody fights over which ass cheek they are going to kiss first.When he releases his silly movies.
@@orangefacedbuddah1776 his movies are great, u just sound like a hater.
My thought on what happens to Rick Dalton after this movie: he becomes fast friends with Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, and he ends up starring in "Chinatown" instead of Jack Nicholson.
I thought Chinatown was directed by John Huston
@@Thespeedrap I think Huston starred as the old rich guy at the end at the orange farm. Been a long time since I've seen it. But Polanksi definitely wrote and directed it.
interesting idea
@@Thespeedrap Polanski directed the movie. John Huston was one of the actors in it. He played the father of Faye Dunaway's character. Polanski himself had a small part in the movie.
@@limedickandrew6016 I've seen it he cuts Jack's nose very crazy indeed.
Tarantino should have at least given the dog more screen time and dialogue.
Pic of Ed "Kookie" Byrnes is actually Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
Even though it went by fast I noticed that too.
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. I thought you were dead. Welcome back.
@Efrem Zimbalist Jr. super big television producer-...
thank you they are getting it wrong.
More videos, more videos. Film every podcast.
The first Billy Jack film was 1967's The Born Losers.
The Sharon Tate character development had unusual things happening which I have not seen in any other movie ever. You already know how her character ends, before it ends. So, when you watch her scenes it's all interpreted as foreshadowing. So it's that much more sad to see her that happy and know she's going to lose it. Or it's that much more disappointing to watch her not be recognized in her films because you know what she's known for. And then when you see that group of hippies, you know what's coming...and then you don't, and it's awesome, and it's really completely unexpected. Expectations subverted, yet in a way where you're not disappointed because the ending is happy and the reality was not happy. It's a proper fairy tale set in Hollywood.
Yes, a terrific take on what Tarantino was going for.
I thought Rick and Cliff were going to get killed
I am too. This is one time I really wanted a different ending for the story, and Quinton delivered.
For me, Tarantino really humanized Sharon Tate. Before she had been a headline, a news story, a tale of Hollywood lore, but his depiction of her really sparkles throughout this film. Though I get sad at the ending, knowing what happened up that driveway that night, I am glad he didn't whack her out, and gave her the sweetness she deserved.
Excellent work, guys! The amount of detail Quentin put into this film and the accuracy to the Manson case was extraordinary! I live in Hollywood and was on the sidewalk the night they shot the Hollywood Blvd scenes.
I work around the corner from where the "Pandora's Box" scene was. A couple years ago I was having lunch at the Good Greek Grill on Yucca and a couple people pointed out Tarantino was across the street. And there he was, walking around the block with the location scouts. I also saw the Hollywood Blvd scenes being filmed.
Guys, descent review but, why is it so hard for everyone to see the boat scene where brad (cliff) May have killed his wife is a reference to Robert Wagner and Natalie wood. Her name is “Natalie” in the movie...
I went to this film stoned and thought I slipped into a Mandela universe or something.
It was great
You didn't really get stoned. You did fall into a Mandela universe. We just made you believe you got stoned. Shhh. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.
The scene where Manson visits the Polanski and Tate's house asking for Terry, while Cliff fixes the antenna, actually happened. Manson had been there before.
Helter skelter
Doesn’t QT have Manson walking back to a Hostess Cupcake van? The Manson family drove one around in real life.
That scene was pure fiction in that Manson learns that Terry Milcher no longer lives at the house and instead Sharon Tate. Milcher was a record producer who declined to sign Manson to a record deal. Manson purposely sent his followers to the house to kill Milcher in an act of revenge, but didn't know that he no longer lived at the house.
Steve Mcqueen: After 1974 he wasn't seen on the silver screen until 1978 in a movie called "An Enemy of The People " the first of three box office flops . He's been dead since 1980 .
Over forty years He's still being talked about ,still influencing generations of actors.
Terrence Steven McQueen
March 24 ,1930 - November 7, 1980.
I saw this movie as Quentin's "love letter" to the Hollywood he fell in love with at a very young age.
Personally I love that in his movie universe he saves the life of Sharon Tate and brutally punishes the deranged cult members who irl took her life.
CIA manipulated Manson with MK Ultra so blame them
Look up Chaos book by Tom O’ Neil
I love alternative history anyway but watching one of the monsters who tortured and murdered a pregnant get beaten, eaten and burned in this version was satisfying. I think we all wished they had entered the wrong house that night, a house that could fight back.
And not just some helpless kids, cooling out after a night out.
Loved this interview and answered a good number of questions I had about the movie! The movie is nostalgic for me as I was 16 at the time of the Cieollo event. I have never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie in it's entirety in a theater. Loved the sound track and the characters, I have even ridden horses in the Canyons of LA as a tourist and driven on those roads in the canyons which are treacherous. Also, a military brat and recall the photo that showcased Sharon Tate in Italy in the Stars and Stripes that led to her fame. Most of the other people in the theater were in their 60's and we all had a blast and laughed uproariously at some of the outrageous events!
I went with my folks (in their 50s) and there were many older folks in the theater as well. I had to take a second to notice how surreal it was for myself, my folks, and all of these other people to be laughing hysterically at this ultra violence on the screen in front of us 😂😂😂. It was just so interesting in the moment, probably the most memorable theater moment I’ve had.
FYI... Eastwood never had "Gunsmoke." The show was "Rawhide." I'm actually old enough to have watched both when they were on.
i was going to say the same thing. this is a really good idea for a video, but they don't seem to have their facts nailed down. maybe they aren't old enough. I want to know if there used to be a stunt man in Hollywood that killed his wife. that would be a great story, if tarantino based pitt on somebody real.
Hell they are still on
I love how the ppl in the comments know more than the Ringers guys.
Guys are hacks. Count the number of "umms" in this scripted review.
Theresa Kleven it's not hard.
Oscar nomination for Brad Pitt imo
Not since the SJW shit storm that was started about Tate's character not having enough dialogue, it'll be blacklisted by the Academy now, you see it's OK for Hollywood to have SJW driven blacklists but it wasn't OK to have anticommunist blacklists.
Excellent and entertaining discussion. Great production. Thanks a lot
Woops- that was not Ed Byrnes, but Efram Zimbalist Jr.
Millenials. WTF are they talking about with the boat........its an obvious reference to Robert Wagner.....
ROY FR They’re Gen Xers
Didn't that happen much later though? Like late70s or something?
@@666cfc it happened in 1981, I think the little girl in the western with Leo is supposed to be Woods.
I doubt if little girl portraying treaty was supposed to be Natalie Wood since Natalie Wood would have been 31 in 1969. She was born in 1938.
I grew up watching all those 60s westerns. (BTW Clint Eastwood was on Rawhide, not Gunsmoke). Lancer was a childhood favorite. I remember seeing the pilot when it first aired. Tarantino’s saloon drinking scene is a riff on a real scene between the villain and Johnny Madrid (played by James Stacy, who was the breakout star of the series). The two sit and drink tequila, suck on limes, lick salt from their hand. It seemed grittier than what we saw on Bonanza; I’m not surprised to see Tarantino reference it. I also laughed at the TV Guide cover late in the film - on the cover was Andrew Duggan, who played Murdoch Lancer. So while Rick in the saloon kept insisting he was waiting to see Murdoch Lancer, well -eventually he appeared.
The saddest Easter egg was seeing Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy ride off on his motorcycle in his final scene. In 1973, Stacy and his girlfriend were riding his motorcycle when they were hit by a drunk driver. Stacy lost his left arm and leg; his girlfriend lost her life. Another connection? James Stacy was married to Connie Stevens in the early 60’s.
Sam Wanamaker really did direct the Lancer pilot. He spent the last years of his life as the driving force behind the recreation of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. A plaque honors him there. I may be remembering wrong, but I feel like there was a reference to this passion in Once Upon a Time... something about wanting the villain to be Shakespearean?
Great information! I was amazed that the so-called experts in the video did not know this. Sam Wanamaker also acted on TV as well.
The character of Sam Wanamaker was modeled after the real Sam Wanamaker, not this other guy they are talking about.
Yes the scene where James Stacy rides off on his motorcycle gave me chills. There were lots of Easter eggs through out the movie that only Lancer fans will catch and appreciate.
Sandysha11 That the Andrew Duggan TV Guide cover (shown in the final section of the movie) was an actual cover from the week of the murders was eerie.
Yes, Cheryl it was the actual TV guide for that week in August 1969. So eerie. Loved that Murdoch made an appearance.
@@markmorris2207
Yea, these hacks also missed the Robert Wagner/Natalie Wood reference, and Clint Eastwood was on Rawhide not Gunsmoke.
I think in the end things did go right for Rick Dalton. He was a budding A-lister who never quite got there, but we see him grow out of his self-typecast right before our eyes. Then he makes the big connection with Roman Polanski. If the first line is "Once upon a time...," the last line is "... and they all lived happily ever after."
rpc717 or he dies from mesothelioma like Steve McQueen did. Rick is plagued throughout the movie with respiratory problems just like McQueen was prior to his diagnosis.
Haven't seen it yet, but gives some good clues to add some spice without giving away the cake
Sean, thank you for calling Cass Elliot by her proper name and not Mama Cass. Cass was a beautiful soul who deserves a true legacy based on her talent and not a ham sandwich joke.
So true. According to lore, she never like "Mama Cass", but grew to accept it along with the fame her voice and personality brought her. Allegedly, she got in a serious tiff with Michelle Phillips (I think) who took her boyfriend, or slept with or something. But it really broke Cass' heart in a very human way, for Michelle was very beautiful, and Cass said to her, ~"you can have any man you want. Why did you have to go after mine?". So she apparently left the group. And the group, namely John Phillips thought Cass' voice was rather generic and common. Wrong. They tried, but couldn't replace her. Cass had a tone, depth and quality that could not be matched, replaced or duplicated - and they could hear it in recording and singing. Another little "tid-bit"; when their producers brought them "Monday, Monday", they thought the record company had lost their minds. Who is going to buy a record about "Monday" they scoffed? Monday, Monday, yeah right. But they made that song fly to unimaginable heights, and it came to define not only them, but an entire generation. "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day."
The reference to Sam Wannermaker’s like of Shakespeare, it was Wannermaker who was responsible for rebuilding the Globe Theatre in London, he passed before it was finished and his daughter Zoe Wannermaker helped to finish. She is a well known British actor.
Michelle Phillips and Mama Cass also make an appearance in the film
Clint Eastwood? Gunsmoke? I think not! How about Rawhide?
Cliff is based on gary kent. Kent was a stuntman and even ran into charles manson. Tarantino knows who he is based on Kent's involvement in grindhouse movies.
Thank you sir for narrowing it down for us.... 👍
Thought he was based on Hal Needham also Needham lived with Burt for a while in Hollywood.
The picture they are using for Edd Byrnes is actually Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
Good content. Love how Chris Ryan crosses from TV, to film, to NBA so seamlessly.
I always thought he was clint Eastwood cause he goes to Rome to shoot spaghetti westerns
Same here, Robert
Burt made a spagetti western for Corbuci in 66' called "Navajo Joe" .
@@paulorlando5877 for "the second best spaghetti western director" Lol (not Sergio Leone).
Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns are my favorite of his
Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds, for sure. Watch "The Bandit".
Sam Wannamaker was the actual director of the Lancer TV series.
Sam was a great actor but he only directed one episode of Lancer. My directing teacher Don Richardson did 7. The most was 8 by Allen Reisner
Nice piece, enjoyed your comparisons.
One little real v fake issue. At 1:37 you show a picture of Efrem Zombalist, Jr., not Edd Byrnes.
Both were on 77 Sunset Strip, but Zimbalist was one of the stars (a private detective) and Byrnes was Kookie, a parking valet at Dino's Lodge next door to 77. He was known for constantly combing his hair and a pop song "Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb" was released then.
Thanks for the break down of many of the movie and tv connections that blast thru Tarantino's head
Sam Wannamaker was actually Sam Wannamaker he directed the pilot of lancer
I read the inclusion of actor's kids as a nod to Sharon Tate's lost child
Now I’ll have to rewatch the film with this background. I think that Cliff Booth’s wife was supposed to actually refer to Natalie Wood’s fate however.
I want to see the director's cut
Me too
Wish he would release it
The name "Francesca Capucci" was borrowed from a DJ of an L.A. radio station (the now-defunct KIQQ 100.3 FM) in the 1980s of the same name. She was Italian American so she didn't have any foreign accent, but her name was always fun to say.
This was a great and interesting breakdown of the movie. Great work.
Marsden was in the film. He's talking to Leo (on horse) during the Bounty Law show/scene.
That was Madsen, not Marsden.
@@upaya30 They claimed that James Marsden played a young Burt Reynolds and it was cut. The real Burt Reynolds was supposed to play George Spahn, but he became ill and then unfortunately passed away.
Having Marsden play the young Reynolds in a film that the real Burt was also in would have been one of the ultimate Tarantino non-linear plot tricks.
Jay Sebring was Steve McQueen's hairstylist
They were friends too.
He read the eulogy at Sebring's funeral
Rumor is Jay Sebring supplied drugs to Steve McQueen
that was Efrem Zimbalist Jr., not Ed Burns
Before you put one of these videos out please get your facts straight.
Clint Eastwood wasn't "in Gunsmoke," he was the second lead on "Rawhide," and when you mention Ed Byrnes. You show a photo of Efrem Zimbalest, Jr.
701CPD And?
"Hollywood is a legacy town" when pretty people have kids together they have pretty kids.
In the real Lancer pilot High Riders, the character Day is a dead ringer for the character Caleb in the "fake" Lancer pilot in Once Upon A Time. In the real pilot, the character Day is played by Joe Don Baker!! Another prolific 50's TV actor. Rick Dalton could easily be Joe Don Baker.
Jay Sebring was responsible for Bruce Lee ultimately getting his job as Kato on The Green Hornet.
Like your reviews, sooo entertaining and informative. Being Italian just a little note, we don’t shout our names out loud like that (I know it’s a reference to basterds but even then... and that’s not your fault 😊), nor we put the enphasis on the latter syllable all the time. The last name Giordano, for example, reads like ‘soprano’, emphasis wise. And all those gestures... no man, we do not move like that at all. Not in the north, and not in the south anymore. 😊
McQueen actually portrayed for good reason - he was star and stuntman personified
Clint Eastwood was on rawhide
Burt Reynolds was on gunsmoke
Yes, and the gun and holster The Man With No Name has in the "Dollar" trilogy is his rig from Rawhide.
That's not Edd Byrnes @1:37, that's Efram Zimbalist, Jr. Edd Byrnes played Kookie in 77 Sunset Strip.
Lee Majors started off as a stuntman, though he never became a movie star , he was a T.V. star...
He did have a few movies on his resume, though. Some notable ones includes "The Last Chase," a bomb sci-fi flick about a future world that banned cars (Think of the song "Red Barchetta," by Rush, or the current NYC planning policies), as well as the villain in "Out Cold," a sort of contemporary "Casablanca" of the Colorado Rockies.
@@DTD110865 Lee was awesome in his movie within a movie in "Scrooged"
This was surprisingly great! Good job guys.
Did you guys notice the cameo of the young lady who sold Cliff the LSD cigarette? The daughter from Kill Bill!!!
burt had a stint on gunsmoke for many years. milburn stone who portrayed 'doc' on the show encouraged burt to take a chance at the movies. burt's character on the show was named 'quint'. director qt's mom loved the show and burt's character on the show. thus she named her son the future director after burt's character 'quint'.
chris nails it on the head with 'hollywood is a legacy town...' 24:28.. Its the equivalent of why steph, klay, and lebron jr have an advantage in their own industries. Deep understanding of the industry as a culture, and has access to great guidance. Even people like jonah hill (feldstein) are industry adjacent kid in LA. His father is a money manager for people in hollywood and got his 'break' at dinner with his friends parent dustin hoffman who put him in I heart huckabees. There was once even a harvard westlake parent who was a talent agent who would discover actors from their school plays, two of the biggest are the gyllenhaals. A lot of the profound filmmakers who push the medium today come from this background; Tarantino, PT, Sophie copps, right now with euphoria and sammy levinson. less than zero and dude (on netflix) do a great job of capturing west LA private school highschool. dude is also written and directed by Olivia milch daughter of david. Tell bill DUDE is good game tape for his kids in LA private hs years.
People not familiar with the 60's will not get this movie I think
If I'm remembering correctly, Antonio Margheriti was mentioned in the film, the narrator says he's one of the directors of Rick's spaghetti flicks. BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, stay for the credits 😉
Noticed it too. Director name from inglorious. Good job us.
I missed that one
The real Sam Wanamaker actually directed the pilot episode of Lancer depicted in the movie.
Steve McQueen was supposed to be Sharon Tate's house guest on the night of August 9, 1969, But he decided not to show.
A real life bad ass like McQueen was probably packing wherever he went. That might not have played out the same way if he'd been there.
@@csd8204 judging by the movie's fictional "happy" ending (which most people have heard about but I won't give away here), Tarantino seems to be leaning your way.
There was also a woman who was supposed to come but turned around last minute due to a low gas tank. Her and Steve are lucky.
Earl A. Birkett n
Word is Quincy Jones was going to be there also.
With no real knowledge of Hollywood during that time when I first watched this film I thought it was a bit boring. But once I delved into the history of cinema during that time it quickly has become one of my favourite Tarantino films.
It’s so weird seeing faces attached to the voices I’m so used to hearing
I saw Bruce Lee in person do his twenty minute demonstration in 1968 Washington DC. A friend of Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring. Always wonder what would have happened if Bruce had been there the night of the murders.
Fake is a pretty dumb word. Imaginary would be more appropriate.

Sad I’m 2 years late! To this video.
Vanilla Fudge was great at the peak of the climax. Nice surprise!
Pity there was no TWA or Velvet Morning.
Was that a David Lean beginning at the end credit?
Great homage to Sharon Tate and her friends. Rip.
MAC R I saw Vanilla Fudge in Baton Rouge back in the day. No one mentions them today. I haven't seen the movie yet. I'll listen for them when I do.
I just realized something that I think might be worth mentioning. I've read in a few places that one of the obvious models for Rick Dalton might be Burt Reynolds. And Burt Reynolds actually played a bad guy (I believe) on the actual show Lancer and I THINK I remember also reading that Burt Reynolds was in that actual episode of FBI that the movie shows Dalton in. If I'm remembering both of those correctly, then Burt Reynolds seems to pretty obviously be who Tarantino modeled Dalton after.
Here's the thing: In the movie Sharkey's Machine, starring Burt Reynolds, there's are two scenes where two Asian (or Asian American - I'm not sure which) criminals attack Burt Reynolds using some kind of martial arts. The first time, they knock him unconscious and kidnap him. The second time, Reynolds pretty much kicks their asses just using his greater size and strength (and then kills them).
So if Dalton is based on Reynolds, and Cliff Booth is Dalton's stunt double, and there's a scene where Cliff Booth is fighting arguably the world's most famous Asian martial artist - and doing pretty well - I can't help wondering if Tarantino had that scene from Sharkey's Machine somewhere in the back of his mind when he wrote the scene of Cliff fighting Bruce Lee.
Just something that occurred to me.
Oh, and one other possible connection - if the character of Rick's Italian wife was based at all on Claudia Cardinale, she starred in a movie called Don't Make Waves with... Sharon Tate.
Geeze, I really, really wish Tarantino would do just 1 season of "Lancer". I got so deep into it, I forgot it was a movie within a movie. It happened a few times - seriously!
No mention of Maya Hawke (Uma's daughter) being in the film? - the girl who ditched the crew before they went to Dalton's.
24:34
Upon seeing this the second time, it occurred to me that it was kind of hilarious for her to abandon them since the plan was to kill the actors who "taught them to kill".
These two guys took some potentially fascinating subject and made it dreadful to listen to.
