Do you think Tarantino will make more movies? PULP FICTION: th-cam.com/video/HMQ8lH4Ee68/w-d-xo.html KILL BILL: th-cam.com/video/CTdpxOCWqyA/w-d-xo.html
I remember my theatre was laughing and cheering at the ending. It was a bittersweet ending but it’s also sad because we wish things could have been different in real life.
I like to imagine that irl, a great deal of would-be Zodiac Killers end up caught with their trousers down, and get mowed like the embarassing dorks they are.
I really like in Jen’s reviews that she’s not oblivious to the historical context in movies like this. And also that she’s familiar with most of the old timey movie actors.
It's refreshing to see a reaction by someone that actually knows a lot of the details of the actual events that took place. Most reactors have no idea who Sharon Tate or Charles Manson were or what really happened.
You have NO IDEA how incredibly happy I am to find a reaction where you know the background of everyone! I've watched reactions where I realize they don't even know who Manson or Sharon Tate even is!! The movie makes no sense at that point. Great job!
Out of all Tarantino movies this has to be the most rewatchable. The atmosphere, the soundtrack, the comedic buddy duo, the perfect Sharon Tate, and of course, th grandest, most cathartic ending to a film I've ever seen. Great choice for a reaction, Jen 👍
one of my favorite things about this story is that tarantino laid the foundation for us to surmise what happened to rick and cliff after this story. after that crazy night of the attack, rick became friends with his neighbors and polanski put him in more movies, thus still needing cliff as his stunt double.
"What about this film, is it any good?" 'The Wrecking Crew' starring Dean Martin is the fourth Matt Helm film in the series. Matt Helm was a U.S. government counter agent. The Matt Helm movies are spoofs of James Bond so if you know anyone interested in James Bond then it would be a fun watch for them. Dean Martin had a larger than life personality that everyone loved and it's on full display in his movies. He was also a close associate of Frank Sinatra and co-starred in the original 'Ocean's 11'. Dean was also a popular singer with 35 albums to his credit. He was also part of a popular comedy team when he started out with a nut named Jerry Lewis. Dean also had his own TV show for 9 years.
I think that what Tarantino understood was that the audience did not want to see the Tate murders. What they really wanted to see was the Manson gang getting exterminated Tarantino style. Even though we know the truth of what really happened, it’s satisfying to see the Manson gang get theirs. Jen, your tension kept me on the edge of my seat all over again, even though I’ve seen the film many times. I think you really liked it, but I’m not sure, Polanski films I can recommend: Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Frantic, The Ghost Writer. All four are great.
This is my absolute favorite Tarantino film! It's not the plot, the action, set design. It's the acting! There isn't a bad performance in this film. This is one of your best picks Jen, in a year with nothing but great choices! 😊thanks again Jen for all you do. Always here for more...Eric
@jenmurrayxo Jenny I do wish this ending was the actual ending of that night. The actual fate of pregnant Sharon Tate and friends was one of the most evil acts that ever happened Roman Polanski never got over these actual events.
This is one of those special movies that I love more and more with each viewing. It’s got such an alluring “hang out” quality to it and it’s gotta be the closest thing to time travel the way it transports you back to 1969 so effectively. Plus the California Dreaming sequence near the end captures that summer evening “magic hour” feel so perfectly you can practically smell it
I think you hit the nail right on the head about what Tarantino was trying to accomplish with your interpretation of the western scene that Rick films. Even though you knew Rick was just there filming a scene for a TV show, you momentarily forget that fact and are sucked into the moment worrying about him shooting the little girl. That's the magic of movie-making. Even though you know it's not real, for a brief moment it BECOMES real. And I think that's what he inevitably wanted to do with this movie. In a way, he wants to save Sharon Tate at end through the magic of movie-making and make it real...even if just for a brief moment. Great reaction, Jen
I find it impressive that the first half of the movie seems meandering (in an entertaining way) but you see how crucial all that information was as the climax plays out. Might be my favorite Tarantino film.
18:27 This is the actual Sharon Tate we’re seeing on the movie screen, with Dean Martin, in footage from THE WRECKING CREW (1968). You would probably enjoy this film as well as the 3 previous films in the Matt Helm series - THE SILENCERS (1966), MURDERERS’ ROW (1966), and THE AMBUSHERS (1967). THE WRECKING CREW (1968) is the last one that was made, and Bruce Lee really did train Sharon Tate in her martial arts moves.
If you do decide to watch a Roman Polanski film, the one I'd recommend is "Chinatown" - a great film with a great performance by Jack Nicholson. A lot of people consider the screenplay for the film one of the very best ever written, and it's often discussed in film schools as an example of great screenwriting.
It's refreshing to watch a reaction to this movie from a reactor who actually knows the history and players involved. i was impressed that Jen knew who Dennis Wilson and Bruce Lee were.
I'm 58 and have a wide range of fav movies, but this is one of my fav movies ever ! The cinematography and attention to detail of the period is outstanding, and the twist at the end is amazing ! Peace n love from Australia 😎✌
9/10 A love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable. It took Quentin Tarantino a lifetime of living, 5 years to write and a 2 hours 41 minutes watch. This is a love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable. Hippies, short skirts, westerns..... all have disappeared from our movie world. But worry not, Quentin Tarantino is here to remind us of old school film making from a once beloved industry which has been described as being on life support. The performances are flawless. I was apprehensive about how the events of August 8, 1969 would be handled. But that is handled tastefully and respectfully, yet with the classic Tarantino flair. Will be quite a bit for those under 40 who have no recollection of this Hollywood. Some will categorise this as an over indulgent nostalgia trip for movie geeks. And they are likely to be correct. But for those of us who complain that Hollywood is reduced to remakes and comic book films, QT delivers a unique and creative viewing experience.
There's a popular theory that this film is set in the same world as Inglorious Basterds, and when the full story of what happened in that theater gets declassified in the '70s, Rick is going to have his biggest hit ever playing Aldo Raines.
One of my 3 favorite Tarantino movies honestly. Loved the chemistry between the two leads, the recreation of The Great Escape (one of my favorites) with Leo swapped in for Steve McQueen, all the performances, the tension when Cliff is on the ranch, and the over the top ending. My personal fan theory is that in this alternate universe, Maya Hawke’s character left the Mason family after abandoning her companions, changed her name, had a daughter that looks just like her/Uma Thurman and the daughter grew up to be The Bride in Kill Bill (or alternatively grew up to be Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction), thus linking real life mother and daughter's Tarantino roles🙂
Watching this movie is like watching my childhood come alive. I grew up in The San Fernando Valley. & really appreciate the little details like Cliff taking the Panorama City off-ramp & driving to The Van Nuys drive-in, which is geographically correct. There are a bunch of examples of little elements in this movie, which, Tarantino adds to this movie that take it to the next level in that respect. BTW.. Spahn Ranch is gone but the property seems accessible.
Fun fact---there are 2 Harley Quinns in this movie: Margot Robbie and Kevin Smith's daughter, Harley Quinn Smith (she's one of the creepy girls at Spaun Ranch). I'm not sure, but I think that the whole bit about Cliff murdering his wife was inspired by the death of Natalie Wood (the woman in the flashback scene even said something about having a sister named Natalie), even though that happened in the late 70's, if memory serves. Natalie Wood was found dead in the water just off the boat her, her husband Robert Wagner ( Number Two from the Austin Powers movies), and Christopher Walken (yes, THAT Christopher Walken) were partying on. They've never really definitively solved the case but Wagner and Walken were never charged with anything.
I just subscribed based on your reaction. You were quite informed, which was refreshing, and I thought it was hilarious that you kept anticipating “murder” through the entire movie!
The part with Cliff going to the ranch to see his old friend and finding Manson's hippies there actually happened. But in real life, it was The Lone Ranger actor Clayton Moore. After the Tate murder and the arrest of the hippies, Clayton saw them on the news and recognized a couple of them from the ranch.
Jen, you'll find this interesting since you recently reacted to Groundhog Day (co-starring Andie MacDowell).... The hippie girl in this film picked up by Brad Pitt's character is Margaret Qualley, who is Andie's real-life daughter!
Brad Pitt won a Sag award for this movie and in his acceptance speech he said ‘Quentin Tarantino has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA”.
Awesome as always, Jen! 😊The girl who drove away from the murders is Uma Thurman's daughter. And the girl who gave Brad Pitt the acid dipped cigarette played Uma Thurman's daughter in Kill Bill.
Good reaction. Glad I watched it again myself. I noticed more cameos I missed the first time. Kurt's wife in the movie was Zoe from "Death Proof". One of the least popular Tarantino films, but I loved it. Kurt was 'Stuntman Mike', one of the best bad guys ever.🧐
The episode of The FBI Leo was in actually starred Burt Reynolds as the bad guy. Lancer was a real tv show whose star Jim Stacy was seriously injured a motorcycle accident. You can see him riding away on his bike at the end of filming.
37:28 I always thought, it was really nice of Cliff to give her a premium guided tour around the house... 😑🤕🤣 Can we all please appreciate the beast song choice by Tarantino in this scene as well? Vanilla Fudge - "You keep me hangin´ on" is one of the best songs from 60es. 😎👍💯
Tarantino did write a novelization of this movie. I've not read it, but I've heard that they show more about what happened on the boat with Cliff and his wife, and also what happened with Cliff and Rick after the events of this movie.
Oh, I get it! The shots from Operatione Dy-No-Mite had a familiar actor, and it took me a moment to remember Steve Railsback, and another wondering at the choice to cast him here, 'out of the blue' as it were... But of course! He played Charlie Manson in the film "Helter Skelter."
It's a 'what if' scenario where Clint Eastwood, the gun toting Californian was able to kill the psychotic socialists who would otherwise have killed the pregnant Sharon Tate.
This one ties with "Jackie Brown" as my favorite Tarantino. I don't love everything he does, but whatever he comes out with is usually worth a look. "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has one of my favorite Tarantino music re-uses. The music at the very end when Rick's walking up the drive with Jay to meet Sharon and the gang is the main theme from a film called "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean." It's a self-consciously legendary, sometimes almost cartoon-ish western with Paul Newman that's a lot of fun and begins with an on screen title that essentially says, "This might not be exactly how it happened, but it's the way it should have been." First time I saw "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was at the cinema where Margot Robbie goes to see "The Wrecking Crew," which was kinda cool, and when that music creeped in at the end I instantly knew what it was and thought of that title from "Roy Bean" and kinda fell apart in my seat. It doesn't take much for me to cry during movies but this one hit me hard. Like many I was dreading seeing the murders. Scuttlebutt was that Tarantino went really violent for the climax and I REALLY did not want to see Margot Robbie get killed. I was wondering if I should sneak out before the end and spare myself that but then Linda Kasabian got into the gang's car and drove away (I know a lot more about the Manson gang's activities than can possibly be good for me) and I realized Tarantino was going to "Inglourius Basterds" the Manson murders. I was SO happy that my audible reaction to what should have been the lead-up to horrible killings kinda of pissed off moviegoers around me. I did not care though, 'cuz Margot wasn't gonna get killed on screen and that made my day. 😃 One neat casting trick Tarantino tried was having the Manson girls (where possible, anyway) played by daughters of famous Hollywood actors - to bring to creepy life Manson's stated intention of 'educating' the kids and sending them back to kill their parents. Pussycat was played by Margaret Qualley who is Andie MacDowall's daughter, Linda Kasabian was played by Maya Hawke who is Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke's daughter, Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith is in there somewhere, and that's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure he would have liked to take that further than he did. I'm not sure how many people are aware that Sam Wanamaker (a real life actor and director who was doing his thing around the time the movie takes place) was played by Nicholas Hammond who played the oldest Von Trapp son in "The Sound of Music." I liked seeing him in this, and he's clearly having a ball. 😄
The guy who played Tex is Austin Butler who would become famous playing Elvis in the biopic with Tom Hanks a few years later. That is a good movie as well. I haven’t seen many reactors react to it. Yes, you should definitely check out Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie.
I only just noticed that was A.Butler, on this YT review. I’ve seen this film four times - yet “Elvis” was not made, until a few recent. He’s in “Dune, 2” and the upcoming WW2 “Masters of the Air”.
Once upon a time in Hollywood.... there was an independent filmmaker named Herschell Gordon Lewis who directed many low-budget exploitation films in Miami, Chicago, California, Texas, etc. In 1969 one film he directed was a softcore exploitation western named 'Linda and Abilene'. It was filmed in 1969 at the Spahn Ranch when it was then inhabited by the Charles Manson Family/Cult.... a few months before the Tate-LaBianca murders. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and his entire film crew and cast were aware that the Manson Family was a crazed hippy cult. According to Lewis, he and his crew never met Charles Manson himself, but they were dozens of so-called Manson girls roaming around and gawking with curiosity at the crew during the filming. In a 2009 interview, H.G. Lewis recalled that the Manson Family had several pet dogs roaming around the ranch, one of which had a large bell attached to its collar which made noise every time the dog moved. Annoyed at the bell ringing which was interfering with the filming, Lewis and one of his crewmen went to the dog and began to remove the bell collar around the dog's neck when two of the Manson girls, who had been standing nearby, suddenly ran up and physically shoved both Lewis and the crewman to the ground and they loudly threatened to kill both of them if they tried to take off the bell collar or touch their dog again. Lewis and the crewman defused the situation by apologizing and walking away from a possible violent confrontation and renewed filming on the movie.
@JenMurray: Yours is the BEST reaction for this movie, EVER! You know enough about the history to make this great. Every other reaction can fuck themselves.
Excited for this reaction Jen. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and I remember this era, and remember well the events portrayed in this movie, which makes this my favorite Tarantino movie. Can't wait for your reaction.
This movie is a great example of internal conflict vs external conflict. The story is ultimately about two past their prime men and how they finally become useful again at the end.
Batman 66 Morbid fact: if the Manson Family went to the house next door as they did in real life, they would have killed Sharon Tate and a Hollywood hairdresser called Jay Sebring, who played a Hollywood hairdresser in the third season of the Batman 66 season. Oh and I forgot Jen, there is an two part episode with the Green Hornet and Kato, Kato played by Bruce Lee. Even though he and Burt Ward Robin were friends and practice martial arts together, it is said Robin was quite nervous in their fight scenes. As always, love the reaction. Keep it up. Hi to your sister.
Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Supporting Actor Brad Pitt and Best Production Design. I heard when people saw the ending, they were shocked, but also they were cheering.
Great reaction Jen like always, I love this movie... When Tarantino pulls the ripcord and it goes bananas, it is just so much fun. And Its alternate ending to real-life events is meant to be controversial, but for me, it’s a vision of how everything should have happened if the world was fair or, indeed, a fairy tale… in Hollywood. There some fun-facts about this movie, screen legend Burt Reynolds was originally cast for the role of George Spahn, but passed away at 82 before he could film his scenes. However, he was still able to leave his own mark on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by suggesting Bruce Lee’s (Mike Moh) remark that Cliff Booth is “kinda pretty for a stunt guy.” Burt Reynolds is not the only actor who helped created some memorable moments from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, such as Booth's profane pep talk to Rick Dalton (a Brad Pitt ad-lib inspired by a real-life experience of his) or the latter character's Lancer mistake and subsequent, and completely improvised, trailer freakout, both of which were Leonardo DiCaprio's suggestions. Practical Effects Were Used To Recreate 1969 Los Angeles, Quentin Tarantino opted against using CGI for the authentic, Oscar-winning recreation of Los Angeles circa 1969 in this movie, claiming that even if the audience did not notice the difference. One effect from this movie that was, surprisingly, also practical is Rick Dalton's flamethrower from The 14 Fists of McCluskey, for which a hesitant Leonardo DiCaprio actually set actors on fire. It took some convincing from co-stunt coordinators Zoe Bell and Robert Alonzo, the latter of which let DiCaprio set him on fire first, before the actor felt comfortable making "fried sauerkraut" out of the stunt crew. Rick Dalton’s MAD Caricature Became The Real Cover Art For The Magazine’s Final Issue. Bruce Lee’s Daughter Was Unimpressed With The Depiction Of Her Father. Shannon Lee, the daughter of Lee, described her father's depiction in the movie to The Wrap as "an arrogant asshole who was full of hot air." Despite attempts to defend the portrayal from Mike Moh, who plays the kung fu movie legend in the film. Margot Robbie’s performance brought Sharon Tate’s sister to tears, Sharing Nina Tooley's sentiment over the movie is Debra Tate, the sister of tragic starlet Sharon Tate, who initially condemned the film upon its mere announcement until Quentin Tarantino personally reached out to her about his intentions. Tarantino has a personal connection to another Los Angeles cinema that receives mention in this movie, specifically when Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring (Emile Hirsch) discuss an adult movie premiere taking place at a nearby theater. The theater in question is the Eros, known today as The New Beverly and owned by Quentin Tarantino. Keep up the amazing work.
Your reaction to this movie was very enjoyable. It's nice to see someone watch this one with at least some idea of what it's about, unlike many reactors who have no earthly clue. "Hullabaloo" was a real TV show back in the late 60s that tried to be "hip" for the younger viewers. The guest hosts would often be celebrities who didn't really fit in, like Robert Vaughn ("The Man From UNCLE") or Jerry Lewis, and their attempts to sing were usually as cringe-inducing as Rick Dalton's. Some think the finale is too violent, but for those of us who lived during those horrible events, seeing Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkle (not to mention the imbecilic Clem Grogan during the tire scene) get their just desserts in so graphic a manner is incredibly cathartic. All that's missing is for Cliff to get a crack at Manson himself.
Enjoyed your reaction to this!!! The brunette hippie girl was played by Margaret Qualley, who was nominated for an Emmy for Best Actress in the Netflix series Maid. Squeaky Fromme was played by Dakota Fanning. In the last scene Margot Robbie is seen wearing a number 17 football jersey. The jersey is a Dallas Cowboys jersey representing their quarterback Don Meredith at the time. Sharon Tate was from Dallas. Again, enjoyed your reaction!
This, I think, is Tarantino's second masterpiece (after Jackie Brown). Not only did he film in & around Hollywood, but he also did a damn fine job of transporting the city back to the late '60's/early '70's, right down to some vehicles that you would have seen on the streets on a regular basis (though, I don't recall seeing any Helms Bakery trucks in the film). I know several people in the film industry, and the employment aspect is pretty much spot on. I won't go into other events in the film...🙂
This movie gave great insight to the inner workings of the TV and movie industry and how actors were used and perceived by the viewers. For any of you Jen fans that aren't patreons you just don't know what you're missing. Jens full length reactions are worth every penny of the price of admission. I cannot stress enough to jump on board the Jen Express, you wont' be disappointed.
Jen you are in my top 3 YT reaction channels! I just wanna say I love your videos and I have been waiting all day to settle in, elevate, and go along with you on another QT coaster! ✌️💯💚
So the ending itself is very promising for Rick and Cliff's friendship. It's kind of insinuated that the new friendship between Rick and the Polanskis, probably will provide Rick with a new movie contract, so that Cliffs and Ricks collaboration may be resumed.
My honest answer to any home invasions question. "Would you do ANY of that?" Yes. "Would you be prepared in case...?" Yes. "What if they were just young messed-up hippies...would you...?" Yes. All of it.
I loved it. Yes, it keeps hanging there the whole time, oh yes, there´s this Manson thing going to happen which is brilliant. You are on the edge even though there doesn´t need to be any reminder in the film itself. Tarantino just takes a long time to play the joke on us. As with the flamethrower gag! I remember that the scene where he learns to work the flamethrower is sometime at the beginning? And then he uses it at the very end... I actually went to see it for the second time, people complain it´s too long but I enjoyed every second of it the second time as well.
This is one of my comfort movies now. Yeah, a Tarantino film. It just somehow magically transports me in this era of late 60s Hollywood, which makes me nostalgic for it. But I’m 29. It’s hard to explain.
The Guy directing the episode of "Lancer" is Nicholas Hammond. He played Friedrich Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and played the first live action Spider-Man(Peter Parker). The movie Sharon gos to see herself is "The Wrecking Crew"(1968) It is the 4th film in the Matt Helm Spy series. Dean Martin stars as Matt Helm and they are a lot of fun. A big part of the Spy movies in the 60s. If you watch one you will see how Austin Powers is closer to Matt Helm than James Bond.
The latest, more realistic criminal examination is that Manson never authorized the murders, Tex and the Manson girls took it upon themselves to pull off the heinous act. It was like a cat leaving a dead bird on a doorstep.
You should watch TRUE ROMANCE, written by Tarantino but directed by Tony Scott, brother to Ridley Scott. stellar cast including Brad Pitt, who plays Floyd, the burned out, useless roommate to one of the side characters, spending every day on the couch watching TV and smoking dope from a bong made out of a re-purposed Honeybear container. It's pure genius, especially when the bad guys come by the apartment and ask him for directions! 😂😂😂
Hi Jen! So glad you watched this. I absolutely love this movie. Regarding Roman Polanski you should definitely watch Chna Town. I've got an essay in mind relating this movie Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice and China Town all about crazy LA history. Good times! 🥂
I don't know if this is Tarantino's best movie, but I think it is his best crafted movie. If he stops making movies, good to see he went out on a high note.
Noice! Another amazing Tarantino film with Jen and her Serious Girl Spectacles. Cheers & Happy Hump Day, Y'all. 🥃☮❤ 15:01 I'm not generally a big fan of child actors but this movie features one of the greatest of the past (Dakota Fanning), and arguably the greatest of the present right here, Julia Butters (she was also hilarious in American Housewife). 36:18 The moment where a great movie becomes amazing.
You asked about Polanski films. One that he co-wrote ... directed and starred in is "The Fearless Vampire Killers" made in 1967 and also starred Sharon Tate. It is often overlooked in favor his more famous movies. Might be worth your while to give it a look see. "Wolf of Wall Street" ?? Defiantly.
😎👍 Should you decide to check out "The Great Escape" (1963), be on the lookout for 19 year old Harrison Ford who is a background extra with no lines. He's easy to spot, as the camera lingers on him for about 10 seconds. 😉 If you want to see what a teen-aged Kurt Russell looked like during the period in which this movie takes place, check out either "The Horse In The Gray Flannel Suit" (1968) or "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" (1969). 👟 As you've probably guessed, the whole concept of going from starring in a television show to making spaghetti westerns was based on Clint Eastwood's career. He was the star of the TV show "Rawhide" from 1959-1963, and then went on to make "A Fist Full Of Dollars" trilogy immediately afterwords.
When Tarantino learned that Sharon Tate's sister was angry that he was going to make a movie exploiting her murder, he contacted her, showed her the script and made some changes she suggested. She ended up being in favor of the movie.
Here's what Debra Tate had to say about the movie after visiting the set and seeing Margot Robbie perform the role: "She made me cry because she sounded just like Sharon," she said. "The tone in her voice was completely Sharon, and it just touched me so much that big tears [started falling]. The front of my shirt was wet. I actually got to see my sister again… nearly 50 years later."
Do you think Tarantino will make more movies?
PULP FICTION: th-cam.com/video/HMQ8lH4Ee68/w-d-xo.html
KILL BILL: th-cam.com/video/CTdpxOCWqyA/w-d-xo.html
Please watch Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino. Starring Samuel L. Jackson and Robert DeNiro. Also, it is my favorite Tarantino film.
@@jrobwoo688I agree
I hope he makes at least one more movie he's the goat
Heard a wee rumour he's wanting to do a remake of Happy feet 👣 .
After The Movie Critic, who knows. Soderbergh supposedly "retired" then was more prolific than ever.
I remember my theatre was laughing and cheering at the ending. It was a bittersweet ending but it’s also sad because we wish things could have been different in real life.
the ending is so moving it always brings a small tear to my eye! poor Sharon I wish this happened for real!
Yes in my go too. The ending is an absolute blast lol
know the name manson. never actually in vestigated it, so I dont know the ending irl - this should have been it though
Exactly. This was catharsis. If only...
I like to imagine that irl, a great deal of would-be Zodiac Killers end up caught with their trousers down, and get mowed like the embarassing dorks they are.
I really like in Jen’s reviews that she’s not oblivious to the historical context in movies like this. And also that she’s familiar with most of the old timey movie actors.
The John Wilkes Booth reference matches with the "hit him with a Lincoln" line.
It's refreshing to see a reaction by someone that actually knows a lot of the details of the actual events that took place. Most reactors have no idea who Sharon Tate or Charles Manson were or what really happened.
You have NO IDEA how incredibly happy I am to find a reaction where you know the background of everyone! I've watched reactions where I realize they don't even know who Manson or Sharon Tate even is!! The movie makes no sense at that point. Great job!
Out of all Tarantino movies this has to be the most rewatchable. The atmosphere, the soundtrack, the comedic buddy duo, the perfect Sharon Tate, and of course, th grandest, most cathartic ending to a film I've ever seen. Great choice for a reaction, Jen 👍
Oh it’s eminently rewatchable-But for me the top honor for rewatchablity goes to Reservoir Dogs
@@richlisola1Another one is "True Romance" written by Tarantino. While he didn't direct the film it's pure Quentin.
Funny you just saw Andy McDowell in Groundhog Day. That’s her daughter Margaret Qualley playing the hitchhiking hippie in this movie.
one of my favorite things about this story is that tarantino laid the foundation for us to surmise what happened to rick and cliff after this story.
after that crazy night of the attack, rick became friends with his neighbors and polanski put him in more movies, thus still needing cliff as his stunt double.
I kind of took the story of easy breezy more likely to reflect cliff after the attack than it ever did to Rick.
"What about this film, is it any good?" 'The Wrecking Crew' starring Dean Martin is the fourth Matt Helm film in the series. Matt Helm was a U.S. government counter agent. The Matt Helm movies are spoofs of James Bond so if you know anyone interested in James Bond then it would be a fun watch for them. Dean Martin had a larger than life personality that everyone loved and it's on full display in his movies. He was also a close associate of Frank Sinatra and co-starred in the original 'Ocean's 11'. Dean was also a popular singer with 35 albums to his credit. He was also part of a popular comedy team when he started out with a nut named Jerry Lewis. Dean also had his own TV show for 9 years.
The Great Escape is a Big YES!
I think that what Tarantino understood was that the audience did not want to see the Tate murders. What they really wanted to see was the Manson gang getting exterminated Tarantino style. Even though we know the truth of what really happened, it’s satisfying to see the Manson gang get theirs. Jen, your tension kept me on the edge of my seat all over again, even though I’ve seen the film many times. I think you really liked it, but I’m not sure, Polanski films I can recommend: Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, Frantic, The Ghost Writer. All four are great.
This is my absolute favorite Tarantino film! It's not the plot, the action, set design. It's the acting! There isn't a bad performance in this film. This is one of your best picks Jen, in a year with nothing but great choices! 😊thanks again Jen for all you do. Always here for more...Eric
Thanks Eric!
The acting between Leo and Brad is just the best, you belief they are really good friends.
@jenmurrayxo Jenny I do wish this ending was the actual ending of that night. The actual fate of pregnant Sharon Tate and friends was one of the most evil acts that ever happened Roman Polanski never got over these actual events.
I was just saying... Went to see it twice and enjoyed every second of it both times...
This is one of those special movies that I love more and more with each viewing. It’s got such an alluring “hang out” quality to it and it’s gotta be the closest thing to time travel the way it transports you back to 1969 so effectively. Plus the California Dreaming sequence near the end captures that summer evening “magic hour” feel so perfectly you can practically smell it
I think you hit the nail right on the head about what Tarantino was trying to accomplish with your interpretation of the western scene that Rick films.
Even though you knew Rick was just there filming a scene for a TV show, you momentarily forget that fact and are sucked into the moment worrying about him shooting the little girl. That's the magic of movie-making. Even though you know it's not real, for a brief moment it BECOMES real.
And I think that's what he inevitably wanted to do with this movie. In a way, he wants to save Sharon Tate at end through the magic of movie-making and make it real...even if just for a brief moment.
Great reaction, Jen
I find it impressive that the first half of the movie seems meandering (in an entertaining way) but you see how crucial all that information was as the climax plays out.
Might be my favorite Tarantino film.
18:27 This is the actual Sharon Tate we’re seeing on the movie screen, with Dean Martin, in footage from THE WRECKING CREW (1968).
You would probably enjoy this film as well as the 3 previous films in the Matt Helm series - THE SILENCERS (1966), MURDERERS’ ROW (1966), and THE AMBUSHERS (1967). THE WRECKING CREW (1968) is the last one that was made, and Bruce Lee really did train Sharon Tate in her martial arts moves.
If you do decide to watch a Roman Polanski film, the one I'd recommend is "Chinatown" - a great film with a great performance by Jack Nicholson. A lot of people consider the screenplay for the film one of the very best ever written, and it's often discussed in film schools as an example of great screenwriting.
Chinatown is awesome. One of Nicholson's best performances.
It's refreshing to watch a reaction to this movie from a reactor who actually knows the history and players involved. i was impressed that Jen knew who Dennis Wilson and Bruce Lee were.
I'm 58 and have a wide range of fav movies, but this is one of my fav movies ever !
The cinematography and attention to detail of the period is outstanding, and the twist at the end is amazing !
Peace n love from Australia 😎✌

A love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable.
It took Quentin Tarantino a lifetime of living, 5 years to write and a 2 hours 41 minutes watch. This is a love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable. Hippies, short skirts, westerns..... all have disappeared from our movie world. But worry not, Quentin Tarantino is here to remind us of old school film making from a once beloved industry which has been described as being on life support.
The performances are flawless. I was apprehensive about how the events of August 8, 1969 would be handled. But that is handled tastefully and respectfully, yet with the classic Tarantino flair.
Will be quite a bit for those under 40 who have no recollection of this Hollywood. Some will categorise this as an over indulgent nostalgia trip for movie geeks. And they are likely to be correct. But for those of us who complain that Hollywood is reduced to remakes and comic book films, QT delivers a unique and creative viewing experience.
I well up with Leo every time the little girl pays him that profound and much-needed compliment 😭
The Pretty lady from Groundhog Day (Andie Madowell) is the mother of Pussycat(Margaret Qualley) the young girl that Brad Pit picks up in his car.
Cool... never knew that 😊
There's a popular theory that this film is set in the same world as Inglorious Basterds, and when the full story of what happened in that theater gets declassified in the '70s, Rick is going to have his biggest hit ever playing Aldo Raines.
One of my 3 favorite Tarantino movies honestly. Loved the chemistry between the two leads, the recreation of The Great Escape (one of my favorites) with Leo swapped in for Steve McQueen, all the performances, the tension when Cliff is on the ranch, and the over the top ending.
My personal fan theory is that in this alternate universe, Maya Hawke’s character left the Mason family after abandoning her companions, changed her name, had a daughter that looks just like her/Uma Thurman and the daughter grew up to be The Bride in Kill Bill (or alternatively grew up to be Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction), thus linking real life mother and daughter's Tarantino roles🙂
Your fan theory isn't far off.
Watching this movie is like watching my childhood come alive. I grew up in The San Fernando Valley. & really appreciate the little details like Cliff taking the Panorama City off-ramp & driving to The Van Nuys drive-in, which is geographically correct. There are a bunch of examples of little elements in this movie, which, Tarantino adds to this movie that take it to the next level in that respect. BTW.. Spahn Ranch is gone but the property seems accessible.
Fun fact---there are 2 Harley Quinns in this movie: Margot Robbie and Kevin Smith's daughter, Harley Quinn Smith (she's one of the creepy girls at Spaun Ranch). I'm not sure, but I think that the whole bit about Cliff murdering his wife was inspired by the death of Natalie Wood (the woman in the flashback scene even said something about having a sister named Natalie), even though that happened in the late 70's, if memory serves. Natalie Wood was found dead in the water just off the boat her, her husband Robert Wagner ( Number Two from the Austin Powers movies), and Christopher Walken (yes, THAT Christopher Walken) were partying on. They've never really definitively solved the case but Wagner and Walken were never charged with anything.
I just subscribed based on your reaction. You were quite informed, which was refreshing, and I thought it was hilarious that you kept anticipating “murder” through the entire movie!
The part with Cliff going to the ranch to see his old friend and finding Manson's hippies there actually happened. But in real life, it was The Lone Ranger actor Clayton Moore. After the Tate murder and the arrest of the hippies, Clayton saw them on the news and recognized a couple of them from the ranch.
Jen, you'll find this interesting since you recently reacted to Groundhog Day (co-starring Andie MacDowell).... The hippie girl in this film picked up by Brad Pitt's character is Margaret Qualley, who is Andie's real-life daughter!
Brad Pitt won a Sag award for this movie and in his acceptance speech he said ‘Quentin Tarantino has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA”.
Holy shit that's funny.
He also won an Oscar. Well deserved!
what is the tsa?
@@ricardo_miguel13 The American Transport Safety Authority - they are the people who search people and luggage at airports etc.
@@theaikidoka Ah okay hahah thank you
Awesome as always, Jen! 😊The girl who drove away from the murders is Uma Thurman's daughter. And the girl who gave Brad Pitt the acid dipped cigarette played Uma Thurman's daughter in Kill Bill.
Good reaction. Glad I watched it again myself. I noticed more cameos I missed the first time. Kurt's wife in the movie was Zoe from "Death Proof". One of the least popular Tarantino films, but I loved it. Kurt was 'Stuntman Mike', one of the best bad guys ever.🧐
I laughed at how on edge you were about the murders the whole movie. LOL.
The episode of The FBI Leo was in actually starred Burt Reynolds as the bad guy. Lancer was a real tv show whose star Jim Stacy was seriously injured a motorcycle accident. You can see him riding away on his bike at the end of filming.
That stunt double could be a movie star himself!
37:28 I always thought, it was really nice of Cliff to give her a premium guided tour around the house... 😑🤕🤣
Can we all please appreciate the beast song choice by Tarantino in this scene as well? Vanilla Fudge - "You keep me hangin´ on" is one of the best songs from 60es. 😎👍💯
Tarantino did write a novelization of this movie. I've not read it, but I've heard that they show more about what happened on the boat with Cliff and his wife, and also what happened with Cliff and Rick after the events of this movie.
Oh, I get it! The shots from Operatione Dy-No-Mite had a familiar actor, and it took me a moment to remember Steve Railsback, and another wondering at the choice to cast him here, 'out of the blue' as it were...
But of course! He played Charlie Manson in the film "Helter Skelter."
This is probably the Tarantino film I enjoy the most. It also feels like the most natural and authentic somehow. Don’t know how to explain it really.
This movie is a love letter to 1960s Hollywood,In my opinion it is a masterpiece!
It's a love letter to what might have been. What could have been. If only things happened differently.
It's a 'what if' scenario where Clint Eastwood, the gun toting Californian was able to kill the psychotic socialists who would otherwise have killed the pregnant Sharon Tate.
Every shot just oozes the 60's.
Most electric midnight showing I've been to, people were laughing and cheering like crazy at the climax.
This one ties with "Jackie Brown" as my favorite Tarantino. I don't love everything he does, but whatever he comes out with is usually worth a look.
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has one of my favorite Tarantino music re-uses. The music at the very end when Rick's walking up the drive with Jay to meet Sharon and the gang is the main theme from a film called "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean." It's a self-consciously legendary, sometimes almost cartoon-ish western with Paul Newman that's a lot of fun and begins with an on screen title that essentially says, "This might not be exactly how it happened, but it's the way it should have been." First time I saw "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was at the cinema where Margot Robbie goes to see "The Wrecking Crew," which was kinda cool, and when that music creeped in at the end I instantly knew what it was and thought of that title from "Roy Bean" and kinda fell apart in my seat. It doesn't take much for me to cry during movies but this one hit me hard.
Like many I was dreading seeing the murders. Scuttlebutt was that Tarantino went really violent for the climax and I REALLY did not want to see Margot Robbie get killed. I was wondering if I should sneak out before the end and spare myself that but then Linda Kasabian got into the gang's car and drove away (I know a lot more about the Manson gang's activities than can possibly be good for me) and I realized Tarantino was going to "Inglourius Basterds" the Manson murders. I was SO happy that my audible reaction to what should have been the lead-up to horrible killings kinda of pissed off moviegoers around me. I did not care though, 'cuz Margot wasn't gonna get killed on screen and that made my day. 😃
One neat casting trick Tarantino tried was having the Manson girls (where possible, anyway) played by daughters of famous Hollywood actors - to bring to creepy life Manson's stated intention of 'educating' the kids and sending them back to kill their parents. Pussycat was played by Margaret Qualley who is Andie MacDowall's daughter, Linda Kasabian was played by Maya Hawke who is Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke's daughter, Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith is in there somewhere, and that's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure he would have liked to take that further than he did.
I'm not sure how many people are aware that Sam Wanamaker (a real life actor and director who was doing his thing around the time the movie takes place) was played by Nicholas Hammond who played the oldest Von Trapp son in "The Sound of Music." I liked seeing him in this, and he's clearly having a ball. 😄
The guy who played Tex is Austin Butler who would become famous playing Elvis in the biopic with Tom Hanks a few years later. That is a good movie as well. I haven’t seen many reactors react to it.
Yes, you should definitely check out Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie.
I only just noticed that was A.Butler, on this YT review. I’ve seen this film four times - yet “Elvis” was not made, until a few recent. He’s in “Dune, 2” and the upcoming WW2 “Masters of the Air”.
Once upon a time in Hollywood.... there was an independent filmmaker named Herschell Gordon Lewis who directed many low-budget exploitation films in Miami, Chicago, California, Texas, etc. In 1969 one film he directed was a softcore exploitation western named 'Linda and Abilene'. It was filmed in 1969 at the Spahn Ranch when it was then inhabited by the Charles Manson Family/Cult.... a few months before the Tate-LaBianca murders. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and his entire film crew and cast were aware that the Manson Family was a crazed hippy cult. According to Lewis, he and his crew never met Charles Manson himself, but they were dozens of so-called Manson girls roaming around and gawking with curiosity at the crew during the filming.
In a 2009 interview, H.G. Lewis recalled that the Manson Family had several pet dogs roaming around the ranch, one of which had a large bell attached to its collar which made noise every time the dog moved. Annoyed at the bell ringing which was interfering with the filming, Lewis and one of his crewmen went to the dog and began to remove the bell collar around the dog's neck when two of the Manson girls, who had been standing nearby, suddenly ran up and physically shoved both Lewis and the crewman to the ground and they loudly threatened to kill both of them if they tried to take off the bell collar or touch their dog again. Lewis and the crewman defused the situation by apologizing and walking away from a possible violent confrontation and renewed filming on the movie.
I'm so delighted that you're reacting to this movie, Jen! It's definitely one of Tarantino's best films, and deservedly landed Brad Pitt an Oscar!
@JenMurray: Yours is the BEST reaction for this movie, EVER! You know enough about the history to make this great. Every other reaction can fuck themselves.
Excited for this reaction Jen. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and I remember this era, and remember well the events portrayed in this movie, which makes this my favorite Tarantino movie. Can't wait for your reaction.
Tarantino has confirmed that Cliff Booth DID kill his wife.
Also, this was Tarantino's 9th film. He said he would retire after his 10th film.
This movie is a great example of internal conflict vs external conflict. The story is ultimately about two past their prime men and how they finally become useful again at the end.
Batman 66 Morbid fact: if the Manson Family went to the house next door as they did in real life, they would have killed Sharon Tate and a Hollywood hairdresser called Jay Sebring, who played a Hollywood hairdresser in the third season of the Batman 66 season.
Oh and I forgot Jen, there is an two part episode with the Green Hornet and Kato, Kato played by Bruce Lee. Even though he and Burt Ward Robin were friends and practice martial arts together, it is said Robin was quite nervous in their fight scenes.
As always, love the reaction. Keep it up. Hi to your sister.
This might be my fav DiCaprio performance.
Personally mine is The Departed but he was great in this too!
Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Supporting Actor Brad Pitt and Best Production Design.
I heard when people saw the ending, they were shocked, but also they were cheering.
When I saw it, people started applauding when DiCaprio walked out with the flame thrower.
Great reaction Jen like always, I love this movie... When Tarantino pulls the ripcord and it goes bananas, it is just so much fun. And Its alternate ending to real-life events is meant to be controversial, but for me, it’s a vision of how everything should have happened if the world was fair or, indeed, a fairy tale… in Hollywood. There some fun-facts about this movie, screen legend Burt Reynolds was originally cast for the role of George Spahn, but passed away at 82 before he could film his scenes. However, he was still able to leave his own mark on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by suggesting Bruce Lee’s (Mike Moh) remark that Cliff Booth is “kinda pretty for a stunt guy.” Burt Reynolds is not the only actor who helped created some memorable moments from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, such as Booth's profane pep talk to Rick Dalton (a Brad Pitt ad-lib inspired by a real-life experience of his) or the latter character's Lancer mistake and subsequent, and completely improvised, trailer freakout, both of which were Leonardo DiCaprio's suggestions. Practical Effects Were Used To Recreate 1969 Los Angeles, Quentin Tarantino opted against using CGI for the authentic, Oscar-winning recreation of Los Angeles circa 1969 in this movie, claiming that even if the audience did not notice the difference. One effect from this movie that was, surprisingly, also practical is Rick Dalton's flamethrower from The 14 Fists of McCluskey, for which a hesitant Leonardo DiCaprio actually set actors on fire. It took some convincing from co-stunt coordinators Zoe Bell and Robert Alonzo, the latter of which let DiCaprio set him on fire first, before the actor felt comfortable making "fried sauerkraut" out of the stunt crew. Rick Dalton’s MAD Caricature Became The Real Cover Art For The Magazine’s Final Issue.
Bruce Lee’s Daughter Was Unimpressed With The Depiction Of Her Father. Shannon Lee, the daughter of Lee, described her father's depiction in the movie to The Wrap as "an arrogant asshole who was full of hot air." Despite attempts to defend the portrayal from Mike Moh, who plays the kung fu movie legend in the film. Margot Robbie’s performance brought Sharon Tate’s sister to tears, Sharing Nina Tooley's sentiment over the movie is Debra Tate, the sister of tragic starlet Sharon Tate, who initially condemned the film upon its mere announcement until Quentin Tarantino personally reached out to her about his intentions. Tarantino has a personal connection to another Los Angeles cinema that receives mention in this movie, specifically when Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring (Emile Hirsch) discuss an adult movie premiere taking place at a nearby theater. The theater in question is the Eros, known today as The New Beverly and owned by Quentin Tarantino. Keep up the amazing work.
Your reaction to this movie was very enjoyable. It's nice to see someone watch this one with at least some idea of what it's about, unlike many reactors who have no earthly clue. "Hullabaloo" was a real TV show back in the late 60s that tried to be "hip" for the younger viewers. The guest hosts would often be celebrities who didn't really fit in, like Robert Vaughn ("The Man From UNCLE") or Jerry Lewis, and their attempts to sing were usually as cringe-inducing as Rick Dalton's. Some think the finale is too violent, but for those of us who lived during those horrible events, seeing Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkle (not to mention the imbecilic Clem Grogan during the tire scene) get their just desserts in so graphic a manner is incredibly cathartic. All that's missing is for Cliff to get a crack at Manson himself.
Enjoyed your reaction to this!!! The brunette hippie girl was played by Margaret Qualley, who was nominated for an Emmy for Best Actress in the Netflix series Maid. Squeaky Fromme was played by Dakota Fanning. In the last scene Margot Robbie is seen wearing a number 17 football jersey. The jersey is a Dallas Cowboys jersey representing their quarterback Don Meredith at the time. Sharon Tate was from Dallas. Again, enjoyed your reaction!
Damn Jen, you have a heck of a lot of knowledge, makes your commentary so much better!
This, I think, is Tarantino's second masterpiece (after Jackie Brown). Not only did he film in & around Hollywood, but he also did a damn fine job of transporting the city back to the late '60's/early '70's, right down to some vehicles that you would have seen on the streets on a regular basis (though, I don't recall seeing any Helms Bakery trucks in the film).
I know several people in the film industry, and the employment aspect is pretty much spot on.
I won't go into other events in the film...🙂
"Lancer" was a TV show.
Thanks for sharing, you got super chill vibes :D
This movie gave great insight to the inner workings of the TV and movie industry and how actors were used and perceived by the viewers. For any of you Jen fans that aren't patreons you just don't know what you're missing. Jens full length reactions are worth every penny of the price of admission. I cannot stress enough to jump on board the Jen Express, you wont' be disappointed.
I don't even have a job at the moment, but I imagine you're absolutely correct! She's great. :)
The 2 leads were losely based on Burt Reynolds and his stunt double friend Hal Needham.
Jen you are in my top 3 YT reaction channels! I just wanna say I love your videos and I have been waiting all day to settle in, elevate, and go along with you on another QT coaster! ✌️💯💚
Thank you! Hope u enjoy!
As a cinephile this is one of my top Tarantino films of all time!
So the ending itself is very promising for Rick and Cliff's friendship. It's kind of insinuated that the new friendship between Rick and the Polanskis, probably will provide Rick with a new movie contract, so that Cliffs and Ricks collaboration may be resumed.
"it's so weird to watch a movie of somebody watching a movie"
very meta.
I didn't know Sharon, never knew her. I will never know her. No one else ever will. So I am grateful that this film helped me get to know her.
I Seen This Movie On TV Last Night and it was really good
My honest answer to any home invasions question.
"Would you do ANY of that?" Yes.
"Would you be prepared in case...?" Yes.
"What if they were just young messed-up hippies...would you...?" Yes. All of it.
I loved it. Yes, it keeps hanging there the whole time, oh yes, there´s this Manson thing going to happen which is brilliant. You are on the edge even though there doesn´t need to be any reminder in the film itself. Tarantino just takes a long time to play the joke on us. As with the flamethrower gag! I remember that the scene where he learns to work the flamethrower is sometime at the beginning? And then he uses it at the very end...
I actually went to see it for the second time, people complain it´s too long but I enjoyed every second of it the second time as well.
This is one of my comfort movies now. Yeah, a Tarantino film. It just somehow magically transports me in this era of late 60s Hollywood, which makes me nostalgic for it. But I’m 29. It’s hard to explain.
Absolutely. I'm 28 but this movie makes me feel nostalgic for a time period my parents weren't even around for.
I’m 56 & this film makes me so nostalgic for that era & also for the TV shows I grew up watching in the 70’s.
finally get to make a premiere 🥳 really looking forward to it and jens reaction ofc 🙌
The Guy directing the episode of "Lancer" is Nicholas Hammond. He played Friedrich Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and played the first live action Spider-Man(Peter Parker). The movie Sharon gos to see herself is "The Wrecking Crew"(1968) It is the 4th film in the Matt Helm Spy series. Dean Martin stars as Matt Helm and they are a lot of fun. A big part of the Spy movies in the 60s. If you watch one you will see how Austin Powers is closer to Matt Helm than James Bond.
8:10 Master and Commander
Dang! Another Miss Jen reaction I can't wait for. Definitely entertaining!
*Cliff smokes acid cigarette*
My family and I way too many times: “This is where the fun begins!”
yeah you said it; it’s tarantino’s unofficial revisionist revenge trilogy
Great Escape? Definitely!
Valley of the Dolls? ummmmmaybe.
My favorite movie of all time now being watched by my favorite TH-cam reactor! Yes!
The Spahn Ranch was real. It burned down in the early-1970's.
Hollywood stuntmen hated Bruce Lee and Robert Conrad, cus they would hit for real
The latest, more realistic criminal examination is that Manson never authorized the murders, Tex and the Manson girls took it upon themselves to pull off the heinous act. It was like a cat leaving a dead bird on a doorstep.
Need to watch True Romance which is best tarantino film that tarantino didnt direct (he did write it though).
You should watch TRUE ROMANCE, written by Tarantino but directed by Tony Scott, brother to Ridley Scott. stellar cast including Brad Pitt, who plays Floyd, the burned out, useless roommate to one of the side characters, spending every day on the couch watching TV and smoking dope from a bong made out of a re-purposed Honeybear container. It's pure genius, especially when the bad guys come by the apartment and ask him for directions! 😂😂😂
You would like the Matt Helm movies , campy 60s secret agent movies w Dean Martin and a lot of females. These were big influence for Austin powers
One of my favorite movies, can't wait for your reaction!
Hi Jen! So glad you watched this. I absolutely love this movie. Regarding Roman Polanski you should definitely watch Chna Town. I've got an essay in mind relating this movie Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice and China Town all about crazy LA history. Good times! 🥂
The egg whites make cocktails frothy
I don't know if this is Tarantino's best movie, but I think it is his best crafted movie. If he stops making movies, good to see he went out on a high note.
Awesome reaction Jen keep up the great work. That last scene was awesome . Hello again from pa USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤.
I think you should watch Death Proof next it's one of my favorite Kurt Russell movies
YES!!!
When I was a kid, my dad took me and my brother to a drive-in. It was a double feature of Star Wars and Moonraker. Awesome times!
Noice! Another amazing Tarantino film with Jen and her Serious Girl Spectacles. Cheers & Happy Hump Day, Y'all. 🥃☮❤
15:01 I'm not generally a big fan of child actors but this movie features one of the greatest of the past (Dakota Fanning), and arguably the greatest of the present right here, Julia Butters (she was also hilarious in American Housewife).
36:18 The moment where a great movie becomes amazing.
You asked about Polanski films. One that he co-wrote ... directed and starred in is "The Fearless Vampire Killers" made in 1967 and also starred Sharon Tate. It is often overlooked in favor his more famous movies. Might be worth your while to give it a look see. "Wolf of Wall Street" ?? Defiantly.
Polanski? The Fearless Vampire Killers/Dance of the Vampires. A 1967 comedy horror with Sharon Tate.
So Excited for this one❤
Regarding Bruce Lee, there's also his 1993 biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Solid film.
If you want to see the *real* Bruce Lee, watch *Enter The Dragon* 🐲👊🏼
😎👍 Should you decide to check out "The Great Escape" (1963), be on the lookout for 19 year old Harrison Ford who is a background extra with no lines. He's easy to spot, as the camera lingers on him for about 10 seconds. 😉 If you want to see what a teen-aged Kurt Russell looked like during the period in which this movie takes place, check out either "The Horse In The Gray Flannel Suit" (1968) or "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" (1969). 👟 As you've probably guessed, the whole concept of going from starring in a television show to making spaghetti westerns was based on Clint Eastwood's career. He was the star of the TV show "Rawhide" from 1959-1963, and then went on to make "A Fist Full Of Dollars" trilogy immediately afterwords.
That’s not Harrison Ford though. Don’t take my word for it, google it and see it debunked.
When Tarantino learned that Sharon Tate's sister was angry that he was going to make a movie exploiting her murder, he contacted her, showed her the script and made some changes she suggested. She ended up being in favor of the movie.
That's crazy!
Here's what Debra Tate had to say about the movie after visiting the set and seeing Margot Robbie perform the role:
"She made me cry because she sounded just like Sharon," she said. "The tone in her voice was completely Sharon, and it just touched me so much that big tears [started falling]. The front of my shirt was wet. I actually got to see my sister again… nearly 50 years later."
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too
I haven't been to a drive-in for decades, but it's a great experience, especially with a good sound system in your car.
