Quentin Tarantino presented one of his more abysmal films with The Hateful 8 in 2016. You can see why this is so with your own eyes Amazon Prime * see, because from now on the chamber drama western will draw a trail of blood through the catalogue. But if you look closely, you will also see a guitar that is over 140 years old being smashed – which of course was not planned.
The Hateful 8 unfolds tension in a confined space
After his western Django Unchained, Tarantino wanted to make a sequel of sorts, but then decided to write the story without the main character. The Hateful 8 is set in 1877. The American Civil War ended a little over a decade ago, but the fronts remain hardened in people’s minds. So too on a snowy day in Wyoming, as a A bunch of strangers take shelter in Minnie’s lingerie store.

Jackson), bounty hunter John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), his prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and Confederate General Sandy Smithers (Bruce Dern). . As if the political disagreements between former wartime foes weren’t enough, none of them shy away from murder. In a confined space, power games and murder plots take their course.

Samuel L Jackson in The Hateful 8
In The Hateful 8 you can expect a crime western with strong dialogue, in which nobody can be trusted and everyone schemes against each other. The concept is similar to Basement bar scene from Inglourious Basterds, expanded into a feature film.
In contrast to Once upon a Time in Hollywood or Django Unchained, however, the film does not offer any easy identification figures, but rather thrives on the ruthlessness of everyone who flees from the cold in Minnie’s lingerie shop. In recent years, few American filmmakers have dealt so bluntly with the deep political turmoil in their country, which lingers on into the present day.
Why Kurt Russell smashed a museum piece
Actually, with its limited location, The Hateful 8 was a more affordable affair than the previously filmed Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. Despite this, costly damage was caused during intensive production.
Film legend Kurt Russell was responsible for the momentous mistake. As the “executor” he has to keep the ruthless Daisy Domergue in check. When she plays guitar in one scene, he takes the musical instrument from her and smashes it on a wooden beam. Actress Jennifer Jason Leigh is shocked – and rightly so. Russell accidentally destroys a genuine 1870s Martin acoustic guitar on loan to the production from a museum in this scene captured on film.
The error came about as Sound Mixer Mark Ulano later explained to SSNInsider.com:
Actually, the scene should run up to a cut, then should the guitars be exchanged and a double destroyed. But apparently Kurt wasn’t told that, so if you did [im Film] see, then Jennifer’s reaction is genuine.

Tarantino, the filmmaker, sat in the corner and laughed up his sleeve, as Ulano explained. Because he was said to be happy about them authentic reaction that mishap wrested from Jennifer Jason Leigh.
The “Priceless and irreplaceable museum piece“was beyond saving and the responsible museum then decided never again to lend objects to film productions, as Reverb reported.
