Once upon a time in Hollywood

[billh]

Sharon Tate's car def presented as a 73 911S sunroof coupe
"S" spoiler, black grill, "2.4" badge, etc
Pretty big miss for a film set in '69
Good movie, and a lot of vintage VW's as well (Brad Pitt's Ghia convertible, tons of Beetles & Bus', etc)

The movie was not about Porsche’s. It was about a era
In Hollywood. As far as year of which Porsche
Is irrelevant .

Actually it is relevant, as Tarantino did a LOT to make the era "Right"
Many who live/lived there have noted how many things he got correct, and how it truly captured that time
To miss details on a car, prominently featured, by 4 years is a biggie
Also interesting to note that "Porsche" was consulted on for the film, thought they would have got that part right....
And since this is an early 911 board, well, it is pertinent

As far as the movie, I enjoyed (as I do all Tarantino films). A tad slow in spots but nonetheless enjoyable. Nice to see an actual "new" movie vs. another re-do of a comic book action sequel....

A tad slow?

Finally saw it; almost 3 hours long. I nodded off twice.

I was really looking forward to seeing that ugly Corvair a fourth time but was disappointed. However the ending was classic Tarantino: Random Insanity.

Sounded like a lot of obligatory courtesy laughing going on in the theatre just because it was a QT film. 3 stars.

I stay in 3 star hotels so maybe I will go see this.

Mike,
Make sure you buy discounted tickets.


I’m sure some of the scenes evoked an immeasurable sense of nostalgia for those who lived in LA in the 70’s... like taking a trip through a full-scale wax city.

Again, I know “awkward and sluggish” is his brand but give me a break... 160 minutes?
And there’s no end to beating Hollywood up on “reality” but Kato would have to be shot out of a cannon at close range to mangle the Continental that way. Lol. AND that would have been one dead hornet.

All good.

I’m just sorry I didn’t wait til it was on Netflix.

I love QT....and Brad and Leo...but man that was a hard watch for 65% of the film......Id not see it again....

and the era/yr on the 911 is a biggie, considering the movie specifically wanted us to know the yr and month thru out the film

“The lady doth protest too much methinks.”

Curt, given the endless resources in So Cal to get that detail right, just curious why you would defend them on this?

Sounds like a technical “expert” cut corners to line their own pockets.

Perhaps finding a 69 that an owner wanted to place at risk was not possible. I have heard of several reports of classic cars being treated simply as props by the crew. I certainly wouldn't put one of my classic cars at risk for the paltry sum they offer.

I would.

In a NY minute.

In this image conscience, valadation-seeking culture what a FANTASTIC way to build value into an asset.
