On TV now. Saw in theaters. Slow movie getting in but I forgot how insane and Tarantino esque the last 45 min was. Brad Pitt high, the dog, dog food can, the bashing in of hippies faces. The flamethrower. Laugh out loud insanity. 
OT- Once upon a time in Hollywood...
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Bruce Lee scene was comical. Brad Pitt is a dude. I can do without DiCaprio though.
Brad Pitt takes off his fake hair just to reveal better hair.
I’m finding Pitt is acting and aging like a fine wine, just gets better. No homo

I love this movie. I have watched it probably twenty times and I laugh my ass off every time I watch the big ending. Absolutely bonkers. The Bruce Lee fight scene was likely SORT of true. The stuntman that likely kicked his ass was Judo Gene Lebell. He is a gorilla of a man who in addition to being a black belt in judo and early MMA practitioner, he was also a stuntman and a professional wrestler. Bruce Lee was known to be a dick to American stuntmen and known to not pull his punches. The stunt community had some ringers they would hire for one day on the set to give guys like that some of their own medicine. Lebell worked on the Green Hornet as a stuntman and as a bad guy extra. You can find real scenes from that show of Bruce Lee kicking the crap out of him in a scene. Lebell said the two of them trained together to learn more about each others strengths. Lebell is also famous for being seventy years old and putting Steven Seagal to sleep after he claimed he could easily get out of Lebells sleeper hold. Seagal punched him in the johnson and then went to sleep. Then he crapped his pants.

Judo Gene LeBell: Bruce Lee Was the Best Martial Artist of His Time
You probably know that Gene LeBell and Bruce Lee worked and trained together, but do you know what "Judo" Gene thinks about the "Little Dragon"? For example, how did Lee react to LeBell's grappling?

Um, Pitt pretty much blows as an actor, although this role is pretty good for him
He's a solid actor who has done some good and great movies. Oceans eleven, 12, 13. Troy, Moneyball, Fury, World War Z, Inglourious Basterds, Jesse James Robert Ford movie, Babel, Snatch, Fight Club, The Devils Own, Sleepers, Seven, Interview with the Vampire, Legends of the Fall, 12 monkeys, Kalifornia, A River runs through it, Thelma and Louise.

He's been in a bunch, but he is at best very average, he just happens to be one of the best looking quys on the planet, so he gets gigs.
He won an Academy Award for this role, so someone must think he's a good actor.
No. He got an Oscar nomination for 12 monkeys. He was great in Fury, Jesse James, Snatch, The Big Short and fight club to name just a few.
Yup. Definite A lister. I wasn't a big fan of Leo at first either because of Titanic. Once he started doing better roles I think he's very talented. Calvin Candie in Django was incredible. The Departed, Gangs of NY, Blood Diamond, The Revenant, Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, Catch me if you Can. The Basketball Diaries. Anything Scorcese and Leo do is great.

Agree. I think his acting in The Departed and Catch Me If You Can is top notch. Both really great movies and he stands out among top notch casts in both movies.
He used to have good looks. Now he's starting to look like a chubby pug. I'll agree that his acting is pretty good though.
I thought that's what we were talking about. So when you say you could do without Dicaprio, you were talking about his appearance? Oh. Well, that is a little awkward, but i would say 99.9 % of the our wives / gf's would swap our looks for those of Dicaprio.
You know the chick who plays Pitts wife in the movie (who he supposedly murderer on a boat) is Rebecca Gayheart, former Noxema girl from the 90s. Super hot
De Niro plays De Niro. Same guy all the time just a different situation.
Pitt acts.
Go Blue!
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is easily one of my all time faves…along with Shawshank I will stop to watch it whenever shows on TV. It doesn’t matter what scene - it’s great.
And frankly, I thought Leo was better than Pitt in the movie. But both were great.
If you haven’t seen it - go out of your way to do so. Without the kids….

Sleepers was a good movie where he plays a lawyer. Ton of big names in it. Deniro, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Patric, Kevin Bacon, Minnie Driver, Ron Eldard
Find a pic of Redford in Jeremiah Johnson without the beard and that's Brad in Hollywood.

When I first saw the movie I had flashbacks about the time I spent up on the streets of Hollywood on weekends as a teenager in the sixties. It was a crazy but fun time back then with all the Rock n Roll, muscle cars, girls and KHJ radio.
Seven has gotta be up there. "What's in the box??" That ending still freaks me out.
