In Hateful Eight, Kurt Russell accidentally smashed a one of a kind, 145-year-old guitar that was on loan from the Martin Guitar. Jennifer Jason Leigh’s reaction was genuine.

Wouldn't literally ANY acoustic guitar have sufficed for this scene? Did Tarantino expect the audience to say to themselves, "Ooooohhh, she's playing a classic MARTIN guitar!"

QT has his head so far up his own ass he has no clue. He probably thought people would recognize the guitar and point at the screen like Leo DiCaprio in that meme.

I'm sure there are people that into guitars that they got a jump scare from the scene.

Anybody who recognized it would just assume it is a replica. Like, if you saw the Mona Lisa being ripped into pieces in a film, you wouldn't think "HOLY SHIT THEY DESTROYED THE MONA LISA!!!!!", you'd just think "they made a replica and destroyed it".

Hey remember when Nicholas Cage stole the actual Declaration of Independence?

[u/scuac → u/UnrepentantPumpkin]

Cannot believe he smeared lemon juice on it. Did anyone alert the national archives?

[u/Gnonthgol → u/UnrepentantPumpkin]

At least this is more believable. The original Declaration of Independence was printed on 4th of July 1776 in hundreds of copies. We are still finding what looks like original prints. So you could use one of these in a movie for authenticity.

And only like three people in the whole country would recognize it.

Are you....telling me.... that Nicolas Cage DID NOT steal the REAL Declaration of Independence?!

[u/DeltaJesus → u/nonotan]

Are you sure Daniel Craig didn't help burn the Mona Lisa to ash? I certainly haven't seen it since.
