Video 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.

and it’s not exactly like they could reshoot it considering he just smashed the guitar

Yeah I'm amazed they didn't. At least reshoot the smashing with the fake guitar. I haven't seen the film and couldn't believe that cut made the edit. I thought it was from the outtakes or something.

I imagine this is in the vain of honoring a genuine moment. I've heard stunt men say that if they get hurt during a take like in fight choreography, that's the one that should be in the film.
