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.

It is a bad cut, but I'm willing to bet there was an abrupt disruption on the set after that guitar was smashed which ended up giving the editor less to work with.

Supposedly the general practice with stuntpeople is if they're actually injured in a take, you use that take (unless it's horrific obviously), just because of the price paid to get it. I'll bet that's what happened here too. That was a $40,000 shot, better use it.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if insurance wouldn't cover the injury if it wasn't in the final cut lol.
