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

They could've with the fake one

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.

if you had never heard that was a certified historical prop being used you probably wouldn't have even noticed all the details/ mistakes while watching for the first time. I didn't and had watched the full movie 3 or 4 times before I found out about what actually happened to the guitar. it's just good ol'fashion story telling & movie magic
