    The fight between Bruce Lee and Cliff was a flashback.

    Seems like that was something he was thinking about when he was on the roof fixing the antenna, but, hell I don't know. It seems like the movie was a little loose with timelines to a certain extent.

    I think the cuts to the film caused some of these issues

    No, he was working as Rick's stunt double. Rick was going to be on "The Green Hornet".

    Wait, yes, to what you said. Sorry.

    Tarantino has an active mind, he invents these characters and all the details of their lives, that all takes him probably a couple years at least. Then he casts the film and directs it. I find it hard to believe he's going to stop his storytelling after one more film. No more than I would have believed Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan would have quit writing songs in their fifties.

    My recollection was that was how Cliff became persona non grata-- wife of Kurt hated Cliff, but Kurt gave him another chance, which led to the Bruce Lee encounter. Thus, Cliff no longer on set, running errands, his career on the skids too- he's Rick's driver and gofer and hang-out buddy.

    The guy Cliff beat up at the Ranch was Steve Grogan, the only Manson follower paroled thus far, in the 80's. He was convicted for killing Shorty Shea the ranch hand. That might be him working the horses in the corral during the beat down.

    I thought Cliff was calling him TIM. It was only after looking at the IMDB cast that I realized that he was saying CLEM(Steve Grogan), and not TIM.

    Looking at the credits of the movie the answer seems to be China. Instead of Weinstein, many of the producers were Chinese.

    I wonder if he was in a bit part and got cut? (I’m dying to know what the movie is that Rick supposedly acted in which got Bounty Law cancelled). Even though his part was tiny In Django, he always makes me smile.

    Tarantino has generally said, "what the audience saw IS the director's cut. Anything else is just an alternate."

    Accept all his films as "alternate history," and it's fine. There were no massive slave revolts where they massacred 50 white people on a plantation in the 1860s, either. Kill Bill never happened. They're all just fantasies, basically very violent comic books. I have no problem accepting them on that level.

    A flashback WITHIN a flashback, which makes me crazy.

    Why does this thread exist? We’re discussing a film that already of course has a thread.

    I was not aware of this as well. The only member that got out of jail. Probably the only one that ever will.

    Is it even possible to smoke acid? I thought that was another
    little joke. I can't remember if there was a banana peel ref
    somewhere. Kinda Dylanesque, as in,

    "... he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette ..."

    IF our "justice system" works at all, which lately I have my doubts.

    Because not everyone sees a film in the first week, and not everyone apparently knows how to use the Spoiler tag.

    Yes I can see how this could be confusing it happens very quickly: the whole thing with Bruce Lee is a flashback. Brad Pitt climbs on the roof to fix antenna and he has a flashback to the whole Bruce Lee thing. then it flashes or began to him on the roof as Charles Manson pulls up

    It was like 'night-out-at-the-old-folks-home' at the showing I went to!
    Funny thing was ;
    for all the violence and cursing, the thing that got the crowd going, "ewwww!" (myself included) was when Pitt licked the dog-food!
