Storyline

Some time after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. Bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive captive Daisy Domergue race towards the town of Red Rock, where Ruth will bring Daisy to justice. Along the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren (an infamous bounty hunter) and Chris Mannix (a man who claims to be Red Rock's new sheriff). Lost in a blizzard, the bunch seeks refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery. When they arrive they are greeted by unfamiliar faces: Bob, who claims to be taking care of the place while Minnie is gone; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; Joe Gage, a cow puncher; and confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, the eight travelers come to learn that they might not make it to Red Rock after all... Written by Jordan Crighton

Trivia

This is the eighth film by Quentin Tarantino, and uses the number eight in the title, this is similar to Fellini's film (1963), a film that got it's name for being Fellini's eighth and a half film. This film is most likely paying homage to Fellini's film, as Tarantino included references to it in previous films like Pulp Fiction (1994). See more »

Goofs

The writer of the Lincoln letter uses the word "hopefully" in the modern (and some say incorrect) sense: "Hopefully, sometime we can meet..." or words to that effect. A writer in the late 1800s -- whether Lincoln or Major Warren -- probably wouldn't have used it that way. See more »

Crazy Credits

The roadshow version of the film opens with a faux-vintage Weinstein Company logo, in flat white-on-blue with a very 70s font along with a "Cinerama" logo. The first few credits appear in the same font as the logo's before switching to Tarantino's usual Friz Quadrata. The standard release opens with only the normal Weinstein Company logo before going directly into the sweeping Panavision shots. See more »

If Tarantino was not the director, would all of these fanboys be going so crazy over it?
29 December 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Anybody that uses the words brilliant or masterpiece in regards to this film, does not know what those words mean. I mean, let's be honest, the clowns praising this film are nothing more than wannabe hipsters and Tarantino fanboys. I was underwhelmed by this film. I didn't think the story was clever at all and the dialog really lacked cleverness. To be blunt, it was an uninspired film. The story involves a bounty hunter (Russell) trying to transport a wanted person (Leigh) to Red Rock Wyoming where she is to be hung. However, this culprit is the sister of an infamous gang leader who is suspected to be trying to free her. A rather harsh blizzard forces Russell and his bounty to stop in a haberdashery, where strangers have already amassed. Which ones might be gang members? Who is who? My problem with the film was that I was waiting for some memorable scenes, some great dialog, some neat twist. None of those things ever happened. The film was lacking in, well, everything. The historical "knowledge" pertaining to this story was based on nothing more than other films. I don't think QT has ever read a history book. Had this film been made by someone other than QT, I don't think there would be any buzz surrounding it at all.
