    • Trivia
      After the script leaked online, writer and director Quentin Tarantino did not want to make this movie. However, after they did a brief reading of the script in Los Angeles, the cast was stunned and got excited for the film, and with Samuel L. Jackson persuading him to do this movie, Tarantino accepted.
    • Goofs
      Anytime we see the stagecoach in transit, the road surface has been cleared while the surrounding area is covered in deep snow. As there were no snow plows, and as the snow was falling rapidly accompanied by howling wind, there is no way the road could have been clear of snow drifts. In reality, the six horses would have labored to pull the coach through the snowstorm and the road should have been very difficult to traverse. Instead, it's clear that the road had been cleared of snow by the crew using a snowplow.
    • Quotes

      Oswaldo Mobray: The man who pulls the lever that breaks your neck will be a dispassionate man. And that dispassion is the very essence of justice. For justice delivered without dispassion is always in danger of not being justice.

    • Crazy credits
      The credit includes "Checkpoint Charlie," the person whose job is to prevent anyone from entering the set with a cellphone.
    • Alternate versions
      From the week of December 25th to 31st 2015, the film was shown exclusively in a 'Roadshow' version at 100 locations across North America (about half of them were 70mm film projection, the other half digital). This version played without previews and ran 187 minutes, including a 4-minute Overture and a 12-minute Intermission. The 'Multiplex' version (digital only) runs 167 minutes, and was shown from January 1, 2016 onwards. In addition to not having the Overture and Intermission, it removes approximately six minutes of footage that Quentin Tarantino felt played better in the 70mm format.

    Minnie's Haberdashery, where the elite meet
    You'd have to go back 80 years or so to the film adaptation of Sidney Kingsley's Dead End to find a film where the set qualifies as a living participant of the action. The house in the adaption of the Eugene O'Neill classic Long Day's Journey Into Night also qualifies here.

    The action is set up when the stagecoach where bounty hunter Kurt Russell is taking his prisoner Jennifer Jason Leigh to the town of Red Rock to be hung. A couple of prairie hitchhikers also come on board another bounty hunter Samuel L. Jackson and Walton Goggins son of a former Confederate general who says he's the new sheriff in the town of Red Rock. Kurt Russell replete with full flowing beard and mustache is one suspicious man. He has those suspicions justified before the film is ended.

    80% of the action takes place on set of the 19th century bed and breakfast during the time of a nasty Wyoming winter and does the dialog crackle. If you think you're going to see a western the kind that John Ford or Howard Hawks or Henry Hathaway did back in the old days, then don't watch The Hateful Eight. Hateful is the operating word with these characters, there's nothing really noble about any of them.

    Besides the set of Minnie's Haberdashery to recommend it, Quentin Tarrantino selected a truly fine ensemble cast who play beautifully off each other. As the outlaw queen Jennifer Jason Leigh got a Best Supporting Actress nomination, but in my humble opinion she doesn't stand out any more than any of the rest of them. The Hateful Eight also earned Ennio Morricone an Oscar for the best musical score for 2015.

    The Hateful Eight is a great western, but it ain't your grandpa's kind of western.

    • Why would General Smithers stop at Minnie's Haberdashery if he was prejudice against Blacks?
    • Does Quentin Tarantino have a cameo?
    • Why did Tarantino shoot the movie in anamorphic 70 mm? What does that mean?
