That guitar he smashed was an original Martin that Martin loaned to them for the movie and kurt got them mixed up amd smashed the wrong one. So freaking sad he destroyed an amazing piece of old guitar history.
Never lend your 40k guitar to a project that involves breaking a copy of said guitar
When the actors are actually shocked make sit so much better, especially that scene from the hateful eight
Not a $40,000 guitar, a priceless antique guitar... Big difference
The guitar one is one you can’t unsee once you learn about it - the actress breaks character for a few seconds, but you don’t even notice it normally lmao
The best part is that first one is from 'war of the coprophages" (S3 E12) (X Files). An episode where there is legitimately no actual supernatural threat, just misplaced paranoia. The most dangerous thing happening to Scully was probably that car accident 😂
Don't forget Hans Gruber's fall in Die Hard. They released him a little earlier than he expected. The shock on his face was real.
Fun fact: for Django Unchained they genuinely traveled back to the 1860s and the townspeople’s shock was genuine because they haven’t seen a black man on a horse
To those who wonder, the second scene Is from the series "The Haunting of Hill House", which i recommend since it's probably the best horror series i have ever watched
“$40,000 guitar” more like a piece of music history.
Now this is some high quality clipping.
The scene from the haunting of hill house caught me off guard the first time i watched it
That jumpscare in haunting of hillhouse got everyone in my family so good. There's already so few jumpscares and this one came with no artificial tension, just the tension between the two sisters arguing. It is genuinely like the perfect jumpscare and now knowing that it was improvised is crazy
40k my ass lol.. That Martin guitar was a relic of a time long gone. Try priceless.
The guitar was a real 145 year old guitar loaned from a museum that had replicas that were supposed to get smashed, yet Tarantino didn't call cut to make the swap. So no, it's not just a "$40.000 guitar."
Bro I love the roach episode of the x files, I can't believe the ppl actually crashed the lol
• *The broom in “Doctor Strange” (2016)* • *The pearl-necklace in “Pretty Woman” (1990)* • *The chest-burst scene in “Alien” (1979)* • *Jonah Hill’s parrot attack in “22 Jump Street”*
Fuck Quinten Tarantino for that guitar breaking scene, he effectively ruined Hollywood's long time relationship with the museum they borrowed that guitar from for a one-off scene
That guitar destruction sucked so much.
That Hill House scream was one of the most obviously signaled jump scares I've seen in years, and it STILL got me, I love that show.
