Add a QuoteBruce Lee: You're the one with the big mouth, and I would really enjoy closing it, especially in front of all my friends. But my hands are registered as lethal weapons. That means, we get into a fight, I accidentally kill you? I go to jail.
Cliff Booth: Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter. I think all that lethal weapon horseshit is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight.
46 quotes posted in IMDb already. Thanks to its contributors. The best lines come from the brilliant little woman Trudi Fraser (Julia Butters):
I believe it's the job of an actor - and I say actor, not actress because the word actress is nonsensical - it's the actor's job to avoid impediments to their performance. It's the actor's job to strive for one hundred percent effectiveness. Naturally, we never succeed, but it's the pursuit..that's meaningful.

That was the best acting I've ever seen in my whole life.
-Thank you.

I don't like names like 'Pumpkin Puss'... but since you're upset, we'll talk about it some other time.

***If you want more of the wise-beyond-her-years Trudi, watch one of the deleted scenes when Trudi welcomes her two step-brothers (Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy and Luke Perry as Wayne Maunder) who have just ridden in town from a wagon.

Add a CommentExcellent movie. Worth all the accolades it has received.
I enjoyed everything about this movie. A magnificent tribute to 1960s Hollywood - the tension between television and movies, the sights and sounds of the era, the soundtrack! A great story of friendship and aging, and a stunning, but superb, ending - as only Tarantino can do
Pitt and his pit bull were the stars of the show. This is a must watch.
It's always a dilemma for me. How do I rate a Quentin Tarantino film? Usually I love the look and feel of his films, and they are so well-written and clever, but I end up hating the vile characters and loathing the violence. Well, I liked this one a lot better than most Tarantino films! The movie is gorgeous to look it, with amazing sets, costumes and cinematography. I liked all the behind the scene glimpses of film-making. The main characters, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, weren't as horrible as his main characters usually are. And overall there was less violence than usual. So, in the end I found this film fascinating and entertaining. I also felt there was a great sadness hanging over the film, knowing how Sharon Tate's story really turned out.
I enjoyed this film- sure it's meandering but I liked it. His best since " Jackie Brown ".
The costume design, 70’s setting and acting was excellent. However I thought the pacing was off . Like it was leading somewhere, but it never did. I found it pretty uninteresting and even got bored a little.
The storytelling, humor, visual splendor, casting and acting are as good as we expect by now from Quentin Tarantino. A major treat in this film is the spot-on depiction of late ‘60s Hollywood and Southern California in general in this perfectly executed period piece. Everything from the cars to the street scenes, wardrobe, mood and popular culture references will take you right back to that time and place if you were there. If you weren’t there, you can trust the accuracy of this movie to give you a true sense of what it was like.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt join the ranks of the duos in the best ever buddy movies. This is as good as it gets!
I like this movie because of the ending which is a revenge for what Charles Manson and his neo-Nazi gang did to Sharon Tate who was 9 months pregnant! Quentin is very imaginative and courageous in making this movie.
I really liked this movie, if you are unfamiliar with what happened with the Manson family I would suggest doing a little reading about that before watching this movie, as it is a reimagining of those events. I suspect not knowing about the Manson family events is what is behind most of the negative reviews here.
I found the movie be interesting and even smart except the ending, where (traditionally) Tarantino failed to make anything inspiring or intellectually food for thoughts
Tarantino is a master of movie flow, but on the other site he is not very intellectual
I especially loved atmosphere of hot summer of 1968-1969, that was well done, I believe
just the ending - he probably didn't know how to make it and was very disappointing
