Yikes. Turns out, that six-string guitar that Kurt Russell smashed in The Hateful Eight was an authentic Martin guitar from the 1870s on loan from the Martin Guitar Museum.
But nobody told the museum that it was going to be smashed up.
Mark Ulano, the award-winning composer that worked on Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film, confirmed that the guitar was now beyond repair when he spoke to SSNInsider.com about the scene.
‘What was supposed to happen was we were supposed to go up to that point, cut and trade guitars and smash the double,’ explained Mark.
‘Well, somehow that didn’t get communicated to Kurt, so when you see that happen on the frame, Jennifer’s reaction is genuine. Tarantino was in a corner of the room with a funny curl on his lips, because he got something out of it with the performance.’
But not everyone is taking this so lightly.
