![]() Speaking to Esquire, Butters said Leonardo DiCaprio was “protective” of her and specifically made people tone-down their language. But the real news is that apparently Leo and Julie Butters became such good buddies that the veteran actor actually told people on set to stop dropping f-bombs around the kid. Without ruining anything, let’s just say her scenes are the most heartwarming thing you can see in a movie that is also about the Manson family murders. In the movie, Butters plays a young actress starring in a western with DiCaprio’s washed-up actor character Rick Dalton. The best actor in the movie is without a doubt ten-year-old Julia Butters. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood may be Tarantino's mature film-apologies to the Jackie Brown heads out there-but he's still the guy who drank champagne out of Uma Thurman's stiletto that one time.The new Quentin Tarintino movie - Once Upon a Time In Hollywood - has one scene-stealing moment and it’s got nothing to do with Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio. ![]() There's an almost identically-framed shot, not long later, when a Manson girl named Pussycat smashes her bare feet against the windshield of Brat Pitt's car. The grossest and most leering of them is when Margot Robbie kicks off her shoes in a movie theater and puts her feet up on the seat in front of her, and the camera spends an inordinately long time watching Robbie watch the movie with the soles of her feet framed in the foreground. What do you expect? This is a Quentin Tarantino movie after all, so there are, uh, a distracting amount of foot shots. The Gratuitous Shots of Women's Bare FeetĪnd here it is-the worst cameo in all of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Maybe there's some better McQueen moments on the cutting room floor along with those James Marsden and Tim Roth cameos, but his scene in the Playboy Mansion might've been better left there, as well.ġ. In his only scene at the Playboy Mansion, Lewis-as-McQueen spouts some awkward dialogue to a partygoer spelling out the relationship dynamics between Sharon Tate her husband, Roman Polanski and her friend, Jay Sebring. But Tarantino strangely squanders his cameo by mostly just using him for unnecessary exposition. Damian Lewis actually nails the Steve McQueen look, like he just stepped out from behind the wheel of that Mustang in Bullitt. Thankfully, she isn't on screen for long. She's dressed more like a Millennial Pinterest board than any Manson Family member. The character feels like she strolled onto Spahn Ranch from the set of Dunham's HBO show Camping. The way she plays Gypsy, the Manson girl who takes control of the Family while Manson and Tex are away, is completely incongruous with the rest of the scene. ![]() If you don't leave the movie immediately ready to adopt a pit bull, you watched the movie wrong. She brings it all-the laughs, the thrills, the action. Whatever dog is playing Cliff Booth's pit bull pet is absolutely the best cameo in the entire movie. It would probably earn Moh the title of Best Cameo if it weren't for a certain four-legged actor who steals the whole show… Their fight-which gets interrupted all too soon by one-time Uma Thurman stunt double Zoe Bell-is one of the funniest scene in the film. But Moh's cameo as Bruce Lee when he challenges Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, to a fight isn't great just because of the casting-it's because he and Pitt have impeccable comedic timing. It's a beautiful, subtle tribute to a starlet who died long before her time.Īctor and martial artist Mike Moh has been praising Bruce Lee's influence over his own career for years, and he was the perfect choice to play the then- Green Hornet star in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Sharon Tate's gruesome murder has overshadowed her acting in the past 50 years, but for these few moments, Tarantino gives us a chance to remember Tate for who she was in life instead of in death.
