Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is the 2019 dark comedy that is the 9th feature directed by Quentin Tarantino (who also wrote the screenplay). The film focuses on Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a television series star and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who struggle to find work following the demise of their show, but find themselves crossing paths with the infamous Manson family. The film is set in 1969 Hollywood and the cast includes Margot Robbie, Damon Herriman, Timothy Olyphant, and Al Pacino. The film would go on to be nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and would receive two, for Best Production Design and Brad Pitt would receive his first Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his role in the film.
The following weapons were used in the film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood:
Single Action Army
While filming a Western television series, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) uses the Single Action Army revolver. Several other actors use the revolver as well.
High Standard Double Nine "Longhorn"
Tex (Austin Butler) uses a High Standard Double Nine Longhorn revolver with a cutoff trigger guard. During the real Tate–LaBianca murders, a .22 LR High Standard revolver was indeed used, likely very similar to the Double Nine.
Beretta M1951
A criminal appears to hold a Beretta M1951 pistol in a scene from Dalton's Italian spy film. The scene appears to be footage from the 1967 spy film Moving Target.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is used by some of the German officers in Dalton's World War II film.
M1A1 Thompson
Rick uses the M1A1 Thompson with a Cutts compensator while filming a World War II scene.
MP40
German soldiers use MP40s during the filming of a World War II movie.
Ithaca 37
Rick also uses an Ithaca 37 shotgun during his appearance in a television episode of "The F.B.I.". In actuality, the villain in the recreated episode ("All the Streets Are Silent" S01E11), Michael Murtaugh , was played by Burt Reynolds. See the discussion page for further information.
M2 Flamethrower
An M2 Flamethrower is used by Rick while during the filming of a World War II movie. Rick then uses it during a confrontation.
Trivia: At one point, while Dalton is testing the flamethrower on a movie set, he states that it's too hot and asks if they can tone it down, to which the armorer replies "It's a flamethrower, Rick." This is based off of an actual interaction on-set between DiCaprio and the armorer. Presumably Tarantino thought it was on-brand for DiCaprio's character and decided to add it to the script.
