191. Cliff was the best part

of the film.

[red dog 1]

194. I agree.

I just watched the film for the first time about a week ago, and over the past few days, I replayed the last 30 minutes several times,
Cliff gives the Manson girl a ride to Spahn Movie Ranch, insists on seeing George Spahn (Bruce Dern), then making that Manson freak change the tire he had stuck a knife in.
Then, after drinking Margaritas all night at a Mexican restaurant, Leo Di Caprio & Cliff both return to Leo's house in a taxi.
Cliff smokes an acid-laced cigarette, takes his dog for a walk, then comes back & is starting to feed the dog when Tex & 2 Manson girls break-in to the house, and then it really gets good.
(Too bad Quentin Tarantino's ending wasn't what actually happened)

Last edited Sat May 11, 2024, 11:08 AM - Edit history (1)

did he play a harmonica on another film?

The train station was being built in this film, but I seem to remember him playing a harmonica, waiting to meet some bad dudes at a beat up old weathered train station in another film.

On edit: I was thinking of the same film only it was a squeaking windmill, not a harmonica, AND 'Harmonica' wasn't even in the opening scene.
