The scene where Kurt Russell destroys a 145-year-old Martin guitar. A priceless guitar on loan from Martin.
It was a Quinton Tarantino movie. The scene was supposed to have a cut in it. The actress is playing the real guitar but they had made seven prop guitars.
Quentin Tarantino instructed Kurt Russell to keep acting until he said cut. So Kurt Russell asked him so you want me to smash the guitar unless you yell cut and he said yes just keep acting.
So who the fuck knows but it could have been that Quentin Tarantino knew it was the real guitar. But I don't know why they would do that. That might not be the case.
At any rate, Martin guitar was furious! The guitar was priceless. A museum piece. So they said that under no circumstances would they lend any instruments to a movie set ever again.
The actress playing the guitar learned how to play the guitar and sing just for the movie. She actually knew that she was playing the real guitar and her reaction is real after Kurt Russell smashes it.
Kurt Russell had no idea.
