Continuity mistake: During his conversation with the director, while discussing his costuming, Dalton's hair changes from messy and curled to gelled up and straight.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy Olyphant, Margot Robbie, Austin Butler, Maya Hawke, Sydney Sweeney
Other mistake: Cliff's dog is referred to as female but when it jumps up at a door towards the end of the film, it is male.
Factual error: Twice in the movie a Jumbo Jet (a Boeing 747) from Pan Am appears. The movie is set in 1969, when that plane had its maiden journey, but it wasn't flown commercially until 1970.
Trivia: Rick Dalton's car is a 1966 Cadillac deVille. It's owned by Michael Madsen, who has a cameo in this film, and is the same car he drove in Reservoir Dogs.
Trivia: The final feature-film to feature Luke Perry, who tragically passed away a few months before its release after suffering two strokes.
Cliff Booth: Hey! You're Rick fucking Dalton, don't you forget it.
Bruce Lee: My hands are registered as lethal weapons. We get into a fight, I accidentally kill you? I go to jail.
Cliff Booth: Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter.
Cliff Booth: Eh... You are?
Tex: I'm the Devil, and I'm here to do the Devil's work.
Cliff: Nah... It was dumber than that, something like Rex.
Katie: Shoot him, Tex!
Cliff Booth: Tex!
Question: Was it intentional that Joe Namath and Ann Margaret's names were each repeated twice on the screen as Sharon Tate walked into the theatre? (01:08:00)
Question: What does Tex mean by "I'm as real a donut motherf'r?"Something significant?
Answer: To put some context into the scene, three members of the Manson family (Tex included) have broken into Rick Dalton's house and are holding Cliff Booth at gunpoint. Cliff, who is high on drugs asks "Are you real", to which Tex replies "I'm as real as a donut, mother fucker." Tex was trying to answer Cliff's question stating whether or not he was real, but in the most intimidating way possible, and I guess donut was the word that came to mind that described how real he was.

Answer: Yes, though the intention was not Tarantino's. What is onscreen is the trailer of the (real) 1970 film "C.C. and Company", which starred (as you might have guessed) Joe Namath and Ann-Margret. Said trailer showed their names twice, a stylistic choice that emphasized the film's stars, and Tarantino used the unaltered trailer in the film.
