17 WTF Moments From The Hateful Eight

13. Tarantino Is The Narrator

Following Smithers' death, the movie's next chapter begins, revolving around the unseen character who poisoned the coffee. This is duly explained by a narrator, and any Tarantino fan worth their salt no doubt caught this one in a heartbeat: it's Tarantino himself, who appears twice in rather distracting and heavy-handed fashion. Apparently QT didn't learn much from how terrible his cameo was in Django Unchained: at least there wasn't a terrible Australian accent this time, but still, his voice isn't exactly incredible for narration, and it felt like what a filmmaker might do if they ran short of time or somehow couldn't find anyone else to narrate it. I mean, couldn't Harvey Keitel have done this over the phone in like half an hour or something?
