20 Things You Somehow Missed In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

15. The Meta Zoë Bell Appearance

As already mentioned, the terrific Zoë Bell has been a frequent collaborator with QT over the decades, being Uma Thurman's stunt double on the Kill Bill films, performing stunts in Inglourious Basterds, starring as herself in Death Proof, appearing in The Hateful Eight, and popping up as stunt coordinator Janet Lloyd in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

But if you weren't aware of Bell's working history with Tarantino and the fact she also acted as stunt coordinator on OUATIH, it would have been easy to miss the fact that her role in this 2019 Hollywood film was actually about as wonderfully meta as it gets.

With the knowledge of Bell herself very much being in charge of making sure stunts were performed safely during the film, watching her unleash hell as Janet at the sight of stuntman Cliff Booth carelessly beating up Bruce Lee on set - and wrecking her car in the process - becomes that little bit funnier.
