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

The frequently stunning and satisfying world of Los Angeles in 1969 created by Tarantino for this 2019 dramedy isn't just something that's nice to look at and listen to - it also contains a few of pieces of subtle foreshadowing if you're looking and listening hard enough.

Take some of the music heard when Cliff Booth is driving through the streets of Hollywood, for example. 

The Neil Diamond tune by the name of "Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show" heard at one point mentions a "Hot August Night" - something that feels like a nod towards the fiery events that eventually go down at the end of the film.

Then you also have the moment Rick Dalton explains his book to his young co-star, Trudi Frazer (Julia Butters) on the set of Lancer, with his comments of the cowboy involved injuring his hip and becoming "slightly more useless each day" predicting his stunt double Cliff's own hip injury later on as he's stabbed by a knife-wielding Manson family intruder. 

Booth would then note how he wouldn't die from the injury, and would likely just walk away with a limp, himself possibly becoming slightly more useless each day in the aftermath.
