20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Hateful Eight

19. John Ruth Foreshadows Losing His Arm

The Hateful Eight
TWC

A little later, Warren ends up punching outlaw Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in the face after she spits on his personal letter from Abraham Lincoln. 

This causes Daisy to fall out of the carriage, and because she's cuffed to bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell), he too is dragged out with her.

As Ruth lays on the floor beside Domergue, though, he says something incredibly telling of his fate later in the movie - "Like to rip my goddamn arm off!"

Of course, near the end of the movie, Domergue ends up freeing herself from Ruth's corpse by hacking his arm off in supremely grisly fashion, just as he hinted at some two-and-a-half hours earlier.
