20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Hateful Eight

15. Señor Bob Smokes Red Apple

The Hateful Eight
TWC

Tarantino features a few fictional brands in a number of his movies, chief among them being Red Apple cigarettes, which have in some form been spotted or mentioned in Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Inglourious Basterds, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and, yes, The Hateful Eight.

Roughly an hour into this movie, it's mentioned that Minnie (Dana Gourrier) rolls her own cigarettes with Red Apple tobacco, and later Minnie namedrops the brand herself.

A more subtle invocation comes when we see Señor Bob (Demián Bichir) smoking and Tarantino's narrator mentions that he "enjoyed a Manzana Roja" - that of course being Spanish for Red Apple.
