The Hateful Eight: 18 Easter Eggs & References You Need To See

11. Lance Lawson

At one point John Ruth and Chris Mannix talk about the impending hanging of Lance Lawson in Red Rock. The ears of Tarantino's fans would have pricked up at that point. Lawson was of course the owner of now fabled video store Video Archives, where Tarantino once worked before he made it big. A character of the same name also appears in The Rules Of Attraction, which was directed by fellow Video Archives worker Roger Avary, who wrote Pulp Fiction with Tarantino. Eric Stoltz's Lance in Pulp Fiction is also named for the same guy.
