What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took place from June 18 to November 1, 2018.
- Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) watches a film featuring herself, "The Wrecking Crew" (1968), at a cinema. It was decided to use footage from the original film instead of reshooting individual scenes with Robbie as Sharon. Immediately before the film, she watches the trailer for "C.C. and Company" (1970).
- The mosaic wall in the airport, which the characters walk past, partially replicates the mosaic on the wall in the airport from Tarantino's film "Jackie Brown" (1997).
- Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Rick Dalton, is inspired by the images of Edd Byrnes, Ty Hardin, and to a lesser extent, William Shatner.
- Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, is based on the main character of the 1971 film "Billy Jack," Tom Laughlin.
- The film features two fragments of the soundtrack to "Torn Curtain" (1966) that were not used by its director, Alfred Hitchcock, in the final version of the film.
- There is an error in the official Russian title of the film. It would have been more accurate to translate it as "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood".
- One week before the scheduled release date of the film in China (October 25, 2019), the release was postponed indefinitely.
- Margot Robbie, who played Sharon Tate (1943-1969), wore the actual jewelry of her character. The actress was given it by Sharon Tate's sister, Debra.
- Tim Roth is mentioned in the credits among the members of the "Crew" (i.e., actors whom Tarantino regularly films), although all scenes with his participation were cut during editing.
- The party at the Playboy Mansion was also filmed there. Quentin Tarantino frequently stayed there with the owner of the mansion, American publisher and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine, Hugh Hefner (1926-2017).
- The voice-over is by Kurt Russell, who played the role of Randy.
- Quentin Tarantino spent five years writing the book 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' before realizing that this material was better suited for a screenplay.
- Luke Perry's (1966-2019) final role.
- Delighted at the opportunity to work with Tarantino again, and also to stay within budget, Leonardo DiCaprio agreed to have his usual $20 million fee reduced by a quarter.
- The Columbia Pictures logo at the beginning of the film is the one used in 1969, the year the film is set.
- The film premiered on May 21, 2019, at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation.
- Like almost all of Tarantino’s films, this one was shot on 35mm film.
- Blue-eyed Margot Robbie wore brown contact lenses during filming to match Sharon Tate’s eye color.
- In the Spahn Ranch scene, the name Randy Starr can be seen on the side of the building. He was a ranch hand and stuntman who died during the trial of Patricia Krenwinkel (an American murderer and former follower of the Charles Manson 'Family').
- The film features a scene from the series "Lancer" (1968-1970) titled "The High Riders" (1968). DiCaprio's character is playing a role originally performed by Joe Don Baker (even with the mustache). Sam Wanamaker (1919-1993) directed this episode.
- Scenes featuring DiCaprio's character in "The Great Escape" (John Sturges, 1963) were inserted into the film using digital technology. Tarantino generally avoids computer effects in his work, but this was the only way to do it, as reshooting the scene was impossible due to the film's age and the death of all the actors involved.
- In the final scene, Cliff Booth, recognizing the intruder, cannot recall Tex Watson's name, to which Watson replies: "I'm the devil and I've come to do the devil's work." According to Tex, this is exactly what he said to Sharon Tate and her guests before killing them.
- The war film featuring Rick Dalton contains at least two references to other films. The excerpt itself, as well as the poster, are a nod to the film "The Secret Invasion" (1964). At the same time, Dalton's character hides behind red curtains before starting to deal with the Nazis – the same thing was done by Donnie Donowitz and Omar Ulmer in a key scene from "Inglourious Basterds" (2009).
- Some scenes involved improvisation, which is rare for Quentin Tarantino films – for example, when Dalton forgets his lines in the new series "Lancer" and then rages in his trailer. Leonardo DiCaprio found it difficult to play Dalton's roles as Dalton would play them, rather than as himself, so he suggested that at some point Dalton would be unable to remember his lines, which would be entirely in character. The subsequent scene in the trailer was also improvised.
- Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) watches the film "The Wrecking Crew" (1968), in which she appears, at a cinema. It was decided to use footage from the original film rather than reshooting individual scenes with Robbie as Sharon. Immediately before the film, she watches the trailer for "SS & Co." (1970).
- The mosaic wall at the airport that the characters walk past partially replicates the mosaic on a wall in the airport from Tarantino's film "Jackie Brown" (1997).
- Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, is based on Tom Loflin, the main character in the 1971 film "Billy Jack".
- Fragments of the soundtrack from "Torn Curtain" (1966) can be heard twice in the film, pieces that its director, Alfred Hitchcock, did not use in the final version of the film.
- There is an error in the official Russian title of the film. It would have been more accurate to translate it as "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood."
- In the final scene, Cliff Booth, upon identifying the intruder, cannot remember Tex Watson's name, to which he replies: "I'm the devil and I've come to do the devil's work." According to Tex, this is what he said to Sharon Tate and the guests at her house before killing them.
