Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood

Shorty Shea was a ranch hand employed by George Spahn. He had tried to warn Spahn about the dangerous nature of the Manson family. At some point he was jumped and then killed, with various body parts being buried around the ranch. One of the killers was Steve Grogan, "Clem" the hippie who knifes the tire and is confronted by Cliff. As he starts to change the tire you can see a cowboy in a corral in the background. As Shorty was the only ranch hand, this would have been him in the shot. His body was not found until 1977 when Clem agreed to show the police where the remains could be found.

When Sharon Tate was talking to the girl at the box office of the movie theater in Westwood, you can see the Starbucks sign for half the scene before it was covered up. Starbucks was founded in 1971.

Like Django Unchained (2012), the film opens with the late 1960's Columbia Pictures logo.

In the teaser trailer and the next 2 theatrical trailers some shots from deleted scenes are shown.

• Sharon Tate dancing in a black dress in a moving stage.
• Mr. Schwarz salutes the projectionist before entering the projection room.
