But I was also going to mention what’s right at the beginning of that animated gif; when he does that little wrist flick to remove (heh, more like “eject”) the clip. He does it few times in the movie, which jumped out at me the first time I watched it.

Jennifer Jason Leigh learned to play guitar on set for Hateful Eight and performed Jim Jones in Bottany Bay in this scene
Anyone who waited for the end of the video was treated to some more non-fake performance. Unbeknown to Kurt Russel, the guitar was an 1860 Martin worth $40,000 on loan from the Martin museum. Leigh’s shrieks as he smashes it were not fake.
