The Hateful Eight Guitar Incident - Kurt Russell Destroyed An Antique Guitar

A guitar in “The Hateful Eight“ destroyed by Kurt Russell’s character was not a prop but an authentic 1870s antique Martin guitar loaned by the Martin Guitar Museum. The guitar was supposed to have been switched with a copy prop to be destroyed, but this was not communicated to Russell. As result, a real guitar destroyed and the museum will no longer loan guitars to film productions.
