Tarantino created the brand of dog food that Cliff Booth’s pitbull, Brandy, eats in the film
Much like Red Apple cigarettes and Big Kahuna burgers, the brand of dog food that Cliff feeds Brandy in the film was created by Tarantino.
In one of the more heartwarming sequences in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Cliff returns home to his trailer, and feeds Brandy a feast of “Wolfs Tooth” dog food, a made-up brand that features exotic flavors like rat, raccoon, and lizard.
The slogan for Tarantinos brand is “Good Food for Mean Dogs” — a bit misleading, considering Brandy is such a good girl for most of the film.
Margot Robbie wore some of Sharon Tate’s real jewelry in the film
“Wearing some of the pieces of her jewelry and spending time with her sister definitely made me feel closer to her in a way that I dont think I could have with just reading things and watching things [about her life],” Robbie said.
“Having that more personal connection meant a lot to me,” she added.
Tate is portrayed in the film by Robbie and was murdered in August 1969 by members of the Manson family. She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death — but “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” takes a very different approach to Tates murder and the fate of the Manson family.
Brad Pitt let a pitbull lick baby food off his neck for a scene
One of the undisputed stars of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is Cliff Booths pit bull, called Brandy in the film.
During a recent interview, Pitt, who plays Cliff, revealed that he had to put baby food on his neck in order to get the dog to lick his neck during one scene.
“I equated it to, Tom Cruise chained himself to the side of a plane and it took off and landed, and then I put baby food on my neck and let a pitbull have at it,” the actor joked when asked if he “suffered” for his art.
In addition to being an adorable companion for Pitts character Cliff, the pitbull, called Brandy in the film, also ends up being a key part of the climax of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
