Anyone have the story on the car used in the movie? It's quite nice.

Which car? They used about 2000.

The black 911 Sharon Tate drove...

Looked like a 73.5 CIS car but hard to tell since they seemed to have a lot of music dubbed in while she was driving as I recall , looked like she was driving up Wiltshire Blvd though remarkable how they camps make the scene look back dated like that ..
most of that area before Brentwood (million air mile) is high rise condos and modern apt between Santa Monica and either San Vicente or
Sepulveda Blvd .

Alan Smithee

Very nice, especially with Margot behind the wheel...

I noticed PCNA got a ‘thank you’ in the credits...I can only assume they supplied the car.

Since everything seems period correct in the film, it should be a pre 69 car.

My family and I lived on Cielo Drive where the Manson murders took place at the time; in fact, they happened only a few hundred yards from where I was sleeping as a baby. I can assure you that although the film is entertaining, it's not totally period correct or very accurate in many ways. For example, the film appears to make Cielo Drive, which plays a big part of the movie, a very short cul-de-sac street, where in fact, it's a pretty long and windy road in Benedict Canyon.

After the murders, so many lookie-loos and tour vans started coming around that my parents sold that house not too long after than terrible event.

I thought the movie was OK, not great. I liked the 911 tho LOL :P

Looks like a 73 S.

Jay Sebring drove a black 911. Not having seen the movie, it sounds like they are taking some liberties...

I liked Brad Pitt’s Karman Ghia. I fast forwarded a lot of the movie and am glad I didn’t bother to go see it at theatre. Way too long and repetitive.

Agree that the flick was not a rollercoaster. It was more of a slow burn that could have been trimmed by 30 min without losing anything. They sure did create an amazing atmosphere. The CGI required to breathe life into those streets is mind blowing. Steve McQueen cracked me up.

That wasn’t CGI. They hand built mock up store fronts, fake billboards etc all over different locations in L.A. and spent weeks constructing it and installing it all.

Thought the movie was great, a kooky part of american history, given the time/setting. Hollywood into itself is unusual, and not "real", compared to the balance of the US/world. The 60's were crazy and unique. Combined, makes for a great setting for an imaginative story-line, intertwined with "real" people and events.

There's an interview/podcast, can't remember which one, w/Mr. Seinfeld, discussing the inaccuracies of the 911, and how it almost ruined the entire movie for him...

i thought the movie was fantastic in the typical tarantino way - amazing sets and environment and terrific dialogue. interesting to me is that i never felt it was too long. atypical was leaving out the standard blood and gore and reserved it for the ending. the other thing to remember is this was not a documentary - too many comments about inaccuracies. it's a movie, not a recount of the actual Manson events. also enjoyed that even the 'heroes' were deeply flawed individuals.
