Don't forget, DiCaprio plays a dude who plays a dude....

[MrDukeSilverr]

People are saying McQueen plays Hilts better then DiCaprio while they should be saying McQueen plays better then Rick Dalton

[RyannSA]

I think Leo purposely over plays it a little bit

[erickrodriguez]

Can you imagine easter eggs like this being done with our movies 100 years from now

[mrfoolsgold]

Theres a clear arrogance to the way Rick Dalton does the scene but Steve McQueen does it as cool as a cucumber. Thanks for this clip. Never would have noticed it otherwise.

What a great surprise scene in Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. Furthermore, casting Damien Lewis as Steve McQueen for the earlier scene in the movie was genius casting.

[roflcre]

That moment when McQueen looks computer animated.

[curatorcogs]

I think the idea is that Rick Dalton overplayed the role too much and McQueen suited it better, probably due to their different personalities.

I loved that scene having been a huge fan of The Great Escape. I had a huge smile on my face.

I notice that at 0:42 “I haven’t seen Berlin before, from the ground or from the air, and I plan to do both BEFORE the war ends”. McQueen’s delivery here is spot on and emphasizes that he wants to get into the action in Berlin. Leo’s delivery skips this.

[masterzombie]

I’d love to see an actual movie with Rick Dalton in it.

Once Upon a Time is definitely a movie buff's movie, and a great"hangout" movie with friends. Its crazy how accurate some things were. Alt history aside lol.

To those of you talking shit about dicaprio and saying mcqueen was better and "this scene just proved it" you better watch it again. The whole point of this scene and dicaprio acting like he did was to show mcqueen was better than Rick Dalton, and if you actually believe that, then that means he nailed it. Watch the movie before talking shit without having context please.

[dorkmax]

My friends had no idea why I was flipping my shit in the theatre.

[sonatine]

Technically amazing and also great to see how Leo is intentionally overacting it just a slight, so you would almost not recognize but def. can see it when you pay attention to it.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

My dads a huge Great Escape fan.

So when we saw this he was saying the lines from the movie before the characters.

“Cooler.”

The thing about this scene is that Steve McQueen was 32 in "The Great Escape" and Leo DiCaprio was almost 44 in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". So, despite being almost 12 years older than McQueen, Leo still looks like he's more than 10 years YOUNGER than McQueen. Reason being people decades ago, in general, looked much much older than their actual age, whereas people today look so damm youthful, even in their 40s. Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape" looks like an unequivocal rugged-looking MAN, whereas Leo DiCaprio looks like a baby-faced adult pretty boy. Male actors today just don't have that rugged look anymore, which is why they've been having so much trouble re-casting James Bond and Indiana Jones. As a result, Leo doesn't look very believable as a World War II pilot like McQueen in "The Great Escape". And the fact is if Leo was an actor in the 1960s, he wouldn't have been this big star of westerns and war movies (like his character Rick Dalton), because he wouldn't have had that rugged look Hollywood wanted for those roles at the time. Also, McQueen having served in the U.S. Merchant Marine at the end of WWII and later in the Marine Corps until the start of the Korean War makes him more believable as a military aviator because he actually served in that time. Whereas actors today (especially Leo) have never served.

Would've loved to see Timothy Olyphant in a Tarantino flick before this one with a bigger role. Underrated actor and seems like a genuine down to earth dude.

[troopers]

This is how we imagime ourselves as a character in our favoritr movie

[minerva-]

This scene was fun. Love the classics.
