Portions of one of the most watched movies in the past decade was filmed right here in Colorado.

In Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Walton Goggins put together performances of a lifetime and some of the most intense and bitter scenes were filmed right here.

The Hateful Eight had mixed reviews at first, but is now regarded as one of Tarantino's best films. Personally, Pulp Fiction, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Reservoir Dogs are my personal favorite movies of his.

Remember Denver's Boycott of the Movie?

You might remember when the Denver Police Department boycotted the film that was released in 2015.
