Talk:Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Marvin Schwarz
At the top of the Plot section, Marvin Schwarz is referred to as Rick Dalton's agent. He is not. in fact, Dalton mispronounced Schwarz' name. Schwarz is a producer trying to induce Dalton to join Italian westerns he has an interest in. 2601:240:4980:88F0:AC91:CB27:2C43:D24D (talk) 19:29, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Wojciech Frykowski
In the article the name of Wojciech/Voytek Frykowski is spelled in two different ways. It seems that the real person was named Wojciech and the character is Voytek (based on the IMDb listing). The article seems to be inconsistent about applying these spellings and never clarifies the difference in the first place. Lww22 (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Wojtek (read: Voytek) in Polish language is a diminutive of the name Wojciech, just as well as Tom and Kate are diminutives of Thomas and Katherine respectively. Frykowski is know both in the movie and in the reality as Wojtek or Wojciech. There is no mistake. Fruflea (talk) 21:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Factual / Fictional / Film / Novel - Characters
Whereas I can appreciate the writer(s) of the main article trying to nail down all of the characters, both actual and fictional, it’s all way too wordy and confusing. Some of the explaining of the composite characters goes on and on. ( i.e., explaining who someone was based on, say, a specific stunt person - good. Going on an additional tangent about that person, all their quirks, etc. - not so good.). There’s also a want to describe the character, then add the additional footnotes from the novelization, and differences that makes to the character in the film. ( We get it, you REALLY like the material.). Part of what confuses the reader, a lot , is the references to “Lancers” , a real television series of the time, but, again, the writer wants to cover “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” + the real “Lancers” + the fictional “Lancers” + the real actors + the fictional actors + their real & fictional events + the kitchen sink!

I’m not saying it’s pointless to have in the article - I love Tarantino’s in-jokes and Easter eggs too - but, there’s got to be a better way to present it in the article. Perhaps two sections? “The Real Characters” / “The Film Character”. Just a suggestion, to make some of this less confusing. 75.106.32.81 (talk) 21:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Cliff Booth
Cliff Booth was not a Green Beret WWII veteran. The Green Berets came into existence during the Kennedy Administration. 2601:644:9100:6746:E98B:A373:858:379C (talk) 19:31, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
