Most of them are not blatantly obvious to be observed at first sight, so take your time and read carefully. We have extensive definitions that accurately explain any behind the scene meaning or famous dialogues.
When John Root throws his stew in Daisy's face, you see Joe Gage/Grouch Douglas get up ready to fight in the back, briefly breaking his facade and giving himself away. Nobody notices though. (I'm not tech savvy so sorry for substandard video)

Hidden Details


Daisy prevents John Ruth from being shot in the back by Oswaldo as soon as they arrive at Minnie's Haberdashery

Chris Mannix doesn't immediately kill Joe Gage after Warren is de-cocked because he claims to have no gun which further strengthens Chris's claim of being the sheriff of Red Rock because killing an unarmed man isn't something a sheriff would do.


Chris Mannix was always the first to follow Warren's commands significantly quicker than the other three. Symbolizing his innocence.
When dividing the room Oswaldo says that the fireplace area should represent Georgia. This pokes fun at Sherman's March to the Sea that happened during the Civil War.

After losing his gun, Joe Gage immediately sits down at the table he knows there is a stashed pistol in.
Fabricator Warren claims that Minnie used to have a sign saying "No Mexicans or dogs" that she took down when she started allowing dogs. In a flashback Minnie rather is seen allowing cats and receives Mexican Bob in her Haberdashery just as warmly as the others.

When Chris Mannix is reading the letter from Abraham Lincoln addressed to Major Marquis out loud in the very last scene, Marquis mouths almost the entire letter as Chris reads it.
Z?e bell character (Judy) uses a very similar outfit to her mysterious character in Django Unchained.
During the conversation with the general, Se?or Bob starts playing the piano slowly and messing up, while he ends the scene playing perfectly, indicating he hasn't played the piano in a very long time and is picking it back up.

You can hear commotion from the haberdashery during the carriage scene.
Jennifer Jason Leigh's reaction to Kurt Russell's character smashing the guitar is genuine. Unbeknownst to Russell, the guitar was never switched when shooting the scene, and he ended up destroying a priceless 145 year old antique.

Daisy smiles wide the moment she sees Oswaldo Mulberry. She knows the gang is here to save her.

The door is broken throughout the movie because Bob tries to shoot the porter as he escapes.

The Hateful Eight Plot: In the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters.
