01django-unchained-ranch
Naturally, Quentin Tarantino's new saddles-and-spurs flick *Django Unchained* has probably attracted at least a few fans of Westerns. But fans of one more recent Western may recognize some of its environs a little too well. It was partially shot on the same set at HBO's series *Deadwood*. The Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita served as the frontier for Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and as the home of the foul-mouthed denizens of Deadwood, South Dakota. But that's just a set. Many of the locations used by Tarantino in the past are actual places that you — yes, you! — can visit anytime. (Well, most of them. The infamous diner from *Pulp Fiction* got torn down some time after the film's release. There's an auto parts store there now.) Click through the gallery above for names and locations to guide your Tarantino pilgrimage. (Also, check out Badass Digest's video pilgrimage through [Tarantino's LA here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F74P4o46bfk).) __Above:__ The Wild West/South of [*Django Unchained*](http://unchainedmovie.com/) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __Location:__ [Melody Ranch](http://www.melodyranchstudio.com/) in Santa Clarita, California __Set the scene:__ The first half of *Django* follows the eponymous lead character as he's shown the ropes of bounty hunting by Dr. Schultz in small frontier towns in the American South and West — most of which were filmed at Melody Ranch. __Location fun fact:__ Singing cowboy Gene Autry once owned the place. *Gunsmoke* was filmed there. __Map:__ [#iframe: https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Melody+Ranch,+Santa+Clarita,+CA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.42297,71.542969&ie=UTF8&hq=Melody+Ranch,&hnear=Santa+Clarita,+Los+Angeles,+California&t=m&cid=14118995109307160731&ll=34.383254,-118.510208&spn=0.049584,0.113297&z=13&iwloc=A&output=embed](660x350)|||||| [View Larger Map](https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Melody+Ranch,+Santa+Clarita,+CA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.42297,71.542969&ie=UTF8&hq=Melody+Ranch,&hnear=Santa+Clarita,+Los+Angeles,+California&t=m&cid=14118995109307160731&ll=34.383254,-118.510208&spn=0.049584,0.113297&z=13&iwloc=A) *Photo courtesy The Weinstein Company*
