Thescreescore – A new set video for the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, has dropped a major bombshell: a tantalizing Pulp Fiction Easter egg. This isn’t just any cameo; it’s a direct link to Tarantino’s cinematic universe, cleverly woven into the fabric of this highly anticipated follow-up. The sequel, penned by Quentin Tarantino but directed by David Fincher, reunites Brad Pitt as the titular Cliff Booth, eight years after his Oscar-winning performance in the original. Joining Pitt in this star-studded ensemble are Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan, Corey Fogelmanis, and Timothy Olyphant.
The 16-second clip, shared by the Quentin Tarantino News X account, features Pitt’s Booth, sporting a fresh haircut but still embracing his signature casual style. The focus shifts as Booth exits his car, to-go bag in hand, and heads towards a building. The clincher? The building’s window proudly displays a "Big Kahuna Burger" decal – the iconic fast-food joint from Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
This isn’t just a playful nod; it’s a significant narrative bridge. Big Kahuna Burger, famously featured in the diner scene where Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) encounter some unsavory characters, becomes a tangible link between two distinct eras within Tarantino’s interconnected world. The subtle detail of a slightly altered logo— reflecting the time difference between the 1970s setting of The Adventures of Cliff Booth and the 1990s of Pulp Fiction— adds another layer of depth to this Easter egg.

The inclusion of Big Kahuna Burger isn’t merely a fun Easter egg; it’s a strategic move by Tarantino, solidifying the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood narrative within his larger cinematic universe. This cleverly connects the fictionalized Hollywood of the late 1960s with the grittier world of Pulp Fiction, enriching both timelines.
While the official release date on Netflix remains TBD, this sneak peek has already ignited excitement among fans. The meticulously placed Easter egg confirms Tarantino’s signature attention to detail and his masterful ability to weave interconnected narratives. As we eagerly await the film’s arrival, one thing is certain: The Adventures of Cliff Booth promises a thrilling ride through the Tarantinoverse. The question now is: what other surprises await us within this cinematic universe? Only time, and the release of the film, will tell. Source: Quentin Tarantino News/X
