Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has found a new streaming home on Prime Video, giving fans a perfect excuse to revisit the 2019 love letter to Tinseltown before its spiritual successor arrives. The film, which many consider Tarantino's magnum opus, is now available to stream, just as anticipation builds for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.
Set in 1969 Los Angeles, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood follows TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they navigate a rapidly changing industry. The film also stars Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, Emile Hirsch as Jay Sebring, Margaret Qualley as Pussycat, Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy, Austin Butler as Tex Watson, and Dakota Fanning as Squeaky Fromme. It was Tarantino's most recent directorial effort and remains a fan favorite.
Now, Cliff Booth's story continues in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, a Netflix production set in a very different Hollywood—1977, eight years after the events of the first film. Tarantino wrote the script but handed directing duties to David Fincher, known for Zodiac and The Social Network. Pitt personally brought Fincher on board. The cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, and Scott Caan. Notably, Leonardo DiCaprio will not return as Rick Dalton.
While plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to explore Cliff's further adventures in a Hollywood that has continued to evolve. The original movie's unique blend of history and fantasy, culminating in a controversial alternate ending, has left fans eager to see where Tarantino and Fincher take the character next.
For those looking to prepare, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is now streaming on Prime Video. It's a chance to revisit the performances, the soundtrack, and the meticulous recreation of 1969 Los Angeles that made the film a critical and commercial success. The movie won two Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Brad Pitt.
If you're a Tarantino completist, you might also enjoy exploring the noir classics that influenced his work. For instance, Kiss Me Deadly, a film that shaped Tarantino's style, is now free to stream.

Meanwhile, the entertainment landscape is full of sequels and revivals. David Harbour's Violent Night is slaying on HBO Max as its sequel nears, and that holiday action flick is worth a watch. But for now, all eyes are on Cliff Booth and his journey from 1969 to 1977.
