The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth Trailer 2 Is Wild

By AYC Editorial Desk 3 min read

Netflix dropped The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth trailer number two last week, and this time it’s a red band cut. It first played in cinemas before the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood IMAX re-release, then hit YouTube on Nov 6 (What’s on Netflix).

Short version? Brad Pitt’s Cliff is out of stunt work and taking any job going. It looks like a blast.

What The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth Trailer Shows

It opens in June 1977. Cliff wakes up while a voiceover recalls the stuntman who supposedly beat up Bruce Lee. His deadpan reply: “It’s been exaggerated a bit over the years.” Then Kool & the Gang’s “Hollywood Swinging” kicks in.

The stunt gigs have dried up. Cliff runs a theatre projector, tends bar, works concessions and does shady deals on the side. Then talent agent Karen Crosby (Elizabeth Debicki) leaves him a message. Charlie Peters (Scott Caan) wants a meeting, and he’s clear about one thing: “This ain’t about stunt work.”

Wondering about Leonardo DiCaprio? Cliff says he stopped doubling Rick Dalton because Rick “got too fat for me to double him anymore.” Ouch. The trailer never names DiCaprio, and no report we found confirms he’s in the film.

After that, things get messy in the best way:

  • The Verdusco brothers (Matt Groove and JB Tadena) break into a house
  • Charlie needs a briefcase full of cash
  • Cliff stuffs a body into the trunk of a yellow car, and Karen warns him “it’s not good”
  • Cliff improvises a TV pitch to Toni (Carla Gugino) over a montage of chases, gunfights and an aquarium crash

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller pop up too. So does Durwood the cat. The end card reads: “Thanksgiving. Only in IMAX.”

Cliff Booth Cast and Crew

David Fincher directs. Quentin Tarantino wrote the script and first planned to direct it himself, until Pitt talked him into handing it over to Fincher. Pitt and Ceán Chaffin produce (TheWrap).

The main cast, per Time Out:

  • Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth
  • Elizabeth Debicki as Karen Crosby
  • Scott Caan as Charlie Peters
  • Carla Gugino as Toni Peters
  • Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Roderick “Hot Rod” Harrison
  • Timothy Olyphant as James Stacy

Holt McCallany and Peter Weller round things out. JoBlo reports that Weller plays Cliff’s elderly father.

Cliff Booth Story, Release Date and India Watch Guide

The story picks up in 1977, eight years after the Manson Family events. Cliff now works as a fixer, an underground Hollywood legend who “fought Bruce Lee and won.”

The film opens in IMAX theatres worldwide on Nov 25, 2026, for an exclusive two-week run. Netflix then streams it globally from Dec 23. TheWrap calls it Netflix’s first movie to release in IMAX theatres worldwide. One outlet listed Nov 23, but every major report we checked says Nov 25.

Now the India question. As of Nov 14, we haven’t seen confirmation of an Indian IMAX run or a separate Netflix India date. Keep an eye on BookMyShow’s IMAX listings, and pencil in Dec 23 for streaming. Not sure Netflix is worth keeping? Our Netflix vs Prime Video vs JioHotstar verdict can help.

Tarantino on the page, Fincher behind the camera. If The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth trailer is any guide, this one smells paisa vasool. The IMAX run starts in 11 days.
