Do Quentin Tarantino’s movies all take place in the same continuity?

Some filmmakers get one cinematic universe, while Quentin Tarantino has two! Tarantino broke it down in a 2016 interview. “There's the Realer Than Rreal universe, alright, and all the characters inhabit that one. But then there's this movie universe. And so, From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill, they all take place in this special movie universe. So basically, when the characters of Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, when they go to the movies, Kill Bill is what they go to see. From Dusk Till Dawn is what they see.”

Which films take place in which universe? We have the movies Tarantino listed, but the rest are widely debated amongst film buffs. It also assumed that some projects, such as Jackie Brown and Tarantino's television work, aren't connected to either universe. To the best of our knowledge, and with a little help from the Tarantino Universe Wiki, here is a breakdown of which films take place in which universe…

The Realer Than Real Universe

• My Best Friend’s Birthday
• Reservoir Dogs
• True Romance
• Natural Born Killers
• Pulp Fiction
• Inglorious Bastards
• Django Unchained
• The Hateful Eight
• Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The Movie Universe

• From Dusk Till Dawn
• From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money
• From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter
• Kill Bill: Volume 1
• Kill Bill: Volume 2
• Grindhouse: Death Proof
• Grindhouse: Planet Terror

What about Tarantino’s other films?

Quentin Tarantino has also lent his hand to other director’s films. These movies aren’t necessarily considered Tarantino projects, since he didn’t direct them, and they aren’t based on his story treatments. In some cases, he isn’t even credited. It’s worth noting that many Hollywood films have multiple writers take passes at the script. As such, when we list Tarantino as an uncredited writer, it doesn’t mean he was the only writer on the project.

It would be weird to put films like the SNL spin-off It’s Pat alongside classics like Kill Bill. However, a guide to Tarantino’s films wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t list all his projects.

• Past Midnight (associate producer and uncredited writer) (1991)
• Killing Zoe (executive producer) (1993)
• It’s Pat (uncredited writer) (1994)
• Crimson Tide (uncredited writer) (1995)
• The Rock (uncredited writer) (1996)
• Curdled (executive producer) (1996)
• God Said Ha! (executive producer) (1998)
• From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (executive producer) (1999)
• From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter (executive producer) (1999)
• Hero (executive producer) (2002)
• My Name is Modesty (executive producer) (2004)
• Daltry Calhoun (executive producer) (2005)
• Hostel (executive producer) (2005)
• Freedom’s Fury (executive producer) (2006)
• Hostel: Part II (executive producer) (2007)
• Hell Ride (executive producer) (2008)

Has Quentin Tarantino ever directed any television projects?

Yes, Quentin Tarantino has done television work. Tarantino directed a 1995 episode of the medical drama ER titled ‘Motherhood.’ He also directed ‘Grave Digger,’ a 2005 episode of the crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Tarantino was also involved in From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, a television spin-off of the 1996 film. Although he never directed any episodes, he was involved in the story treatment for the series.

When is Quentin Tarantino’s next film?

For years Quentin Tarantino has said that he only plans on directing ten films before retiring. Tarantino has said that he considers Kill Bill Volume 1 and Kill Bill Volume 2 to be one giant film. This means that if we discount guest directorial segments and short films like My Best Friend’s Birthday, Tarantino is currently up to 9 films. That means that his next film, The Movie Critic, is likely to be his last. The film will be about a movie critic who writes for a pornography magazine. It will be a period piece set in the '70s. The film was slated to be released in 2024, but the various Hollywood strikes of 2023 delayed production.

Where can I watch Quentin Tarantino’s films?

Quentin Tarantino’s films have been produced for a few different film studios, which means that some of them have different licensing deals. As a result, not all of them can be found on the same streaming services. In addition, due to licensing deals, some films will go from service-to-service depending on what month it is.
