Legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino loves nothing more than to cameo in his own movies, and he can be seen onscreen in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and others.

But did you know that he also likes to cameo in the posters for his own movies?

The poster for his most recent release - 2019's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - is a rather busy one, with a lot of bright colours and dozens of characters all packed together in a tight space. It's tough to spot, but one of these characters is actually Tarantino himself, who is sat behind a camera as though he's directing a scene.

Here's a closer look.

Tarantino's poster cameo doesn't appear to have any significant relation to the plot of the film, but hell, if any of us were respected, successful film directors, we'd probably all want to cameo in as many places as possible too!

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
