A cheeseburger walks into a bar and orders a large beer. The bartender says "im sorry, we dont serve food here"
No, anything you laugh at in this film was MEANT to be funny, no matter how intense the situation. Tarantino's humor is complex and brutal. Also, nothing about this film is random. Everthing that happens has a circular logic in the plot. Think about the 3 main characters and their relationships to "a code of honor". Jules, Vincent, and Butch are equal in the sense that they each take 3 lives in the film. They all come to a crossroad to take a fourth life, and depending on what path they take determines whether they live or die. Watch it again through that lens.
“I’m not a heroinologist” 😭😭😭😭
Heroinologist is my new favorite word.
It's a movie making a statement about redemption and true values [that speak to the ability needed to change one's life]. What's worse than death or bad enough to forgive someone for costing you money [not going along with the fixed fight] could it be saving you from something worse than death? Two people got out of "the Life" [which was portrayed as "normal" for those in the life]. Juels because he had the courage to see how Fd up his life was after the near-death experience and did something about it by quitting [not there at the apartment or after the fight because he quit after delivering the briefcase] and Butch because he could have got away "clean" and left Marcelous to that fate but returned and saved him from that very wrong happening to him [and also didn't throw the fight for the money but turned it to his advantage by betting the money the other way and collecting]. They earned their way out of that crooked life, Marcelous got a taste of evil for being so deep in it [and his wife, Mia, too for not caring about what her husband does to people] and Vincent died for being way to accepting of that bad life. Whatever life we're in seems "normal" when we're in it. It takes a "good" person to see the wrong when everyone else sees it as normal. [a normal life carries with it "normal" conversations. The right people can see through to a better place despite how natural it feels to be where they are] The movie was shot in sequence for the most part. Only the easy-to-understand flashback to butches' childhood in his daydreaming before his fight and the second half of the first day being the last part of the film were out of sequence. The last line of the actual events shown was Zed's dead".
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read today.. stop using google as a research tool..
Yep, definitely a redemption story. All of the ‘meaningless’ conversations are there to flesh out differences in character - even Jules’ refusal to eat filthy animals - and we clearly see what happens when two people witness a miracle and one refuses to believe, as Jules assuredly retires and gets away alive.
Films like this are so much deeper than the average filmgoer has the ability to comprehend. Think to the diner conversation when Jules tells Vincent he FELT the touch of God after the "miracle" incident. After this convo, both men are tested when Ringo/Yolanda rob the restaurant and Jules lets them live, much to Vincent's dismay. Jules gets out of "the life," and Vincent is given yet ANOTHER test/sign when he chooses not to attempt to sleep with Mia and she nearly overdoses while on his watch. Continuing with his lifestyle even after having dodged multiple metaphorical (and some literal) bullets ultimately leads to his demise and how ironic that he first meets Butch that night at the bar when he insults him while Jules and he are going to drop off the briefcase.
Christopher Walkin is a mad man for being able to do those long takes givine the "ass watch" speech without laughing.
Mia snorted the heroin thinking it was cocaine, that´s the detoning to had the overdose (heroin can be snorted as well, but the most common way it´s like Vincent did, using a needle. Also Mia was full of drugs in that moment). And Vincent goes a lot to the bath, due to he´s an heroin addict, and that provokes you, sometimes, constipation. Even the shot to Marvin´s face, it´s due to heroin, that also provokes you spasms (in this case pulling the trigger).
for real? never did heroin, but I thought snorting is more common. because shooting is like, you know, the next level, for people not getting their kick out of snorting anymore.
What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?
"I'm eighty."
Sorry for the lil tech issue in the middle guys
Whenever Vincent goes to the bathroom something bad happens and when Jules talked about being a Shepherd and protector, later we see that when Vincent doesn’t have his Shepherd with him he died, and it was involved with the Bathroom.
The reason Vincent got shot is because he was guarding the apartment alone. It's ironic that Jules finds God and retires - which inadvertently leads to the death of his partner. Also, I was told that heroin makes you "constipated" which is why Vincent spent a lot of time in the toilet. There's a lot of brilliance to this film. Thanks for sharing.
Also ironic that Vincent first met the man who would ultimately kill him at the bar that night when he insulted Butch because he was being bribed by Marcellus to throw the fight, the same night when Jules was to quit the game...
He was only alone because Marcellus decided to step out and get something for them to eat. Butch's timing just happened to be perfect.
@@Serai3 Wow! I completely missed that. Good point.
in the diner, they are likely just smoking rolling tobacco - it fits Vincent's sort of new goth cowboy kind of style
Of course it's only tobacco
In Europe back then, many young people rolled their own, while in the US, people bought pre-packaged cigarettes.
Quality reaction mate, kudos for getting Mia was wearing Vincent’s coat and it was heroin not coke, most reactors miss that
"Aw man I shot Marvin in the face" 😂 That line made me laugh so hard the first few times I saw this movie. Travolta and Samuel L have such incredible chemistry
Travolta made several movies between Grease and Pulp Fiction. Blow Out was awesome.
Dad joke: What do you call a mushroom that buys beers for everyone?
A FUNGI TO BE WITH! 😎
Wow hahaha
You are correct. The movie title is the answer to the, 'what kind of film am I watching?', question. Pulp Fiction is an over the top, lurid action story (usually sci-fi, fantasy, or, spy thriller printed on cheap paper and paid for by cheap publishers. The creator of Scientology was a prolific pulp author along with the creators of Conan and Cthulhu.
Lovecraft was never a "pulp story" author. Pulp fiction novels/stories were about more popular cheap stuff, the novel equivalent of a b-movie, or the 20-50s equivalent of the Lee Child stuff one gets in an airport today
16 years between the movie Grease and Pulp fiction. He actually started with Nightmare on Elm street and he was in Carrie as well, which is another horror movie. He even did a romantic comedy called the *Look Who's Talking Too before Pulp Fiction.
Carrie and Blowout were first. In mid 70s. And was Vinnie Barbarino on Welcome Back Kotter in early to mid 70s. A tv series with Gabe Kaplan. Nightmare came much later.
I was just about to add that 😂
He wasn't in Nightmare on Elm Street. His last movie in his first era was Blow Out. Then he was doing shit for most of the 80s until Tarantino revived his career with this movie. Also Samuel Jackson was in a lot of stuff before this movie, but this movie made him into a star.
Don’t forget look who’s talking.
@@Eowyn187 boy in the plastic bubble was before carrie and grease too, and it got a ton of recognition.
Most people miss the fact that Lance is out of balloons. Which heroin is usually sold in. Instead he uses baggies, which coke usually comes in.
Travolta was going bald when this was made. That’s not his real hair….Sam’s either.😎
Wait what? You’ve just made me question if anything in my life is real
@@Kay-Pee 🤣😎
Hi KP, I had to laugh at your comment, "She's giving Edna vibes, from The Incredibles..." Never crossed my mind and you are absolutely right!
It’s not random, it just doesn’t happen in order… now you have to watch it again to understand the end of the movie…
It's really not that complicated
@@IntoTheWhite04 for some reason I'm noticing viewers these days really get lost on things we understood even as kids back when these movies were first released lol
@@dawb86 and every website has to have an article titled "..... ending explained". People say society is being dummed down but I think it already has been. Mission complete.
@@IntoTheWhite04 Sadly true. People now are just so used to having everything explained and spoonfed to them. I was twelve when the original Matrix was released and I remember asking people years afterward what they thought about it and how many said they didn't "get it." Now it's a regular phrase in the culture to quip we're "living in the Matrix" when something weird happens in society.
@@dawb86 every other film being a superhero/comic book film hasn't helped matters.
Okay, here's my bad joke:
Four guys find a treasure chest and sit down to decide what to do with money. One guy says:
- Let's spend all the money on twinkies!
The other guy goes:
- Why tf would you need so much twinkies?
Then the second guy goes:
- Let's buy some exotic animals!
The same guy goes:
- Why tf would you need so much animals?
Then the third guy says:
- Okay, lets spend all the money on beer. We all like beer, right?
- Why tf do we need so much beer?
The guys get mad at him and ask him:
- Then you fkn decide what to do with the money!
He says:
- Let's use all the money to buy air balloons, we blow them up and let them go into the sky.
The guys look confused and ask:
- Okay, but why letting them go into the sky?
- Because why tf would we need those?
What did the elephant say to the giraffe? Nothing. Giraffes can't talk.🤣
Tarantino has a thing for feet so that probably contributed to that initial discussion
Gripping, intense, great film. Can have those harsh moments but Tarantino can def take us on a wild ride yet leave us satisfied. I love his old school grindhouse style. Thanx so much, Peace
8:20 This is one of the first movies to have successive conversations unrelated to the jobs at hand as most films up until the 90s are all about talking about the main plot and nothing else. The unrelated stuff gives life to the notion that the characters are actual people outside the plot, who have stuff going on to fill time between the jobs and show their personalities off. Mia Wallace, by contrast, actively hates doing that just for its own sake and is attracted to people who are comfortable just vibing in quiet.
Did you hear about the Swede who threw the firecracker into the Norwegian's yard? The Norwegian lit it and threw it back again.
Great to have you back, and with some dark comedy dude (Coen Bros 🙏 🙏 🙏) Cheers dude!🥂
Can't wait to see you with the diner scenes!! My fave parts of this flick. And you also like Tim Roth. Everything he's in I love him. He's intense.
5:34 That song you're thumpin to is Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang. Badass dance song. Too young and with fake ID, I danced many nights to that. Still love it coz I love funk. Btw, Discos were fun af! Just dancing and drinking😂
I was howling at your walken impression
In the movie From Paris With Love, Travolta stars in it and his favorite item to eat is a royale with cheese
The definition at the beginning told you it was going to be lurid subject matter.
I was shocked at Bruce wearing his watch on his right wrist, but I just looked him up and see he's left handed, so I guess it makes sense.
You're face throughout is fantastic!! What a fun reaction dude.
10:28 "It's not meant to be funny." 👏
THAT'S dark comedy. And exactly why I love it. You get to crack up at the worst things ever. 😂 You gots to see Seven Psychopaths, or Fargo. Lmfao
That quote isn't in the Bible. It's ctualaly from a Sonny Chiba movie. But it's also on Nick Fury's fake grave at the end of Winter Soldier. Which made me laugh.
thank you for being smarter than most reactors to this and understanding Mia snorting that line of heroine was a bad thing before that scene escalated... not to mention realizing it was H and note coke.
Travolta shifted because of 13 years in the doldrums making a host of films that were failures. Travolta was a big star by the end of the 70s - with Grease and Saturday Night fever - then in the 80s his career hit the skids. He was in a number of commercial and critical failures - it wasn't until Pulp Fiction in 1993 that revived his career.
the thing between robbing a bank and robbing a restaurant is with a bank, everybody is upfront. you can see were they all are and there's only one way out. with a restaurant everybody is scattered, to many people to watch over. plus there's the kitchen staff that can escape out the back
How did Travolta go from Grease to this? A decade of not doing anything worth doing, that's how. He hit a really bad slump in the 80's where he was basically box office poison. It was Tarantino, a huge classic movie and TV fan, who wrote the part of Vincent specifically for him and pulled him out of that slump. This movie restarted Travolta's career and made him a big name again.
Wasn't he more of a theater actor like musicals and stuff but badly injured his leg and thus left on the sidewalk or something? Or am I mixing him with someone else?
@@user-pm3wk6lw6m I think you might be thinking of someone else. Travolta got big off the films "Carrie" and "Saturday Night Fever" and then the TV series "Welcome Back, Kotter". It was the sequel to "Fever", called "Staying Alive" (WOW, was that ever a bad film!), that tanked him for about a decade, and only some crappy romcoms and the "Look Who's Talking" comedies kept him afloat. No one was taking him seriously until Tarantino pulled him back up.
The part of Vincent was originally written for Michael Madsen. Travolta was Quentin's second choice.
Non linear story telling.
I think you would REALLY like Snatch.
The guy Ritchie film? I’ll add to the list then
@@Kay-Pee to call it the British Pulp Fiction is a bit reductionist, but is essentially accurate. Pulp Fiction has distinct chapters that each have their own protagonist, where as Snatch is one story being told in essentially chronologically (there are some flash backs and time jumps) but jumping the perspective you are seeing events from. It has that same "these stories all seem separate > omg, it is one story!" feel. It will similarly have you laughing at some violent crime you didn't think you'd find yourself laughing at. Just found your channel, looking forward to seeing some of your other reactions.
I wanted to suggest an older movie. I thought it was Quentin movie but it's a Robert Rodriguez film. It's called Desperado(1995). It stars Selma Hayak, Antonio Banderas, Steve Buscemi, even Quentin has a cameo in the movie. Robert Rodriguez also worked on Sin City, From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill 2.
Love your reaction, as always.
"Im trying real hard to be the shepherd"
"Butch", "we're in America, our names don't mean sh*t". Butch means slaughter, like butcher.
The best of this film is that you can stop watching it. You know why? Because if you try to predict anything you'll be wrong. Every scene is completely unexpected.
Another joke (attention 80's Gen-Xers!).....Why did A Flock Of Seagulls refuse to tour the Middle East? Because Iran's so far away.
People do talk that way.
6:34 Yeah, Travolta is really versatile. I mean, really versatile... Vinny in Welcome Back Kotter 70s series; Danny Zuco in Grease; this role; and the arch angel himself, in Nora Ephron's "Michael" w/William Hurt. Not many people escape getting pigeonholed. He really has. 22:18 omg I forgot about Saturday Night Fever! Also mid 70s. Yeah he was working his ass off that decade.
I loved that movie, Michael.
@@that.ll_do_pig OMG yes!! He plays that role unbelievably!! When he's holding that dog! Lhm his face there. Dude can act fr.
I always like seeing Quentin T in his movies. 45:55. Dude that makes the coffee
Mayonnaise with chips is fresh! I don't understand why the yanks are so opposed to it. Don't they eat potatoe salad? I know that they do! I've been there.
Editing suggestion: If you could make the volume the same as when you talk and the volume of the movie, that would be helpful. I'm turning it up to hear what is happening in the movie, then getting blasted when you talk. I hope this helps.
Thanks for feedback, I’ll take note
6:35 travoltas career was on a sharp decline and Quinton brought it back with this film by showing the audience that he isn't just a one trick pony.
A joke I learned from another five year old when I was five:
Kid goes to school for the first time, he's been so neglected by his parents that he doesn't know his own name. Gets told to go home that night and find out what his name is.
"Mom, can you tell me what my name is?"
His mom is in the middle of doing something else and replies absently "oh, sure honey."
Dad's watching the football game. "Dad, what's my name?"
Dad's team scores a touchdown, he leaps to his feet and screams "YEAH!"
Next morning the kid is desperate. "Garbageman, do you know what my name is?"
The garbageman is completely checked out, singing a song whose only word is "garbage."
Teacher asks the kid his name.
"Oh, sure honey?" he suggests nervously.
Class laughs, teacher asks "Do you want to go to the principal's office young man?"
He leaps to his feet and yells "YEAH!", hoping maybe he can still turn this around.
The principal gives the kid a huge lecture about respect and being prepared for life, and concludes with the rhetorical, "What do you think I am?"
"Garbage~ garbage~ garbage~ garbage~ garbage~ garbage~"
You asked for bad, I deliver.
This was filmed in the mid 90s. I bet you could still smoke on a plane and in Burger King. In 2006 I went through Utah and they had ashtrays at the tables in Burger King. Lol ohh how the times have changed. In America only about half of us own guns. Yet we own more guns than all police military and civilians worldwide. 😂😂😂 FAFO!!! The best estimate is between 500 million to 1 billion guns owned by us the U.S. citizens police and military excluded!
In 1995 you most definitely could NOT smoke on a plane if memory serves. Restaurants were another matter but big fast food places? In 1995? Yeah most were phasing in some kind of ban for customers across the states, though, I wouldn't be surprised at long lasting "exceptions" in your Alabama's or Utah's. NYC had their blanket ban during Bloomberg's reign which started 2001. Theaters also were phasing it in in the 90's.
You gotta understand... Tarantino universe movies take place where the USA's culture never advanced past 1990. 😂 Smoking is everywhere, you can board planes with Samurai swords, there's no real Internet , no one has a smartphone and clothing is a spectrum ranging from 1940's, mid 50's, late 70's and the very early 80's.
Pausing movies while watching is the worst thing you can do in reactions...The guy stops the movie every 5 minutes, takes a lunch break and then proudly proclaims that he figured something out and said it in advance :D
Like his movies or not, NO ONE makes more interesting characters than Tarantino.
"that's heroin....... OOOOOOHHHH THAT'S HEROIN!!! I didn't even see how big the line was but, i mean... that's just..... I'm no heroinologist, but that's way over the heroin limit a heroin taker should ha-...., like...."
i laughed tears my man xD
8:25, yup. that's a good summary of any movie by tarantino.
and
17:07
yup, you could smoke indoors anywhere on earth just 30 years ago.

that's how adrenaline shots work. both in humans and other mammals. quickest way to make a heart going brrr again is into it. heart is like %80 muscle and %15 veins. it delivers whatever you give it the quickest.
Mid well is how I take my steak too. People think it's anything but personal taste, like you ruin a steak if it's anything more than medium. It's such a weird elitist/gatekeeping thing that people love to rant about. Just like this comment, I guess 😂
I think most don't care or judge, honestly it's just about food being sanitary. Eating rare or bloody isn't a guarantee of food poisoning but it does raise its Spector by a bit.
i am the 420th like........ GREAT SUCCESS :]
Travolta is really good in "Broken Arrow" too.
I would like to believe actors who party would get this right but I never heard of Travolta ever playing around on the bad side side.....on the other hand , blow, yeah they all got down
How is not knowing a foreign language racist?
Samuel L Jackson puts the battery in Quentin's back for the gratuitous n word use every movie
I'm a firm believer in the Steve Buscemi/Mr. Pink/Buddy Holly theory in regards to the suitcase.
I gotta make the point that men can seem to understand extraneous sa in film when it happens to men. That's how women feel seeing that mess all the time.
Butch eats the poptart because he is leaving L.A. for Knoxville ,Tennessee as soon as he gets out of there, but he missed breakfast with Fabienne, because he had to get the watch. So he wants to eat before the 2,000 mile trip.
Close!!! He ate it because he knows once he gets to Tennessee, he won’t be able to get any… Pop Tarts are banned in Tennessee due to the sweetener in the filler being on the “may cause cancer list”

Gets offended by a movie. This person is going to have a difficult life
I think you have that reversed. You CHOSE to be preoccupied enough about his emotions to comment. So... How much of a big grown up Hard Man Telling Hard Truths Stoic can ya'lls actually be if you can't stop yourself from being offended by someone else's opinion about a movie you like?
Cuz... If YOU can't do that... You're prolly gonna have a difficult life.
😂😂😂
@@miguelvelez7221 You got it wrong champ, he gets offended over criminals not being PC.
I agree, weird that he got more offended over a word instead of a man getting r@ped.
If you actually go back and read the little caption at the very start of the movie... this movie will make a little more sense...
52:53 LMAO
Here's a joke....
3 women die and go to heaven. Upon arrival they notice heaven is full of ducks. God appears before the women and says "You can relax and do anything you want. Just don't step on my ducks or you'll be punished". The first woman steps on a duck the first day,so God punishes her by chaining her to the rudest,crudest,most unpleasant man she could ever imagine for all of eternity. A week later the 2nd woman steps on a duck and God punishes her by chaining her to the worst man she could imagine for all eternity. The 3rd woman sees this and treads more carefully avoiding any ducks for several months. One day God appears and chains her to the most handsome,intelligent well kept man she could've ever dreamed of. She felt truly blessed so she says to the man "I don't know what I could've done to deserve such a man as yourself". He replied to her "Well I stepped on a duck".......
You can definitely get the wallet because I have one
Did you watch it on mute?
No some audio bits are muted due to copyright. And I had some audio issues during the apartment scene
Why he have a microphone and still sound like he whispering?
I wish I could hear you better. When it's just you, I can hear you fine, but when the movie is playing, you're muffled.
The volume is kinda low.. especially you, and the movie too
Yeah sorry about that. I had an issue that affected a few minutes of the video from when they get to the apartment to when they pick up Mia. Sound before/after that should be good though.

I’m ashamed I laughed out loud in public at this. Great joke
How did Travolta go from Grease to this? His career took a down turn. Same thing with Bruce Willis. They were riding high and then they each started struggling. After Grease all Travolta's movies were flops until Look Who's Talking. And that movie featured a baby who had Bruce Willis's voice, so it wasn't really a Travolta movie. Pulp Fiction resurrected both of their careers and made Samuel Jackson into the Samuel Jackson we all know. Tarantino made this movie at just the right time to be able to afford to have these people in his movie.
First!
As soon as a reactor doesn't appreciate the dialogue in the first two scenes, i can already tell they won't really get the movie. Bro, just stick to blockbusters.
Ps - this guy definitely does drugs, lol.
“Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face”
damn bro, how young are you? or is it me being old? 😁cause it feels like not so long ago since you could smoke anywhere you wanted, hahah. Idk about US tho, in my country its like 6 years or so, since it was banned in clubs and shit. shame.
it stopped in my neck of the US somewhere around 2010, give or take a cpl of years
@@deadassdgaf100 Sounds about right, I quit in 2009 and you could still smoke in bars in my state but pretty much all the restaurants went no smoking at that point.
