@@criminalcontent since you’ve already started with his directorial efforts, I’d suggest staying on that path and circling back to his writing credits after you’ve wrapped those up with True Romance, Natural Born Killers and then Crimson Tide (Tony Scott had Q and Shane Black rewrite most of the dialogue for that one). Gives a better sense of his voice as a writer once you’re more familiar with his work.
"She thinks its coke!" you have nooooooooo idea how many reactors never catch this :D it's not that big a deal, but it also kind of is - there are so many details sprinkled around
I thought knowing that folks usually snort coke and usually Shoot heroin was well known, plus they kind say it in the film if you pay attention to what's being said when Vincent buy the Dope. The guy say coke is for nwords and H is making a comeback. So it should be pretty obvious that Vincent didn't buy coke from him, he bought H
It’s so cool to see someone “get” this movie on their first viewing. I’ve seen probably every reaction to Pulp Fiction and i haven’t seen someone understand and appreciate it as much as you as soon as the credits rolled
Wow. This amazing reaction really underscores the fact that there are two opposite but equally entertaining types of "Pulp Fiction" reactions ... shocked and amused. Most reactors are always saying, "What?!" and that's fun. But this one says, "Sure. That makes sense. Valid," which is hilarious.
Butch keyed Vincent's car after their interaction in the bar, the white stuff Mia was throwing up was the $5 milkshake, Vincent was always using the bathroom-heroin causes chronic constipation, the license plate in the pawn shop is Tennesee-where Butch was heading. The attention to detail is amazing and has been widely studied in film classes. Tarantino was on another level with this one.
Agreed. Some great spots/reaction. I didn't want to search through comments 2 months in but she mentioned. Why is he always reading on the john. Well...Most druggies are constipated. Therefore, he reads whilst waiting...
Regarding robbing restaurants, back in the 90s, nearly everybody would have been paying with cash. Today, it would be nearly all credit, so it wouldn't make as much sense.
In America people would have a gun. Robbing a full restaurant was never a good idea. In that day and age , banks still had lots of money. And all other stores , other than restaurant also mostly would have cash. ✌🏾
Marsellus showing up in front of Butch's car was a nod to Hitchcock's _Psycho_ , when Marion Crane decides to skip town with the money and her boss crosses the crosswalk in front of her.
@@delg1211 Yup, all true, no argument there. I was just talking about cinematic references not the obvious in-movie ones, because I'm a total film nerd. 😅
@@Hi_Chris You're welcome. I love hearing new trivia about films I've seen countless times. I just heard a new one (to me) about Tarantino's _Reservoir Dogs_ recently: namely that as early as the opening scene we're tipped off (excuse the pun) to who the rat is when Joe asks who didn't leave a tip and Mr. Orange immediately points at Mr. Pink!
You are the first to point out how beautifully shot, scored and edited is the heroin preparation sequence. Seeing it on a giant screen in the dark of a dingy Times Square theater in '94 was pure cinema.
So glad to see one of these younger reactors who understands the problem with Mia thinking that what she finds in Vincent's coat is coke and not heroin and what will happen if she treats it as such. Glad to see you aren't as sheltered as it seems many of these "kids" are today - LOL. So very happy you loved and got this film.
I don't really understand this critique. Why would kids be sheltered about the difference between cocaine and heroin? Young people today are way more likely to do heroin than young people 30 years ago statistically speaking.
Frank Whaley (Brett) turned in one of the best performances in this movie. 1) he very effectively walked us through that entire evolution of fear, and 2) he did what supporting actors are supposed to do and that is to make the lead look great.
Watching this in the theatre, Frank's terrified answers of "what" drew huge laughs from the audience. It's so rare watching an edge of your seat, impending doom moment with hilarity.
Always the same question concerning Marcellus showing up in front of Butch´s car: "What are the chances?" ..... well, it´s just around the block, he brought coffee for Vincent.
Yeah most people don't get it. I mean yeah it's a coincidence he just happened to come across him, but it's not totally out of nowhere. Marcellus and Vincent went to Butch's place to see if he would show up. Marcellus stepped out to get something to eat and was on his way back to the apartment.
My guess is that's why Vincent didn't react to Butch coming into the house while he was in the bathroom, he was expecting Wallace to return coz there's no way he didn't hear him living round the house putting on pop tarts and shit.
I watched this movie several times before I realized since Jules quit the life, Wallace went with Vincent to kill Willis' character. That's why the big gun was left on the counter. Wallace left it there when he went for breakfast food.
the DVD Enhanced Trivia Track says the MAC-10 belongs to Wallace but that doesn't make sense. Marsellus pulls out a pistol after being hit by Butch. why would he be carrying a MAC-10 in the apartment if he always has a pistol on him? and if Vincent had a sidearm on him in the restroom, why didn't he try to pull it out when Butch had the MAC-10? i think the MAC-10 was Vincent's gun. he was a careless heroin junkie who was always screwing up. oh, well. it also doesn't make sense that a beautiful Colombian woman would be working as a cab driver... either way, awesome movie!
It's called a "Donut run"... 🤨 That was clearly Vincent's gun. The Big Boss doesn't need a big piece like that, that's why he has Vincent (the Hitman) there. 🧐
I'm in the "it's Vince's gun" camp. Marcellus is the kingpin- he already put his henchmen on a worldwide mission to get Butch-he didn't need to do any of the "wet work" haha. Sorry.
*Nicolette, you never disappoint with.your joyful reactions.* Imo, Pulp Fiction was like a patched quilt. It's amazing the amount of choices we make to intersect with another person. For example, Jules' "miracle" changed many lives.

Your reaction is mint, but we need to talk about the amazing editing. Somehow I never got out of the immersion of the watchalong because the movie was sufficiently present - and when it wasn't, your commentary was both short and interesting enough to make it a great watchalong. I've seen many movie reactions where this kind of balance is off. So good job, peeps.
Let's not pretend Tarantino doesn't create deliberate ambiguity in a not so important facet of a plot detail just to see who dies on unnecessary hills and who doesn't because it's a pretty entertaining past time to see ppl hang on to things that didn't matter
without a doubt, one of the best reactions that i've seen on yt for this one. due to you actually "getting" most of it and your "guesses", as wrong as they were, just made it better.
Great reaction like always, i love this it´s a masterpiece of cinema, the dialogue is sharp, the performances immaculate, and the twists continually surprising. There’s much about the film that stands the test of time. There are some fun-facts about it, You can watch the film chronologically ... kind of. The narrative structure of the film plays out of sequence, but it’s easy enough to break it down into seven distinct sections (a prologue, an epilogue, two preludes, and three large segments) that can then be re-ordered into a chronological narrative. This movie contains 265 f-bombs, Even that hefty number isn’t Tarantino’s highest (1992’s Reservoir Dogs used it 269 times). Still, the film was the big “f word” winner of 1994, as no other film released that year even came close to that amount of profanity. John Travolta’s character in the film had a sweet ride which, in real life, belonged to Tarantino and it was such a hot rod that it was stolen soon after the film’s release. Uma Thurman wasn’t actually Tarantino’s his first pick for Mia Wallace. Other possible Mias? Isabella Rossellini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Daryl Hannah, Rosanna Arquette, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Tarantino’s original favorite was supposedly Pfeiffer. The original theatrical poster is worth a lot of money. The first poster had Thurman smoking not from a box of Red Apple cigarettes (Tarantino’s fake brand, seen in many films), but from a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes. However, Miramax hadn’t licensed usage rights from Lucky Strikes, which then threatened to sue. Rather than fight it, Miramax had the posters returned. Those that survived can now command big money. The infamous scene in which Mia Wallace is stabbed with a very necessary adrenaline shot was stressful enough, so Tarantino took off some of the pressure: The needle was inserted, and then Travolta pulled it out. The scene was reversed in post-production so it looks as if Vincent Vega really is plunging that syringe into her. Movie magic! And the character Vincent Vega is the brother of Michael Madsen's character (Vic Vega) in Reservoir Dogs. About your question whats in the case, Tarantino leaves that answer to us its anything we want, many speculate that is Marsellus soul, This is a theory that, at face value, seems wholly unbelievable, but holds merit among many of the fans who have theorized over the last 25-plus years as to what could be inside the briefcase. There are theories that Marsellus had previously sold his soul to the devil, with key indicators pointing to the fact that the combination to the briefcase is '666' and that Marsellus has an unexplained band-aid covering a scar on the back of his neck. This would explain the shock and awe that people feel upon seeing inside the briefcase. There are religious anecdotes spread throughout the film, specifically concerning the character Jules Winnfield. Samuel L. Jackson is often remembered for this role, where Jules would recite biblical scripture and cite the fact that he has survived near-impossible odds as divine intervention, telling him to leave this unethical work. But the funny thing is that Jules doesnt qoute the bibble, this version Ezekiel 25:17 isn’t taken verbatim from the bible. In fact, Tarantino actually took the exchange from the opening of a Japanese martial-arts film called Karate Kiba (1973), starring Sonny Chiba in the titular role. Keep up amazing work.
Wow, I've never heard about the Wallace theory of his soul being in the case. I guessed it was gold bars or maybe the Holy Grail since there was that glowing gold light shining out of the case.
Fun to watch how much you enjoyed this classic Nicolette! The next movie Tarantino made was Jackie Brown. I can highly recommend that one too. I don't know if you have seen The big Lebowski but that is another fantastic movie from the 90's!
Because the role of Vincent Vega was originally written for the actor who played Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) in RD. He was going to be in this movie, too, as Vic Vega.
Vincent (Travolta) Vega an Vic (Mr. Blond, the psycho from Reservoir Dogs) Vega are supposed to be brothers. Tarantino talked for a while about making a Vega Brothers movie, but it never materialized.
The best reaction to Pulp Fiction, by far Brought back some memories, when I saw this movie 30 years ago in a small theater as a pre-screening, before anybody knew what it was, before it won the awards
I watched this masterpiece dozens of times. I was enthralled by your reaction. You are so sharp, intelligent, culturally, and artistically aware. It was thoroughly entertaining seeing this film from your perspective.
Delightful reaction - this is like a time-capsule experience of the 90s, and that's how we felt about it when it came out, like it was capturing some moment in time that we were all part of, and savoring it with us - I think the Vincent-Mia segment is maybe THE ultimate dating scene - each is nervous, and self-medicates recklessly to cope, and this puts them each on a different frequency, literally - and yet somehow they still connect, for a fleeting moment of beauty - and this roller coaster of emotions we've all experienced is so terrifying and joyous and universal that Tarantino films it like a musical, with the soundtrack lyrics providing godlike commentary like a Greek chorus - the pop-culture, "wax museum" cosplay setting frames the dining scene with an eternal, archetypal quality - and then the horrific tailspin that ensues sets the preceding scene apart as a brief and all too precarious moment of bliss - is this how we experience happiness in our own lives? And then Travolta dies, another moment of random stupidity, like Uma blithely snorting this unknown material - and then at the very end of the film, Jackson does this impromptu Intervention for Tim Roth - Jackson is voicing this warning to himself, also, as we see, and he could also be speaking to Travolta, and maybe to the rest of us, also - there's something magic about how all this comes together, as a kind of passionate entreaty - that feels to me somehow like the impulse that made Tarantino want to be a film-maker I feel like Pulp Fiction and Do the Right Thing are two defining "Masala" films of the decade, one framing our social engagement, the other framing our retreat into escapist movie-love, both emulating Scorsese's 70s Mean Streets, which he'd just remade as Goodfellas - Go, Get Shorty, Rules of Attraction, and Jackie Brown are maybe my 4 favorite follow-ups in the Pulp Fiction mode - the 90s is a decade studded w such indie jewels - some other gems rarely mentioned include The Funeral (imo the greatest gangster film, from a film-maker who made a career making such urgent entreaties to the audience) - also The Yards, Deep Cover, Dead Man, Nightjohn, Edward II, Waking Life
29:02 I always find it amusing when cute ladies say that someone else is really pretty and they are technically more pretty than the person they are complimenting. lol 35:05 Notice also that on the radio when Bruce was at the apartments, they talk of a stolen trophy. They didn't 'win' the trophy for dancing, they stole it. lol
"Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face." We laughed so hard at that scene in the theatre, and then immediately felt horrible for doing so. Until we noticed everyone else laughing as well. It's was pure genius to make such a shocking and sordid deed so incredibly funny. Great to see you thought it was hilarious as well!
I saw this as a freshman in college cause I’m old . My gf now my wife took me to see on a date cause she knew I was anxious to see it . I had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time. My favorite movie. Watching you enjoy it reminded me of how much I loved it that opening night back in the day. Cheers doll❤️
One of the most iconic movie blooper @45:45 , bullet holes behind Sam and Vincent before that guy rushed out of the kitchen and started shooting. Still by far one of the best movie created.
Ving Rhames' (Marsellus) name is actually Irving Rhames. He was given the abbreviated nickname, "Ving," by his acting school classmate, Stanley Tucci. He kept it as his professional name.
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).
YES, the katana shows Tatantinos interest in making a KillBill style movie. The FoxForce5 show Mia starred in was the orginal idea for KillBill. Her character's specialty in the show was knives just as Beatrix Kiddo's in KillBill was.
"Are you talking to me on a cellular phone? I don't know you. Who is this? Don't come here. I'm hanging up the phone. Prank caller prank caller!" My favorite quote
This is by far the best reaction to PULP FICTION I've seen so far. You caught so many details that are so unappreciated in this film and you followed the story perfectly. I cant stand when reactors miss specific details but you were on 👏🏼point 👏🏼. Youve got yourself a new subscriber! 🎉
I look back on all of these, especially seeing Bruce Willis. And after his diagnosis a few years ago of aphasia, his health is deteriorating. Really sad. He'll always be one of the best.
i remember seeing this in brussels on a class trip. the girls and teach chose some romantic comedy and we guys went ... to see something else. I saw the poster and said 'lets watch that'. We were blown away, it was nothing like what we have ever seen. Still think it is Tarantinos best work. And the best work of a couple of actors in them including Sam Jackson.
Vic Vega aka Mr. Blonde played by Michael Madsen from Reservoir Dogs was Vincent's brother. Also, Butch was the person who keyed Vincent's car. Great reaction.
“Nobody kills anybody in my place, except me and Zed“. That’s fair 😂😂😂 Great reaction. It’s so refreshing to have someone paying attention to the movie the entire time and getting all the little details.
Marcells was bringing breakfast back to Vincet where they were staking out the apartment. Vincent thought the noise from Butch was his breakfast coming through the door.
"If you would have took it seriously, maybe you would have survived the next one", you are the only reaction to this movie who I have seen take notice of that and bring it up. As it was a miracle, but you don't often get multiple chances to clean up you act, Jules took it way serious, while Vincent didn't, and we all see where it led. Even the diner was another place to make changes, as it got robbed, but Vincent wanted to blow the robbers away, while Jules helped them out. Hopefully they made some life changes as well, as that situation could have easily gone wrong for them as well.
I used to do the 'junkie' look from time to time. Rub pencil lead on fine sandpaper and mix a little with Vicks Vaporub. Smear a little of this mixture under your eyes, and you have the impression of black eye-bags, with the added bonus of the Vicks fumes making your eyes go watery and streamy. Act twitchy and vague to complete the impression. It really freaks people out 😆
*Now, whenever you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, watch for the fictional products. Especially "Red Apple Cigarettes"🍎🚬and "Big Kahuna Burger" 🏄🍔. There's also "G.O. Juice", and "Teriyaki Donuts"* 🗾🍩 And listen for *"Hand cannon"* and *"I seriously doubt that."*
The first time we watched this movie was at a local theater in Wash, DC. It was similar to a room where they bring in POWs to show them propaganda films (including load bearing support beams). *Fun Fact:* Phil LaMarr (Marvin) is also a prolific voice character actor in many animated series. Most notably "Samurai Jack", "Green Lantern" and "Hermes Conrad" ("Futurama").

The narrative structure of the film plays out of sequence, but it’s easy enough to break it down into seven distinct sections (a prologue, an epilogue, two preludes, and three large segments) that can then be re-ordered into a chronological narrative.
This movie contains 265 f-bombs, Even that hefty number isn’t Tarantino’s highest (1992’s Reservoir Dogs used it 269 times). Still, the film was the big “f word” winner of 1994, as no other film released that year even came close to that amount of profanity. John Travolta’s character in the film had a sweet ride which, in real life, belonged to Tarantino and it was such a hot rod that it was stolen soon after the film’s release.
Uma Thurman wasn’t actually Tarantino’s his first pick for Mia Wallace. Other possible Mias? Isabella Rossellini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Daryl Hannah, Rosanna Arquette, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Tarantino’s original favorite was supposedly Pfeiffer. The original theatrical poster is worth a lot of money.
The first poster had Thurman smoking not from a box of Red Apple cigarettes (Tarantino’s fake brand, seen in many films), but from a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes. However, Miramax hadn’t licensed usage rights from Lucky Strikes, which then threatened to sue. Rather than fight it, Miramax had the posters returned. Those that survived can now command big money.
The infamous scene in which Mia Wallace is stabbed with a very necessary adrenaline shot was stressful enough, so Tarantino took off some of the pressure: The needle was inserted, and then Travolta pulled it out. The scene was reversed in post-production so it looks as if Vincent Vega really is plunging that syringe into her. Movie magic!
And the character Vincent Vega is the brother of Michael Madsen's character (Vic Vega) in Reservoir Dogs.
About your question whats in the case, Tarantino leaves that answer to us its anything we want, many speculate that is Marsellus soul, This is a theory that, at face value, seems wholly unbelievable, but holds merit among many of the fans who have theorized over the last 25-plus years as to what could be inside the briefcase. There are theories that Marsellus had previously sold his soul to the devil, with key indicators pointing to the fact that the combination to the briefcase is '666' and that Marsellus has an unexplained band-aid covering a scar on the back of his neck. This would explain the shock and awe that people feel upon seeing inside the briefcase.
There are religious anecdotes spread throughout the film, specifically concerning the character Jules Winnfield. Samuel L. Jackson is often remembered for this role, where Jules would recite biblical scripture and cite the fact that he has survived near-impossible odds as divine intervention, telling him to leave this unethical work. But the funny thing is that Jules doesnt qoute the bibble, this version Ezekiel 25:17 isn’t taken verbatim from the bible. In fact, Tarantino actually took the exchange from the opening of a Japanese martial-arts film called Karate Kiba (1973), starring Sonny Chiba in the titular role.
Keep up amazing work.
Wow, I've never heard about the Wallace theory of his soul being in the case. I guessed it was gold bars or maybe the Holy Grail since there was that glowing gold light shining out of the case.
Fun to watch how much you enjoyed this classic Nicolette! The next movie Tarantino made was Jackie Brown. I can highly recommend that one too. I don't know if you have seen The big Lebowski but that is another fantastic movie from the 90's!
_Jackie Brown_ is arguably Tarantino's most soulful film.
Saw it in the movies in 94. We were al blown away. Thank you as always for your reaction.
thank you !!
Rare breed of a smart woman doing this kind of videos. Great reaction👌
Thank you!! 😊
Butch's apartment was actually located in North Hollywood, so you were spot on about it looking similar to your place in the valley lol
Vic Vega aka Mr. Blonde is Vincent's brother.
Because the role of Vincent Vega was originally written for the actor who played Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) in RD. He was going to be in this movie, too, as Vic Vega.
@@dard4642 eternally grateful madsen wasnt in pf. cant stand him. he went on big brother ffs. yawn.
I like reaction videos generally, but this was fantastic. Thank you for it.
Bill Belichick reference?!? Let's go
Vincent (Travolta) Vega an Vic (Mr. Blond, the psycho from Reservoir Dogs) Vega are supposed to be brothers. Tarantino talked for a while about making a Vega Brothers movie, but it never materialized.
Great reaction. :)
Thank you! 😁
The best reaction to Pulp Fiction, by far
Brought back some memories, when I saw this movie 30 years ago in a small theater as a pre-screening, before anybody knew what it was, before it won the awards
thank you !
@@criminalcontent Thank You
Great reaction. Had me laughing at all your comments 😂
I watched this masterpiece dozens of times. I was enthralled by your reaction. You are so sharp, intelligent, culturally, and artistically aware. It was thoroughly entertaining seeing this film from your perspective.
Thank you !!
I like the fact that although they're criminals, Vince, Jules and Marcellus aren't really evil, they all have codes of behavior.
Delightful reaction - this is like a time-capsule experience of the 90s, and that's how we felt about it when it came out, like it was capturing some moment in time that we were all part of, and savoring it with us - I think the Vincent-Mia segment is maybe THE ultimate dating scene - each is nervous, and self-medicates recklessly to cope, and this puts them each on a different frequency, literally - and yet somehow they still connect, for a fleeting moment of beauty - and this roller coaster of emotions we've all experienced is so terrifying and joyous and universal that Tarantino films it like a musical, with the soundtrack lyrics providing godlike commentary like a Greek chorus
- the pop-culture, "wax museum" cosplay setting frames the dining scene with an eternal, archetypal quality - and then the horrific tailspin that ensues sets the preceding scene apart as a brief and all too precarious moment of bliss - is this how we experience happiness in our own lives? And then Travolta dies, another moment of random stupidity, like Uma blithely snorting this unknown material
- and then at the very end of the film, Jackson does this impromptu Intervention for Tim Roth - Jackson is voicing this warning to himself, also, as we see, and he could also be speaking to Travolta, and maybe to the rest of us, also - there's something magic about how all this comes together, as a kind of passionate entreaty - that feels to me somehow like the impulse that made Tarantino want to be a film-maker
I feel like Pulp Fiction and Do the Right Thing are two defining "Masala" films of the decade, one framing our social engagement, the other framing our retreat into escapist movie-love, both emulating Scorsese's 70s Mean Streets, which he'd just remade as Goodfellas - Go, Get Shorty, Rules of Attraction, and Jackie Brown are maybe my 4 favorite follow-ups in the Pulp Fiction mode
- the 90s is a decade studded w such indie jewels - some other gems rarely mentioned include The Funeral (imo the greatest gangster film, from a film-maker who made a career making such urgent entreaties to the audience) - also The Yards, Deep Cover, Dead Man, Nightjohn, Edward II, Waking Life
My favorite movie for ever
29:02 I always find it amusing when cute ladies say that someone else is really pretty and they are technically more pretty than the person they are complimenting. lol
35:05 Notice also that on the radio when Bruce was at the apartments, they talk of a stolen trophy. They didn't 'win' the trophy for dancing, they stole it. lol
Your excitement before the dance scene was great!
Leave the gun, take the pop-tart😂
Buddy the waiter is Steve Buscemi, who never tips (in Reservoir Dogs).
"Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face." We laughed so hard at that scene in the theatre, and then immediately felt horrible for doing so. Until we noticed everyone else laughing as well. It's was pure genius to make such a shocking and sordid deed so incredibly funny. Great to see you thought it was hilarious as well!
One of my top 5 movies of all time ... Every actor plays their role so freaking well .. I love it .. the movie is just so awesome
I saw this as a freshman in college cause I’m old . My gf now my wife took me to see on a date cause she knew I was anxious to see it . I had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time. My favorite movie. Watching you enjoy it reminded me of how much I loved it that opening night back in the day. Cheers doll❤️
One of the most iconic movie blooper @45:45 , bullet holes behind Sam and Vincent before that guy rushed out of the kitchen and started shooting. Still by far one of the best movie created.
Ving Rhames' (Marsellus) name is actually Irving Rhames. He was given the abbreviated nickname, "Ving," by his acting school classmate, Stanley Tucci. He kept it as his professional name.
you are a much better reactor than most other reactors. thanks for being you
You're the best!
@@criminalcontent hey if you find yourself in trouble, just recite ezekiel 25:13
Definitely more reactions from this young lady. Really enjoy her reactions!
More to come!
Nicolette: "I want some pig--I want some pancakes."
Me: "I want some pigcakes."
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).
YES, the katana shows Tatantinos interest in making a KillBill style movie. The FoxForce5 show Mia starred in was the orginal idea for KillBill. Her character's specialty in the show was knives just as Beatrix Kiddo's in KillBill was.
bolo ties had a run in the late 80s/early 90s for about a year or 2. Love your format btw!!
I've been randomly saying "Oak's nice" for 30 years whenever someone mentions anything that is Oak. Lol
I've been saying "GODDAMN, JIMMY, THIS SOME GOURMET SHIT!" for 30 years 😂
"Are you talking to me on a cellular phone? I don't know you. Who is this? Don't come here. I'm hanging up the phone. Prank caller prank caller!" My favorite quote
The waiter is Steve Busemi. Also Vincent Vega is Mr. Blonde's brother in Reservoir Dogs.
This is by far the best reaction to PULP FICTION I've seen so far. You caught so many details that are so unappreciated in this film and you followed the story perfectly. I cant stand when reactors miss specific details but you were on 👏🏼point 👏🏼. Youve got yourself a new subscriber! 🎉
Like someone else mentioned, hardly any reactors picked up on the fact she was snorting h. Good pickup!! Great reaction!!!
it’s funny how you mention a theory about vincent vega being mr white while the person writing that down (mr. wolfe) IS mr. white from reservoir dogs
I look back on all of these, especially seeing Bruce Willis. And after his diagnosis a few years ago of aphasia, his health is deteriorating. Really sad. He'll always be one of the best.
neither Nicolette or Coby have seen die hard
YES NICOLETTE TIME! SUCH A PERFECT WAY TO START MY WEEKEND.
The TV show she talks about was what was made into the Kill Bill Movies.
i remember seeing this in brussels on a class trip. the girls and teach chose some romantic comedy and we guys went ... to see something else. I saw the poster and said 'lets watch that'. We were blown away, it was nothing like what we have ever seen. Still think it is Tarantinos best work. And the best work of a couple of actors in them including Sam Jackson.
21:50 - I knew she was a smart girl!! Loved her from jump.
Vic Vega aka Mr. Blonde played by Michael Madsen from Reservoir Dogs was Vincent's brother. Also, Butch was the person who keyed Vincent's car. Great reaction.
Awesome reaction ! Thank you!
Nicolette you are a great reactor. Funny and insightful, and I really enjoyed watching you enjoy this movie.
thank you !!
“Nobody kills anybody in my place, except me and Zed“. That’s fair 😂😂😂
Great reaction. It’s so refreshing to have someone paying attention to the movie the entire time and getting all the little details.
sorry, the reviewer chick is cute as hell, but her comments... 😅
Samuel L Jackson shows that he's easily one of the best actors in the world in this movie. 😅
I loved your personality and the reaction! Subscribed!
"No Country For Old Men" is my other favorite movie if you haven't done it.
Thanks for subbing!
Marcells was bringing breakfast back to Vincet where they were staking out the apartment. Vincent thought the noise from Butch was his breakfast coming through the door.
"If you would have took it seriously, maybe you would have survived the next one", you are the only reaction to this movie who I have seen take notice of that and bring it up. As it was a miracle, but you don't often get multiple chances to clean up you act, Jules took it way serious, while Vincent didn't, and we all see where it led. Even the diner was another place to make changes, as it got robbed, but Vincent wanted to blow the robbers away, while Jules helped them out. Hopefully they made some life changes as well, as that situation could have easily gone wrong for them as well.
the show that little Butch was watching was called Clutch Cargo
I used to do the 'junkie' look from time to time. Rub pencil lead on fine sandpaper and mix a little with Vicks Vaporub. Smear a little of this mixture under your eyes, and you have the impression of black eye-bags, with the added bonus of the Vicks fumes making your eyes go watery and streamy. Act twitchy and vague to complete the impression. It really freaks people out 😆
The Gimp is not played by Tarantino. The actor of the Gimp is married to the actor of Junkyard-Raquel (where Harvey Keitel gets rid of the car).
And Raquel is "Pat" from that old SNL sketch. :)
Pulp Fiction was so good that even kids today can enjoy it :D
Jackson continues to 'walk the earth' and shows up in Kill Bill vol1 as the pianist at the wedding
"That guy looks like Steve buscheme." 😂😂😂
*Now, whenever you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, watch for the fictional products. Especially "Red Apple Cigarettes"🍎🚬and "Big Kahuna Burger" 🏄🍔. There's also "G.O. Juice", and "Teriyaki Donuts"* 🗾🍩
And listen for *"Hand cannon"* and *"I seriously doubt that."*
Big Kahuna Burger is a real place now - in Brazil. Not sure how they got away with that....
Now I suddenly need to try a Teriyaki Donut lol
It's always a treat when someone notices Seth Gecko is carrying a bag from Big Kahuna Burger into the motel in From Dusk Till Dawn.
@@WolfHreda It also appears in Death Proof, Four Rooms, and Reservoir Dogs
Her Italian/American is strong! And it’s beautiful
The first time we watched this movie was at a local theater in Wash, DC. It was similar to a room where they bring in POWs to show them propaganda films (including load bearing support beams). *Fun Fact:* Phil LaMarr (Marvin) is also a prolific voice character actor in many animated series. Most notably "Samurai Jack", "Green Lantern" and "Hermes Conrad" ("Futurama").
