EVERY time Vincent takes a piss or shit something bad happens dude. 1. Mia OD's on coke 2. The coffee shop robbery 3. Bruce Willis kills him The only time something bad didn't happen was when he was washing his hands at Jimmy's house but all he did was wash his hands
I thought so too, until I noticed that he seemed to be carrying it around a little too easily, as if it was pretty lightweight. Gold bars would only make sense if it was depicted as being really heavy.
Very true, i didn't take that into account! Knowing Tarantino he probably didn't know what was in the briefcase himself! Probably just wanted to create a random mysterious aura behind it to mess with us lol. As a director i'd probably do the same, it'd be fun to see what crazy theories people fabricate haha!
The famous dancing scene between John Travolta and Uma Thurman was shot in 1 take...Uma was so excited to dance with John but bummed that they got it right the first time.
For what Pulp Fiction did to Travolta's flagging career that pay cut was a good deal. It showed with the right script and director that he is in fact a good actor.
They didn't win the dance competition. We found out when Bruce Willis blows away Travolta and the radio news (background) claims the trophy had been stolen.
I have to re watch it to double check but, easter egg for winter solider with Fury's grave, says something about the "path of the righteous man...." certainly a homage to jacksons pulp fiction character.
Fury's tombstone says "Ezekiel 25:17" on it at the end of that movie, which of course is an obvious reference to the role that Samuel Jackson played in "Pulp Fiction."
Apparently that's not actually true. They tried filming it that way, but it didn't look quite right, so in the film they used the footage of Travolta doing it the normal way.
Bonus fact: some people who theorize that the contents of the briefcase is Wallace's soul, believe the band-aid on the back of his head is there because that's where he took it out. I personally always figured it was gold, given the yellowish glow.
+Thomas Torrissen The idea was to leave it mysterious and bright and shiny so that it could represent whatever the person viewing it or whatever the person watching the movie wanted it to be. One guy looks at it and it could be gold, maybe for the next guy it's plutonium, who knows. Originally it was going to be diamonds but that seemed bland. Band-aid thing's already been delved into, Ving Rhames cut himself shaving and Tarantino thought it looked cool. Things are rarely as deep and mysterious as people make them out to be.
Reaves MO I know what the band-aid actually was for, but I thought I'd mention it because some people to have that theory. I might also mention that I pretty much hate the way people constantly look for a deeper meaning that isn't there. Some stories do have a deeper meaning but a lot don't. The way we in school were forced to analyze short stories and songs for a lot of bullshit that was never intended by the author. (side note: South Park did a wonderful episode on this subject: "The tale of scrotie McBoogerballs". I highly recomend it)
Why is the combination 666 on the briefcase? I think it's a SOUL in there and Marcellus is the Devil with 666 underneath that band-aid that's why Jules decides to change the right for the wrong and survives while Vince dies 'by the sword'
Favorite moment of the film: The way Jules eyes go 'dead' when he is "washing down" the burger. As he drinks, all the light goes out of his eyes. Spooky.
I remember when this flick came out and my English teacher said it was the biggest piece of garbage she ever laid eyes on. She also said that Tarantino was a hack and would never amount to anything. Fast forward twenty years and she's probably still working in education at Roane County High....and Tarantino is a millionaire.
If I were to pick my favorite Tarentino film I'd have to say Django. That was well written, well directed and well acted. Kill Bill series was enjoyable, too, but no where near the level of Django.
Tommy A You need to pay respect to that guy. No Trantino no Pulp Fiction. NinjaNezumi get out of here sit in a corner and say 'I am an idiot" until you lose energy and pass out.
Niko Dejarme pawn shops often have a least one sword somewhere dude. Merely coincidence. I think it was a connection in Tarantino's head when he did kill bill however.
That was the prevalent theory until Kill Bill pt2 came out and ruined that theory by revealing Budd wasn't as careless as he wanted people to think. Rewatching the two films, I came to realize that Kill Bill is really about wannabe ninjas, who actually never achieve nearly as high accolades as they think they did. They are nowhere near the masters they portray themselves as being. And Budd, out of all of them, manages to be the most ninja-like, as he is the only one who can move unseen, the only one that can blend in and take others by surprise. Because he made the others believe he had given up. The others? They knew as soon as they saw each other, but Budd? He could walk right up to their faces and they didn't react at all.
I remember a few years ago in church I saw my dad looking through the bible during the sermon, and saw it opened to Ezekiel and broke out laughing in the middle of the silent church.
Another fact on Travolta: Quentin was originally considering him for "From Dusk Till Dawn," and originally wanted Michael Madsen in "Pulp Fiction." When Madsen wasn't available, and since Travolta wasn't much of a vampire fan, Quentin changed up parts of the script and gave Travolta the role that would be Vincent Vega.
I believe when butch is escaping from the fight you can hear on the radio someone speaking about the trophy for the twist contest and how it was stolen. This leads you to believe that Mia and Vince stole the trophy after losing the twist contest.
Jules was originally supposed to have a gigantic afro, but stylist obtained a variety of afro wigs, and one jheri curl wig. Samuel L. Jackson tried jheri curl wig on and Tarantino liked it, so it was kept.
- The diner manager is listed in the credits as just "Coffee Shop", since his line is "I'm am just a coffee shop-" before getting interrupted. - When Vincent buys the heroine from Lance, Lance is out of balloons and asks if a baggie is alright. Common drug practice is you store your heroine in balloons, and cocaine in baggies. This is why a seasoned druggy like Mia ODs. She finds the baggie and assumes it's coke, her drug of choice, rather than heroine.
A great film for this series would be Casino. Here's an example tidbit. Smoking characters is difficult to film for continuity because the cigarette burns fast so the ash will jump around between shots. Since DeNiro's character smokes almost continuously this would be a major issue except that DeNiro actually holds the cigarette so that the distance between his finger and the ash is always the same, a clever trick that creates seamless continuity.
I bet QT's gonna pull some bullshit after his tenth film like "Yeah, the briefcase had a world-changing thing in it that explains the entire Tarantino Universe with perfect continuity."
Steven he’s only made 9... 1) Reservoir Dogs. 2) Pulp Fiction. 3) Jackie Brown. 4) Kill Bill (QT himself had said both volume one and two count as one film). 5) Death Proof. 6) Inglorious Basterds. 7) Django Unchained. 8) The Hateful Eight. 9) Once Upon A Time In Hollywood... how is that “way more than 10”...
The original script said that the briefcase had the diamonds in it from the heist in Reservoir Dogs which makes sense because Michael Madsen, who played Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs, is Vincent Vega's brother, Vic Vega.
How'd it work out for you? Mine faded after a couple of months and I'm not sure I could really pull it off. I'd get one that said "Please don't shoot me in the dick" instead should the opportunity arise.
Mines pretty good thus far, when I got it the embroidery had a few loose threads but overall it's still really good, no complaints for me David Vinton
On the 2nd time i watched Pulp Fiction i opened the Bible to read that monologue i was kinda like "The path of the wait wait Ezequiel 25, ok, 17, huh, wtf is going on this ain't being the stuff nigga is saying dafuq man" xD
ExclusiveFOETV according to Roger Avary, the co-writer of the Pulp Fiction script, the briefcase was full of Diamonds. They changed it because diamonds were the MacGuffin in Tarantino's earlier movie, so they decided to just _not_ show them, since they couldn't come up with anything better.
Actually, the parts of Jules's Ezekiel 25:17 reference that are from a movie called The Bodyguard starring Sonny Chiba, they are written in screen and apparently also voice over read by the actor at the same durring intro of the movie
Impressive. Head of security where I bartended had the monologue as his vmail. He was always carring; big scary black man who you def did not want to be enemies with; *i was quite grateful he had my back*; definitely maybe surely committed righteous murder; and was indeed a BADmotherFUCKER He hardly ever had to, but he was fast AF and the one time I really needed him, I saw him throw a grown man UP a flight of stairs. *we were sub street level club* Shout out to SKIP!
I get that the case is supposed to be "Whatever you want", but other than the glow, to me the one 'clue' to what it could be, is the way that Vincent stares hypnotized at it, saying "Is this what I think it is? It's...beautiful", to the point where Jules has to yell at him a few times to snap him out of it. I always thought it was some kind of high-end super dangerous weapon, like a nuclear device, something you know exists but have never actually seen in person and held in your hands...
You mentioned that the quote Jules says isn't from the bible but Tarantino didn't come up with it, it's from the opening of the American release of a 70's martial arts film staring Sonny Chiba called the Karate Kiba, known in the states as the Bodyguard. You can find the film, it's trailer, and the quote itself right here on RUclips. Tarantino would later work with Sonny China in Kill Bill, Chiba played Hatario Hanzo. You guys might want to dig just a little deeper when looking for trivia
GT Dusty how can people still think it's marsellus's soul? they always give the example of the band aid on his neck being where it was taken from but the band aid was the actor's thing not the characters thing.. all of what this video says is under the trivia of imdb. but why would it be marcellus' soul? that idea is dumb. the briefcase simple serves as a macguffin.. it doesn't matter what's in it, it drives most of the plot. and that s why tarrantino says it can be whatever the view wants i guess.. cause it's nothing.
jonesherself You just gave the exact reason why there's no reason it CAN'T be his soul (it doesn't matter anyway, and Tarantino said what was in the briefcase is whatever you want to be in there). As an aside, you seem to care an awful lot about his soul not being in there.
After 2 hours procrastinating on this channel I decided this was the video to comment how great this channel is compared to other movie based channels. I love it!
The Line" Oh Man I shot Marvin in the face" was actually an Idea of Jhon Travolta and Aked Tarantino If he could add it to the scene. to which Tarantino agreed and replied to him "I didn't know I was making a comedy"
here's a fact you didn't know (probably) during the starting credits the song changes from Misilrou to Jungle Boogie exactly when the credit for music supervisor appears.
Number 10. The phrase, "Bad Mother Fckr" was written on the purple lightsaber George Lucas gave SLJ when he played Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.
Pulp Fiction Trivia - The girl on the couch in the heart injection scene (Bronagh Gallagher) also played 'Bernie' in The Commitments, alongside Glen Hansard (who played 'Outspan Foster', the guitarist) who is also the lead singer of The Frames. She just happens to be wearing a t-shirt of The Frames. Coincidence? Probably not. They're very good friends, and Bronagh went on to support The Frames on tour years later!
The original script for the movie did say it was diamonds in the briefcae, but aparently they didn't want two movies with diamonds being a major prop (ie the little green bag from dogs)
got a fact for you, Fabienne (she s french in the movie) talks about moving to Borabora, but she doesnt know the local language and assumes it s the Boraborean. Actually the local language in Borabora is french.
MaxFrisch84 read the book. Whatever questions you have will probably be answered. Unless your questions are regarding stuff the author wants the reader to figure out for themselves.
Brandon Y This is one of those occasions where the answer is in the question, but...yeah, I thought it was whatever you wanted it to be, or whatever you thought it was.
Rodrik the Reader That's a bit rude, and not really true at all. Lots of parents assume that children should learn to grow up early and know about things in life so that they don't get affected by a lack of knowledge in the future. In the same way, other people like to shelter their children in an effort to let them learn about things throughout their whole life. Either way, it isn't necessarily 'degenerative' like you say it is. I recently watched the movie for the first time, and I'm 14. Maybe your parents should have taught you some manners, they seem to have not done a very good job.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, really that is saying a lot. I don't go to theaters or watch TV anymore, I will still search this one out and re-watch it.
Fun fact: My best friend was actually named after vincent. His dad watched pulp fiction with him and said, "You know, I named you Vincent because of him."
+Marques Martinez HAHA, nope, but similar. In Office Space the stairs ascend directly in front of Peter's door, and there's no gap between the two doors entering the apartments. That's why he says "Can you at least pretend we can't hear each other through the wall."
*What* does the briefcase contain? ^ | *WHAT* *what* aint no country i ever heard about, they speak english in *what* ? The briefcase contains *what* !!! I just closed the biggest theory about this movie!
ok...I've seen so many Pulp Fiction videos I thought I would know all on this list. Great video guys! I learned so much today sorry for doubting you! thumbs up!
Also, when Jules picks up the hamburger to eat it it is a full hamburger.. when he takes a bite, there is only a fraction of the burger left. That always stuck out to me like a sore thumb.
I forgot where it was mentioned... but the bullet holes in the wall that were already there were from the gun, just one night prior. The story I heard goes like this... the guy in the bathroom was gun happy and wanted the big revolver. "Marvin" who was already working for Wallace secretly, fired the bullets into the wall the night before and when he reloaded the gun, he put blanks in and gave the gun to the guy. It was Marvin who let the two in.... knowing full well that the only pistol in the apartment was loaded with blanks since he was the one who shot the wall. I can't remember where that was ever told but that was allegedly the story. It just wasn't filmed... but implied. Tarantino gets hammered for a blooper that wasn't really a blooper. Its just that Vince and Jules didn't notice the bullet holes until after the guy fired (off the blanks).
d0nKsTaH I have one problem with this theory, one does not simply fire a revolver into the wall with no reproductions. Guns are loud, bullets go through crappy walls, people have phones and can call the police. It is very unlike terrintino to make that kind of mistake though, so who knows? its not that big of a deal.
d0nKsTaH But Jules goes on and on talking to Vince about how divine intervention saved him while in the car ride, and Marvin´s sitting in the back... don´t you think he´d have said something about how HE saved Jules and Vince?
In the Faber version of the screenplay Jules shoots Honey Bunny and Pumpkin before shooting at the camera. Then it shows that this has been going through Jules' mind and the it continues as the film does with everyone still alive.
The scene where Marcellus sees Butch stopped at the crosswalk is an homage to the similar scene in Psycho were Marion Crane's boss sees her stopped at a crosswalk in her car.
The devil takes a person's soul from the back of the head/neck? I tried searching for it, and it seems that this idea originated with... theories about Pulp Fiction. Is there any previous account of this? Or did people just invent the idea because of the movie?
I remember reading a theory about it being his soul in the briefcase, and the reason for it is there's a belief in China (If I recall correctly) that the soul can be removed from the back of the neck/head. I couldn't find anything confirming this, but it is a neat idea.
I was in a hot tub the week the film opened, with a guy and a girl who had also just seen the movie. I brought up the philosophical question from the movie of whether a foot rub is sexual, while sneakily taking the girl's foot in my hands and rubbing it. She showed up the next morning at my front door. We made it just far enough inside to shut the door behind us, and banged one out on the tile in the entry way.
I think it was marselluses soul in the brief case cause they say you can take out the soul from the back of the head and that explains the band aid (even tho bandate doesnt mean anything) i like to think that and after in the hillbilly part you see the soul got returned and thats why the band aid was off :) what do you think it was let me know in the replies
your theory doesntmake sense because the bandaid IS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT. its just a happy accident that it coincidentally matches the description of how a soul is gathered. for it to make sense in this theory it would have needed to be purposeful... since it was not, its only coincidental. In fact, if you actually read his script.... it says its diamonds. There was just another recent "diamond" film so they made it so it could be anything.
Idk what it is, always thought it was gold in the briefcase, but when they open it, showed it to the restaurant robber, he was like mesmerized by it, saying ''is that what i really think it is?"
The original box DVD of Pulp Fiction contains a complete menu for Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant. It makes the DVD a collector's item. I still have mine! Also, contrary to Quentin's intention, I always watch Pulp Fiction in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, where after Brad gets gunned down, I skip to the scene later where his friend is about to charge out the bathroom, then watch to the end, then before the credits start, switch to the meeting of Butch and Marcellus. And yes, I try to squeeze Yolanda and her Ringo man in there somewhere.
That's just retarded. That's not how it happened. The device of storytelling allows for non linear advancement to the viewer, but the fictional characters are just that Fictional. The accounting of the story to us is enhanced, maybe cringes upon the delivery. I'm not sure what the hell made you do that but it's hardly something to brag about. I would hate to have spaghetti at your house. We boil it first.
I think the briefcase contains a royalle with cheese
Lmao
Had one of the last time I went to McDonald's in Umeå, Sweden, lol ^^
Though, we call them Quarter Pounder with cheese just like you guys in the US.
Hmm, här säger vi bara 150grammare, antar att det är samma sak?

Nä, det stämmer inte. En QP motsvarar ca. 115 gram. ;)
Aha okej :P
Every time Vincent goes to the bathroom something goes wrong.
Víctor Garcia not EVERY time. Go watch it again.
EVERY time Vincent takes a piss or shit something bad happens dude.
1. Mia OD's on coke
2. The coffee shop robbery
3. Bruce Willis kills him
The only time something bad didn't happen was when he was washing his hands at Jimmy's house but all he did was wash his hands
JakeRK what about when he went to the toilet at jack rabbit slims?
Sherwaine TV he didn't, she did
nah I don't believe that - I definitely heard him flush
I just presumed the briefcase was full of gold bars, because of the glow the light bulb emitted on Vincent face haha
Same here Bubbs
ElBrillante4 Agreed.
Impossible, a briefcase of the size used in the movie full of gold would have to weigh about 600lbs/300kg
I thought so too, until I noticed that he seemed to be carrying it around a little too easily, as if it was pretty lightweight. Gold bars would only make sense if it was depicted as being really heavy.
Very true, i didn't take that into account! Knowing Tarantino he probably didn't know what was in the briefcase himself!

Resh Mant no...?
If I remember correctly, everytime Vincent went to the bathroom, something bad happened.
PerfectTube12 true
PerfectTube12 YES!!! I said that to myself too!! Mia's Overdose! Diner standoff! And then getting killed.
Actually every time he goes to the toilet something bad happens. He went to Jimmy’s bathroom to wash his hands and nothing bad immediately followed.
Yep correct! It comes from his heroin addiction. One of the side effects is constipation!
Cracked has an after hours video where they make this point.
The famous dancing scene between John Travolta and Uma Thurman was shot in 1 take...Uma was so excited to dance with John but bummed that they got it right the first time.

but when Travolta and Wifey come back home from the night out she holds the trophy
@@betty3910 cuz they stole it as the radio says

FatMat426 that's a really good one! thanks guys!
That's ruined that.
Spoiler much?
AnyBodyWannaPeanut Yep. Feeling the same as you right now. Still haven't watched the movie. Maybe I can erase what I just saw from my mind somehow...
I always thought that the diamonds from reservoir dogs were in the briefcase
When Joe is taking to Mr white he mentions a Marcellus spivel maybe a connection? definitely with Vic and Vincent though
Technically they are, but tarantino thought it was lame and changed it to be ambiguous
Ding..ding...ding...WINNER!!!
The dead body dummy is one of the best dead body dummy's I've seen.
The shot of Vince stabbing Mia with the adrenaline shot was filmed by having John Travolta pull a dummy syringe out and then reversing the footage.
That's was probably a good idea.
Tenet was here back in 94.
Apparently that's not actually true. They tried filming it that way, but it didn't look quite right, so in the film they used the footage of Travolta doing it the normal way.

Yea I always thought it was gold too

I'm glad you did't mention the same old facts like "Vincent Vega and Mr. Blonde" are brothers :P
been there known that :P
REALLY????
Too bad that "Brother's Vega' movie never happened. That could have been awesome.
Jkroger100 That's a great idea. They could still do it as a sort of prequel.
Mark O'Donnell Actually, it was canceled because Michael Madsen (Blonde) and John Travolta (Vincent) where too old for the role
When Arquette comes out of the bathroom firing his 'hand cannon', he looks just like Jerry Seinfeld.
Goondock Saints yes, the first time i saw the movie, I though it was him
who is now dead
Favorite moment of the film: The way Jules eyes go 'dead' when he is "washing down" the burger.
As he drinks, all the light goes out of his eyes. Spooky.
I read somewhere the Sam L. was looking out of a window at a distant billboard to get that 'look' in his eyes.
That really was intimidating
i always thought it was gold
Me too !!
it is gold
***** no Tarantino said it is whatever we want it to be so if somebody wanted it to be a stack of porn than that is what it is to them
AFinleyProductions but you wanted it to be gold right? so by that logic it is gold
***** yes i am just saying that it is what the viewer wants to to be but logically and by the look on Tim Roths face i always thought Gold or Diamonds
I remember when this flick came out and my English teacher said it was the biggest piece of garbage she ever laid eyes on. She also said that Tarantino was a hack and would never amount to anything.
Fast forward twenty years and she's probably still working in education at Roane County High....and Tarantino is a millionaire.
He is a hack, but Pulp was a good movie because of the actors not the story.
Honestly, Pulp Fiction isn't that well written, and I can understand why people dislike it.

I believe when butch is escaping from the fight you can hear on the radio someone speaking about the trophy for the twist contest and how it was stolen. This leads you to believe that Mia and Vince stole the trophy after losing the twist contest.
Jules was originally supposed to have a gigantic afro, but stylist obtained a variety of afro wigs, and one jheri curl wig. Samuel L. Jackson tried jheri curl wig on and Tarantino liked it, so it was kept.
It was Travolta who suggested the change in the sequence where Marvin is shot. What a great actor!
- The diner manager is listed in the credits as just "Coffee Shop", since his line is "I'm am just a coffee shop-" before getting interrupted.
- When Vincent buys the heroine from Lance, Lance is out of balloons and asks if a baggie is alright. Common drug practice is you store your heroine in balloons, and cocaine in baggies. This is why a seasoned druggy like Mia ODs. She finds the baggie and assumes it's coke, her drug of choice, rather than heroine.
*heroin. A heroine is a female hero.
This film is a masterpiece. I know it’s been said sooo many times, but I can’t help but say that. I love this film.
A great film for this series would be Casino. Here's an example tidbit. Smoking characters is difficult to film for continuity because the cigarette burns fast so the ash will jump around between shots. Since DeNiro's character smokes almost continuously this would be a major issue except that DeNiro actually holds the cigarette so that the distance between his finger and the ash is always the same, a clever trick that creates seamless continuity.
I bet QT's gonna pull some bullshit after his tenth film like "Yeah, the briefcase had a world-changing thing in it that explains the entire Tarantino Universe with perfect continuity."
he has already made way more than 10 films
Steven he’s only made 9... 1) Reservoir Dogs. 2) Pulp Fiction. 3) Jackie Brown. 4) Kill Bill (QT himself had said both volume one and two count as one film). 5) Death Proof. 6) Inglorious Basterds. 7) Django Unchained. 8) The Hateful Eight. 9) Once Upon A Time In Hollywood... how is that “way more than 10”...
@@southpark645 EXACTLY
The original script said that the briefcase had the diamonds in it from the heist in Reservoir Dogs which makes sense because Michael Madsen, who played Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs, is Vincent Vega's brother, Vic Vega.
I forgot the Vega connection
I don't need you to tell me how good my coffee is, Jules.
Great. Just when I managed to suppress my memories of that JPIII talking dinosaur, you had to go and remind me....
Great trivia, though!
he'll never leave you, he'll always live in your dreams!
CineFix LOL...WHY?!!!! WHY....!?!!!
Even more interesting tidbits for #2, Tarantino confirmed that it was Butch who keyed Vincent's Malibu - which happened after Butch left the bar.
I had to go out and buy the 'Bad Mother Fucker' wallet
I ordered one yesterday
How'd it work out for you? Mine faded after a couple of months and I'm not sure I could really pull it off. I'd get one that said "Please don't shoot me in the dick" instead should the opportunity arise.
Mines pretty good thus far, when I got it the embroidery had a few loose threads but overall it's still really good, no complaints for me David Vinton
LOVED this movie, still do. It was one of the first I’d seen with multiple story lines that intersect in some way later on.
On the 2nd time i watched Pulp Fiction i opened the Bible to read that monologue i was kinda like "The path of the wait wait Ezequiel 25, ok, 17, huh, wtf is going on this ain't being the stuff nigga is saying dafuq man" xD
If it's anything in that briefcase. I want it to be that drug from limitless!
Ok
ExclusiveFOETV
Excellent response! I want that pill!!
Damian Begley right. That pill was the shyt. Kinda trippy too
ExclusiveFOETV according to Roger Avary, the co-writer of the Pulp Fiction script, the briefcase was full of Diamonds.
They changed it because diamonds were the MacGuffin in Tarantino's earlier movie, so they decided to just _not_ show them, since they couldn't come up with anything better.
More like this! I'd love to see Fight Club!
Actually, the parts of Jules's Ezekiel 25:17 reference that are from a movie called The Bodyguard starring Sonny Chiba, they are written in screen and apparently also voice over read by the actor at the same durring intro of the movie
Every clock in Pulp Fiction is set to 420
No way tell me some scenes with a clock in it
That's not true look at the clock in the background during the "dead nigga storage" scene
+FromCrownToKingdom Yeah I know that's what I meant when I said to look at that scene
Blaze it
+Elrid That's not true. I watched PF about 3 hours ago. I looked at all the clocks and absolutely none of them are set to 420! You're wrong mate!
So you bleep the word fuck, then a second later you actually show the word zoomed in on the wallet?
And J.T says it when he shoots marvin
sex is "dirty" but killing, hard drugs,...
KingInky13 Well, Cinefix is family-friendly entertainment.
RawbThatPunk So then they should have censored the wallet.
RawbThatPunk Well, Pulp Fiction is not a family friendly movie in the first place, so I doubt children would watch this video.
I can recite the Ezekiel monologue in 3 languages. Am I a freak? Oh no ... Just a Tarantino Fan! : D
Good work, keep it up!
CERTIFICATE OF AWESOMENESS.
I can in two. English and Russian
Impressive.
Head of security where I bartended had the monologue as his vmail. He was always carring; big scary black man who you def did not want to be enemies with; *i was quite grateful he had my back*; definitely maybe surely committed righteous murder; and was indeed a BADmotherFUCKER
He hardly ever had to, but he was fast AF and the one time I really needed him, I saw him throw a grown man UP a flight of stairs. *we were sub street level club*
Shout out to SKIP!
I know the meaning of the bandage!
He's actually Morpheus hiding his socket thing!
I get that the case is supposed to be "Whatever you want", but other than the glow, to me the one 'clue' to what it could be, is the way that Vincent stares hypnotized at it, saying "Is this what I think it is? It's...beautiful", to the point where Jules has to yell at him a few times to snap him out of it. I always thought it was some kind of high-end super dangerous weapon, like a nuclear device, something you know exists but have never actually seen in person and held in your hands...
I'm 100% positive that the gun sound effect at 3:11 is the barrett 50 cal from Modern Warfare 2... anyone else hearing it?
Just watched the movie for the first time. Took notice straight away. Surprisingly.
How is that possible? In what Universe do you live? ;-)
Robert me I watched it for the first time about 3 weeks ago.
You mentioned that the quote Jules says isn't from the bible but Tarantino didn't come up with it, it's from the opening of the American release of a 70's martial arts film staring Sonny Chiba called the Karate Kiba, known in the states as the Bodyguard. You can find the film, it's trailer, and the quote itself right here on RUclips. Tarantino would later work with Sonny China in Kill Bill, Chiba played Hatario Hanzo. You guys might want to dig just a little deeper when looking for trivia
Was the code on the breifcase at 1:50 666
it did
Yes it was, this adds to the theory that Marsellus's soul was in there. Since the number 666 is normally affiliated with the devil
GT Dusty how can people still think it's marsellus's soul? they always give the example of the band aid on his neck being where it was taken from but the band aid was the actor's thing not the characters thing.. all of what this video says is under the trivia of imdb. but why would it be marcellus' soul? that idea is dumb. the briefcase simple serves as a macguffin.. it doesn't matter what's in it, it drives most of the plot. and that s why tarrantino says it can be whatever the view wants i guess.. cause it's nothing.
jonesherself
GT Dusty The code to the alarm in Mia Wallace's place is also 666
jonesherself
You just gave the exact reason why there's no reason it CAN'T be his soul (it doesn't matter anyway, and Tarantino said what was in the briefcase is whatever you want to be in there). As an aside, you seem to care an awful lot about his soul not being in there.
After 2 hours procrastinating on this channel I decided this was the video to comment how great this channel is compared to other movie based channels. I love it!
The Line" Oh Man I shot Marvin in the face" was actually an Idea of Jhon Travolta and Aked Tarantino If he could add it to the scene. to which Tarantino agreed and replied to him "I didn't know I was making a comedy"
here's a fact you didn't know (probably) during the starting credits the song changes from Misilrou to Jungle Boogie exactly when the credit for music supervisor appears.
Thank you,
Was this comment a joke mocking the obvious nature of some of the facts in this video?
I think they missed my favorite one about her story of the foxy five becoming the kill bill series.
That's a good one, def worthy of a quick footnote at least
Number 10. The phrase, "Bad Mother Fckr" was written on the purple lightsaber George Lucas gave SLJ when he played Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.
3:43 Plot twist: Those are inverted bullets..
it only makes more sense considering the fact that the scene played in rewind
Pulp Fiction Trivia - The girl on the couch in the heart injection scene (Bronagh Gallagher) also played 'Bernie' in The Commitments, alongside Glen Hansard (who played 'Outspan Foster', the guitarist) who is also the lead singer of The Frames. She just happens to be wearing a t-shirt of The Frames. Coincidence? Probably not. They're very good friends, and Bronagh went on to support The Frames on tour years later!
The original script for the movie did say it was diamonds in the briefcae, but aparently they didn't want two movies with diamonds being a major prop (ie the little green bag from dogs)
got a fact for you, Fabienne (she s french in the movie) talks about moving to Borabora, but she doesnt know the local language and assumes it s the Boraborean. Actually the local language in Borabora is french.
ha! good one!
i cheated, it was on the french dvd factoids :p
I think I remember reading someplace that the actress actually speaks Spanish, too.
yes she does. but i was mentioning the character not the actress.
Al L Portuguese is her native language, actually.
The briefcase contains Quentin Tarantino‘s N-word pass.
"let's move on before I get depressed." this is by far the best commentary on Pulp Fiction.. I learnt 9 new things.. have you done Reservoir Dogs?
This is the first time Ive ever seen a "things you didnt know" video that actually had things I didnt know. Im impressed. Good work.
Fight Club Facts, please!
MaxFrisch84 read the book. Whatever questions you have will probably be answered. Unless your questions are regarding stuff the author wants the reader to figure out for themselves.
I can't believe the 12 year old me was actually right about the briefcase :)
Right about what? It's anything
Brandon Y
This is one of those occasions where the answer is in the question, but...yeah, I thought it was whatever you wanted it to be, or whatever you thought it was.
>Watching this movie when only 12
Your parents must be degenerates.
Rodrik the Reader That's a bit rude, and not really true at all. Lots of parents assume that children should learn to grow up early and know about things in life so that they don't get affected by a lack of knowledge in the future. In the same way, other people like to shelter their children in an effort to let them learn about things throughout their whole life. Either way, it isn't necessarily 'degenerative' like you say it is. I recently watched the movie for the first time, and I'm 14. Maybe your parents should have taught you some manners, they seem to have not done a very good job.
Instahswap
Good comment dude. But you really shouldn't feed the trolls. Especially the retarded ones.
I still wanna know the relationship between Vincent and Vic Vega from Reservoir Dogs
john gleason They're brothers.
There was a planned prequel about the two and their crimes before their respective films.
john gleason They were planning on making a movie about both of them. Shame it never happened.
Yo Dawg44 where did you get that fantasy from?
brothers
This is one of my all time favorite movies, really that is saying a lot. I don't go to theaters or watch TV anymore, I will still search this one out and re-watch it.
Fun fact: My best friend was actually named after vincent. His dad watched pulp fiction with him and said, "You know, I named you Vincent because of him."
@4:15, Peter's apartment from Office Space?
+Marques Martinez HAHA, nope, but similar. In Office Space the stairs ascend directly in front of Peter's door, and there's no gap between the two doors entering the apartments. That's why he says "Can you at least pretend we can't hear each other through the wall."
*What* does the briefcase contain?
^
|
*WHAT*
*what* aint no country i ever heard about, they speak english in *what* ?
The briefcase contains *what* !!!
I just closed the biggest theory about this movie!
ok...I've seen so many Pulp Fiction videos I thought I would know all on this list. Great video guys! I learned so much today sorry for doubting you! thumbs up!
Also, when Jules picks up the hamburger to eat it it is a full hamburger.. when he takes a bite, there is only a fraction of the burger left. That always stuck out to me like a sore thumb.
the ad for this video was 30 seconds, I had the choice to skip it, but I didn't, that puppy was too adorable
Hillary's emails are in the case (I'm sorry, I couldn't help it)
I forgot where it was mentioned... but the bullet holes in the wall that were already there were from the gun, just one night prior.
The story I heard goes like this... the guy in the bathroom was gun happy and wanted the big revolver. "Marvin" who was already working for Wallace secretly, fired the bullets into the wall the night before and when he reloaded the gun, he put blanks in and gave the gun to the guy.
It was Marvin who let the two in.... knowing full well that the only pistol in the apartment was loaded with blanks since he was the one who shot the wall.
I can't remember where that was ever told but that was allegedly the story. It just wasn't filmed... but implied.
Tarantino gets hammered for a blooper that wasn't really a blooper. Its just that Vince and Jules didn't notice the bullet holes until after the guy fired (off the blanks).
d0nKsTaH great theory
d0nKsTaH I have one problem with this theory, one does not simply fire a revolver into the wall with no reproductions. Guns are loud, bullets go through crappy walls, people have phones and can call the police. It is very unlike terrintino to make that kind of mistake though, so who knows? its not that big of a deal.
d0nKsTaH But Jules goes on and on talking to Vince about how divine intervention saved him while in the car ride, and Marvin´s sitting in the back... don´t you think he´d have said something about how HE saved Jules and Vince?
In the Faber version of the screenplay Jules shoots Honey Bunny and Pumpkin before shooting at the camera. Then it shows that this has been going through Jules' mind and the it continues as the film does with everyone still alive.
The scene where Marcellus sees Butch stopped at the crosswalk is an homage to the similar scene in Psycho were Marion Crane's boss sees her stopped at a crosswalk in her car.
Tarantinos 3 best
1.Pulp Fiction
2.Reservoir Dogs
3.Kill Bill: Vol. 1 And 2
mrkhamaileon
That's four.
mrkhamaileon Django ?
I heard that Tarantino asked Kurt Cobain to play the heroin dealer,don't if that is true but. . .
tchaco lynma I think it is. I heard that too.
The devil takes a person's soul from the back of the head/neck? I tried searching for it, and it seems that this idea originated with... theories about Pulp Fiction. Is there any previous account of this? Or did people just invent the idea because of the movie?
the movie
ghuegel Actually, he sucks it out of the nose of the victim.
Traci Rowland You mean the "actual" devil does that? I don't know what that means.
ghuegel
it alse claims to be his soul since the code on the briefcase is 666 which is the mark of the beast
I remember reading a theory about it being his soul in the briefcase, and the reason for it is there's a belief in China (If I recall correctly) that the soul can be removed from the back of the neck/head. I couldn't find anything confirming this, but it is a neat idea.
I loved pulp fiction so much
Truly an enjoyable experience watching that... Brings laughter out so easily. Well done mate.
Holy shit, Phil LaMarr?! He voices Vamp in the Metal Gear Solid games!
And Futurama!
And Green Lantern John Stewart in the old justice league animated show
***** I just didn't know that was him in Pulp Fiction, lol.
I noticed the bullet holes the first time I watched the movie
I was in a hot tub the week the film opened, with a guy and a girl who had also just seen the movie. I brought up the philosophical question from the movie of whether a foot rub is sexual, while sneakily taking the girl's foot in my hands and rubbing it. She showed up the next morning at my front door. We made it just far enough inside to shut the door behind us, and banged one out on the tile in the entry way.
Man, that's super smooth.
This video is perfect, just perfect. It´s like it knows my needs....
if you look closely on the very first scene in the diner, you see vince and jules leaving through the door in the background.
that's perfection :)
What charges do u have against you
we could tell you, but then we'd have to delete you
CineFix Oh that bad huh
I think it was marselluses soul in the brief case cause they say you can take out the soul from the back of the head and that explains the band aid (even tho bandate doesnt mean anything) i like to think that and after in the hillbilly part you see the soul got returned and thats why the band aid was off :) what do you think it was let me know in the replies
I always thought it was an Oscar in the brief case. Didn't it win best movie?
i actually thought it was gold bars but your theory makes a lot more sense cause the combination to the briefcase was 666.
arthur roberts It won Best Original Screenplay. Forrest Gump won Best Picture that year.
your theory doesntmake sense because the bandaid IS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT. its just a happy accident that it coincidentally matches the description of how a soul is gathered. for it to make sense in this theory it would have needed to be purposeful... since it was not, its only coincidental.
In fact, if you actually read his script.... it says its diamonds. There was just another recent "diamond" film so they made it so it could be anything.
Idk what it is, always thought it was gold in the briefcase, but when they open it, showed it to the restaurant robber, he was like mesmerized by it, saying ''is that what i really think it is?"
It's just called a VIN not a "VIN number".
Yeah, "VIN number" would mean "Vehicle Identification Number number". :P
R.I.P. in peace
John Dukehart That would be known as a Pleonasm
like when people say ATM machine or PIN number. So annoying.
doowopfan does it really annoy you that much? cuz ur annoying. lol just jk
There is a restaurant in Boston called "Tasty Burger" that is based solely on Jules's lines from that legendary burger scene.
I'm not sure how u back up all ur info but I'm quite entertained nonetheless...so I'm subscribing. Thanks!
The original box DVD of Pulp Fiction contains a complete menu for Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant. It makes the DVD a collector's item. I still have mine! Also, contrary to Quentin's intention, I always watch Pulp Fiction in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, where after Brad gets gunned down, I skip to the scene later where his friend is about to charge out the bathroom, then watch to the end, then before the credits start, switch to the meeting of Butch and Marcellus. And yes, I try to squeeze Yolanda and her Ringo man in there somewhere.
nice nice.. I've done the same thing, although I tediously figured out the chronological order and programmed the dvd chapters to play in that order
That's just retarded. That's not how it happened. The device of storytelling allows for non linear advancement to the viewer, but the fictional characters are just that Fictional. The accounting of the story to us is enhanced, maybe cringes upon the delivery. I'm not sure what the hell made you do that but it's hardly something to brag about. I would hate to have spaghetti at your house. We boil it first.
Gala, what you just said doesn't make any sense! Care to rephrase that?
hal, what he said was WATCH THE MOVIE THE WAY IT WAS SET UP!
MsPurpleStuff No, I refuse to.
