It makes sense but it’s kinda boring. I think the soul theory makes the most sense cuz of the themes of divine intervention and other religious undertones.
It's implied that it's gold in the movie I didn't ever think it was even up for debate... why else would they have it shine gold color when they open it.. yea it could be somthing made of gold like Elvis suit but at the end of the day it's gold...
#1 yall know how heavy gold just 1 bar of gold like you see on TV would weigh like 40-50 lbs so that brief case would weight like 100lbs with 2 bars an no one is walking around with 100lbs nobody!! #2 if it was gold there no way all3 of those guys in the apt are just all chill an not trying to get some of that gold for them selfs think about this 3 junkies ,we presume , with lets say 100k of gold locked in the same apt as me ??? Im trying to chip some gold off the bottom at least !! An i know ALL YALL WOULD ALSO !!
Gold is TOO HEAVY !! that much gold to shine that much would weigh at least 100 lbs so i dont see anyone lifting an walking around looking like they got 100lbs under they arm
That’s just the theory stupid people can’t get rid off, the actor’s scar is actually real due to an issue and he didn’t want the scar to be on-screen. Plus if we actually go with that Tarantino Wanted to do those are the diamonds from reservoir dogs. (Production things and ideas left that idea behind) but it’s kind of implied.
@@TotallyNotKanye it would low key make sense. I mean it takes place in the same universe as from dusk till dawn and there are literal vampires from hell so how would it be so stupid for it to be his soul?
@@TotallyNotKanye I never said I agreed I could honestly care less I'm just saying it's a fun and plausible theory and not stupid by any means just a lil wacky
Since Tarantino said it could be anything we wish, that Elvis suit was a good ass theory, or gold taken from somewhere it was not supposed to be taken from
It's heroin. That's why Vince is in awe with it, same with Ringo and Honey bunny. Also, when they originally get the case, Jules asks the clearly high dude on the couch "Flock of seagulls, tell my partner where you got your shit". Easy. Clear cut.
@@bootsthecat6718 tarantino likes making long winded backstories for his characters even if they arent told on screen. He mostly makes them for himself.
Whatever was in the suitcase that's what you to believe it is but Marcella Wallace Band-Aid on his neck was due to he was shaving and nicked itself and he had to wear a Band-Aid and they kept it in the movie.
The code and the way everyone reacted to it always made me feel like it was supernatural, everyone who sees it is stunned, and I don't think any typical item of value would elicit that kind of reaction, if it was diamonds, someone would have inspected them to make sure they weren't swapped out, gold is too heavy, and Elvis's suit wouldn't stun people into silence, and whatever it is is always referred to as "it", kind of insinuating that "it" doesn't have a name or label, but is recognized and known about by the characters.
I think Elvis’ golden suit fits perfectly. It would have to be valuable enough to give a surprised reaction to Vincent and Tim Roth but not as valuable to just entrust to 3 random 20 something’s. A piece of sought after memorabilia would fit that perfectly IMO.
Yep, I read an interview with Quinten back in the 90s. He said it was a couple of batteries, some wires, and a light bulb. Essentially, it could be whatever you think the character who's opening it wants it to be. My theory is.... Ringo= money or diamonds. Vincent= heroin.
There was a lamp in the briefcase and the bandage on marsellus wallace neck was to cover a razor cut, and Quinten tarentino wanted it in the movie, also fun fact, marvin was first casted for the role of marsellus, but he couldnt agree on the rape scene so they gave it to rhymes
If anyone didn't know, Tarantino did this on purpose so the audience can imagine for themselves what they think is in the briefcase. Tarantino said himself even he doesn't know what's in there .
Tarantino said that he has official lore for what was in the briefcase. He told the actors so that they could act accordingly. But he thinks the movie is better if the viewer decides what’s in the case
I thought of this . A friend of mine I once knew was in the vintage comic book , paperback business . He came upon a collection of vintage pulp fiction books from the 30s . Because of paper drives from the World War these were scarce . Many of them were very valuable . Even back then in the 70s when he found them . I say Marsellus was a comic book geek and he collected those as investments and for pleasure as a hobby . A Pulp Fiction book was in that briefcase . Those geeks stole it from him . Bad move !
In an interview Quentin Tarantino said he likes to leave it up to the viewer to guess what is in there because The viewer essentially makes their own movie by guessing …
The soul theory is the dumbest one. A/Ringo says "is that what I think it is?" - you think he'd recognize a soul? He'd been freaked. B/Ving Rhames cut himself shaving, that's why he had a bandaid on the back of his head. He was supposed to remove it before filming but QT thought it made him look more badass and opted for him to keep it. Total coincidence, nothing to do with the plot. The inside of the case has a yellowish glow. Either it's gold or it's diamonds with a goldish case interior underneath.
@Micah Dylan But when you realize that there's nothing in the movie implying any of the shit you just said, and that the soul theory has been more or less debunked by the director himself, it all becomes far-fetched fan fiction.
The robber in the clip says "is that what i think it is" and "Its beautifull" so we can seclude anything "very odvious" like money or jewlry. Beacuse it has to be something that intrigued the robber to question if it was real/authentic. Also it cant be gold beacuse that crap weights way too much. So more than likely its the kings suit, thats what id like to think.
It could be anything, some think it’s the gold diamonds from reservoir dogs and some think it’s marcellus Wallace’s soul, it’s just one of those mysteries that most likely won’t ever be solved
Whatever we want I guess as Tarintino himself admitted he didn't know and that it wasn't important... and also just a light bulb if you wanna be literal about it
The number to open the briefcase was 666 which is the number of the sun and the inside shines like the sun. It was the sun inside or gold which is the representation of the sun as a colour. btw. Apollo the sun god = Lucifer (the light bringer). That's the religious connection of this number.
If it was his soul in there, what are those kids doing with it? They obviously made some kind of deal with Marsellus that they didn't honor on their end. That's why Jules and Vincent are there to collect the briefcase. But what kind of a deal could be made that involves Marsellus giving a soul to some random kids?
Elvis wore a gold jacket in _True_ _Romance_ and we all know who wrote that particular ditty. A _suit_ wouldn't fit in a briefcase, but a _jacket_ ? Just maybe a jacket would... "We happy?" "Yeah, we happy."
I don't know what it is but I think I know what it does. I already told all of my friends about it and they are all sick of it because of how many times I repeated it.
its tarantino's N word pass
“Is that what I think it is?”
“Yup.”
“It’s beautiful.”
In my opinion one of the best comments ever typed on RUclips. 💯
This should be in the RUclips HALL OF FAME!!
and I'm black btw
Oh my God! 😂😂😂 He really needs that back
or Tarantino's wife's executive feet pics
Q: What was in the briefcase?
A: Two light bulbs and a battery.
Don't forget yellow bulbs 😜
It was actually one light bulb and two batteries
According to Jules, inside the briefcase is Marsellus Wallace's dirty laundry...
many meanings to that one.
That shit ain't the truth.
It’s the diamonds from Tarantino’s first film Reservoir Dogs.
It's just lamps:(
It makes sense but it’s kinda boring. I think the soul theory makes the most sense cuz of the themes of divine intervention and other religious undertones.
@@Thomas-br9ec he literally said it was just a badass thing to say before killing someone
Tarantino confirmed it was a soul
Nah it ain't, reseivor dogs was after pulp fiction lore wise.
its a light bulb duh
Smartass VietNamese x))
Wait... How did the Big Kahuna boys manage to get the soul from Satan??
I never thought about that
They might have been middle men, since they were getting hit for not handing over the case
According to Quentin, he said that it could be anything we wishes. Me personal think its gold
Because you want gold to be in it.

Gold is TOO HEAVY !! that much gold to shine that much would weigh at least 100 lbs so i dont see anyone lifting an walking around looking like they got 100lbs under they arm
@d9637 it's not implied it's said it can be anything we wish it is the shine Is just for dramatic effect
It's definitely Wiley's soul imo. Also, phenomenal editing as always!
Thanks!

The better theory is, that the briefcase is full of the diamants, which were stolen in Reservoir Dogs.
....... diamants???
It has to be something that most people can recognize since Pumpkin said “Is that what I think it is?” When Jules showed him
It IS what you think it is.
It can’t be a soul because Ringo has an awareness of what it is when he asks Jules is that what I think it is?
Since Tarantino said it could be anything we wish, that Elvis suit was a good ass theory, or gold taken from somewhere it was not supposed to be taken from
It's heroin. That's why Vince is in awe with it, same with Ringo and Honey bunny. Also, when they originally get the case, Jules asks the clearly high dude on the couch "Flock of seagulls, tell my partner where you got your shit". Easy. Clear cut.
This is the diamond briefchase from the Resevoir dogs heist. Vic and Vinsent Vega are brothers
I remember they were going to make a movie featuring those two.
This was always my favorite theory. I think it makes the most sense overall

Well I think this is as close as we are ever going to get to finding out what was in the briefcase.
It’s a Royale with cheese
it's the hidden triforce from Zelda 64🤣
Fun fact, the bandaid on marsellus's neck was there because Ving rhames cut himself while shaving 😁🤝
It’s a big kahuna burger royal with cheese.
It was gold bars.
that is more than coolest and deepest movie theory ive ever heard of
When I get my Pulp Fiction pinball machine this year, I'll be looking in that suitcase for the answer.
Redemption was in the suitcase...you never saw it because it's not tangible, but still very beautiful

This is easy it’s clearly the infinity gems…Explaining why this movie is a classic and will forever be talked about for ages 💎
It's Travolta's reciting hairline.
what a great fucking movie

it was marcellus's untouched sphincter
very valuable
Yes... the glowing light suggests that it is GOLD. Also... it has to be some kind of treasure... a sacred statue perhaps
Everyone knows it was the secret recipe for the Krabby Patty. Sheesh.
I love the soul theory personally
"Your boss makes you do his laundry? - When he wants it clean. - Sounds like shit job. - Funny, I was thinking the same thing."
I've wondered the same thing...
It's the Jewelry from Reservoir Dogs robbery
Well, the answer for what was there in the briefcase lies in a Kannada movie 'Ulidavaru Kandante'. I don't want to spoil. Please watch it.
And there was no way in hell that Jules was gonna hand it over to Ringo.
It’s gold
Diamonds from the Reservoir Dogs
It was the golden suit worn by Goldmember from Austin Powers
The robber in the clip says "is that what i think it is" and "Its beautifull" so we can seclude anything "very odvious" like money or jewlry. Beacuse it has to be something that intrigued the robber to question if it was real/authentic.
Also it cant be gold beacuse that crap weights way too much. So more than likely its the kings suit, thats what id like to think.
It's just an ordinary briefcase that has a light that actually works.
The greatest MCGUFFIN in movie HISTORY!!
Edit:
Its a mcgiffin with another mcguffin inside of it
Half-Life 3
It could be anything, some think it’s the gold diamonds from reservoir dogs and some think it’s marcellus Wallace’s soul, it’s just one of those mysteries that most likely won’t ever be solved
The robber at the diner knew what it was
Whatever we want I guess as Tarintino himself admitted he didn't know and that it wasn't important... and also just a light bulb if you wanna be literal about it
Holy shit it’s snowball Steven’s knee cap
A couple of lightbulbs
Whatever it is, Ringo identifies it as soon as he sees it.

I love the king, so I choose to believe it's his suit
I thought it was the diamonds from reservior dogs
The spear of destiny
By they way the moved it, it was too light to be gold.
It's a combination of Hitchcock and Aldrich theory
Soul
It was drugs, the light was just metaphor for high value.
Elvis wore a gold jacket in _True_ _Romance_ and we all know who wrote that particular ditty. A _suit_ wouldn't fit in a briefcase, but a _jacket_ ? Just maybe a jacket would...
"We happy?"
"Yeah, we happy."
It held a holy diver
Fancy diamond Yellow, for me
I actually love that theory
It's Krabby Patty secret formula.
in the briefcase was a golden light….
My favorite possibility is that its briefcase of cocaine from True Romance.
Uranium ingots. Potentially worth $millions on the black market.
It was a heating lamp from a fast food joint
its marcellus's childhood teddy bear
When they shot them dudes at the apartments little lights of gold shines I think there souls leaving there body like the light in the briefcase
I heard it could be the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs
Tarantino said it was Marcello's soul in an interview but the viewer didn't need to know to engage with it being valuable.
No, he never said that
Samuel L Jackson revealed the secret on a British talk show shortly after the movie came out, it was an orange lightbulb🍷
All of the above, it signifies evil. Money, drugs, whatever.
I just thought it was a bunch of gold
I don't know what it is but I think I know what it does. I already told all of my friends about it and they are all sick of it because of how many times I repeated it.
You're concerned about what was in the case... I'm more concerned about how did those 4 idiots in that apartment, got it in the first place.
This theory makes just as much sense as the movie
I like that theory
The thing that makes the most sense is it being his soul
I guarantee it’s an homage to Kiss me Deadly,, Like Kill Bill was to Lady Snowblood and others..
It’s a golden replica of the crime boss’s wife’s v
Marcelos Wallace’s soul
I love that we will never know
The diamonds from reservoir dogs
