In my 30’s now, grew up watching Grease as a kid before I ever watched Pulp Fiction. The weird part of the film was seeing him as a slightly overweight drug addicted gangster 😆
Quentin Tarantino “taught” Travolta that dance. QT had a very specific idea about how the two characters would dance the twist, one princess-style and one gangster hitman style. So he showed them what he wanted.

Pulp fiction is like if you take all the best, most fun, most off the fucking wall scenes from a bunch of movies and made that the whole film. Every scene is incredible. It never lets you get bored for a second.
Quentin's excitement shows his love and passion for good movies, good story telling. He cares about the audience being thrilled, seeing John Travolta dance again. ❤
Noticed the song playing in the background saying, "Goes to show, you never can tell;" And the way he dances as if he doesn't necessarily know how in this scene, is even MORE priceless. I love it. ❤️
A masterpiece of a movie . This is another movie from that era where the whole cast brought their A game .I am from the generation that grew up watching John dance . There was quite a few folks our age in the theatre and it happened the way Quentin described it . I remember the gentleman sitting directly in front of me looking over at his wife and going “Travolta is going to dance !”😂❤
I can’t even watch most of the movies that come out now that’s what happens when you’re raised by the greatest generation instead of your boomer parents. You become almost half boomer half millennial lol.
@@NAT20AshesI, a Gen X’er raised by my Boomer mother and for awhile her with her Silent Generation 2nd husband and sometimes by my Greatest Generation grandparents, maybe agree. ;)
This is exactly what i thought back then when i was in a small theater in south of France watching plup fiction. I was so thrilled seeing him dancing !
First time watching this I assumed they were gonna cut to the next scene of them having lost or won without ever showing the dancing itself so I was shocked
I’m too young to know that he was a dancer in the 80’s but when I saw this movie for the first time I knew there was something weirdly special about that scene and I couldn’t look away.
This movie is on my list of top 10 faves ever just for John’s entire character!! The dance, the moment he blows a kiss to Uma.. he is the definition of cool. This movie is iconic! And don’t get me started on Samuel L. Jackson’s character! 👏🏼👏🏼
That was certainly a nice cute bonus to what is absolutely one of the greatest films ever made. Thank you, Quentin Tarantino. You're amazing and (most of) your films are amazing.
Same! Tarantino knows exactly what he is doin g when he makes his movies. Or he did, I can't remember him doing a good one in a while, but his 90s movies are masterpieces.
The ONLY director? Where to start with this statement? I will start with I am sorry that you developed that terminal illness 1 minute after watching the last Tarantino movie and you had 1 day to live so you couldn’t fit in all the brilliant movies by brilliant directors with a perfect score.
You can still dance good John, I Really enjoyed the Movie Grease with you and Olivia Newton John.we need those kind of Movies and singing 🎶 in today world. God Bless you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John is a very sensitive artist ...camera loves his eyes, whole being, in Saturday Night Fever ...very unique artist ...congratulations John ...blessed artist 🎨
sometimes I dig his philosophizing about movies.. and then he'll diss the 50's and the 80's, and John Woo and Chow Yun Fat and you think "what the hell is WRONG with you?!"
I cant Dance ! Only thing Bout me is the way i walk!!! And talk😎 Just watched the movie for like 8-9 time… i stopped counting! But need it in my set!!! LOVE IT !!!! Sometimes i just need to lay back and just enjoy Epic movies!!! THX QT😋 Just Love that movie!!!
One of the best scenes in any movie I've ever seen simply based on the "I'm So Happy Right Now" Scale! Tarantino scored another one in "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" with Salma Hayek. Breathtaking!
even as a young teen, having only really seen Grease and other movies up to that point, I realized how cool this part was! grateful to have been a fan of Tarantino since I was a kid!
Pulp Fiction is what happens when you give the audience what they want.
The audience doesn't know what they want. You need to create it for them. If they don't like it then they'll move on. If they do it will be remembered and can last for many generations.
@@Michael_______ Audiences don’t know what they want? Think I know where you pulled that out of. All audiences know exactly what they want. No matter the genera, they want to be delighted!

@@murrynathanthe audience does not know what they want, that’s one of the most important rules of filmmaking.

He brushes off “then he takes off his shoes” so quickly, but I still just know that having feet out was nonnegotiable here
He brushes off John taking his shoes of because he's a man. Meanwhile Uma was already barefoot and he had his face buried in her shoes off camera.
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
@@smward87and thank the lord we were not subjected to Johns grippers.
My eyes remain untainted.
You People are more obsessed with thinking this dude has an obsession over feet than he probably ever had with feet in reality
As a person that watched pulp fiction way after its release date, I never realized how significant John Travolta's dancing was.
Worth knowing that it was a huge factor in the word of mouth of the movie. it spread like wildfire amongst the musical people and lots of other not-your-usual gangster movie fans. It really was quite the phenomenon, and locked in Travolta's A-list status for another 10 years.
Little known fact: the entire choreography of John Travolta and Uma Turman dance was entirely created by Tarantino.
In my 30’s now, grew up watching Grease as a kid before I ever watched Pulp Fiction. The weird part of the film was seeing him as a slightly overweight drug addicted gangster 😆
literally same, glad I found that out now
Younger folk might not know how us GenXers have grown up with Travolta. It all started with Welcome Back Cotter. He's our star.
Yes Travolta can really dance. He's been doing it for years, and not just for movies.
The dance also fits so perfectly with the character
Quentin Tarantino “taught” Travolta that dance. QT had a very specific idea about how the two characters would dance the twist, one princess-style and one gangster hitman style. So he showed them what he wanted.
Why?
@@timswabb it's a very generic dance..
@@ZeranZeran It’s not about the complexity of the dance, it’s about how it fit the character. That’s why I put “taught” in quotes.
@@timswabb I'm pretty sure Tarantino was even shocked that he began dancing, this was just him in the moment.
“I think it’s like a wax museum with a pulse.”
Great writing.
"We're lucky we got anything at all. I don't think Buddy Holly is much of a waiter."
That line always makes me chuckle
And Harvey Weinstein had the idea for opening a chain of Jackrabbit Slims restaurants for real - Tarantino had to talk him down.
@@Elitist20 Should've talked him down from some other things too.
Timeless classic. I've always loved the chemistry between Vincent and Jules.
John Travolta was amazing in that movie!
He added such a nostalgic element to it!
Love that guy
It was one of the most meta parts of any movie ever. Quentin used the fact that John Travolta the actor was mostly known for his dancing and used that as a 4th wall break and as a character itself. Amazing
How exactly is that a 4th wall break?
Sorry that’s not a fourth wall break
@@JohnSmith-mz2zo indirectly. It’s taking what is popularly know for the the actor themselves, not the character in the movie, and using that as a character in of itself. It was just missing a look to the camera and a wink from John Travolta.
@@burnerfromtheblocyes it is. A subtle one. Nuance, dear. Nuance.
Yeah and those moves he did were simple for him.
God I love his passion for cinema. Its really that drive that makes him one of the best director/writers ever
I love how excited Tarrantino gets.
I love how you synced Tarantino's clap with Travolta's clap near the end, neat editing
That's exactly how it was. The theater cheered and clapped!
One of the coolest most iconic movies ever made. My friends and I couldn't wait to see it because all the buzz was that it was going to be different from any other movie ever made and it totally was.
it wasn't the first movie to use that idea. in fact, tarantinos first film, reservoir dogs, used a similar out-of-order storytelling structure
@@okayegg4597it really didn't work, it sucked and had no depth and I didn't care about any of the characters because what's to like?

@@cyberius14okay pal
@@cyberius14feel better?
@@cyberius14and it totally did work btw. It's considered one of the most popular films of all time. Your just lame lol
Noteworthy is the fact that John plays the "I've barely got rythm" facet of a gangster really well....🤣😎
He’s also dancing for his life.
1000th like🎉
Definitely Fatboy Slim moment.
Well, he is supposed to be high off his #ss as well-
Except John Travolta has hella rhythm
One of the best films of the last 50 years.
so are there better ones before that time?
@@andrimatthiasson5718 50 years= approximate recognized era of modern film.(1968)
I can’t imagine watching this in theatres for the first time with a packed audience who also hadn’t seen it… amazing experience that must’ve been
Quentin brings back Travolta and we all love him for it. Unfortunately they never worked together again.
Pulp fiction is like if you take all the best, most fun, most off the fucking wall scenes from a bunch of movies and made that the whole film. Every scene is incredible. It never lets you get bored for a second.
He's so enthusiastic about his own film like he's a fan
🤣🍿
Tarantino's choice of music was awesome in all of his films.
Except Hateful 8 and Django and OUATIH
yea Django wasn't the best choice at times but it worked okay enough
Not an excuse to shoot their feet, I swear.
- Tarantino, probably
Dan Schneider actually
@@summerfireking both.
💀
😂😂😂
Gave em a foot massage 😂 🦶🏻
Decades later and pulp fiction holds up incredibly well. Still having movies not scratch what this one achieved.
I love how much Quentin cares about actors and reminding people why they're loved - dude genuinely loves the movie biz
Quentin's excitement shows his love and passion for good movies, good story telling. He cares about the audience being thrilled, seeing John Travolta dance again. ❤
Imagine the audiences' reaction to the gimp after all that joviality.
This got a damn giggle from me. HAHA
I do not have to imagine. I remember quite clearly. 😳😂😳
Must've really woke them up.
The twist is dancing now got it
Lmao 😂
I love how passionate he is about his film even to this day

Yep. Remember the first time watching it. Anytime you can get Travolta to dance youre golden.
Quentin is telling the truth.... I remember it happening
The more i see him in interviews, the cooler he is.
Noticed the song playing in the background saying, "Goes to show, you never can tell;" And the way he dances as if he doesn't necessarily know how in this scene, is even MORE priceless. I love it. ❤️
Travolta should dance in EVERY movie. It's iconic lol😅
Nobody is a bigger fan of Tarantino movies than Tarantino.

Whoever Put Rumble In the background of this short is Fucking Cool.

That clap to start the dance gets me every time
Casting Travolta really was a stroke of genius haha
The best director ever love his energy shutting down martin bashere news anchor was classic good on u bro
And that was exactly my reaction when I first saw it on the theatre when it came out 😃❤️
Coolest movie,love everything quentin comes out with. I love his style of films all of them!
Ive gone as vincent twice for halloween, favorite movie
Top 3 of my favourite movies ever!!!
Loved that scene. 🔥🔥
‘Rumble’, by Link Wray, a fantastic riff.
Thank, very bless!!! 😂
Sampled by Death Grips in Spread Eagle Cross The Block
Absolutely. As a Rockabilly fan I agree. Only died a couple years ago, he was still gigging up to the end.
@@SuperNuclearUnicornexactly what i was thinking this entire clip
There is a difference between giving the audience what they want and giving the audience what they think they want.
That Marilyn double really looks the part
This is exactly what i thought back then when i was in a small theater in south of France watching plup fiction. I was so thrilled seeing him dancing !
He was damn near 40 in that movie? Crazy he looks great
Travolta and Thurman effing killed it.
I bet Tarantino loved when Travolta took off his shoes to dance
That twist was fire lmao
First time watching this I assumed they were gonna cut to the next scene of them having lost or won without ever showing the dancing itself so I was shocked
I’m too young to know that he was a dancer in the 80’s but when I saw this movie for the first time I knew there was something weirdly special about that scene and I couldn’t look away.
“It’s all about the footwork”- someone without any notable fetishes
Pure brilliance

Accurate! that's exactly how I felt watching it like all of a sudden holyshit it's John Travolta dancing!
feet. FEET. FEEEEEEEEET. -Tarantino
Me too.
One of my favourite movies ever
It was exactly like that, when I saw it in 1994 - he's gonna dance!
That was such a cool scene.
Perfect cinema
I love John Travolta, of course. But Uma was just as great!! The two made magic.
“takes his shoes off” 👀👀👀👀
I didn't even think about that! So true his dancing was so understated but absolutely iconic.....again! After yrs of nothing he does that :)
The thing I love about this is that they didn't win but stole the trophy. You can hear it on the radio later.
No way! Time for a rewatch.
no one dances like John - he's naturally so cool!
One of the things that makes me like Vince is that he danced
That was certainly a nice cute bonus to what is absolutely one of the greatest films ever made. Thank you, Quentin Tarantino. You're amazing and (most of) your films are amazing.
I’ll be back in two shakes of a lambs tail.
I said god DAMN, god damn...
Pulp Fiction.
What a flick, bravo!!
I remember thinking EXACTLY this when I first watched it.
Same! Tarantino knows exactly what he is doin g when he makes his movies. Or he did, I can't remember him doing a good one in a while, but his 90s movies are masterpieces.
Pulp fiction is one of the greatest films of all time. Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson paying a visit to Brad and his friends has the best dialog.
Tarantino is the only director with 100% good movies. No bad ones, no mediocre ones, only good and great ones
The ONLY director? Where to start with this statement? I will start with I am sorry that you developed that terminal illness 1 minute after watching the last Tarantino movie and you had 1 day to live so you couldn’t fit in all the brilliant movies by brilliant directors with a perfect score.
I could watch John Travolta dance all day every day!!!
Thanks for the comment dear
I can watch this movie over and over again and just ❤ it that much more each time I watch it!!
You can still dance good John, I Really enjoyed the Movie Grease with you and Olivia Newton John.we need those kind of Movies and singing 🎶 in today world. God Bless you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And of course the shoes came off in a Tarantino movie. No one was safe.
I still watch it every now and then...my fave Tarantino movie, and one of my all time faves
I have to admit I tried the dance moves with the wifey we just laughed lol 👍🏼 JT is one of a kind great character
The wifey? Really?
John Travolta was in 3 of the most iconic dance scenes of all times
John is a very sensitive artist ...camera loves his eyes, whole being, in Saturday Night Fever ...very unique artist ...congratulations John ...blessed artist 🎨
QT is a movie making genius!
I like how Tarantino's clap was synced up with Travolta's clap.
Quinten as a director… love him. Quinten as a person… can’t stand him.
sometimes I dig his philosophizing about movies.. and then he'll diss the 50's and the 80's, and John Woo and Chow Yun Fat and you think "what the hell is WRONG with you?!"
John Travolta... one of the best ❤❤❤❤

I love it when he dances!!
The turn “cuts a rug” is such a director term
John was so beautiful.
Must have watched pulp fiction 200 times on deployment. We could recite every scene. Still love watching it as well as anything Quentin makes
It really was quite a moment... Love John 💖
Pulp Fiction saved John Travolta’s career 🥃🔥

Good to SEE Travolta dancing again after we dance in the seventies every where saturday fever

Just the fact JT was in a movie and dances was enough ❤
