After the movie's iconic dance scene, you see Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace walk into her house holding a trophy. The audience assumes they won the contest, but later in the film, a barely audible radio broadcast states the trophy had been stolen - meaning Vince and Mia lost the competition then stole the trophy!
Tarantino also says that there is a deleted scene that didn't make it in to the final cut that also supports the notion that they stole the trophy after losing the competition.
Wow, another detail to this masterpiece I didn’t know. Thanks friend. This reminds me of when I discovered you can hear Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer talking from a distance audibly in the final act while the dialogue and camera is focused on the hitmen’s convo…
This is not true, it's a ridiculous fan theory which is completely ridiculous, and if it were part of the story, it would be terrible movie-making and terrible screenwriting. They won the trophy, and the ad in the alley simply says 'Special at Jack Rabbit Slims, (something or other) is (such and so price)...", it's just an ad.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 How would that be terrible filmmaking? It'd literally just be a little easter egg joke for people to catch. Though it is unproven, I don't see how that would be a terrible or ridiculous. It literally is not that big of a deal lmao.
I say this in 100% honesty… I truly appreciate you not censoring the dialogue. This is one of those movies that loses so much of its awesomeness without all of the wording as it was originally filmed. Thank you
One of my favorite parts of the movie is the fact that the manager of the coffee shop gets cut off while talking to Tim Roth's character and only manages to say, I'm just a coffee shop..." and then in the credits, he's listed as "Coffee Shop".
He does actually say "manager" after a pause; it's just obscured by the other dialogue. Also, the coffee shop customer Tim Roth calls "long-haired yuppie scum" is producer Roger Avary.
One of my favorite things about this movie is how nearly every plot point is driven by someone making a colossal blunder. Mia mistaking the cocaine for heroin, Vincent shooting Marvin in the face, Fabian forgetting Butch's watch, etc. Also, there's a fantastic understated cause and effect throughout the movie - why did Mia make that mistake? Because the drug dealer was out of balloons, which is usually what heroin is sold in. Why didn't Vincent hear Butch making his Pop-Tarts? Because Vincent thought it was Marcellus returning with the coffee and donuts. Why was Marcellus staking out the apartment with Vincent? Because Jules quit the life after the events of the previous morning. There are other examples that slip my mind right this second, but they're all throughout the movie, even though little to no attention is called to them.
Not that far from "No Country for Old Men", mere incidents and innuendo drives the story forward. Basically, this is life, there is no master narrative, there never was.
@@ericlweatherhogSamurai Jack for one. Green Lantern from Justice League I think. If I'm thinking Marvin is who I think he is if not imma feel real bad 😂
FYI: Marvin was basically their inside man. Before Vincent and Jules enter the apartment building, they make reference to "our guy." Fearing what would happen, Marvin probably called Wallace and told him what apartment Brett was hiding out in.
@Cathal He is also brilliant in MadTV. Gay Rapper remains one of my personal favorites of his scetch comedy roles, though he has a ton of other good stuff too.
That I didn't pick up, man, this whole comments section making me realize I don't know this movie at all and it's one of my favorite movies that I've watched many times over 😅🥲
In an interview shortly after the movie was released, Uma said she was terrified of the dance scene with Travolta because of his talent as a dancer. Travolta purposely toned it down to keep in line with his character Vincent. Uma was relieved. Travolta is legendary in movies as a dancer from "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever".
Both Uma and Travolta were terrified. Only the night before filming the scene, Tarantino explained to them in detail what he's going for to ease the stress. For Uma, he wanted her to act like one of the dancing cats from "The Aristocats". So it was supposed to be playful instead of technically apt dancing.
The dance contest scene always gets me. Mia is speeding at 120 mph on coke and Vincent is slow grooving to a heroin trip. Travolta and Thurman nailed their parts for that scene.
something i just learned vin the comments, is that they didn't actually win, they stole the trophy. apparently if you pay close attention there's another scene where the radio is on in the background and it's basically like the news, reporting that the trophy was stolen. pretty interesting because all these years i just assumed they won.

"Ah man, I shot Marvin in the face" is one of the best lines in the history of cinema. I think Travolta might have even added it too which is unusual on a Tarantino movie.
Back in 94‘ we used to go to the movies deciding on the fly, and I went into pulp fiction totally stoned without having any clue of what was coming. I‘d say this was probably the most intense movie experience I ever had 😂

the only prequel I ever truly wanted was that of Jules and Vincent together before his trip to Amsterdam. too bad i never got it. and the only spin off of any Tarantino movies I want is that of Jules walking the earth. I think that's still doable...maybe even crossing it over with the long overdue Kill Bill Vol. 3.
I saw this film opening night in a packed house and the reaction was just amazing. This is a movie that lives and breathes on the big screen with an audience. When Zed says "Bring out the Gimp," I could distinctly recall the audience(and myself) having absolutely _no_ idea what to expect next. Everyone heard it, no one could comprehend it. One thing I read about QT and Samuel L. Jackson's work together, was that Jackson was an actor who doesn't speak Tarantino's words, he _sings_ them. When he quotes Ezekiel to Brad, it's one of the great screen performances as he ratchets up the fear and terror, and when he raises the gun, the audience raises their hands in anticipation of Brad's horrible end. But when he delivers the same speech _sotto voce_ to Ringo in the diner, he uses it not to kill, but to inspire one person to change their path in life. That the same speech is used to bookend the film and goes from terror to epiphany is not only an amazing feat of writing, but an amazing performance by an actor, who truly makes those words resonate.
I love the way QT writes movies. It's the dialog-heaviness that gets me. It's like reading Greek classics where you can tell it's a flow of random conversations the writer has had in their heads by themselves tons of times.
I have to agree with Martini on this one. I've tried to read Homer's Odyssey before, "natural conversation" is not something that comes to mind. Telemachus: "Greetings, stranger; you shall be welcome in our house when you have had your supper. Tell me what I can do for you." Athena: "You are a bold man, Telemachus, and you ought not to be so shy, nor so fearful of other people. You have been strong enough in the past to seek your father's return, and now it is time to do so with even greater vigor. If your father is dead, you must still find out the truth and bring it home to those who wish to destroy your house and your birthright. Have courage, and tell those suitors to go back to their homes. As for the journey you seek, I will help you. Get a vessel ready, choose the best crew you can find, and set out at once to inquire after your father who has so long been missing. Someone may tell you something, or (and people often hear things in this way) some heaven-sent message may direct you. If you feel you cannot go yourself, put the matter into the hands of the best of the suitors, for I know they will be glad enough to act." It just rolls off the tongue, like you're a fly on the wall.
14:00 High school dances in the 50s were known as "Sock hops" because they were generally held in the gym and everyone had to take off their shoes to avoid scuffing up the floor. It would make sense for a 50s themed restaurant to follow the same convention for a twist contest.
1994 was an amazing time to go see movies. So many Classic spellbinding movies were released that year it's hard to wrap your head around. Check out the list: Pulp Fitction, Leon: The Professional, The Lion King, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Interview with a Vampire, True Lies, Speed, Dumb and Dumber, Natural Born killers, Quiz Show, Clerks, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Crow, The Mask, Ace VEntura: Pet Detective.
And don't forget Star Trek Generations, In The Mouth Of Madness, The Madness of King George, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Nobody's Fool, Crooklyn, Hoop Dreams, Chungking Express, The Last Seduction, Three Colours: Red, Fresh, and Once Were Warriors. I almost forgot The Legend of The Drunken Master, which wasn't released in North America several years later. 1994 was an incredible year for movies. There were so many in the 90's.

Pulp and Inglorious Basterds are still my 2 fav QT movies. The combination if dialogue, drama, dark humor and over the top violence are what us misanthropes love.
One great little hint in the Ezekiel 25:17 scene is that when Jules asks Brett if he has read the bible, you notice that Vincent already starts cocking his gun and holding it in front of himself, indicating that he knows Jules is about to unload on Brett. It's a brilliant way of telegraphing to the audience of what's going to happen before it happens.
When this came out, I saw it in the theater 12 times (still a record). I just kept dragging friends and family to it, because I wanted more people to see it. I'm glad you liked it. This is the first video of yours I've watched; good job!
To enjoy a film like Pulp Fiction, you need to have these three things: 1. An appreciation for period pieces 2. A longer than average attention span 3. (And most importantly) A sense of humor
@@jmhjmhjmh It's less that it's rude, and more that you could hurt yourself or them. Even taking someone's prescription can throw off their re-up, cause them to confuse and miss important doses, or they might have mixed bottles and labels, they might even be hiding pills in different bottles.
I always liked to think that Vincent being in the bathroom at the restaurant was his "second chance" if you look at it from Jules point of view. He survived the same crazy miracle that Jules did, and Jules understood that you only get one of those. Next time something like that happened he would be dead. Vincent didnt see it that way, and he walked out of the bathroom into what couldve been a life or death situation, and he walked away alive ignorantly thinking that he could continue his lifestyle. Jules got out of the life and got to see another day. Vincent on the otherhand once again found himself surprised by a man with a gun and his luck had run dry. His own gun at that. Vincent died because of his carelessness and arrogance. Shouldve got out while he had the chance.
Appreciate you not censoring the dialogue. It's an intact work of art, and that's how it's meant to be enjoyed. Also I'm with you, I can't handle other people's feet and I can't stand someone else touching mine
One thing about Quentin Tarantino that he appreciates vintage music and he makes sure that whatever story he's telling fits that music. If you get the chance to react to *KILL BILL* music definitely plays a role in that movie.
Fun fact, Walken's father is German who spoke broken English and had to pause to think of the rest of the sentence, which is where is speech pattern comes from.
"Zed, it's Maynard. The spider's caught a couple of flies in the web." Arianna: "Oh my God! What did you guys just stumble in to?" Me: "HAHAHA! Oh NOOOO! She doesn't know! 🤣"
Hey Arianna. I hope you notice that every time Vincent has gone to the bathroom (3 times), something bad happens. Plus you caught that he was reading the same book in all the instances. The reason he was always in the bathroom, was from the fact that Vincent gave up Herione after the Mia overdose incident. Heroine makes you constipated. Once Vincent gave it up, he had to go to the bathroom all the time.
Herion addiction also gives you muscle spasms that are hard to notice. So lets assume like a proper cool killer, Vincent had some trigger work done for a smooth trigger pull, it becomes clear Marvin was an accident.
The book is a spy novel "Modesty Blaise". Weirdly, a main character in the novel is a detective Tarrant. Close enough to the name Tarantino. Also a long time host in the UK show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" had this same name.
@@81pdmatt Where does that assumption even come from that he quit? Or is it part of "the book"? I don't know too much about this movie and only saw it like twice.
You don't know how refreshing it is to watch someone actually laugh at the dark humor that Tarantino purposefully injects into all of his films. Most people today...the humor just goes right over their heads as they watch stone-faced. (So much so that when people see dark comedies, they state that "it's tonally all over the place" when in reality, it's just them). What an absolute treat to watch someone enjoy this movie for what it was supposed to be back in 1994. Awesome reaction video!
I ordered this once on Video while staying at a Motel 6. What came on instead was something called Pump Friction. An altogether different kind of Film.
So. Back of the neck is where some cultures say your soul comes from. So big theory is that Marcelllas had his soul in the briefcase. That’s why he had the bandaid on his neck.
The motorcycle is called "Grace" because the underlying theme of the movie is "saving grace" as evident by the people that keep getting saved or spared
I'm loving your reactions. I think you might be the first reactor I've seen who knew what was going on with Mia finding Vincent's stuff and thinking it's something else
I can't tell you how much I envy the experience you had here. By the time I saw Pulp Fiction I knew basically every plot point. Being able to go in totally green in 2022 is really a special experience.
A true classic film. Fun note: the actor that plays Marvin went on to be the voice of Samurai Jack among other roles. Another 90s classic you should watch is FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS with Johnny Depp. I think you'd appreciate it.
This is one of my favourite movies and I have seen it so many times I lost count. Glad that you loved it too. :) Your reactions were so great and genuine; what I loved the most you didn't talk over the movie the whole time. Definately one of the best reactions I have seen so far.
I loved Butch stopping and rethinking his decision to leave Marcellus. He's like "He's an organised crime boss and wants to kill me but I can't leave someone get raped"
Also hearkens back to his dad's buddy's talk about how two men who've gone through a tough time together owe each other an obligation. Double ironic because the buddy's obligation was shoving something up hjs ass, Butch's obligation is to keep something out of Marsellus' ass.
That was absolute best reaction I've ever seen to one of my favorites! You appreciated the well-crafted dialogue. You got the humor. Everything you had to say showed you understood how this movie became so popular. It was just a spectacular reaction. Too many reaction videos skip the best parts, gloss over the humor or dIalogue, or just don't get it. I had already subscribed, but now I hit the bell. Keep up the good work!
ever since Pulp Fiction, phone never stopped ringing for Samuel L Jackson. it made him an international Superstar even though he had been acting for decades. he has never had an off-day since then. at the same time, John Travolta was waning with his career as well, but just like Samuel L Jackson catapulted his acting career, this was the break John Travolta needed.
Vincent may be a liability, but Fabianne is useless. She literally faces such tasks as "remember to take the watch when packing suitcases" and "get on the bike quickly", and somehow that's too demanding on her fragile little heart and mind.
Vince is always on the toilet because of constipation, he wants to go, but cannot, side effect of all the drugs he took. Mia's apartment Butch's apartment (He was shot) Restaurant.
This is my alltime favorite movie since the first time i saw it in 94 and i love to see you reaction! It's actually amazing how its still kept some of its shock value this many years later.
Eric Stoltz- plays the Heroin dealer- he’s fantastic Don’t miss “Some Kind Of Wonderful “ With Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson I grew up in the 80’s and it’s my favorite of all the John Hughes films. I think you’d love it. He was also in “Mask” with Cher- A critically acclaimed movie itself
At the time I remember hearing 2 things around that I now have attributed to this film. I was sheltered growing up. “What they call a Quarter pounder…” and “ A daddy tomato, a momma tomato…”
There's nothing to support that at all, that's just supposition based on some of the throwback-y elements in the film. As pointed out there are too many more modern items to suggest it was set in the 70s.
What makes this movie so great is that the majority of the cast were already seasoned actors. This film took them into the fucking stratosphere. And it was beautiful to witness.
It was awesome to watch someone's genuine first time reaction to this film. I half thought you were going to say that's the best film I've ever seen haha
About the conversational script- THIS is the movie that revolutionized movie dialogue and made it feel like actual conversation. No one had ever had two hit men talking about foot massages on the way up to do a job. I'm sure all of us has had a fantastic day hanging out with a friend when the conversation really didn't extend much deeper than gym bags and donuts. Also, really good job picking up on Mia confusing the heroin for coke. Remember back at Lance's where Vince got the dope, Lance was out of balloons and had to sell the H in a baggie. And that was five-dollar milkshake dripping from her mouth when she was OD'ing.
I think there are very few movies that really deliver more than just entertainment the first time you see them, and I think Pulp Fiction is one of those movies. It's a game changer. The first time I saw it I was stunned by everything about it. The soundtrack, the structure, the writing, the acting...who knew a metric system joke could be combined with violence so memorably?
Samuel L Jackson did win an academy award for best supporting actor in this film just because of that scene... In fact pulp fiction in general won the academy award across the board best picture best director...
*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."*
I was pregnant when I first saw this and my brother was flabbergasted when I shared it with him and my sister in law. The humor balances the violence, in my point of view. And yes sister, we have dark humor but that's ok! My youngest daughter is of the same ilk. I taped the soundtrack but left out the swearing in the beginning. It is an amazing soundtrack for true! We would play it during family drives. 😹 Of course, our girls didn't see the movie till much later. I got to say, this is my second time watching you and your reactions mirror mine quite often. So glad to have found you! Thank you for sharing! 😽💋📽
2:22 There is a dumpy sawdust joint casino on the Las Vegas Strip called the Casino Royale. For decades my brother and I have called it the "Royale with Cheese" because of this movie.
Fun fact: The red convertible that Vincent ferries Mia around in was Quentin Tarantino's personal property. It was stolen some time later, and later still, some random guy bought it (presumably off the thief) and spent a BUNCH of money restoring it to mint condition. Random guy out driving, showing off his pride and joy gets pulled over by the cops, and told he's driving a stolen car. Car gets returned to QT, and not only does he not thank the guy for getting his car back, but doesn't pay him for the time and effort he put in restoring it.

I have to agree with Martini on this one. I've tried to read Homer's Odyssey before, "natural conversation" is not something that comes to mind.
Telemachus: "Greetings, stranger; you shall be welcome in our house when you have had your supper. Tell me what I can do for you."
Athena: "You are a bold man, Telemachus, and you ought not to be so shy, nor so fearful of other people. You have been strong enough in the past to seek your father's return, and now it is time to do so with even greater vigor. If your father is dead, you must still find out the truth and bring it home to those who wish to destroy your house and your birthright. Have courage, and tell those suitors to go back to their homes. As for the journey you seek, I will help you. Get a vessel ready, choose the best crew you can find, and set out at once to inquire after your father who has so long been missing. Someone may tell you something, or (and people often hear things in this way) some heaven-sent message may direct you. If you feel you cannot go yourself, put the matter into the hands of the best of the suitors, for I know they will be glad enough to act."
It just rolls off the tongue, like you're a fly on the wall.
Jody was excited because that adrenaline shot to the heart was the ultimate piercing.
Okay, fine... kudos.
14:00 High school dances in the 50s were known as "Sock hops" because they were generally held in the gym and everyone had to take off their shoes to avoid scuffing up the floor. It would make sense for a 50s themed restaurant to follow the same convention for a twist contest.
Nice factoid- I missed the sock hop generation, but I figured that socks were a part of it.
That and Tarantino has a foot fetish so...
1994 was an amazing time to go see movies. So many Classic spellbinding movies were released that year it's hard to wrap your head around. Check out the list: Pulp Fitction, Leon: The Professional, The Lion King, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Interview with a Vampire, True Lies, Speed, Dumb and Dumber, Natural Born killers, Quiz Show, Clerks, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Crow, The Mask, Ace VEntura: Pet Detective.
I haven't seen the Hudsucker Proxy in ages! Thanks for the reminder to watch it again soon.
And Tim Burton's "Ed Wood." Tarantino said that was his favorite movie of 1994.
the mask and ace ventura came out in the same year?
And don't forget Star Trek Generations, In The Mouth Of Madness, The Madness of King George, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Nobody's Fool, Crooklyn, Hoop Dreams, Chungking Express, The Last Seduction, Three Colours: Red, Fresh, and Once Were Warriors. I almost forgot The Legend of The Drunken Master, which wasn't released in North America several years later. 1994 was an incredible year for movies. There were so many in the 90's.
I have a real soft spot for true lives

“Needles freaked me out, man”…. Get ready to get FREAKKED OUT .
I just started laughing when she said that. That is some grade A+ 10/10 foreshadowing.
Pulp and Inglorious Basterds are still my 2 fav QT movies. The combination if dialogue, drama, dark humor and over the top violence are what us misanthropes love.
One great little hint in the Ezekiel 25:17 scene is that when Jules asks Brett if he has read the bible, you notice that Vincent already starts cocking his gun and holding it in front of himself, indicating that he knows Jules is about to unload on Brett. It's a brilliant way of telegraphing to the audience of what's going to happen before it happens.
I would say it's ti show that this is their routine, not to telegraph to the audience
Hes also shows slight annoyance cause he has to listen to it over and over.
When this came out, I saw it in the theater 12 times (still a record). I just kept dragging friends and family to it, because I wanted more people to see it. I'm glad you liked it. This is the first video of yours I've watched; good job!
Yeah, me, 1984 and Purple Rain. God, what an experience. Still my favorite band of all time.
You should watch her reaction to the 'Lord of the Rings Trilogy'. I would say it is one of the very best reactions on RUclips. I cried along with her.
Very genuine reaction! Yes, you should be laughing. Welcome to the Tarantino universe.
To enjoy a film like Pulp Fiction, you need to have these three things:
1. An appreciation for period pieces
2. A longer than average attention span
3. (And most importantly) A sense of humor
just enjoy the movie and not thinking way too deep into it lmao
I died laughing when Arianna said “That’s why you don’t take other people’s drugs.” instead of “That’s why you don’t take drugs.”
Came to the comments for this, thank you! 😂
It's true though, even with prescriptions you should not be taking other people's drugs.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat well obviously. It’s just rude.
@@jmhjmhjmh It's less that it's rude, and more that you could hurt yourself or them. Even taking someone's prescription can throw off their re-up, cause them to confuse and miss important doses, or they might have mixed bottles and labels, they might even be hiding pills in different bottles.
I always liked to think that Vincent being in the bathroom at the restaurant was his "second chance" if you look at it from Jules point of view. He survived the same crazy miracle that Jules did, and Jules understood that you only get one of those. Next time something like that happened he would be dead. Vincent didnt see it that way, and he walked out of the bathroom into what couldve been a life or death situation, and he walked away alive ignorantly thinking that he could continue his lifestyle.
Jules got out of the life and got to see another day. Vincent on the otherhand once again found himself surprised by a man with a gun and his luck had run dry. His own gun at that. Vincent died because of his carelessness and arrogance. Shouldve got out while he had the chance.
Jesus Christ. How many times must I have to correct the ignorance of some people? THE GUN WAS MARCELLUS WALLACE'S! NOT VINCE'S!!!!
Appreciate you not censoring the dialogue. It's an intact work of art, and that's how it's meant to be enjoyed. Also I'm with you, I can't handle other people's feet and I can't stand someone else touching mine
One thing about Quentin Tarantino that he appreciates vintage music and he makes sure that whatever story he's telling fits that music. If you get the chance to react to *KILL BILL* music definitely plays a role in that movie.
Fun fact, Walken's father is German who spoke broken English and had to pause to think of the rest of the sentence, which is where is speech pattern comes from.
No, Walken said himself that he rewrites his scripts by taking out all of the punctuation and memorizes them with pauses in different places.
His mother was an immigrant from Scotland. German-Scottish hybrid. Like DJT
"Zed, it's Maynard. The spider's caught a couple of flies in the web."
Arianna: "Oh my God! What did you guys just stumble in to?"
Me: "HAHAHA! Oh NOOOO! She doesn't know! 🤣"
I can't get enough of this movie, absolute classic.
Hey Arianna. I hope you notice that every time Vincent has gone to the bathroom (3 times), something bad happens.
Plus you caught that he was reading the same book in all the instances. The reason he was always in the bathroom, was from the fact that Vincent gave up Herione after the Mia overdose incident. Heroine makes you constipated. Once Vincent gave it up, he had to go to the bathroom all the time.
Herion addiction also gives you muscle spasms that are hard to notice. So lets assume like a proper cool killer, Vincent had some trigger work done for a smooth trigger pull, it becomes clear Marvin was an accident.
@@DerOberfeldwebel ahhhh. I didn't know that. That's an awesome tidbit
The bathroom scene at the restaurant took place before the overdose so he didnt necessarily quit.
The book is a spy novel "Modesty Blaise". Weirdly, a main character in the novel is a detective Tarrant. Close enough to the name Tarantino. Also a long time host in the UK show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" had this same name.
@@81pdmatt Where does that assumption even come from that he quit? Or is it part of "the book"? I don't know too much about this movie and only saw it like twice.
33:09 “Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.”
One of the greatest lines of all time.
Fun Fact: The discussion Mia and Vincent had about The Fox Force Five was actually the beginning of what turned out to be Kill Bill.
You don't know how refreshing it is to watch someone actually laugh at the dark humor that Tarantino purposefully injects into all of his films. Most people today...the humor just goes right over their heads as they watch stone-faced. (So much so that when people see dark comedies, they state that "it's tonally all over the place" when in reality, it's just them). What an absolute treat to watch someone enjoy this movie for what it was supposed to be back in 1994. Awesome reaction video!
I ordered this once on Video while staying at a Motel 6. What came on instead was something called Pump Friction. An altogether different kind of Film.
This is a very underrated comment
How was the plot! Did it follow along! Who played Mia!
@@griffinkay490 ruclips.net/video/0qCUC3JUntU/видео.html
I'll bet you were bored stiff!
I made this mistake several times.
I am so glad that another person got to watch this movie! The perfect combination of gore, humour and endless exposition.
Arianna, your reactions always Rock! You really smashed this one, loved it!!
Hmm, her reactions were ok during the film, but pretty much ZERO closing? She was out 1 second after the ending?? Disappointing.
So. Back of the neck is where some cultures say your soul comes from. So big theory is that Marcelllas had his soul in the briefcase. That’s why he had the bandaid on his neck.
The motorcycle is called "Grace" because the underlying theme of the movie is "saving grace" as evident by the people that keep getting saved or spared
It is such a great movie. And the dialogue is great. There is a lot of humor in it too, as well as the violence.
Haha, Arianna, when Butch and Fabienne ride off on the chopper and you said, "That's not the end?" That is the end of the chronological story!
This is an awesome movie and this put Travolta back in the spot light his career blew up again.
"A lot of racist slurs so far."
Me knowing what happens later: hehehehe
This is my 2nd favorite film. Thanks for making the video.

I'm loving your reactions. I think you might be the first reactor I've seen who knew what was going on with Mia finding Vincent's stuff and thinking it's something else
When Vince goes to his dealer he says he's out of balloons and asks him if it's okay to put it in a coke baggy, so Mia thinks it's coke.
I can't tell you how much I envy the experience you had here. By the time I saw Pulp Fiction I knew basically every plot point. Being able to go in totally green in 2022 is really a special experience.
A true classic film. Fun note: the actor that plays Marvin went on to be the voice of Samurai Jack among other roles. Another 90s classic you should watch is FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS with Johnny Depp. I think you'd appreciate it.
That is awesome!
This is one of my favourite movies and I have seen it so many times I lost count. Glad that you loved it too. :)
Your reactions were so great and genuine; what I loved the most you didn't talk over the movie the whole time.
Definately one of the best reactions I have seen so far.
I understood Butch's blowup. Losing a family heirloom is soul crushing especially when it's something from a father to son
Especially when his father and captain Coons went to such extreme lengths to get him the watch.
As mentioned in comments below, TY for not censoring rough scenes. True review channel! 😀 You have one new subscriber!
I loved Butch stopping and rethinking his decision to leave Marcellus. He's like "He's an organised crime boss and wants to kill me but I can't leave someone get raped"
Also hearkens back to his dad's buddy's talk about how two men who've gone through a tough time together owe each other an obligation.
Double ironic because the buddy's obligation was shoving something up hjs ass, Butch's obligation is to keep something out of Marsellus' ass.
One of the all time greatest movies and I genuinely enjoyed getting to see someone else experience what it had to offer. Thank you
That was absolute best reaction I've ever seen to one of my favorites! You appreciated the well-crafted dialogue. You got the humor. Everything you had to say showed you understood how this movie became so popular. It was just a spectacular reaction. Too many reaction videos skip the best parts, gloss over the humor or dIalogue, or just don't get it. I had already subscribed, but now I hit the bell. Keep up the good work!
ever since Pulp Fiction, phone never stopped ringing for Samuel L Jackson. it made him an international Superstar even though he had been acting for decades. he has never had an off-day since then. at the same time, John Travolta was waning with his career as well, but just like Samuel L Jackson catapulted his acting career, this was the break John Travolta needed.
Vincent may be a liability, but Fabianne is useless. She literally faces such tasks as "remember to take the watch when packing suitcases" and "get on the bike quickly", and somehow that's too demanding on her fragile little heart and mind.
right? and her obsession with pot bellies. that girl isn't wrapped too tight.
Fabienne is fine but has no business with a guy like butch. She needs to be with a gift shop worker. Not a man doing crime
Your reaction is amazing. Thank you! It's like getting to watch it for the first time all over again!
A 1994 $5 dollars shake, adjusted for inflation, would be $10 shake today.
and in a few more months that shake will be 20 or 25 bucks.
The story was based in the 70s you can tell by Jules phone
Tops $15.
Vince is always on the toilet because of constipation, he wants to go, but cannot, side effect of all the drugs he took.
Mia's apartment
Butch's apartment (He was shot)
Restaurant.
Thanks!
So jealous of you watching _Pulp Fiction_ for the first time. Would gladly have this part of my memory wiped ready to discover its glory anew.
This is my alltime favorite movie since the first time i saw it in 94 and i love to see you reaction! It's actually amazing how its still kept some of its shock value this many years later.
No doubt this will be a trip. Congrats on getting it put together. See ya'll later. :)
The whole Bonnie Situation sequence is my absolute favourite story in this whole movie. Loved your reaction to the movie.
Chad. I survived the tornadoes. Thanks for posting this so quick!
Great movie. Be well
Excellent!
Eric Stoltz- plays the Heroin dealer- he’s fantastic
Don’t miss
“Some Kind Of Wonderful “
With Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson
I grew up in the 80’s and it’s my favorite of all the John Hughes films.
I think you’d love it.
He was also in “Mask” with Cher-
A critically acclaimed movie itself
You can't go wrong with Tarantino Movies. Not a bad one in the bunch.
At the time I remember hearing 2 things around that I now have attributed to this film. I was sheltered growing up. “What they call a Quarter pounder…” and “ A daddy tomato, a momma tomato…”
The movie is based in the 70s
Early 80s, at least
(Flock of Seagulls reference) some of the background vehicles.
Yeah and Vincent calls his dealer on a cell phone.
Didn't Mr. Wolf arrive in an NSX??
There's nothing to support that at all, that's just supposition based on some of the throwback-y elements in the film. As pointed out there are too many more modern items to suggest it was set in the 70s.
And that right there is one of the best screenplays ever made. Legend.
40:30 he's a junkie so he's always constipated
@10:10 'Needles freak me out' Oooh nooo...😅😅
Predator 2 please
What makes this movie so great is that the majority of the cast were already seasoned actors. This film took them into the fucking stratosphere. And it was beautiful to witness.
How have you never seen this? Were you raised by Wolves? The Amish?
Amish wolves
It was awesome to watch someone's genuine first time reaction to this film. I half thought you were going to say that's the best film I've ever seen haha
Every time I see an Arianna reaction, I gotta watch it...!!! Love your reactions.
The beauty of this film was that as awesome as the characters at the end were, they were just the beginning of the story for the rest.
About the conversational script- THIS is the movie that revolutionized movie dialogue and made it feel like actual conversation. No one had ever had two hit men talking about foot massages on the way up to do a job. I'm sure all of us has had a fantastic day hanging out with a friend when the conversation really didn't extend much deeper than gym bags and donuts.
Also, really good job picking up on Mia confusing the heroin for coke. Remember back at Lance's where Vince got the dope, Lance was out of balloons and had to sell the H in a baggie. And that was five-dollar milkshake dripping from her mouth when she was OD'ing.
"i did not see that coming." One of the most uttered phrases at pretty much any Tarantino film.
I didn't think there was anyone who haven't seen Pulp Fiction
When Vincent called him palooka, I was told palooka means like coward or an insult to someone like butch throwing the fight
At the 23:55 mark, that scene where hitman John Travolta gets blown away is pretty sweet.
I think there are very few movies that really deliver more than just entertainment the first time you see them, and I think Pulp Fiction is one of those movies. It's a game changer. The first time I saw it I was stunned by everything about it. The soundtrack, the structure, the writing, the acting...who knew a metric system joke could be combined with violence so memorably?
Samuel L Jackson did win an academy award for best supporting actor in this film just because of that scene... In fact pulp fiction in general won the academy award across the board best picture best director...
Wrong. Jackson didn't win that year. The only Oscar it won was Best Original Screenplay. Please do your research next time.
Heroin tends to cause constipation. Thus Vincent's long stretches reading the bathroom.
"Needles freak me out!" - Arianna
*laughs evilly knowing what's coming* - me
*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."*
I was pregnant when I first saw this and my brother was flabbergasted when I shared it with him and my sister in law. The humor balances the violence, in my point of view. And yes sister, we have dark humor but that's ok! My youngest daughter is of the same ilk. I taped the soundtrack but left out the swearing in the beginning. It is an amazing soundtrack for true! We would play it during family drives. 😹 Of course, our girls didn't see the movie till much later. I got to say, this is my second time watching you and your reactions mirror mine quite often. So glad to have found you! Thank you for sharing! 😽💋📽
The best reaction to Pulp Fiction on YT, hands down. Keep up the good work.
"Needles freak me out, man..."
-anticipation intensifies
2:22 There is a dumpy sawdust joint casino on the Las Vegas Strip called the Casino Royale. For decades my brother and I have called it the "Royale with Cheese" because of this movie.
@5:25 Phil LaMarr is hilariously scared in this. He’s a legendary voice actor now. And @6:58 was such a foreshadow that I didn’t need😂😂
This is the very definition of a "perfect script". Not a line out of place, not a single word unnecessary. To this day, Tarantino's magnum opus!
Not that’s how you’re gonna die…”thats how you’re gonna stay one step ahead of em butch.” Nice reaction!!
This is my all time favorite movie! Glad you liked it and honestly shocked more people haven't seen it
Fun fact: The red convertible that Vincent ferries Mia around in was Quentin Tarantino's personal property. It was stolen some time later, and later still, some random guy bought it (presumably off the thief) and spent a BUNCH of money restoring it to mint condition. Random guy out driving, showing off his pride and joy gets pulled over by the cops, and told he's driving a stolen car. Car gets returned to QT, and not only does he not thank the guy for getting his car back, but doesn't pay him for the time and effort he put in restoring it.
