after seeing this at a walk in theater in 1995.....i rented a vhs tape of it in austin, texas and spent the next year showing it to everyone i knew and a lot i did not know....it totally blew me away....this was sooo radical in 1995....this and natural born killers allowed me to cruise through the end of the 90s....
real good times.. i was 12 in 95 and since then i always loved hearing about a new film from him... too bad, Once upon a Time was most probably his last. a good one though. his most personal, imo. he could do more. he's not that old..
@@darthvader2158 i know, i know... he always said that... but, read an interview with him recently... he's insinuating that was his last. technically it's 10 though... xD i know it's splitting hairs. let's hope though.
IAW you. For a long time NBK was my favorite film of all time. Pulp F is of course a classic. Personally I don't get the title of the clip - nothing at all happened. It's still great. I don't really see PF as a tale about redemption; not at all.
I'm really impressed how a 16 minute Pulp Fiction video essay was pulled off without copyrighted music, only using royalty free RUclips tracks and it was still absolutely on point. Good work by your editors.
Ok, let me ask a question, when boxer comes to his girlfriend, she knows he killed a men, and that they will chase him, and they do what, HAVE SEX? Well that makes a lot of sense, instead of yelling at him for killing another boxer, or wanting to escape from Wallace henchmen, let's fuck and cudle. I can go on, but you get the point
@@amirphoenix2327 Why should she yell at him for killing a boxer? It happens, is not like he headshot someone during a robbery. Also they are escaping the next morning. I don't see the problem there really, it would be weird if the henchmen would appear immediatly without the boss order. Also the "suspension of disbelief". It's a movie, not a documentary.
This was my first rated R film to see in theaters. My dad and I saw it together when I was 13, and on that day, I fell in love with film as an artform.
I’d think @13 would be awkward to watch w/dad when talking about- It’s a ‘’ sex thing’’ helps-fellatio or is it as bad as eating a bitch out. As little kid my parents would let me watch anything Except sex in movies. Think this may be awkward to see w/dad but maybe you had a duper cool dad
Did you & your dad share an uncomfortable silence when Jody talked about her tongue stud & how it helps fellatio or about ‘’ eatin’ a bitch out’’..or about Vince going home, jerking off & that’s all he is gonna do cuz he’ll be a grease spot if he did?🤣🤣
Whenever I see a title “whatever happened to” I’m assuming it is a movie that has been forgotten or something. Absolutely nothing has happened to pulp fiction. It’s a classic and people who know movies appreciate it.
Watch it at least a couple times a year, still one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Still baffling that this, shawshank, and Forrest all came out around the same time. Something in the air that year while filming movies I guess
It's clickbait. The title is designed from the ground up to get clicks. Whether you love or hate the movie, the title appeals to the sense of outrage and intrigue. It's a nasty little fucking title. If you love it, the reaction is yours. "what do you mean whatever happened to? it's classic, are you nuts?" CLICK if you hate it "ahh yes, vindication, let's see what people are saying today about that forgotten piece of shit movie." CLICK fucking hate this sort of title, but too many channels use these ambiguous ass hole formatted titles.
@@phant0mdummy I couldn’t agree more. Also, what kind of a moron doesn’t appreciate pulp fiction? It reminds me of what I always say about the Beatles: “do they have to be your favorite band? No. Do I listen to them every day? No. Are you an absolute moron if you don’t understand the importance of their impact on music? Yes. Same with pulp fiction, you don’t have to love it but to think it’s a shit movie makes you a stupid person.
Tarantino and Avery seem like they’re on good terms again. I attended a midnight screening of Pulp Fiction at Tarantino’s theater in LA and they both unexpectedly showed up to watch the film.
@@anonymanynomsen6034 It truly was. No bodyguards though, just him and Avery there to enjoy their creation. I was sitting in an isle seat so he walked right by me to get to his seat. He left before the movie finished we couldn’t talk to him.
There is another Reservoir Dogs crossover: Linda Kaye. She is the one who shot Mr. Orange in the carjacking scene in Dogs, and then got shot by Marcellus in Pulp Fiction after Butch rolls him over in the car.
WTF happened to Pulp Fiction?! Nothing! It is still one of the best films ever made, and became a Bonified classic in time. And I will be damned if anyone speaks ill of this film for any iniquitous reasons.
It did make me think the film had become dated, with saying WTF happened to Pulp Fiction? It’s still as fresh and cool as ever! 28 years may have passed since it was first released, but hasn’t diminished its sharp dialogue. “What country are you from?” “What?” “What ain’t any country I’ve ever heard of! Do they speak English in What?”
@@jwprimetime9795 it’s got lots of brilliantly scripted scenes. Like when Vincent wants the wolf to say please to him and Jules, regarding cleaning the car. “So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fucking car”.
QT was THE film maker of the 90s. Me and my buddies would watch this movie all the time and constantly quote it in the halls at school. Great soundtrack too.
@@tristanlanphere7736 nope, i don’t think so. The movie revolutionized the industry in the 90 and opened a platform for other independent art filmmakers to make similar movies. I’d say it doesn’t get enough credit
@@anonymanynomsen6034 it wasn't even the 1st or the 2nd best movie of its year in my opinion. "revolutionized" is an over used word people use to critique movies without really relating to what it means
We got a copy of the original script. What came out in the movie is much better. For example, when Wallis was freed in the basement, he was grateful and hugged Vincent. Instead we got the rules, losing his LA privileges.
The idea that Pulp Fiction is actually a indie film is baffling to me. Not that it isn’t, it’s just I grew up with this film with all the applauds and star power it gained with it
I think the reason Bitch went back to save Marcellus from those rapists was because deep down he saw himself as the kind of man his father was. That is someone who wasn't willing to leave his friends behind to suffer a horrible fate as a tormented captive as his old man was, even if that person is his worse enemy.
That's exactly how I remember it too. Saw it in the cinema when it was released, and I probably just didn't "get it". But it's fair to say I absolutely love it today. :D
Totally agree! My QT favorites are: 1- Jackie Brown, 2- Reservoir Dogs, 3- Pulp Fiction. Though I am a fan of his whole filmography. To me, he seems to have a through-line of white males posturing and overcompensating to cover deep feelings of inadequacy, while women and black people (and black women) display quiet confidence, knowing that they'll be underestimated by said white males. Some exceptions exist - Clarence in True Romance, The Wolf & Lance in Pulp Fiction; but they thrive in the outlier zone, embodying roles beyond standard expectations. Just some thoughts I had
Why this film is considered a romanticization of heroin is beyond me. I took my 13-year-old niece to see Pulp Fiction when it came out. It couldn't hurt her. What the movie shows is that no matter how gorgeous and rich you are, if you shoot smack, you can wind up on a front lawn in low-rentville with a needle sticking out of your chest.
Tarantino isn't my favorite film maker, but I have no choice but to love and respect him. He's like Robert Rodriguez: he's the film maker everyone wants to be like.
One of the best movies of all time i still thinks it's better than forrest gump and pulp fiction should've won the best picture oscar. I hope Tarantino releases more deleted scenes like my favorite when jules, vincent, and jimmy have there picture taken with the wolf. It's my favorite deleted scene from the movie script book.
Totally agree...this movie is still talked about and deconstructed. Gump was a good movie and Hanks did a great job but pulp fiction changed the entire game. I guess we just had a lot of exceptional material back in the day.
Funny Story: I went to see this with a buddy of mine In the theater. When Uma was overdosing on horse and had to get the adrenaline shot, my friend stood up and started babbling and walked up the isle and passed out. I went to help him up and make sure he was OK. He sat there for a second and got up and returned to his seat to watch the rest of the movie. He told me after the movie he hated needles.
7:03 that car mat didnt work out so well ha ha. I guess its a miracle they got anything down in that short a time. Also I saw reservoir dogs in the theater and I remember when the n word started flying LOTS of people got up and walked out. I felt sad that people had a lack of vision and awareness as to why. it felt so shortsighted. these fictional people were scumbags and this was real life. Not to mention these same characters used the word "black" to describe some young girl who got shot in the robbery. I had a black roommate in collage at the time and when the VHS came out I brought it to the dorm room. Now he was a militant "pool is a racist game because the white ball puts the black ball in the hole for the win" type of guy. Well when the n word flew he did the same and I told him the same thoughts I had in the theater. he came to his senses and said "ok ma, whatever". then a week later he invited his whole crew of black friends over to watch it because he was so blown away with how awesome it was. they all reacted the same, and he said the same thing to them. they ended up loving it. the dorm sounded like a party that night.
@@lolo644 movie sucked, best part was all the way at the end when Pitt bombs that can at o girls face. That fight scene was the only good part of the entire thing.
I saw this at a packed dollar movie in '95 in a small East Texas town and you could hear a pin drop during the Marcellus and Butch scene in the basement of the pawn shop. Those folks weren't ready for that scene, and frankly neither was I. lol
Watch this movie with the mindset of "no one is any good at what they do" becuz from absolutely ery angle nobody is actually good at what they do. Jules and Vincent aren't good hit men, butch for whatever reason can't bring a watch to a boxing match, pumpkin and honeybunny are not good robbers. They treat robbing the customers as well as the store as a genius idea which they should have figured out a long time ago
Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump are both among my favorite films of all time. Remember that Gump is more approachable than Pulp, hence why it won the Oscar. However, on a technical level Pulp Fiction is the better film.
I didn't notice at first. Until he said "How 'bout you, Peggy Sue?" Something in his delivery instantly caught my attention. I've always liked the theory that he's Mister Pink from Reservoir Dogs, reduced to working for tips!
Nothing happened to Pulp. It’s still top 2-3 movies of 90s & top 20 of all time. It’s still the most original movie I’ve ever seen with a conventional story structure & I studied FMS ( Film& Media Studies) as my minor in college back in the day. Think Shawshank should’ve won best pic but Gump is a joke of a film. Every cheesy, predictable trope is in it. I wish I could have another experience like I did when I first saw this. Why tf isn’t this in 4K Dolby Vision yet!!!!
I am a sucker for the popcorn fun of Zemeckis films, but Forrest Gump annoys me greatly for some reason. It feels soulless. I don't feel that the Oscars are meaningful in the least, but I think it's good for filmmakers to be recognized for their dedication to making film an art form. "The Shawshank Redemption" is the far superior film, but it wasn't the financial and cultural juggernaut that "Forrest Gump" was. It's unfortunate, but I'm happy that "Shawshank" has received the recognition it deserves.
This is my brother and I's favorite movie one of the first movies we ever agreed upon I lost my brother in 2011 and still to that day it was our favorite movie and inspired us to want to be filmmakers I will always miss my brother always a half of me is always going to be gone until that part of me reunites this film always reminds me of the love that we had for Cinema and for each other.
Wonder if it has the same impact now. Some films that have a huge impact change the grammar of movies and I feel they must not seem as firebrand or unique as when they were released. Fight club and usual suspects fit here, I just don't think endings can have that impact anymore
One thing that took me decades to figure out was why Jules said "it's not quite time yet, let's hang back a minute" at Brett's door in the flophouse. What difference did a couple of minutes make? After watching a documentary on the Wonderland slayings where cokehead John Holmes casually unlocked a sliding glass door unseen that allowed ball bat wielding thugs to later enter the heavily guarded dealers' apartment the reason dawned on me. Marvin, Jules's inside man, opened the door at a prearranged time to let the two hitmen in without hindrance. "How many's up there?" "I dunno, three, four?" "That's counting our guy?" "Not sure." After the mayhem inside Brett's place that short conversation is long forgotten by moviegoers. Clever storytelling to be sure.
I still like to think that the briefcase in Pulp Fiction and the case in Ronin contained the same thing. I don't really have anything to prove this theory, I just like to think they do. Same thing with A Clockwork Orange and The Warriors taking place in the same universe.
I gotta agree. Though Sam Jackson owns the role, I could see Eddie Murphy as Jules; his comedy always had an undercurrent of volatility, a simmering anger. And I could see his endless bickering with Vincent being comedic gold, as well as Murphy completely selling Jules' quiet menace in the final scene with Ringo. I think actors known for mainly comedic roles can give absolutely chilling dramatic portrayals, e.g. Robin Williams in "One Hour Photo" or Don Rickles in "Casino".
Or that Itchy and Scratchy bit where they spoofed the scene in Reservior Dogs where Blonde tortures a cop while dancing to Stuck in the Middle With You. Tarrantino himself even appears in the skit before getting killed by Itchy.
I've just watched it again and it's a masterpiece. Especially when you consider today's mostly terrible big movies. I just realised that Vince died because Jules retired. That's why he was at Butch's house on his own... IMHO 🤔
Every movie he makes is a masterpiece. First tarentino film I had pleasure of watching in a cinema was once upon a time in Hollywood and what a ride that was
Rented this great film from the library, saw it went it came out, a fun and cool film all around!So much to say about this film, but I'll try to be brief!The film that made Samuel L. Jackson a star, even though he had been around for awhile, this was his breakthrough, and a magnificent performance, and a charismatic and great performance by John Travolta, one of my favorite actors of all time! And the film that put. him back on top!He and Jackson are great !A great, cool, fun and magnificent film!
There was a film released back in 1995 called Curdled, it began life as a short film that inspired part of Pulp Fiction. Interestingly it starred Angela Jones who is the taxi driver Esmerelda Villalobos, she drives Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) away from the building he boxed in, not to mention him killing the other boxer. I think Butch probably took it too literally, making a killing on his fight, even if it wasn’t intentional. This part is one of the most gripping in the film, as Butch ends up on the run for his life. Actually Angela Jones in Curdled, which I haven’t seen btw, plays Gabriela, a Columbian immigrant who works for a crime-scene clean-up service in Miami. The part of Pulp must be when Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel), gets Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L Jackson), to clean the car of blood, after Vincent accidentally shot Marvin (Phil LaMarr) in the face.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed. Was not disappointed. Also, on a numeric keypad, the zero is next to the period so I understand how this happened.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don’t think Michael Madsen could have played Vinnie Vega. He just looks too smart. I would never believe Madsen would be so stupid as to require a please. That is the moment that makes every other Vega action make sense.
Vic was the smart one. Psychopath, yes, but smart. I imagine he'd be the older brother, the one Vincent idolized, and tried to emulate. Vincent asking The Wolf for a "please" is the closest he could ever get to Vic's effortless "You gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"

TRUE MASTERPIECE IF EVER THERE WAS ONE.
hell no
It's amazing how far Tarantino has gotten without going to film school
Same went for James Cameron who was a truck driver and also self taught himself how to direct.
Oh contrary! He went to the same film school as I, the Dov Siemens weekend production crash course film school.
Has*
Some don't need to be taught. Some are meant to inspire and teach.
I'd argue one would make better films without film school. Theyre only to teach you how to make money in film industry. You can't really teach art.
How have I never known that Steve Buscemi played Buddy Holly until now!?
Pulp Fiction is the 2nd movie Ving Rhames has dealt with someone in a gimp suit 😆. "People under the Stairs" then "Pulp Fiction".
There is another Reservoir Dogs crossover: Linda Kaye. She is the one who shot Mr. Orange in the carjacking scene in Dogs, and then got shot by Marcellus in Pulp Fiction after Butch rolls him over in the car.

There's so many memorable scenes in Pulp Fiction. He's such a uniquely brilliant writer and director
I wouldn’t Wally call a masterful several minute monologue “essentially a cameo”
Travolta was the key to this whole thing the way he played Vega was timeless but everyone is great I just couldn’t imagine anyone else doing that role

Well when the n word flew he did the same and I told him the same thoughts I had in the theater. he came to his senses and said "ok ma, whatever". then a week later he invited his whole crew of black friends over to watch it because he was so blown away with how awesome it was. they all reacted the same, and he said the same thing to them. they ended up loving it. the dorm sounded like a party that night.
QT DOES NOT MISS, everything he’s ever made is
cinema/art in its purest form
death proof? no
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was a little weak ngl
@@lolo644 movie sucked, best part was all the way at the end when Pitt bombs that can at o girls face. That fight scene was the only good part of the entire thing.
Hateful 8 drug along for a bit longer than necessary.
I saw this at a packed dollar movie in '95 in a small East Texas town and you could hear a pin drop during the Marcellus and Butch scene in the basement of the pawn shop. Those folks weren't ready for that scene, and frankly neither was I. lol
Thought I saw all reviews of Pulp Fiction, but you managed to show new gems and funny quips!
Watch this movie with the mindset of "no one is any good at what they do" becuz from absolutely ery angle nobody is actually good at what they do. Jules and Vincent aren't good hit men, butch for whatever reason can't bring a watch to a boxing match, pumpkin and honeybunny are not good robbers. They treat robbing the customers as well as the store as a genius idea which they should have figured out a long time ago
This was a pretty cool little interesting video 💯☯️ Thanks
Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump are both among my favorite films of all time. Remember that Gump is more approachable than Pulp, hence why it won the Oscar. However, on a technical level Pulp Fiction is the better film.
FG is a good film, PF is a great film
My 2 favorite movies of all time, I've seen both dozens of times n neither ever gets old
Really? Tell us why Forest Gump is somehow a better film than Shawshank Redemption?
I remember my neighbor taking me to the theater to see this. When my mom found out what it was about she was not pleased…..I was 12 or 13.
Never noticed Steve Buscemi was the waiter dressed as Buddy Holly!
I didn't notice at first. Until he said "How 'bout you, Peggy Sue?" Something in his delivery instantly caught my attention.
I've always liked the theory that he's Mister Pink from Reservoir Dogs, reduced to working for tips!
@13:37 Taking from only 1 source is "plagerism", borrowing from multiple sources is "research". Every professional knows this
Nothing happened to Pulp. It’s still top 2-3 movies of 90s & top 20 of all time. It’s still the most original movie I’ve ever seen with a conventional story structure & I studied FMS ( Film& Media Studies) as my minor in college back in the day. Think Shawshank should’ve won best pic but Gump is a joke of a film. Every cheesy, predictable trope is in it. I wish I could have another experience like I did when I first saw this. Why tf isn’t this in 4K Dolby Vision yet!!!!
I am a sucker for the popcorn fun of Zemeckis films, but Forrest Gump annoys me greatly for some reason. It feels soulless. I don't feel that the Oscars are meaningful in the least, but I think it's good for filmmakers to be recognized for their dedication to making film an art form. "The Shawshank Redemption" is the far superior film, but it wasn't the financial and cultural juggernaut that "Forrest Gump" was. It's unfortunate, but I'm happy that "Shawshank" has received the recognition it deserves.
Single-handedly resurrected Travolta’s career
After Dogs and True Romance,I went into this film with MASSIVE expectations.....I was still Stunned By how awesome it was.
What do you mean “what happened to Pulp Fiction ?” ... it’s still a masterpiece
@3:11 - I never before noticed that cross on the wall in the shadow of the lamp. Nice touch Quentin.
The acting choices are perfect. No one else could pull this off.
Royale with cheese.
The most rewatchable movie ever made
I'd say true romance
This is in my top 5 of all time , great dialog and bizarre story 👍👍📽🎬
Great work on this one Joblo
Cool, the best dark comedy crime ever made.
SLATER! "it's fixin' to be a lot better man" thanks, loved PF.Particularly Tarantino's storage business👍
1:27 Bobby's World. You guys just made my day
A classic of a film. I remember the dozen of crappie imitators that followed. Still holds up.
This is my brother and I's favorite movie one of the first movies we ever agreed upon I lost my brother in 2011 and still to that day it was our favorite movie and inspired us to want to be filmmakers I will always miss my brother always a half of me is always going to be gone until that part of me reunites this film always reminds me of the love that we had for Cinema and for each other.
Sorry to hear of you losing your brother.
Loved it….one of my top ten favorite films.. Tarantino is the shit cant wait to see what he puts out next
Wonder if it has the same impact now.
Some films that have a huge impact change the grammar of movies and I feel they must not seem as firebrand or unique as when they were released.
Fight club and usual suspects fit here, I just don't think endings can have that impact anymore
Bruce Willis was always the same character until he met Quentin Tarantino.
One thing that took me decades to figure out was why Jules said "it's not quite time yet, let's hang back a minute" at Brett's door in the flophouse. What difference did a couple of minutes make? After watching a documentary on the Wonderland slayings where cokehead John Holmes casually unlocked a sliding glass door unseen that allowed ball bat wielding thugs to later enter the heavily guarded dealers' apartment the reason dawned on me. Marvin, Jules's inside man, opened the door at a prearranged time to let the two hitmen in without hindrance. "How many's up there?" "I dunno, three, four?" "That's counting our guy?" "Not sure." After the mayhem inside Brett's place that short conversation is long forgotten by moviegoers. Clever storytelling to be sure.
“What is best in life?””
“To crush your enemies, to see them driven out before you, and watching new joblo videos when they drop”
And hear the LametAtions of the women.
@@chasehedges6775 lol. That never gets old.
@@chasehedges6775 ruclips.net/video/_XUu3_pLPUE/видео.html
@@chasehedges6775 I agree. The “lamentations of their females” is the creme on the “best in life” strudel.
I still like to think that the briefcase in Pulp Fiction and the case in Ronin contained the same thing. I don't really have anything to prove this theory, I just like to think they do. Same thing with A Clockwork Orange and The Warriors taking place in the same universe.
A classic, I almost smashed my VCR for eating my Pulp Fiction tape.
Maybe I don’t understand but how can a film be an indie when you have MIRAMAX owned by Disney funding it and almost every one in it is a super star
This CLASSIC was on repeat during the "Cheater Box" days of 94'-96'. Early MMA fights.
Eddie Murphy as Jules would have been pretty amazing tbh.
I gotta agree.
Though Sam Jackson owns the role, I could see Eddie Murphy as Jules; his comedy always had an undercurrent of volatility, a simmering anger. And I could see his endless bickering with Vincent being comedic gold, as well as Murphy completely selling Jules' quiet menace in the final scene with Ringo.
I think actors known for mainly comedic roles can give absolutely chilling dramatic portrayals, e.g. Robin Williams in "One Hour Photo" or Don Rickles in "Casino".
I miss the 90's.
Love this channel
Pulp Fiction is great but it honestly had to grow on me. I first seen Pulp Fiction back in 2005 so I was 16 and I own the Blu-ray.
ive always wanted an alternate reality where certain classic movies like this were played by their initial choices for casting
One of the all time great films and certainly the best from my youth. Tarantino as regarded as he is, is still underrated.
hell no
The contents of the brief case is gold. Never was a big thing with me.
well done :) I still love this movie!
I love the Simpsons episode which imitated Pulp Fiction, 22 Short Films About Springfield
Or that Itchy and Scratchy bit where they spoofed the scene in Reservior Dogs where Blonde tortures a cop while dancing to Stuck in the Middle With You. Tarrantino himself even appears in the skit before getting killed by Itchy.
Steamed ham mmmm
0:10 Anybody know which movie this is? It'd be helpful if the uploader would just put the movie titles in one of the corners of the screen...
Still one of my favorite movies to this day I remember when it came out
I've just watched it again and it's a masterpiece. Especially when you consider today's mostly terrible big movies.
I just realised that Vince died because Jules retired. That's why he was at Butch's house on his own... IMHO 🤔
Every movie he makes is a masterpiece. First tarentino film I had pleasure of watching in a cinema was once upon a time in Hollywood and what a ride that was
Rented this great film from the library, saw it went it came out, a fun and cool film all around!So much to say about this film, but I'll try to be brief!The film that made Samuel L. Jackson a star, even though he had been around for awhile, this was his breakthrough, and a magnificent performance, and a charismatic and great performance by John Travolta, one of my favorite actors of all time! And the film that put. him back on top!He and Jackson are great !A great, cool, fun and magnificent film!
I didn't know Tarantino worked with Kermit!
great channel...but wheres the Jackie Brown video?!?
What's up with the random Chuck Norris scene at 10:19?
1.8 million is not 108 million... great video though
Great movie. And opening song
Nothing happened to Pulp Fiction. It is timeless...
Can't believe this movie is 28 years old
108 million looks like 1.8 million to me.
1:00 what was that movie name again?
There was a film released back in 1995 called Curdled, it began life as a short film that inspired part of Pulp Fiction. Interestingly it starred Angela Jones who is the taxi driver Esmerelda Villalobos, she drives Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) away from the building he boxed in, not to mention him killing the other boxer. I think Butch probably took it too literally, making a killing on his fight, even if it wasn’t intentional. This part is one of the most gripping in the film, as Butch ends up on the run for his life. Actually Angela Jones in Curdled, which I haven’t seen btw, plays Gabriela, a Columbian immigrant who works for a crime-scene clean-up service in Miami. The part of Pulp must be when Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel), gets Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L Jackson), to clean the car of blood, after Vincent accidentally shot Marvin (Phil LaMarr) in the face.
I think you mean it grossed 108, million, not 1.8.....
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed. Was not disappointed. Also, on a numeric keypad, the zero is next to the period so I understand how this happened.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don’t think Michael Madsen could have played Vinnie Vega. He just looks too smart. I would never believe Madsen would be so stupid as to require a please. That is the moment that makes every other Vega action make sense.
Madsens mr blonde and Vincent Vega are supposedly brothers.
@@K37-h1z yep, they were
I can see them as brothers.
Vic was the smart one. Psychopath, yes, but smart. I imagine he'd be the older brother, the one Vincent idolized, and tried to emulate. Vincent asking The Wolf for a "please" is the closest he could ever get to Vic's effortless "You gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁
Im 41 this is my favorite movie of all time and it’s not even close.
