You see kill Bill 1and 2
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ Do Smokey And The Bandit please!
You too be having the most amazing reactions to movies. This was another good reaction that y’all done. Very very wonderful reaction. I love it.
Asia: “Who’s Fonzie?”
BJ: “I don’t know.”
Me: “The next TV show you guys need to react to? Happy Days!”
"Who's Fonzie?" And my heart broke right then and there.
When they said that, I said "ahhh, FFS, I'm old"! 😆
The Fonz invented cool.
Literally stopped the video just to make this EXACT SAME COMMENT. 💔
I felt the exact same way when they were confused about the Fonz. We forget these kids our half our age and wasn’t around for Happy Days
Fonzi is a casualty of cable. It's a shame these generations didn't get reruns like they should've. Too many channels. I'm a kid of the 70s-80s but we all got a solid dose of TV from the 50s and 60s, movies from the 40s even. It's weird, how that all sortof stopped at GenX. It's only 10 years different, but they've missed out on 40-50 years of pop culture. Example, I grew up watching Abbott and Costello films on antenna TV. . . in the mid-80s. That's 40+ years after A&C were working, but it was still on TV. It's weird how culture dies. They simply stop exposing people to content and it's forgotten.
When this had come out in 1994, no one had seen anything like it. That's why it's such a classic. Groundbreaking.
Too true! I saw this opening night and I was instantly a Tarrentino fan! The dude is a mad scientist that loves all movies!
A clockwork orange
We were renting a ski house up by Rutland, VT and were looking for something to do because it was raining. “Let’s go to the movies!!”
It wasn’t a big crowd, but the peak of the evening was when most of the local Rutlanders watching the movie with us, stood up and left the cinema while poor Marcellus Wallace was being sodomized in the basement.
It was at that point I realized Mr. Tarantino was presenting a type of movie that no one had ever seen before. Genius! A new fan was born.
Almost 40 years later we still joke around…..”Do you remember that night we saw Pulp Fiction?”.
You're right about that. I remember seeing it in the theater years ago. Everyone was blown away.
@@MichaelLee-dt1iw Bro is living in 2033
This movie is the reason my family will randomly yell "SAY WHAT AGAIN!" at each other 🤣
same here 😂 we also use “this is a tasty burger” all the time.
Lol. I still yell, “Just get the shot!” to this day. Also, “Step aside Butch.”
Get the shot!
i use "check out the big brain on (their name)" when someone says something smart lol
@@psychobethaevery time I eat a burger 😅 you gotta say it like he did though. “This IS a tasty burger.” Also “Be cool, honey bunny.”
"He gave him the heat and left him on the toilet seat." BJ spitting bars as per usual!
"I shot Marvin in the face." - that line and the way it was delivered is one of the best moments in this movie.
*one of the best moments in movies
think i read somewhere that the script just said for travolta to say “i shot marvin” , but travolta asked if he could add “in the face” .. he thought it seemed funnier in that situation.. he was right!
That line (and what led to in seconds before) is never not funny.
when I first saw this as soon as he turned around I knew the gun would go off
I wonder what Alec Baldwin said?
The scene where Mia OD's is because you can't snort heroin like you can cocaine. She thought it was coke because it was wrapped in a plastic baggy. The dealer told Vincent he was out of balloons, which is what heroin was wrapped in back in the day so people could tell the difference.
Also, because it was easier to, .. um, secrete a balloon of narcotic in a cavity than a plastic bag. A plastic bag of pot or coke would just be eaten, snorted, dumped.
Or so I heard from, ya' know movies and stuff.
You can snort heroin. But stay away from that life destroyer. Mia was a cokehead so she had no tolerance to heroin. She did a massive line of heroin assuming it was cocaine and so she overdosed.
You can snort heroin but Vincent was carrying very white looking, mad man heroin in a plastic bag which she mistook for coke and OD'd. Heroin isn't generally snorted because it takes longer to work but junkies like a quick fix. Also, the above reply is correct, the balloon is used because it's easier to swallow or secrete. Another thing that I heard is when Butch runs over Marcellus, Marcellus was fetching coffee and donuts for Vincent.
You can snort it’s because she doesn’t do heroin and she took a big line of the mad man that she od’d
I'm sorry but as an ex heroine addict yes you can,I've even had a friend OD and die from snorting heroine, so yes you can anything that's water soluble you can crush and snort,not trying to put you down just telling you your wrong, you have a wonderful day hope I gave you good information.
This movie resurrected John Travolta's film career. So many great actors and actresses in this. The dance scene is a great homage to Travolta's role in Saturday Night Fever. He's a trained broadway dancer.
Tarantino tends to do that, resurrecting careers. It also made Samuel a star, He played smaller roles before pulp fiction.
Pulp Fiction also helped boost Bruce Willis’ career as well
@@tawhidemtiazjahangir621 Willis was already a mega star at the time and he had a then really high minimum of $10 mil per picture requirement. He waived that to appear in this once he read the script. Did it enhance his career? Absolutely. But he was already A list and in high demand.
@@donpietruk1517 gotcha
@@michaeltabor2077 Bruce Willis was in Die Hard, not Travolta. The film Saturday Night Fever made Travolta a star, although he was already known from the TV show Welcome Back Kotter.
The shot was pure adrenaline - not the new shot they have nowadays. This was old school adrenaline to the heart to revive her.
They didn’t know it was heroin that Vincent had and she thought it was cocaine. Snorted straight heroin.
@@acen2709"I'm all outta balloons, baggies work?"
"Yeah that's fine."
This movie did tons for many careers. Jackson was an overnight superstar, Travolta suddenly getting big money roles again, etc. Just one of those movies that clicks right in every way.
But at this time Tarantino said he was lucky to get Willis bc bruce was literally one of the biggest stars in the world, good thing Tarantino is probably the best movie maker ever
@@ScottyDoesntKnow69 I prefer Wes Anderson but he's on my Mt Rushmore for sure.
Sam Jackson had been in a good few movies before Pulp fiction, the only career it helped was John Travolta
@@moviemaniac7945 Sam Jackson was a reasonably well-known character actor before this movie (see his scene in "Coming to America") but this movie definitely turned him into the A-List star we know
@@MrJholshouser41 LOVE Rushmore!!!
Fonzie was a character from an old tv show called Happy Days. “The Fonz” was played by Henry Winkler. Great reaction
If Henry were dead and in a grave, he'd be spinning in it..."who's Fonzie?" Wow
Aaay
It almost hurts that there is now a large swathe of the population that can earnestly say “who’s Fonzie” 🤯
Growing up I had a drinking cup with a moving Fonz photo on it.
You hold it one way he was combing his hair.
You twist it a little and he's got his hands out going 'Aayy'.
I kept it at my grandpa's house and when he died my aunt threw it away before I could collect it. 😭
He was probably the most famous television character of the 80s. I actually had him on my lunch box when I was a kid. 🙂
Asia's face during the dungeon scene is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS I DIED LAUGHING
Asia's giving me some Angela Bassett vibes. Am I right?
@@seanswinton6242 indeed she does
"Hit him with the heat, left him next to the toilet seat" Great line!
This one is an all time classic that will never get old...Everyone in this film did an outstanding job...I`ve seen this movie a hundred times and I still can't get enough of it.
My headcanon says that the thing in the briefcase was the script for this movie, and the quality of the script was why it glowed gold.
I can literally re watch this movie every day for the rest of my life. The twists, the back and fourth, the character development, the nit knowing wtf the movie is taking u!!! Desthproof and Jackie Brown
Rosario Dawson and the legendary Pam Greer!! Quentins casting is phenomenal
Early rumors suggested it was Marsellus’ soul; I think it was just Quentin’s tribute to old school adventure flicks that used a gold glow reflecting on the faces of characters finding gold.
The film is just a masterpiece!
I think it was printing plates to print money
Heroin usually would go in a balloon, at least back then. If you go back when he buys the stuff earlier the guy says he's only got baggies. So she assumed it was cocaine.
Glad you guys watched this one it's a fun ride!
OMG I never made that connection. TIL. Thank you.
@@potterj09 Jack No 7 is all you need brother!
A bun”10”.with a little rubber ban, Around 10 small wax like little bags. The C is in plastic. Foil was early 90s for C. No more. Where I’m from.
I did not know this. TY.
This is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time. The scenes are out of order and jump around. Chronologically, the first scene is the scene in the car where Vincent and Jules are discussing The Royal With Cheese. Then comes the apartment shootout, then the Bonnie incident with The Wolf. Then the diner scene with Ringo and Honeybunny robbing the joint. After that Vincent and Jules bring the briefcase to Marsalis at the club where we first meet Butch taking the money to throw the fight. At that point, Jules resigns and tells Marsalis that he’s done being a hitman. From there Vincent picks up his dope and goes on the date with Mia and that whole crazy scene happens with the O.D. At the same time as their date, Butch is double-crossing Marsalis and winning the fight. Then we cut to the next morning when Butch goes to retrieve the watch. Since Jules retired, Marsalis goes with Vincent to wait for Butch at his apartment. He’s out getting donuts when Vincent is shot. That’s when Butch hits him with his car while leaving his apartment, leading to the Gimp incident. The final scene in the movie would be Butch taking off on Zed’s Chopper with his girlfriend.
I think it's all right apart he's called Marsellus Wallace.
What are the other two?
@GypsyPoet420 - Also one of my favorite movies of all time. Just wondering if you have specific movies in the other slots of your top 3. I'd like to watch them if I haven't seen them yet. I'm not exactly sure what would be in my top 5 list... but the Matrix trilogy (counting as one) is probably one of them. Breaking Bad for a TV series... but what other movies compare to Pulp Fiction for the unique storytelling, incredible cast, and endless surprises?
@@zedxxx9 You're not asking me, but I love the seventh art so I will try to tell you my top 5 without counting Pulp Fiction and The Matrix. Fight Club, Seven, Snatch, True Lies and any other Tarantino's movie. There's so many, it's hard picking just 5.
In the series category, not counting Breaking Bad, I would pick Scrubs, The Big Bang Theory, The Shield (with Michael Chiklis) The Office and Doctor House.
If you want more just ask LOL
@@almostdarkslide3851-- Thanks for list! Just the fact that you have some of my favorites in your top 5 list tells me I should watch the ones I've missed... Fight Club (which I've been told numerous times is an essential) and Snatch. I will check them out shortly. Nothing like a good thrill ride. In case you don't already know, the new Mission Impossible movie (it's the first part of a 2 movie story) is really quite good. I was not a huge Mission Impossible fan before that, but it got me revisiting the earlier movies and enjoying them more than most other action movies I have seen over years. That's not really for the "top 5" list, but it is definitely a fun thrill ride, in case you happened to miss it. Thanks again!
The one take hallway dialogue. That whole entire shut the trunk and go upstairs to the foot massage to knocking on the apartment door was one single shot done in one take. Respect to Travolta and Jackson.
Love how Jules realized divine intervention spared his life, quit the life, and lived. Vincent on the other hand didn't and had a series of terrible incidents after and was killed.
Vince was a smack head and had a dangerous career. It was only a matter of time before he died. BTW, constipation is synonymous with heroin use, which is why Vega was in the toilet so much.
@kisstina - you've hit upon the point of the movie.. Redemption! Jules took Karma's sign to heart and lived. Vincent? No so much. And to a lesser degree both Butch and Marcellus demonstrated compassion to the other, and consequently won't spend their lifetimes hunting or hiding.
Interesting. I never thought of it like that.
If you put the film in chronological order, it's a story about a boxer who's going to throw a fight for a huge payday then double crosses a big-time gangster and goes on the run. He redeems himself when he goes back in the store and saves Marcellus and the last image in the story is literally Butch and Fabienne 'riding off in the sunset' on Zed's chopper...
Dude danced his ass off at least
A non linear masterpiece.
It shocks you at first because we're so used to linear storytelling but the rewatchability is way high because of the uniqueness of it all. This is my favorite film of all time.
Tarantino is the best at presenting a non linear story. This is one of my top movies but I think that Inglorious Basterds is Tarantino's best movie.
@@brianjohnston7960 I would put Christopher Nolan up there also. Memento & The Prestige for example.
...anything Coen Bros! Them and Quentin take the CAKE!
@@CharlieGroh I love me some coen brothers Fargo is such a classic
Reservoir Dogs!!!
I will never not laugh at how Travolta calmly says "aw man I shot Marvin in the face" 😆
Like he dropped a blob of ice cream or something
The whole theatre laughed when that happened when I was in it. Definitely the first time I'd seen that as a mass reaction to someone getting their head blown off.
This movie came out when I was a senior in college and it showed at the on campus theater. Can you imagine several hundred college students watching this at the same time in 1994. It was so different from anything else at the time. And because of it I have watched every single one of Quinton's movies.
"Hit him with the heat, and left him next to the toilet seat" I'm dieing over here. 😂 Asia's reaction to it was priceless also!
bro just freestyled in the middle of a reaction lmao respect
You never know when those 🔥🔥🔥 bars are gonna hit you.
One of the coolest, most original films in cinema history. A true cult classic.
My favorite
I'll never forget that my sister-in-law had heard good things about this movie so took her grandmother to go see it. Also, the "final" diner scene was about in the middle of the story, chronologically speaking.
Hopefully Granny was really really open-minded! rofl
This was @ the time the most creative,innovative refreshing flick. Born in the 60's understood all the references i.e. fonzi,Ed sullivan,etc. Throughly relish this gem of a movie
Gen X like Tarantino prides itself on pop culture references and his movies have them.
The dialogue in pretty much every Tarantino film is a work of absolute genius.
Welcome to the '90s! Whether its movies, music or life itself, the '90s was a wonderfully dark and twisted time.
I never much liked the '90s when living through them. To me, those years felt sort of directionless, like they had no particular flavor in of themselves (unlike how you can immediately place 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s movies, fashion and music), but in retrospect I realize whole slews of favorite movies of mine, including groundbreaking timeless classics, came out in that decade.
I even feel quite a bit of nostalgia now for the 1990s. Man, how things change, eh.
This is definitely one that needs to be seen more than once. I've seen it a few times and like it more every time. This was a big sensation when it came out, and half the indie directors, it seemed like, were trying to emulate Tarantino's dialogue. Plus it made stars of Uma Thurman and Sam Jackson, and revived the careers of Bruce Willis and John Travolta, who had been in slumps.
Pulp Fiction is one of the most famous examples of nonlinear storytelling. Even though you are viewing the scenes play in a different order than the story's timeline, it's ultimately a lot more interesting and dramatic as a result. For example, the last scene in the movie (the diner) takes place in the middle of the story; but you already know that Vincent dies at the end of the story (because you watched it earlier in the film), which makes the argument between Vincent and Jules about whether to quit a life of crime much more poignant.
Most people are not 100% sure of the story's timeline the first time they watch Pulp Fiction, which also encourages you to go watch it again, now that you understand the structure of the film. On second watch, you appreciate the tapestry of the film's interconnected plotlines even more.
On the DVD special addition there is an easter egg that allows you to watch the move in chronological order. Very interesting to see it that way.
@@UPturbinefan How do you get that easter egg?! I HAD the DVD for years and never knew that! 😅
But then you dive down deeper and realize that if Jules didn’t quit because of the missed shots, Vincent wouldn’t have been solo at Butch’s apartment and both would’ve lived.
There are SO many layers to this movie. Truly genius.
Kubrick's "The Killing" does a lot more with nonlinear storytelling.
@@seancampbell117 Vincent wasn't alone in the appartement, he was with Marcellus, who just happened to go out for a sec for some coffee and bagels (?)
That's why Butch and Marcellus coincidentally meet at the intersection.
In August of 1994 I was in my room playing Super Metroid or something when my dad came in and asked me if I wanted to see the new Bruce Willis movie. Since Bruce Willis had replaced Arnold as my favorite actor at 13 years old I said yes. We went and seen Pulp Fiction. I went from a kid who liked movies to hardcore cinephile overnight. I now own movies on DVD and Blu Ray that go back to 1894, a hundred years before Pulp Fiction released. I've watched movies from every decade they have existed and all because Bruce Willis was the coolest man who ever lived in my eyes at the time. The movie blew me away like nothing before and is still in my top 5 of all time.
I feel like our dads would get along well. My dad definitely encouraged my love of movies and brought me to shit he probably shouldn’t have. Haha
Major props to Bruce, and my heart goes out to him for what he's going through these days.
On that note, I don't think a single reaction channel has touched 12 monkeys. At least, none of the (1, 2, 3...) 14+ that I subscribe to. C'mon Asia & BJ, get in on the ground floor there. It's actually a fantastic transition from this movie, as far as being a head trip, and Bruce is the man in it (as is Brad Pitt ). Begging you!!
Super Metroid is as much a masterpiece in games, that Pulp Fiction was in films. My girlfriend beat it last week her 1st time, that was fun. I even have a complete in box Japanese Super Famicom box of Super Metroid. So damn good.
Bruce is the man. You're a BW fan from the 80's (the single greatest decade ever), I assume you remember the show that started it all for Bruce..."Moonlighting"
Man, I loved that show when I were a lad. Jumpstarted Bruno's career. He was excellent in it.
12 monkeys? Try itsAprimate, mellverse, Brandon likes movies.
Those are a couple reactors I saw that did that movie.
There are so many things in this movie that you don't catch if you don't pay close attention. But one of my favorite things to think on is when Butch goes back to rescue Marcellus, that gets him the keys for the chopper so he can get her and Fabienne out of town before Marcellus changes his mind. The chopper is named Grace.
Which means that Butch and Fabienne were delivered from evil on the wings of Grace.
Most movies you gotta watch a thew times to find these things or watch video on it 😅😅
The look on Bruce Willis face was priceless, like he was actually seeing something he could've believe..loved how the movie was shot in reverse..good reaction as always .😘
The “I gotta stab her three times?” Always kills me 😂
Vincent's such a smart ass he can't keep his mouth shut.
I choked on "Who's Fonzi?" This was an all-time reaction. Absolutely love you two! Keep up the great work.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kids.🤷♂🤷♂ I thought Fonzie transcended generations.
@@jakerazmataz852 Man, shit got me feeling so old. I mean, Happy Days went off the air several years before I was born but that just goes to show, the new generation has the option to watch whatever they want while I had to sit through reruns.
When he asked "who's Fonzi?" I was like....my god I'm old.
Right! I was like...huh? And then I realized exactly how long ago Happy Days was on! Hell...the Fonz himself is 77 years old! It really hit me how old I am!
Yeah, Imma go get some Geritol now😂😂😂
18:58 Christopher Walken is amazing. Tarantino always loves to write long dialogues/ monologues. This scene is just incredible.
This is one of the most wholesome and authentic reactions to one of the most gruesome and (thankfully) fictional stories ever told... Thanks for covering a classic y'all 🙌🏽
There are real life stories of kidnappers keeping their victims in boxes like this. Some real whack jobs, this just gives you a tiny taste of that sadistic world.
@@ShawNshawN True
I'm sitting here hoping you guys react to more of Tarentino's films and laughing my ass off at Asia getting the "ketchup" joke line and BJ's straight face. Love you guys!
I don't think she was so much laughing at the joke straight up on its own merit. She was laughing more to troll BJ and at how dumb the joke was.
Their reaction is way funnier than the joke.
some people just have that laugh that can crack a whole room up on its own. Asia has that.
It took a minute for the penny to drop!
Same 😂😂
Some people are surprised that Travolta danced so well. In fact, his breakout Hollywood role was in Saturday Night Fever, when he demonstrated some really wild disco dancing moves.
Travolta was a trained Broadway dancer
Fun fact: Travolta was ask to Improvise the dance well look irritating. He thought how am I supposed to do that for so long, Until he heard this song he absolutely hated that song
Travolta also danced in Michael, Grease, and Stayin Alive. Urban Cowboy. The man can dance!
fun fact: he dances in every movie he's been in
@@garvinkelly I don't remember the dancing scene in Battlefield Earth. But then again, I don't remember much about that movie.
BJ: "Give it to her-Give it to her-Don't let her die!"
Asia: "Ooh-nahhh-you should just let her dieee....." 😬💉🪦😭
Asia's slow digestion of the Fox Force Five joke and how she slowly started cracking up was just THE BEST REACTION.
Also, in Captain America: Civil War, there is a direct reference to this movie near the end.
The weird references are ones like in the Bad Guys. They had the diner scene replayed and I'm laughing because I'm waiting for the honey bunny line... and can't explain why to my kids.
She also says: "The Potato" after hearing it lol.
My favorite QT movie. When Butch and Fabienne ride off on Zed’s chopper is the actual chronological end of the story. It is just much more engaging the way it is told in a non-linear fashion. Enjoyed your reaction. 😎👍
Therefore, "Zed's dead" means a number of things; 1. A statement about the end of the chronological narrative, 2. The fact that Americans(USA) say "Zee" instead of "Zed" and 3. Zed, the character, is presumed to be dead
Tarantino shows you what you need to know to propel the overall narrative and get a visceral reaction, regardless of the actual order of events. The pacing of the film as a film works great in this way, even if there's some minor confusion with the time jumps in the story on first watch. He trusts his audience, which is a refreshing change of pace from most films that break the fundamental "show, don't tell" rule.
When Butch is telling his girl that his dad went through a lot to get that watch... the look on BJ's face was priceless as he whispers "a lot"
Micky rourke was offered that part but he knocked it back so Bruce Willis played it
Saw this movie in theater when it came out. It was revolutionary in film making. Its a classic!
The adrenaline shot scene is SOO damn tense, it’s like masterful film making.
The shot of the needle, then the dealer, then vincent, then the dealer's girl, he's just draaaaaggging the audience into it lol.
You guys should definitely check out more of Quentin Tarantino work!! Kill bill 1&2 are classics! Samuel L Jackson is in a lot of his work. I think you’ll like Jackie brown as well, another Tarantino classic
.. what about Dusk Till Dawn?
Was he only an actor in that one?
@@johnO21 Yeah, that was Robert Rodriguez.
Reservoir Dogs
JACKIE BROWN!!!!
I cracked up when you guys said "this movie is weird" before the pawn shop scene 🤣🤣. Amazing reaction! I hope you do the rest of the Tarantino filmography!
I hope they save "Inglourious Basterds" for last
@@charleslee8313 Ditto
By the mid 1990s I had given up on movies as they just seemed to be repeats from the past. Then my nephew loaned me Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Fight Club on DVD. That got me back to enjoying movies again.
Nice shirt Asia - Go Detroit Lions!
The look on Asia's face for the last twenty minutes of the movie is my favorite thing ever.
Second time watching Pulp Fiction took it from "Huh?" to "Wow" for me. It all makes perfect sense and is so much more fun when you know all the different pieces & can piece them together.
This was a pivotal film in the history of filmmaking. Tarantino was the golden boy of the revival of the “indie” art film. He had just created a name for himself with Resevoir Dogs and then this. No one had seen this. Amazing story telling, engaging dialogue, humor, the grit and grime of 70s film with a healthy dose of the shock and gore of B movies and, well, Pulp Fiction novels. This film in particular made out of sequence story telling more popular and regularly used outside of art films. And to think Tarantino did all this without any formal training in filmmaking. He just absorbed it from his job in a video store. This film was so popular among me and my art friends that I had the whole script memorized at one point.
You should also check out Robert Rodriguez and his early works. El Mariachi is his first full film I think and is in Spanish. Desperado is his first in English and is sort of a sequel to it which features Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas. Rodriquez did some interesting self-financing of his films including getting breast implants and other human subject research for money. Dude is dedicated to his craft.
Loved watching you (hopefully) enjoy a film that had a huge impact on me when it came out.
It was even more shocking in 1994, when we weren't really used to the back-and-forth of a narrative. "Fonzie" was a character on the TV show "Happy Days" in the 1970s, played by Henry Winkler. Fonzie was super COOL. (And a reminder that that word goes back to the Fifties, and has never gone away!) He could slap a jukebox, and his favorite song was start. That kind of thing. ;)
Until he "jumped the shark" 🤣
I met Henry WInkler at a car show in Detroit and he's an incredibly nice guy. He made me lift my hat up to get a better picture with him lol.
@@Chris.Davis.2 Ah! yes! that whole thing!
the briefcase glow is the most cryptic thing in this movie. people get in arguments about it. some say it's gold. some say it's Marcellus Wallace's soul
Quentin Tarantino at his finest. An all-star cast! I can watch this a million more times! My favorite scene was when Vincent had to stab her in the heart with the huge needle. The one guy said 1-2-3. Vincent said "Do I stab her 3 times?" LOL! That scene was intense! When she sat up & the needle was sticking out of her chest! DAMN! Great reaction!! Love your shirt Asia! Lions did great this year.
One of those times a supporting actor steals the show... Samuel L Jackson delivers one of the all time great performances, sort of like Joe Pesci did in Goodfellas, can't imagine anyone else in these roles.
I've never understood why SLJ was considered the supporting actor. He was the star in a big cast in my opinion!
@@paulgutierrez7275 In as much as this is an ensemble cast movie, I kind of think of everyone as a supporting actor... however Samuel L Jackson gave an incredible performance and really stole the show, so it's fair to call him the outright star of the film, he earned that. There was really no central role to the plot, just several stories woven together.
Saw this as a preview to a cold audience of coworkers who got free passes, and didn't know what they were in for. The packed audience went NUTS. One of the best theater experiences ever.
I agree about the theater experience. I was in college when it came out. When they closed in on that needle right before Vincent stabbed Mia in the heart with it - Man, you could hear the gasps in the audience and feel the tension. Was definitely thrilling
I seen it in the theater at 14 years old. I’ve never had an experience in the theater like that since
@@adesolaspeller857 That sequence of shots is one of the best bits of film making in the entire art form. I'm sure it's a reference to 8 different movies, The Good the Bad and the Ugly come to mind, but it is just masterful movie making. It's almost distracting how good it is.
Jackie Brown is another Tarantino classic. Samuel Jackson, DeNiro, Pam Grier…it’s definitely worth watching
Yes Jackie Brown is a must watch!!
The soundtrack to Jackie Brown is awesome too.
@@pampennyworth absolutely, I have it. Love the Delfonics.
Agreed, he started to lose me with Kill Bill. Also Reservoir Dogs. Fantastic.
As outstanding as Pulp Fiction is, I generally prefer watching Jackie Brown more. Not a bad performance in the movie and the chemistry between Forster & Grier is outstanding.
“He got brains in his jerri curl” is maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever heard when watching this movie 😂 you guys are fantastic
The theory that the briefcase held Marcellus Wallace's soul fits with Divine Intervention in the apartment. Because Jules and Vincent were on a holy mission to retrieve and return a man's immortal soul to him is why they were unaffected by the bullets.
Awesome to see you two watch this. This is a fantastic film. And the dance where Vincent moved his fingers in front of his eyes was what Batman did in the Adam West show in an episode. I believe it’s called the Batusi. Great reaction guys!
Watusi. It’s only the Batusi when Batman does it.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Okay, so this has become the top trivia fact of the week. XD
My favorite go to movie of all time!! Love it!! My husbands favorite saying is "calm down Hunny Bunny"🤣🤣
My wife and I had this on VHS. Watched a million times. Just ran into reactions of it. It's kinda cool watching someone see it for the first time.
Fonzie is a character from Happy Days. The same actor who played Fonzie also plays the principal in the original Scream. He's also a children's author. His name is Henry Winkler.
Every scene is iconic. The first time I watched it, I was living overseas and a friend got it on a pirate copy. The quality wasn’t good. At the end, my friend said, “I don’t know if that’s the best film I’ve ever seen, or the worst.” I went to watch it in the cinema about a month later and it’s definitely one of the greatest movies ever made. It gets better every time I watch it. Every scene is iconic.
It’s interesting what your friend said - because that’s almost exactly what Travolta said about doing this movie - he thought it would either be the best film or the worst film he was ever in. It ended up revitalizing his career.
@@peterandjunko how did it revitalize his career? He had only done one movie before this.
@@BruhBruh-wc6qv One movie? He was in a ton of stuff before this, including Saturday Night Fever Grease, among others. Plus the popular 70s TV show Welcome Back Kotter.
@@andrew77961 holy shit my bad. I read that as "Tarantino" not "Travolta" 😂
I SAW IT IN PARIS!!! SO ALL THE FRENCH CRACKED UP WHITH THE QUARTER POUNDER BIT!
This movie was full of stars. It has so many memorable lines and is one of my faves.
When Travolta's character opened that briefcase and you asked why is it shining ? what's inside ? 6:44 It's the shiny middle weight championship belt that belong to the boxer (Bruce Willis' character) the guys in the apartment were holding it as collateral waiting for the boxer to "take a dive and throw the match". He didn't do it and now Marsalles wanted it, but those guys wanted to keep it, which is why they got the visit from the hitmen.
Hearing a Tarantino interview a while back where he admitted that he never had an actual "thing" in the case, but wanted it to be up to the viewers imagination....
This is the greatest fan theory I've heard so far! Nicely done.
I like it better that it doesn't even matter whats in the box, the box is just QT being a master filmmaker who can play an audience like a fiddle.
I love these two. Been binge watching these classic movies with them. “Who’s Fonzi?” broke me. 😂. BJ, everyone always wanted to know what was in the briefcase. Many theories but nobody knows.
What a great surprise reaction today! Tarantino is a master of his craft! Would love to see the two of you react to all of his movies
Yeah, I got a big smile when I saw this in my feed. I knew they were gonna be playing catch-up most of the time🤣
I think Jackie Brown was his best work even though he didn't write it.
@@RustyX2010 No one ever talks about Jackie Brown but it is his second best movie...BY FAR;)
This was great watching you two. All the "WHAT?" faces you both made throughout the movie were priceless. The laughs, the shocked faces, the "Huh?" made this such a great reaction video. I can't wait for more.
YOU TWO HAVE ME DYING OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR REACTIONS ARE GOLD!!!!!!!!!!
I saw it many times in the theater the fall of ‘94. It was so unique, fresh and original for the time. The soundtrack, the dialogue and how it’s filmed out of chronological order…it was completely groundbreaking. Still is!
This movie changed everything and is when Quentin Tarantino became an icon. I remember sitting in the theater during the adrenaline shot scene. We were all hiding like Asia. I was crouched hiding behind the seat in front of me. 🤭
"Fonzie" is an iconic character from the TV show "Happy Days". He was the epitome of cool and everyone loved him. Your elders watched that show every week for years. Ask them who Fonzie is. They might put up both thumbs 👍🏼 and say "Aaayyyy" 😊
One thing about Tarantino's movies is that he usually leaves something up to the viewer to decide on. In this instance it's, what's in the briefcase? Tarantino has said many times in interviews that there is no real answer, it's up to the viewer to decide what they think is in the briefcase.
My favorite scene was when Mia OD’d on the heroin. It’s so tense and funny at the same time. Especially when Vincent drops Mia on the lawn in front of Lance’s house. And when Lance is fighting with his wife about the medical book. I think that was the best part of the movie!
Absolutely hilarious scene. From start to finish
Best start to a film, ever! You instantly know you're in for something extraordinary. 😊
Also, I remember losing my mind to the soundtrack. QT runs full-concept as a writer/director. The writing, themes, soundtrack, art direction, the non-linear plot development, etc. -- he creates a new world, everytime. Complete absorption. 💯
The "Bonnie Situation" one of the most iconic parts of a movie in the history of all movies!
Harvey Keitel was brilliant as The Wolf.
Especially since we never got to see Bonne
He told the story of the watch to instil in the kid to know how important it is and what people went through to get it to him. You don't just hand the kid a fairly normal watch without it's history.
Y'all reactions really crack me up! I didn't think I would like film reactions since they're much longer than music ones but you two are great. Keep up the good work!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I quote it all the time. "You're bringing in the wolf. Shoot negro, that's all you had to say." It is so damn weird though. You have no idea what is going to happen next. It took me watching it several times to really understand what was going on. The art of good dialogue in a movie. Mastered.
This movie came out in my second year of college and it was HUGE. Everybody was quoting it, and you could often hear Misirlou or Jungle Boogie or Son of a Preacher Man playing in the dorms. I'm not sure if you changed your audio processing or not, but it was perfect, thanks. Loved your great reaction to this truly great film!
This soundtrack was hot hot fire that year.
Your faces when Vincent Vega discovers Mia OD'g are just too precious. I'm sure my expression was exactly the same when I first saw this in the theaters.
This HAS to be one of the greatest films ever made - it just has to be!
To think that a movie that is - essentially- about violence and drug taking is such a timeless masterpiece seems like a nonsense, really. Only Tarantino could pull it off - the dark humour (yep, it gets pretty dark!) and suspense is superb. What’s unique about QT films is his ability to mix in sound tracks to become an integral part of the film. I mean, every time I hear that Al Green track I’m instantly brought back to that scene when Travoltas character walks into Marcellos bar.
Love it!
I had the soundtrack on Cd!
One thing Tarantino excels at is writing. The dialog is always engaging, and he always writes a deeper world than you initially notice. Some of my favorite story bits I learned:
-Butch is probably the one who keyed Vincent's car.
-They didn't win the twist contest, they stole the trophy. You can overhear it on a radio as butch is sneaking toward his apartment the next morning.
-Marsellus was probably walking back to Butch's apartment. He had a box of donuts and 2 coffees. He was probably staking out Butch's apartment with Vincent, and stepped away for some breakfast.
Mind blown...I have seen this movie dozens of times and never caught that...they stole the trophy 😅
And they probably thought it was going to be the most boring stakeout because there was no way Butch would come back to his apartment. So, why not relax and enjoy some donuts and coffee?
Yes, Tarantino confirmed in an interview that Butch was the one that keyed Vince's car. He also said that it was a complete coincidence that Mia was supposed to tell a joke in every Fox Force Five episode, while Travolta got his start on Welcome Back, Kotter, where they told a joke at the end of every episode.
Jules would have been there staking out Butch's apartment instead of their boss and wouldn't have left Vincent alone -- only the boss can do that -- if not for the divine intervention that inspired Jules to get off that path he was on.
And the bathroom use is related to Vincent's heroin use.
@@leonardshevlin7260 Oooh, never heard that theory. Interesting. So God saved Butch too? Hmmmm.
Yeah, did know Vincent's constipation is a side effect of Heroin. So many little nuggets in the story.
This movie is a trip! You said at the end that the movie started at the end, but.... it actually starts in the middle lol. Chronologically:
- Vincent goes to buy the heroin
- Vincent and Jules go to the apartment to get the briefcase, almost get shot, then take Marvin with them
- Vincent shoots Marvin in the car, they go to Jimmy's house to get cleaned up
- Vincent and Jules go for breakfast/robbery scene
- Vincent and Jules go to drop off the briefcase to Marcellus/Butch meets with Marcellus to fix the fight
- Vincent takes Mia out for the date/ Mia overdoses
- Butch doesn't throw the fight, goes back to get his watch, and kills Vincent who is waiting for him.
- Butch runs over Marcellus who ran out to grab coffee while waiting with Vincent for Butch (why he was so close to Butch's apartment)
- Pawn shop scene, Butch leaves LA
I'm glad you mentioned the Butch / Marseilles thing as many people believe that to be a coincidence when it clearly isn't. 👍
Actually, chronologically the first thing happening is Butch getting the gold watch as a kid. And when Vincent goes to the bathroom, bad stuff always happens (Butch's apartment, Marcellus's house, the diner)
I don't think this is correct: Vincent shots his heroin at Lance's place and he's sober when he goes for the briefcase, where he's high picking Mia at Marcellus' place. Also: at the point Vincent is at Lance's he's already got his car keyed which was probably Butch's reaction to their little "chat" at the bar.
@@proosee yeah getting the heroin may my in the wrong order, I just didn't think it was immediately following dropping off the briefcase because of the clothes... but that's a good point that it could've been Butch keying his car- maybe it was a couple of days later or the next day or whatever that he went to get the heroin.
@@brozy5720 haha I think I block out the scene with Butch as a kid from my memory, it's so uncomfortable to watch - but yes technically it would be first, even though it's a flashback so actually it would be right before the fight!
Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest movies ever. It's a roller coaster ride. So rewatchable.
Asia laughing at the tomato joke made my day.😂
ketch-up!
Always comes down to how people handle the pawn shop scene.
That scene is hilarious but also just so badass
I don't understand what's so hard to understand? The gimp is a sexual masochist who lives imprisoned in a sex dungeon as a sex slave to be used by his masters to fulfill their deviant sexual desires. It's not that people don't understand, it's that they don't want to understand. People like this exist. The world is a fucked up place. The underbelly of society is organized crime, but organized crime also has an underbelly.
@@JWar- - What on Earth are you talking about? Who said anything about people not understanding anything?
The last scene isn't actually the last scene. The last actual scene in the timeline is Butch and his girl riding away. Zed's Dead Baby. Vincent Vega was in his apartment waiting for him, and he killed him with his own gun. Loved the moving timeline of this movie. Made it more interesting.
Quentin Tarantino is a genius director. His story telling style is unique and keeps everyone paying attention. He starts at the end, jumps to the middle, and tells multiple stories at the same time but not always in their proper sequence. But they always come together in the end and almost everyone watching get that ah haa moment when all the puzzle pieces finally come together at the end of the movie.
His camera angels are unique as well and gives his audience a rich and diverse viewing perspective.
Quinton Tarantino also appears in most if not all of his movies. In this one he's the friend of Vincent's who helped them after Vince shot the young man in the face in the backseat of the car. In the Bonnie Situation chapter.
Imagine watching this movie as
A 14 year old in the theater with zero expectations. Messed me up!
Henry Winkler played Fonzie on the Happy Days sitcom. Fonzie was the super cool character and always has girls around him. Fonzie's main idol was James Dean. Henry Winkler is a great actor. Some of his movies include the water boy with Adam Sandler. And Night Shift with Shelly long and Michael Keaton.
He was one of the most famous characters in America in the 70s. At least until he jumped the shark.
Night Shift is another excellent movie that they should react to.
They already saw him in scream as the principal.
@@sweetkiss119 I remember but they may have not seen him as Fonzi in the TV sitcom. Pointed it out so they can get the reference.
@@Uriahjw oh yeah I’m sure they have never heard of happy days considering some of the epic movies they have t seen either.
"True Romance" is another great Quinton Tarantino movie. It's one of his earliest and best with a ton of famous cameos.
1. To borrow from Eminem(?) " the music, the music, the music..."
2. Red Apple cigarettes are introduced here when Vincent orders them in the bar. We see them in several other QT movies. Most notably the full length TV commercial at the end of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"
3. Both of y'all had the most incredible reactions throughout this. I've seen this movie many times. It was great to watch it through fresh eyes.
Big kahuna burgers
In this world, there's two kind of people: Those who understand (and immediately love) Pulp Fiction like it is second nature to them and those who are confused and sometimes even irritated by it.("WTF did I just watch? This sh¡t doesn't make any sense."
And I ain't gonna judge either side. I know which kind I belong.
I saw this movie when it first came out in 94, and it blew my mind! It was like the movie didn’t have a true starting point or ending point. You jumped into the middle of the story and looped around till you got back to that point where you first entered…it’s hard to believe this movie is 29 years old👍🏼😊…
I loved Forrest Gump, but in my opinion Pulp Fiction was the best move of that year and one of the best movies ever made. I never tire of it.
Shawshank that year as well. Great year for film.
ITs one reason I mostly skip the Oscars. Pulp Fiction got robbed by Forrest Gump, which is good, but overly sugary.
John Travolta dancing is sort of an homage to being on the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever 🕺🏽
Travolta also threw in a little Batman Batussi ✌🏼 ✌🏼
When people say ‘Tarantino style ending’ he was the first to do it well, showing separate parts of the story and coming together at the end.
Except he wasn't. The technique was invented by the legendary Japanese film maker Akira Kurosawa in the classic 1950 movie Rashomon which tells the story of a rape and murder from four different perspectives and using different time sequences. Another great American film maker, Robert Altman, also used similar techniques in some of his movies from the 1970s such as Nashville, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and 1992's The Player. Tarantino also used it in his first film Reservoir Dogs.
Reactions during the GIMP scene was so good I cried from laughing😂
so many good one liners in this movie
As a fan who loves your stuff, I was born in 1953. In the 1970s was a show called "Happy Days" and Fonzy was a leather wearing Biker high school drop out. The show was set in the 1950s and Fonzy became very popular because he was always cool and the women all wanted him. If you hear the term "jump the shark", that was from that show when Fonzi jumped over a shark pit while wearing his leather jacket and beach shorts. It was a silly show, but very popular.
32:40 Who's Fonzie?!
Y'all never heard of Happy Days?
Arthur Fonzarelli was only one of the biggest pop culture icons of the 70s.
He made the 👍🏾popular and was synonymous with "cool"(hence the dialogue)😎. Catchphrase "AYE-E"
But for real.. this is the best movie reaction I've seen on any channel.
Good luck & Keep it up!
