What makes Pulp Fiction Tarantino’s best work and one of the greatest films of all time is the dialogue. Never has film made dialogue so memorable and quotable. The iconic monologues, puns, insults are ingenious and infectious. Testament to the screenplay that gives us a unique cinematic experience through Tarantino’s masterful directing, career best performances from its leads and a classic soundtrack. Everything else is really just the icing on the cake. Sure everything about it is brilliant but for me it’s the ingenuity of the script, the execution of the scenes and the non-linear narrative. This film is flawless. A remarkable piece of art. Pure unadulterated entertainment at its finest. Perhaps the best film of the 90s era.
Im from Knoxville, and I went to see this with a bunch of rowdy line cooks after a UT football game shift. Nobody knew what was going to happen, and when Christopher Walken mentioned Knoxville Tennessee, the entire theater full of people went ape shit! It was amazing and unforgettable, my greatest movie experience ever
I was 22 when this movie came out. When i went to see it, by the time the movie was over, it seemed like everyone over the age of 30 had walked out. When they shot marvin in the face, several old ladies just got up and left. After that, they just started leaving every 10 minutes or so. By the time they brought out the gimp, the place was half empty. Times have changed.
I saw it in the theater with my best friend. Walking back to the car we weren't sure what to make of it. I thought a lot about it for a week and talked my wife into seeing it with me. That time it made sense and we've seen it dozens of times. My favorite movie.
I was about twenty when I saw it with my gf then too. The cinema was absolutely packed and we struggled to find two seats together. I don't recall people walking out. We saw it in the UK.
The best part is when boss Wallace was being abused from behind by Zed, and bruce is taking his sweet time picking a weapon while that was happening.Then finally landing on the samurai sword, a weapon that none of us know how to use but always wanted to...cuz its the coolest
Funny story, wife and I got free tickets to a movie. The choice was Pulp Fiction or Exotica. I saw Pulp Fiction later but I am glad I saw Exotica first
I revisited it this weekend, and it holds up every inch that it did when I first saw it in the theaters and had my mind "revamped" to quote Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys
@@bucksdiaryfan that made me chuckle, i wouldn't even attempt to figure out how many times i've watched this movie. and for me personally, it just gets better every time.
There's no point saying "ever" twice when it only underlines that you haven't watched half of the greatest films ever made. Also if it's only the "best ever" "for [you] personally" then the claim amounts to nothing.
I remember all the buzz about this movie as it was going into release. As I recall, the biggest buzz was that John Travolta was making a comeback as a middle-aged, slightly pudgy hitman. At the time, I had two toddlers at home, and did not see it until it came out on video, watching with my wife. The third time I wanted to rent it, I just bought it.
I was obsessed with this movie, had the vhs, the soundtrack, and quoting lines frim this movie since I first saw it, around 1995. Some of the best times of my life.
I hear you loud and clear! I was born early 70 . Grew up in the 80s. The 90s were the absolute best for me!!! I remember sitting in a bar with my cousin playing out a screen from the movie and no one blinked an eye
I feel so lucky to have seen this in the theater with zero knowledge of what happens or what it's about. I was totally surprised near the end when we see the shot of Ringo saying "Garcon! Coffee!" I'd totally forgotten that the movie opened in a coffee shop with a robbery, it worked perfectly on me, I remember saying "ohhhh, shit!"
I re-watch the Winston Wolf section a couple times of year. The ultimate project manager. I think I'll watch it now... "I'm Winston Wolf.. I solve problems."
such as the fate of Roger Avary, doing most of the work, get none of the credit in most people's eyes. Another plagiarist is granted sainthood, is only one who gets sole credit and makes it MO.
@@shotguncannibal did he do "most of the work"? For starters, he didn't direct it. And Tarantino proved he alone can make such good movies before and after this, and also has written several scripts others made into succesful movies, so there's that
I'm sorry but when you rattled off Christopher Walken's filmography you literally named all of the worst and lamest projects he's been a part of. He's the king of New York for Christ's sake
I actually met Christopher Walken when he entered a local dog park I frequented. I was the only person at the park until Walken and his wife came in. I thought I recognized him so immediately seeing that he said he was a businessman from Canada. He and his wife were walking the along beach but the tide was coming in so they came up a trail near the dog park. He was convincing; I thought he was just a guy that happens to look like Walken. I’ve mistaken people for others before, including people that I personally knew in the past. After they left 30 minutes later I had that nagging feeling that he really was Walken. At the time I was using a clamshell type phone so I went home and fired up the computer. Wow, he, the character, did resemble Walken I thought. People in person are different looking than on screen or in pictures and there was a difference even between pictures of him online. When I found a picture with him and his wife then I knew for sure. I basically was a one man audience for what I consider his best acting. Walken was reserved and more of a listener than talker, and very respectful of his wife. His wife called him Ronnie, which I later found out his birth name is Ronald Walken.
I'll never forget watching this upon theatre release and everyone in the audience not knowing how to process what they were watching. I was laughing my ass off at the over the top violence. I was proud that I was able to "get it". That was the only time I've ever felt hip. LOL. Amazing film.
The dialog in the movie makes it my all time favorite. The first time I saw it I had been drinking heavily, so I didn't really get it, but after seeing it 10 to 15 times on cable, then on video it's #1 on my list.
Thank you for this excellent documentary about this incredible film. You have given us a very detailed look into the casting, production, release, reception etc of Pulp Fiction. Well done. I subscribed !
This was an exceptional deep dive into this movie. I was prepared to be disappointed but you far exceeded my expectations. Very interesting stuff and well produced.
I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time in the theatre, I couldn't believe nor understand what I was watching. I went with a friend and she and I kept laughing while the people around us looked at us as if we were from outer space. What an experience it was, it's of the few movies that I still remember seeing for the first time. I have then watched it thousands of times. Haven't seen it in a bunch of years but I still remember all of it. It is "more than just a movie".
I was in my 20 in 1990, so I grew up in the best times for movie fans and Pulp Fiction was one of the best films of the 90's. It felt so good to be a part of that zeitgeist.
Same... besides reservoir dogs... If he hadn't made pulp fiction he would be thought of that "quirky weird violent director who likes karate, right?". Every single one of his other films can only be critiqued as, "the newest movie from the guy who made pulp fiction". On their own, they're all decent to good movies and you can see it's from a guy who had a vision. But they're not that exceptional.
Well let's just say that his works are very complex to understand, you might have to watch the movie over, and over again in order to understand its message.
Just one of those perfect films where it's hard to imagine anyone else in the roles they played. I fell in love w Reservoir Dogs for it's lore before I saw itin 92' but it's out of the box dialogue and rawness makes it my favorite but Pulp Fiction is flawless.
Roger And Quentin have a podcast together where they watch VHS movies from the video store they worked at before reservoir dogs. They are still very good friends to this day.
That is the difference between a good man vs. a good director, the good man is good on and off the screen, the good director only makes good movies, and doesn't worry about other things.
Had a VHS copy of this from god knows where. Had this n Billy Madison on it. We carried it around everywhere we went. We were all around 18 or so n smoking weed daily. Good times.
I also had one of those Nelson Mandela things with Pulp Fiction. For quite a while I swore I saw the "Elvis vs Beatles" scene in the theater. It was years before I learned I'd only seen it on certain basic cable airings that included it and had somehow blended it into my memory of seeing it in theaters.
If I had known John Travolta was in this movie, I wouldn't have gone to the theater to see it. But he surprised me with his character and changed my opinion of him. I was actually glad to see Harvey Keitel l because I've always like him. Bruce is one of my favorite actors and he's very good in this.
I was 20 something and saw this movie in Japan on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network. It probably was sometime around 95-96 ish. I caught it in the scene with the watch and didn't know what the hell I was watching. Later, I got to see the whole thing. At least it wasn't edited other than it had Japanese subtitles. I think it killed a few brain cells trying to figure out what I had just witnessed. Oh, I liked it a lot, I just didnt know what I was stepping into. I also watched The Crying Game while overseas. I was more prepared for the second one.
I just introduced this movie to my Guatemalan girlfriend. She really liked it, but it wasn't the same watching it in Spanish. Especially Samuel L. Jackson's dialogue.
@@philliptownsend2829 My choice is "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood"... here we see a great example of how Good he is! It's like asking "what's your favorite Zeppelin song"?
i think you mean Magnum Opus, but point taken, and totally agreed. I'm a casual Tarantino fan, but i like all of his movie to some extent, some more than others, but Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece in my book, and definitely my favorite movie of all time. I have yet to see Hollywood.
I get why Avery never worked with him again. I kinda think he thought Tarantino could have fought for him despite the risk of losing the financing to turn their work into an actual movie.
Well sometime you will be confronted with a tough choice, and I wouldn't rule out Avery and Tarantino's friendship just yet, that's just a one time thingie.
Tarantino went to Europe, I believe with Avary after Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction was heavily influenced by the 3 colors films. Avary adapted the pawnshop scene from a previous script he was working on called: Pandemonium Reigns. Tarantino peaked when he was doing nonlinear films, ending with/Kill Bill Vol 2. True Romance is the only linear masterpiece in his filmography. Hateful Eight I’d basically Reservoir Dogs for kids in 20s/early 30s that never saw Reservoir Dogs. The themes snd motifs are repeated constantly, particularly with obscured identities and everyone dying at the end. If he could just muster the talent and will to write another film thst was as great as his first 3 screenplays: True Romance( only linear masterpiece), Reservoir Digs, and Pulp Fiction- the film that WILL be carved onto his tombstone, I’d be happy to have that nonlinear joy one more time in 20 years- since Kill Vill 2 🙏🏻
I was no older than 7 years old when I actively sought the freaking movie. The first time was when it played on TV. I wanted to stay up late to see "a movie", as soon as my father saw the 1st few seconds of the intro, he turned the TV firmly off and told me to go to bed. That only pushed me further into it. By a rare stroke of luck, my uncle gave my grandfather a VHS copy of the movie. My grandfather never saw a single frame of the thing but I definetly did. I did it several times until the tape split. I tried to fix it with duct tape but there wasn't any luck there. Some people say that the movie may have and may still influence people into drugs, or violence or women who look like Uma Thurman. I think that it is all coincidental. It is coincidental that whenever I used to do a shot of H, I would play the movie's soundtrack before pushing the plunger. So yes, it is definetly coincidental. So, would I advise young kids to watch the movie now that I'm older and none-the-wiser? Of course not. But if anyone, anyone at all really wants to watch it, they will find it by themselves, in the Arctic or in the middle of the Sahara desert... they will find it.
My last year of high-school (Don't mind the word too much), I figured I would give marijuana a try, and see if it were really worth the hype, so all my senior year I was partying, watching movies etc... It's possible that I would have done cocaïne if it weren't for the scene in Pulp Fiction that I remember watching stoned with one of my friend at home, while eating cream puffs from Costco.
I remember going to see this when it came out and left the cinema a bit confused as to what the out of cinque scenes were meant to say. I remember the whole of the following week replaying it in my mind before deciding i had to go back and see it again. Amazing to think you can assemble such a great cast; have them say the lines you wrote yet pay them so little.
I can't believe the continuity errors with cigarettes. When I studied video production at college, the very first thing we talked about when discussing continuity was cigarettes.
This is one of my very favorite movies ever!! This film for me is what made my passion grow for all films. The star studded cast is phenomenal. This ofcourse n reservoir dog's!! Best indie films of their times.
There are a couple of other great movies, I really liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit ? Cinderella Man with Russel Crow, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Terminal with Tom Hanks, Sleepers etc... With every movie that I am buying, not only do Directors, and Actors get their share, but also I get to travel the movie World and witness something that I wouldn't be able to without technological advancement.
Good video. One of my favorite movies. One other error was in the scene right before the guy bursts through the door and starts shooting. For a moment, the bullet holes in the wall are visible before the gun fire starts.
I love Pulp Fiction... True Story: Pulp Fiction was the 3rd or 4th movie i saw in theaters. i was 9. i was with my mom, her best friend and her best friend's boyfriend. The boyfriend picked the movie, knowing i was coming, lmao. the rape scene perplexed me greatly and i even asked my mom what was going on screen. i can't imagine how she felt lolol. i saw the movie a few times when it came to home video and cable, i guess at that point my mom was like "whatever". i got to watch some pretty violent movies as a kid like Robocop when i was 5 or 6 lol. I love Pulp FIction to this day, it's probably my favorite movie of all time. i can speak every line.
I've watched every movie Quentin Tarantino has made, and Pulp Fiction is still my favourite, followed closely by "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood". Both are frickin' masterpieces.
Add to that they were talking about the miracle that Jules witnessed at the time and Vincent says "you think god came down from heaven..." and the gun goes off. Freaky, man.
Harvey Keitel, played the same role role of a 'cleaner', but must more somber and serious, in "Point of No Return". Interesting how Keitel interpreted same situation in such different ways. Great actor!
I think to a man like Tarantino that has gone through hardship again, and again, I think what matters to him the most is that people do not destroy his movies especially on the Internet, I think that should be a rule when watching a movie or playing a video-game. It's sort of like when somebody tells you a spoiler, or tells you what happens in the movie, in a way it's taking money away from them. And also it's hard besting work you have done before, and the process of that happening, is what makes somebody a great vs legendary movie maker.
The original movie poster, with the picture of Uma shown at 21:48, included a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes on the bed. The posters had to be recalled because the company that owns Lucky Strike (British American Tobacco?) had not given the studio permission to use their product in the movie promo. So the poster was quickly redone and reissued. Apparently there are a handful of the original posters still around and they are very valuable to collectors.
i JUST love JULES 'ANGRY' scenes - especially the apartment with the 4 guys BANG......"OH DID I BREAK YOUR CONCENTRATION?" The whole scene with eating the burger and the Chicken Royale question............ "what?" "SAY WHAT ONCE MORE MOFO" "WHAT' BANG........................ The whole bit with Jules scripted execution speech.........I WILL SMITE DOWN ON THEE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE.......... SERIOUSLY B A D A S S ............... in my world eved last dang cast member would get an Oscar - This is true movie mastery at is zenith. My No#1 Movie Blockbuster gets watched every month or so.......along with Tequila!
Continuity is always a problem during the production of a move, even in this one. But the thing I really love about Pulp Fiction is that the final cast has been selected. They worked so well. Any other actors would have spoiled it.
Who watches Pulp Fiction and all he, she, Xir, Xim ..don't wanna hurt the sensitive pro noun pups.... but only an insecure thing / it has to say of the film is mistake in continuity....what a N _ _ _t _ i
Hey. Thanks for sending the "Cat coffee" for me to Phil's office. His office manager says she doesn't remember it. Or that Victoria called the same day with the same message to call back if I need to talk to you guys. Emily knows how to make contact. Elaine's cousin really messed things up. Not my fault.
16:32 There is no inconsistency here - it's not a daylight, but street lights, judging by the distribution of highlights and shadows on Vince's face, when he catches keys.
The Boxing Kangaroo was the mascot for the Australian sailing team in their successful America's Cup campaign in 1983. Oh, and their team song/anthem was Men at Work's "Down Under". FYI Frenchy :)
@@AussieSteve1984 The boxing kangaroo has been around for a long time. My ceramic kangaroo as was used in the movie looks like it was made in the 60's. Good info though. Cheers mate!
What a change this movie made! Suddenly, it was okay to use irony in Hollywood, heroes and villains could overlap and were not just black hat/white hat types, and movies could last longer than 1:40 hours. 1980s Hollywood suddenly realised that audiences could actually follow a complex plot, especially if it was written well. And so, enter the golden years of the '90s..! What a huge difference this movie made!!

@@philliptownsend2829close call
@@philliptownsend2829 My choice is "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood"... here we see a great example of how Good he is! It's like asking "what's your favorite Zeppelin song"?
The word "opus" merely means "work", so yes, obviously it is Tarantino's work - nobody would claim otherwise.
i think you mean Magnum Opus, but point taken, and totally agreed. I'm a casual Tarantino fan, but i like all of his movie to some extent, some more than others, but Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece in my book, and definitely my favorite movie of all time. I have yet to see Hollywood.
I feel for Tarrantino - Friends and relatives of Geniuses rarely recognize Genius unless they are in the same industry.
The best movie ever made. There is nothing like it, before or since.
I think there's a lot of debate as to the best movie, among the best movies yeah, but I also really like the Batman Trilogy from Christopher Nolan.
The Scene with Zed and the Gimp?
I felt so bad for Marcellus, & when Butch finally decided to help him, you knew it was going to get even better!
There are rules even with ex-associates...
You sendin in the Wolf?
Shee**t...
I get why Avery never worked with him again. I kinda think he thought Tarantino could have fought for him despite the risk of losing the financing to turn their work into an actual movie.
Well sometime you will be confronted with a tough choice, and I wouldn't rule out Avery and Tarantino's friendship just yet, that's just a one time thingie.
Stil my favorite movie of all-time!
Fkin gorgeous film
Tarantino went to Europe, I believe with Avary after Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction was heavily influenced by the 3 colors films. Avary adapted the pawnshop scene from a previous script he was working on called: Pandemonium Reigns. Tarantino peaked when he was doing nonlinear films, ending with/Kill Bill Vol 2. True Romance is the only linear masterpiece in his filmography. Hateful Eight I’d basically Reservoir Dogs for kids in 20s/early 30s that never saw Reservoir Dogs. The themes snd motifs are repeated constantly, particularly with obscured identities and everyone dying at the end. If he could just muster the talent and will to write another film thst was as great as his first 3 screenplays: True Romance( only linear masterpiece), Reservoir Digs, and Pulp Fiction- the film that WILL be carved onto his tombstone, I’d be happy to have that nonlinear joy one more time in 20 years- since Kill Vill 2 🙏🏻
But QTs script for true romance was not written linear , that’s just how Tony Scott made it.
I was no older than 7 years old when I actively sought the freaking movie.
The first time was when it played on TV. I wanted to stay up late to see "a movie", as soon as my father saw the 1st few seconds of the intro, he turned the TV firmly off and told me to go to bed.
That only pushed me further into it.
By a rare stroke of luck, my uncle gave my grandfather a VHS copy of the movie. My grandfather never saw a single frame of the thing but I definetly did. I did it several times until the tape split. I tried to fix it with duct tape but there wasn't any luck there.
Some people say that the movie may have and may still influence people into drugs, or violence or women who look like Uma Thurman. I think that it is all coincidental.
It is coincidental that whenever I used to do a shot of H, I would play the movie's soundtrack before pushing the plunger. So yes, it is definetly coincidental.
So, would I advise young kids to watch the movie now that I'm older and none-the-wiser? Of course not. But if anyone, anyone at all really wants to watch it, they will find it by themselves, in the Arctic or in the middle of the Sahara desert... they will find it.
My last year of high-school (Don't mind the word too much), I figured I would give marijuana a try, and see if it were really worth the hype, so all my senior year I was partying, watching movies etc... It's possible that I would have done cocaïne if it weren't for the scene in Pulp Fiction that I remember watching stoned with one of my friend at home, while eating cream puffs from Costco.
I remember going to see this when it came out and left the cinema a bit confused as to what the out of cinque scenes were meant to say.
I remember the whole of the following week replaying it in my mind before deciding i had to go back and see it again.
Amazing to think you can assemble such a great cast; have them say the lines you wrote yet pay them so little.
Great content. May your channel thrive.
Thanks 👏😄 Very nice to hear 🙃
@@Movies_Inside_Out
Please keep these coming .
👍👍
I can't believe the continuity errors with cigarettes.
When I studied video production at college, the very first thing we talked about when discussing continuity was cigarettes.
QT broke cigarette continuity for a joke, it’s a nod to a Benny Hill sketch he liked.
great post
This is one of my very favorite movies ever!! This film for me is what made my passion grow for all films. The star studded cast is phenomenal. This ofcourse n reservoir dog's!! Best indie films of their times.
There are a couple of other great movies, I really liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit ? Cinderella Man with Russel Crow, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Terminal with Tom Hanks, Sleepers etc... With every movie that I am buying, not only do Directors, and Actors get their share, but also I get to travel the movie World and witness something that I wouldn't be able to without technological advancement.
16:35 I see that as the lights on her front porch, not daylight
Same. Brightly lit patio.
Good video. One of my favorite movies.
One other error was in the scene right before the guy bursts through the door and starts shooting. For a moment, the bullet holes in the wall are visible before the gun fire starts.
I love Pulp Fiction... True Story: Pulp Fiction was the 3rd or 4th movie i saw in theaters. i was 9. i was with my mom, her best friend and her best friend's boyfriend. The boyfriend picked the movie, knowing i was coming, lmao. the rape scene perplexed me greatly and i even asked my mom what was going on screen. i can't imagine how she felt lolol. i saw the movie a few times when it came to home video and cable, i guess at that point my mom was like "whatever". i got to watch some pretty violent movies as a kid like Robocop when i was 5 or 6 lol. I love Pulp FIction to this day, it's probably my favorite movie of all time. i can speak every line.
I've watched every movie Quentin Tarantino has made, and Pulp Fiction is still my favourite, followed closely by "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood". Both are frickin' masterpieces.
Didn't watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and I don't think I will anytime soon, unless I get real lucky at the lottery.
Hard to comprehend that Pulp Fiction was made in 1994... thirty years ago. wow. If I was asked, I would say... mmm maybe 10 years?
Thank GOD Baldwin and Penn weren't in that movie.
Could you imagine Joan Cusack as Mia Wallace? No disrespect to Joan, I just can't see her quirkiness as that character. 😂
@@FreejackVesa totally agreed. and that role needed to ooze sexiness. Uma killed it.
Roger Avery and Quentin Tarantino have a podcast together. So, yes- they are working together again.
"oh man, I shot Marvin in the face."
Will forever be one of my favorite lines ever delivered in a movie.
Add to that they were talking about the miracle that Jules witnessed at the time and Vincent says "you think god came down from heaven..." and the gun goes off. Freaky, man.
Tarantino and Avery *have actually* made amends and work together now on the excellent Video Archives Podcast…
Harvey Keitel, played the same role role of a 'cleaner', but must more somber and serious, in "Point of No Return". Interesting how Keitel interpreted same situation in such different ways. Great actor!
This movie should have received the oscars for original screenplay and best director
I think to a man like Tarantino that has gone through hardship again, and again, I think what matters to him the most is that people do not destroy his movies especially on the Internet, I think that should be a rule when watching a movie or playing a video-game.
It's sort of like when somebody tells you a spoiler, or tells you what happens in the movie, in a way it's taking money away from them. And also it's hard besting work you have done before, and the process of that happening, is what makes somebody a great vs legendary movie maker.
@Kalidou-s9k well said
In a world of AI crap, thank you for a real, in-depth video essay!
The original movie poster, with the picture of Uma shown at 21:48, included a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes on the bed. The posters had to be recalled because the company that owns Lucky Strike (British American Tobacco?) had not given the studio permission to use their product in the movie promo. So the poster was quickly redone and reissued. Apparently there are a handful of the original posters still around and they are very valuable to collectors.
always thought a recut & chronological order version would be fun to watch, now to find a UAE version!
"weaves an intocant webb" is a good way to put it
Cool & interesting channel...
Thanks 👏😊
I’m actually thinking Eric Stoltz’s role would have been perfect for Wayne Knight. 😂
Suzanne Vega. That’s awesome.
I love Tom’s diner.
The "errors" mentioned, to me are easter eggs and typical of 70's movies so it gives the movie character.
i JUST love JULES 'ANGRY' scenes - especially the apartment with the 4 guys BANG......"OH DID I BREAK YOUR CONCENTRATION?"
The whole scene with eating the burger and the Chicken Royale question............
"what?"
"SAY WHAT ONCE MORE MOFO"
"WHAT'
BANG........................
The whole bit with Jules scripted execution speech.........I WILL SMITE DOWN ON THEE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE..........
SERIOUSLY B A D A S S ...............
in my world eved last dang cast member would get an Oscar - This is true movie mastery at is zenith. My No#1 Movie Blockbuster gets watched every month or so.......along with Tequila!
Continuity is always a problem during the production of a move, even in this one. But the thing I really love about Pulp Fiction is that the final cast has been selected. They worked so well. Any other actors would have spoiled it.
Tarantino and Avery have a podcast. They finished season 1 of it months ago. I think they are buddies.
I'm such a fan of this movie that I have the iconic Bad Mother F***er wallet.
You missed one major mistake in the movie, the bullet holes In the wall behind Jule and Vince in the apartment even before they got shot at.
Who watches Pulp Fiction and all he, she, Xir, Xim ..don't wanna hurt the sensitive pro noun pups.... but only an insecure thing / it has to say of the film is mistake
in continuity....what a N _ _ _t
_ i
Tarantino and Avery cohost a podcast. I'd call that "working together".
To be fair, the podcast IS a fairly recent thing and the two in fact did not work together for over two decades.
IIRC the cast was payed this "little" and promised a % from the sales, which might make it the best paying jobs of their carriers for some of them
Hey. Thanks for sending the "Cat coffee" for me to Phil's office. His office manager says she doesn't remember it. Or that Victoria called the same day with the same message to call back if I need to talk to you guys. Emily knows how to make contact. Elaine's cousin really messed things up.
Not my fault.
My favorite film of all time.
18:50 What no mention of The Wolf's Acura NSX sportscar? ...there's a story behind there.
My first date with my wife was to see Pulp Fiction.
16:32 There is no inconsistency here - it's not a daylight, but street lights, judging by the distribution of highlights and shadows on Vince's face, when he catches keys.
For me my favorite movie ever and best Tarentino movie
In my top 5 ever..
Do you watch Japanese Anime ?
Fuckin AwEsOmE video💯💯💯
The t-shirt worn by Samuel L. Jackson at 2:12 is of Krazy Kat, by George Herriman, one of the most influential comics ever.
oneof the most underrated movies ever
@brendanroberts4866 it's one of the highest rated movies ever, it's not underrated.
@@Jzigg3765 got you,
I keep my watch on a little kangaroo on my bedside table, just like Butch. If you look closely, it has boxing gloves on.
The Boxing Kangaroo was the mascot for the Australian sailing team in their successful America's Cup campaign in 1983. Oh, and their team song/anthem was Men at Work's "Down Under". FYI Frenchy :)
@@AussieSteve1984 The boxing kangaroo has been around for a long time. My ceramic kangaroo as was used in the movie looks like it was made in the 60's. Good info though. Cheers mate!
lol I bet you Quentin in secret sleeps with stuffed animals.
What a change this movie made!
Suddenly, it was okay to use irony in Hollywood, heroes and villains could overlap and were not just black hat/white hat types, and movies could last longer than 1:40 hours.
1980s Hollywood suddenly realised that audiences could actually follow a complex plot, especially if it was written well. And so, enter the golden years of the '90s..!
What a huge difference this movie made!!
