The reason Mia ODs is because of a throwaway line. When Vince is buying drugs, the dealer says "I'm out of balloons, will a baggie work?" because heroin and coke are sold in different containers to tell them apart. When Mia finds a baggie of white powder in Vincent's coat, she assumes it's coke, but ends up snorting heroin instead - big no no. So many really subtle lines of dialog in this movie that have huge ramifications.
My favorite aspect of this whole film is how lucky Butch becomes immediately after he puts that lucky watch on him. He caught his assassin on the toilet, he was in perfect position to run over the mob boss who put out the hit, he didn't get picked by Zed...dude literally got a +5 to his luck stat.
It wasn't Vincent's gun, Marcellus left it when he went to get coffee. That's why Vincent didn't come out and check when he heard someone come into the apartment, he thought it was Marcellus coming back.
That makes a lot of sense. When I first watched Pulp Fiction it did take me some time to tie Butch meeting Marcellus at that intersection. Of course he was there at the apartment with Vincent and stepped out to get some breakfast.
Which is why Vincent is in the bathroom every time something bad happens. 1) Mia overdoses. 2) Ringo and Yolanda Rob the restaurant. 3) Butch shoots him.
You give drug dealers/users too much credit. Drugs a sold in anything. Bags , balloons, foil, folded up dollar bill, you name it, but as long as it can hold drugs, a drug dealer will sell whatever drugs in it lol. This mysterious code of what drugs to put in what container doesn't exist lol
It's very strange to think from what kind of perspective does the younger generation see things from. They grow up in the middle of all kinds of memes and easter eggs thinking they are funny, but completely missing the funniest part of it, not knowing what are they referring to.
Both finger _and_ barrel discipline. It should be both, but if I had to make a strict choice between the two, I would go with barrel discipline. At least that way, even in the case of an unlikely discharge by malfunction, that round is probably not going in a harmful direction.
“Powdering (one’s) nose” literally means touching up your makeup, but was used in old movies as a euphemism for going to the toilet. Here Mia unlocks a third meaning.
I love how she ends with "I'll probably never know" what Pulp Fiction means when the movie starts-the very first thing it shows you-with the definition of the term. Never change, Dawn
Like he just spilled a drink, or his keys slipped out of his pocket and slid under the seat. For that matter, I’ve known people to have a more upset response to either of those things. 😄
@@zedwpd What I'm not clear on, though, is whether Marvin had been one of Wallace's people all along, or if he was originally in it with Brett and the others, realized they were probably going to get caught (or he did get caught by himself), and had flipped on them at some point to be spared. By his initial reaction to them being killed, I lean toward the latter explanation.
@@0okaminoat the very beginning Jules and Vincent are talking about "their" guy up in the room and had details. When they pull up. I think Marvin freaked out because he hasnt seen a murder or didnt really think they were going to kill them
"Pulp Fiction"was without a doubt the greatest cinema experience of my life.The Birmingham, England audience gasped,giggled,screamed,cheered, roared with laughter and applauded through the credits.30 years ago.I'll never forget it!😎
It was the same for me!"Forrest Gump"is a good film-no doubt, but I've always firmly believed"Pulp Fiction"deserved every Oscar it was nominated for.Especially Samuel L.Jackson.I don't think he's ever been better!Stay cool!😎
I was 13, sitting next to my parents, who had no idea what kind of movie we were about to see. I still remember glancing side to side when Miserlou dropped in the titles, trying to figure out if I was allowed to laugh at HoneyBunny’s dark turn… 😅
I wasn't able to see it in theaters but I was able to see it on VHS 1.5 years later. One of the greatest viewing experiences I've ever had, and if I watch it under the right circumstances, it's like watching it for the first time all over again. Truly a sacred film for me.
Today you have to ask for them; not on the menu anymore that I know of but back in the day: A Burger King Bacon-Double-Cheeseburger was simple: Bun, Meat, Cheese, Pickles, Ketchup - that's it> I always asked them to hold the ketchup and add mayo, sometimes extra pickles... 😋 I'm with you Dawn! ❤ I LOVE mayo on fries (or ketchup idc) - but now I stay away from fast food joints.
The scene where Butch saves Marsellus is definitely a disturbing-as-all-hell scene straight out of Deliverance. The reason why Butch saves Marsellus is because, despite him deciding to throw a boxing match, he is a man of honor and he just would be unable to live with himself if he left Marsellus to be raped and presumably be tortured in other ways and then eventually be killed. That's why he went back.
I’m afraid that you are wrong he goes back because having now killed two people sort of by accident he is getting a taste for it and realises that he has an opportunity to kill again and get away it on the basis of self defence this is why he takes so long selecting his weapon. If you need more he comes from a long line of warriors and lives in a time with no wars to fight and killing brings him closer to his family heritage this is what the gold watch story is about.
He didn't throw the match. He agreed to, but he scammed the scammers. Marcellus pays him to go down in the 5th so he can win more on a bet. Word leaks that the fix is in and odds skew against Butch. Butch then bets the money Marcellus gave him on himself and instead of throwing the fight beats his opponent so badly he dies. Since word of the fix put long odds up, he won big. He never intended to throw that fight, he was scamming the scammers the whole time.
I think Butch went back to save him 1) because its the right thing to do, but also 2) if he saves him, Marsellus won't try to track him down and kill him. Remember that Marsellus was ready to scour the earth for him.
Love the Walken scene. He could've just handed over the watch and spared the kid the gory details of dysentery and hiding places, but he chose to tell him anyway! 😂
"You okay?" "Nah man. I'm pretty fucking far from okay" My family uses this phrase a lot. Winston Wolfe has to be the coolest character in any movie, ever.
I love your reaction to this! I had the same reaction when I saw it in the theater. All of a sudden, I understood what art in cinema was. Had never seen anything like it.
As Dawn Marie clearly states..."finally,..finally" Oh goody I am so excited... Edit:....I'm back. Some background history. This movie was heavily marketed before it's release. Quentin Tarantino's star was soon to rise but few knew of him yet and even fewer had seen a little movie called Reservoir Dogs, but the movie industry had great expectations for this new storyteller. I saw this movie opening night in a packed theater with a crowd of people who mostly had no clue what they were in for (except those of us who were there because we had recently seen True Romance and Reservoir Dogs) The theater was so confused by the goings on especially by the howls of laughter come from the few of us in the know...when Vicent blew Marvin's head off the entire audience gasped in horror except for 10 of us that could not stop laughing...that was a fun night Pulp Fiction broke the mold for movie making and won Tarantino the Palm de Ore at Cannes that year. Copycats abounded soon there after and eventually it was not remarkable to have a storyline that would be called "Quentinesque" It is easy to forget how remarkable it was to have seen this movie when it was fresh and to realize how much foreshadowing to future movies there was in this one...well?...there you have it. Thanks Dawn Marie. That was a long wait but now we welcome you into the club
subscribed with no hesitation. you’re one of the few rare reactors who totally got the vibe of the film. Everyone else is trying hard to follow what’s happening and end up bullshitting or talking over the dialogue which is the real star of Pulp Fiction. Plus your sarcastic comments and rejoinders made it 2x funny.
Yup, he never got the chance to get that done, explaining (backwards) why later (but in the film, earlier) he took the risk of using the toilet in the apartment of a guy he was sent to murder.
"Powder my nose" is usually a more lady-like euphemism for peeing, and refers to applying old-style make-up foundation which always came in a power form, usually in a compact, both of which are done in the bathroom.
you'd be surprised how effective someone is who can be clear and calm under pressure. most people have a hard time in a crisis but can follow commands delivered effectively. someone like the Wolf may not "do" a lot but he provides a structure and has resources to solve problems, as well as thinks ahead and pays close attention to details that could derail the entire situation.
The guy who comes out of the bathroom blasting @26:17 is actor Robert Arquette. Robert later became Alexis after a gender change. Many might know Him/Her as the Boy George look a like in the movie "The Wedding Singer".He/She was a sibling of Rosanna, Patricia and David Arquette, she passed away in 2016 from AIDS related health issues.
Uma Thurman, when reading the menu in the restaurant, mentions a "Durward Kirby burger. Durward Kirby was a television announcer and sidekick on the Gary Moore Show in the 1950s and Allen Funt on Candid Camera in the 1960s.
Jules’ last scene is toward the beginning of the film just after we meet Butch. Jules is wearing the blue t-shirt, and is returning the briefcase. We can assume that he tells Marcellus that he’s quitting, and that he continues on to “roam the Earth”. That’s why Marcellus is partnering with Vincent to hunt for Butch. It’s a whole chain of events based on honor that lead to which characters live and die.
Also Jules does show up travelling the Earth in Kill Bill, where he's the pianist and gets shot, which kind of proves Vincent right that it was simply a coincidence they survived.
The incidental dialogue is what makes this movie so great. John Travolta explaining that a quarter pounder is called a royale in France because they use the metric system. What do the call a Big Mac, Le Big Mac. What do they call a Whopper, I dunno, I never went to Burger King. It's comedy gold all played with a straight face.
Daddy-O is a term used to address men in the 1950's. You can also hear Marty McFly say it in Back to the Future. "Bloody as hell" is that restaurant's way of saying "rare cooked beef on the burger." The term "powder my nose" originated when women would go and fix their make-up, but then became a euphemism for "I'm going to the toilet." In this case, Mia is jokingly using it to mean she's actually putting powder up her nose.
@@zedwpd That probably should be narrowed to "ground beef". Rare cooked steak is perfectly safe, so long as the surface is sufficiently seared killing any bacteria. Ground beef however, would carry any bacteria throughout the patty and would require enough heat to kill bacteria inside.
I’m sure you’ve been given a lot of Tarantino advice, but between Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown there’s Four Rooms, of which he wrote, directed and starred in the fourth segment and Destiny Turns on the Radio, his first acting-only role and Sleep With Me, where he has a small but funny cameo. In addition, there’s Killing Zoe, written and directed by Roger Avery, the co-writer of Pulp Fiction amd is an interesting companion piece.
The briefcase holds Marcellus's soul. Thats what everybody said until Tarantino said the briefcase holds whatever YOU the audience thinks it does. Marcellus has a band aid on the back of his neck when first seen. The 'its his soul, in the briefcase' crowd (unlock code: 666), assumes that happened when Marcellus sold his soul. Legend has it, that when you sell your soul to the Devil, he pulls it out the back of your neck. The simple explanation for the band aid, is that Ving Rhames cut himself shaving his head. But the, its his soul crowd!!!! will NEVER buy it. LOL
Ya I was sold on that theory as well. The thing was Tarantino shot the film and sets so well, you look into EVERYTHING having a symbolism. You could say the watch story actually fortells the anal rape later as well.
Besides being an incredibly entertaining movie, there's a whole context behind the success of Pulp Fiction that's lost on many young viewers. This was coming off of the 80s, a decade of safe, sentimental films, and while there were a few good crime films they were traditional and beginning to feel a bit stale. Either they were call back to 40s and 50s noir or crime epics like The Godfather. Then along comes Scorsese's Goodfellas (1990) and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) to spice things up. PF especially brought a fresh new approach to criminals and thugs on screen. Critics and filmmakers were the first to praise the film for it's witty, musical and 'naturalistic' dialogue. It's like you're just hanging with average people in their day-to-day lives. Along with Goodfellas and Reservoir Dogs, PF influenced every crime movie of the last 30 years. Suddenly every gangster flick has a pop music soundtrack, a character-mosaic structure with time jumps and lots of snazzy camera work. Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman arguably pioneered all of this stuff back in the 70s with films like Mean Streets (1973) and Nashville (1975) Tarantino basically took all that, as well as tropes from 70s Exploitation films and blended it up. Like they say... if you're going to steal, steal from the best. Which he does. As a screenwriter, though, he's an original in a league of his own.
Dawn Marie! 9 months gestating! At this point in your journey you must watch the spoof trailer "Gump Fiction"! They managed to get Phil Lamar (Marvin "one body, no head") and nobody else from either movie, but it's very fun.
The reason they had Phil LaMarr on Gump Fiction was because Gump Fiction was a MADtv sketch and (at the time) Phil LaMarr was a cast member. MADtv was basically a sketch series akin to Saturday Night Live, only it was an hour long, aired on the West Coast, lasted from 1995 to 2009 (with a limited-run revival in 2016), and didn't have many famous alumni (barring Jordan Peele, Keegan Michael Key, Phil LaMarr, Debra Wilson, and Taran Killam), but was considered a fan favorite to those who thought SNL wasn't the comedy powerhouse it used to be.
It doesn't matter what was in the briefcase. It's what Alfred Hitchcock called a (MacGuffin). Which is nothing more than a trigger for the audience to obsess over in order to move the plot along. It's whatever you think that it is. Quentin Tarantino made the contents of the briefcase vague on purpose in order for people to obsess over it.
“Zed’s dead” was a line that reverberated through the hallways back when I was in high school. I rewatched it a while ago and as much as I like Tarantino, this was his magnus opus.
"I could watch him all day..." Christopher Walken (and Eric Stoltz, the drug dealer) is in The Prophecy, also from 1995. I think you would especially enjoy Walken's performance in it 😉 Also check out The Dead Zone for Walken in a Stephen King adaptation (more thriller than horror) For a comedy with Walken - Joe Dirt
There's a neat milkshake bar near me that charges between $9.25-19.25 for milkshakes, depending on the size ordered, but these things are extravagant. Butch was paid to take a fall. He took the money, then spread the word that the fight was fixed, making him a huge underdog. He had a friend lay bets on him at several bookies and won, getting a huge return.
Obviously the guy who put it up his ass next. Its actually a miracle he didn't get dissentry as well just from that transfer as he likely had no fresh water before the guards checked the body.
You should watch Heat with Pacino, De Niro, Jon Voight, Ashely Judd, Tom Sizemore, Ted Levine (that dude is excellent at playing cops), a young Natalie Portman, Hank Azaria (one of the voice actors from the Simpsons).
Remember: the dude who comes out of the room to shoot at Vince & Jules - that is one, of not the only time he looked masculine. He was an Arquette. He was trans way back when. Example: the keyboard player in The Wedding Singer. The actor eating the Burger, Frank Whaley; he is Moonlight Graham! As well as the dude from Con Air who made things get done. Marvin is Mad Tv alumni Phil LaMarr. He’s been a prolific & in-demand voice actor for the past 15 years.
Your reactions for Taxi Driver and Pulp Fiction popped up in my feed this week and I enjoyed them both, two absolute classics and two fun reactions. I see a bunch more reactions to some pretty sweet flicks on your channel, so I’m definitely subbing. Keep up the great content 💪🏼😅🍿🎬
Marvin was their man in the siuation and was expecting them at a particular time which is why Vincent and Jules are being particular about the time they go in.
There is some conjecture that the briefcase contained Marsellus' soul and the scar on the back of his neck refers to Asian mythology that the soul leaves the body thru that point.
The title "Pulp Fiction" is derived from the term "pulp fiction" which was used to describe the old action low intellect but high action/excitement/exploitation stories published in cheap magazines that were printed on the lowest grade wood pulp (hence the term PULP fiction) paper stock back in the old days.
i was told back in the day that the shiny thing in the briefcase is the soul of Marsellus Wallace. Thats the reason for the bandaid because that is where souls are extracted from.
He had a plaster on the back of his head because he cut his head accidentally and Quentin Tarantino liked it so much he kept it in, what is in the briefcase? Whatever you want it to be , you decide and let it become your movie.
Some speculate that Marcellus' soul was in the case; it was extracted through an incision in the back of his neck. That's how you remove souls, you know. I mean... that's what I heard.
For most people back when this came out, this was their first exposure to a Tarantino film. I had already seen Reservoir Dogs a few years earlier, and was ready for a film like this.
History of the term (I'm going to powder my nose). In the United States, in 1930, to keep from being regulated by the federal government, the movie industry implemented what they called the (Hays Code). This code governed everything that an actor could say or do on screen. Which means... there was no obscenity of any kind. So, people could not say.... I'm going to the bathroom or I'm going to pee, women had to say I'm going to POWDER MY NOSE.
Powder rooms and "powdering my nose" goes back way further than that. There were actual powder rooms where people would go to refresh their powdered wigs or reapply powdered makeup. Eventually, when wigs fell out of style, the powder rooms gained chamber pots rather than powder chairs, but was still a room utilized to refresh your appearance, as well as relieving yourself. It really just became a "dignified" way of saying you're going to use the bathroom. The drug references and movie regulations came much later, and I'm surprised to hear that "I need to use the bathroom" would have been considered obscene back then. What a change in decorum we've had since then.
@@hinney827 I think there's some thing being Lost in translation here. Do you know what (PROHIBITION) was? The most powerful political group in the United States in the 1920s through the 1960s were Churches! These religious leaders and church groups are the ones who successfully petitioned Congress and get ALCOHOL BANNED in the United States in 1920. And then these church leaders and groups turned their eyes towards Hollywood. They were on the radio (CBS and NBC) week after week talking about the OBSCENITY coming out of Hollywood. These Church groups were petitioning the federal government to regulate Hollywood movies. RKO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, MGM, and 20th Century Fox had meetings with these church leaders and out of those meetings they came up with the Hays Code. Yes, women in movies in restaurants, country clubs, lounges, and bars would say (I need to go powder my nose) as code to suggest they were going to the bathroom. Gay men in these movies were coded to be interior decorators, florist, concierge at hotels. Husbands and Wives could not sleep in the same bed, they always had to have twin beds. No where did I say, claim, or implied they invented the term, that's what YOU inferred! They merely used it as code! Why don't you try picking up a history book on the Hays code before making such an asinine criticism. You might want to look up the term blue laws as well, because you can thank churches for those too.
@@hinney827 it's apparent you don't know much about history or Hollywood. Why don't you start with (prohibition and who was responsible) and then work your way through the Hays Code. Spoiler alert, it was the same group. I never said they invented the term, that's what you inferred. .
@@theylied1776 You very much implied that's where it was coined. You began with "history for the term" (even though it's a phrase and not a term - guess it's apparent you don't know much about the English language) and started talking about 1930, but never mentioned anything about the _actual_ origin of the phrase. You're so combative with someone just adding a little extra history to your post. My goodness.
It's still a damn shame that the Vega brother's movie never happened, Travolta as Vincent and Madsen's Vic/Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs would have been really interesting.
As good a screenplay as any ever written.... the definition of "pulp fiction" is shown at the beginning- watch again. It's a "B"- movie story, full of cheap thrills, gore, sex- in other words, it"s Pulp Fiction"...
🔔 DAWN @ 8:48 The hamburger was named after Durwood Kirby, who was an electronic media personality most known for co-hosting the very popular Candid Camera TV Show. P.S. That waiter is none other than the great Steve Buscemi!
A reviewer, I think Ebert, said that Jules Winnfield and Vicent Vega discussed things with the innocence of Huck Finn and Jim floating down the Mississippi on that raft.
I'm so glad you liked it. I remember seeing it at the theater twice! The crowd was great. But my favorite Tarantino movie is " Inglorious Bastards". It's his masterpiece.
I'll never forget the collective murmur then gasp, the entire theater had, when they punctured Uma Thurmond's chest with the needle. Never heard a reaction like that before or since.
Did anybody else ever notice that the waiter in "Jack Rabbit Slims" was played by Steve Buscemi? I must have watched this movie a dozen times and never noticed, until it was pointed out in a television special about Quentin Tarantino. After that I had to watch it all over again just to see it in context.
Rumor has it when that kind of thing happens in scotland they pull a guy out of the closet dressed up like a giant haggis instead of a gimp Plus he'd probably have found a claymore sword instead
The radio broadcast in the background while Butch is sneaking through the alley towards his apartment building plays “garble mumble garble At your local Jack Rabbit Slim’s!” Which causes many people to yonni/laurel a police report about a trophy theft.
@@mcfierce It doesn't happen. You do hear an advert for Jack Rabbit Slim's though. It's crazy just how widely spread this myth is considering you can literally go to the scene in question to know if it's true or not.
Hey, one of my favorite reactors doing one of my favorite movies. Makes for a good weekend. Things I've learned about Dawn today: - She apparently makes a very good milkshake. - She knows more about piercings than I expected.

The reason Mia ODs is because of a throwaway line. When Vince is buying drugs, the dealer says "I'm out of balloons, will a baggie work?" because heroin and coke are sold in different containers to tell them apart. When Mia finds a baggie of white powder in Vincent's coat, she assumes it's coke, but ends up snorting heroin instead - big no no. So many really subtle lines of dialog in this movie that have huge ramifications.
Holy hell ive seen the movie a million times and didnt even clock that. Nice.
Trust me, you buy dope in baggies all the time. Or gum wrappers. Or tinfoil. Or gelatin caps.
I don't know if this is true, but I heard that a snorted overdose of heroin wouldn't show the symptoms Mia has.
You can rail boy but I'm assuming it was her first time, Vince's stuff was really powerful and she did a lot
Heroin abuse makes you constipated, which may be why Vincent spends so much time in the bathroom.
My favorite aspect of this whole film is how lucky Butch becomes immediately after he puts that lucky watch on him. He caught his assassin on the toilet, he was in perfect position to run over the mob boss who put out the hit, he didn't get picked by Zed...dude literally got a +5 to his luck stat.
It's also a 'war watch' and Butch goes to battle almost immediately after he dons it 💪
Never thought of it like that. Excellent point.
@yt45204 a cell mate with something uncomfortable up their arse...
Hehe...makes me wonder how recently Grace's tank was filled
@yt45204 And his cellmate ends up with something up his ass.
"Holy crap, it's Christopher Walken!" The proper response :)
This channel has taught her well.
It wasn't Vincent's gun, Marcellus left it when he went to get coffee. That's why Vincent didn't come out and check when he heard someone come into the apartment, he thought it was Marcellus coming back.
I have seen it dozens of times and never got that until now. Thanks
That makes a lot of sense. When I first watched Pulp Fiction it did take me some time to tie Butch meeting Marcellus at that intersection. Of course he was there at the apartment with Vincent and stepped out to get some breakfast.
Yeah, my buddies wouldn't believe me until I pointed out that Marcellus carried two cups of coffee...
One thing i noticed recently is that Vincent is reading a Modesty Blaise book - seems a bit odd for Vincent, is there a reason why ?
That's cool, but how do you know Marcellus went along with Vincent? How do you connect the dots?
Heroin makes you constipated, which is why Vincent spent a lot of time in the loo.
It also causes tremors, which contributed to Marvin's death.
Which is why Vincent is in the bathroom every time something bad happens.
1) Mia overdoses.
2) Ringo and Yolanda Rob the restaurant.
3) Butch shoots him.
All that good stuff does. Dilaudid, Morphine, Oxycontin...it's worth it for Dilaudid and China White lol
Coca is sold in bags and heroin in balloons, guy says to Vincent "I am out of balloons" and why Mia mistakes what it is.
You give drug dealers/users too much credit. Drugs a sold in anything. Bags , balloons, foil, folded up dollar bill, you name it, but as long as it can hold drugs, a drug dealer will sell whatever drugs in it lol. This mysterious code of what drugs to put in what container doesn't exist lol
Every UA-cam reactor at the part Vincent can't find the intercom: "Hey, that's the meme!"
It's very strange to think from what kind of perspective does the younger generation see things from. They grow up in the middle of all kinds of memes and easter eggs thinking they are funny, but completely missing the funniest part of it, not knowing what are they referring to.

@Dularr yeah he was like where when mia spied him
I love how you had built up this big love scene in your head and WHAM it turns into a medical emergency.
Marvin is a prime example of why finger discipline is so important when handling firearms.
No accidents with guns, only negligence of safety
or don't point your gun at something you don't want to kill
That would be «trigger dicipline». But yes.
Both finger _and_ barrel discipline. It should be both, but if I had to make a strict choice between the two, I would go with barrel discipline. At least that way, even in the case of an unlikely discharge by malfunction, that round is probably not going in a harmful direction.

Crazy how popculture actually has the power to influence the masses.
“Oui oui, madame?”
“No, I just need to powder my nose.”
That was well put.

“Fox Force Five” was the inspiration for the “Kill Bill” movies.
There is a movie called Force Five that might have inspired QT's Fox Force Five. Kinda underrated, with a young Benny Urquidez
I’m not sure how she thought the show “sounds boring” The premise of most shows on tv are quite a bit more boring than that

One thousand percent agree. Waiting for the adrenaline shot, I think that literally no one in the theater was breathing. An incredible experience.

I was 13, sitting next to my parents, who had no idea what kind of movie we were about to see. I still remember glancing side to side when Miserlou dropped in the titles, trying to figure out if I was allowed to laugh at HoneyBunny’s dark turn… 😅
I wasn't able to see it in theaters but I was able to see it on VHS 1.5 years later. One of the greatest viewing experiences I've ever had, and if I watch it under the right circumstances, it's like watching it for the first time all over again. Truly a sacred film for me.
After seeing this film, I ALWAYS check my bowl of rice in case there's a hitman hiding in there.

The scene where Butch saves Marsellus is definitely a disturbing-as-all-hell scene straight out of Deliverance. The reason why Butch saves Marsellus is because, despite him deciding to throw a boxing match, he is a man of honor and he just would be unable to live with himself if he left Marsellus to be raped and presumably be tortured in other ways and then eventually be killed. That's why he went back.
Also parallels with Butch's father dying as a tortured PoW 🤔
I’m afraid that you are wrong he goes back because having now killed two people sort of by accident he is getting a taste for it and realises that he has an opportunity to kill again and get away it on the basis of self defence this is why he takes so long selecting his weapon. If you need more he comes from a long line of warriors and lives in a time with no wars to fight and killing brings him closer to his family heritage this is what the gold watch story is about.
He didn't throw the match. He agreed to, but he scammed the scammers.
Marcellus pays him to go down in the 5th so he can win more on a bet. Word leaks that the fix is in and odds skew against Butch. Butch then bets the money Marcellus gave him on himself and instead of throwing the fight beats his opponent so badly he dies. Since word of the fix put long odds up, he won big.
He never intended to throw that fight, he was scamming the scammers the whole time.
I think Butch went back to save him 1) because its the right thing to do, but also 2) if he saves him, Marsellus won't try to track him down and kill him. Remember that Marsellus was ready to scour the earth for him.
@@voodoochild1975az ahhhh, I never thought about that! Thanks for pointing that out!

I love your reaction to this! I had the same reaction when I saw it in the theater. All of a sudden, I understood what art in cinema was. Had never seen anything like it.
As Dawn Marie clearly states..."finally,..finally"
Oh goody I am so excited...
Edit:....I'm back. Some background history. This movie was heavily marketed before it's release. Quentin Tarantino's star was soon to rise but few knew of him yet and even fewer had seen a little movie called Reservoir Dogs, but the movie industry had great expectations for this new storyteller.
I saw this movie opening night in a packed theater with a crowd of people who mostly had no clue what they were in for (except those of us who were there because we had recently seen True Romance and Reservoir Dogs)
The theater was so confused by the goings on especially by the howls of laughter come from the few of us in the know...when Vicent blew Marvin's head off the entire audience gasped in horror except for 10 of us that could not stop laughing...that was a fun night
Pulp Fiction broke the mold for movie making and won Tarantino the Palm de Ore at Cannes that year. Copycats abounded soon there after and eventually it was not remarkable to have a storyline that would be called "Quentinesque"
It is easy to forget how remarkable it was to have seen this movie when it was fresh and to realize how much foreshadowing to future movies there was in this one...well?...there you have it.
Thanks Dawn Marie. That was a long wait but now we welcome you into the club
Aw shit I shot Marvin in the face 😂
It shouldn't be funny but damn that delivery
subscribed with no hesitation. you’re one of the few rare reactors who totally got the vibe of the film. Everyone else is trying hard to follow what’s happening and end up bullshitting or talking over the dialogue which is the real star of Pulp Fiction. Plus your sarcastic comments and rejoinders made it 2x funny.
Just for a little clarification Vince wasn’t pooping a lot. He was trying to poop a lot. Opiates and constipation go hand in hand.
Yup, he never got the chance to get that done, explaining (backwards) why later (but in the film, earlier) he took the risk of using the toilet in the apartment of a guy he was sent to murder.
"Powder my nose" is usually a more lady-like euphemism for peeing, and refers to applying old-style make-up foundation which always came in a power form, usually in a compact, both of which are done in the bathroom.
you'd be surprised how effective someone is who can be clear and calm under pressure. most people have a hard time in a crisis but can follow commands delivered effectively. someone like the Wolf may not "do" a lot but he provides a structure and has resources to solve problems, as well as thinks ahead and pays close attention to details that could derail the entire situation.
having a junk yard to instantly crush the car is what he offers.....
OMG wasn't really expecting Dawn to do this one
I'm putting on my seat belts
Dawn Marie: Is this whole movie gonna be about a foot massage?
Quentin Tarantino: Mmmmaaaybe!
Yeah Quentin has a thing for feet...
Dawn you couldn't let go of 'foot massage' or 'butt-watch' for most of the movie lol 🤣
The guy who comes out of the bathroom blasting @26:17 is actor Robert Arquette. Robert later became Alexis after a gender change. Many might know Him/Her as the Boy George look a like in the movie "The Wedding Singer".He/She was a sibling of Rosanna, Patricia and David Arquette, she passed away in 2016 from AIDS related health issues.

@DawnMarieX Your comment about the silliness balancing the seriousness is just about the best analysis of this movie ever.
Uma Thurman, when reading the menu in the restaurant, mentions a "Durward Kirby burger. Durward Kirby was a television announcer and sidekick on the Gary Moore Show in the 1950s and Allen Funt on Candid Camera in the 1960s.
Pulp Fiction - the definition was literally given at the very beginning of the movie.
I would like to recommend Jackie brown.
I'm pretty sure she's going in order so it should be next.
I hope Jackie Brown leads Dawn down a Pam Grier movie rabbit hole 😍
@@LordVolkov Yes, I second that.
Yes! That movie gets overlooked far too often! And it shouldn't. It's up there with his best.
YES, PLEASE! I would LOVE to see Dawn react to Jackie Brown, arguably my favourite Tarantino movie!
Jules’ last scene is toward the beginning of the film just after we meet Butch. Jules is wearing the blue t-shirt, and is returning the briefcase. We can assume that he tells Marcellus that he’s quitting, and that he continues on to “roam the Earth”. That’s why Marcellus is partnering with Vincent to hunt for Butch. It’s a whole chain of events based on honor that lead to which characters live and die.
Also Jules does show up travelling the Earth in Kill Bill, where he's the pianist and gets shot, which kind of proves Vincent right that it was simply a coincidence they survived.
The amount of, 'That's what she said' moments I had in my head during this one.... Great reaction as ever.
Tarantino famously has a foot fetish. Now that you know that, you'll notice all the foot stuff in his movies. There's a lot.
That was a fantastic reation video, Dawn Marie! So much fun to watch! Pulp Fiction is a true classic.
Quentin Tarentino's foot fetish is well-known. Enjoyed your reaction.
The incidental dialogue is what makes this movie so great. John Travolta explaining that a quarter pounder is called a royale in France because they use the metric system. What do the call a Big Mac, Le Big Mac. What do they call a Whopper, I dunno, I never went to Burger King. It's comedy gold all played with a straight face.
"The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd."
SLJ should have won an Oscar!
This is the scene where Jules confesses and then pays for his sins by giving away his $1500 so he can "walk the earth".
Poor Ving Rhames. Really gives new meaning to his Arby's slogan he voices... "WE HAVE THE MEATS!"
Daddy-O is a term used to address men in the 1950's. You can also hear Marty McFly say it in Back to the Future. "Bloody as hell" is that restaurant's way of saying "rare cooked beef on the burger." The term "powder my nose" originated when women would go and fix their make-up, but then became a euphemism for "I'm going to the toilet." In this case, Mia is jokingly using it to mean she's actually putting powder up her nose.
I'm married to a Brit. The UK doesnt allow (safety laws) rare cooked beef. No lie. No cap for my skibidi ohio toilet folks
@@zedwpd That probably should be narrowed to "ground beef". Rare cooked steak is perfectly safe, so long as the surface is sufficiently seared killing any bacteria. Ground beef however, would carry any bacteria throughout the patty and would require enough heat to kill bacteria inside.
I’m sure you’ve been given a lot of Tarantino advice, but between Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown there’s Four Rooms, of which he wrote, directed and starred in the fourth segment and Destiny Turns on the Radio, his first acting-only role and Sleep With Me, where he has a small but funny cameo. In addition, there’s Killing Zoe, written and directed by Roger Avery, the co-writer of Pulp Fiction amd is an interesting companion piece.
The briefcase holds Marcellus's soul.
Thats what everybody said until Tarantino said the briefcase holds whatever YOU the audience thinks it does.
Marcellus has a band aid on the back of his neck when first seen.
The 'its his soul, in the briefcase' crowd
(unlock code: 666),
assumes that happened when Marcellus sold his soul.
Legend has it,
that when you sell your soul to the Devil,
he pulls it out the back of your neck.
The simple explanation for the band aid,
is that Ving Rhames cut himself shaving his head.
But the,
its his soul crowd!!!!
will NEVER buy it.
LOL
It's got gold in, that's why there's a gold coloured light whenever it opens. Good grief.
Ya I was sold on that theory as well. The thing was Tarantino shot the film and sets so well, you look into EVERYTHING having a symbolism. You could say the watch story actually fortells the anal rape later as well.
Besides being an incredibly entertaining movie, there's a whole context behind the success of Pulp Fiction that's lost on many young viewers. This was coming off of the 80s, a decade of safe, sentimental films, and while there were a few good crime films they were traditional and beginning to feel a bit stale. Either they were call back to 40s and 50s noir or crime epics like The Godfather.
Then along comes Scorsese's Goodfellas (1990) and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) to spice things up. PF especially brought a fresh new approach to criminals and thugs on screen. Critics and filmmakers were the first to praise the film for it's witty, musical and 'naturalistic' dialogue. It's like you're just hanging with average people in their day-to-day lives. Along with Goodfellas and Reservoir Dogs, PF influenced every crime movie of the last 30 years. Suddenly every gangster flick has a pop music soundtrack, a character-mosaic structure with time jumps and lots of snazzy camera work.
Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman arguably pioneered all of this stuff back in the 70s with films like Mean Streets (1973) and Nashville (1975) Tarantino basically took all that, as well as tropes from 70s Exploitation films and blended it up. Like they say... if you're going to steal, steal from the best. Which he does.
As a screenwriter, though, he's an original in a league of his own.
The suitcase whose contents glow when it is opened is a tribute to the 1955 film Kiss Me Deadly.
And, sorry to spoil it, but it was just a lightbulb. Maybe it was meant to be gold bars or something. Bit of a MacGuffin in its own way.
@@BaccarWozat Was supposed to be Marcellus' soul according to some.
@@RickLacy-b3xaccording to online idiots
Dawn Marie!
9 months gestating!
At this point in your journey you must watch the spoof trailer "Gump Fiction"!
They managed to get Phil Lamar (Marvin "one body, no head") and nobody else from either movie, but it's very fun.
The reason they had Phil LaMarr on Gump Fiction was because Gump Fiction was a MADtv sketch and (at the time) Phil LaMarr was a cast member. MADtv was basically a sketch series akin to Saturday Night Live, only it was an hour long, aired on the West Coast, lasted from 1995 to 2009 (with a limited-run revival in 2016), and didn't have many famous alumni (barring Jordan Peele, Keegan Michael Key, Phil LaMarr, Debra Wilson, and Taran Killam), but was considered a fan favorite to those who thought SNL wasn't the comedy powerhouse it used to be.
It doesn't matter what was in the briefcase. It's what Alfred Hitchcock called a (MacGuffin). Which is nothing more than a trigger for the audience to obsess over in order to move the plot along.
It's whatever you think that it is. Quentin Tarantino made the contents of the briefcase vague on purpose in order for people to obsess over it.
@yt45204 How does one use the three seashells anyway? 😉
“Zed’s dead” was a line that reverberated through the hallways back when I was in high school. I rewatched it a while ago and as much as I like Tarantino, this was his magnus opus.
"I could watch him all day..."
Christopher Walken (and Eric Stoltz, the drug dealer) is in The Prophecy, also from 1995. I think you would especially enjoy Walken's performance in it 😉
Also check out The Dead Zone for Walken in a Stephen King adaptation (more thriller than horror)
For a comedy with Walken - Joe Dirt
Ah, Eric Stoltz, he played Liam Neeson‘s friend in the movie Rob Roy, which is set in Scotland by the way.
@@thkempe I bet the timeline where Eric was Marty McFly is way more depressing than this one 🙃
When the Wolf said "It's 30 minutes away - I'll be there in 10", my first reaction was "Ah, this guy drives like my dad."
In today's L.A. it will take an hour and a half! 😂
@@Reclining_Spuds Hell, even THEN!
Also highly unlikely in LA as the traffic is just brutal. 10 minutes away can literally take an hour.
There's a neat milkshake bar near me that charges between $9.25-19.25 for milkshakes, depending on the size ordered, but these things are extravagant.
Butch was paid to take a fall. He took the money, then spread the word that the fight was fixed, making him a huge underdog. He had a friend lay bets on him at several bookies and won, getting a huge return.
"Coke I heard was the fancy drug. But I don't know why because usually it's up people's butts."
More people should be asking these questions.
16:21 haha, great question. I've never heard anyone ask this!! Who got the watch out of his dad's ass? hahahaha
Obviously the guy who put it up his ass next. Its actually a miracle he didn't get dissentry as well just from that transfer as he likely had no fresh water before the guards checked the body.
Enjoyed having my morning coffee and your company while watching this movie again.
Another good underrated Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown. Total different story but still has Samuel Jackson
It's a different story because it was written by Elmore Leonard.
You should watch Heat with Pacino, De Niro, Jon Voight, Ashely Judd, Tom Sizemore, Ted Levine (that dude is excellent at playing cops), a young Natalie Portman, Hank Azaria (one of the voice actors from the Simpsons).
Was Charlize Theron in it too, or am I confusing her with Ashley Judd?
@@wyldhowl2821 Theron and Judd do look similar, I made the same mistake, but AFAIK Theron was not in Heat.
The opening of the film starts with the definition of pulp fiction.
I'm glad you noticed Winston Wolf acknowledge how good the coffee was; most reactors miss that, or dont feel the humour. It's my favourite scene.
Jules notices as well too.
Remember: the dude who comes out of the room to shoot at Vince & Jules - that is one, of not the only time he looked masculine. He was an Arquette. He was trans way back when. Example: the keyboard player in The Wedding Singer.
The actor eating the Burger, Frank Whaley; he is Moonlight Graham! As well as the dude from Con Air who made things get done.
Marvin is Mad Tv alumni Phil LaMarr. He’s been a prolific & in-demand voice actor for the past 15 years.
I always thought that guy looked a bit like Jerry Seinfeld.
Your reactions for Taxi Driver and Pulp Fiction popped up in my feed this week and I enjoyed them both, two absolute classics and two fun reactions. I see a bunch more reactions to some pretty sweet flicks on your channel, so I’m definitely subbing. Keep up the great content 💪🏼😅🍿🎬
Marvin was their man in the siuation and was expecting them at a particular time which is why Vincent and Jules are being particular about the time they go in.
“That’s the meme!”😂
Thanks!- it’s like watching it again for first time.🍿😊
Jackie Brown next. One of Mr Samuel L Jackson's finest performances.
There is some conjecture that the briefcase contained Marsellus' soul and the scar on the back of his neck refers to Asian mythology that the soul leaves the body thru that point.
The title "Pulp Fiction" is derived from the term "pulp fiction" which was used to describe the old action low intellect but high action/excitement/exploitation stories published in cheap magazines that were printed on the lowest grade wood pulp (hence the term PULP fiction) paper stock back in the old days.
...cheap detective novels printed on low grade paper (pulp). Note Michael Caine in PULP (1972).
@@jollyrodgers7272 Yes!
I heard a different version, which I posted in these comments. Your story sounds... more probable, but I'm not 100% convinced.
i was told back in the day that the shiny thing in the briefcase is the soul of Marsellus Wallace. Thats the reason for the bandaid because that is where souls are extracted from.
The band aid is because Ving has a scar. And QT knew people would think his soul was extracted
He had a plaster on the back of his head because he cut his head accidentally and Quentin Tarantino liked it so much he kept it in, what is in the briefcase? Whatever you want it to be , you decide and let it become your movie.
Some speculate that Marcellus' soul was in the case; it was extracted through an incision in the back of his neck. That's how you remove souls, you know. I mean... that's what I heard.
Nobody gets away with stealing Mr. Wallace’s favorite lightbulb. An unpleasant visit during breakfast will be forthcoming.
@@billtisch3698total BS
They told you what pulp fiction means I the card at the very beginning.
One of the movies of all time - I was waiting for when you'd react to this ever since Reservoir Dogs and I'm here for it
"Are you sure it's not up your butt?" Might be the best reaction to the "where is my Father's watch" scene ever.
For most people back when this came out, this was their first exposure to a Tarantino film. I had already seen Reservoir Dogs a few years earlier, and was ready for a film like this.

History of the term (I'm going to powder my nose).
In the United States, in 1930, to keep from being regulated by the federal government, the movie industry implemented what they called the (Hays Code).
This code governed everything that an actor could say or do on screen. Which means... there was no obscenity of any kind. So, people could not say.... I'm going to the bathroom or I'm going to pee, women had to say I'm going to POWDER MY NOSE.
Powder rooms and "powdering my nose" goes back way further than that. There were actual powder rooms where people would go to refresh their powdered wigs or reapply powdered makeup. Eventually, when wigs fell out of style, the powder rooms gained chamber pots rather than powder chairs, but was still a room utilized to refresh your appearance, as well as relieving yourself. It really just became a "dignified" way of saying you're going to use the bathroom.
The drug references and movie regulations came much later, and I'm surprised to hear that "I need to use the bathroom" would have been considered obscene back then. What a change in decorum we've had since then.
@@hinney827 I think there's some thing being Lost in translation here.
Do you know what (PROHIBITION) was? The most powerful political group in the United States in the 1920s through the 1960s were Churches! These religious leaders and church groups are the ones who successfully petitioned Congress and get ALCOHOL BANNED in the United States in 1920. And then these church leaders and groups turned their eyes towards Hollywood. They were on the radio (CBS and NBC) week after week talking about the OBSCENITY coming out of Hollywood. These Church groups were petitioning the federal government to regulate Hollywood movies.
RKO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, MGM, and 20th Century Fox had meetings with these church leaders and out of those meetings they came up with the Hays Code.
Yes, women in movies in restaurants, country clubs, lounges, and bars would say (I need to go powder my nose) as code to suggest they were going to the bathroom.
Gay men in these movies were coded to be interior decorators, florist, concierge at hotels.
Husbands and Wives could not sleep in the same bed, they always had to have twin beds.
No where did I say, claim, or implied they invented the term, that's what YOU inferred! They merely used it as code!
Why don't you try picking up a history book on the Hays code before making such an asinine criticism.
You might want to look up the term blue laws as well, because you can thank churches for those too.
@@hinney827 it's apparent you don't know much about history or Hollywood. Why don't you start with (prohibition and who was responsible) and then work your way through the Hays Code. Spoiler alert, it was the same group.
I never said they invented the term, that's what you inferred. .
@@theylied1776 You very much implied that's where it was coined. You began with "history for the term" (even though it's a phrase and not a term - guess it's apparent you don't know much about the English language) and started talking about 1930, but never mentioned anything about the _actual_ origin of the phrase.

🔔 DAWN @ 8:48 The hamburger was named after Durwood Kirby, who was an electronic media personality most known for co-hosting the very popular Candid Camera TV Show. P.S. That waiter is none other than the great Steve Buscemi!

A reviewer, I think Ebert, said that Jules Winnfield and Vicent Vega discussed things with the innocence of Huck Finn and Jim floating down the Mississippi on that raft.
They did. And... it WAS like that.
I'm so glad you liked it. I remember seeing it at the theater twice! The crowd was great. But my favorite Tarantino movie is " Inglorious Bastards". It's his masterpiece.
"Did you leave it up your butt?" ROFLMAO
It’s like nature’s pocket. Just watch out that someone doesn’t pick your pocket.
36:57 You must've missed the very, very beginning of the film. They told you exactly what the title means.
I'll never forget the collective murmur then gasp, the entire theater had, when they punctured Uma Thurmond's chest with the needle. Never heard a reaction like that before or since.
Did anybody else ever notice that the waiter in "Jack Rabbit Slims" was played by Steve Buscemi? I must have watched this movie a dozen times and never noticed, until it was pointed out in a television special about Quentin Tarantino. After that I had to watch it all over again just to see it in context.
Rumor has it when that kind of thing happens in scotland they pull a guy out of the closet dressed up like a giant haggis instead of a gimp
Plus he'd probably have found a claymore sword instead
In many movies are some mystery items. They're called a McGuffin. For example, the briefcase in Pulp Fiction or the three seashells in Demolition Man.
Vincent and Mia didn't win the dance trophy. If you listen to the radio in the background, it says the trophy was stolen.
Whoa, I never picked up on that. Cool.
I cant imagine how good the other couple had to be. Fred and Ginger must have been there for a $5 shake. Lol
I've never actually heard that (tho plenty of people have said it). Where / when does it happen?
The radio broadcast in the background while Butch is sneaking through the alley towards his apartment building plays “garble mumble garble At your local Jack Rabbit Slim’s!” Which causes many people to yonni/laurel a police report about a trophy theft.
@@mcfierce It doesn't happen. You do hear an advert for Jack Rabbit Slim's though. It's crazy just how widely spread this myth is considering you can literally go to the scene in question to know if it's true or not.
