You were kidding about Alexis Arquette, right? Alexis was my grandson's cousin once removed. Alexis had been compared to Seinfeld many times, because of the miracle scene in Pulp fiction, and got a kick out of it. Joking about how Tarantino couldn't afford Jerry, so she/he stepped up to the plate. Alexis would have gotten a kick out of that caption, rest her/him soul.@@YoureMrLebowski
Fun fact: Actor Robert Ruth is credited in the film as “Coffee Shop”. If you pay attention to when Ringo pins the manager on the counter, he says “I am not a hero, I’m just a coffee shop-“ 😂😂😂
If you watch the movie again, during the opening diner scene, there's a shot where the camera is on Amanda Plumber, and if you look closely, you'll see John Travolta in the background walking to the bathroom. Also, I own a replica of the wallet.
I love how he's done that for a lot of people's careers. Like Yanking Travolta into this movie was a comeback for him; i'm pretty sure it put Ving Rames on the map; and I'm pretty sure it gave Tim Roth and Bruce Willis' careers a huge kick in the pants. He helped Pam Greer's career that way and the guy that's in Jackie Brown with her. Reminds me of the Cohen brothers. But the cussing. I could so do without that in Tarantino's movies, man - - Especially in that scene with that horrible word...😬
@@CarolinaGirl6919 I respect that, the thing about cussing and horrible words is that they are used in reality. It's a better movie that portrays reality rather than a lame PC world.
@@gunman462 to your point about reality: in reality, most people just do not cuss this horribly all the time. in movies & books, they portray it as if people do; but really, they don't. Could be a difference b/t my gen & yours. maybe people feel like that's normal because that's what they're fed by entertainment. but it's OTT now, whereas >30 yrs ago, we still felt enough impact from the level of sex scenes/crimes/profanity to make the point without having to see it or hear it SO gratuitously. you know? That scene where Jimmy comes home and he's N word this and N word that - - just, no. BTW, my pet peeve is when movies or tv that supposedly took place in the 50s, 60s, or 70s portray people behaving and talking in ways that decent middle-class people just did not do back then. So unrealistic. No offense and thanks.
@@CarolinaGirl6919 I can appreciate your point of view but it's just wrong. The characters portrayed in Tarantino films are criminals and gangsters, they are perfectly believable to swear a lot and use the N word. If you think people just don't swear then your perspective is narrow.
@gunman462 I don't think Jimmy, who was married to a black woman in the movie would really be saying the N word every 4th word. As far as I know, he's not a gangster in this movie...
When SLJ says “The truth is you’re the weak & Im the tyranny of evil men. But Im trying Ringo, Im trying real hard to be the shepherd .” Is probably the best line in the whole movie
In the movie theater, I remember two waves of reaction to the diner scene. There were a bunch of murmurs from people that immediately recognized the diner, and then later a bunch of exclamations when you hear Ringo saying “Garçon” and people realized the scenes overlapped.
Haha. I remember the exact same thing. I was part of the second group, by the way. I remember walking out of the theater thinking, “what the f*ck did I just watch?” Wasn’t until my friends insisted I watch it again a few months later that I started to see what a masterpiece it is.
They talk about how the 'conversation is so dumb/about nothing' but I've always enjoyed that about Tarantino's dialogue between characters in scenes/moments like the start of the diner robbery. They feel natural - like what two or more people who know each other/have been around each other long enough WOULD talk about. They wouldn't be talking about just having to wash brains off themselves in a crowded dinner. They'd be talking about what they're eating. There are conversation scenes like this in Reservoir Dogs and Deathproof (come to think of it, both of those happen in a diner as well). But they're some of my favorite moments in movies. Great for showing us the characters.
The diner in Reservoir Dogs is a strait masterclass on how to tell the audience pretty much everything they need to know about the characters, just through their dialogue. So good.
Yeah, that's why, now, that kind of movie conversation is Tarantino's trademark. Like if someone said, man, feels like this conversation is from a Tarantino movie, everybody knows what you're talking about.
In fact, Dave on news radio, one of my all time favorites sitcoms, says on an episode that he feels like he's trapped in a Tarantino movie, and he wants out...😉
Jules is tested immediately upon deciding to enter his "transitional period." He could've easily found his opportunity and killed both of them before Vincent finished on the toilet.
Jackson got ripped off SO HARD for the Oscar in this movie; he was nominated and lost it to Martin Landau for ED WOOD, which was nothing but a make up award for an Oscar he didn’t win for a previous movie HE should’ve won. Sad. And unfair; this was a performance of a lifetime for Jackson; at least it made him a household name.
I love how some people were like "who's Fonzie?" Man makes it realistic that some people never caught reruns of Happy Days haha another great video dude! Again, so cool with the little trivia bubbles.
Time passes and some things are indeed forgotten or relegated to our past. All of us who were in the theater in 1994 when we saw this movie, EVERYONE knew who Fonzie was....but then most of us, like myself, were Gen Xers. We sure were lucky to have so many great songs, movies and tv shows in the 90s.
I’m always amazed at how much info gets lost generation to generation. I was born in the early 1970s and I bet 100% of Americans around my age or older know who Fonzie was. People born in 1990 or later, probably none of them know who Fonzie was.
People be like 'I know who Fonzie is- I'm so old!'. No. We're CULTURED. That, and modern Hollywood hasn't decided to do a reboot of Happy Days. Give it time.
When Jules yanked Ringo’s arm & everyone went to Beast Mode, so did the erratic transition of boxes & bubbles from the viewers. Again, seamlessly integrated & still blending the reactions (the integral part of this channel’s purpose) without overcrowding the intensity of the clip. This is not a lazy man’s channel.
In the original script, Jules imagines blowing both of them away before he decides to resolve things peacefully. Tarantino decided to cut that part out, probably because we already knew what a stone-cold badass Jules is, but it would've made a nice way to visually show just how outclassed the two robbers were when dealing with him, and how he was really choosing to save their lives rather than his and Vincent's.
The current Tarantino probably would have left that needless cutaway in. And so would many antsy, undisciplined modern filmmakers. His first three films were far superior in their restraint and craft.
@@lanolinlight What a great observation, one that I whole heartedly agree with as well. I don't know when I last agreed with a statement more than this one.👍
Never knew that, this is definitely a better choice. For me, I always felt it was as much self-preservation, keeping a lower profile as Merciful. Imo "I'm giving you this money, so I don't have to kill you" is one of the hardest lines ever, but gets overlooked. I once had a guy shadowing me for a carjacking, and we ended up making eye contact and he left me alone.
Samuel L. Jackson really had me laughing and shaking nervously at the same time in this entire scene. plus the way everyone had guns pointing at each other made me nervous to where I almost peed myself because I was certain there was gonna be a gun fight but Sam had everyone at his mercy at a Diner.
It's salvation, and Quinton did it on purpose. The whole movie might have been about salvation and everyone getting what they deserve. Vincent gets shot, Marcelus forgives Butch for losing him money on a fight that was supposed to be fixed. The rappist got theirs, and I don't want to know what that was. Mia got literally resurrected from the dead. There is a reason it got an academy award for best screenplay 1994.
"and it's the world that's evil and corrupt. Now I'd like that... But that shit ain't the truth." Jackson's acting in that scene was next level. You see him soften and smile as he describes that vision of the world we all want. The one where 'I'm the good guy, and most people are good, and it's the world that's bad'... You can even see he's still longing it was like that, but then it instantly flips to anger. He knows he's bullshitting himself, and he resents himself and the lie he's been telling himself. Only in his anger can he finally confesses what he knows deep down is the truth, "I am the tyranny of evil men." Such a powerful scene, written by an amazing writer, and delivered by an amazing actor... One of my favorites.
To further this point, if you look at the apartment door while Vincent and Jules are waiting for it to open, it’s number 416. Fourth floor. Jules was angry at Mersellus for sending someone to the 4th floor to rough up Tony Rocky Horror for disrespecting Marsellus - yet was doing the same thing (and worse) to Brett and co.
It should be added that Happy Days was very popular airing from 1974 to 1984. The show went on to become one of the most aired shows in syndication, so for Boomers, Gen X, and Elder Millennials Fonzie, aka the Fonz, became synonymous with being cool even for people who didn't watch the show. The show was an idyllic look back at the 50s where the Fonz played a leather jacket and blue jean clad biker. The character was so huge that the phrase for the phenomenon of a show deviating from its core themes is named after an episode of Happy Days where the Fonz jumps over a shark tank on his motorcycle. The show's popularity declined after this, giving us the term Jumping the Shark.
The irony of Vince dismissing Jules spiritual awakening by saying, "I'm going to take a shit," and that was what killed him in the end. This movie is so great.
I don't think some of themrealized how profound the final confrontation is. There's a reason Quentin Tarantino separated the scenes from the beginning and this. It's bc in the small moment of them surviving the gunshots, Sam's character had a deep revelation, in real time it was only about 3 hours since the shooting but after watching rh movie it feels longer, thus the stark contrast from the earlier scene with the Bible scene and this he's grown so much and it reflects that with him letting Ringo go. This movie is amazing on so many levels. Also I'd like ro add rh fact the power of "not knowing what's int eh briefcase" is one of the funniest aspects of this movie. It's the principal that Marcelus wants it that's the point. It doesn't matter what's inside it only matters that he wants it. Such a brilliant movie mechanic but so well done
I'm not sure on which rewatch I realized this, but Samuel L Jackson's "miracle and retirement", is why he isn't with Vince when Butch kills him, and likely would have died too. Its an amazingly tight script where everything is connected and there's no shoeleather.
It's funny that so many of them are obsessed with what's in the briefcase (just like many characters of the film) but we never learn whats in there because the movie isn't about the briefcase--it's about the characters and their interactions.
Pretender and an authentic gangster, now you see the difference. I told kids at my job, don't keep fighting people because you might meet the real deal. Probably not survive the encounter.
As with all Tarantino films there is inspiration from past films. The briefcase was inspired by 1955 film “Kiss Me Deadly” (a fantastic film). The briefcase in that film also contained “light” and we never see its contents.
I can remember watching this when it first came out and everyone in the room went dead silent when Tim Roth yelled for coffee lol. It was like, “Ah hell nah…”
People don't really understand how good this movie was/is!!!!! It's top 10 all time. Also, Vincent was in the bathroom trying to take a dump all the time because he was a heroin addict. Heroin and all opiate abuse makes u constipated. Clever random fact that makes the movie that much better
Samuel L. Jackson is so amazing in this scene, it's easy to overlook Tim Roth's incredible performance. To transition from raging stick up man, to a man stunned by the mystery contents of the briefcase, to terrified guy staring down the barrel of a gun in the hands of killer who has just made you feel incredibly small and weak...Roth pulls it off perfectly. Acting master class by both men.
What's in the case?....supposedly it's Marcellus Wallace's soul.... I love all of the commentary in Quentin's movies, like the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs, the hood scene in Django, coffee scene in Pulp fiction , and the famous Kahuna burger scene, I could go on and on.
Aww yeah love that you know it's his soul. Supposedly the bandage on his neck was a hint. And to your other point about Tarantinos films Jackie Brown had a buncha great scenes. And when I showed my younger cousin he was amazed. "Like ALL the actors in it are older, but they are all sOooo good... in like every scene."
Really dig the addition of factoids. This is already the best reaction compilation channel, but I wouldn't mind if you kept that up with the extras. BTS, popculture references and influences, definitions, etc. Just a thought. Great either way
Just a thought about my suggestions, not adding the info, which was obviously your idea since you did it and that's why I mentioned it. Haha. I just wanted to other fun additions. But even if you don't keep that up, keep up the great work you already do
I'm amazed at how entertaining it is seeing people react to pulp fiction 20 some years after I myself was blown away by this masterpiece. Enjoy my peeps 💯🔥
6:03 For all people who are curious and don't want to check some Tarantino's interviews. Heroin is leading to dysfunctions, that is why Vincent all the time at the toilet.
One of the greatest scene in cinema history! Sam Jackson at his peak. Back in '94 this movie took the world by storm, starting by winning the Palme d'Or from Cannes film festival. Not bad for an $8.5M budget film! @YoureMrLebowski your reactors mashups are the bomb! Just discovered the channel and already subscribed, keep up the good work!
You're Mr. Lebowski is so genius, he makes these mashup edits look seamless and easy. Anyone who has done even basic Family Footage editing knows it is the opposite. Enjoy every one of your vids, even if the movie is not a favorite.. Nice Work Sir.
So crazy that because the movie ends where it started, but the timeline ends with " Zed's dead"....there isn't actually a plot. Good guys, bad guys, beginnings, endings...none. The entire movie is dialogue driven. And I believe the best dialogue of any movie ever made.
I don’t know how Samuel L Jackson didn’t win an Academy Award. This screen is so powerful. Nice job with this video. Like the little bonus pop-ups that explain the references or song titles.
This reaction channel is top notch with the little footnotes to explain things. I only wish that one reactor didn't step on the "You'd be dead as fried chicken" line. Always look forward to content from this channel as I rewatch your videos.
And that's the best ending in a movie, ladies and gentlemen. Veni, vidi, and got absolved by a black priest with a nickeled 45 pistol. Btw, in the briefcase there's a lightbulb.
Fun fact: John Travolta wasn't the first in-line to play the lead in 'Grease'. That was Henry Winkler. Busy playing Arthur Fonzerelli on 'Happy Days'. A K.A. "The Fonz".
I believe I read somewhere that Quentin Tarantino never decided what was in the case. It's supposed to be left up to your imagination, so whatever you decide it is is what it is.
Every single reactor immediately recognized the diner. I am so stupid. When I watched it the first time (yes, 1994 in cinema), at this point I had completely forgotten about the opening sequence and only remembered it when Tim Roth called the "garcon".
The answer to the question ,whats in the briefcase is that the breifcase contains whatever each individual veiwer beleives in their own mind ,to be either riches ,jewels,drugs but whatever your imagination comes up with that is the driving force of the movie
The case is a MacGuffin, just a thing to move the plot along. All we need to know is that everyone wants it. That's the only right answer. The actual PROP briefcase contained a battery pack, a yellow lightbulb and a switch.
during the "what is it portion?" i thought about including that image, and Tarantino's thoughts on the case. based on their reactions he made the right decision.
I just noticed another fun little tidbit - the movie opens with "Miserlou", the quintessential surf rock tune, playing over the freeze frame of Pumpkin and Hunny Bunny starting the robbery. It closes with "Surf Rider" another great surf rock tune. Pumpkin/"Ringo" is wearing a shirt with a surfer pattern on it.
One of the best non-linear films ever. I tried watching the film in chronological order and it does not work for me lol. The film ends where it started, genius!
Have you ever seen Memento, by Christopher Nolan? I saw that in the theater and it blew my mind. It jumps ahead 15 minutes and then backs up 15 minutes and then jumps ahead 15 minutes and back to 15 minutes, because Guy Pearce's character has a particular type of amnesia that only allows him to remember new material for about 15 minutes. That may be my favorite nonlinear movie. pulp fiction is right there with it, though. After Inception, Memento is my favorite Nolan movie
@@CarolinaGirl6919 I love memento another one of my all time favs. Mind blowing film brilliantly structured! 👌 I have watched it in chronological order but the way it was told originally is better
Kudos again YoureMrLebowski, may I suggest perhaps, the start of the showdown in town on Village of the Year day in Hot Fuzz, "Morning." Or even the first encounter between Bane and Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, including the brief team up between Catwoman and Batman beforehand.
"Vincent!! BE COOL!" Vincent came out the restroom and went into stealth mode ..he was right there with gun pointed
He also came out of the restroom and got his ass blown back in by Butch.
@@rickpedia6724 he prolly think Butch not crazy enough to come back but regardless he was super careless. left the uzi on the counter lmaooo

I'm not sure on which rewatch I realized this, but Samuel L Jackson's "miracle and retirement", is why he isn't with Vince when Butch kills him, and likely would have died too. Its an amazingly tight script where everything is connected and there's no shoeleather.
@@xjudoflip7381But this is exactly what happened in the film
How would Jules be dead
@@chrischar9428 He would have been with Vince.
@@dracos24 but how does that mean he dies
Butch would have been dead. Jules would have been in the living room or bedroom not in the bathroom with Vincent.
I've had the wallet for over 20 years. Can't believe this movie is 30 years old this year
In the script they are called pumpkin and honey bunny. That’s their names.
It's funny that so many of them are obsessed with what's in the briefcase (just like many characters of the film) but we never learn whats in there because the movie isn't about the briefcase--it's about the characters and their interactions.
Pretender and an authentic gangster, now you see the difference. I told kids at my job, don't keep fighting people because you might meet the real deal. Probably not survive the encounter.
Only Tarantino can make dialogue this intense
the reason vincent is always in the bathroom, and the reason why he carries the book is because heroin makes you constipated.
As with all Tarantino films there is inspiration from past films. The briefcase was inspired by 1955 film “Kiss Me Deadly” (a fantastic film). The briefcase in that film also contained “light” and we never see its contents.
I can remember watching this when it first came out and everyone in the room went dead silent when Tim Roth yelled for coffee lol. It was like, “Ah hell nah…”
OMG I'm on the ground laughing and crying. 😅😅😅😅
Ringo was a changed man after that day. I like to think he became a philanthropist or something good.
"I am NOT a hero, I'm just a coffee shop..."
People don't really understand how good this movie was/is!!!!! It's top 10 all time. Also, Vincent was in the bathroom trying to take a dump all the time because he was a heroin addict. Heroin and all opiate abuse makes u constipated. Clever random fact that makes the movie that much better
Samuel L. Jackson is so amazing in this scene, it's easy to overlook Tim Roth's incredible performance. To transition from raging stick up man, to a man stunned by the mystery contents of the briefcase, to terrified guy staring down the barrel of a gun in the hands of killer who has just made you feel incredibly small and weak...Roth pulls it off perfectly. Acting master class by both men.
What's in the case?....supposedly it's Marcellus Wallace's soul.... I love all of the commentary in Quentin's movies, like the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs, the hood scene in Django, coffee scene in Pulp fiction , and the famous Kahuna burger scene, I could go on and on.
Aww yeah love that you know it's his soul. Supposedly the bandage on his neck was a hint. And to your other point about Tarantinos films Jackie Brown had a buncha great scenes. And when I showed my younger cousin he was amazed. "Like ALL the actors in it are older, but they are all sOooo good... in like every scene."
Really dig the addition of factoids. This is already the best reaction compilation channel, but I wouldn't mind if you kept that up with the extras. BTS, popculture references and influences, definitions, etc. Just a thought. Great either way
Just a thought about my suggestions, not adding the info, which was obviously your idea since you did it and that's why I mentioned it. Haha. I just wanted to other fun additions. But even if you don't keep that up, keep up the great work you already do
I'm amazed at how entertaining it is seeing people react to pulp fiction 20 some years after I myself was blown away by this masterpiece. Enjoy my peeps 💯🔥
He did finally find his spot in the world as Rufus the piano player at the chapel in kill Bill
The redhead knew what fonzie was and one of youngest amongst most of y'all !!😂
See, there is hope for this spoiled, arrogant, entitled, uncultured, and whinny generation.
The soul of Marcellus Wallace.
Some people think so but I disagree.
Damn Samuel L Jackson really did get robbed from that supporting actor Oscar.
They don’t make movies like that anymore and they never will. This was a water shed movement in cinema history.😊
The question is, did Ringo just see miracle and will it change him. Shepherd perk unlocked
THANK YOU for the written text helping us all out!!
6:03 For all people who are curious and don't want to check some Tarantino's interviews. Heroin is leading to dysfunctions, that is why Vincent all the time at the toilet.
One of the greatest scene in cinema history! Sam Jackson at his peak. Back in '94 this movie took the world by storm, starting by winning the Palme d'Or from Cannes film festival. Not bad for an $8.5M budget film!
@YoureMrLebowski your reactors mashups are the bomb! Just discovered the channel and already subscribed, keep up the good work!
This was stressful and entertaining as hell. Great job with the compilation! And the addition of trivia facts takes it to another level.
For those wondering, the briefcase contains an orange light bulb and a battery.
You're Mr. Lebowski is so genius, he makes these mashup edits look seamless and easy.
Anyone who has done even basic Family Footage editing knows it is the opposite.
Enjoy every one of your vids, even if the movie is not a favorite.. Nice Work Sir.
So crazy that because the movie ends where it started, but the timeline ends with " Zed's dead"....there isn't actually a plot. Good guys, bad guys, beginnings, endings...none. The entire movie is dialogue driven. And I believe the best dialogue of any movie ever made.
I had no idea that was Tarantino's personal wallet LMAO that's great!
The briefcase is buried in the snow in North Dakota. Near Fargo.
Appreciate your amazing work!
“who’s fonzie?” 😂🤣
You are the weak and I am the tyranny of evil men. Insane line
I don’t know how Samuel L Jackson didn’t win an Academy Award. This screen is so powerful.
Nice job with this video. Like the little bonus pop-ups that explain the references or song titles.
This reaction channel is top notch with the little footnotes to explain things. I only wish that one reactor didn't step on the "You'd be dead as fried chicken" line. Always look forward to content from this channel as I rewatch your videos.
And that's the best ending in a movie, ladies and gentlemen.
Veni, vidi, and got absolved by a black priest with a nickeled 45 pistol.
Btw, in the briefcase there's a lightbulb.
Say what you will about hamburgers for breakfast, but this sort of thing never happens at Big Kahuna Burger. ;-) RIP, Brett.
The case is a MacGuffin. It's also a reference to the movie Kiss Me Deadly
That was masterly edited YourMrLebowski!
Great movie, great reactors, great edit.
Fun fact:
John Travolta wasn't the first in-line to play the lead in 'Grease'.
That was Henry Winkler.
Busy playing Arthur Fonzerelli on 'Happy Days'.
A K.A. "The Fonz".
Just found your channel and these are great! The time and effort to edit these WOW! The little fun facts/references. Nicely done 😊👏👏👏
Thanks so much for putting this together. F'n awesome! 👍Stay cool!
I abide.
YESSSSs a perfect start to a Sunday. Thsnk you so much man
I believe I read somewhere that Quentin Tarantino never decided what was in the case. It's supposed to be left up to your imagination, so whatever you decide it is is what it is.
correctamundo.
For me, it is a man’s soul
AMAZING JOB MY MAN!!😄👍 One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies!!
Damn! Great movie and great edit. Tarentino's movies always have an unforgettable ending. My favorite by far of all his movies is Jackie Brown.
Great Ending. Training Day Bathtub Scene hopefully soon
Every single reactor immediately recognized the diner. I am so stupid. When I watched it the first time (yes, 1994 in cinema), at this point I had completely forgotten about the opening sequence and only remembered it when Tim Roth called the "garcon".
the ending must sealed the deal for the best screenwriting oscar nomination and rightfully so.
I have a theory that inside the briefcase is Marceluses soul, that's why the code for it is "666".
I think that's the general theory.
Excellent editing! Love the trivia notes too.
The answer to the question ,whats in the briefcase is that the breifcase contains whatever each individual veiwer beleives in their own mind ,to be either riches ,jewels,drugs but whatever your imagination comes up with that is the driving force of the movie
A lightbulb for sure.
I love that this movie, with such a high body count and so much gore, ends on such a peaceful, meditative note.
The case is a MacGuffin, just a thing to move the plot along. All we need to know is that everyone wants it. That's the only right answer. The actual PROP briefcase contained a battery pack, a yellow lightbulb and a switch.
during the "what is it portion?" i thought about including that image, and Tarantino's thoughts on the case. based on their reactions he made the right decision.
I find it hard to believe that none of these people, that know so much about movies, have never seen Pulp Fiction.
I just noticed another fun little tidbit - the movie opens with "Miserlou", the quintessential surf rock tune, playing over the freeze frame of Pumpkin and Hunny Bunny starting the robbery. It closes with "Surf Rider" another great surf rock tune. Pumpkin/"Ringo" is wearing a shirt with a surfer pattern on it.
One of the best non-linear films ever. I tried watching the film in chronological order and it does not work for me lol. The film ends where it started, genius!
Have you ever seen Memento, by Christopher Nolan? I saw that in the theater and it blew my mind. It jumps ahead 15 minutes and then backs up 15 minutes and then jumps ahead 15 minutes and back to 15 minutes, because Guy Pearce's character has a particular type of amnesia that only allows him to remember new material for about 15 minutes. That may be my favorite nonlinear movie. pulp fiction is right there with it, though. After Inception, Memento is my favorite Nolan movie
@@CarolinaGirl6919 I love memento another one of my all time favs. Mind blowing film brilliantly structured! 👌 I have watched it in chronological order but the way it was told originally is better
maple syrup is supposed to be on the table before the pancakes.
dude 😆
Love the details you added to the video.
13:07 “I’m with Vince”😂😂😂😂😂
Kudos again YoureMrLebowski, may I suggest perhaps, the start of the showdown in town on Village of the Year day in Hot Fuzz, "Morning."
Or even the first encounter between Bane and Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, including the brief team up between Catwoman and Batman beforehand.
And Jules was right. It was a sign for him to walk away.
OMG I love all these channels! It's like a family reunion here 😂😂😂
The factoids are a great addition! You really are the best, Mr. Lebowski!
Inside the case.....is a yellow lightbulb.
Outstanding, as always. Actually, this may be your finest work.
Now, next up in the Pulp Fiction series, Bring Out the Gimp!
Or maybe the miracle scene! It's hilarious!
It was really awesome watching these movies in the theaters back in the day, with the theaters full of people and hearing the crowds react!!!
Travolta and Jackson had some of the best male chemistry in a film ever.
