It's not a Cult Classic, just a Classic. It was never not a success and didn't need to build a cult following to bring it success later which is what defines a Cult Classic.
@EmmaM-ky5dj They can call it a "frog" too, but that's not what is. It's a Classic cuz it's present on every top 100 movies list that's ever been compiled. And it's present on many Top 10 lists as well.
I'd like to think it's that thing when someone has earphones or earbuds on and they don't realize how loud they are speaking. God help them if this is her just her indoor voice. 😁
The tape deck is a reel to reel system. They have exquisite fidelity and are still sometimes used for primary recordings in the music industry and often for scientific research recordings of audio, neurological signals, geologic and seismic recordings, radio astronomy, and many other analog data applications. Even lossless formats don't have all the detail of analog signals, and scientific grade reel to reel tape is still the most reliable analog format.
When a movie has been consistently ranked as one of the best films ever made since it came out, won multiple awards, launched and relaunched careers..it's not a "cult classic", it's a "classic" period
No, it’s a cult classic. Classics are films made for general audiences. Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman, Friday the 13th, etc. are all classics. Pulp Fiction, while loved by many people including me, is not something that is enjoyed by general audiences like classics are. Many people have watched this movie three or four times and simply don’t understand it at all. It’s also way too violent and vulgar for a lot of people. Like I said though it’s one of my favorite movies and I’ve seen it almost a dozen times. It’s definitely top 20 movies of all time in my book.
@horationelson1840 It grossed over 9 million its opening weekend, overtaking The Specialist as the number one film. It was the first Mirimax film to gross over 100 mil in the U.S. and the first one to gross over 200 worldwide. It was the 10th biggest grossing film of 1994. Cult classics (like Caddy Shack or Tombstone) find their audience after they've hit HBO or video release, not as top grossing films right out the gate. By your assessment The Godfather is a "cult classic", c'mon man.
I remember there was talk of it being Marcellus Wallis’ soul in the briefcase, and that giant band aid on the back of his neck was where it was removed!
The crazy thing is I saw this at theatres when it first came out, i liked it but never got what everyone raved about. Then about 5 years ago it just was showing on TV and i just started watching it and god damn, I got it - it is one of the greatest films ever made, it's truly amazing!! I downloaded it the next day and have watched it over a hundred times since 👍👍
The reason why Vincent spends so much time in the bathrooms is because of the Heroine, that drug will make you constipated so when he is in the bathroom shit does go down ( except for his , cause he was constipated).😂
@@Anthonylokison really? You've had to explain that to me? And btw, at Mia's place he didn't take a shit or a piss, just needed a moment for himself....
Mia snorted the heroin thinking it was cocaine, that´s the detoning to had the overdose (heroin can be snorted as well, but the most common way it´s like Vincent did, using a needle. Also Mia was full of drugs in that moment). And Vincent goes a lot to the bath, due to he´s an heroin addict, and that provokes you, sometimes, constipation. Even the shot to Marvin´s face, it´s due to heroin, that also provokes you spasms (in this case pulling the trigger).
The audio device is a Reel to Reel tape deck. Provides high quality music reproduction with a large amount of storage. Large tapes could last for hours. Sometimes used to tape radio shows for later playback .
It does not matter what is in the case. It is called the McGuffin. Alfred Hitchcock named it that, the plot device that is what the whole plot revolves around, but it does not matter what it is.
John Travolta Danced in these movies: 1) Saturday Night Fever (1977) 2) Grease (1978) 3) Urban Cowboy (1980) 4) Staying Alive (1983 sequel to S.N.F.) 5) The Experts (1989) 6) Look Who's Talking Too (1990) 7) Shout (1991) 8) Michael (1996) 9) Be Cool (2005 John and Uma's 2nd dance encounter) 10) Hairspray (2007) And in (1985) John Travolta Jazzercise along with Jaime Lee Curtis.
Sigourney Weaver used to tell this story of how she'd been away working and kind of not really up on pop culture in 1979. When she went to an event and ended up dancing with John Travolta. Proper formal dancing. She asked him what he did and he said he acted. She said, "Well, you should try some dancing classes. You're really good at it." He smiled and said "I'll think about it" After the party, she said she realized she just told the guy in the biggest two dance movies in the world at the time that he should give dancing a go. 😂
Good review from you 4, but, I know why you have to wear headsets. Not to listen to the movie, but to cover/protect your ears from the loud screeching from the blonde on the left. My God that was loud and annoying. Holy crap. But at least it woke up your friend who was falling asleep. Seriously, you guys did good. Thanks.
Reel to reel tape players, or R2R's are still the preferred source for analog reproduction of audio. Although it is perhaps the most expensive and time consuming of all audio reproduction hobbies. You guys actually talk less than many solo reviewers, which was great to hear and watch. Although a lot of the 50's and 60's cultural references, such as Ed Sullivan as the host, Buddy Holly as their server, the "Douglas Sirk steak (a German director) and the "Amos and Andy or Martin and Lewis shake (chocolate or vanilla) just in the 60's themed restaurant alone went past you. Also, heroin is not meant to be snorted while cocaine is, and definitely not in the same amounts. Which is why she OD's. A nice reaction from you. Perhaps Quentin's other movies such as "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Hateful 8" would be good choices. Also doing the great western "Tombstone" should be on your list. But yes, certain scenes in this movie will forever be burned into your memory. The trope of the suitcase is an old Alfred Hitchcock invention call "The Macguffin" where an object is either talked about or displayed, but never fully seen.
Many theories about that glowing suitcase. Marcelus' soul, he wanted it back from the devil. That's why he had a bandaid on his neck. The number lock was supposedly 3 sixes. Another it's drugs, god. One theory said it was diamonds from the Reservoir dogs heist but the co writer said that was too boring so they just never revealed it. Another is it's Tarantino paying ohmage to a 1955 film noir movie Kiss Me Deadly, where it was associated with hell.
I'm of the Mr. Pink theory. I think he got away at the of Reservoir Dogs, took the diamonds to Marcellus Wallace in exchange for a new life and new identity, and then got a job as Buddy Holly at Jack Rabbit Slims, and it was the diamonds that were in the shiny suitcase.
I consider this movie to be a cult classic even though it made a lot of money. Two reasons; the director known for his status as a cult figure and the style of the movie... its nonlinear narrative structure, memorable dialogue, and unforgettable characters. It's a forward thinking movie that takes a few viewings to really appreciate it for what it is. Great reactions, by the way.
This film is a masterpiece on all fronts, writing, dialogue, acting, the shots, but the non linear storytelling, in other words, it wasn't act 1,2,3 and finale...I'm 53, saw this before the release a week before, won sneak preview tickets. Took my newly wed wife ( now ex, but we're friends) had no clue what this film was about...and one of the greatest date nites ever.
@@johnathanstruble1064 aww, Poor baby! I hurt your little feelings because I said your precious movie was overrated 🥺 Go ahead and let it, little fella… have a good cry
It's not really that much of. a joke The character is written like that because he's a heroin addict. Heroin addiction causes extreme constipation so Tarantino wrote the character trying to shit a lot.
This movie is not a "Cult Classic", it is one of the highest grossing movies of all time and was nominated for 7 Academy Awards. Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay for this movie.
I don't think it was top 5 that year or even top 100 all-time or even close. It was a success, though. I THINK without looking it made around $250M. And yes it's 100% a classic!! EDIT: I looked it up. Made $213 Million. Tarantinos 4th highest gross.
Vincent Vega has a brother who is Mr. pink in Reservoir Dogs. And Steve Buscemi is Buddy Holly at Jack Rabbit Slim's. Reel to reel is the original quality audio after vinyl.
Tarantino purposely doesn’t tell you what’s in the suitcase. He wants to keep the audience engaged and make you think on your own what’s in the case. Popular opinion is it’s Marcellus’s soul that he sold to the devil but was stolen back. People think that because of the bandaid on the back of Marcellus’s head where it is believed the soul is removed and the pass code alluded to being 666 on the briefcase.
I know that some comments have addressed what the music was being played on but I did notice what type of reel to reel this one was. It was a stereo reel to reel. Reel to reels have been used in recording studios for decades and is still used today. They had various tape sizes and multitracks from 2, 4, 16, 24 and 48. Also the red Chevelle Malibu in the film was stolen from set. It was finally found in 2013. That so wild
The suitcase with the glowing content is a referral to a famous film noir movie called Kiss Me Deadly where there is a similar suitcase. There as well they never show the content, but it is suggested it is nuclear material. The reference was also used by Alex Cox in his famous 1984 cult classic Repo Man.
The famous director Alfred Hitchcock referred to this type device as a 'McGuffin'... it isn't necessarily something of great value & in fact we may not know, only conjecture what it might actually be, but the McGuffin is used to further the plot along.
@@redcaddiedaddie Yes, like the falcon in The Maltese Falcon, it seems to be the object the whole story revolves around, but in the end has no real significance. In Kiss Me Deadly it does have significance as it reflects the fear of nuclear weapons and is used in a significant way in the end, but indeed the references to it in Repo Man and Pulp Fiction were just that and nothing more.
That look of anticipation of Roseanna's face before the shot--LOL!! 40:48..Yeah, I'd had about enough of miss emotional mouse and booted her off the chopper. 41:50--Can't rapid-fire big revolvers using that stance, ( Lots of recoil) Then firing using his eyes and not the gun sights, and too dumb to know-TORSO shots at close range!! 50:48-Hunny-Bun' don't realize at that moment, Ringo makes a good shield for Jules, and I bet she's no crack shot either.Bet they retired from crime after Jules got in their azz! Fun watching you guys react to this AFI top-100 grounbreaking film.
54:24 I recall discussions while in college not long after this film came out, and the general lines drawn were connections & similarities to old literature and psychological philosophies in what happens regarding the selling of one's soul to the devil. So, many believe marcellus sold his soul to the devil (hence the wealth he acquired... but through illegal means). The bandage on the base of his neck and the timeframe of when the audience doesn't see his face, supposedly until his soul is in the possession of his men (vincent & jules) to reclaim it on his behalf. When assembling the timeline, some things don't match up, but interesting theories nonetheless. Hard to believe it's been 30years.
TRUE STORY: I used to live in Butch's apartment building. When I was 5, I got my head stuck in the bars of the railing. The fire department had to use a blow torch to get me out.
@@joyconner2334 IMDB says 11813 Runnymede Street in "North Hollywood" but Google Maps Street View doesn't quite match. An official Pulp Fiction encyclopedia I once read just pinpointed it on a map as Long Beach, so I don't even know what to think at this point. I throw my hands up in frustration. It looks exactly like my old apartment in the movie. :)
The movie jumps back-and-forth in time. That's why Travolta was shot in one point and later he was around because it was an earlier scene. The briefcase is what's called in the movie industry a Mcguffin. It's a thing that pushes the plot along, but it's not intrinsically important to it. That's why we never see what is inside the briefcase. To emphasize that Tarantino put that glow whenever someone opened the briefcase to show it's not even anything real in there.
54:00 Then film end with "It's a chopper baby". Non-linear filmmaking. Quentin created his own class, genre of filmmaking with Reservoir Dogs. This is Hype level with everyone copying him
This is about as close as it gets to the movie watching experience I had with others when this was out in the theatre. I saw this several times when it came out, inviting new people knowing they would lose their shit. Others did the same.
They never say what's in the suitcase. There is a 1955 movie, Kiss Me Deadly, that had a glowing suitcase. That one held nuclear bomb parts. Repo Man had a glowing car trunk.
Literally “A Harvey Weinstein Production” by the way, (as he co-founded the production company Miramax, and was Quinton Tarantinos boss at the time!)😂🤣
It’s a real to real player that’s what they used to play audio for high definition, audio on usually found in studios not very common for people to have in their homes
What scene? the only mention of the restaurant after the dance is an ad that plays on TV/Radio during The Gold Watch where Butch is heading to his appartment.
"Butch makes a quick trip to his apartment, and on his way there, he walks through an alley, next to a building. When walking past one of the apartments, an ad or news report about Jack Rabbit Slim’s can be heard, and very faintly (as Butch keeps walking), it says that the trophy was stolen." @@sephjnr
06:30 Jules: "Check out the big brain on Brad!" Well, Jules and Vincent would get a good opportunity to examine, not Brad's, but Marvin's brain after the speed bump and they were on brain detail to clean the car. Jules used Marvin's brain as goddamn hair conditioner.
28:00 Such an American thing to say and it is half true. I love it. It is true that Americans bring more to life than their name, but most also mean something. It's about being free of Europe and the past, Guns blazing Butch Cassidy style. But, they still refer to themselves this type of American, this type.. LOL They are all Americans, outsiders are the best to judge ;)

To the blond lady: just shut up and let others enjoy the movie. They can hear you, there's no need to shout and you're just beeing annoying.
The suitcase with the glowing content is a referral to a famous film noir movie called Kiss Me Deadly where there is a similar suitcase. There as well they never show the content, but it is suggested it is nuclear material. The reference was also used by Alex Cox in his famous 1984 cult classic Repo Man.
The famous director Alfred Hitchcock referred to this type device as a 'McGuffin'... it isn't necessarily something of great value & in fact we may not know, only conjecture what it might actually be, but the McGuffin is used to further the plot along.
@@redcaddiedaddie Yes, like the falcon in The Maltese Falcon, it seems to be the object the whole story revolves around, but in the end has no real significance. In Kiss Me Deadly it does have significance as it reflects the fear of nuclear weapons and is used in a significant way in the end, but indeed the references to it in Repo Man and Pulp Fiction were just that and nothing more.
Jeneva is so Beautiful and funny I love her smile and her energy and her sense of humor she’s exactly my type of woman ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the beginning, you can see Vincent, in the background, walking to the bathroom!🤯
That look of anticipation of Roseanna's face before the shot--LOL!! 40:48..Yeah, I'd had about enough of miss emotional mouse and booted her off the chopper. 41:50--Can't rapid-fire big revolvers using that stance, ( Lots of recoil) Then firing using his eyes and not the gun sights, and too dumb to know-TORSO shots at close range!! 50:48-Hunny-Bun' don't realize at that moment, Ringo makes a good shield for Jules, and I bet she's no crack shot either.Bet they retired from crime after Jules got in their azz! Fun watching you guys react to this AFI top-100 grounbreaking film.
It’s called reel-reel tape player. An old school way of recording music and playback. I think it’s dope…
The waiter is Steve Buscemi and the didn t win the trophy. They steal it
Shit, you r right!! I forgot that, damn!!!! 😮. Your spelling is horrible, btw. 😢
Happy new year y'all great reaction Pulp Fiction one of my favorite movies.
54:24 I recall discussions while in college not long after this film came out, and the general lines drawn were connections & similarities to old literature and psychological philosophies in what happens regarding the selling of one's soul to the devil. So, many believe marcellus sold his soul to the devil (hence the wealth he acquired... but through illegal means). The bandage on the base of his neck and the timeframe of when the audience doesn't see his face, supposedly until his soul is in the possession of his men (vincent & jules) to reclaim it on his behalf. When assembling the timeline, some things don't match up, but interesting theories nonetheless.
Hard to believe it's been 30years.
TRUE STORY: I used to live in Butch's apartment building. When I was 5, I got my head stuck in the bars of the railing. The fire department had to use a blow torch to get me out.
What city is that apartment in? It always reminds me of Long Beach or somewhere in LA County.
@@joyconner2334 Long Beach. You got it. :)
@@theshakyproject2971 I should know my own hometown! What street is it on??
@@joyconner2334 IMDB says 11813 Runnymede Street in "North Hollywood" but Google Maps Street View doesn't quite match. An official Pulp Fiction encyclopedia I once read just pinpointed it on a map as Long Beach, so I don't even know what to think at this point. I throw my hands up in frustration. It looks exactly like my old apartment in the movie. :)
The movie jumps back-and-forth in time. That's why Travolta was shot in one point and later he was around because it was an earlier scene.
The briefcase is what's called in the movie industry a Mcguffin. It's a thing that pushes the plot along, but it's not intrinsically important to it. That's why we never see what is inside the briefcase. To emphasize that Tarantino put that glow whenever someone opened the briefcase to show it's not even anything real in there.
There's so many theories about what's in the briefcase!
54:00 Then film end with "It's a chopper baby". Non-linear filmmaking. Quentin created his own class, genre of filmmaking with Reservoir Dogs. This is Hype level with everyone copying him
he did t invent non linear filmmaking
They tried to emulate it in the movies “Go” and “Memento”.
They tried to emulate it in the movies “Go” and “Memento”.
SAY WHAT AGAIN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
7:56 "DOES HE LOOK LIKE A B*****"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is about as close as it gets to the movie watching experience I had with others when this was out in the theatre. I saw this several times when it came out, inviting new people knowing they would lose their shit. Others did the same.
They never say what's in the suitcase. There is a 1955 movie, Kiss Me Deadly, that had a glowing suitcase. That one held nuclear bomb parts. Repo Man had a glowing car trunk.
Literally
“A Harvey Weinstein Production” by the way,
(as he co-founded the production company Miramax, and was Quinton Tarantinos boss at the time!)😂🤣
18:45 is called a "Reel to Reel"
It's exactly called Royal Cheese in France, not Royal with Cheese and you cannot buy beer anymore at Mc Donald.
If you want a great film to react to you should watch The Gentleman
18:40 "What the hell is that contraption?" It is called tape mam. It is what your '69 astronauts used to fly to the moon.
I personally would prefer to see a lot more of the actual movie on the screen and a a lot less of you 4 taking up most of the screen
It’s a real to real player that’s what they used to play audio for high definition, audio on usually found in studios not very common for people to have in their homes
They actually lost the dance competition and stole the trophy. You can hear it being announced on the radio
What scene? the only mention of the restaurant after the dance is an ad that plays on TV/Radio during The Gold Watch where Butch is heading to his appartment.
"Butch makes a quick trip to his apartment, and on his way there, he walks through an alley, next to a building. When walking past one of the apartments, an ad or news report about Jack Rabbit Slim’s can be heard, and very faintly (as Butch keeps walking), it says that the trophy was stolen." @@sephjnr
Cause Mia said “I want that Trophy!”
The blonde is annoyingly loud.
I love this film, the only problem with it is Tarantino's little cameo. I hate it so much.
I've been to France, and yes, they DO serve beer at McDonald's
Ok I’ll say it out of all movies for her not to show her feet in lol
Tarantino is disappointed now.
It occurs to me that a lot of grocery stores are now selling ground decaf coffee.
06:30 Jules: "Check out the big brain on Brad!"
Well, Jules and Vincent would get a good opportunity to examine, not Brad's, but Marvin's brain after the speed bump and they were on brain detail to clean the car. Jules used Marvin's brain as goddamn hair conditioner.
Brett, actually
@@charleslee8313 Check out the big brain on Charles Lee, it WAS Brett, ACTUALLY!
28:00 Such an American thing to say and it is half true. I love it. It is true that Americans bring more to life than their name, but most also mean something. It's about being free of Europe and the past, Guns blazing Butch Cassidy style. But, they still refer to themselves this type of American, this type.. LOL
They are all Americans, outsiders are the best to judge ;)
And he dances in urban cowboy hes a great dancer !!
The bad language is what makes some of the best dialogue. Censoring it out makes this unwatchable. Not even going to waste my time.
lol why is this chick yelling all the time
"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead." - Butch
26:43 I know two guys named Butch, one of whom is my father. It's just my dad's nickname, but it is a proper name.
My late cousin was named Butch & his son is called Butchie. Them not hearing the name Butch, smh
Lots of kids named Butch, especially after WWII.
A common side effect of heroin use is constipation, which is why Vincent is always in bathrooms.
