@@waveshock I dunno about ten years. He had already sunk to a career low of Battlefield Earth only six years later. He did have some decent hits in the 90's, primarily Face Off, which did make him a boatload of cash. I would say that was the peak of his career post-Fiction. I'm not saying Pulp Fiction didn't change his life, and get him some very nice paychecks in the following years. But the public perception of him as "cool" again or a great actor didn't last long.
@@sweepingdenver As I said, for the next ten years, he consistently starred in A grade films, most of them succesful... Get shorty, Broken Arrow, Face / off, Phenomenon, Mad city, Primary Colors, A civil action, The daughter's general... Battlefield earth was indeed a terrible mistake, but it did not inmediately kill his momentum, since he still starred after that in Swordfish, The punisher, Basic, Ladder 49. Wild Hogs, The taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and From Paris with love, in 2010. From there on, yeah, his career went hopelessly downhill and into the "straight to dvd" aisle. But, then again, he made a good run during those 10-15 years for an actor that was already considered washed up.
In fact i admit ..dont want too .. but really i watched pulpfiction by my selve in a theatre in holland .. it was nt a big deal .

Diablo: A really good to great movie requires a LOT of talent to come together. Acting, writing, directing, and production that is willing to stay mostly the hell out of the way, and let the crew do the work. What's more normal for movies, per various documentaries, is procrastination and far too much rushing at the end, to where it's a wonder many movies aren't far worse than they are.
@@honkytrousers well yes but you only use that saying when you’re talking about a person who gets a lot of hate. So I was just asking why you think people don’t like him. Just in case you don’t know.
Jeffrey: Self expression would be a HUGE perk of folks who produce video, movies, etc. For me, the reason I love adult cartoons like "The Simpsons" and so many others so much is all the great social commentary. To have a CAREER doing that seems like it would be MASSIVELY fulfilling compared to 99% of ordinary jobs, IMO. So for example, if it weren't for the social commentary, I wouldn't like South Park at all.
Stallone was never majorly considered. I never heard that. Tarantino himself said Matt Dillon was who he wrote Butch in Pulp Fiction for and scored Willis after Dillion was reluctant.
Nobody that has seen Reservoir Dogs and still breaths oxygen can hear the song, "Stuck in the Middle With You", and not think of .... THAT scene. Tarantino is just amazing.
Saw it in the theater as a teen in the 90's with a group of friends (didn't get carded lol), and I have it on blu ray and watch it every few years. Still holds up. Absolutely a movie fan's movie and arguably QT's best.
Super impressive video. Came in expecting another run of the mill "Things you didn't know about Pulp Fiction" and you tackled a unique angle. Also, your film samples are really damn impressive with the different clips you used (I really dug when you cut from the door closing to Jules coming out of a door in the apartment building). Really solid work!

Not every writer/director is always right on who should play his characters, but Tarantino’s casting has a better perfect ranking over his career than almost anybody else.
I think it is because he is a true old school movie fan. He relentlessly watches old films and knows them so well. So he recognizes talent when he sees it.
This movie was the first cinema experience I can remember where the audience responded with laughter, gasps or silence all in unisen. A truely magical moment.
Lol. Yes and I remember us all being confused at the beginning, wondering if they'd messed up and accidentally started the movie at some random point or even right before the end because right after the opening scene, the music starts and you see some credits on an otherwise black screen.
Rewriting history a little bit Bruce Willis didn't have a Resurgence in his career after Pulp Fiction he was at the top of his game before and after. He was one of the biggest movie stars in the world when he decided to be in Pulp Fiction.
@@blackjesus804 stinkers are usually the director's fault, bonfire the vanities was totally a misstep by the director. Hudson Hawk yeah that was his fault.
Something cool you missed was that Tarantino wanted Kurt Cobain for the part of the drug dealer. He declined due to the negative rumors that the vanity fair article had caused, but Kurt thanked Tarantino in the liner notes of In Utero.
Excellent video. It actually contained a lot I didn't know about Pulp Fiction. Very few videos deliver what they advertise. Thank you, Kolo Kino clips.

Love this movie. It may not mean a lot now ... but it was the first and only movie I've seen multiple times at the theater. In fact I went 3 times. I was blown away with the sequence, the acting, the story, everything! I owned the VHS (still do), DVD, Blu-Ray, and it's on my SSD. Fantastic movie!
I watched it in 1994 in cinema despite i wasnt 18yo. I remember my brain blowed up. One of the best movie ever. Today maybe it doesnt make any impression, becouse this format was copied million times after, but then it was so fresh and outstanding. My young years.
I disagree. I don't think movies like Pulp fiction exist. I mean a movie with so many talented actors, brilliant and witty writing, timeless soundtrack and unforgettable sets..it's unique and as relevant today as it was in 1994.
I thought I knew a lot about Pulp Fiction but I did not know all that. Finally a title that is actually true. I’m gonna have to check your other content now. Thank you.
This has to be one of the best "Everything You Didn't Know About..." films in history. I've watched a lot of "Things You Didn't About..." Or "Everything You Didn't Know About...) on this film and this is the most accurate video I've seen.
Tarantino has this skill of making every line, every move, every detail meaningful. Just imagine, when Jules is told they’re sending the Wolf and he goes “shit, negro, that’s all you had to say.” The line is sort of a joke, a break of tension, but it still doesn’t feel like improv, ad lib, mouth diarrhoea or anything like that. It feels like every word is exactly what Jules would say, he’s not a character in a movie, so much as a character alive in a movie.
I had the privilige of seeing Pulp Fiction in one of the nicest movie theatres in Amsterdam. Although i live there now, i was invited by a collegue to drive to Amsterdam with him to see this movie. This is why it has a special place in my heart, but seeing this video makes it seem even more special, and all these years i did not know!..
Wow, it's crazy to think it was almost a completely different cast. It's hard to imagine Pulp Fiction with Vincent, Jules and Butch being played by different people.
I recently saw where Johnny Depp was considered for a number of roles in "PF" including the role of "Vincent" which I think Johnny could have done well at and who was eventually cast in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". But I also heard that Quentin originally wrote the part of "Vincent" for Michael Madsen... who I'm glad turned it down... because I could NEVER imagine him in the role of Vincent.
Unbelievably perfect cast! I cannot imagine a single character being played by anyone else! Actually, there is one exception: I did find Tarantino playing the part of Jimmie to be disturbing and immersion breaking somehow. Tarantino having such distinctive features and voice prevents him from "melting in" to the movie very well.
People carry personas onto the screen. Tarantino's persona is unlikable, which I think he realizes. He played the jerk in Dusk Till Dawn, which worked for that movie. But yeah, in Pulp Fiction his energy was wrong. You'll laugh at this, but I think it's true: Michael J Fox would have played the character better.
@@timothyjones3410 I agree, MJF would have been absolutely killer in that role! As much as I love Back to the Future my favorite role of his is Frank Bannister in The Frighteners.
As a really, really, huge fan of this movie who has seen more times than I can count I gotta say this is one of the best videos that has added more to my knowledge of the film. Well done!
He did not regret losing the role of vincent. He actually said the movie would not have been excess successful if he played it because Tarantino masterfully cast his replacement a guy who was known for dancing in nightclubs and being the good guy suddenly the bad guy with a gun
Finally! A great review of a film filled with trivia that I certainly didn’t know, like a Japanese warrior striking down with _furious anger._ Although I did catch the Psycho reference with Vince.
He didn't give Bruce Willis career a "2nd wind" Bruce was one of, if not the biggest star in the world at the time. Especially with the Asian audiences. Having him come aboard the film is what gave them the freedom to do basically whatever they wanted. That all comes straight from Tarantino on Tom Seguras podcast.
As a 45 year old man, the more videos I watch concerning movies from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the more I realize that, at least in this regard, my entire childhood was a sham! Now, it’s not so surprising to me that many of the movies that were considered to be box office gold at the time did very little to pique my interest as a juvenile from the ages of 8 to 18. But when hear titles like ‘Howard the Duck’, ‘Labyrinth’, ‘The Dark Crystal’, ‘Legend’, ‘Flight of the Navigator’, ‘The Last Starfighter’, etc consistently lambasted in conversations and lists featuring “the biggest box office flops of the decade”, and even “the biggest box office flops of all time”, I have to pinch myself and reassess my position as a member of the human family. Because some folks be having sh*t for tastes in movies and music.
Quentin did some decent podcasts in the last few weeks talking about lots of this exact info. Very interesting and a good listen. He was on YMH with Tom Segura recently and it was entertaining. He even roasts Tom in the final interview minutes and embarrasses him which is awesome cuz tom is a professional comedian lol Quentin actually is a big stand up comedy fan. Anyway I suggest listening to his recent interviews! Apparently he’s only doing 1 more movie (10th) which hes stated before, but even more interesting he has written a screenplay for a potential future limited series! Im soo looking forward to seeing his future projects
Will always be one of my all time favorite films. We all have those evenings every now and again where instead of rolling the dice, you want to watch a tried and true excellent film. This is one of the movies i think of to satisfy the desire
I must have been around 13 years old when my younger brother found an unmarked VHS hidden away in the bookshelf at home and decided to see what was on it. It was Pulp Fiction. We knew we'd hit the jackpot, so we secretly watched it in installments whenever the coast was clear. We thought it was the coolest film ever, but nothing could have prepared is for the scene where Zed rapes Marcellus. We looked at eachother in pure shock, our chins hitting the floor! Then we told everyone at school we'd seen it, meaning we were cool for a week or so. Great times.
That time academy awards were still relevant. Great video about one of the best movies made, that is far beyond better than anything filmed in the current times.
Wow. You've done a great job in this video (the first of yours I've seen). I thought this would've been from a channel with far more subs! Have another sub now, though.

I'm 50, and to this day Pulp Fiction is the only movie that left me speechless after watching it. And I've seen many unbelievable movies, but when people ask me what my favourite movie of all time is, I never blink or take more than 2 seconds to answer: Pulp Fiction
Another fact is that the actor who played Marvin, the guy that Vincent accidentally shot in the backseat of the car, Phil LaMarr, also voices Samurai Jack in the iconic series of the same name...
I’m 49 years old. I was in my early 20’s when Pulp Fiction was released. changed my outlook on movies. The “I shot Marvin in the face” scene made me laugh, but I didn’t feel comfortable laughing. This is why pulp fiction was such a mind-f--
@@codymorton7703 He voices all kinds of cartoon characters. He's also Ollie Williams on Family Guy......at the time he was popular for being on MAD TV.
I can't imagine Stallone doing Butch's Samurai sword scene - nor any other actor doing any of the parts, for that matter - the casting for this film was perfect - but I suppose it's easy to say that after the fact. Some other films that I think were perfectly cast are McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Great Gatsby (the first one!) amd Withnail and I - but I'm sure there are loads more. I think someone should write a comparison between Pulp Fiction and Withnail, actually - they were filmed at about the same time on low budgets, there's lots of swearing, drug abuse, anti- 'WOKE' language etc, etc - but the main thing about both films is that they are driven by wonderful, totally believable, realistic comic dialogue which contrasts massively with the full horror of what is actually going on. Pulp Fiction is rather like a Greek tradegy, in the sense that much of the violence occurs off-screen - e.g. we don't see Brad's head being blown off, we don't see Zed being tortured to death, we don't see the boxing match in which Butch beats Floyd to death, we don't see Butch's trainer being tortured to see if he knew about the fight fix - these are just a few. The triumph of the film is that it manages to float above all this horror in a kind of 'bubble' with a wonderful, brilliantly-written, comic script. The writing also reminds me of that in Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels' - in both works, the situations that are created create a context for wonderfully absurd lines such as '... it ain't the coffee in my kitchen - it's the dead nigger in my garage' - etc. Swift was the master of this kind of writing - he creates a world in which it is quite possible for a nine-year-old girl to pick up a 'boat capable of holding 40 men' - etc., etc. Tarantino taps into that same kind of writing, which allows for completely unexpected juxtapositions - but I suspect he got it more from film than literature. The underlying 'horror' in Withnail is, of course, the potential suicidal despair of Withnail himself, who was modelled on a real person who tragically died young.
I took my girlfriend to pulp fiction in the theatre. She asked “did you like it?” I said “yeah it was good.” but I couldn’t Tell if I liked it or not. It was a mind-fuck.
Hey man I love your channel. Quentin is by far my favorite director. I'm too young to have watched Reservoir Dogs but I have watched most of Tarantino's films. Hateful 8 is by far my favorite of them all.
I'm pretty sure the role of Jules wasn't written specifically for SLJ, it was meant for Fishburne. Bruce Wilis also wanted to played the role of Vincent originally as well.
That is absolutely amazing I did not know all about how this movie went and what all was behind it and what all happened to make it become the movie that it is that is so awesome and great that you guys put this out here and let us know

John Travolta gets emotional when talking about how QT completely resurrected his career. It was an amazing performance.
In retrospect, one could argue ... "briefly" resurrected. 😬
Travolta gets emotional, period. That's what he does.
@@sweepingdenver Well, he spent the next 10 years getting roles in high profile films. Fair enough.
@@waveshock I dunno about ten years. He had already sunk to a career low of Battlefield Earth only six years later. He did have some decent hits in the 90's, primarily Face Off, which did make him a boatload of cash. I would say that was the peak of his career post-Fiction. I'm not saying Pulp Fiction didn't change his life, and get him some very nice paychecks in the following years. But the public perception of him as "cool" again or a great actor didn't last long.
@@sweepingdenver As I said, for the next ten years, he consistently starred in A grade films, most of them succesful... Get shorty, Broken Arrow, Face / off, Phenomenon, Mad city, Primary Colors, A civil action, The daughter's general...

Wild Hogs, The taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and From Paris with love,
in 2010. From there on, yeah, his career went hopelessly downhill and into the "straight to dvd" aisle. But, then again, he made a good run during those 10-15 years for an actor that was already considered washed up.
The casting in Pulp Fiction is just perfect and timeless. In fact, the whole movie is a masterpiece.
It was a movie of its time and hard to believe Tarantini kept to his guns in keeping Travolta.
In fact i admit ..dont want too .. but really i watched pulpfiction by my selve in a theatre in holland .. it was nt a big deal . But i came out feeling something i never felt before i had extasy and was repeating this line to miself the whole time " this is what movie making is about !!!!

Travolta as Vincent Vega is Tarantinos biggest stroke of genius
Him pushing Bruce Willis to do butch was also epic.
Agree. Travolta and Willis were superb in Pulp Fiction.
That man knows how to cast his films better than any studioproducer etc.
He said once it was suppose to be Michael Matheson
I would submit that getting Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa was as good or better
Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank…. 1994 was quite a year for movies.
Wow that’s like 2018 for video games
@@Batt-man 2019 for viruses
Gump was by far the worst of the three
Pulp has grown in stature - the others have waned.
True lies, speed, drop zone, terminal velocity, fresh , wolf

Love Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction but Shawshank should've won best picture for 1994.
Greatest movie ever made is Harlem Nights

As a 45 year old man, the more videos I watch concerning movies from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the more I realize that, at least in this regard, my entire childhood was a sham!
Now, it’s not so surprising to me that many of the movies that were considered to be box office gold at the time did very little to pique my interest as a juvenile from the ages of 8 to 18. But when hear titles like ‘Howard the Duck’, ‘Labyrinth’, ‘The Dark Crystal’, ‘Legend’, ‘Flight of the Navigator’, ‘The Last Starfighter’, etc consistently lambasted in conversations and lists featuring “the biggest box office flops of the decade”, and even “the biggest box office flops of all time”, I have to pinch myself and reassess my position as a member of the human family. Because some folks be having sh*t for tastes in movies and music.
Safe to say, Samuel L. Jackson's Broadway experience has taken him far to unforgettable places.
So silly of Michael madsen to pass up on playing Vincent. But I'm glad he did and Travolta immortalized it
Thanks Harvey, without you this film would never have been made.
Excellent video, I hope your channel gets big. internet needs thorough and on topic videos like this with great editing.
Thank you! Working on it!
in an interview between Tom Segura, Tarantino explained the way Bruce Willis was cast - the story is different from how it is explained here.
A random youtuber or the man himself? Who do you believe?
Exactly, wasn't the part written for Matt Damen ?
@@madeleyinc are you sure about that? damon was 24 when pulp fiction came out... would been too young looks wise if you ask me..
Second wind for Willis? His career was at heights. He was continuing to rise.
I would agree. I recall wondering at that how they could have afforded him.
How have I only just found this channel and it’s only got 10k Subs! Currently binge watching your videos, love it
Quentin did some decent podcasts in the last few weeks talking about lots of this exact info. Very interesting and a good listen. He was on YMH with Tom Segura recently and it was entertaining. He even roasts Tom in the final interview minutes and embarrasses him which is awesome cuz tom is a professional comedian lol Quentin actually is a big stand up comedy fan. Anyway I suggest listening to his recent interviews! Apparently he’s only doing 1 more movie (10th) which hes stated before, but even more interesting he has written a screenplay for a potential future limited series! Im soo looking forward to seeing his future projects
Shoutout to the mommies 👖
When QT called out Tim for not actually reading his book after saying he did . . . epic lol
Great editing! Info that’s very well put together.
Vincent Vega is honestly quientin taratinos best charcter
I say Jules Winfield or Cliff Booth.
I can't go with anyone other than Colonel Hans Landa
Hans Landa
Jules Winfield or Hans Landa
This might be the best "additional information video," I've seen on "Pulp Fiction."
Mike Madsen should not think of it as regretful, he did what he thought was right at the time and Wyatt Earp is a great movie as well!
You made me want to watch Pulp fiction for the 17th time and that isn't a bad thing.
The casting of John Travolta as Vincent Vega is like the best in casting history lol
Will always be one of my all time favorite films. We all have those evenings every now and again where instead of rolling the dice, you want to watch a tried and true excellent film. This is one of the movies i think of to satisfy the desire
Tarantino himself tells a very different story of how Bruce Willis got cast
One of the all time greats.
Thank you for showing things I really never knew!
I must have been around 13 years old when my younger brother found an unmarked VHS hidden away in the bookshelf at home and decided to see what was on it. It was Pulp Fiction. We knew we'd hit the jackpot, so we secretly watched it in installments whenever the coast was clear. We thought it was the coolest film ever, but nothing could have prepared is for the scene where Zed rapes Marcellus. We looked at eachother in pure shock, our chins hitting the floor! Then we told everyone at school we'd seen it, meaning we were cool for a week or so. Great times.
That’s an awesome story and an epic find!
That's hilarious, my mom rented it for the whole family to watch at my grandma's!!😂
That time academy awards were still relevant. Great video about one of the best movies made, that is far beyond better than anything filmed in the current times.
Arguably the best movie ever made.
Certainly in the top 3.
Vincent Vega has to be one of my favorite characters ever.. The whole cast is a perfect fit..
Wow. You've done a great job in this video (the first of yours I've seen). I thought this would've been from a channel with far more subs!
Have another sub now, though.

I'm a huge Tarantino fan and I love this video!! Fascinating info!
What a glorious era. Imagine Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump competing for Oscars... Today we have Marvel and DC bullshit.
true that !
That OD scene with Arquette is gold. This is one of the scenes that is funny and dramatic at the same time.
@@avzeolla3960 yeah, Lance arguing with his wife finding the medkit was fucking hilarious
@@d1want34 GET THE SHOT!!
@@bostonbangouts I WILL IF YOU LET ME!!
Look who’s talking is absolute gold and to disagree is blasphemy
Wait! What? Look Who's Talking is considered a bad choice? That a fucking 80s classic!!
Right, Funny that Travolta and Willis ended up being in Pulp Fiction.
What a year for movies! Forest Gump & Pulp fiction are 2 of my all time favs & I love to be here when Torrentino made all of his amazing movies !
John Travolta was perfect for Vincent Vega
I'm 50, and to this day Pulp Fiction is the only movie that left me speechless after watching it. And I've seen many unbelievable movies, but when people ask me what my favourite movie of all time is, I never blink or take more than 2 seconds to answer: Pulp Fiction
Forest Gump trouncing Pulp Fiction at the Oscars is all the reason anyone would need to discredit that award.
I thought I knew everything about this movie... but I learned a few things here!
Another fact is that the actor who played Marvin, the guy that Vincent accidentally shot in the backseat of the car, Phil LaMarr, also voices Samurai Jack in the iconic series of the same name...
I’m 49 years old. I was in my early 20’s when Pulp Fiction was released. changed my outlook on movies. The “I shot Marvin in the face” scene made me laugh, but I didn’t feel comfortable laughing. This is why pulp fiction was such a mind-f--
Doesn’t he voice Vamp in metal gear solid also?
@@codymorton7703 He voices all kinds of cartoon characters. He's also Ollie Williams on Family Guy......at the time he was popular for being on MAD TV.
This man is a genius in all his film making!
It's a great movie!!!
Just found this channel, nice to see your a small channel rather than another clickbait channel. Keep up the good content.
imagine a movie so old, bruce willis still had enthusiasm for a role...miss those old days
Changed my life. Bring in the gimp was on my answering machine message
Back when this was released, it really did change some of the pictures released after...so many wanted to be like it!
Am I the only one that doesn’t know what was in the briefcase?
It was M. Wallace’s soul
@@jessicab9660 nah, his porn stash
I think the whole point is that nobody knows so everybody gets to have their own pet theory
@@daneenmurf1043 OK, that makes sense. Thank you. 🙏🏻
great video! Really enjoyed watching it. Felt like a TV production
I can't imagine Stallone doing Butch's Samurai sword scene - nor any other actor doing any of the parts, for that matter - the casting for this film was perfect - but I suppose it's easy to say that after the fact. Some other films that I think were perfectly cast are McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Great Gatsby (the first one!) amd Withnail and I - but I'm sure there are loads more. I think someone should write a comparison between Pulp Fiction and Withnail, actually - they were filmed at about the same time on low budgets, there's lots of swearing, drug abuse, anti- 'WOKE' language etc, etc - but the main thing about both films is that they are driven by wonderful, totally believable, realistic comic dialogue which contrasts massively with the full horror of what is actually going on. Pulp Fiction is rather like a Greek tradegy, in the sense that much of the violence occurs off-screen - e.g. we don't see Brad's head being blown off, we don't see Zed being tortured to death, we don't see the boxing match in which Butch beats Floyd to death, we don't see Butch's trainer being tortured to see if he knew about the fight fix - these are just a few. The triumph of the film is that it manages to float above all this horror in a kind of 'bubble' with a wonderful, brilliantly-written, comic script. The writing also reminds me of that in Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels' - in both works, the situations that are created create a context for wonderfully absurd lines such as '... it ain't the coffee in my kitchen - it's the dead nigger in my garage' - etc. Swift was the master of this kind of writing - he creates a world in which it is quite possible for a nine-year-old girl to pick up a 'boat capable of holding 40 men' - etc., etc. Tarantino taps into that same kind of writing, which allows for completely unexpected juxtapositions - but I suspect he got it more from film than literature. The underlying 'horror' in Withnail is, of course, the potential suicidal despair of Withnail himself, who was modelled on a real person who tragically died young.
That was great! I saw things I didn’t know before like the 8 1/2 reference and the one about Sam Jackson’s speech. ❤
I took my girlfriend to pulp fiction in the theatre. She asked “did you like it?” I said “yeah it was good.”
but I couldn’t Tell if I liked it or not. It was a mind-fuck.
Hey man I love your channel. Quentin is by far my favorite director. I'm too young to have watched Reservoir Dogs but I have watched most of Tarantino's films. Hateful 8 is by far my favorite of them all.
you sound a lot like Bob from Bob's Burgers. Not just the sound of his voice but also his demeanor haha. This is a compliment.
Another fantastic gem of a video & research.
Disney will do a reimagining of pulp fiction starring Rupaul as Vincent, and Brian Stelter as the gimp.
I'm pretty sure the role of Jules wasn't written specifically for SLJ, it was meant for Fishburne. Bruce Wilis also wanted to played the role of Vincent originally as well.
That is absolutely amazing I did not know all about how this movie went and what all was behind it and what all happened to make it become the movie that it is that is so awesome and great that you guys put this out here and let us know
