"Don't snort unknown powders in other people's jackets!"
This is truly the lesson of Pulp Fiction.
No. The moral of Pulp Fiction is: Don't go to the Bathroom. -- Bad stuff happens, everytime.
Actually, the real moral is to always wear sunglasses when opening someone else's briefcase and never ask what to Samuel Jackson.
The Moral of Pulp Fiction is don't end up with a ball and gag in your mouth
No, the true message of Pulp Fiction is gun safety, i.e.dont be like Vinny Vega. (Rest in pieces, Marvin)
I thought the moral is don't snort powders if you don't know whether it's an upper or a downer😐
When you said “I don’t like feet” I thought to myself “You’re watching the wrong director” 😂😂😂😂
At least she wasn't watching shows from Dan Schneider LOL
That's fantastic
yes that nut case Tarantino is deep desire for feet haha
Funny, since she sold feet pics once ;-)
@@paxterrania DON"T let Tarantino find out!
Ashleigh: '''I don't like feet''
Also Ashleigh: ''I might go down a Tarantino rabbit hole''
Oh Boy.
Right? Rofl... It'd be hilarious if no one clued her in and she just had the lightbulb 3 or 4 movies in.
I was going to make that same comment... she's in for a surprise as he does not hide his foot fetish, lol
Didn't Ashleigh admit to briefly being a foot fetish model? Perhaps unbeknownst to Ashleigh he downloaded some of her foot pix? Wouldn't that be mind blowing?
Hahaha, Did not pick up on that but damn thats funny!
@@Fordo007 his ultimate foot fetish came to be when he appeared in Dusk till Dawn in the bar scene with Selma Hayek
"What is up with Vincent always being in the bathroom when things go down?!" 21:12 - Constipation is a common side effect from the use of opioids such as heroin
That's ironic considering coke sometimes causes diarrhea when people cut it with baby laxative
Shall we consider that Vince died because of heroin then? Also, clumsy, never live your smg like that in the kitchen... pretty stupid death.
Oh my god i didn't know that.
@@PCube12 Marsellus left the gun there. Vincent just assumed that Butch coming into the apartment was Marsellus returning with the coffee and donuts, hence his calm demeanor while leaving the bathroom.
@@PCube12 He died because he touched Marcellus Wallace's soul and didn't repent his sins like Jules did. It's the price of the miracle of them not dying in the beginning. You notice they were holding the case when they didn't get shot? It was a miracle. That's why jewels is the only one that touched the case and lived. It's also widely believed that The guy that fell off the balcony ( allegedly over a foot massage)is the One that took out Marcellus soul that's why they kept telling the story about him. Yet Mia said He never touched me. Mia gave the soul to the couriers That's why she died but she came back to life. Marcellus gambled his soul on butches fight. there is nothing random in a Tarantino movie.
"John Travolta? I forgot he existed!" -People watching the premiere of Pulp Fiction in the mid 90s
Yeah, he was famous at the time for Saturday Night Fever. Then his career largely died for a decade or two before Pulp Fiction launched him into real stardom.
@@Sam_on_UA-cam And here I was thinking Grease ... is the word.
Don't forget the Look Who's Talking movies - with Bruce Willis as a talking baby! Actually, yes, forget those movies?
When Primary Colors came out, where John Travolta and Emma Thompson played characters heavily based on Bill and Hillary Clinton, they had to dance badly. Thompson complained because everyone knows that Travolta is a great dancer, but she can also dance well and the first time she really danced on film, she had to do it badly.
The two of them demonstrated in an interview how you try to dance between the beats instead of on them to make it look intentionally worse. Myself, I do that because I'm actually a terrible dancer.
That was Johns big comeback movie
"Why is Vincent always in the bathroom when things go down?"
Because he does heroin. Constipation is a side effect.
The more you know…
I was just coming here to leave that same comment!!
but, if he's constipated wouldn't he not be in the bathroom? I've never been on the toilet because I couldn't poop, I go to the toilet because of pooping and constipation keeps you off the toilet. In my poop/heroin experience.
a more accurate portrayal, if a bit fantasized is trainspotting, using the suppository
@@testpattern23 point 1, if he is on heroin, he will need to spend a lot of time on the toilet, hence the book. Point 2, if he comes off of heroine, open the floodgates!!
Watching her put it together is like a christmas tree being lit one bulb at a time lol. Absolutely GLORIOUS!!
I ACTUALLY PUT IT TOGETHER
@@awkwardashleigh good catch Ash ...Jules gets 'divine intervention' after quoting from the bible... Don't think anyone connected those 2 things before.
@@awkwardashleigh you should add "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas " to your list.
😁😜😋😈😍
@Ashleigh Burton Watching her put it together I was literally cheering her on like a kid learning to ride a bike. “Come on you can do it!!”
She noticed the "things going wrong whenever Vincent's in the bathroom" pattern faster than I did.
I'll never understand how anyone can hate this film
Same here
Popcorn in bed and another reactor reactor disliked it
I think people who don't understand the movie, hate it
I'm very proud of you Ashley, some other reactors didn't notice that Mia snorts Vincent's high potency heroin and not just more coke.
Thank you!!!
Yeah I really liked she got that too.
It all ties back to the dealer saying hes out of balloons, is a baggie ok
Heroin + cocaine = how John Belushi died.
@@RichardX1 Yup
That moment when you realize that there's a dance scene in the movie involving John Travolta, and Ashleigh hasn't seen Saturday Night Fever.
SNF is another movie to watch before watching Airplane!
Or the Travolta dance scene in "Michael"
Or Grease...
Or Urban Cowboy.
She didn't pick up on the Batusi either.
Once you peel back the wrap, it's basically divine intervention. Two hit men have a choice after miraculous experience. One leaves the life and lives, and the other stays and dies.
Meanwhile a killer learns to love his enemy (or at least not leave him to suffer a horrible fate).
@@nathanhall9345 Unless he did it hoping it would score enough favor with Marsellus that he'd call off the hit
Except there was no divine intervention, the bullet holes were on that wall the whole time, see 17:55
The obvious reason that Vincent died was because Jules left him alone . The underlying reason that Vincent died was because he was a heroin addict . Heroin abuse makes you constipated which was why he was always on the toilet . It was why he was such a f-up throughout the film and surely would've gotten Jules killed eventually . Anyone around Vincent was in danger of his stupidity . Without Jules to babysit him , Vincent lasted maybe a few hours . The divine intervention was Jules leaving Vincent to his own demon .
@@Transformania . Cool, never noticed that. So, what happened to the bullets fired at Vincent and Jules? Were they blanks?
I watched this movie in 1994 at the cinema while skipping college. I knew nothing about this movie except for the Uma Thurman poster with the list of of impressive cast names. The cinema was packed, but I managed to find a seat in the 2nd row. For me, it was the best cinema experience I ever had. I LOVE this movie. It's still in my Top 10.
Awesome. even imagining your experience is fun for me
This is 1 of the most overrated movies ever made
@@nsasupporter7557 I'm sorry that no one bit on this and got upset with you so that you could feel validated.
"He got high before going to see the bosses wife? This is not going to end well."
You don't know the half of it!!!!
CLEARLY
Yes! I was sitting here saying "You're right, but not in the way you think!"
I said, ohhh shiii here we go!🤣🤣
@@awkwardashleigh In the early 90s, Tarantino came out of the gate with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction--it was so astoundingly fresh and raw. We hadn't seen anything like either of those movies before. Brilliant. The Kill Bill series was too cartoonish for my tastes. But the Hateful 8 was just amazing and just as fucked up. Glad you checked it out.
@@tracyleesmith781, when you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf----r in the room, accept no substitute!
If memory serves, this was John Travolta's "come back" after he did the Look Who's Talking movies.
Very true - It's another fun thing Ashleigh gets to discover about Tarantino - his love for bringing back actors who are on a down-slide in their fame - or others that time and the industry seem to have forgotten.
It was, he was so typecast and Hollywood was avoiding him after the Saturday Night Fever movies. Bruce Willis said he would do the movie if they also hired Travolta, so Bruce is partially responsible for helping restart his career (John rocked the role, had he not done that...)
It was! And for those of us who remember the 70s, giving him a dance floor scene was genius.
And thank god for it, because without this comeback, we wouldn't have Travolta in Face Off.
@@kristennorth3268 at that point it was almost a parody of a parody. If you're Quinton and you're hiring Travolta you've gotta give him a dance number. Not only because he's amazing at it, but because it's the one thing the whole industry would get pissy and roll their eyes over.... Only to have it be one of Travolta's most memorable scenes.
The joy in watching someone properly discover Tarantino
I am actually so proud you got the timeline on the first try.
Congrats.
The timeline actually starts with Christopher Walken and Butch.
Ashleigh - "I dont like feet!"
Queintin Tarantino - "Oh dear"
Idris Elba....😳😤🙄
Haha, I came to the comments section just to say that...
Wiggle your big toe ...
The best part of this whole video is Ashley putting the time line together at the end.
Debatable...the spider ending haha
*...buffering...*
Rofl
That literally was the best part. It’s moments like these that have me coming back for more. She’s so adorkable!
If I remember right, there was a released version that was edited to be sequential.
Ashleigh: I don't like feet!
Also Ashleigh: * stocks up on Tarantino movies *
Said the girl for whom selling feet pics helped her in college....
Prediction time for the Wiggle Your Big Toe scene...
@@Billis75 I don't know if she'll like Kill Bill. I have my doubts.
This movie never gets old. Can't believe it"s been almost 30 years!! Still so good
Ashleigh seeing all the names in opening credits is life.
Thank you
@@awkwardashleigh and Ashley catches tiny glimpse of Bruce's pee pee, I think probably you saw it in your minds eye Ashleigh, Why were you not looking at his eye? lol JK😜🌻🌻💚
Such a great cast
@@Mr59Kenzo My mind instantly flashed to Tracey Ullman's witch in Robin Hood Men in Tights, and her "close" encounter with the Sheriff of Rottingham... "I was that close...I touched it." 😜😁😂🤣
I was crushed she didn't recognize Uma Thurman.
Ashleigh: "OMG, Could you have made the situation any worse!"
Zed: "bring out the gimp..."
LMAO when she said that, I about choked.
“Zed’s dead baby... Zed’s dead.”
Zed: "Shhhh"
The one night I just searched Pulp Fiction reactions and skipped ahead to see look on everybody's face when they took a guy out of a wooden crate in their basement completely clad in leather.
Okay... this movie just took an interesting turn
@@RobwLPOC "i dont think i understand kink culture" is a top tier quote
Ashleigh: I hope I recognize some people.
Me: **Leaves the room to burst into laughter**
6:30 - Ashleigh: I'm going to learn how to shoot up heroine today.
This video brought to you by Skillshare.
😂
The story behind the timeline:
Tarantino used to work in a movie rental store, and behind the counter was a TV showing a movie on a loop. When there was no customers, he could watch (some of) the movie. But customers came in, and he had to serve them, missing some of the movie. As mentioned the movie was on a loop, so eventually Tarantino, got to see all of it, but never in a straight timeline. This is, what he reconstructed in Pulp Fiction.
Tarantino: "HaHaHa They look like a couple of dorks!"
Awkward Ashleigh: "Isn't that your clothes?"
Tarantino: ...
One of the characters actually said that in the movie. Which Tarantino wrote.
@@ThreadBomb That was literally Tarantino playing that character
@@ThreadBomb HAha, And that character is played by Tarantino.
That's what Jules said....
Fun fact: Tarantino was born in Knoxville, which is why he included it in Christopher Walken's "gold watch" monologue.
"Aw man I shot Marvin in the face"
I love how Vincent says it like he spilled his drink or stepped on some gum. Funniest line in the movie.
Also the phone conversation at Jimmy’s with Jules and Wallace.
I saw this movie in the theater, and I cracked up at that line. Everyone else thought I was nuts!
@@captainsplifford The same here. We are not nuts. We just have an absurd sense of humor. 😂😂😉
@@captainsplifford Always lose it on that line haha
I heard that line was Travolta's idea.
One thing I love about Tarantino movies is how he use's music that already exist in such a way that you intantly think of the movie when you hear the song.
He shot this film to have a timeless quality, using music from different eras like "Flowers On The Wall" and cars from different eras, posters, furniture, art work. You have to watch it again to catch all this. This is a technique many filmmakers have used to keep their films from looking dated.
Pulp Fiction: More educational than any D.A.R.E class Ashleigh ever attended
And Vincent probably didn’t react in the bathroom of butch’s apartment , because he thought it was marselius, returning with the coffee .
Thanks for the missing bit in the jigsaw! I never understood why Marsallus was crossing the street with coffee at that spot!
Dude, you blew my mind. 30 years later it never crossed my mind that Marcelous with with Vince and him going out to get coffee and doughnuts for the two of them was why he was crossing the street. Brilliant.
"Is that a young Christopher Walken?" Funnily, he seemed like an old Christopher Walken at the time.
Was Christopher Walken ever not old?
@@shawnlusby1538 He's pretty young in Deer Hunter and the Dead Zone.
@@barbara832001 A View to a Kill too
@@shawnlusby1538 He's super young in Annie Hall.
Super young in Pennies From Heaven, with a super young Steve Martin as well...
"Are they beating him in the back?" -Ashleigh
Funny you should say that.
Oh, it's definitely something to do with his back
@@p.z.arnott2329 From behind, quite hard.
"... and Marcellus Wallace doesn't like to be f#%&ed by anyone but Mrs. Wallace."
@@SvenTvikingYou could have it happen to you
“I’m gonna learn how to shoot heroin today.”
“OH NO! NEEEEEEEEEEEDLES!!!!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ashley: "I'm gonna learn how to shoot heroin today."
Also Ashley: "OH NO! NEEEEEEEEEEEDLES!!!!!"
Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino is actually from Knoxville, so one of his many easter eggs he likes to implement into his films is references to Knoxville. That and his fictional Red Apple brand of cigarettes.
Is Ashleigh aware that Jimmy is Quentin Tarantino?
@@winstonsmith8441 I don't think so
and the Big Kauna Burger
And his foot fetish.
Fun fact the sword that Bruce Willis uses in that scene is a hatori Hanzo sword that is a big thing in the kill Bill series.
A million dollar pawn shop find if there ever was one! Too bad it's just 'Fiction!' •|;p
The real Hattori Hanzo was a samurai, he didn't make any swords
The Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill is a fictional character
Don't forget his brother said he pawned his sword. Later he has it but....
@@reineh3477 The Hatori Hanzo in Kill Bill is played by action movie star, Sonny Chiba, referenced by QT at the beginning of True Romance, when Christian Slater goes to see his birthday movies.
The plot to Mia's TV pilot is the plot to Kill Bill
"...Uma Thurman?" Well, we now know that the "Kill Bill!" duology is on Ashleigh's future viewing list now! • /;p
Funniest line in Kill Bill, this is what you get for hanging around the Yakuza, go back home to your mother!
Ashleigh will like my student
Never saw KIll Bill....worth a watch?
@@Charlesbaker3017 Absolutely! Volume 1 and 2 in order, with snacks and your choice of intoxicants if legal in your area! They are two of Tarantino's best works...Super heavy influences of Japanese Samurai, anime and Yakuza films mixed with classic Chinese martial arts films and Italian "Spaghetti" westerns. Tarantino admits he spent a lot of time as a kid and student in matinees watching these kinds of films. I don't think you will be disappointed, as long as you remember these are fantasies, like a good Marvel blockbuster or Frank Miller graphic novel movie, like Sin City. Hope you enjoy them! (;]D'
@@johnnygnoneeded Thanks dude.
With every Pulp Fiction reaction, "Let's see how they handle the pawn shop..."
No one writes dialogue like Tarantino. He has such a gift.
Elmore Leonard
And has awsome uncut dialog scenes about 5-8 minutes long!
@@Disillusioned_Droog I do like Elmore Leonard’s writing and he most likely paved the way for Tarantino, but as far as films go, Tarantino is my favorite.
It does get a bit self-indulgent at times and doesn't always come off as authentic for the character. But damn it is fun to listen to.
@@norwegianblue2017 yeah, I can see where you’re coming from and I think I agree. It’s just so captivating to listen to.
They once asked Travolta, what was in the briefcase. He said: "It was a battery and a lamp".
Lamps are nice
@@august6389 I love lamp
Your commentary is hilarious and super engaging. Didn’t think I’d get thru the whole 26 minutes haha! Excellent content :) subscribed!
Fun fact: Marvin, the guy who gets shot in the car, is played by Phil LaMarr, a crazy talented voice actor who's done everything from Samurai Jack, to Green Lantern in the Justice League cartoon, to Hermes in Futurama.
Holy joe! I never realized that was him!
Holy sh*t, that IS Phil LaMarr! I’ve watched this movie for years; how did I ever miss that?!
And was on Mad TV. A very talented voice actor and sketch comedy writer / actor.
I mostly remember him from MadTV. I really miss that show! Way better than SNL.
@@mchllwoods Look up "Gump Fiction." It's a funny-as-hell _MadTV_ sketch which mashes up _Pulp Fiction_ and _Forrest Gump._ Bonus: Phil LaMarr basically reprises his role as Marvin, playing it like John Hurt in _Spaceballs._
Pulp Fiction: The movie where you find yourself laughing at the worst possible things. I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I instantly fell in love with it.
My favorite scene is the one where BW is choosing a weapon. I laughed way too hard at that in the theater.
I was just out of the Marine Corps when I watched this in the theater. When Vincent points his pistol towards the backseat, for a brief moment I thought how stupid that was but nothing bad would happen because it was a movie. I was wrong. It made me inappropriately laugh loudly when his head got blown off. Been a Tarantino fan since.
We had one of those $2 second-run theaters in my town, and this movie stayed there for 4 months; my boyfriend worked there, can't tell you how many times I've seen this.
And every single time, entire theater hysterically laughed when it's funny, every time. Best memories!
Pulp Fiction was THE movie of 1994, a year in which we got a whole bunch of exceptional all-time classics, like Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption.
and The Lion King.
Natural Born Killers
You got the timeline correct. And you did it right away, good for you! I saw this when it came out and 3 days later I finally put the pieces of the timeline together. Good for you! This is a great movie.
When I saw Samuel Jackson in Star Wars, my first thought was Yoda screaming at him "Did you see a sign that says Dead Jedi Storage on my lawn?"
Shouldn't that be more like "On my lawn, Dead Jedi Storage, a sign not saying, did you see?"
Fun fact: According to Samuel L Jackson, the purple lightsaber he was given as a gift by Lucas Films after wrapping the Star Wars prequels had the words 'Bad Mother Fucker' put on the hilt.
@@TheGroucho66 I heard it was just "BMF", but that's clearly what it stood for.
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I think casting mr. I-don't-act was a mistake there. Killed the immersion big time.
The waiter who waits on John Travolta and Uma Thurman at Jack Rabbit Slims was played by Steve Buscemi
That animal Blundetto
And that was the real Ricky Nelson playing there.
You mean Buddy Holly is Steve Buscemi
:P
I don't think Buddy Holly's much of a waiter.
@@Thunderer0872 Yes
"What is up with Vincent always being in the bathroom when things go down?"
One possible side effect of opioid use/abuse (including heroin) is constipation.
Vince needed more fiber and less heroin.
Absolutely bloody love this movie. This is in my top 3 favourites of all time. Such a quotable movie with endless iconic scenes!
“Leon The Professional” is one you need to see.
Luc Besson is also an incredible director.
YES! The film is pure classic material! But, please watch the extended cut; it has some great scenes in it.
Great film.
After that, _The Fifth Element_ should not be far behind.
Yassss
@@Brooklyn_Bleek Agree with you 100%...it makes the movie so much better. There's a scene that uptight American censors cut because it challenged their puritan sensibilities. I will not spoil it for others, but you already know. Ashleigh, please watch Leon, The Professional,,,the extended cut. I think you'll like it. "No women, no children."
“Aww man I shot Marvin in the face.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Is that a young Christopher Walken!!?"
Nope, that would be Deer Hunter.
You need to see “Lock, stock and two smoking barrels” and “Snatch”.
Snatch is so good!!!
@@mikecausey7778 Rock n Rolla
GREAT recommendations.
@@mikecausey7778 D'ya like dags?
Jules leaving is why Marsellus had to join Vincent in staking out Butch's place. Marsellus was out getting donuts when he came across Butch at the crosswalk.
Vincent may have wrongly assumed the noise in the kitchen was from Marsellus coming back with food.
Exactly and all of that happened after Vincent took out Mia and when she almost overdosed
@@FluxNomad678 yeah it was the morning after the beginning of the movie and after they killed those guys in the apartment
Also the gun that Butch Uses to kill Vincent is not Vincents Gun, Marcellus Left his while he went to go and get the Donuts and Coffee
As a fellow Knoxvillian, you should know that Mr. Tarantino usually has a reference to our town in all his movies because he lived here.
And you're Mayor can beat the shit out of any other Mayor in the entire United States.
I'm big fan of Glenn Jacobs watched him give an hour-long lecture on differences between Keynesian and Austrian economics on a university guest lecturer level. I'm hoping that guy runs for president down there someday
Is a bad guy from Knoxville a knoxvillain?
@@daerdevvyl4314 I hate myself for laughing 😅
Greetings, neighbor!
hey, hey! i just moved to knoxville a couple years ago. i live out in rutledge now. in django, my favorite scene is set in gatlinburg.

Me: Oh, sweet summer child...
Love your reactions and your fresh perspective on this masterpiece! 😆😆
"I want you to have this...this ass watch. That watch has been up TWO assholes!"
Somebody check my pulse 💀
Vincent is most likely in the bathroom all the time cause heroin makes you hella constipated and when you got the feeling to go you can sit there 20mins and still never go
Your comment just made me think of Trainspotting.
I’m so grateful that I didn’t know that.
Thanks,I never knew that.I thought he just had problems because of his diet. 25 + years and I'm still finding more about this great movie.
@@barbara832001 Heroin makes you constipated. The heroin from my last hit is fading away and the suppositories have yet to melt...I'm no longer constipated. I fantasize about a massive pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel #5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances, I'll settle for anywhere. - Mark Renton.
Yeah, me too.
Remember how you learned to anticipate Mel Brooks cameos in his movies? Quentin Tarantino does the same thing. He was Jimmy, the guy with the great coffee. 19:10
He gave himself the best line in the whole movie, too... "do you see a sign over my garage that says dead n***er storage?"
Jimmy's professional ventures haven't, as of the filming of the movie, led him into the field of stockpiling deceased African Americans. Therefore, there's no written indication posted above his carport to suggest otherwise.
That isn't a cameo. That's a secondary character.
Thanks Ashley! I saw this movie in '94 and as shocking as it is now, it was incredibly shocking then. The F bombs were the most in a movie at that time, and the word had not worked its way into casual conversation then. I'm glad you loved the dialog, as that set the movie apart from other flicks where dialog is simply a plot driving device - "Sewer rat might taste like punkin' pie . . ." and finally, I, just like you, did not recognize the diner. It was a complete surprise to me when Pumpkin shouted "Garcon!" After 30 years, this is still a shocker! Thanks again for sharing!
The man in the opening scene you thought looked familiar was the bad guy in "The Incredible Hulk"
"Bring out the gimp."
Asleigh asks "What are we about to see."
Me: Something you will never forget and an amazing plot device.
It was so dark. But it was so interesting to work in.
Every man in the Theatre looked at each other like, they're not going to do what I think they are going too., are they.... yes they did.
A free, open source alternative to Adobe Photoshop?
Please?
... nope. Not that.
@@awkwardashleigh fun fact: Quentin Tarantino was asked in an interview, who was his favourite character in Pulp Fiction, and he said The Gimp.
@@mltorrefranca I get this reference!
I love the two Ashleighs talking to each other!! 😂😂😂
Ashleigh: "Editing Ashleigh! This will be tough!"😅
Also Ashleigh: *sips wine* "you have no idea." 🙄🍷
I love when Editing Ashleigh makes an appearance!
I would totally watch a sitcom staring Ashleigh
It is the kind of movie where it does not matter how many times you have seen it, if you are channel surfing and you come across it, you stop what you are doing and watch the movie regardless of where in the movie it is.
Abso-fucking-lutely. One of the most watchable films ever.
Pulp Fiction was the rebirth of John Travolta's career as an actor.
It's debatable whether that was a good thing or not.
They said the same thing about 1989's "Look Who's Talking" (which also paired Travolta with Bruce Willis).
Aaaand he pretty much squandered it on making mostly crap afterwards.
I feel like Robert Forester appreciated his second chance more.
Yes. Quentin Tarantino is known for many things. But one is his BRILLIANT soundtrack choices. Over and over you hear a song and it sounds like it should not fit the scene, and yet it turns out to be the PERFECT song for the scene.
As much as I enjoy Tarantino movies, I've always thought his music choices were over-rated. They're already super-popular songs.
@@synthetic240 I think you are doing him a bit of a disservice. Not only is there an art in picking the right music for a scene, get it wrong and the scene is totally different and Quentin is a master at getting the right track for a scene BUT also he often does for music what he does for actors and that’s he takes what at one time was popular but has fallen out of favour and gives it a second life. So much of the music both in songs and non-original score are now known to today’s society simply because he made them iconic in the movies and no matter how much music tastes now change these tracks are now likely to forever resonate because these movies keep them relevant
@@synthetic240 I was listening to the oldies station at work when this came out. Before this movie "Son of a Preacher Man" was NEVER on the playlist. After it, it was. It's not just Travolta, Willis and Grier he pulled out of obscurity.
@@synthetic240 Maybe in America, but not elsewhere.
And every time you hear one of his songs used in his films later, you can't help but think of the film. Let's Stay Together from Pulp Fiction or Strawberry Letter 23 from Jackie Brown
The violence in Pilp Fiction is very impactful and meaningful to the story, there are other movies like a James Bond film where dozens of people are killed without any real meaning. People complain about the violence but I think it’s a much more thoughtful way of dealing with violence in a story
I always thought this was one of Tarantino's more tame movies compared to ones he'd make later, in terms of the violence.
" I am really surprised that I liked this movie." --- Me, after every single Quentin Tarantino movie I have watched, because I truly don't like gore and blood. BUT, there is always so much more to his films. He is a genius.
😂😂😂
Even people who don't like his movies because they have content that makes the Baby Jesus cry, will still admit that Tarantino's films are well-made.
I feel like Jackie Brown was his black album. It's the peak, but it's already showing the signs of losing that Tarantino je ne sais quoi.
@@blechtic It's the worst movie he ever made. Django is better.
The scene of Travolta dancing twist was a massive emotional bomb back then. He first became famous for his dancing skills in Grease and Saturday night fever, but then did a lot of shitty movies until most people just forgot him. Just knowing he was going to be in this movie raised a lot of curiosity, and when he danced it was like... Well, he'll never be that great dancer he was in his youth, but he was back on his feet and ready to get over all that and be cool again, just in a different way.
He was Vinnie Barbarino before he was known for dancing.
@@stephenolan5539 , If only I'd thought to purchase and keep and Barbarino lunch box. You just never know.
I personally think Pulp Fiction made a lot of money it's opening weekend because of Travolta. John Travolta was making horrible movies throughout the 80s . . . suddenly with this movie we finally get to see Travolta in a four star movie again (like the old days) . . . let's go see it. He's back! People were lined up.
@@LuvTadnDixie I agree, I knew Travolta and Bruce Willis were in it, that's what made go tovthe theater. Nobody knew Tarantino or Samuel L. Jackson back then, this is the movie that made both famous, although both (especially SLJ) had already been around a while.
@@angelluisf7730 Sam Jackson was pretty well known. He was a staple of Spike Lee's troupe and he had had stand out smaller roles in multiple big time movies and had starred in smaller movies.
You should also watch Reservoir Dogs. It was Tarantino's first film and immediately showed off his talent.
Followed by dusk till dawn
And perhaps learn what's in the briefcase.
@@seanmole8134 Better watch Repo Man then.
What about True Romance?
I really hope she is all ear to that suggestion.
Girl, you pieced the movie together perfectly at the end. And it was your first time! Bravo!
After seeing this in the theater with a friend, we both stood up, looked at each other, and said to each other these exact words: "that's the craziest movie I've ever seen." Ha.
The dialogue is pure genius.
Oh man the "does he look like a bitch" scene is one of Samuel L. Jackson's best.
And of course, the line "I'm a mushroom cloud layin' muthaf***a muthaf***a" was delivered with such perfection that even the PG-13 MCU couldn't resist having at least one scene with Samuel L. Jackson saying muthaf***a.
It ended up becoming prophetic considering what happens to him later
"Say, 'What?' one more time!" -Jules Verne
Flipper worked overtime censoring this one!
Also, Quentin Tarantino was born in Knoxville which is why it’s referenced in a few of his movies.
The bit where you realized it was jumping time at the end was so funny. I like that you find the humor in the time it took you to process!
"What's in the briefcase?" Entire PhD theses have been written about that exact question. Not kidding. Google it. Ultimately, it's juts what filmmakers call a "MacGuffin." That means s an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself.
"Why is he wearing a band aid on his neck?" Everyone asks! No one knows!
"Why are they dressed like that?" Just wait!
Well I have learned a new word: MacGuffin.
I'm in "his soul" camp.
@@awkwardashleigh Alfred Hitchcock coined that meaning of "MacGuffin." I guess we'll have to figure out which of his films shows it off best and would be a better match for you than Psycho was.
@@awkwardashleigh The most famous "McGuffin" ever, is the Maltese Falcon, from the movie of the same name.
I like to imagine it's a case of movie magic.
Quinton Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 1 and Volume 2 should be your next foray into Tarantinoverse.
Love her "eureka" moment,it's like seeing someone rediscover the wheel.
Thank you 😂
You were one of today's lucky 10,000
4:36 "I don't like feet!"
Tarantino showcases his foot fetish in his films. 🤣
"BUTT STUFF HAPPENS." LOL, you predicted something right. Good one.
Yeah, that was funny. She predicts things in these movies pretty regularly.
Honestly, watching you figure out the timelines and process how it all worked together was one of the most satisfying things I've seen on UA-cam. Loved it.
The guy in the restaurant who looks familiar is played by Tim Roth, who was Emil Blonsky (the Abomination) in The Incredible Hulk.
How did I not see this reaction already? This is one of your best! I can't believe you pieced together the timeline in your head so correctly, so quickly after seeing the movie! All I can say is I'm dying for you to see his next movie after "Pulp Fiction": "Jackie Brown", it's my favorite of his movies. Also...."Death Proof" is another one.
Watching you process the timelines at the end as pieces fell into place was possibly the most entertaining thing I have ever seen on your channel!
As someone who works in radio, you definitely should appreciate this soundtrack. One of the greatest ever.
I remember having the soundtrack on a D90 tape and played it over and over in my first car. I think I wore the tape out til it was warped. This soundtrack got me into all sorts of old soul and Motown artist back when I was 17. Best movie soundtrack ever.
A lot of Tarantino’s movies have great soundtracks!
Just a cool little detail: You can see Vincent go to the bathroom in the beginning scene between hunny bunny and pumpkin. As well as overhear Jules and Vincent’s conversation about pigs in the background noise too.
And i believe him going to the bathroom all the time is in reference of his abuse of heroine which may cause constipation.
@@daveydeboer2542 well shit guess that's another among the myriad of reasons not to do heroin
Another thing: Marsellus was with Vincent in Butch's apartment but he went to grab some food. Vincent got constipated again, left his gun on the counter so he didn't run out of the toilet when Butch came in. He thought it was Marsellus back with food.
What do you think was in the briefcase?
@@metetural9140 except he did not go into the bathroom at Mia and Marsellus’s house to poop. He said “I’m gonna take a piss.” He had to pee, not poo.
I've seen the movie so many times, I don't need the music, it just plays in my head when I see the pictures.
A few tidbits: 1) Tarantino has cameos in all of his movies like Hitchcock did. He was the guy with the "Gourmet Coffee" 2) What was in the box? Originally it was Diamonds, but they thought that was boring and wanted the viewer to decide based on their imagination. 3) The bandaid on the back of Marsellus's neck was only there to hide a real scar. 4) Tarantino became so infamous for his Soundtracks that the movie awards created a whole new category just so they could give him an award for it. 5) John Travolta's career had been dead for many years and Pulp Fiction revitalized it at the time.6) Tarantino re-uses his cast in most of his movies. You'll see repeat faces in nearly all of his films.
I worked at a movie theater in 1994. We were showing this and Shawshank Redemption around the same time. A great year for movies.
Another great one from that year was Ed Wood.
Forrest Gump beat Pulp Fiction in the one category if I remember correctly, which today seems insane.
@@RobwLPOC Forrest Gump won Best Picture over Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption. I still remember all these years later as it coincided with Oscars becoming irrelevant to me.
@@benmunn81 Forrest Gump was great but Pulp fiction and Shawshank are masterpieces. tell someone today that Forrest Gump is better than those two and they would laugh at you.
@@RobwLPOC just the oscars proud of how woke they are i guess. Mentally disabled hero vs prison film vs gangster film. Guess the oscars didnt like who the "heroes" were in the masterpieces
Fun facts: In the opening sequence with Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, Jules can be heard talking about quitting "the life," and Vincent can be seen entering the bathroom.
In the diner, when Mia orders her five dollar shake, Buddy Holly (Steve Buscemi) asks her if she wants it "Martin and Lewis or Amos and Andy?" He is referring to two comedy duos, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, two white men, or The Amos 'n Andy Show (1951), two black men. Basically, he is asking her if she wants a vanilla shake or a chocolate shake. She has vanilla.
The word "fuck" is used two hundred sixty-five times. 👌
Ashley out of all the reaction people I watch you are probably my favorite American girl to watch. I love your reaction videos. Keep up the good work.
"Why does he have a bandage on the back of his head?"
Well, Ash, there have been a lot of debates and speculations surrounding that same question. But in reality the actor who played Marcellus Wallace cut himself while shaving.
Damn. Beat me to it.
That actor now does Arbys commercials... latest one hes singin about crinkle fries 🤣
@@wadedwigans442 The guy doing the Arby's voiceovers is James Earl Jones, who's most famous voiceover was "Darth Vader".
Actually, it's not a shaving "cut", but rather a fairly large keloid (scar). You can see it running length wise under the bandaid, as well as openly in some of Ving's other movies.
@@creech54 The guy doing the Arby's voiceovers is Kevin Hart, who's most famous for being tiny.
"We don't find out what's in the suitcase" One of the great mysteries of life.
The prevailing theory is that the briefcase is Marcellus Wallace's soul and that he sold it to the Devil in exchange for his prominence and success as a gangster. The evidence? The scar on the back of his head, which is clearly visible throughout most of the film, is where his soul was taken from.

@@odditt9159 lol something which revealed changes all Tarantino's movies?! What could it be? Or they were trolling us!
@@pedroandremendes8444 😂 👹
@@pedroandremendes8444 👍
The actress that plays “Honey Bunny” in the restaurant scene was also in ‘So I Married An Axe Murderer’ with Mike Myers, and yes her voice is pretty much instantly recognizable. lol
And her father played Captain Von Trapp in "The Sound of Music".
I always remember her from Needful Things.

And Robin Williams' love interest (post event) in The Fisher King.
this is by far the best pulp fiction movie reaction i have ever watched. Glad you liked the movie
"OMG could you have made the situation any worse..." Quentin, writing script introducing Zed and Maynard "hold my five dollar shake"
I was going to post and then thought "Nope. Better check the comments for this first."
Technically That Was Roger Avery who wrote this section. Or at least came up with the original story for it.
@@Malum09 Yeah, he always gets gypped out of his credit for this story.
@@porflepopnecker4376 after seeing his other movies, it very much feels like a story from him than from Tarantino.
Yeah, Quentin's movies are very wordy, but, in the best possible way. Also, listening to Ashleigh try to untangle the web that is Pulp Fiction, was hilarious.
I love Tarantino’s dialogue because it sounds more like the crazy stuff that real people say
The way he writes and makes films is amazing. He knows when to make the scene lighter with a laugh even when you’re in deep shit.. it’s gonna be fun watching these reactions if she does a Mel Brooks like deep dive.
Truly an art form!
Always use some more Uma.
So jealous of Ashleigh right now. Imagine loving pulp fiction like we all did, and being able to see the rest of his cannon whenever you want. Please see True Romance next.
True Romance is my favorite of all of his scripts. He sold it to finance Reservoir Dogs which set everything else in motion. I can’t even imagine how different the final product would have been on a small budget with QT directing.
OMG...ur channel in my feed for the 1st time...loving the reactions! Also the question and then your answer 2 seconds later...you're so funny...new subscriber!!
