Pulp Fiction

[the mars volta0]

I love that movie.. it was amazingly hilarious. Tarantino is awesome. All of his films are good, and the fact that he uses Uma in like half of them.. that makes it even better. She's pretty hot. I probably wouldn't do her though.

[LoyalSubject]

I finally saw the movie the other day (I know, it took me forever) any Quetin Tarantino Film is awesome but there are a lot of unanswered questions in that fiim. Where does Bruce Willis fit in? The main plot is focused on John Travolta and Samuel Jackson but when Travolta Gets shot by Willis is that supposed to be after Jackson got out of the game? And what the hell is in the briefcase? I watched it twice and I still can't figure this shit out. Anyone know? It's still a good movie and recommend it to everyone.

[mxpx365]

i own the movie...i like not knowing whats in the brief-case, cuz it gives more mystery...my guess would be gold though..

Why Gold?

[mxpx365]

when vincent opens it for the first time in the apartment...it looks like gold shining to me...but it could really be anything

[Justin_stacy]

I? The main plot is focused on John Travolta and Samuel Jackson but when Travolta Gets shot by Willis is that supposed to be after Jackson got out of the game? And what the hell is in the briefcase? .


After, which might explain why Vincent and Wallace (who was out buying donuts at the time of the shooting) were watching Willis's appartment.....and not Vincent & Jules...????

[Chemical Love]

i think its heroin in the brief case.

[alpha21]

Wallace's soul is in the case
The combination is 666
Wallace has a band aid on the back of his neck (supposidly, this is where the soul is extracted)

everything involving Willis, is after (chronilogically) the majority of the rest of the story.

[Throwback]

It goes, in my humble opinion:

Scene where Jules and Vincent kill Brett
Vincent accidentally kills Marvin so they get cleaned up at Jimmy's house
Vincent and Jules go to breakfast where they stop Hunny Bunny and the other guy from their robbery and Jules quits
Vincent and Jules go to see Marsellus right after Butch gets done with the meeting
Vincent then takes Mia out
Butch throws the fight and flees, goes back to his apartment, kills Vincent, then he gets taken to Zed's place

[Justin_stacy]

Wallace has a band aid on the back of his neck (supposidly, this is where the soul is extracted)
.

Actually that was put there to cover up a scar that Ving got as a kid, which Tarantino didn't want arousing any "attention" from the audience....

and staring at a bandaid doesn't

[Justin_stacy]

and staring at a bandaid doesn't


?....that's what I thought, but that was exactly QT's explanation on the commentary track...

[SingleDoubt]

Wallace's soul is in the case
The combination is 666
Wallace has a band aid on the back of his neck (supposidly, this is where the soul is extracted)

everything involving Willis, is after (chronilogically) the majority of the rest of the story.ive also heard this theory

This is what it is.

[Basketcase]

this is one of my fav movies of all time. and yes, it is indeed Marcelus' soul in the briefcase. i really enjoy the comedy in the movie. i really like the way Tarantino writes the dialogues for his movies.

[puNk_tHeoRy]

i love it more every time i watch it.

[A picasso blue]

I just watched this for like the 10th time and still dont have any idea..


what was in that briefcase? :unsure:

[gilatron5000]

I always thought it was supposed to represent greed, kinda like the Ring from LOTR.

Maybe the One Ring?

that being said, this movie ruined my innocent sensibilities when I was but a wee youngin'

[kirbs84]

twinkies....that's why it glows golden when vincent opens it...duh

[hobbes2809]

http://home.wxs.nl/~Mr.P/vincentvega/

[TheByrus]

the script didnt say.

i think its a soul for marsellus wallace, because of the bandaid on the back of his head in the strip bar.

[kirbs84]

http://home.wxs.nl/~Mr.P/vincentvega/

damn, I've never seen that before. pretty cool

[gilatron5000]

http://home.wxs.nl/~Mr.P/vincentvega/ (http://home.wxs.nl/%7EMr.P/vincentvega/)well damn. That's pretty awesome.

[lanolynn]

http://home.wxs.nl/~Mr.P/vincentvega/the second theory is always what i kinda thought was what the briefcase meant.

[XlenceOfXecution]

I just watched this for like the 10th time and still dont have any idea..


what was in that briefcase? :unsure:

im pretty sure it was cocaine...or at least that was the impression i got...i guess when certain people see cocaine, its like gold to them hence the gold lghting that came out of the breifcase...i dont know...

[seconds]

I've read all the theories, and I don't know.
But it's a kickass movie.

[marrost]

A yellow lightbulb.

[A picasso blue]

the script didnt say.

i think its a soul for marsellus wallace, because of the bandaid on the back of his head in the strip bar.
i've heard that. it seems to make the most sense

[A picasso blue]

twinkies....that's why it glows golden when vincent opens it...duh
so worth killing those guys for.

[A picasso blue]

A yellow lightbulb.
the soul theory makes sense, except the part about it "being in the bible" is complete crap. it could still be plausible though

[recycledAIR]

best part is when they shoot that guy in the face.

[FOBcareemo]

honestly i always thought yo uwere never supposed to know and that it was just supposed to be an enigma

[waggy]

i once read a story about a guy who knew a guy who made a bet with quentin that he could beat him at a miniature golf course that qt was basically a god on. to the amazement of all, the guy won, and as the bet stipulated quentin had to reveal what was in the briefcase. his answer: a mint condition copy of amazing spider-man #1. the overwhelmingly likely possibility is that this story is complete bullshit, but i personally like the story and i like the answer, so i choose to believe it. it makes perfect sense in the movie and is consistent with quentin's personality.

[8:17am]

best part is when they shoot that guy in the face.

"Ahhh, man."
"What the fuck was that?!"
"I shot Marvin in the face, man."

[DroppedUrPocket]

:( Scary John Malkovich in yellow paint.

[TheByrus]

my favorite parts are when wallace says:

I'm prepared to scour the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indo-China, I want a ***** hidin' in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass.

or

when hes crossing the street and sees butch and he says

MOTHA FUCKER!!

[Nick Lopez]

Just watched this for the first time and LOVED it.

[reductiondesign]

Just watched this for the first time and LOVED it.

...for the first time? Where have you BEEN?

[Mitch]

...for the first time? Where have you BEEN?

srsly.

[jeremyfromva]

I just rediscovered this movie. Its been six or seven years since I last watched the movie.


Classic.....best quotes ever by Samuel L

[skibagirl]

i love this movie, but it's so long that it took me several tries to watch it because i would get distracted and then not pay attention and then i'd be totally lost.

[ThirdTimeAround]

Le Big Mac!

[PowderedMilkMan]

is there a sign on my front lawn that says "dead ****** storage"?

my favorite line from the movie. that and "I just shot Marvin in the face"

[jeremyfromva]

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

[vandalsandquinn]

bleh i hated this movie

[Mitch]

One of my favorite films.

[FOBcareemo]

bleh i hated this movie
Go away.



Propably one of my favorite movies of all time. It's fun to sit in Taco Bell and quote this thing in to the ground

[xearlynovemberx]

hhaha, the best part is the whole foot massage conversation

[FOBcareemo]

hhaha, the best part is the whole foot massage conversation

Man, givin' a bitch a foot massage and stickin' yo tounge in a woman's holiest of holies ain't the same god damn ballpark, ain't the same fuckin' sport

[Mercy Medical]

It's on right now and I'm probably the only person that has never seen this movie before. :O

[BarrelIsPointed]

Damn, I wish I had cable still. I'd love to watch this movie right now.

[Talib Scottie]

Haha I love the edits on Bravo.

[wiReZ]

It's on right now and I'm probably the only person that has never seen this movie before. :O

haha, it was on last night too. i came home around 1am drunk as hell and i decided to watch it. it's so weird seeing it edited but in all honestly they did a really good job. it wasn't 1/10 as bad as seeing the movie Friday on the USA channel.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

I've never seen Pulp Fiction either, I should watch it.
it wasn't 1/10 as bad as seeing the movie Friday on the USA channel.
Haha, the part where they're smoking on the porch is so terribly put together.

[BarrelIsPointed]

This thread reminded me that I was supposed to go look for Reservior Dogs last night. I got the beginning scene stuck in my head when I was at Texas Roadhouse contemplating my tip amount.

[DeadCityScars]

I'd never watch Pulp Fiction on Bravo (or TV in general).

I'd only watch it for the edits, which are funny.

[Mitch]

I'd never watch Pulp Fiction on Bravo (or TV in general).

Same.

I just can't see how this movie can be edited haha.

[hockey0001]

i have also never seen this movie

[unwritten]

Damn kids. Watch this now.

[FondestMemory]

please, turn the channel.

this is a movie that watching it for the first time on bravo will ruin it for you. go rent it or something, you're missing so much.

they don't even mention the gimp on bravo.

[DroppedUrPocket]

please, turn the channel.

That's what I came to say.

Also, BSF breaking up is a shame. :(

[FondestMemory]

That's what I came to say.

Also, BSF breaking up is a shame. :(

fuck yeah it is. that ruined my week.

[UndertheTELE]

Love Pulp Fiction. Definatly needs to be watched unedited though.

[shane hennessey]

Pulp on tv cant be any good. fantastic movie though

[LostSymphonies]

i let a friend borrow my pulp ficition dvd, and then he moved away and i never got it back...:(

that bastard

[Juliana101]

I saw this movie for the first time yesterday. It is easily one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.

[colorlesscliche]

Very good movie.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

one of my top 3 movies of all time...

i'd say Jackson and Travolta might make the best Duo i have seen in a movie.. as far as the way they act together..fit in together in that one... perfect

[lalalalovely]

Exellent movie, Quintin Terrintino (sp?) is a genius

[aminorthreat55]

Great movie.

[Silver Bullets]

Tarantino's best.

[S84newt2000]

I love the scene when the gun goes off in the car. Travolta's face when it happens is awesome, haha

[YouMadeTheScene]

One of those movies that everyone should see.

There is one with Brak called Tarantino Theater, I think. Unless that's the second one.

[Smash Adams]

There is one with Brak called Tarantino Theater, I think. Unless that's the second one.
yeah the 2nd one's tarantino theater.

by the way this is the actual bible line that jules quotes http://bible.cc/ezekiel/25-17.htm, it's a little different than what he says.

[fenderkid212]

this is one of those movies that i have been meaning to see for so long but just never had. along with fight club.

They are like the cliche movie for someone to say "DUDE, you have never seen that before?"

[Juliana101]

I think the best scene is when Samuel L, Travolta, and the British dude and chick are in the diner.

That whole scene had me laughing.

[TheByrus]

.................mother fucker!

[NickBender]

i loved it even more after someone explained all the underlying plot throughout the movie.

[secretsociety92]

Awesome movie, i really like it.

[DroppedUrPocket]

AIDS is in the briefcase.

[NickBender]

AIDS is in the briefcase.

i heard it was marsellus wallace's soul. which also explains the bad-aid on the back of his neck. because your soul is supposedly take from the back of your eck at the base of your head.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Yeah, I've read a bunch of stuff, including tie-ins to other Tarantino movies.

[SteveLikesMusic]

In my top 5 of all time. It's just so...watchable. The characters are so enjoyable.

[NickBender]

Yeah, I've read a bunch of stuff, including tie-ins to other Tarantino movies.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Yeah, there is a lot of stuff, it's pretty interesting. There are some on wikipedia, but I know I've read more than that before.

[SteveLikesMusic]

I'd also like to say that that video posted with Meatwad and Brak was fucking brilliant

"I hope you're rockin out, but if your not rockin out i hope you're at least DRUNK, LIKE BOXCAR BERT!! NOW COME BACK AFTER THE BREAK YOU LITTLE RATS OR I'LL KICK ALL YOUR ASSES! HHHHHHAHAHA!"

[thefearofchange]

Reservoir Dogs is better

[love_american_style]

Say what one more time Motherfucker!!!!

does he look like a bitch?!?!?!?



...what?

[chronomic]

Reservoir Dogs is better

very awesome movie but pulp fiction is way better

[yourneck]

i was definitely on the edge of my seat for a lot of the movie. i was really impressed with it

[soundofthebrown]

amazing movie.

[vandalsandquinn]

love this movie

[a speedo model]

Such a fantastic movie.

[Adrian Villagomez]

In my top 5 of all time. It's just so...watchable. The characters are so enjoyable.It's the dialogue. Right from the start it's off and running with tidbits about overseas McDonalds and such. Great, great film.

I love Tarantino(sp) and this film..a ton.
Samuel L. Jackson is the man throughout this whole film.

[Bob Payne]

[Adrian Villagomez]

I'm all about these bumps.

[Buried A Lie]

It's the dialogue. Right from the start it's off and running with tidbits about overseas McDonalds and such. Great, great film.

Definitely, 100% about the dialogue. Tarantino's best work is the stuff with excellent dialouge. Pulp Fiction ranks # 1 here, the conversation in this movie is hysterical and great.

[Buried A Lie]

am i the only one who hates the Soul in the Suitcase theory?

That theory is okay, I like the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs theory better though.

[Adrian Villagomez]

am i the only one who hates the Soul in the Suitcase theory?I'd rather the movie be fantastical than supernatural.

Definitely, 100% about the dialogue. Tarantino's best work is the stuff with excellent dialouge. Pulp Fiction ranks # 1 here, the conversation in this movie is hysterical and great.Yup, it's just plain interested to hear these hitmen talk.

That theory is okay, I like the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs theory better though.I don't buy into either theory, but this one is alluring.

[notoaststereo]

That theory is okay, I like the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs theory better though.

thats the one i like, but o like not knowing even more.

the band-aid on the head was there because of a scar, that's that.

[notoaststereo]

I'd rather the movie be fantastical than supernatural.



i'd rather the movie be realistic than fantastical.

[Adrian Villagomez]

i'd rather the movie be realistic than fantastical.Then there wouldn't be a gimp locked in a cage. And Pulp Fiction wouldn't be the same without that creepiness.

[Fury15]

am i the only one who hates the Soul in the Suitcase theory?
i think the theory is incredible, very creative and elaborate. but do i support it? no

[Buried A Lie]

I don't buy into either theory, but this one is alluring.

Me either, I just like that one better.

People have some pretty elaborate theories though, interesting to read.

[notoaststereo]

Then there wouldn't be a gimp locked in a cage. And Pulp Fiction wouldn't be the same without that creepiness.

gimp is way more realistic than a soul in a suitcase.

[Adrian Villagomez]

Me either, I just like that one better.

People have some pretty elaborate theories though, interesting to read.gimp is way more realistic than a soul in a suitcase.I think we're in agreement: there's no soul in the suitcase.

[notoaststereo]

I think we're in agreement: there's no soul in the suitcase.haha, yessir.

[chokeychicken]

best movie of the 90s

[Smash Adams]

I think we're in agreement: there's no soul in the suitcase.

it's actually Gwyneth Paltrow's head in the suitcase

[airik625]

One of my favorite movies of all time.

good part though

[airik625]

The soundtrack to his movie is amazing. One of my favorite soundtracks. Tarantino always has great soundtrack to correspond with his movies.

[JimmyRiddle]

haha...."stone age" doesnt have the same ring as "medieval". But that woulda been pretty funny if he said it instead

Do you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?

[airik625]

Yes, we all know that is the most famous quote in the entire movie.

What's your name, dear?

Mia Wallace.

And your partner?

VISHINT VEGUH.

[Ailite]

Yolanda I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you well it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when motherfuckers get scared that's when motherfuckers accidentally get shot.

[Broken Parachute]

Great movie.

[captainamazing4]

Yes, we all know that is the most famous quote in the entire movie.
sorry, i had to...

[Jessooker]

After one of my friend's shows, we all went to the bar area and this came on the tv. Everyone just sat there and watched it.

[stayillogical]

After one of my friend's shows, we all went to the bar area and this came on the tv. Everyone just sat there and watched it.

That reminds me. I went to a show at a club with bars on opposite sides. On one side, they were playing Kill Bill Vol 1 and on the other, Fight Club. I was so conflicted.

[Rawrr]

That would be tough..those are two of my faves

[Anderson]

That's what I came to say.

Also, BSF breaking up is a shame. :(I didn't realise how old the thread was until I read that. I still miss them.

It's the dialogue. Right from the start it's off and running with tidbits about overseas McDonalds and such. Great, great film.

Definitely, 100% about the dialogue. Tarantino's best work is the stuff with excellent dialouge. Pulp Fiction ranks # 1 here, the conversation in this movie is hysterical and great.
The dialogue in this and in Reservour Dogs are certainly far better than those that followed it. It sounds like guys hanging out and just chatting. When he introduces pop culture references it sounds natural, a bunch of little fonzies or like a virgin. Unlike the dialogue from his later films David Carradine's monologue at the end of Kill Bill 2 sounds fake and forced. Like a poor imitation of a Tarantino scene.

[phil19]

This is a great movie. you cant really go past the cast! though reservoir dogs remains my favourite tarantino film

[Dr. Acula]

BUMP. Decided to throw this on (haven't watched it in a long time) and it's still one hell of a movie. Such great dialogue.

[Craig Manning]

Probably my favorite movie ever. Never gets old.

"When you pulled in here, did you see a sign anywhere that said 'dead ni**er storage'?"

[Dr. Acula]

Everything is gold...one of the greatest pieces of film ever.
