They need to make a real Jack Rabbit Slims

[@Live-by2vk]

I knew it was a set, but only because I had looked up where it was to try and work out if I could maybe visit one day. After finding out it was a set I thought exactly this comment! They need to make a real one! How cool would it be with the car booths and stuff?

[@pinkberryconsumer4059]

@@Live-by2vk really it took you looking it up to find out it was fake. O boy.

[@pinkberryconsumer4059]

I had bought a director's cut of pulp fiction and it had a full menu of the restaurant inside the DVD jacket it was pretty sweet.

[@stevemoore3951]

I used to say if I ever hit it big I’d build a Jack Rabbit Slim’s. Still would. 😂

[@Dorisasaurus1133]

I literally say that same thing every time I watch the movie

[@rixx46]

another reason Tarantino played Jimmy was that Steve Buscemi was originally going to play the role, but he was unavailable. Instead, Buscemi had a cameo at Jack Rabbit Slim's.

[@irokosalei5133]

And yet I was certain that I remembered Steve Buscemi playing Jimmy lol I guess it really fits him

[@hugolafhugolaf]

So he WAS available, in a way...

Personally, I think Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest films of the 20th century.

[@rolandfuller7930]

I don't need an excuse to watch Pulp Fiction, I can never get tired of it. Every time I watch it, it seems like I discover something new that I hadn't noticed before. I like how Tarantino put things in the movie that were clearly only meant to be discovered upon reviewing. Clever tactic, if I may say so myself.

Rosencranz & Guildenstern are Dead is the reason Tarantino was considering Oldman & Roth for Pulp Fiction.

The best Pulp Fiction trivia is that The Gimp was a writer for Tiny Toon Adventures and The Animaniacs.

[@jamiegerrard2129]

All time favorite film!

[@ticnatz]

I revisit this film on a regular basis. Just like River's Edge, Big Lebowski, & Life of Brian. These are, for me, life reaffirming flicks.

[@ricky0288]

I just watched River's Edge specifically because of this comment. What in gawd's name did I get myself into?!

[@VassilisDimitros]

1994: Pulp Fiction, Speed, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption... 2019: Bad Remakes, Bad Reboots...

[@NeverNude]

Sure, cherry pick the movies from each period. Seems there's more originals back then, but still plenty this year as well

[@NeverNude]

@Alex Jones I wasn't making that assertion, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Midsommar, Ad Astra, The Lighthouse...not saying they're necessarily better than PF, just that there are some great originals, which was my original point.

[@NeverNude]

@Alex Jones I think you misunderstood. Pulp fiction is one of my favs, I own pretty much his entire library. But the original comment I replied to was saying 2019 was just a bunch of reboots, I was just saying it was based on cherry picked movies. By the way, Once Upon a Time is also Tarantino, why I included it.

[@NeverNude]

@Alex Jones no worries, I figured as much, and always good to meet a fan!

[@NeverNude]

@Alex Jones also no need to apologize but thank you nonetheless. These comment chains can get pretty toxic and I got none of that from you.

[@JediBeavis1971]

While I loved the quick flash of Dutch Van Der Linde when talking about the Walken scene, Bruce Willis' character was called Butch, not Dutch.

[@ElectricalSwift]

The first time he does actually say young Butch. It was simply an error in the take and clearly they decided to go with it.

[@GoodLaw]

Yes. I havent seen this movie in forever I think I rented this movie as a kid when it first came out. So most of it went over my head.

[@MrJackfaire]

Shaft isn't a remake. It's a sequel. Jackson's John Shaft is actually the nephew of the original Shaft whom appears in the first and second Shaft films starring Jackson.

"Jules originally had a giant afro" i bet the same could be said for Jules Gil.

[@maverickrhodes2432]

Little Trivia; Dusk Till Dawn, was originally a bank robbery story, but half way through the script, Tarantino and Rodriguez couldnt figure out how to finish the film, got stoned and changed the script into the final film we see today.. God Bless the power of Weed

Did you seriously just say, "Thankfully now we have computers" about something that happened in 1994? Seriously? We had computers we had word processors we even had spell & grammar checks. The fact he didn't use one was a personal choice.

The British are coming the British are coming, and their bringing the script to pulp fiction with them.

[@pk33617]

we even had...internet!

[@TheNormal256]

Yes computers and internet existed in 1994 (unlike the narrator I was alive back then), but to be fair they weren’t nearly as prevalent as they are today. The vast majority of people in 1994 lived their lives without the internet and with limited if any interaction with a computer. Especially a personal one. Kind of how like electric cars exist today, and they will probably be ubiquitous in 30 years but as for right now only a small handful of people own them.
