[@CasualNerdReactions]

This was quite the experience. I didn't know whether to laugh or gasp half the time, but man it was a great time. Let me know YOUR thoughts on Pulp Fiction.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

When in doubt, laugh. Those who get it will think you do too, and those that gasp will think you're edgy.👍

[@jimtatro6550]

Seeing this movie theatrically was one of my favorite all time experiences, it played like a rock concert on a roller coaster.😂

[@DMSG1981]

Tarantino is famous for 1) Violence 2) Dialogue 3) Non-linear story telling 4) Incorporating his foot fetish in his movies 5) Outstanding song selection for the soundtracks

[@Tommysimonsen]

When you run out of Tarantino movies, he written a few others directed.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

🤣@@dr.burtgummerfan439

[@jdrussell3828]

Jules retiring means that it was Vincent and Marsellus that were staking out Butch's house. When Butch runs over Marsellus you see he is carrying coffee and donuts. He was on his way back to Butch's house where he and Vincent were looking for Butch. The reason Vincent didn't realize Butch was in the house while he was sitting on the toilet is because he assumed it was Marsellus coming back with coffee and donuts. Vincent is on the toilet all the time because heroin causes constipation.

[@ACME619]

I like that theory.

[@vio-lence7267]

+The gun on the counter that Butch picks up and kills Vincent with probably isn't Vincent's but instead Marsellus's.

[@jasons_supra]

I’ve seen pulp fiction 300 times and I’ve never realized this

[@KaMui_AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs]

The way Travolta just delivered the line: "Aw man, I shot Marvin in the face!" will ALWAYS get me. :'D Definitely my cup of morbid humour.

[@creech54]

Which, I guess, is somehow worse than "Aw man, I just killed Marvin". 😉

[@donpietruk1517]

​@@creech54It's just funnier.

[@gggooding]

"And then he can Vincent van goooo" ...😅😂🤣🤣🤣 Casual Nerd: if Tarantino heard your joke, there's a 110% chance he would kick himself for not thinking of it and including it in this script of scripts. 👏👏👏👏👏 "And that's the rest of the story" was pretty brilliant too, brother. RIP Paul Harvey.

[@footofjuniper8212]

I was 24 when Pulp Fiction came out. I saw it 12 times in the theater (still the record). Every time a friend or relative said they hadn't seen it, I said "Drop everything and let's go." I bought the soundtrack, the screenplay and four Tarantino biographies. Before it was released on VHS, I recorded the audio from the scrambled pay-per-view channel so I could listen to it in the background. I did a dramatic reading of the script on a road trip with my college academic team. I wore my Pulp Fiction ball cap until it was in tatters. At an antique mall, I found a ceramic kangaroo like the one that held Butch's watch, and I happily paid $60 for it. When the VHS finally came out, I watched it repeatedly. Quentin, during a deleted scene segment, recommended using a Hi-8 camcorder, so I went out and bought two. I wrote a screenplay and attempted (unsuccessfully) to film my own movie with friends and acquaintances. So yeah, it had a bit of an impact on me.

[@roddo1955]

Yeah but you had a lot of fun with it and that's what matters!🙂

[@Arrynek01]

Just a little bit :D

[@rishikeshwagh]

Damn. Like like the movie was a divine intervention for you

[@moonlitegram]

The cool factor to this movie is off the charts. Even today, nearly 30 years after its release, with tons of movies being influenced by Tarantino's style of dialogue etc, it still comes off as fresh and cool to me. Back in 94 it was mind blowing to me. Glad you enjoyed it. Also impressed with how quickly you were able to piece together the films events in chronological order immediately after viewing it. A number of people I've shown this movie to often initially have various levels of confusions as to when each event occurs.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

I think it helps that I love Nolan films so I've at least seen some films that were out of sequence before. It was a bit jarring though to suddenly be back at the beginning.

[@walker1812]

⁠@@CasualNerdReactionsyeah, basically those and dozens of other movies and tv shows that were influenced by this movie and incorporating their favorite bits into their work. Non-linear storytelling is now a thing, it wasn’t always so. Not until this movie.

[@angelagraves865]

One of my favorite parts of this movie is how Christopher Walken's tone changes during his monologue. He starts the watch story speaking reverentially about the past wars but is understandably hostile when talking about the one he took part in. It's a perfect transition and it really makes the whole speech for me.

[@darkglass1]

21:31 “What are the odds?” Really good actually. Marcellus and Vincent were staking out Butch’s apartment together. Marcellus went to go get coffee and donuts. If you look carefully, he’s carrying two cups. This explains why Vincent didn’t do anything when he heard Butch come in. He thought it was Marcellus. That’s also why he felt comfortable leaving his gun on the counter.

[@AnthonyMaccaline]

This scene was in homage to psyco... there's a similar shot in that movie

[@Kebmo338]

Good theory, but the door was locked.

[@lukelichtenthal5407]

Pretty sure that gun belonged to Marcellus.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Tarantino is the master of mundane conversation in his movies - it really gets you engaged with the characters and the story. 👍😎

[@kylewestlake982]

Once nice little detail about the OD scene is that heroin is typically shipped in balloons and cocaine in baggies, and Lance was out of balloons, so he used a baggie. That's why Mia thought what she was sorting was cocaine.

[@BigBrosFilms]

Duuuude that's crazy I never knew that

[@BenChanNYC]

My One Big Thought about this movie comes down to Jules's speech at the end, and being a "shepherd." This movie is about a bunch of criminal low-lives, but somewhere in their irredeemable lives, each story involves one low-life helping another low-life out of a bad situation in a moment of shared humanity. Also, that Nick Fury vs. Abomination comment wasn't a "casual" nerd reaction - that was *hardcore* nerd and I'm all about it! 🖖🤓 (now I need a Fury/Blonski scene, dammit!)

[@djgizmoe]

I don't think I've ever heard more memorable dialog in a film. And for those who don't see "the point" the theme of redemption (for those willing to accept it) is pretty clear.

[@chrisofnottingham]

"What are the odds?" Quite high. Marcellus and Vincent staking out Butch's apartment. Marcellus pops out to get coffee. Butch turns up, shoots Vincent, then Marcellus returns as Butch drives away.

[@vuechidna]

I love that Buddy Holly (9:08) was played by Steve Buscemi.

[@russellward4624]

"I don't know what we're about to experience here" Me: dying laughing, "buckle up my friend"

[@reservoirdude92]

Just like Reservoir Dogs (his debut, that you DEFINITELY need to watch) revolutionized independent American cinema, Pulp Fiction was a shotgun blast to the face of Hollywood, and thus Tarantino became a titan of modern filmmaking. I swear if it weren't for Forrest Gump, THIS would have won the Best Picture Oscar.

[@richardzinns5676]

Of course it would, and it should have anyway. Don't you agree?

[@reservoirdude92]

​@@richardzinns5676100%!

[@donpietruk1517]

​@@richardzinns5676it's a better film than Gump. My theory is that this and Shawshank split a lot of votes and Gump snuck through.

[@rufus1346]

Did you know that Mr Blonde is Vincent's brother? Vic & Vince, the Vega brothers.

[@randywhite3947]

Actually Oscar voters said if they had to do it again Shawshank would have won

[@LordVolkov]

"It was a clear accident" Vincent's finger was on the trigger... there are no accidents with firearms, only negligence.

[@richardzinns5676]

This is the most wonderful example I've seen of how segments of a story, told out of chronological order, can have a totally different effect from what they would have had if seen in the order in which they occurred. This kind of thing first hit me very hard in college, when I read Paradise Lost, and Pulp Fiction is probably the only thing I've seen that produces the same kind of result even more strongly.

[@jeremiahalonzo]

Please, please do not skip Jackie Brown. Arguably QT's most beautiful movie. Thanks for your genuine reactions, you are a treat to spend time with

[@JasonHauser125]

I didn't like JB the first time I saw it, as I was such a fan of Pulp and it was a different kind of vibe, but Jackie Brown is quite a good crime thriller in its own right.

[@Scott_Forsell]

Agree hard on Jackie Brown, my favorite QT movie. Especially the opening in the airport.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Thanks for the comment, I'll be sure to check out Jackie Brown after Reservoir Dogs. 🙌

[@musicgirl8977]

Yes, Jackie Brown is my favorite Quinten Tarantino movie.

[@heather9857]

Jackie Brown is my favorite QT movie. I'm not sure why JB eeks out at first place since Pulp Fiction Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bills are all brilliant.

[@el-violador]

Couple fun facts Vincent is always in the toilet because heroin constipates you Mia mistook the heroin for cocaine because it was packaged wrong. Vincent's dealer brings it up

[@MrJholshouser41]

Beat me to it

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Yes, it dawned on me much later how that mistake was made. Pretty interesting how they set that up.

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

LOL, I always thought that dude looked like Seinfeld. You're the first I ever heard to say it out loud. Then your little addition...chef's kiss. 😄

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

This is definitely one of the greatest song-collection-style soundtracks of all time. I heard that CD thousands of times.

[@gacchan]

What a reaction, Chris. Tarantino is definitely it's own kind of vibe.

[@madraven3346]

As someone who used to do some shady business once upon a time and had a few bad habits like Vincent's, taking Mia to the hospital would bring down a whole world of trouble that would land them both in hot water with Marcellus and the law. It was pretty much a requirement in those days to have an EMT or a compromised doctor on the payroll if anyone needed medical care that would bring down cops if you went to the hospital (ODs, gunshots, etc) And Vincent's habit is why he's always in the bathroom (constipation is the first unglamorous side effect of junk)

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Fun fact: If you go back and check you'll find Hunny Bunny's threat speech different between the beginning and end scenes.

[@LordVolkov]

I don't begrudge Tarantino multiple takes of Amanda Plummer going HAM. She's great!

[@michaelpaz5052]

My wife and I watched this movie opening weekend and couldn't stop talking about it to everyone! I don't know how many times I've watched it and reactions to it till this day! It's a part of my life.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Love that!

[@jcarterla]

My late friend Alexis is the guy hiding in the closet who tries to shoot them and misses. Their sister is the drug dealer's girlfriend. Travolta was a big star in the 70's and 80's but his career was essentially over before this movie came out. It single handedly restarted his career.

[@kosh6612]

The soundtrack is a MUST HAVE. Right alongside The Blues Brothers, Good Morning Vietnam and Reality Bites. And a movie you NEED to react to, Amelie.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Ok? Just added most of those to my calendar. But likely a very long ways away unless they win a poll. But they’ll all eventually be here.

[@ultrasonic6]

My husband and I have a tradition of watching Pulp Fiction every thanksgiving. I don't know why but we picked it up about 10 years ago 😄

[@roddo1955]

You know what they call a turkey in France...😅

[@itt23r]

Most people I think like this movie for all the interesting and fun vignettes. But after watching reactions to it many times now I've come to realize it is a morality play that might be best described by the quote from Ezekiel 25:17 Jules states at the start of the movie and breaks apart in the diner scene. But to get this you have to first put all the scenes into chronological order. When you do that you see it is about two central characters, Jules and Vincent and their attitude toward faith. It begins with a miracle that Jules recognize and Vincent ignores. What follows is an encounter with an angel, Mr. Wolf, who saves their bacon from the incident and actually symbolically baptises them in the backyard with a garden hose. Jules is grateful and eager to change his life. Vincent is unresponsive. And Vincent is then given 3 more chances to see the light (all highlighted by his being in the bathroom) . In the first one it happens when he leaves the restroom in the diner to walk right into an armed robbery. And in this one Vincent is saved by the newly reformed Jules whose calmness keeps Vincent from being shot. In his next close call he is saved by his drug dealer who represnts Jesus Himself (which you can see by his long hair. beard, tunic and his sandals. He even brings a girl back to life to make it clear. But Vincent is still unmoved and finally meets his just end in the bathroom of course at the hands of Butch, who I believe represents the angel of death. I say that by the fact that he kills more people than anyone else, shows no remorse over any of their deaths and even his choice of weapons in the army navy store (a katana sword) gives it away. So that is my take on it. Its a morality play I'm guessing Tarantino lifted from some anceint old world culture told using underworld characters and out of sequence to disguise its origins.

[@NativeNewMexican]

I like this take. It's not necessary to watch it in order to see the concept.

[@donpietruk1517]

There's also a lot of darkly comedic elements to the salvation plot line. Christopher Walkens whole watch story delivery, the accidental killing of Marvin, the drug dealers wife (great cameo by Roseanna Arquette) who has a needle obsession. Both people who shake Mia's hand (not touch her feet) in this movie end up suffering extreme consequences.

[@SonOfAldabarran]

"Fox Force Five" got reworked into "Kill Bill" & Uma Thurman's character was in fact deadly with a knife!

[@maximillianosaben]

No one is prepared for the pawn shop scene.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

There is no way to prepare. 😳

[@spooniesworld]

What's a gimp? Oh you sweet summer child!☺💚 Tbh that entire scene of the spider catching a couple flies, aka the gRape scene, is simply nightmare fuel!

[@RosieIfYouKnowMe]

I think I felt all the emotions with this movie, but every time I rewatch it, I find new things to be emotional about. Its fascinating how my emotional evolution exposes new emotional experiences in one film.

[@theConquerersMama]

Same

[@walker1812]

One small detail I loved is that heroin addiction gives you constipation. That’s why Vincent is always on the toilet. That and the dance sequence was a direct homage to a French new wave crime film by Godard called ‘Bande à part’ where they have a lovely impromptu dance in a cafe to a jukebox. Tarantino’s production company for his films is coincidentally called A Band Apart.

[@charleslee8313]

The bandage is on the back of his head because he cut himself shaving. I dug the Abomination/Nick Fury joke. I'm glad you noticed that things seem to happen when Vincent is in the bathroom.

[@johnsauer7422]

One of the greatest films ever made in my opinion. This film has been top-ten all time for me since I first saw it.

[@rickwelch8464]

In 94 my sister and I were out and about doing some errands and saw the movie poster for this movie, it had been out for one day, no trailer, no commercial, no idea. We decided to go in and check out the matinee. Been my favorite film ever since. So good.

[@jh1618]

Can't unsee the Seinfeld moment with the Logo 😅

[@thequietrevolution3404]

Great reaction to your first effort at watching a Tarantino film. *Some fun facts and revelations:* (1) The scene where Vincent Vega stabs downward on Mia Wallace's chest was actually filmed in reverse or backwards. (2) The machine gun on the kitchen table was purportedly left there by Marsalis Wallace when he went out for coffee and doughnuts. (3) The wallet with the words "BAD MF" actually belonged to Quentin Tarantino. He named it as an homage to singer/musician *Issac Hayes* who included those words in his song "Theme from Shaft".

[@zegh8578]

This is one of the first films I aquired, VHS casette - as well as the OST - I would listen to it on repeat while doing homework or drawing - it remains one of my favorite films, and it definitely is one to rewatch not only because it is that good, but because it is - even better? As in - everything confusing is accounted for; Tarantino really did everything right in this one, and it's such a fun composition and well executed interconnected story! Easy to miss: What are the odds of meeting Vincent *and* Marcellus so soon? Marcellus hugs Vincent in the beginning of the film - they are close - Jules is out; Marcellus was carrying a large pink box of donuts (it's early morning) and *two* tall coffees, when Butch ran him over! Also - clue: Mia did not snort cocaine, when she overdosed. Everything is accounted for!

[@walker1812]

I remember coming home from college and seeing this in the theater with my best friend. At the end of that movie we weren’t quite sure what we had just watched, it was unlike anything before for us, but we knew we’d just seen something great. There’s a little desensitizing effect that modern audiences have for this movie in that they have most assuredly seen a movie that was influenced by this and this softened the power this movie had when it was all alone and new. Like a punch to the face of cinema.

[@fahooga]

Kill Bill is basically the pilot Mia was in, kinda. All Tarantino films are in the same universe and have vague references to each other.

[@salsonny]

old myths and legends , the story is if you want to steal someone's Soul, go thru the back if the neck, hence the bandaid on the back of Marsalis neck

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Fascinating!

[@Ailsworth]

It is certain that, if that gold watch is running and keeping time, it has been not only run through a hydrosonic cleaner, but has been disassembled completely and every surface that contacts another surface carefully cleaned and polished.

[@gk5891]

This movie and "No Country for Old Men" are the two movies that I spent days afterwards waiting for it to conclude in my mind.

[@isabelsilva62023]

Not only does Christopher Walken's story cover the time span of the Vietnam war almost entirely but also as events later showed everyone has to fight in one way or another for that watch. Not a rectangle it's "don't be a square", oh you youngsters😄!

[@CasualNerdReactions]

I have no idea, but it made me laugh either way. It felt like a mistake they amplified by drawing the rectangle.

[@isabelsilva62023]

@@CasualNerdReactions No it is something us old timers used to say (without the image🙂) The watch story is Tarantino's trademark way of making "serious" things become hilarious.

At the divine intervention scene.. you may notice in the edit, that holes are in the wall Before the shooting happens. 😅

[@CharlesVanNoland]

I remember when I first watched Pulp Fiction I was inspired by the intertwining separate stories. It wasn't a linear beginning-to-end story in its presentation, and it expanded my mind. Also, I watched this film at around 12yo, so I hadn't seen many films yet, but of the ones I had seen this one surely stood out just because of how it separated the narrative into chunks that had overlap and intertwinement.

[@cheshirekat528]

Idk if anyone has mentioned it, but there is a fun reference to Jules and his famous “Bible Quote” from Pulp Fiction in Captain America:The Winter Soldier. Loved the Fury vs. Abomination line!

I was around 15 when I first watched this movie when it was released for home video, and I have been a Tarantino fan ever since. Happy to see in the comments that you are continuing with more of his work. At this time I will make my obligatory recommendations for watching True Romance & Four Rooms. True Romance was written by Tarantino, but he sold the screenplay in order to help fund making Reservoir Dogs, which was his feature film debut. Tony Scott ended up directing True Romance. True Romance is one of my all time favorite movies and it is interesting to see how another director handles a Tarantino written film. Four Rooms takes place on New Year’s Eve and is actually 4 short stories, with each story being directed by a different director, Tarantino being one of them. Both movies have a stacked cast. Like a lot of directors, Tarantino has his favorite actors and actresses that he works with regularly. Looking forward to more Tarantino reactions!

[@1pknail]

I remember seeing this in theaters just after it came out, back when there used to be $1.75 second-run theaters. I remember loving it immensely, though I couldn't articulate why. Love how at least 2/3 of what Jules recites as Ezekiel 25:17 is not even in the Bible; the only part that's actually that passage is the "strike down ... with furious anger" and "you will know my name is the Lord" bits. Would definitely recommend checking out all of Tarantino's other movies. Everyone has their favorites and least favorites of his, but his filmography is genuinely an album with zero skips. It won't take too long to get through them all -- there are only ten (nine, if you count Kill Bill as one). He's working on one now that is supposed to be his final film as a director.

[@jdssmity]

" clearly this is an operation that needs to be shut down" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mokoflama]

The show that Mia describes is pretty similar to Kill Bill also written and directed by Tarantino with the idea by Uma and Quentin during the filming of this movie, they initially called it The Bride

Fox Force Five was a real TV series from the early 90s. It starred Natasha Henstridge who had just debuted in the SPECIES sci/fi movies as the gorgeous alien. It lasted only 2-3 episodes.

[@willcool713]

This is one of those movies... My friends and I thought it was a riot when it came out. We all grew up rough and delinquent, too smart for our own good. And our orbit always included these sorts of trainwrecks, at least at the fringes. We laughed and cracked-up quoting it forever, because it was so outlandishly not quite realistic, but still so recognizable. And it's a movie that I love to see reactors watch, because some are so baffled and horrified. Generally I see Tarantino as a bit baroque in catering to violent and salacious interests. But it works really well in this movie. And it shows well which reactors have seen the less seemly side of life. You have the temperament of a therapist.

[@slayskool1964]

FUN FACT: 13:37 The OD scene was stolen from a story Steven Prince told in Scorsese's film American Boy (which is FREE on KZbin). It actually happened to him almost exactly as the scene plays out.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but on discussion forums people have postulated that Marcellus had sold his soul to the devil for success, and that brief case had his soul in it which is why it glowed.

I would recommend all of Tarantino films in chronological order. They are all good to great from beginning to current. I love his early work including Jackie Brown, that I think gets overshadowed by the rest of his work.

[@LordVolkov]

If you want to get super deep into his work, mix in the Tarantino scripts he didn't direct (True Romance, Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn), and Planet Terror to double feature with Deathproof The ultimate chronological Tarantino tour 🧐

There was no Vanilla Coke in the '90s. What Vincent ordered was a regular Coke with vanilla syrup added to it, soda fountain-style.

Happy to see you liked this! I saw it in the theater when it came out and the atmosphere in the audience was electric. I think we all realized we were seeing something special. You mentioned enjoying the music (I did too - went out and bought the soundtrack immediately afterwards). One of many great things Tarantino is known for is the great music choices in his movies. An interview I read of his he mentioned he often has specific songs in mind when he writes his scenes and then he gets the rights to the songs when he makes the films. He’s so good at creating these memorable scenes that for me whatever song is playing during the scenes have become forever linked in my mind with those songs. For better or worse 😉. Enjoy your Tarantino trip - it’s quite a ride!

[@howiedavis2316]

My favorite movie, thank you for your review (nice haircut btw). So much my favorite that I bought and still to this day, use the matching wallet. I think Tarantino improved the movie a great deal, by not telling it in chronological order. There were so many little hidden gems and interesting ways of doing things, that were so easily missed. Like when Butch is in the taxi, in order to put more emphasis on the scene, very few notice that the outside and background are in black and white. Thank you again, have a great day.

[@rg3388]

Glad you noted the Pepsi challenge, as that forms part of one of the film's internal rhymes. Pepsi challenge + vanilla coke yield changing Coke to Pepsi. Also, both Vincent and Jules pay $1,500 for something. Butch interacts consecutively with 2 women who are both brunette, barefoot and have foreign accents. Butch's fight involves boxers with the names of 2 U.S. presidents. And so forth.

Quentin Tarantino's directing style takes a bit of getting used to but his love of cinema and different genres shine through in all his work. Pretty much enjoyed all of his work especially his earlier ones and this was a great showcase for John Travolta in his many career revivals

One of my all time fav films. I have one of those BMF wallets. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

You hit the nail on the head about enjoying watching the movie. This is the reason for watching movies to be entertained. There’s no over all messages that your supposed to have after. No philosophy but that of being entertaining. The performances were top notch. The story was well written. The arrangement of the story was great. The actor that played Buddy Holly in the restaurant was Steve Buscemi. Tarantino said that the brief case had Marsellus Wallace’s soul in it , and the band aid on the back of the neck was where it was taken from.

08:43 It's a square, but it's stretched out to a rectangle because of the different ratios for the TV sets. It looked fine on the big screen.

[@tanjabuchholz5314]

Yes, this whole movie is a vibe...especially the soundtrack

[@paulamoya7956]

I loved it so much I saw it 3 times In The theater, including opening night🌠

First of your reactions I watched as django. This was the second. You’re really good at spotting lookalikes. In Django was dad from modern family. This was Jerry Seinfeld. Legit made me laugh. 👌 well done

"Don't be a rectangle." lol

[@PhatLayCes7825]

a quintessential movie to see if you're a cinefile.. so many directors have copied Tarantino's ultra violence, non linear, and dialogue heavy scripts. Pulp Fiction is truly American cinema at its finest.

[@lawrencefine5020]

One of best movies I've ever seen. Great performances, great casting, and a great writing. You MUST do Inglorious Basterds, Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

You got it.

I think Marcellus went with Vincent to Butch's apartment. Marcellus went for some food and was returning when Butch ran him over. He wasn't just randomly near the apartment.

[@fieryangel522]

Great reaction. Glad you enjoyed it. Other Tarantino films I would highly recommend to you would be: "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" ; "Reservoir Dogs" ; "Death Proof."

It wasn't odds it was just him going to get food for them. That's why he left Vince the big gun
