Another neat little bow that I think you missed: Vincent was not, in fact, alone while staking out Butch's apartment. Because Jules had left him at that point, Marcellus was at the apartment as well. He had stepped out to get coffee and donuts when Butch arrived to retrieve the watch. That's why Marcellus was crossing the street on his way back to the apartment when Butch ran him down.

[@karidennis6154]

@ViraIVibesno one really expected butch to go back to his apartment which is why marcellus was there, it was a bunch of sitting around just in case. They’ve probably been there for hours, since late the previous night, he’s hungry and wants coffee, he might be the boss but vincent is still his friend so when vincent heads to the bathroom he says that he’s going to go get coffee and heads out, after all it’s only a few blocks away. I can see it happening like that.

The drug thing is a good example of how tightly written this movie is. When Vincent buys the heroin his dealer tells him he has to put it in a baggy. Vincent also buys the most potent heroin the dealer has. Vincent can barely handle it and he's an addict with a tolerance built up. Mia finds the baggy, thinks it is coke and does a massive line. That seemingly throwaway line of dialogue from the dealer about putting it in a baggy actually impacts the story later.

While Butch was driving to his apartment there was a news blurb about someone stealing the trophy from Jack Rabbit Slim's. Also, Butch keyed Vincent's car. If you follow the timeline, The Wolf got rid of Jules' car so they took Vincent's car to Marsellus' bar. Vincent and Butch had words and Butch keyed his car as he left.

I like that you mentioned the editing. Sally Menke edited all of Tarantino's early films including "Pulp Fiction", but she tragically died just after she worked on "Inglourious Basterds". She had an inventive editing style with a quirky sense of timing which gave Tarantino's work a particular feel. This is why the films after her death can feel a bit bloated and long-winded.

[@tiredoffools8929]

@Trenton Hancock Thanks for sharing that. I had no idea about Sally Menke's contribution to Tarantino's earlier films (His 90s still his best works in my opinion) There is a considerable drop off in editing quality after Inglorious Bastards and now I know why.

Marsellus and Vincent were watching Butch's apartment together. Marsellus left to get them some food which is why Vincent wasn't alarmed when he heard somebody enter the apartment; he thought Marsellus was returning and I'm sure nobody really expected Butch to show up at his own apartment after the fight.

Additionally, about the briefcase, Pulp Fiction writer Avary said this: "Originally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen. This way each audience member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate contents. All you were supposed to know was that it was "so beautiful." So clearly (as done by Many artists of many mediums), the audience / fan / viewer, is given the opportunity to use their imagination- so the "object" is not anything but your own imagination.

She hit it right on the nose with Tarantino and editing. The reason for the editing difference is 2 fold; his long time editor, the great Sally Menke passed away in 2010 and Tarantino's reputation as being a genius. Very few editors would be willing to challenge Tarantino's creative vision by cutting what actually needed to be cut. Sally, knowing him before he become "The Quinton Tarantino" would challenge him for his own good. Filmmaking is a collaborative effort. Success can sometimes be a hindrance in the creation of great art (or anything else.)

[@tristramcoffin926]

This is my first time watching one of your reactions. You two are a super awesome fun time couple.

[@DarthSpringsteen]

16:55 *Watching Pulp during a Family Gathering at 2003.* This was the first time I ever saw my Dad, Grandad and Uncle laugh. They were literally holding each other after the "Dysentery" line. To this day my Dad still giggles.

[@guscarlson7021]

"I'll just walk da earth....like Cain in da Kung Fu." Love that line.

[@mastereppsreturns6586]

She just took that "Awesome fun time" and just RAN with it!

[@chardtomp]

Christopher Walken was definitely the best possible guy to give that watch monolog.

[@paulhewes7333]

The walk Butch made from the car to his apartment was done without any soundtrack, and the first time I saw this in the theater, it was one of the most tense scenes.

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Harvey Keitel also played Winston Wolfe in a bunch of Direct Line insurance commercials in the UK.

[@MrGpschmidt]

A wild ride. I saw this at a sneak preview thanks to a buddy who had an extra ticket. When Vincent is shot I leaned next to him and said "Oh man there's gonna be a riot they got the reels mixed up!" Never before had there been a non-linear film like this - and a lot happens too. Great ensemble of talent and proving Tarantino to be a master filmmaker and storyteller. Nice job guys.

[@MrGpschmidt]

*Also - RE: Jack Rabbit Slim's - it's fictional unfortunately and the reference to the milkshake order of Martin & Lewis or Amos & Andy means vanilla or chocolate (the former was a white comedy team; the latter black both in the '50s)

[@donpietruk1517]

Hate to dispel the myth that Tarantino invented non linear storytelling in film. But the first notable instance was by the Japanese legend Akira Kurosawa in his 1950 classic Rashomon. American film maker Robert Altman also used the same technique in some of his 1970s movies such as Nashville and McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

[@davewhitmore1958]

Awesome fun eye movement during the Bruce Willis towel scene :P

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

I once saw a friend's mother resuscitating someone with an adrenaline shot the exact same way this film portraits. So it does work.

[@andyblake9673]

Tarantino's masterpiece! One of my top 5 favorite films of all time, it never gets old!

[@tylercatron9783]

Had busy day today, but finally setting down to watch this! Can't wait to watch along with you guys!!! I even popped popcorn. You both are so entertaining to watch along with! Keep the videos coming!

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

I've watched this plenty of times, and today is the first time I realized Steve Buscemi is the Buddy Holly watiter at Jack Rabbit Slims. And ever since I learned Matt Dillon was supposed to play Bruce Willis character, I keep imagining him in the role.

[@YTWanderer]

Holy Shit ! Have watched this numerous times over the last 27 years. Never knew that, let alone realized it myself.

[@SalGomez]

Also worth mentioning, this film was a "comeback" role for Travolta after a few years of no work

[@22Phantasm]

Firstly, to 'The Mrs,' I love your T-shirt. Secondly it's always fun watching 'Mr & Mrs' discussing and breaking down the movie... adding your own individual takes. Great fun.

[@LucaM86]

The waiter is Steve Buscemi 9:47 . Easter eggs: they dont win the dance competition, they steal the trophy

[@havok6280]

Burger King has sold burgers for breakfast for years. At least in CA, Jack in the Box and Carl's Jr. do, too. In Oregon, Burgerville has burgers at breakfast time. And of course Denny's has burgers at all hours.

[@adgato75]

Yeah , we used to specifically go to Burger King because you could get Whoppers at 7:30 am on the way to a work site.

[@botwitaprice]

There's also "Nation's ", where breakfast is served as well

[@theDarkness558]

I gotta say "awesome fun time" should become the channel catchphrase

[@TheHashBot]

The Mrs’ scratched her nose right when she declared she really liked “lie to me”...... Shes obviously lying!

[@robertmccauley754]

Best edit of anyone on KZbin. Well done!

[@SaRENRampaiger]

Tarantino once said that mystery thing in the case is up to the viewer's imagination. Some say it's gold, money, others say it's Wallace's soul..

[@johnhoward7083]

One of the biggest things that people always miss is the fact that he didn't stop the bullets he made them pass right through them. There are actual bullet holes directly behind them in locations that would have required them to have moved or the bullets to have passed through them.

[@Thievius333]

Reel to reel is often a pretty expensive but high quality means of listening to music. Audiophile to the max.

[@Cheepchipsable]

High end equipment usually means poser.

[@califinn]

It's hard to pin the mood of a decade to a single movie, but when i think back on the 90's, my formidable years, I always first think of Pulp Fiction. It was such a cultural phenomenon....and it happened to be a fantastically crafted and acted movie. It was beyond huge when it came out.

[@baronvg]

Personally, I thought the Ketchup/Catch joke was pretty damn good as far as puns go. But it literally took me basically 25 years to realize the pun because of the way Uma Thurman delivers the line (whether intentional or not) 🤣

[@jasonwebb7978]

As far as Cows (Cattle) go, there is a thing called the ring of repugnance which is a ring of grass around a Cow pat (poop) that cows will not touch. My Dad actually bought a machine to scatter and spread out the poop so it would dissipate faster and there would be less "Rings of Repugnance" and hence more pasture. Also here (in Australia) we imported African dung beetles to do the same job.

[@adgato75]

It is funny that you mentioned the film "It's Pat". Tarantino did an uncredited script polish for that film. Acted as a "script doctor". Possibly where he met Julia Sweeney. Although he may have met her just around the scene in LA , previously.

[@dannythepainter]

I've always loved PF - and I loved your viewing/reaction, for sure! For whatever reason, it just now occurs to me that this movie, in particular, has just... everything! Everything a movie-goer wants to experience. I think it's so special for exactly that reason. Butch stopping at the door gives me chills every time. Damn. It's almost spiritual.

[@promnightdumpsterbaby9553]

"He should have shoved it up his ass (the watch)." Lol best comment in this reaction :D

[@harleydavidson9466]

This shit is between you, Me and Mr. Soon To Be Living The Rest Of His Short Ass Life In Agonizing Pain Rapist here... Best line of dialogue ever. Worth the price of admission right here. BTW, recently stumbled on to your page because of my love for horror films. Y'all May be my favorite of all the many pages that "react" to movies and shows. It feels like I'm sitting with my wife showing her all of these films. Keep up the great work!!!

[@wthwasthat8884]

Lie To Me was a brilliant show. Can still hear the theme song when I think of that show.

[@mwplays8812]

Dude awesome reaction this is my favorite movie and i'm 26, stumbled upon it by accident and fell in love with it.

[@wubranch1]

The Vincent and Mia episode gives away that her and Tony Rockyhara had a secret as well, maybe she doesn’t even know what Marcellus found out about the two. But what happened was more than nothing.

[@ThirdHandl]

We don't know that, she is a clever girl.

[@GaryPewteaux63]

30:58 "Everyone asks, What's That?...IT'S PAT!" Love It's Pat!

[@stonecoldku4161]

I think I'm right there with you on the editing of his movies having gone done in quality a little bit overtime, but I think the reason for that is through most of his career he had only worked with one editor. Unfortunately his editor passed away in a hiking accident or she got really dehydrated during a hike and passed away. I want to say the last movie she worked on with Tarantino was Inglorious Bastards.

[@nathan4919]

Quentin Tarantino mentions Tennessee in a lot of his movies because he lived here.

[@charlesbunch8383]

Wow, good to see you guys doing this one! One of my all-time favorites!

[@tedalert]

How is it that I just today noticed the headphones going through your hat? So smooth! Respect!

[@christopheclaus8505]

another fun fact : everytime vincent goes to the bathroom something bad happens : mia takes the heroin , the robbery in the diner and he gets killed by butch .

[@DefenestrateYourself]

Damn. You’re right

[@tapoemt3995]

That was a reel to reel, before 8 track or at least same time. Now you're REALLY making me feel old! Also, I love that Dwight Yoakam hat!

[@traceyreid4585]

Great choice, with a sterling cast, I love how their waiter Buddy (Holly) at Jack Rabbit Slims is played by Steve Buscemi! One of my all time faves

[@MrChava54]

Mrs: You only have six bullets, you can't execute EVERYONE. Bender from Futurama: I'm almost out of ammo, everybody scrunch together.

[@jimmurf4181]

Deadpool: I only have seven bullets left, some of you are gonna have to share

[@elskeletor3566]

I'm still shocked that there are people who have never seen this film. I remember seeing this with my Dad in the movie theater. Tim Roth is actually in several Quentin Tarantino films. Quentin Tarantino likes to use the same actors in his movies.

[@adgato75]

And starred in "Four Rooms" , which is uneven but excellent.

[@195511SM]

That ceramic kangaroo at 21:43 .......I could swear that either my father, or my grandfather had one of those. Sometime back in the 1960s.

[@petetutte]

Love this movie. The Bonnie Situation is my favourite part. I love Winston Wolf and Jimmy!
