he did say that, however, i don't think that was originally the idea... it doesn't make much sense.. especially when you take the timeline of the entire movie into consideration.. i think tarantino said yes to opie and anthony "in the moment" not giving much thought to how that would actually work out.. i think he thought it sounded good so he committed to it being forethought... but.. lets see how that rally fits.. the dialog between vincent and butch at the bar was monday late morning.. he told lance about the car getting keyed the very next day, tuesday, and said "someone keyed it the other day".. not yesterday.. he said it was keyed 5 days after he returned from amsterdam.. then.. we have no reason to believe that butch and vincent had ever met before.. so how would butch know which car was vincent's... and.. vincent and jules were taking a cab because jules car they were in was crushed with marvin in the trunk that morning.. so how did vincent's car get to the bar? sure it could have been there already.. but according t the script they arrived in it to the bar.. so, why didn't they change clothes when they went to pick it up?? i think tarantino just told opie and anthony he had figured out a "backstory" before he thought of the ramifications of what he was saying.. the "butch keyed vincent's car" theory just doesn't hold water IMHO... maybe i'm wrong.. but the "a few days ago" the tells lance.. would have to have ben just the afternoon before.. and to me, that's "yesterday" not few days ago..

I can only just let it slide because the "Dead N Storage" moment was one of the funniest parts in the whole movie. But the acting was shockingly bad.

Someone broke "Pulp Fiction" down to me as a series of interconnecting storylines. In which each person is the protagonist in their own story. So when each story is happening the story comes from the protagonist's point of view. When Jules is in the room speaking to Brad, it's from his point of view. When Butch has to go back for the watch and save Marcellus it's from his point of view. When Vincent goes to dinner with Mia it's from Vincent's point of view. So although the characters and storylines have interconnection, it all depends on the lens through which it is viewed. AT the start of the movie we see the robbery through the eyes of Bonnie and Clyde, by the end of the movie we see it through the eyes of Jules because he is a more important character throughout the plot of this movie. Everyone is surprised when Vincent gets killed, but he was in Butch's storyline when he got shot. An amazing way to flip the perspective of multiple seemingly unrelated storylines throughout a movie. Using the subtext of one storyline to drive the plot of another storyline.

This isn't exactly a new technique however. Akira Kurosawa first used it in his 1950 masterpiece Rashomon, telling the story of a rape/murder of a bride and her samurai husband from 4 different perspectives with overlapping timelines. The American film maker Robert Altman used similar techniques in his 1970's masterpieces Nashville and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Tarantino however did apply the technique to his post modernist film style making a different kind of movie to what mainstream audiences were used to. One thing that was different about the 1980s and 90s from today is that film was a lot more daring and unpredictable.

It's not really important what it actually is, only that everyone wants it. The Maltese Falcon served the same purpose in that movie. That being said there are theories that it was Marcellus Wallace's soul that he sold for being a successful criminal. The 666 combo. The eerie glow and the band aid on the back of his neck in the movie (where the soul is said to be extracted from) are all clues.

Steve Buscemi as the Buddy Holly dressed waiter. You need to see Resevoir Dogs, cause Vincent Vega's brother is in it, Vic Vega/Mr. Blonde (played by Michael Madsen, who also was the original choice for the role of Vincent but he had to turn it down cause he was busy doing another movie which was Wyatt Earp). Daniel Day-Lewis was also considered as Vincent and even auditioned, and Bruce Willis originally wanted to play Vincent, but Tarantino already promised that role to John Travolta, but he also accepted the role of Butch (which was originally considered for Mickey Rourke, who turned it down, and in a previous draft of the script Butch was originally an up and coming boxer instead of a has-been never made to the top boxer, and Matt Dillon was considered for the up and coming-version of Butch).

Vincent chooses not to sleep with Mia and saves her life after she OD's. Butch is allowed to leave LA alive after saving Marcellus. And Jules helps Honey Bunny and Yolanda after the "act of God." He reads the tea leaves and leaves the gangster life. Vincent doesn't, and he pays with his life after running into Butch whom he previously, and needlessly insulted.

hey Shree. I hope you notice that every time Vincent has gone to the bathroom (3 times), something bad happens. Plus he was reading the same book in all the instances. The reason he was always in the bathroom, was from the fact that Vincent gave up Heroin after the Mia overdose incident. Heroin makes you constipated. Once Vincent gave it up, he had to go to the bathroom all the time. Also, as a side note, withdrawal from heroin can make your body muscles (aka the finger on the trigger) unexpectedly contract or twitch.

Legend has it the soul is removed from the body by a needle at the back of the neck. I guess a soul is valuable so what is in the case is Marsellus' soul. [Notice the band aid on the back of his neck when first introduced] Officially it's a McGuffin though. The movie is actually shot in order showing 4 days in a row [with the watch delivery to Butch being a simple flash-back] The last line of the four days is "Zed's dead". Then the second half of the first day is shown to bring us back to the beginning of all that followed on those next three days. It is largely about redemption, second chances and character. I like that the movie went into what the world of hit men and high crime people must be like for those in it. The two that got out of that world are Butch and Jules. [Butch earned his way out, and Jules also did by letting those two go in the restaurant and his "moment of clarity"] Both showed worthy character. Yes, Tarantino was the low point for the movie as far as acting goes, but like you say it's tolerated since he is so good as a director. This movie didn't jump all over. Just the first day was shown in two parts. First in order as the first of the four days then as a flashback to the second half of the first day. Back yards there all have walls around them for privacy. The Wolf was definitely cool. He was the perfect "cleaner". He fixes problems. Good movie.

They have all kinds of theories about what's in the actual brief case & it ranges anywhere from Marcellus actual soul being in the briefcase... all the way to it being gold Nazi bullion from Fort Knox , there's a lot of crazy theories out there about it but the only one that makes perfect sense is it being the diamonds /whatever jewelry they actually stole Tarantino's first film *Reservoir Dogs* simply because of the fact that he made a "Tarantino" universe & Vincent Vega is actually the brother of Victor Vega , the serial killer/robber from *Reservoir Dogs* that helped steal the diamonds during the heist in that film (QT wrote a script for a story called *The Vega Bros.* but both John Travolta & Michael Madson are too old to play as those characters in a prequel about them obviously but it could have been done if he wouldn't of made all the other films he chose to make after *Pulp Fiction* which were all the movies that got him really famous & familiar to everyone such as *Kill Bill* & *Inglorious Bastards* !!! I honestly think he could have made those films later so he could have done *The Vega Bros* instead while the two actors were still fairly young but hopefully we will get atleast a comic book version or novel of it❤️

Why do women who react to this always make excuses for Butch's girlfriend?? lol He was busy doing his part, risking his life so they can both be set for life while she's sitting on her ass ordering room service. She had ONE job to do, and couldn't do it. She deserves getting yelled at... It's no injustice.... She'll live lol ....if the roles were reversed, I'm sure most people would be fine with her yelling at Butch...

Great reaction to a great movie. A popular (but unconfirmed) theory about the briefcase is that it contains a halo that Marcellus needs to buy his soul back from the Devil. This is why he has a Band-Aid on the back of his neck; that's from where his soul was extracted. The combination on the case also helps this theory, but like I said, it's unconfirmed.

The music at the beginning was Misirlou by Dick Dale & His Del-Tones. It's surf guitar, not western music, so-called because it was popular with surfers. No one knows what was in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase. Tarantino has never told anyone, and he may not even know himself. There are all kinds of theories, but in the end, it doesn't matter. In my opinion, it's better as a mystery. It wouldn't be so interesting if we knew what it was. The Buddy Holly waiter was played by Steve Buscemi. He's been in a bunch of movies, including Fargo and The Big Lebowski. I'd love it if you reacted to those two films. Leave the gun. Take the pop tart.

His first film was shot mostly Gonzo style and still my favorite. Reservoir Dogs! His first non directed movie but scripted was True Romance! Now that's star stuffed and loaded with twists! It's Quentin's imaginary life as a film, when he was a video store clerk! I think this is an homage to a very old Kubrick film, The Killing.

To be fair to Tarantino as an actor, I think you should watch some interviews with him. It was pretty close to how he says things in real life. He has a weird way of talking that will make his acting work better, imo
