Pulp Fiction is the story of three men — Jules, Vincent, and Butch — and the choices each of them makes regarding life and death, honor and disgrace, and the vagaries of chance.
The title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. Tarantino wrote Pulp Fiction in 1992 and 1993, incorporating scenes that Avary originally wrote for True Romance (1993).
1990s
Chuck Berry, 'You Never Can Tell' But perhaps more interesting is the fact that rock's great guitar hero hardly plays guitar on his 1964 single "You Never Can Tell," which sports heaping helpings of boogie-woogie piano and sax solos – perfect for dancing at Jack Rabbit Slim's Twist Contest in Pulp Fiction.
Then when they say that Pulp Fiction is the best movie of the 90's lol. It wasn't even the best movie of its year. The Shawshank Redemption is on another planet, leaps and bounds better. Hell Forrest Gump is a better movie, and even that is overrated itself.
Uma Thurman
Laurence Fishburne
Blanca Blanco models the same black wig Uma Thurman wore in Pulp Fiction as she stuns in a black blazer and matching undies... and nothing else. Blanca Blanco loves to try on different looks - she has been everything from a mermaid to Marilyn Monroe for her fun photo shoots.
Modesty Blaise
Vincent comes out of the bathroom to find Butch pointing Marcellus' gun at him. After a few tense seconds, Butch shoots Vincent dead, avenging his early insult.
Pulp Fiction is at its best when Tarantino pairs two actors and lets them do their thing. The obvious example is his brilliant pairing of Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta as a pair of buddy hit-men, which is probably the most inspired on-screen coupling of the nineties.
One scene stands alone in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film "Pulp Fiction" for pure heart-stopping shock – when Uma Thurman's dying Mia is revived from a heroin overdose by her bodyguard chaperone Vincent (John Travolta) and drug-dealer Lance (Eric Stoltz). ... "Once you see that scene, you can never unsee it.
While listening to Urge Overkill's version of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon", Mia overdoses after snorting heroin she finds in Vince's coat pocket, which she was wearing, believing it to be cocaine.
Mia was obviously involved in the dirty side of Marcellus's business and it was clear she felt whatever happened to Rocky Horror want anybody else's business. Marcellus threw Antwan Rockamora out of a window because Antwan stole the case from Marcellus.
The strong and unique connection between her and Vincent reveals this, however their romance is abruptly ended as she over doses on drugs and Vincent is killed the next day. While their relationship is never developed, Mia as a character is less of a mystery to the audience.
The Bride And Mia Wallace Are Actually The Same Person.
Butch is an everyday hardworking joe with modest tastes in clothes, apartment, car who loves wants to please his girlfriend and just be happy. He doesn't just beat the other boxer, he unloads on him so hard, so fast in such a rage of pent up fury that he kills him.
Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs ARE Connected Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are also connected by two other characters, though this one is not as obvious or widely-known as the Vega brothers: Mr. White/Larry Dimmick (Harvey Keitel) and Jimmie Dimmick (Tarantino).
Apparently, The Gimp is a hitchiker who fell victim to Maynard and his brother. Plus, Tarantino intended for the poor guy to die by the end of the film: “It doesn't quite play this way in the movie, but in my mind when I wrote it, the Gimp's dead. Butch knocked him out and then when he passed out he hung himself.
Meanwhile Butch has since betrayed Marsellus, who vows to kill him. While Marsellus and Vincent are staking out Butch's apartment, Marsellus leaves to get them some coffee and Vincent goes into the bathroom. ... Seconds go by, a pair of Pop-Tarts jump out of the toaster and Butch shoots Vincent in the chest, killing him.
Since Butch saved him Marsellus called off his feud with him, provided Butch left Los Angeles forever and swore that he would keep what happened there between the three of them. Afterwards Zed was tortured, mutilated and killed by Marsellus' men.
"In Pulp Fiction Vincent Vega is constantly on the toilet, leading to his eventual demise," PoglaTheGrate writes. "One of the side effects of heroin abuse is constipation." ... In the sequence with Mia, he's also in the bathroom as she overdoses on heroin, while in the diner at the end, it's before he's shot to death.
Vincent was showing his disdain for a fighter who takes a dive. I think that Butch was just in the wrong place at the wrong time for Vince. Vince had had a exchange with about what he was going to do with Marsellus's wife which had angered him, the barman realised this and quickly walked away.
After agreeing to throw his boxing match (which doesn't actually end up happening), Butch is looking for a way to retaliate. He didn't want to do anything to kingpin Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) obviously, so instead, he keys Vega's car out of frustration.
Mia and Vincent never win the trophy at the Jack Rabbit Slim's, they actually steal it.
Originally Answered: Why did John Travolta's character dis Bruce Willis' in Pulp Fiction, calling him 'punchy'? Butch, played by Willis, was a boxer who Marcellus Wallace bribed to take a dive. ... The meaning of names: “What is your name? / Butch. / What does it mean? / I'm an American, honey.
