What is "Real" Pulp Fiction?

Real Pulp Fiction

The term "pulp fiction" refers to a literary genre used to describe magazines printed on cheap "pulp" paper in the first half of the 20th century.

Wikipedia says: "Pulps were the successor to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many respected writers wrote for pulps, the magazines are best remembered for their lurid and exploitative stories and sensational cover art. Modern superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants of "hero pulps"; pulp magazines often featured illustrated novel-length stories of heroic characters, such as The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Phantom Detective."

Does anyone know what kind of board shorts/swim trunks Jules wears toward the end of the movie? I know it's a minute detail but I'm thinking of doing this character for an upcoming event and really want to nail all the details if possible. Any help if greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Lik Wong ( Riki-Oh ) Video Clip Collection

Lik Wong ( Riki-Oh )
I am a huge fan of Kill Bill. Really, it's not so much a pair of movies as a pair of mind-blowing experiences. By the end of the second picture my senses were completely overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion. How these movies did not win every single Oscar is beyond me.

But I admit when it comes to the martial arts movies that inspired Tarantino to make this film, I am pretty clueless. So I did a little research which led to other worlds ( not literally but figuratively ). One of the best finds was the immensely entertaining Japanese Manga-based film Lik Wong, renamed in the USA ( for obvious reasons ) as Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. It obviously lacks the production quality of Kill Bill, but maybe it was an inspiration for some of the gore and humor? Enjoy these video clips...

Mr Wolf''s First Scene

Mojoe asks:

What is going on the background when Mr. Wolf first appears on screen? He is talking on the phone to Mr. Wallace. It's pretty early in the morning, he is well dressed, apparently in a hotel room. There are lots of other people there, all well dressed, even children. Does anyone know what is going on in the background in this scene?
