The Pulp Fiction Movie Page

This is the opening scene and credits of Pulp Fiction. Enjoy.

Roger Avary wrote the first element of what would become the Pulp Fiction screenplay in the fall of 1990. Tarantino later completed the script in 1992 while living in Amsterdam.

About the only thing that sticks with me as terribly incongruous about Pulp Fiction is wondering what exactly were Brett and his buddies doing with the apparently very valuable property of Marsellus Wallace. They come across like a bunch of not terribly competent college kids, way out of MW's league.

So what was he doing having Brett and his buddies even working for him in the first place not to mention holding that briefcase?

You will definitely learn a thing or two from Ryan while you are entertained in this hard-working fan video.

After kind of misunderstanding QT's first movie Reservoir Dogs as an "exercise in style", Chicago-based PBS film review legends Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert suddenly compare Mr. Tarantino to Orson Welles, Richard Hitchcock, Spike Lee, and Martin Scorsese. Wow. Two thumbs up!

Could anyone please help me finding the locations of the movie on Google Earth?

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a project identifying some of the fonts used in Pulp Fiction. I''m looking mainly at intentional usage of fonts: titles, created products, etc.

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.

Before the days of TV, pulps were how young adults learned about popular culture and the criminal underworld. Stories were often grossly exaggerated and explicit for the times. It is this energy of the genre that Tarantino is trying to exhibit in the film Pulp Fiction, the same way he exhibits his love for the film genre grindhouse in the 2007 film of the same name (also shown separately as Death Proof).

Earlier in the movie, Eric Stoltz's character asks "I'm all out of balloons, is a baggie okay?"

Now I am no drug expert but am I to infer that heroin is supposed to go into a balloon and cocaine into a baggie? And Mia Wallace thought that was cocaine and that's why she overdosed?

A friend of mine who knows a lot more about drugs than I do said that's not true, but what do you guys think?

Mr. Tarantino explains how he came up with the ideas for his best known work.

What t-shirt does Samuel Jackson (Jules) wear when he is with Vincent Vega with his "UC Santa Cruz" t-shirt dressed like dorks?

Where can I find a bad mother fucker wallet (also known as a pulp fiction wallet) like the one Jules had in the movie? I don't want a cheap one, I want a good quality one like Jules would have. Thanks!

Pretty much everyone's favorite actor from the 1990's, Samuel L Jackson, describes working with Quentin Tarantino.

Can anyone tell me what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? And what is the Band-Aid on the back of Marsellus's neck about? Is there a connection? You never see or hear anyone say what's in the case. Thanks, - Hedy

Love him or hate him (or both like me), Clint Eastwood is an American film icon. He in fact may be the living embodiment of American History (both right and wrong).

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?

Do you know where I can find the UCSC banana slug shirt in the LA area? It's the one that Vincent was wearing in the last few scenes of Pulp Fiction.

Does anyone know who keyed Vincent's car? They seem to talk a lot about in the movie but you never hear who did it.

Why did Marsellus Wallace have Tony Rocky Horror thrown out of a four story window?

First time in LA, I was hoping the restaurant in the movie with the amazing $5 milk shake is somewhere near Los Angeles. No idea what its called, is it even real?

Thanks!

"On a balmy September afternoon in Atwater Village, an art department crew takes measurements at an automotive shop at the corner of Fletcher Drive and Atwater Avenue. It’s a familiar scene for production designer David Wasco, set decorator Sandy Reynolds-Wasco, and location manager Bob Craft as they observe from a blue picnic table across the street at Fosters Freeze."

Does anyone know what the cartoon on Lance's T-shirt is? It's been really bugging me. Thanks! - Goops1071

Does anyone know what type of guns Vincent and Jules used in the Pulp Fiction movie?

The girl [Honey Bunny] in the robbery says: "any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every mother fucking last one of you"- at the start of the movie.

But at the end of the movie when the scene is revisited from Vincent and Jules' point of view, she says, "any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute everyone of you mother fuckers".

Either she improvised the line, messed up the line, or it was intentional.
