The Inspiration For Pulp Fiction

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

What dorky t-shirt is Jules wearing?

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

Were the Pulp Fiction bullet holes already there?

In "the Bonnie Situation" just before dude fires 6 shots at Vincent and Jules, if u look over their shoulders, the bullet holes are already there. Was that done intentionally?

Thanks, Glen

What is "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.

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).

Samuel L. Jackson on Pulp Fiction and Quentin Tarantino

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

Clint Eastwood On PULP FICTION and the Cannes Palme d'or

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).

Mr Wolf's First Scene

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?

Jack Rabbit Slims

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!

Multiple Pricks Error in Pulp Fiction?

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.

Jules' Red and Black Board Shorts/Swim Trunks

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!
