I love how Vincent goes "Man I just shot Marvin in the face," with the expression of the same casual annoyance one might have after dropping their cup of coffee.
For those who aren’t aware, Vincent and Wallace were both in Butch’s apartment. When Butch was making noise, Vincent thought Wallace was back from getting coffee and donuts. That’s why Wallace was on-scene when Butch mowed him down, holding the box of donuts.
That scene bothered me a little. They were obviously there for a little while. Possibly all night, since Wallace stepped out for donuts. They should have figured out that Butch packed up and boogied.
Lol.. this is such an honest reaction.. . this is definitely her first time seeing this landmark piece of film history.. ..either that or she is the greatest actress I've ever seen.. ..this was fun.. ..let's do it again sometime..
Uma Thurman was so worried about dancing on film with Travolta that she had an anxiety attack before the dance scene. Travolta let her take the lead and toned it down so she would get comfortable. This is also where the idea for Kill Bill was formed as Uma told Tarantino she'd love to make a samurai movie with him. So they took some of cues from Mia's TV pilot background as the basis for Kill Bill. Once you get down the Tarantino rabbit hole you'll realize that his films basically all take place in their own universe. I actually prefer to think of it as an alternate reality that is very similar, but not identical, to ours.
I had a friend that went blackface to a Halloween party as Jules and his wife was Mia with a syringe jutting out of her chest. It was pretty good. This was way before Eric's Dad!
@@edittheworld-ct5yu Sorry, but that was stupid. The correct partner would have been Vincent, not Jules. Did he just want to put that paint on because he liked Jules more?
"The truth is, you're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men." That gives me chills every time I see it. A lot of reactors cut that out of their edit for some reason, so thanks for leaving it in. You really should watch it again. This is a movie you can rewatch a few times and pick up on a bunch of stuff you missed each time.
Travolta had basically disappeared before being cast by Tarantino here. The dance scene was an epic moment in theatres, complete with cheers and fists punping theatre-wide! I saw this film 3 days in a row from opening day. In LA twice and then Vegas. The audience was going crazy at all 3 shows. We all knew we were witnessing movie history.
Visiting my son in LA he took me to lunch at this restaurant & waited for it to hit. We're both Quentin Tarantino fans, & when it did sink in, it about gave me a heart attack. Felt like I had entered another universe. This movie's impact was huge, both for the actors involved in making it & the public viewing the film.
It is absolutely worth a 2nd or 3rd time viewing. The first viewing for everyone is rather disjointed, off putting, shocking, or just overall a little nuts. But there a lot of subtle nuances that appear when watching it multiple times, which is why it’s such a cult Classic. Anyway great reaction as always.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask
Gen Zers have no idea how much this movie affected cinema. We'd never seen anything like it. Movies weren't that talky before PF. Pulp is QT's best work by a mile. A masterpiece and one of the best films based in LA.
I remember going in blind to the movie theater at around 25 years old and coming out into what seemed like a different world. Wasn't ready for what I was about to experience but what a hell of a ride.
Tarantino's style is a throwback to earlier film making. Go watch some older Hollywood detective stories such as Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man. They were very dialogue intensive.
Well if you take the logical chain further and assume the suitcase *does* contain an N-word pass, that would certainly explain a white man looking at it and saying "It's beautiful"... and also why a bunch of white people tried to double-cross Marsellus for it 🤣 On a more serious note, I actually found the use of the word kind of interesting throughout the whole movie. I know this sounds like retrospective rationalising - especially since I'm also white - but its use by the Jimmy character doesn't feel as though it was intended to be racist per se. Jimmy clearly used to be wrapped up in the gangster world (before he got married, probably), and at multiple points in the movie both Marsellus and Jules also use the word specifically to refer to white people. The way Marsellus and his associates use the word really suggests that for them it's more like it marks an association with Marsellus's crew regardless of race. Of course, Zed and Maynard are an _entirely_ different goddamn story.
@@rhonafenwick5643 the first part of this comment also explains why Marvin was the only survivor as that's how Marcellus knew it was here lol But to the second part of that comment. I agree with all of what you said but I do want to also add Jimmy is married to Bonnie (who is also black) so it could be that or it could be he just knows Jewles from childhood and got used to saying the nword and maybe his wife let's him with friends lol
I truly love Addie's reactions to films like this. A film that came out close to 30 years ago that changed the landscape of dialogue and filmmaking as a whole and it's still Tarantino's SECOND film I personally love this film but I can acknowledge he has definitely grown and mastered his craft since this film but this shows his distinct voice that will grow in vocabulary, dialects, and languages. Many have copied but none have duplicated.
I remember being a fan of the song 'Scooby Snacks' by Fun Lovin' Criminals, and had not seen either of the Quentin Tarantino movies quoted in that song: 2:36
The dance moves became one of those iconic movie scenes, especially as Travolta was known mostly only for his role in Saturday Night / Staying Alive. A detail often missed is that MIa and Vincent actually did not win. When Butch walks by the apartments to get his watch the next day, you can hear some radio news that after the contest the award had been stolen … And the discontinued storytelling also became a trademark of Quentin Tarantino's movies.
lmfao. I've seen this movie a hundred times, at least, and just went back and rewatched that scene and I've NEVER noticed that throwaway line. That's fucking funny
I had to explain to my wife of the time why the dance moves were so bizarrely choreographed. Vincent was cruising with Mr. Heroin all mellow. Mia was coked out to the gills. Greatest dance pair ever in a movie. I never realized they lost ROFL
@@-Devy- How about "discontinuous storytelling" or do you have a better proposal? I think most people understood what was meant. Greetings from Germany.
This movie is Tarantino at his prime. Basically every setup has a payoff, it’s such a tightly knitted script and story that’s played to perfection. The rewatch ability of this movie shouldn’t be understated, it’s from an era of movies we don’t really get anymore.
The failed Fox Force Five pilot got optioned up a few years later, while they were adapting it Mia's character became the hero and the rest of her crew became the villains, and that's how Kill Bill became a thing (at least that's how it happened in the Tarantinoverse)
Hi Addie. This is considered John Travolta s comeback movie, its the movie that resurrected his career. About the foot conversation, yeah Tarantino had a footfetish. Lmao at the Christopher Walken convo, cause you're not expecting it. I remember the first time I saw this with my cousins it caught us off guard Your expressions and responses are making this reaction.
He had a very successful "Look Who's Talking" trilogy that ended the year before Pulp Fiction. They also said Urban Cowboy was his comeback movie from Staying Alive, etc etc
This movie was WILD for me the first time I saw it as well. My friends and I couldn't stop talking about it. Just wait until you watch it once or twice more and start noticing and unpacking little things. This movie is a maze for the mind.
Note that right before the twist contest, Mia said "I want that trophy", but we never saw them actually win the contest. There was a deleted subplot that indicated (without saying explicitly) that they stole the trophy and ran off because Mia wanted to do something impulsive and childish.
Let's give Addie a round of applause for surviving Pulp Fiction (1994). 👏👏 I'm so glad that you were able to make it through this movie, despite feeling on-edge. IMO, I would DEFINITELY rewatch this movie. This is one of my favorite Tarantino movies because it was his first to be Filmed in Panavision (anamorphic) by Andrzej Sekula. I also have a t-shirt of the movie that I bought at a department store in South Korea, back in July 2016. And yes, that's Tarantino, at 34:08. He plays Jimmie Dimmick in the movie. BTW, I do hope that you'll also watch a light-hearted movie on your channel as a palette cleanse afterwards.
I even enjoyed the second and third sequences of the movie because of Samuel L. Jackson's performance in the former, especially when he ate the Big Kahuna Burger & drank Sprite to go with it as well as when he recited Ezekiel 25:17, and the Jack Rabbit slims scene in the latter, as well as Vincent having to take Mia to Lance's to give her an adrenaline shot after Mia OD'd. If a Big Mac is call Le Big Mac in France then a Whopper is called Le Whopper there. Here's the sequential order of the movie as follows: 4a, 2, 6, 1, 7, 3, 4b, 5. Uma Thurman & Maria de Medeiros were also in Henry & June (1990), the first NC-17 rated movie. Unfortunately, that movie, like True Lies (1994), is unavailable to stream.
Speaking of John Travolta, who plays Vincent Vega, I also suggest Broken Arrow (1996) & Face/Off (1997), both directed by John Woo, whose movies Travolta was introduced to by QT, as well as The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009), directed by Tony Scott, director of True Romance (1993), which QT wrote. #MoreJohnTravoltaForAddieCounts Speaking of Ving Rhames, who plays Marsellus Wallace, I also suggest Mission: Impossible (1996) & Con Air (1997, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer). #MoreVingRhamesForAddieCounts Speaking of Peter Greene, who plays Zed, I also suggest The Mask (1994) with Jim Carrey & Cameron Diaz. #MorePeterGreeneForAddieCounts Other intense movies that I would love to see you watch are Mean Streets (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), Casino (1995), Gangs of New York (2002), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and The Irishman (2019), all directed by Martin Scorsese. #MoreIntenseMoviesForAddieCounts
"I don't think I'm supposed to be laughing this much, but I just really love Samuel L. Jackson!" Addie, honey, trust me, even though that scene is supposed to be super-serious, I laugh JUST AS HARD as you are laughing every time I watch that scene!
I saw it in the theatre OG. There was a spontaneous burst of laughter after Vincent shoots Marvin. I think it was guilty because there was a shocked pause, heard one guffaw, then everyone else joined in. Lol
Also, note that Vincent is in the bathroom in multiple scenes as major things are happening. It even got him killed in Butch’s apartment. This is a call-back to him being a heroine user. Opioids have a negative effect on the gut biome, often leading to bloat, constipation and leaky gut.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy sometimes it takes actors a while until they either hit their stride or that PERFECT part comes along or someone sees that they have IT and gives them their big chance.
Great movie reaction! You were pretty wide-eyed throughout the movie. Cute! Great movie I Luv the way it's cut and it has a great cast! Best part for me was Christopher Walken's speech. 😂 He delivered it so seriously! 😅 Luv ya Addie ❤ looking forward to the next movie! ❤💛
I enjoy watching the "wholesome" movie reactors try to digest Pulp Fiction out of a sort of schadenfreude I think. This is definitely not a sunshine and rainbows experience.
Thanks for reacting to this, Addie. It's such an iconic movie. The first time I watched it I was kind of put off by the way it jumped around in time and had me a bit confused. I actually enjoyed it more watching it again when I understood the timeline and it made more sense to me. Tarantino is a master at mixing "casual" conversation with brutal violence. He combines humor and intensity so well.
Fun fact: You made a reaction video for Captain America The Winter Soldier. The Bible passage on Nick Fury's gravestone is the same one he quotes throughout this movie.
@@MorlokKurak777- Actually, only the last line Jules quotes is Ezekiel 25:17, and it’s pretty close to what it says. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
This and Lost in Translation are my fav movies of all time, for different reasons. It was so awesome to watch this at theatres when it showed again around 2016 here in Brazil. Incredible how Tarantino uses so much action, but are the dialogues that actually keep you on edge the whole time. It's cinematic perfection right there.
😎👍 Strange, but interesting trivia: Every single major actor in this film went on to voice an iconic animated character in an iconic animated movie. John Travolta (Bolt), Samuel L. Jackson (The Incredibles), Bruce Willis (Over The Hedge), Christopher Walken (Antz), Ving Rhames (Lilo & Stitch), Steve Buscemi (Monsters Inc), Eric Stoltz and Amanda Plummer (Hercules) and the list just goes on and on.
So, in the Pawn shop, Butch goes upstairs and gets the pawnbrokers keys, which he uses to unlock the door. His mind is on Tennessee and escaping with his life, represented by the flag and the license plates behind him. But then he reflects on saving Marsellus, and chooses to back down, descending into a lower level of Hell. This act allows him to save Marsellus, thereby getting the mark off of his head, letting him leave Los Angeles, the city of Angels. While he is downstairs, he is able to get the keys from Zedd, which includes the key to the chopper. The chopper has a name, Grace. Butch escaped Hell, went back, and rode off with his woman, saved on the wings of Grace.
Addie that was an enjoyable reaction. Your facial expressions are priceless/adorable. It strange how there's no true good guys in this movie, but perhaps now that Jules is retiring from crime. Maybe he will become the good guy/Shepherd on his new journey traveling the world? Remember in his speech to Ringo at the end Jules said "I'm the tyranny of evil men, but I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd" Very happy that sicko lunatic Zed and his friend get killed. A weird/mysterious character in the movie is the taxi driver Esmarelda. Addie you clearly noticed that Esmarelda looked very excited when she asked Butch what it was like to kill a man. She's likely a psychopath. I wouldn't be suprised if her character later became a serial killer. Which would definitely fit into the strange world of this movie.
A fitting quote for this movie: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
Addie, you are very entertaining. I really enjoyed your reaction, especially since I have watched you several times before. The anticipation about you was worth it!
My dad took me to see this on my 11th birthday. I didn't pick it, he was like "I heard good things boy, we're going to the movies." I again want to recommend Jackie Brown, so good.
I love when ppl react to this movie, I saw it when it came out with my whole family because my cousin is peter greene who played zed..... we had no clue what his role was
Great reaction. One of the greatest films ever made (top 3 for me in Tarantino's cannon). Great cast, fantastic script and wonderful directing. The film influenced cinema to this day. Two points I would make is - 1) Sam Jackson's Bible quote is not a quote, more a paraphrase; and 2) No one knows what is in the case. Yes there are theories by fans, and Tarantino to this day has not revealed it, mainly because it's not important. I remember reading one interview where he said that many of the theories are BETTER then he would have come up with though 🙂
Yeah the suitcase case is famously a McGuffin, a phrase coined by Hitchcock. It means something there solely to further the plot. Much like the actual "dingus" in The Maltese Falcon.
Addie, even though Pulp Fiction may not be one you want to revisit (though it’d be worth it), definitely check out the rest of Tarantino’s work. His love of cinema radiates through every frame. His next film, Jackie Brown (1997), is his most underrated but also his most mature. I think you’d like it.
13:49 “and that seemed reasonable? No it seemed excessive but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Lol, given the previous convo that exchange was hilarious
This movie was such a cultural milestone, I was a big Grand Theft Auto nerd when i was younger and i remember seeing the all the easter eggs in Vice City even before i saw this movie
"I feel like much if this movie I was jut in shock". That's Tarantino in a nutshell. I'm not a big fan of his movie style, but he has a great taste in music. The music provides every scene with different elements, from ambiance to context. He chooses music for every scene I would not think of, but always works perfectly.
"I gotta stab her three times?!" 🤣🤣🤣 The overdose scene is great. Everyone is at 11, Uma has to just lay there 😵, and it's dark comedy from start to finish.
I love how he worked the Batusi into his dance. The Batusi is a dance created for the Batman TV show from the 60's that was a play on the, then, popular dance the Watusi. 🤣
My favorite part of the movie is Vincent talking to himself in the bathroom at Marsellus' house. That man is picking up some serious vibes off of Mia and he is talking himself down from sending out any vibes of his own, because he does NOT trust himself to behave if she makes the first move.
"I don't think Buddy Holly was much of a waiter". Mr Pink(in Reservoir Dogs) was against the obligation of tipping waiter's. Both played by Steve Buscemi.
The timeline actually begins with little Butch getting the watch and ends with Butch and Fabienne riding off on the chopper. One of my all time favorite films. My number 1 would be Casablanca. But that's just me. We all have our opinions. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
What’s beautiful about this movie is Jules decides to make a life changing decision and if Vince had listened to him, he’d still be alive. That’s why Jules was not in the apartment and Vince was. So many people in life wish they saw a sign or got some help and never realizes help came many times and in different forms but failed to see it. Without wisdom there is no gain.
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏.

I saw this at a sneak preview with a friend and his wife who invited me and when Vincent got shot I leaned over and stage-whispered to him, "Dude there's gonna be a riot; they got the reels out of order!" :d One of my fave films with such a powerhouse cast and Tarantino's masterpiece to date. And now all I want to do is give you a foot massage Ads ;D xoxo
Its so funny how this girl became so tense after the whole Marcellus basement situation. There is not a single moment after that chapter where she is relaxed
You say this isn't a film you'll watch again, which might be true. But just wait. See how you feel the next time you're talking to a friend or family member that hasn't seen this movie yet and it comes up. You might find a strong urge to want to see this again with them :D
A bit of an easter egg of sorts here. The proverb he says here does not exist in the bible but was created specifically for this character. The same passage can be seen on Nick Fury's tombstone at the end of Captain America Winter Soldier since SLJ also played Fury. Love that the Russo's did that.
Only the last line is from the Bible, mostly. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
One great thing I love about the non-linear storytelling of this film is that in the last scene with Jules is that Vincent was by himself when he died. So the audience is wondering where is Jules? What happened to him? The last scene can imply that Jules died in this altercation before we see it. So we the audience know this can end only bloody but it ends on a man realizing that if he still follows this path he'll die the way Vincent dies eventually and he's giving a chance to offer that same chance to a low level robber to follow that path for a better life.
The dialog is profoundly genius. This movie is always in the top 25 movies ever, and on the 100 movies you should watch before you die list. It's actually extremely rewatchable. In fact, when you re-watch it, you start to realize just how epic the dialog is. This movie really made Tarantino's career, It was, thus far, his best (IMO). I also love his other work, but this just had a certain perfection to it. I'm also a fan of Kill Bill and Django Unchained. His other stuff (Hateful Eight, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs) is also excellent, but they aren't close to those three for me. I haven't seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet, but would like to. Several points worth mentioning: -This rebooted Travolta's career. He also asked to change the dialog in the car when he shot Marvin in the face to come off more sociopathic by not accepting the blame. -Vincent was always going to the bathroom because heroin abuse tends to cause constipation. This was a detail they didn't miss. -When Vincent stabbed Mia in the chest with the needle, the drug dealer's wife was getting off on it. Pay attention to her reaction and you can tell she's excited. This matches her previous conversation indicating that she has a thing for needles.
The key moment for me is when Vincent offends Butch, calling him punchy (washed up...past it)...the look on Butch's face says his pride is stinging and I believe that was the seed for him to cross Marcellus. Vincent set his own demise 😉
Not many people know that Christopher Walken was not part of this film. One day he just walked into the set and started to talk to this kid about a watch that was in some guys butt through the war. And then he just left. Tarantino thought it was amazing so he kept it in the film and build a small story around the watch.
"If he had not gone back for the watch, none of this would have happened." Ah, but then he'd be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, waiting for someone to kill him.
The BEGINNING of the story was Vincent and Juelz showing up to get the case and murder Brad's crew. Juelz witnesses divine intervention, and decides it was a miracle. They leave, 'accidentally' blow off Marvin's head, meet Jimmy and meet 'The Wolf', and the Wolf helps them clean the car and dispose of the body, car, and evidence. Then Juelz and Vincent go for breakfast. The MIDDLE is the diner scene, (before Juelz retires, and before Vince met Butch, and took Mia on a date). This is where Juelz decides to retire for sure and let 'Ringo and Honey Bunny' go. Then they leave to go to Marcellus' club/ bar. They show up to deliver the Case(which is the missing jewels from the Reservoir Dogs heist) to Marcellus. Juelz tells Marcellus he is done, Vincent is upset with Juelz decision, and then he meets Butch, buying Red Apples (After we learn Butch is supposed to take a fall in a boxing match) and instantly Vincent had a problem with Butch. This is after Marcellus and Butch make the deal, so Marcellus calls Vincent over to cool the situation (because Vincent kills people lol). Marcellus leaves, Juelz and Vincent go on their separate ways, and Butch sets up his bets, then Vincent has his date with Mia, and all hell broke loose. The next day is the fight, and the END of the story is towards the middle of the movie (when Bruce Willis leaves on the chopper with his girl)... END*** 'Vince is dead, after him and Juelz cleaned up Marvin, and then he met Butch at the club before Butch's fight... after the fight Mia thanked Vincent for dinner. The diner scene/robbery already happened. And Juelz was retired, so Marcellus went with Vince to Butch's apartment. Marcellus was hungry and Vincent had to shit. Marcellus left to get breakfast, Butch then showed up while Vince was taking the Browns to the Superbowl. That's why Butch came across Marcellus, right after shooting Vincent, and their whole interaction happened "MotherF*ker". Marcellus had been waiting on him all morning, and didn't think he'd show up there. So he couldn't believe when Butch pulled up at a stop light, while he was holding doughnuts. Then all hell brakes loose again, Butch ended up saving Marcellus, and Marcellus decides to let Butch go. Butch takes Zed's chopper, went and picked up his girl, and rode off in the sunset to get his fortune... THE END
- Hunny Bunny and Ringo were having breakfast. - Bret was having breakfast when Jules and Vincent came. - Fabiene wanted to have breakfast with Butch. - Butch decided to have a little breakfast in his apartment. - Vincent and Jules went for breakfast after the Bonnie Situation.
I'm still wondering how the hell Tarantino managed to get his hands on a box of Frute Brute, given that General Mills discontinued it in '82. Was it a limited edition release or something? 🤔
My favorite thing about the movie is that all of Vincent's problems stem from his opiate addiction. He shoots Marvin in the face because of muscle spasms caused by it. Mia overdoses after mistaking his heroin for cocaine. And he's chronically constipated, which is why he's always going to the bathroom, so Butch is able to easily kill him. Also, I've always wondered if Marcellus would've let Butch go if he'd known that he killed Vincent.
I love how Vincent goes "Man I just shot Marvin in the face," with the expression of the same casual annoyance one might have after dropping their cup of coffee.
You GOTTA have an opinion
And afterward he looks like a naughty schoolboy who's just been called to the principle's office
He has the audacity to call it an accident when his finger is on the trigger. No accidents with guns, only negligence.
Apparently that line was semi-adlibbed, the "in the face" part at least, the delivery is perfect!
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. And I wasn't just quoting one of Samual Jackson's line in that movie, I really thought the same thing.
"I'm gonna get medieval on your ass". Still one of the best lines ever.
Legit one of the most terrifying threats ever delivered in cinema. Brilliant
walken’s delivery of the watch monologue is perfect comedy
"He died of dysentery... I wear this uncomfortable hunk of metal in my ass..."
🤣🤣🤣 Captain Koontz is lucky he didn't catch dysentery as well 😅
He's an absolute treasure
It's weird how people see things differently.
I skip this scene every time. I find it long winded and boring.
"If I could save time in a b*tth0le..." - Jim Croce
So funny 🤣😂
“I’m American honey… Our names don’t mean shit.”
Virtually every line in this movie is quotable
One of my favorite quotes for sure!
For those who aren’t aware, Vincent and Wallace were both in Butch’s apartment. When Butch was making noise, Vincent thought Wallace was back from getting coffee and donuts. That’s why Wallace was on-scene when Butch mowed him down, holding the box of donuts.
Ahhhh shit I never knew that, thanks for that
That scene bothered me a little. They were obviously there for a little while. Possibly all night, since Wallace stepped out for donuts. They should have figured out that Butch packed up and boogied.
Wallace being there is also a result of Jules quitting. Had he not quit, Vincent would have gone there with Jules, but Marcellus had to step in.

Imagine how intense this was when it came out 30 years ago. We had NEVER seen anything like it.
Well, Reservoir Dogs was kind of like it but it was no where near the instant viral success of Pulp Fiction.
Well, besides all of the movies that Tarantino "borrowed" from to make it.
Reservoir Dogs was first and better IMO.

A Halloween costume of Mia, with the hypodermic sticking out of her chest, would make a pretty good costume.
Yeah, when she said she want to be her for Halloween, I already thought … before or after?
(And who's doing Vincent…?)
@@Cau_No Jeremy (Addie's boyfriend) can do Vincent for Halloween.
And it has, a billion times by now
I had a friend that went blackface to a Halloween party as Jules and his wife was Mia with a syringe jutting out of her chest. It was pretty good. This was way before Eric's Dad!
@@edittheworld-ct5yu Sorry, but that was stupid. The correct partner would have been Vincent, not Jules. Did he just want to put that paint on because he liked Jules more?
"The truth is, you're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men." That gives me chills every time I see it. A lot of reactors cut that out of their edit for some reason, so thanks for leaving it in.
You really should watch it again. This is a movie you can rewatch a few times and pick up on a bunch of stuff you missed each time.
Samuel L Jackson is so powerful in that scene. Every time I watch it I am more impressed.
Travolta had basically disappeared before being cast by Tarantino here. The dance scene was an epic moment in theatres, complete with cheers and fists punping theatre-wide! I saw this film 3 days in a row from opening day. In LA twice and then Vegas. The audience was going crazy at all 3 shows. We all knew we were witnessing movie history.
"Aw, man. I shot Marvin in the face." One of the funniest lines in cinema history.
I always laugh when Butch says "I had to crash that Honda"
I feel she's way too innocent for this movie. Her favlcial expressions though 🤣
Visiting my son in LA he took me to lunch at this restaurant & waited for it to hit. We're both Quentin Tarantino fans, & when it did sink in, it about gave me a heart attack. Felt like I had entered another universe. This movie's impact was huge, both for the actors involved in making it & the public viewing the film.

It is absolutely worth a 2nd or 3rd time viewing. The first viewing for everyone is rather disjointed, off putting, shocking, or just overall a little nuts. But there a lot of subtle nuances that appear when watching it multiple times, which is why it’s such a cult Classic. Anyway great reaction as always.

Gen Zers have no idea how much this movie affected cinema. We'd never seen anything like it. Movies weren't that talky before PF. Pulp is QT's best work by a mile. A masterpiece and one of the best films based in LA.
I remember going in blind to the movie theater at around 25 years old and coming out into what seemed like a different world. Wasn't ready for what I was about to experience but what a hell of a ride.
@@jonmayer5206 100%
Tarantino's style is a throwback to earlier film making. Go watch some older Hollywood detective stories such as Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man. They were very dialogue intensive.
@@donpietruk1517 I'm very familiar with those films and you are correct.
Not like Pulp, man. And certainly not with that kind of dialogue. @randywhite3947
We never find out what is actually in the case, but I always thought it was QT's n-word pass. The only legit one that exists in the world.
Well if you take the logical chain further and assume the suitcase *does* contain an N-word pass, that would certainly explain a white man looking at it and saying "It's beautiful"... and also why a bunch of white people tried to double-cross Marsellus for it 🤣
On a more serious note, I actually found the use of the word kind of interesting throughout the whole movie. I know this sounds like retrospective rationalising - especially since I'm also white - but its use by the Jimmy character doesn't feel as though it was intended to be racist per se. Jimmy clearly used to be wrapped up in the gangster world (before he got married, probably), and at multiple points in the movie both Marsellus and Jules also use the word specifically to refer to white people. The way Marsellus and his associates use the word really suggests that for them it's more like it marks an association with Marsellus's crew regardless of race. Of course, Zed and Maynard are an _entirely_ different goddamn story.
@@rhonafenwick5643 the first part of this comment also explains why Marvin was the only survivor as that's how Marcellus knew it was here lol
But to the second part of that comment. I agree with all of what you said but I do want to also add Jimmy is married to Bonnie (who is also black) so it could be that or it could be he just knows Jewles from childhood and got used to saying the nword and maybe his wife let's him with friends lol
it's supposed to be Marsellus' soul. That's why he had the bandaid on his neck. In folklore, the devil would suck someone's soul out from there.
I truly love Addie's reactions to films like this. A film that came out close to 30 years ago that changed the landscape of dialogue and filmmaking as a whole and it's still Tarantino's SECOND film I personally love this film but I can acknowledge he has definitely grown and mastered his craft since this film but this shows his distinct voice that will grow in vocabulary, dialects, and languages.
Many have copied but none have duplicated.
32:25 holes are allready in the wal 😁
"I need to breathe through this scene" pretty much encapsulates how most of us felt seeing this on the big screen in '94.
3:39 that sums up Pulp Fiction perfectly. “What are they about to do? They were so casual in the car!” 😂😂
I remember being a fan of the song 'Scooby Snacks' by Fun Lovin' Criminals, and had not seen either of the Quentin Tarantino movies quoted in that song: 2:36
The dance moves became one of those iconic movie scenes, especially as Travolta was known mostly only for his role in Saturday Night / Staying Alive.
A detail often missed is that MIa and Vincent actually did not win. When Butch walks by the apartments to get his watch the next day, you can hear some radio news that after the contest the award had been stolen …
And the discontinued storytelling also became a trademark of Quentin Tarantino's movies.
lmfao. I've seen this movie a hundred times, at least, and just went back and rewatched that scene and I've NEVER noticed that throwaway line. That's fucking funny
I had to explain to my wife of the time why the dance moves were so bizarrely choreographed. Vincent was cruising with Mr. Heroin all mellow. Mia was coked out to the gills. Greatest dance pair ever in a movie. I never realized they lost ROFL
If you listen carefully you can hear the news report on the car radio explaining the trophy had been stolen.
I don't think you understand what "discontinued" means.
@@-Devy- How about "discontinuous storytelling" or do you have a better proposal?
I think most people understood what was meant. Greetings from Germany.
This movie is Tarantino at his prime. Basically every setup has a payoff, it’s such a tightly knitted script and story that’s played to perfection. The rewatch ability of this movie shouldn’t be understated, it’s from an era of movies we don’t really get anymore.
The failed Fox Force Five pilot got optioned up a few years later, while they were adapting it Mia's character became the hero and the rest of her crew became the villains, and that's how Kill Bill became a thing (at least that's how it happened in the Tarantinoverse)
Hi Addie.
This is considered John Travolta s comeback movie, its the movie that resurrected his career.
About the foot conversation, yeah Tarantino had a footfetish.
Lmao at the Christopher Walken convo, cause you're not expecting it. I remember the first time I saw this with my cousins it caught us off guard
Your expressions and responses are making this reaction.
For peak Tarantino foot fetish she needs to watch From Dusk Till Dawn.
Tarantino *has* a footfetish. That shit def never went away lmao
@tomkenny5012 🤣 he's feet 4life .
@@Ootlander Right, I was thinking about that one. Yes she should check it out
He had a very successful "Look Who's Talking" trilogy that ended the year before Pulp Fiction. They also said Urban Cowboy was his comeback movie from Staying Alive, etc etc
This movie was WILD for me the first time I saw it as well. My friends and I couldn't stop talking about it. Just wait until you watch it once or twice more and start noticing and unpacking little things. This movie is a maze for the mind.
I always get a grin on my face when I see "The Bonnie Situation" pop-up for first time watchers.
Funniest line in the whole movie...
"You read the bible Ringo?"
"Not lately, no."
LMAO.
Note that right before the twist contest, Mia said "I want that trophy", but we never saw them actually win the contest. There was a deleted subplot that indicated (without saying explicitly) that they stole the trophy and ran off because Mia wanted to do something impulsive and childish.
It's in the movie still - you hear a local news report in the background of one of the scenes saying the trophy was tolen
as Butch is sneaking to his apt. an open window has the radio on
Let's give Addie a round of applause for surviving Pulp Fiction (1994). 👏👏 I'm so glad that you were able to make it through this movie, despite feeling on-edge. IMO, I would DEFINITELY rewatch this movie. This is one of my favorite Tarantino movies because it was his first to be Filmed in Panavision (anamorphic) by Andrzej Sekula. I also have a t-shirt of the movie that I bought at a department store in South Korea, back in July 2016. And yes, that's Tarantino, at 34:08. He plays Jimmie Dimmick in the movie. BTW, I do hope that you'll also watch a light-hearted movie on your channel as a palette cleanse afterwards.
I even enjoyed the second and third sequences of the movie because of Samuel L. Jackson's performance in the former, especially when he ate the Big Kahuna Burger & drank Sprite to go with it as well as when he recited Ezekiel 25:17, and the Jack Rabbit slims scene in the latter, as well as Vincent having to take Mia to Lance's to give her an adrenaline shot after Mia OD'd.
If a Big Mac is call Le Big Mac in France then a Whopper is called Le Whopper there.
Here's the sequential order of the movie as follows: 4a, 2, 6, 1, 7, 3, 4b, 5.
Uma Thurman & Maria de Medeiros were also in Henry & June (1990), the first NC-17 rated movie. Unfortunately, that movie, like True Lies (1994), is unavailable to stream.
Speaking of John Travolta, who plays Vincent Vega, I also suggest Broken Arrow (1996) & Face/Off (1997), both directed by John Woo, whose movies Travolta was introduced to by QT, as well as The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009), directed by Tony Scott, director of True Romance (1993), which QT wrote. #MoreJohnTravoltaForAddieCounts
Speaking of Ving Rhames, who plays Marsellus Wallace, I also suggest Mission: Impossible (1996) & Con Air (1997, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer). #MoreVingRhamesForAddieCounts
Speaking of Peter Greene, who plays Zed, I also suggest The Mask (1994) with Jim Carrey & Cameron Diaz. #MorePeterGreeneForAddieCounts
Other intense movies that I would love to see you watch are Mean Streets (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), Casino (1995), Gangs of New York (2002), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and The Irishman (2019), all directed by Martin Scorsese. #MoreIntenseMoviesForAddieCounts
"I don't think I'm supposed to be laughing this much, but I just really love Samuel L. Jackson!" Addie, honey, trust me, even though that scene is supposed to be super-serious, I laugh JUST AS HARD as you are laughing every time I watch that scene!
I saw it in the theatre OG. There was a spontaneous burst of laughter after Vincent shoots Marvin. I think it was guilty because there was a shocked pause, heard one guffaw, then everyone else joined in. Lol
'Thank god I'm John Travolta' ...thought Vincent at the dance. :)
Tony said Danny
Also, note that Vincent is in the bathroom in multiple scenes as major things are happening. It even got him killed in Butch’s apartment. This is a call-back to him being a heroine user. Opioids have a negative effect on the gut biome, often leading to bloat, constipation and leaky gut.
The film that made Samuel L. Jackson a freaking star! Fun fact: the waiter Buddy was Steve Buscemi.
The fact it didn't happen for him until he was in his 40's is a little criminal, though.

It's John Travolta. Asking if his character can dance is like asking if any of Tom Cruise's characters know how to run. 😆
Of all the reactions I've seen of Pulp Fiction, this one might be my favorite 😂
Great movie reaction! You were pretty wide-eyed throughout the movie. Cute! Great movie I Luv the way it's cut and it has a great cast! Best part for me was Christopher Walken's speech. 😂 He delivered it so seriously! 😅 Luv ya Addie ❤ looking forward to the next movie! ❤💛
I enjoy watching the "wholesome" movie reactors try to digest Pulp Fiction out of a sort of schadenfreude I think. This is definitely not a sunshine and rainbows experience.
Any dark/heavy/gut-wrenching/terrifying/etc. movie, really.
The only sunshine and rainbows in the entire Pulp Fiction world are kept in Marsellus's suitcase.
Thanks for reacting to this, Addie. It's such an iconic movie. The first time I watched it I was kind of put off by the way it jumped around in time and had me a bit confused. I actually enjoyed it more watching it again when I understood the timeline and it made more sense to me.
Tarantino is a master at mixing "casual" conversation with brutal violence. He combines humor and intensity so well.
Fun fact: You made a reaction video for Captain America The Winter Soldier. The Bible passage on Nick Fury's gravestone is the same one he quotes throughout this movie.
Mis-quotes actually. Do you have a Bible? Look it up. 😁
@@MorlokKurak777- Actually, only the last line Jules quotes is Ezekiel 25:17, and it’s pretty close to what it says.
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
This and Lost in Translation are my fav movies of all time, for different reasons. It was so awesome to watch this at theatres when it showed again around 2016 here in Brazil. Incredible how Tarantino uses so much action, but are the dialogues that actually keep you on edge the whole time. It's cinematic perfection right there.
😎👍 Strange, but interesting trivia: Every single major actor in this film went on to voice an iconic animated character in an iconic animated movie. John Travolta (Bolt), Samuel L. Jackson (The Incredibles), Bruce Willis (Over The Hedge), Christopher Walken (Antz), Ving Rhames (Lilo & Stitch), Steve Buscemi (Monsters Inc), Eric Stoltz and Amanda Plummer (Hercules) and the list just goes on and on.
Christopher Walken's telling of the watch story is compelling because he does it so casually.
"Buddy" is Steve Buscemi in make up.
Some say he is Mr Pink from reservoir dogs who is working as a waiter waiting for the heat to cool off
Up to this day my favorite movie of all time. Glad I grew up with this classy masterpiece. 🥰 So, Kill Bill next please! 😇
"Glad I grew up with this classy masterpiece" is one of the goofiest things I've ever heard.
@@aerthreepwood8021 thanks for your great comment
So, in the Pawn shop, Butch goes upstairs and gets the pawnbrokers keys, which he uses to unlock the door. His mind is on Tennessee and escaping with his life, represented by the flag and the license plates behind him.
But then he reflects on saving Marsellus, and chooses to back down, descending into a lower level of Hell. This act allows him to save Marsellus, thereby getting the mark off of his head, letting him leave Los Angeles, the city of Angels. While he is downstairs, he is able to get the keys from Zedd, which includes the key to the chopper. The chopper has a name, Grace.
Butch escaped Hell, went back, and rode off with his woman, saved on the wings of Grace.
"Oh gosh, what's about to happen, next??"
You are...NOT...ready.
Addie that was an enjoyable reaction. Your facial expressions are priceless/adorable.
It strange how there's no true good guys in this movie, but perhaps now that Jules is retiring from crime. Maybe he will become the good guy/Shepherd on his new journey traveling the world? Remember in his speech to Ringo at the end Jules said "I'm the tyranny of evil men, but I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd"
Very happy that sicko lunatic Zed and his friend get killed.
A weird/mysterious character in the movie is the taxi driver Esmarelda. Addie you clearly noticed that Esmarelda looked very excited when she asked Butch what it was like to kill a man.
She's likely a psychopath.
I wouldn't be suprised if her character later became a serial killer. Which would definitely fit into the strange world of this movie.
I agree she has arguably the best facial expressions of any reactor. I'm so glad I discovered her channel in its infancy.
A fitting quote for this movie: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
yeah, Addie, you have great reactions!!!
Addie, you are very entertaining. I really enjoyed your reaction, especially since I have watched you several times before. The anticipation about you was worth it!
There's an Australian Band named 'Yolanda be cool'". Guess where the name comes from.
I love how we're meant to believe they won the trophy until later on a background tv or radio, you hear the trophy was stolen. 😂
My dad took me to see this on my 11th birthday. I didn't pick it, he was like "I heard good things boy, we're going to the movies." I again want to recommend Jackie Brown, so good.
I love when ppl react to this movie, I saw it when it came out with my whole family because my cousin is peter greene who played zed..... we had no clue what his role was
I was 6 or 7
Great reaction. One of the greatest films ever made (top 3 for me in Tarantino's cannon). Great cast, fantastic script and wonderful directing. The film influenced cinema to this day. Two points I would make is - 1) Sam Jackson's Bible quote is not a quote, more a paraphrase; and 2) No one knows what is in the case. Yes there are theories by fans, and Tarantino to this day has not revealed it, mainly because it's not important. I remember reading one interview where he said that many of the theories are BETTER then he would have come up with though 🙂
Yeah the suitcase case is famously a McGuffin, a phrase coined by Hitchcock. It means something there solely to further the plot. Much like the actual "dingus" in The Maltese Falcon.
7:41 THAT'S how you react to good dark comedy!!
Addie, even though Pulp Fiction may not be one you want to revisit (though it’d be worth it), definitely check out the rest of Tarantino’s work. His love of cinema radiates through every frame. His next film, Jackie Brown (1997), is his most underrated but also his most mature. I think you’d like it.
Based on her physical reactions, I don't think she'd be able to handle Django Unchained or The Hateful Eight. 🤣
13:49 “and that seemed reasonable?
No it seemed excessive but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”
Lol, given the previous convo that exchange was hilarious
This movie was such a cultural milestone, I was a big Grand Theft Auto nerd when i was younger and i remember seeing the all the easter eggs in Vice City even before i saw this movie
My favorite Tarantino movie!
Yay!
Addie you seem to be watching some of my favorite movies!! Love it!! The community is killing it
"I feel like much if this movie I was jut in shock". That's Tarantino in a nutshell. I'm not a big fan of his movie style, but he has a great taste in music. The music provides every scene with different elements, from ambiance to context. He chooses music for every scene I would not think of, but always works perfectly.
"I gotta stab her three times?!"
🤣🤣🤣
The overdose scene is great. Everyone is at 11, Uma has to just lay there 😵, and it's dark comedy from start to finish.
Addies war face when those pop tarts popped up 🤣🤣
I love how he worked the Batusi into his dance. The Batusi is a dance created for the Batman TV show from the 60's that was a play on the, then, popular dance the Watusi. 🤣
Holy oldie reference Batman!
“I don’t know if I’m supposed to laugh this much, I just really love Samuel Jackson!” 😂😂 that is the Sam-Jackson Effect to a tee
My favorite part of the movie is Vincent talking to himself in the bathroom at Marsellus' house.
That man is picking up some serious vibes off of Mia and he is talking himself down from sending out any vibes of his own, because he does NOT trust himself to behave if she makes the first move.
"I don't think Buddy Holly was much of a waiter". Mr Pink(in Reservoir Dogs) was against the obligation of tipping waiter's. Both played by Steve Buscemi.
Kudos and mad props to you for taking a big nosedive into the Tarantino equivalent of Tony Montana’s big mountain of coke.
The timeline actually begins with little Butch getting the watch and ends with Butch and Fabienne riding off on the chopper.
One of my all time favorite films. My number 1 would be Casablanca. But that's just me. We all have our opinions.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
What’s beautiful about this movie is Jules decides to make a life changing decision and if Vince had listened to him, he’d still be alive. That’s why Jules was not in the apartment and Vince was. So many people in life wish they saw a sign or got some help and never realizes help came many times and in different forms but failed to see it. Without wisdom there is no gain.
Thank you Addie for all your reactions! As always a great reaction. I hope you´re having a great day. Thanks again! Best regards //M
Every time John Travolta went to the bathroom something bad happened. Mia collapsing, he gets shot and the diner robbery.

"This watch has quite the history."
Oh, just you wait.
I saw this at a sneak preview with a friend and his wife who invited me and when Vincent got shot I leaned over and stage-whispered to him, "Dude there's gonna be a riot; they got the reels out of order!" :d One of my fave films with such a powerhouse cast and Tarantino's masterpiece to date. And now all I want to do is give you a foot massage Ads ;D xoxo
Its so funny how this girl became so tense after the whole Marcellus basement situation.
There is not a single moment after that chapter where she is relaxed
You say this isn't a film you'll watch again, which might be true. But just wait. See how you feel the next time you're talking to a friend or family member that hasn't seen this movie yet and it comes up. You might find a strong urge to want to see this again with them :D
And you won't forget the watch anyway.
yawn
@@jfreitag88 ha this could go on for a while
Yes, Bruce is in this, and his character got a very special watch from his father. :D
"Do you know what he had to go through to get me that watch? I don't have time to go into it, but he went through a lot."
This is one of my favourite movies. You should give Snatch a watch too. It's also multiple threads that cross connect in the film too
A bit of an easter egg of sorts here. The proverb he says here does not exist in the bible but was created specifically for this character. The same passage can be seen on Nick Fury's tombstone at the end of Captain America Winter Soldier since SLJ also played Fury. Love that the Russo's did that.
Only the last line is from the Bible, mostly.
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
One great thing I love about the non-linear storytelling of this film is that in the last scene with Jules is that Vincent was by himself when he died. So the audience is wondering where is Jules? What happened to him? The last scene can imply that Jules died in this altercation before we see it. So we the audience know this can end only bloody but it ends on a man realizing that if he still follows this path he'll die the way Vincent dies eventually and he's giving a chance to offer that same chance to a low level robber to follow that path for a better life.
When I saw she was going to react to pulp fiction, I had to stop and watch. This is going to be pure entertainment.
The dialog is profoundly genius. This movie is always in the top 25 movies ever, and on the 100 movies you should watch before you die list. It's actually extremely rewatchable. In fact, when you re-watch it, you start to realize just how epic the dialog is.
This movie really made Tarantino's career, It was, thus far, his best (IMO). I also love his other work, but this just had a certain perfection to it. I'm also a fan of Kill Bill and Django Unchained. His other stuff (Hateful Eight, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs) is also excellent, but they aren't close to those three for me. I haven't seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet, but would like to.
Several points worth mentioning:
-This rebooted Travolta's career. He also asked to change the dialog in the car when he shot Marvin in the face to come off more sociopathic by not accepting the blame.
-Vincent was always going to the bathroom because heroin abuse tends to cause constipation. This was a detail they didn't miss.
-When Vincent stabbed Mia in the chest with the needle, the drug dealer's wife was getting off on it. Pay attention to her reaction and you can tell she's excited. This matches her previous conversation indicating that she has a thing for needles.
The key moment for me is when Vincent offends Butch, calling him punchy (washed up...past it)...the look on Butch's face says his pride is stinging and I believe that was the seed for him to cross Marcellus. Vincent set his own demise 😉
And he'd already started the insults with "palooka"; the word in its original sense referred specifically to an incompetent boxer.
Butch was already planning to double-cross Marcellus. He agreed to take a dive to drive the odds up, then bet on himself to win.
@@Parallax-3D Where was that evidenced in the movie?
Today in 2023, $5 is a bargain for a shake 😆
Not many people know that Christopher Walken was not part of this film.
One day he just walked into the set and started to talk to this kid about a watch that was in some guys butt through the war.
And then he just left.
Tarantino thought it was amazing so he kept it in the film and build a small story around the watch.
"If he had not gone back for the watch, none of this would have happened."
Ah, but then he'd be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, waiting for someone to kill him.
“Tennessee time” Tennessee covers two time zones
The BEGINNING of the story was Vincent and Juelz showing up to get the case and murder Brad's crew. Juelz witnesses divine intervention, and decides it was a miracle.
They leave, 'accidentally' blow off Marvin's head, meet Jimmy and meet 'The Wolf', and the Wolf helps them clean the car and dispose of the body, car, and evidence. Then Juelz and Vincent go for breakfast.
The MIDDLE is the diner scene, (before Juelz retires, and before Vince met Butch, and took Mia on a date). This is where Juelz decides to retire for sure and let 'Ringo and Honey Bunny' go.
Then they leave to go to Marcellus' club/ bar. They show up to deliver the Case(which is the missing jewels from the Reservoir Dogs heist) to Marcellus. Juelz tells Marcellus he is done, Vincent is upset with Juelz decision, and then he meets Butch, buying Red Apples (After we learn Butch is supposed to take a fall in a boxing match) and instantly Vincent had a problem with Butch. This is after Marcellus and Butch make the deal, so Marcellus calls Vincent over to cool the situation (because Vincent kills people lol).
Marcellus leaves, Juelz and Vincent go on their separate ways, and Butch sets up his bets, then Vincent has his date with Mia, and all hell broke loose.
The next day is the fight, and the END of the story is towards the middle of the movie (when Bruce Willis leaves on the chopper with his girl)...
END*** 'Vince is dead, after him and Juelz cleaned up Marvin, and then he met Butch at the club before Butch's fight... after the fight Mia thanked Vincent for dinner. The diner scene/robbery already happened. And Juelz was retired, so Marcellus went with Vince to Butch's apartment. Marcellus was hungry and Vincent had to shit. Marcellus left to get breakfast, Butch then showed up while Vince was taking the Browns to the Superbowl. That's why Butch came across Marcellus, right after shooting Vincent, and their whole interaction happened "MotherF*ker". Marcellus had been waiting on him all morning, and didn't think he'd show up there. So he couldn't believe when Butch pulled up at a stop light, while he was holding doughnuts. Then all hell brakes loose again, Butch ended up saving Marcellus, and Marcellus decides to let Butch go. Butch takes Zed's chopper, went and picked up his girl, and rode off in the sunset to get his fortune...
THE END
- Hunny Bunny and Ringo were having breakfast.
- Bret was having breakfast when Jules and Vincent came.
- Fabiene wanted to have breakfast with Butch.
- Butch decided to have a little breakfast in his apartment.
- Vincent and Jules went for breakfast after the Bonnie Situation.
I'm still wondering how the hell Tarantino managed to get his hands on a box of Frute Brute, given that General Mills discontinued it in '82. Was it a limited edition release or something? 🤔
My favorite thing about the movie is that all of Vincent's problems stem from his opiate addiction. He shoots Marvin in the face because of muscle spasms caused by it. Mia overdoses after mistaking his heroin for cocaine. And he's chronically constipated, which is why he's always going to the bathroom, so Butch is able to easily kill him. Also, I've always wondered if Marcellus would've let Butch go if he'd known that he killed Vincent.
