Haven't seen this movie in awhile now I just realized that when Jules said "Marcelle Wallace doesn't like to be f**ked by anyone except Miss Wallace" was foreshadowing.
You are 100% correct. The "last" shot of the story is Bruce Willis riding off on the bike with his girlfriend. This film is such a masterpiece. Not only is it a fantastic script (it won the Oscar for Best Screenplay), the performances are outstanding, and the directing is legendary. This film influenced SO many other filmmakers. It changed filmmaking when it came out. That's the reason its so well remembered 30 years on 🙂
16:20 "Punchy" is a derogatory term towards a boxer who is either a journeyman that never wins fights, or someone who takes dives for money. in this case, Butch is deciding to be the latter... or is he? 19:56 Wifey looked a little confused here, Martin And Lewis were a Caucasian Comedy duo, Amos And Andy were an African American Comedy duo. 27:02 she said Vincent Vega. 28:45 because of the way it was packaged, she snorted the heroin thinking it was coke.
They didn't try to intimidate or wanna kill Marvin. He was their friend who snitched on the guys who they killed in the beginning... Travolta was just talking carelessly with a loaded gun in his hand when it went off
I’ve watched a couple reactions and everybody missed it when they mention their guy being in the apartment, and that is Marvin. Maybe I’ve just seen the movie so many times it seems obvious? I dunno haha
@@foljs5858You might be right. But it does sound like Elvis, which would make sense for the theme of the place they're in that has employees dressed up as old-time celebrities.
@@leniobarcelos1770 Yes when they arrived at the restaurant she mentioned to him that she thought an Elvis fan like him would enjoy this place and with all the waiters and waitresses dressed up as celebrities from the 40s, 50s and 60s she said into the mic in an Elvis sounding voice "Vincent Vega" which was his name.
I’ve watched this movie many times and you are the 1st people ever to point out that something miraculous happens to someone in every scene. Can’t believe I never caught it.
You are the first reactors that I've seen, that figured out why Marceles was in that neighborhood. Everyone always says "what are the odds? ". And yes that's his gun. 😆
Just like the Bartender, Marcellus himself came out retirement and returned to “the field” to assist with the search for Butch. And since Jules had already retired to “walk the earth” he joined Vincent instead. Vincent is a handgun man, as we see. So the Uzi likely belonged to Marcellus
really?? LOL. @key made a great point, don't miss it. Even the best reviewer (Dasha) missed that point on first watch. Watch more of these Pulp first time watches and you will not find another that nails that coffee/donut point about Wallace (Yes Almost Everyone knows it NOW) 🙏🏾 @@HD00957
no it's not his gun. Marcellus was miles away. bruce drove pretty fast for miles, before he saw Marcellus. what's more, Marcellus was a boss, he's not going to be getting his own coffee. Vincent Vega played kind of a dunce throughout the whole movie.
@@klausrain111 But you forget, Vincent was one of Marcellus' good friends. So why wouldn't he grab coffee and donuts for him and Vincent? He doesn't treat Vincent like anyone else considering Vincent took Mia out the night before.
There are so many good lines in this movie, but my favorite is when Jules is face ti face with Ringo across the table, gun in hand, and he says, "Now I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is *you're* the weak. And I am the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the Shepherd." Chills. Every time.
you both are the smartest and most fun duo i’ve watched. love your banter, laughter, knowledge, ability to pick up the right vibes at the right time, just superb
Tarantino said that Vincent didn’t think he should go to Butch’s place bc he’s not stupid enough to go home. Wallace told him to go anyway and also went with him since Jules quit. The scene where they discussed it was cut from the final edit. Also, Butch is the guy that keyed Vincent’s car for calling him punchy. The reason Mia od’d is bc she snorted it thinking it was coke but it was heroin. She thought it was coke bc it was in a baggie not a balloon. Remember that Vincent’s dealer said he was out of balloons and asked him if a baggie was ok.
RE: Butch keying Vince's car. How would he know what car Vincent drove? Vince and Jules had to share a cab to the diner after leaving Monster Joe's. That would mean they also needed a cab to get to the club to deliver the briefcase to Marcellus. That's when Vince and Butch cross paths. So, when did Butch ever see Vince's convertible??
The white liquid Mia was throwing up was the $5 Martin and Lewis (vanilla) milk shake. Vincent is always in the bathroom because heroin causes constipation. Tarantino doesn't leave those little details out.
If Mia was such a cokehead, regardless of packaging she should have taken a tiny taste of the product to see how fast her tongue went numb. This not only would verify it was coke but whether it was cut heavily. I kind of wish I didn't know that - at least I thank God I never got addicted. I saw a few friends go down that road tho. :(
Some people have a tough time mentally laying out the timeline.. you guys had a fantastic grasp of it… it shows that you loved it and payed close attention. Great reaction guys!!
That was a lot of fun to watch this with you guys! The greatest movie of all time, for me. There are so many layers and dialog nuggets....now that you saw this the first time, this is where the real fun begins. When you watch again, you will find new aspects to appreciate about it. It's absolute perfection to me.
That's one thing I'm learning about watching movies as well. You feel like you fully understand the movie on the first watch but the super little things you notice the more you watch makes it that much better.
After starring in the TV sit-com Welcome Back, Kotter, John Travolta's big break out movie role was Saturday Night Fever in 1977 where he did a lot of disco dancing. He also was in the musical Grease in 1978. So, yeah, he was known for his dancing. His career kind of faded until Tarantino cast him in Pulp Fiction which revitalized his career.
Btw guys, “punchy” is a derogatory term for someone who’s slow or stuttery. Calling a fighter it is especially derogatory. Means they got hit one too many times and are slow whitted now.
A common interpretation of this film is that it involves a constant theme of redemption. Those who accept a sign to change their ways end up escaping the criminal life in one piece, despite any previous wrongdoing (ironically, a sentiment Vincent mentions as they clean the car). Butch remembers the story of his father's watch and goes back to save Marsellus, and is rewarded with a new life. Jules and Vincent are saved from the bullets, and while Jules accepts the sign, Vincent doesn't, and that's why Vincent dies. Great reaction from both of you. This is one of my all time favorites. It's possibly the coolest movie out there.
Even Marsellus, though not leaving the criminal life, calls it even with Butch. It seems like a realization that his own actions have some fault for the situation. He could have, in the first place, just said “Hey, that’s part of this life. You win some, you lose some. I’ll be more cautious in my trust next time.” Instead, he let pride f with him, and got very vindictive about the situation. Maybe that’s a lesson to heed his own advice, rather than just giving it.
This is the best reaction to Pulp Fiction that I have seen. You really enjoyed this movie, and your analysis at the end was right on point. Thank you for the entertaining reaction!
1:11:02 Butch did what his dad would have done - look out for another man who is in common danger. Just like Christopher Walken’s character told him you look out for one another.
A code of honour, drifting down the decades, encoded in his genes, or at least in the bond of men. There are some things you can't let pass, at the end of the day you have to get up and look at yourself in the mirror. You want to like the image that's looking back.
New to your channel. When this first came out in the movie theater I went in blind to see this because the movie I wanted to watch was sold out. I was blown away! I think I watched most of the movie with my mouth hanging open lol. I’ve been a Tarantino stan ever since and have watched everything he’s done. Absolutely enjoyed y’alls reactions. New sub. I look forward to more of y’all’s content!
I wish I had been more aware of this movie when it was in theaters, I didn't end up seeing it until 2004, it was in a stack of DVDs in my dad's living room. 😅
One of the themes in the movie IS peoole getting saved, which is why Zeds chopper was named "Grace", as in Saving Grace. And youre the first channel ive ever seen that even noticed the amount of miracles that happen
Wow such an amazing reaction! Best reaction to this movie, I've ever seen on youtube. You guys did a perfect job from every possible angle. I enjoyed every second of it.
A masterclass in character dialogue and non linear storytelling, Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest American films of the last three decades. I further recommend the following Tarantino films if you’ve not seen them yet: Jackie Brown, Inglorious Bastards, Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful 8. Oh yeah, you were right! Tarantino DID work on From Dusk To Dawn! He wrote the screenplay with his friend Robert Rodriguez, who directed it….Years later he would work with Rodriguez again on the double feature Grindhouse Presents: Planet Terror and Death Proof. Definitely films worth checking out. They’re nostalgic AF.
I can see this defiantly being the greatest, this story was just amazing and yeah we're watching all of QT movies and we actually watched Reservoir Dogs =D Be on the look out for the couples channel announcement because we'll be uploading over there from now on.
I enjoyed your reaction a lot, you had fun while still paying attention, that was very refreshing, enjoyed post reaction talk, certainly gonna watch some more with you
Great reaction to what I consider a modern classic. This is my first reaction of yours, and I really like your overall presentation and editing choices. Looking forward to watching more.
Great analysis, I have seen this movie several times and I never thought Samual Jackson's devine revalation actually saved him in the end, but it did. Wow!
It saves him physically and spiritually! It's hard to see past all the sex, drugs and violence but this film is all about morality - how do we define right and wrong? Does god exist? I think this film says "yes".
For the love of God Samuel L. Jackson calling himself "The tyranny of evil men" is the only person who can say it and have it be believable.....put that line back in! Good reaction
Excellent production. +1 sub Don’t change a thing. I’m a tough critic, but y’all did everything right: plenty of the OV, kept the audio when you had to cut away, paused the OV when y’all had a chat, and didn’t watch with English captions on like so many Gen Zers do. Perfect.
Captions isn't a generational thing. I watch a ton of reaction channels with varying ages and _many_ 40+ reactors also use captions. Not sure why anyone would have an issue with using them, especially in a reaction where they may miss audio but catch it on screen.
@@that.ll_do_pig you can always rewind if you miss something. Films are meant to be seen and heard, not read. That’s why you don’t have captions in theaters. They can spoil scenes and you miss too many acting subtleties.
"Who's motorcycle is this?" "It's not motorcycle, baby it's a chopper" "Who's chopper is this?" "Zed's" "Who's Zed" "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead" Iconic lines in this film.
The thing I find hilarious about the Ezekiel scene is that Jules ate the mans last meal in front of him, maintaining eye contact the whole damn time! 🤣
If you do end up watching "Death Proof" - Tarantino and his buddy Robert Rodriguez got together and they each made a movie and they released the two movies together as a double feature under the name "Grind House". Tarantino's movie was "Death Proof" and Rodriguez's movie was "Planet Terror". When the double feature played in theaters they also had other film maker friends make fake trailers for fake movies and they showed the trailers along with the two "main features". If you do watch them, I'd recommend watching the entire "grind house" experience - two movies along with fake trailers. Also, you mentioned "From Dusk Till Dawn" - that was a movie written by Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriquez.
@@LegitHarpyHunter Yes, exactly! When the house lights went down and the film started playing it genuinely felt like being transported back in time! Magical!
I love that although the storytelling is non linear the message really isn't. If you view it through Samuel’s arc its actually pretty linear. We start off with the robbery where he shows that he's changed and than we see how he became a changed man.
Watch all of Tarantino's films (he's only made 9 in 30 years). All of them are cinematic masterpieces. Everyone ranks them in different order depending on their personal preference, but all of them are worth a watch. Enjoy 🙂
@@CampCrystalCharlie So if you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, that should be next, followed by Four Rooms (even though that is only about one-quarter his movie). People forget about Four Rooms.
@@Mertztillithurts Four Rooms isn't counted as part of "Tarantino's Ten". Same as True Romance and Natural Born Killers. Yes, he wrote them, but they are not his films as he did not direct them. In order, his films are - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol.1, Kill Bill vol.2 Inglorious Bastards, Django, Hateful 8, Once upon a time. Nine so far, with a tenth and final one to come.
The idea of your friend taking your wife out is because ideally, you can trust the person she's going out with. He keeps her entertained and from getting lonely. The converse to this is, youre away on business, she gets lonely, she meets some guy who doesnt know or care about you as her husband, and sleeps with her.
I never thought about the many other “freak occurrences” in this movie potentially qualifying as miracles. That’s some really interesting insight. Great reaction.
Nice job putting everything in chronological order and seeing the whole story arc and the details like Wallace being at the apartment with Vincent. A lot of reactors end their videos seeming a little confused still. You guys were sharp with it.
@ 1:05:00 sister breaking it down granularly on ALL levels. I never saw this movie in that light but it all makes sense now. Marcel and Travolta at the apartment together makes perfect sense. Mind blown!
Fun fact: the bullet holes were already in the wall before Alexis Arquette's character shot at them; it's something many of us miss no matter how many times we watch it, but after watching the top movie bloopers (can't remember who did it; maybe WatchMojo), I knew to keep an eye out for it & sure enough, there was at least one behind Samuel L. Jackson. If you haven't, I think another Bruce Willis movie you should check out is Sin City; it's completely shot in the style of a graphic novel, as it was based on the neo-noir comics of the same name. And another John Travolta movie where he was the villain is Swordfish, about computer hackers (Hugh Jackman & Halle Berry are also in it).
When Wallace’s girlfriend introduced themselves for the dance contest, she said Travolta’s character name, Vincent Vega. She said it very quickly and in a low tone, so it was hard to make out
You didn't know Travolta was a dancer? He dances in every movie he is in. I think it's in his contract. Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban Cowboy, Get Shorty, Look Whos Talking, , He even danced in that movie he played an angel in.
Best movie of the 1990s. Not even kidding. The look on your face when Vincent shot Marvin was the same as mine and everybody else's in the cinema. The three main characters -- Jules, Vincent and Butch -- all got the opportunity to find redemption. Butch (some things just shouldn't happen to *anybody* ) and Jules chose redemption, while Vincent did not. Butch and Jules lived, and Vincent didn't.
1994 had some juggernauts. I get your sentiment but Im not sure this is even the best movie of that year. I give the slight edge to Shawshank Redemption, but I loved both
26:10 the dance scene is said to be an homage to a French film from the 60s that Tarantino loved, it featured some youthful criminals and in the middle of the film there’s an impromptu scene of them dancing to a jukebox in a cafe. But watching this when it came out, none of us were surprised at all to have Travolta have a dance scene. It was his calling card, like Tom Cruise sprinting. That man has a beautiful sprint.
aaah.... actually...."Punchy" is a term for a boxer who is "punch drunk" from too many fights (this is NOT a complement). when Vega talks to his supplier, he tells him Butch keyed his car. OH! Marcellas doesn't trust his wife, thus, the date with Vega. and they did not win the dance trophy, they stole it.
You guys seemed to have a supreme understanding of this film. There’s actually a LOT more to it but you guys worked out a DEEP understanding of what went on in one viewing. It took me a few views to piece it together like you guys did.
I'm not sure if anyone commented this yet but if you go back to the beginning of the movie in the diner and listen really close you can hear Jules and Vincent in the background talking and you actually see Vincent walking to the bathroom.
Fire Reaction to one of my top ten greatest movies of all time!!! Don’t think you guys picked up on the reason old girl OD’d but if you notice Vincent was shooting heroine, Mia was snorting coke. When she was wearing Vincent’s jacket after winning the dance contest she mistakenly snorted his heroine. Btw… New Sub!!!
y'alls chemistry with each other and your banter with each other and the movie is excellent. glad to find your channel and sub, keep it up! if you love this Tarantino movie, I suggest watching either Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, or Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2) next!
That was awesome! You two are becoming my favorite reaction team! For the record, I agree that Vincent was killed because his backup, Jules, wasn’t there.
The bit where he accidentally shot Marvin in the face... every time. :D It's like they're player characters in a tabletop RPG, and Vincent's player rolled a 1 on his charisma check at that moment. :D
best reaction to this movie I've ever seen. this is my favourite film so I love seeing people watch it for the first time. you guys have the perfect sense of humour for it. most people talk all over the foot massage conversation at the beggining and miss all the punch lines. they assume that "nothing is happening yet, its just a load of talking" because they dont realise that the dialogue is the main thing. also you guys laughed at one of my favourite parts. its in the part where they have to stab her in the heart with the adrenaline shot. Eric Stoltz says "you have to bring the needle down in a stabbing motion like this" then he demonstrates the motion 3 times and John Travolta goes "I gotta stab her 3 times???" the situation is so serious but little bits like that are so funny and most people miss it. you guys made me shout "YES!" when you laughed at that. ive seen this film a zillion times but ive never thought of your idea that the gun on the side counter at butch's place could have been Marceles Wallaces gun. I always assumed that, because John travoltas character is a dope head, he clumsily left it there, but I like your theory. you guys are awesome.
the story goes day 1; -retrieving the brief case -marvin and the wolf -diner scene -bruse willis pay off scene -john buys the drugs -outing with uma -overdose scene -willis wins the match and flees day2 -morning at the hotel -travolta dies -hill billy store -zed’s bike
Well shit...I saw this way back when first released...and many times over the years and I never thought of it the way you said; that the gun on the counter belonging to Marcellus...and he simply left it there while he went for doughnuts, lol. :) Damn that makes sense! You could be right. Learn something new every day, huh ? :) Good catch guys!
One of my favorite little secret Easter eggs in this movie happens in the pawnshop. When Butch escapes and standing at the door right behind him is a license plate that says “Tennessee”. The license plate represents the choice to flee. But if you noticed above the doorway back downstairs, there is a burnt out Killian’s Red sign. I am not kidding you, the only letters that are illuminated are KILL ED. The Z on the keychain completes the sentence as he’s driving away after
Also, the sword Bruce Willis takes off the shelf in the pawn shop may be referenced in Kill Bill Vol. 2 when Bud, Bill’s Brother, tells Bill he pawned his Hattori Hanzo sword. 🤔
I love how Butch dreams about his father's death, and the martial nature of his family, and his dad's watch, and then wakes; it's assumed this is part of his makeup, part of his motivation, part of why the watch means so much. But later he comments to his girl, that he never remembers his dreams. That's writing, that's how to establish a plot point, that's bloody brilliant.
Mia snorted Vincent´s heroine thinking it was cocaine (and heroin must be inyected with a needle). And Vincent goes a lot to the bath because he is an heroin addict, and that provokes you some kind of incontinence.
lol how can you go into pulp fiction not knowing it's quentin tarrantino? ... lol just kidding but i have to laugh! this is his masterpiece. but nearly everything he's made is a masterpiece.
58:40 So, when Jules says “Well yeah, I was sitting here eating my muffin…” You can HEAR this exact bit of dialogue in the BEGINNING of the movie, as background noise. You don’t think anything of it, but it does sort of “stick out” and is clearer than just normal background conversation. And then right after this, when Vincent walks to the bathroom.. also in the opening scene of the movie, you can SEE Vincent’s back walking to the bathroom holding his book. Again, you don’t have a clue that that’s anything important because it just seems like a background actor. SO MANY details in this movie… it takes multiple watches to catch them all.
Visited my son in LA, he took me out to lunch. We talked movies, (he works in LA, everything is movies). I could see him holding something back & was excited about it. Won't say how long it took but we were eating lunch when I realized we were sitting in the exact same booth Vincent & Jules sat in during the filming of this movie. OMG... Highly Recommended if you're ever in LA! It changes the way you feel when you watch this movie.
I don’t know when you visited your son in LA but The Hawthorne Grill which was the diner at the opening and ending scenes closed in 1996 and was demolished in 1999.
Christopher Walken is another tier of actor for being able to keep a straight face giving the watch speech. Incredible.
Lol you think they'd leave the laughing take in? He probably laughed several times and just finally got it right
How about the actors not busting out laughing while Walken speaks with his 1930s NY accent+ his quirky pauses, and inflections on the wrong vowels.
You gotta be a special kind of person to come up with the "Watch Story." That, dialogue. The delivery from Christopher Walken. 👌
Haven't seen this movie in awhile now I just realized that when Jules said "Marcelle Wallace doesn't like to be f**ked by anyone except Miss Wallace" was foreshadowing.
I’ve seen this movie prob more than 20 times and I never put this together either ha 😮
I'm today years old when I figured this out!
I also realized this only a couple of days ago, watching a reaction to the movie.
Hahahah I always noticed that
It goes without saying he don't want a dude raping him
You are 100% correct. The "last" shot of the story is Bruce Willis riding off on the bike with his girlfriend. This film is such a masterpiece. Not only is it a fantastic script (it won the Oscar for Best Screenplay), the performances are outstanding, and the directing is legendary. This film influenced SO many other filmmakers. It changed filmmaking when it came out. That's the reason its so well remembered 30 years on 🙂
The dialogue is a master class
Chronologically, Butch is shown in both the first (receiving the watch) and last (leaving the motel) scenes. 🤔
Oh hell, I never thought of Zed's Dead as the last shot chronologically. Damn. And I've seen this like 100 times.
On the bike? It's a chopper, baby.
16:20 "Punchy" is a derogatory term towards a boxer who is either a journeyman that never wins fights, or someone who takes dives for money. in this case, Butch is deciding to be the latter... or is he?
19:56 Wifey looked a little confused here, Martin And Lewis were a Caucasian Comedy duo, Amos And Andy were an African American Comedy duo.
27:02 she said Vincent Vega.
28:45 because of the way it was packaged, she snorted the heroin thinking it was coke.
Palooka is an inept fighter.
Palookaville
“African American” what part of Africa were they born?
“Punchy” is also a derogatory term for someone with dementia pugilistic; i.e. it’s short for “punch drunk”
Martin & Lewis: Vanilla; Amos & Andy: Chocolate
This is definitely one of the best reactions to pulp fiction I've ever seen... and I've seen A LOT of them!
Ayyyyeee thanks =D
Agreed!!! Loved seeing them piece things together too
Vincent dying shows that Jules was right leaving that life behind after the "divine intervention".
That's the most upset I've ever seen anyone get for Marvin. 🤣 Great reaction!
I was pretty upset myself low key. I love Phil Lamar 😂
They didn't try to intimidate or wanna kill Marvin. He was their friend who snitched on the guys who they killed in the beginning... Travolta was just talking carelessly with a loaded gun in his hand when it went off
Yeah, Vincent was definitely lacking in trigger and barrel discipline.
Vincent's decay from being a badass is one of the core parts of his character. The more you see the less cool he is.
@@0okaminoAnd then he gets so uncool that he gets deaded lol.

She said Vincent Vega
With a Elvis tone

@@terryconnelly484 I think she just said with a lower "male" tone, to sound as if he (Vincent) was the one saying it

Your post-movie analysis was so much fun to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
you both are the smartest and most fun duo i’ve watched. love your banter, laughter, knowledge, ability to pick up the right vibes at the right time, just superb
Yeah they’re awesome together. I really liked the extra summary talk at the end too. I love it when reactors do that.
Tarantino said that Vincent didn’t think he should go to Butch’s place bc he’s not stupid enough to go home. Wallace told him to go anyway and also went with him since Jules quit. The scene where they discussed it was cut from the final edit.
Also, Butch is the guy that keyed Vincent’s car for calling him punchy. The reason Mia od’d is bc she snorted it thinking it was coke but it was heroin. She thought it was coke bc it was in a baggie not a balloon. Remember that Vincent’s dealer said he was out of balloons and asked him if a baggie was ok.
RE: Butch keying Vince's car. How would he know what car Vincent drove? Vince and Jules had to share a cab to the diner after leaving Monster Joe's. That would mean they also needed a cab to get to the club to deliver the briefcase to Marcellus. That's when Vince and Butch cross paths. So, when did Butch ever see Vince's convertible??
Yeah I don't know about the whole "Butch keyed his car" thing, chief.
The white liquid Mia was throwing up was the $5 Martin and Lewis (vanilla) milk shake. Vincent is always in the bathroom because heroin causes constipation. Tarantino doesn't leave those little details out.
No Tarantino always writes in backstories that are only implied in his movie. I saw an interview where he confirms it was Butch that keyed his car.
If Mia was such a cokehead, regardless of packaging she should have taken a tiny taste of the product to see how fast her tongue went numb. This not only would verify it was coke but whether it was cut heavily. I kind of wish I didn't know that - at least I thank God I never got addicted. I saw a few friends go down that road tho. :(
Some people have a tough time mentally laying out the timeline.. you guys had a fantastic grasp of it… it shows that you loved it and payed close attention. Great reaction guys!!

She thought she was snorting coke from Vincent's coat, it was heroin.
A side effect of heroin use is constipation.
Hence Vincent being in the bathroom multiple times reading.
Also heroin is usually in balloons coke in baggies. It was an honest mistake , but it'll teach her not to mess with anyone's dope.
Exactly! Which is why Vincent spent so much time on the toilet and one of his worst vices.

Btw guys, “punchy” is a derogatory term for someone who’s slow or stuttery. Calling a fighter it is especially derogatory. Means they got hit one too many times and are slow whitted now.
Punchy is also a derogatory term for a boxer (guy who "punches"). He also called him "palooka" - another old derogatory term for a boxer.
A common interpretation of this film is that it involves a constant theme of redemption. Those who accept a sign to change their ways end up escaping the criminal life in one piece, despite any previous wrongdoing (ironically, a sentiment Vincent mentions as they clean the car).
Butch remembers the story of his father's watch and goes back to save Marsellus, and is rewarded with a new life. Jules and Vincent are saved from the bullets, and while Jules accepts the sign, Vincent doesn't, and that's why Vincent dies.
Great reaction from both of you. This is one of my all time favorites. It's possibly the coolest movie out there.
Even Marsellus, though not leaving the criminal life, calls it even with Butch. It seems like a realization that his own actions have some fault for the situation. He could have, in the first place, just said “Hey, that’s part of this life. You win some, you lose some. I’ll be more cautious in my trust next time.” Instead, he let pride f with him, and got very vindictive about the situation. Maybe that’s a lesson to heed his own advice, rather than just giving it.
Ur girls sharp just let her tell u😂good vid guys I subscribed great couple great dynamic😊
Isn't she sharp 😍
This is the best reaction to Pulp Fiction that I have seen. You really enjoyed this movie, and your analysis at the end was right on point. Thank you for the entertaining reaction!
vincent wasn't staking out butch's apartment alone, wallus was with him, he just went to get coffee and donuts, that's why he ran into wallus nearby.
This was a treat, bc I really like watching movies with you two. You guys are a blast!
1:11:02 Butch did what his dad would have done - look out for another man who is in common danger. Just like Christopher Walken’s character told him you look out for one another.
Shit I never even thought about that situation relating back to his dad and walken in pow camp
A code of honour, drifting down the decades, encoded in his genes, or at least in the bond of men. There are some things you can't let pass, at the end of the day you have to get up and look at yourself in the mirror. You want to like the image that's looking back.
The lady's face every tami the twist happens, especially with the watch story🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved. Good reaction guys🥰🥰🥰
😂😂😂
New to your channel. When this first came out in the movie theater I went in blind to see this because the movie I wanted to watch was sold out. I was blown away! I think I watched most of the movie with my mouth hanging open lol. I’ve been a Tarantino stan ever since and have watched everything he’s done. Absolutely enjoyed y’alls reactions. New sub. I look forward to more of y’all’s content!
I wish I had been more aware of this movie when it was in theaters, I didn't end up seeing it until 2004, it was in a stack of DVDs in my dad's living room. 😅
One of the themes in the movie IS peoole getting saved, which is why Zeds chopper was named "Grace", as in Saving Grace. And youre the first channel ive ever seen that even noticed the amount of miracles that happen
Wow such an amazing reaction! Best reaction to this movie, I've ever seen on youtube. You guys did a perfect job from every possible angle. I enjoyed every second of it.
A masterclass in character dialogue and non linear storytelling, Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest American films of the last three decades. I further recommend the following Tarantino films if you’ve not seen them yet: Jackie Brown, Inglorious Bastards, Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful 8.
Oh yeah, you were right! Tarantino DID work on From Dusk To Dawn! He wrote the screenplay with his friend Robert Rodriguez, who directed it….Years later he would work with Rodriguez again on the double feature Grindhouse Presents: Planet Terror and Death Proof. Definitely films worth checking out. They’re nostalgic AF.
I can see this defiantly being the greatest, this story was just amazing and yeah we're watching all of QT movies and we actually watched Reservoir Dogs =D
Be on the look out for the couples channel announcement because we'll be uploading over there from now on.
I enjoyed your reaction a lot, you had fun while still paying attention, that was very refreshing, enjoyed post reaction talk, certainly gonna watch some more with you
It was so much fun watching you enjoying it...greetings from Germany
Great reaction to what I consider a modern classic. This is my first reaction of yours, and I really like your overall presentation and editing choices. Looking forward to watching more.
That was a great reaction. Glad y’all like it. I’ve seen it so many times and it never fails to evoke the same reactions every time I see it.
Punchy is not his name and neither is palooka. They are both derogatory terms. Look them up. He was insulting him.
Great analysis, I have seen this movie several times and I never thought Samual Jackson's devine revalation actually saved him in the end, but it did. Wow!
It saves him physically and spiritually! It's hard to see past all the sex, drugs and violence but this film is all about morality - how do we define right and wrong? Does god exist? I think this film says "yes".
For the love of God Samuel L. Jackson calling himself "The tyranny of evil men" is the only person who can say it and have it be believable.....put that line back in!
Good reaction
Loved the reaction, you two have such a lovely chemistry
Thanks! Glad you enjoy
Excellent production. +1 sub
Don’t change a thing. I’m a tough critic, but y’all did everything right: plenty of the OV, kept the audio when you had to cut away, paused the OV when y’all had a chat, and didn’t watch with English captions on like so many Gen Zers do. Perfect.
Captions isn't a generational thing. I watch a ton of reaction channels with varying ages and _many_ 40+ reactors also use captions. Not sure why anyone would have an issue with using them, especially in a reaction where they may miss audio but catch it on screen.
@@that.ll_do_pig you can always rewind if you miss something.
Films are meant to be seen and heard, not read. That’s why you don’t have captions in theaters. They can spoil scenes and you miss too many acting subtleties.
"Who's motorcycle is this?"
"It's not motorcycle, baby it's a chopper"
"Who's chopper is this?"
"Zed's"
"Who's Zed"
"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead"
Iconic lines in this film.
I just realized Zeds Dead is the name of a edm band. I wonder where they got the name from now lol.
The thing I find hilarious about the Ezekiel scene is that Jules ate the mans last meal in front of him, maintaining eye contact the whole damn time! 🤣
If you do end up watching "Death Proof" - Tarantino and his buddy Robert Rodriguez got together and they each made a movie and they released the two movies together as a double feature under the name "Grind House". Tarantino's movie was "Death Proof" and Rodriguez's movie was "Planet Terror". When the double feature played in theaters they also had other film maker friends make fake trailers for fake movies and they showed the trailers along with the two "main features". If you do watch them, I'd recommend watching the entire "grind house" experience - two movies along with fake trailers.
Also, you mentioned "From Dusk Till Dawn" - that was a movie written by Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriquez.
Grindhouse was wild in theaters. I went with a bunch of friends and it felt like we went back in time to the 80s for the experience.
@@LegitHarpyHunter Yes, exactly! When the house lights went down and the film started playing it genuinely felt like being transported back in time! Magical!
I love that although the storytelling is non linear the message really isn't. If you view it through Samuel’s arc its actually pretty linear. We start off with the robbery where he shows that he's changed and than we see how he became a changed man.
Watch all of Tarantino's films (he's only made 9 in 30 years). All of them are cinematic masterpieces. Everyone ranks them in different order depending on their personal preference, but all of them are worth a watch. Enjoy 🙂
That actually sounds like an amazing idea
@@CampCrystalCharlie It is also worth to mention that next Tarantino movie will be his last one - as he planned to only do exactly 10 movies total.
@@CampCrystalCharlieRec you do them in order of release.
@@CampCrystalCharlie So if you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, that should be next, followed by Four Rooms (even though that is only about one-quarter his movie). People forget about Four Rooms.
@@Mertztillithurts Four Rooms isn't counted as part of "Tarantino's Ten". Same as True Romance and Natural Born Killers. Yes, he wrote them, but they are not his films as he did not direct them. In order, his films are - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol.1, Kill Bill vol.2 Inglorious Bastards, Django, Hateful 8, Once upon a time. Nine so far, with a tenth and final one to come.
The idea of your friend taking your wife out is because ideally, you can trust the person she's going out with. He keeps her entertained and from getting lonely. The converse to this is, youre away on business, she gets lonely, she meets some guy who doesnt know or care about you as her husband, and sleeps with her.
Best line in this movie: "No. I'm pretty far from OK..."
I never thought about the many other “freak occurrences” in this movie potentially qualifying as miracles. That’s some really interesting insight. Great reaction.
Nice job putting everything in chronological order and seeing the whole story arc and the details like Wallace being at the apartment with Vincent. A lot of reactors end their videos seeming a little confused still. You guys were sharp with it.
@ 1:05:00 sister breaking it down granularly on ALL levels. I never saw this movie in that light but it all makes sense now. Marcel and Travolta at the apartment together makes perfect sense. Mind blown!
Yo y'all breakdown at the end was wild. You actually figured out shit that took me mad views and Internet research to learn lmao
Fun fact: the bullet holes were already in the wall before Alexis Arquette's character shot at them; it's something many of us miss no matter how many times we watch it, but after watching the top movie bloopers (can't remember who did it; maybe WatchMojo), I knew to keep an eye out for it & sure enough, there was at least one behind Samuel L. Jackson.
If you haven't, I think another Bruce Willis movie you should check out is Sin City; it's completely shot in the style of a graphic novel, as it was based on the neo-noir comics of the same name. And another John Travolta movie where he was the villain is Swordfish, about computer hackers (Hugh Jackman & Halle Berry are also in it).
The last line in the movie chronologically was "Zed's dead honey. Zed's dead"
really good edits and audio balancing; thank you. got me to sub on the glassware alone :)P
When Wallace’s girlfriend introduced themselves for the dance contest, she said Travolta’s character name, Vincent Vega. She said it very quickly and in a low tone, so it was hard to make out
mia wallace riding home after the overdose is my biggest movie crush ever
You didn't know Travolta was a dancer? He dances in every movie he is in. I think it's in his contract. Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban Cowboy, Get Shorty, Look Whos Talking, , He even danced in that movie he played an angel in.
😂😂😂 I'm new to watching movies outside of Documentaries and Horror.
Michael is the angel movie.
He also danced a little in Face Off.
Great reaction- she needs to be in more of these...good insights..
Best movie of the 1990s.
Not even kidding.
The look on your face when Vincent shot Marvin was the same as mine and everybody else's in the cinema.
The three main characters -- Jules, Vincent and Butch -- all got the opportunity to find redemption.
Butch (some things just shouldn't happen to *anybody* ) and Jules chose redemption, while Vincent did not.
Butch and Jules lived, and Vincent didn't.
1994 had some juggernauts. I get your sentiment but Im not sure this is even the best movie of that year. I give the slight edge to Shawshank Redemption, but I loved both
Without question it's in the Top 20.👍
masterpiece movie,you did a very good reaction video,👍👍👍from vienna
loved your reactions guys
=D thaaaanks
Just found your channel and watched the reaction. Love the vibes from you two. 👍
26:10 the dance scene is said to be an homage to a French film from the 60s that Tarantino loved, it featured some youthful criminals and in the middle of the film there’s an impromptu scene of them dancing to a jukebox in a cafe. But watching this when it came out, none of us were surprised at all to have Travolta have a dance scene. It was his calling card, like Tom Cruise sprinting. That man has a beautiful sprint.
My first time watching you two. Great reaction.
aaah.... actually...."Punchy" is a term for a boxer who is "punch drunk" from too many fights (this is NOT a complement). when Vega talks to his supplier, he tells him Butch keyed his car. OH! Marcellas doesn't trust his wife, thus, the date with Vega. and they did not win the dance trophy, they stole it.
The algorithm brought me here. You guys made me stay! Thanks for the reaction
A gem of his that is often overlooked is "Jackie Brown". A great movie - I highly recommend.
You guys seemed to have a supreme understanding of this film. There’s actually a LOT more to it but you guys worked out a DEEP understanding of what went on in one viewing. It took me a few views to piece it together like you guys did.
Not really that much more to it...
I'm not sure if anyone commented this yet but if you go back to the beginning of the movie in the diner and listen really close you can hear Jules and Vincent in the background talking and you actually see Vincent walking to the bathroom.
no way. I have never noticed that.
@@JasonHauser125 yeah it's pretty cool
Fire Reaction to one of my top ten greatest movies of all time!!! Don’t think you guys picked up on the reason old girl OD’d but if you notice Vincent was shooting heroine, Mia was snorting coke. When she was wearing Vincent’s jacket after winning the dance contest she mistakenly snorted his heroine. Btw… New Sub!!!
"Done his duty." But upon revisiting this AM, all I hear and FINALLY caught, is this, "he's done his doodie." Dying here after decades and time.
I got a joke. A baby seal walks into a club...
😂😂😂
y'alls chemistry with each other and your banter with each other and the movie is excellent. glad to find your channel and sub, keep it up!
if you love this Tarantino movie, I suggest watching either Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, or Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2) next!
Fantastic reaction , you two are amazing.
That was awesome! You two are becoming my favorite reaction team!
For the record, I agree that Vincent was killed because his backup, Jules, wasn’t there.
"Aw man I shot Marvin in the face" is one of my all-time favorite quotes, lmao
The bit where he accidentally shot Marvin in the face... every time. :D
It's like they're player characters in a tabletop RPG, and Vincent's player rolled a 1 on his charisma check at that moment. :D
Great reaction, and very good obersvation!
Yeah, Butch driving off with his girl is the real ending of the movie, timeline wise.
best reaction to this movie I've ever seen. this is my favourite film so I love seeing people watch it for the first time. you guys have the perfect sense of humour for it.
most people talk all over the foot massage conversation at the beggining and miss all the punch lines. they assume that "nothing is happening yet, its just a load of talking" because they dont realise that the dialogue is the main thing. also you guys laughed at one of my favourite parts. its in the part where they have to stab her in the heart with the adrenaline shot. Eric Stoltz says "you have to bring the needle down in a stabbing motion like this" then he demonstrates the motion 3 times and John Travolta goes "I gotta stab her 3 times???" the situation is so serious but little bits like that are so funny and most people miss it. you guys made me shout "YES!" when you laughed at that.
ive seen this film a zillion times but ive never thought of your idea that the gun on the side counter at butch's place could have been Marceles Wallaces gun. I always assumed that, because John travoltas character is a dope head, he clumsily left it there, but I like your theory.
you guys are awesome.
the story goes
day 1;
-retrieving the brief case
-marvin and the wolf
-diner scene
-bruse willis pay off scene
-john buys the drugs
-outing with uma
-overdose scene
-willis wins the match and flees
day2
-morning at the hotel
-travolta dies
-hill billy store
-zed’s bike
Butch could have called 911 anonymously and then fled the pawn shop.
Butch killed the gimp too.
Well shit...I saw this way back when first released...and many times over the years and I never thought of it the way you said; that the gun on the counter belonging to Marcellus...and he simply left it there while he went for doughnuts, lol. :) Damn that makes sense! You could be right. Learn something new every day, huh ? :) Good catch guys!
One of my favorite little secret Easter eggs in this movie happens in the pawnshop. When Butch escapes and standing at the door right behind him is a license plate that says “Tennessee”. The license plate represents the choice to flee. But if you noticed above the doorway back downstairs, there is a burnt out Killian’s Red sign. I am not kidding you, the only letters that are illuminated are KILL ED. The Z on the keychain completes the sentence as he’s driving away after
Also, the sword Bruce Willis takes off the shelf in the pawn shop may be referenced in Kill Bill Vol. 2 when Bud, Bill’s Brother, tells Bill he pawned his Hattori Hanzo sword. 🤔
@@bradbloom5649 Except it turns it Bud didn’t pawn it. He lied.
I love how Butch dreams about his father's death, and the martial nature of his family, and his dad's watch, and then wakes; it's assumed this is part of his makeup, part of his motivation, part of why the watch means so much. But later he comments to his girl, that he never remembers his dreams. That's writing, that's how to establish a plot point, that's bloody brilliant.
Mia snorted Vincent´s heroine thinking it was cocaine (and heroin must be inyected with a needle). And Vincent goes a lot to the bath because he is an heroin addict, and that provokes you some kind of incontinence.
Vincent Vega (John Travolta), it´s the brother of Vic Vega (Michael Madsen, "Mr. Blonde"), who appears in Reservoir Dogs. An interesting fact.
And Suzanne Vega is their cousin
You guys figured out quite a piece of what fans were discussing on internet forums for years, congrats, lol
lol how can you go into pulp fiction not knowing it's quentin tarrantino? ... lol just kidding but i have to laugh! this is his masterpiece. but nearly everything he's made is a masterpiece.
58:40 So, when Jules says “Well yeah, I was sitting here eating my muffin…” You can HEAR this exact bit of dialogue in the BEGINNING of the movie, as background noise. You don’t think anything of it, but it does sort of “stick out” and is clearer than just normal background conversation. And then right after this, when Vincent walks to the bathroom.. also in the opening scene of the movie, you can SEE Vincent’s back walking to the bathroom holding his book. Again, you don’t have a clue that that’s anything important because it just seems like a background actor.
SO MANY details in this movie… it takes multiple watches to catch them all.
Great reaction guys! This is one of my top 5 favorite movies, but…. What was in the briefcase? 🤔😏
lol we think it was money but we also watched Resevoir dogs so we now think it could've possibly been Diamonds =D
Visited my son in LA, he took me out to lunch. We talked movies, (he works in LA, everything is movies). I could see him holding something back & was excited about it. Won't say how long it took but we were eating lunch when I realized we were sitting in the exact same booth Vincent & Jules sat in during the filming of this movie. OMG... Highly Recommended if you're ever in LA! It changes the way you feel when you watch this movie.
I don’t know when you visited your son in LA but The Hawthorne Grill which was the diner at the opening and ending scenes closed in 1996 and was demolished in 1999.
That would seriously be a freaking moment. That's so dope
Great reaction! I love your idea that this movie is really about a series of miracles.
Definitely the best reaction to this movie I've seen!
It's always fun to watch people watch Pulp Fiction for the first time.😀
(Not criticism, just a funny thought, here):
I laughed at the fact that "sit-down restaurants" in the U.S.A. are considered "fancy".
lol not all of them 😂😂
Just so you know, french fries with mayonnais is awesome. Try it!
