I never get tired of seeing reactions to Pulp Fiction! Such a great film that keeps you on the edge of your seat. You truly started your channel with a…bang 😎
It's hard to describe the impact this film had at release. I was already a movie junkie so I'd seen about everything worth seeing from blockbusters to indies and then THIS burst onto the scene and it honestly changed everything in the film world; even now its impact and unique, visceral effect is undeniable.
Mia and Vincent didn't win the dance contest, they stole the trophy. When Butch goes to get the watch someone on the radio when he is in the alley says the trophy was stolen. Butch keyed Vincent's car. Vincent Vega's cousin Vic Vega is a character in Reservoir Dogs. Vincent is always on the toilet at the wrong time b/c it is a symptom of his heroin addiction.
Good stuff! Jules, Vincent and Butch - each of them takes a life, then each of them saves a life. There's a tremendous amount of butt symbolism, always as a place of weakness. Pay attention to when and where food is used as well. Too much to list.
Great reaction! I love that you pause the movie to give your comments rather than talk over it. Looking forward to more reactions. 35:03 "What's in the box?". You'll have to watch Se7en to find that out! 😂
Actually that's not true. I love Shea but she often talked and didn't pause. For example, 8:46 is a great line that sets the entire scene that she talks over. She steps on Vincents: "Would you give a Guy a foot massage?" Jewels: "F You" LOL
I have probably seen this movie a couple hundred times or so, which means that I have memorized a lot of dialogue from it. Some great one liners which I ocassionally incorporate into my vocabulary. My favorite part of the movie is during the drug deal gone awry shooting in the apartment with the guy on the couch sporting 80s haircut. Samuel Jackson says to him "You, flock of seagulls..." and eventually wastes him with the handgun. Anyway, seeing this movie in a proper/arty theater for the first time made this even more memorable. In fitting fashion, I drank a couple of beers during it. Thanks for the reaction as you did a great job.
You picked quite the movie for your first reaction. Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies. There's two things you should know about Tarantino. He doesn't make movies, he crafts them. His dialogue is incredible, he weaves in and out of scenarios but always ties everything up. Second, he has a foot fetish. Women's feet are always popping up in his movies. Good job on your first reaction.
I get what you mean, but the distinction between "making" and "crafting" is splitting hairs at best. I personally find that sort of language pretentious.
I still think this is my second fav. 4 Rooms being my number 1. Pretty tight tie. And 4 Rooms is less known but both feel so 90's and remind me of a great time in my life.
@@solmarshalFour Rooms is a great movie. Tim Roth is great. Considering the stacked cast I'm surprised more people haven't seen it. Antonio Banderas, Quentin Tarantino, Salma Hayek, Bruce Willis, Madonna, Jennifer Beals.
I love that right off the bat you get that this movie is a comedy. A very dark and morbid comedy but a thoughtful one. One of the few reactors who understands this on initial viewing. You're like one of the few reactors I think i could legit hang out with in real life. And yeah the movie is endlessly quotable. Me and my friends have been quoting it since it came out in theaters.
What I´m telling now is stone true. The day I watched PulpFiction for the first time, my mouth went dry cause I couldn´t close it through the whole movie. EVERY SCENE in that movie was so out of this world at that time - unimaginable! Quentin really made his name with that. And I could sense your surprise in those scenes just like I experienced them. Astonishing!
Not my favorite Tarantino movie, but it's up there, and definitely one of his best, objectively speaking. People who love movies immediately recognized his greatness with Reservoir Dogs, but it was Pulp Fiction that launched him into superstardom as a writer/director.
Welcome to the reaction community! 😃 I really enjoyed this, the reaction is strong in you! I feel lucky to have stumbled upon your very first video and look forward to the next. Keep doing what you're doing here and good luck! 👍
Fun watching this movie with you. The show Mia was in is also the story of Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill. About female assassins each specialized in their own way of killing.
@@SHEAWHATSPLAYING : You were so turned on by that Gimp Costume, you're gonna' have to wear it for Halloween, now! You're gonna' be so comfortable inside of it! Yes, yes you will!
Hey Shea, really enjoyed your reactions on one of my top ten all time favorites. I do believe my top ten list has become overloaded though, there's is alot of great movies out there. You got a great start on your new show. Good comments and great movie picks. Wish you well and have fun, you're doing great. Cya next time!
I saw this in the movies at the suggestion of friends who saw Reservoir Dogs and couldn't stop praising this new kid director called Quinton Tarantino. The lack of a "normal" linear time progression was really impactful on me. It just opened a box full of options for storytelling. Not long after I rented Reservoir Dogs on VHS and have since watched every new Tarantino film as soon as its available to be seen. Everyone might have there favorite, but there are no truly bad Tarantino movies. I found The Hateful Eight as the most cinematographic among the nine present releases. Number ten is slated to be in the works some day.
Great reaction and SUPER GREAT movie to start with! Shout out to Alex for getting you started with a bang! My favorite scenes are any scenes with Samuel Jackson and John Travolta; the writing and chemistry in those scenes are off the charts. I hope you continue with your Tarantino journey; it's a wild ride! They're all great; but I'd recommend ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD as a follow-up to PULP FICTION. I think that you'll enjoy the dialogue, humor, action and pop culture references. Enjoy!
Thank you for discovering the pause button and neither sitting in silence instead of reacting nor talking over scenes and missing out on information. I know why some people do it differently, but... This is the way.
The soundtrack is basically just Tarantino's favorite tracks - like with most his movies, anything he loves that fits a scene. The Pulp Fiction OST is obviously an amazing compilation of fantastic tracks - one of the first CDs I owned - as well as movie being one of the first videos I bought :D
What, I half drunk stumble across your reaction video, and it turns out it's your first ever? It's like catching the first winter snow, or a four leaf clover. Well, I enjoyed it and definitely subscribed for more!
"Sorry, it's not funny!" - Yes, it is. When I saw this in the theater, for some reason I felt like I wasn't supposed to laugh and held it in. Then, when Christopher Walken said, "Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass," I lost it so hard I had to hold onto the seat back in front of me.
Terantino loves to do non-linear story telling. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight, are master classes in non-linear story telling. And all are worth a watch.
One of my all time fave films! ♥ the soundtrack is killer! So much iconic dialogue! ♥ Sam Jackson shoulda won an Oscar. Such a great performance! One of the most quotable movies of all time!
Now that you know the whole story, wait till you see it 3 more times at least! The more you watch it the more you realize how hilarious this movie is, how completely off the wall almost every person in the movie is, and how absolutely brilliant the dialogue/script is. There's a reason why it became an immediate cult classic. And yes, you will be quoting from this movie quite often.
my favorite moment ? when the wolf raises his coffee cup to Quentin acknowleging the prior sceen... so Shawshank Redemption for the next reaction s'il vous plait ...
Great Reaction. This movie almost makes me cry now, as it has a total different feel now with Bruce having so many problems with health. I used to have coffee with Bruce at Java on 4th St. Sun Valley Idaho, where he became a friend. Often he would Ride up on Grace, "Chopper" and one day gets a phone call, and he gets tears in his eyes. I asked him why he is getting choked up after the call, and he tells me he just won a Cannes Award for this movie, to which I just laghed and asked, what the fuck is pulp fiction, of which he called me such an asshole and told me to go watch the F-ing movie.... I think about this now, and never thought I would see a day when I am growing old, and his health is failing. Sad.
I watch a lot of reactions to movies by different people. This is the best one yet. Sarcasm and dry humor is the central to Pulp Fiction. It was fun to watch the movie and this reaction.😀😀🤣🤣
56k have watched your first ever reaction to this classic so far. You're a natural reactor, it's all in your face and expressions. I really enjoyed watching with you. In a film packed with quotes for days, I think my favourite is: "I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems". If you've ever been in trouble, you know how valuable the Winston Wolfs of this world are. Superb reaction.
This was a lot of fun! Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies and it's been a long time since I've watched it with someone seeing it for the first time. I look forward to more of these reactions. Good luck with the channel, not that you need it.... you obviously have a following.
Jack Rabbit Slim's is a theme restaurant. These were huge in the 90's. Restaurants would be completley designed around a theme like tropical, or jungle, or Egyptian, etc. The most famous of them was the Hard Rock Cafe, designed around rock and roll and filled with posters and memorabilia. JRS's is a 50's theme restaurant, thus the classic cars and the staff all dressed as famous people of the 50's; for example, the emcee is playing Ed Sullivan, who had a variety show on television for many years that was watched by basically everybody. It's really well done, but not a real place, more's the pity. I definitely would have gone there if it was.
My favorite part of the movie? When Harvey Keitel takes the sip of the coffee and it's so good he has to turn back to Quentin and acknowledge it. 😄 Also, the entire Mia Wallace section. And Christopher Walken acing that monologue, taking us through the different attitudes pop culture frames World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War! Christopher Walken got his Oscar and fame from playing a P.O.W. in "The Deer Hunter", a super iconic (and depressing) Vietnam film (one of the very first). So there's that kind of "meta" thing of him being the one to deliver this monologue. It's not just that it's Christopher Walken, great actor that we all love to see; it's that it's Nick from The Deer Hunter!😆
Great pick for first reaction 😂 Recommendations: - Death Proof (2007): it's another Tarantino movie - Napoleon Dynamite (2004): very funny and very chill - The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012): teen/come of age drama but not cliché at all
Quentin said he didn't know he was making a comedy until Travolta ad-libbed one line. After Travolta shoots Marvin in the back of the car, he was supposed to say, "Oh man, I shot Marvin." Travolta felt though that his character should say, "Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face." Quentin said that's when he realized he was making a comedy.
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies. It is bizarre, but it does tell an interesting story of morality. Garson is the French word for 'boy'. It was commonly used in restaurants to call the waiter. But since his waitress was a girl, she corrected him. 4:06 We see Vincent walking by on the way to the bathroom.
It's also a little condescending, you usually make eye contact with your server and raise your hand without snapping your fingers or snap your fingers if you want them to spit in your food and give a friendly smile.
Cool. I'm glad you're doing these. You should definitely go through all the Tarentino flicks. You should do series too. My suggestion is the first season of True Detective. Great work as usual. ✌️
The fact that you recognized "Buddy Holly".....and Harvey Keitel was priceless (and not something you always see in Pulp Fiction reactions!). Hope you eventually hit Tarantino's next movie "Jackie Brown" and his previous one, his debut: "Reservoir Dogs"). In fact, you should do them all....in order! He only has 9, and I'm sure you've probably seen at least one or two already! Subscribed! Looking forward to what else you're going to react to! I hope you mix it up (genres, different eras of movies, etc) and not get too bogged down in franchise land! Good luck.
And then I think you should wash down The silence of the Lambs with some Seven, and a bit of "the quest for the holy grail" with monty python, just so you get everything back to normal.
After so many times watching this movie, I think I understand Vincent's reaction to Butch. Vincent knew that if the fight didn't go as planned, he was going to have to kill Butch, and didn't want to be on a friendly basis with him in any capacity. He was probably staring Butch down to get an idea of what this guy is like.
That's a valid theory, but I think it was just more of an alpha dog vs. alpha dog situation. Two warriors, accustomed to being on the defense and so ready to go on the offense in a split second. Plus Vincent was dressed like a dork, therefore his presence didn't command the typical level of threat/respect it might otherwise have, therefore Butch's defenses were lowered, thus his mixed stare of surprise and puzzlement and anger.
Butch keyed Vincent's car because of his run in with him. It's early in the morning at the club and he must of deduced it was Vincent's car in the lot.
Also, he just returned from killing the guys with Marsellus Wallace's loot, accidentally blowing off Marvin's head and getting in a face-off with Ringo and Yolanda. He was probably in a bad mood after the start of his day.@@rabooey
The look on your face when the credits started! 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless!! Best of wishes for your journey into classic movies. You have a long way to go down this path. I am looking forward to seeing where it takes you.
As a German.. fries were invented in France or The Netherlands (debatable) , and putting mayo on them is completely normal there and in whole Europe, the only people I see really being grossed out and surprised about it actually are reactors from the US, no clue why, but it seems, you guys love your ketchup😄 best for me (and actually very common here, too) is using both on your fries, combining it take care😉
My brother in law spent some time in Germany with the military and said they have a mixture of ketchup and curry powder that they put on hotdogs. Now, this was a long time ago, and my memory is garbage, but that's the way I remember it. I tried it, and it's really good. Curry powder is now a must for my collection of spices.
Honestly, as an American, I used to think it was really weird that people would put mayonnaise on fries, but having thought about it off and on for years, I actually sort of get it. I've never tried it, but I can see how it would make sense. Mayonnaise gets used with other starchy foods, and we don't really question it. Most notably it's used on bread, for sandwiches. Bread and potatoes aren't really that different. So sure, put mayonnaise on fries too. Personally, I like a bit of salt, sometimes with vinegar, or some spices. I've also had fries with butter and that's good too. When I was a kid I liked ketchup a lot more than I do now. I think that's the main reason why ketchup on fries is so popular here. Ketchup is a bright-colored, inoffensive thing that kids will eat without any fuss. It gets associated with happy childhood memories, and so in adulthood, Americans find ketchup on fries to be a simple comfort food that reminds them of simple happy times, even if there are better things to eat and more sophisticated flavors available.
@@frankj10000 What was described to me was a curried ketchup as a condiment. I don't know, maybe it's just something someone he knew liked and not common. But curryworst sounds amazing! But I've personally put curry powder in ketchup and it's quite good, so says I. 😁
What a masterpiece. Such good dialogue, amazing acting, funny, don't know what to expect. My only gripe is the line said by Yolanda at the end doesn't match what she said at the beginning. I don't think that was intentional, so stands out as an unnecessary mistake.
It's not a mistake. It's a creative flourish. It's like the scenes are all being told from different perspectives. Jules may remember how she said the line a little differently.
@@JamilynParks Yes, it’s slightly less threatening the second time. Because now we know Jules is there and Jules is the most dangerous person in the restaurant.
Heroin is a downer. This is ideal for the situation as Vincent wants to keep things calm with Mia. Butch wants to eat the pop tart because he is skipping town quickly and missed his breakfast with Fabienne.
And for people who might be wondering about all the noise Butch was making,.. Marcellus crossing the road was him returning to Butch's apartment with donuts and coffee, so Vincent would be thinking it's just Marcellus back from the donut shop.
@@dsfddsgh You're right. But I meant more in terms of Travolta not coming out of the crapper sooner, from all the noise Butch was making. Butch comes in and hears nothing and sees nobody, so he decides to make pop-tarts before he left. He only saw the weapon after.
I'd have to say that Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite Tarantino movie. I think I first saw it when I was 12 or 13. Totally blew my mind 😅 My favorite part of this movie is when Vincent accidentally shoots Marvin in the face 😂 It just happens out of nowhere and he's acting so casual like he stepped on someone's toe or something. I really enjoyed your reaction. Can't wait to see more! I think you look more like Cate Blanchett than Uma Thurman
I cannot even imagine seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time in this decade... Like the whole experience must not be the same... Like we did not just have movies like this when it came out... We were just getting to know QT from Reservoir Dogs and True Romance when Pulp Fiction dropped and it was like a nuclear meltdown... You just knew hollywood would never be the same It spawned hundreds of wannabe Pulp Fiction-ish movies over the next several years and cemented QT as one of the biggest directors ever...
No, it was not. Reservoir Dogs in 1992 was. True Romance came out in 1993. Tarantino did not direct True Romance either. True Romance does not have better writing than Pulp Fiction.
@@lalalarose8197I don't think it is you could maybe argue PTA but Tarantino and PTA are probably the only American directors that can hold a candle with the great authors of cinema such as Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, and Bergman. Sure Steven Spielberg is the biggest director in America but he's got some duds like crystal skull and the BFG. Tarantino never once has missed on his work
@@lostinpictures509I respect your opinion. You gave me good alternatives such as Kubrick or Lynch. But there is just something about Tarantino I absolutely adore. No director has ever made me feel the way he does. I can't get as invested in any other Directors work the way I have with his and I've seen over 3000 films. I just think he is special and in 100 years will be looked on as the best American filmmaker. He's America's Shakespeare.
@@CT.1982 There's nothing wrong with really liking Tarantino and thinking he's great. He definitely deserves to be on the list of great American directors. But the absurdity of considering him the only great American director, or even one of only 2 great American directors is where your opinion starts to sound really absurd. I mean the irony of dismissing Spielberg because "he's got some duds" when PTA has like 2 profitable movies out of the 9 he's made, and only 3 that ever made any kind of waves (or even just ripples) in culture at all. I mean I personally really like PTA. But I think its an absolute joke that you have this shortlist of only 2 great American directors and he's one of them while you simultaneously dismiss the highest grossing director of all time, and likely the most influential filmmaker in the past 50 years. Come on man... I highly urge you to google "Extension765 Raiders". Extension765 is Steven Soderbergh's personal blog site, and a while back he uploaded Raiders of the Lost Ark in black and white and without any dialogue in a blog post where he discusses how much he loves Spielberg's staging. Do yourself a favor and take the time to watch that cut of the film when you get a chance. The whole film still makes sense without any sound because that's how efficient and effective Spielberg's choices were in how he blocked and staged each scene. Think of it this way - you only think there are 1, maybe 2 great American directors. One of them being a director that wouldn't crack most people's top 10 list. Where as the general consensus among people, including highly knowledgeable and experienced individuals who have worked entire careers in the film industry, obviously believe there are much more than just those two. So either all of those other people are less clever than you in some way, either in over valuing the directors or just not seeing whatever you see, OR you're missing out on something in your perspective and you're not seeing what those people see. Maybe you have the ego on you to think its the former. But I'm hoping thinking of it like that (along with watching that cut of Raiders), will get you to entertain the possibility that you're just missing some key factors in your perspective here, and maybe you'll be open to giving a lot of these other directors a legitimate chance in your head, and broaden your understanding and appreciation of good film making.
Saw this opening night. It opened in the smallest auditorium I've ever seen. There was maybe 20 people and we all died laughing. 7-8 weeks later it was selling out 400 seat auditoriums.
Sometime in 1995, we were driving from England to Spain, 1500 mile one way, and stopped for petrol and I noticed that they had the musical soundtrack cd on sale, so I bought it and everytime we drive to Spain, which is a lot, I put the cd on, no idea why but it does the job!
What first video on the channel, well gotta start with a banger, I see. Was a good reaction, looking forward to the rest of the classics. I love this movie. Just every scene has something, Vincent digging his grave deeper every time he goes to the toilet. Chris Walken doing the deadpan delivery watch monologue. The dancing, it's just full of classics and a soundtrack many got as an album back then. Personally this was my first Tarantino in the nineties though some friends some saw Reservoir Dogs before.

So ready to go on these movie journeys with you! Love your personality…instant subscribe 👍🏽
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for discovering the pause button and neither sitting in silence instead of reacting nor talking over scenes and missing out on information. I know why some people do it differently, but... This is the way.
The soundtrack is basically just Tarantino's favorite tracks - like with most his movies, anything he loves that fits a scene. The Pulp Fiction OST is obviously an amazing compilation of fantastic tracks - one of the first CDs I owned - as well as movie being one of the first videos I bought :D
What, I half drunk stumble across your reaction video, and it turns out it's your first ever? It's like catching the first winter snow, or a four leaf clover. Well, I enjoyed it and definitely subscribed for more!
"Sorry, it's not funny!" - Yes, it is. When I saw this in the theater, for some reason I felt like I wasn't supposed to laugh and held it in. Then, when Christopher Walken said, "Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass," I lost it so hard I had to hold onto the seat back in front of me.
And then later on when Butch says, "You know what he went thru to get me that watch? I don't have time to go into it right now, but it was... a lot!"
Stellar editing. I look forward to watching this channel explode. All the best from the UK. Subbed!
Thank you!!!!
Terantino loves to do non-linear story telling. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight, are master classes in non-linear story telling. And all are worth a watch.
Let's not leave out Django Unchained
@@BTAColorado that was definitely more linear
You forgot both kill bill movies also 🙂
@@BTAColoradoDjango was linear but it’s his best film
He likes to teach his audience something about his characters and scenes. That is not always done best in chronological order.
Congratulations on your new channel! The best reaction to a movie, ever!🙂
Aww thank you! Congratulations on your YT success!
Thank you! Let's collab in the future.🙂
One of my all time fave films! ♥ the soundtrack is killer! So much iconic dialogue! ♥
Sam Jackson shoulda won an Oscar. Such a great performance! One of the most quotable movies of all time!
Good start, buddy. Good reaction. Keep up the good work. Curious to see what is next out of the gate.
Now that you know the whole story, wait till you see it 3 more times at least! The more you watch it the more you realize how hilarious this movie is, how completely off the wall almost every person in the movie is, and how absolutely brilliant the dialogue/script is. There's a reason why it became an immediate cult classic. And yes, you will be quoting from this movie quite often.
my favorite moment ? when the wolf raises his coffee cup to Quentin acknowleging the prior sceen... so Shawshank Redemption for the next reaction s'il vous plait ...
Great Reaction. This movie almost makes me cry now, as it has a total different feel now with Bruce having so many problems with health. I used to have coffee with Bruce at Java on 4th St. Sun Valley Idaho, where he became a friend. Often he would Ride up on Grace, "Chopper" and one day gets a phone call, and he gets tears in his eyes. I asked him why he is getting choked up after the call, and he tells me he just won a Cannes Award for this movie, to which I just laghed and asked, what the fuck is pulp fiction, of which he called me such an asshole and told me to go watch the F-ing movie.... I think about this now, and never thought I would see a day when I am growing old, and his health is failing. Sad.
@alanmcclure9546 Thank you for sharing with us.
I watch tons of movie reactions and yours is great! That fact this was your first, is awesome. There are SO MANY more great movies for you to watch!
BTW did you know they did the needle in the heart scene by doing it in reverse? He pulled it out, and they played it backwards :)
OMG! Thanks for reacting to Pulp Fiction. I look forward to your next movie reaction.
You were made for this reaction platform. To handle this film as your first reaction was excellent. Love from the UK ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulation Shea! You have a future in this business. Please don't give up.
I watch a lot of reactions to movies by different people. This is the best one yet. Sarcasm and dry humor is the central to Pulp Fiction. It was fun to watch the movie and this reaction.😀😀🤣🤣
Thank you! :)
56k have watched your first ever reaction to this classic so far. You're a natural reactor, it's all in your face and expressions. I really enjoyed watching with you. In a film packed with quotes for days, I think my favourite is: "I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems". If you've ever been in trouble, you know how valuable the Winston Wolfs of this world are. Superb reaction.
This was a lot of fun! Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies and it's been a long time since I've watched it with someone seeing it for the first time. I look forward to more of these reactions. Good luck with the channel, not that you need it.... you obviously have a following.
Which is better? Forrest Gump or Pulp Fiction?
@@mikerodgers7620 To me? Pulp Fiction. Forrest Gump is good, but since the first time I saw it I've always thought it was a bit overrated.
@@JamilynParks I see.
Jack Rabbit Slim's is a theme restaurant. These were huge in the 90's. Restaurants would be completley designed around a theme like tropical, or jungle, or Egyptian, etc. The most famous of them was the Hard Rock Cafe, designed around rock and roll and filled with posters and memorabilia. JRS's is a 50's theme restaurant, thus the classic cars and the staff all dressed as famous people of the 50's; for example, the emcee is playing Ed Sullivan, who had a variety show on television for many years that was watched by basically everybody. It's really well done, but not a real place, more's the pity. I definitely would have gone there if it was.
I learned about Vanilla Coke from that scene. Been addicted ever since.
@@jytte-hilden I still wish I could have one of those $5 shakes. :)
Definitely enjoyed that. Looking forward to more.
My favorite part of the movie? When Harvey Keitel takes the sip of the coffee and it's so good he has to turn back to Quentin and acknowledge it. 😄 Also, the entire Mia Wallace section. And Christopher Walken acing that monologue, taking us through the different attitudes pop culture frames World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War! Christopher Walken got his Oscar and fame from playing a P.O.W. in "The Deer Hunter", a super iconic (and depressing) Vietnam film (one of the very first). So there's that kind of "meta" thing of him being the one to deliver this monologue. It's not just that it's Christopher Walken, great actor that we all love to see; it's that it's Nick from The Deer Hunter!😆
Christopher Walken is a great actor, works hard, and he loves being in movies, he pretty much takes any job he gets offered.
Carlie, if you loved this you NEED to add 'Jackie Brown' to your list
Great one to start with. Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill would be good ones to do next for Tarantino.
A+ reaction!! Subbed!
Great pick for first reaction 😂
Recommendations:
- Death Proof (2007): it's another Tarantino movie
- Napoleon Dynamite (2004): very funny and very chill
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012): teen/come of age drama but not cliché at all
My favorite Tarantino movie! Great reaction! i subd!
Edit: Do one about True romance hard violence! Also work from Tarantino (script). You love it!
Quentin said he didn't know he was making a comedy until Travolta ad-libbed one line. After Travolta shoots Marvin in the back of the car, he was supposed to say, "Oh man, I shot Marvin." Travolta felt though that his character should say, "Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face." Quentin said that's when he realized he was making a comedy.
Great stuff, epic to be in at the beginning of your reactions journey - subbed!
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies. It is bizarre, but it does tell an interesting story of morality.
Garson is the French word for 'boy'. It was commonly used in restaurants to call the waiter. But since his waitress was a girl, she corrected him.
4:06 We see Vincent walking by on the way to the bathroom.
It's also a little condescending, you usually make eye contact with your server and raise your hand without snapping your fingers or snap your fingers if you want them to spit in your food and give a friendly smile.
4:07
I've seen this movie like a hundred times and never fucking noticed. Thanks!
I hate to be that guy, but it’s garçon
@@maegalodonusSame here, thank you, OP.
The fight happened after Mia almost od , you can see her and Vincent say something about when Marcellus walks into Butch's training room
I so happy I found you again.. I was with you in the beginning.. and you left? Please stay tuned!
Cool. I'm glad you're doing these. You should definitely go through all the Tarentino flicks.
You should do series too. My suggestion is the first season of True Detective.
Great work as usual. ✌️
Thanks! Will do!
@@SHEAWHATSPLAYING you won't regret it, probably the best short-series in history of television(at least the first season). :D
Such an easy decision to subscribe, after having enjoyed your music reactions for so many years! Welcome to the big screen!
I loved your reaction a lot!! This is one of my favs movies ever. Your eyes says too much!!! I like how you enjoyed it! For me, a masterpiece.
Thank you so much!!
It was the absolute perfect movie to choose for your first reaction. Hands. Down.
The fact that you recognized "Buddy Holly".....and Harvey Keitel was priceless (and not something you always see in Pulp Fiction reactions!). Hope you eventually hit Tarantino's next movie "Jackie Brown" and his previous one, his debut: "Reservoir Dogs"). In fact, you should do them all....in order! He only has 9, and I'm sure you've probably seen at least one or two already! Subscribed! Looking forward to what else you're going to react to! I hope you mix it up (genres, different eras of movies, etc) and not get too bogged down in franchise land! Good luck.
For your first reaction, you chose a movie that will never get out of your head.
This was a laugh, loved to watch along with you, thank you.
Do Silence of the Lambs next, you need a cute, easy movie to recover from all this crazy.
I agree with cute and easy, but I was thinking more along the lines of The Princess Bride.
Wasn't it in the running for best romcom the year it came out?
And then I think you should wash down The silence of the Lambs with some Seven, and a bit of "the quest for the holy grail" with monty python, just so you get everything back to normal.
After a rough movie like this, a nice movie about sheep will ease the nerves.
The foot massage dialogue is pure Tarantino 🤣🤣
After so many times watching this movie, I think I understand Vincent's reaction to Butch. Vincent knew that if the fight didn't go as planned, he was going to have to kill Butch, and didn't want to be on a friendly basis with him in any capacity. He was probably staring Butch down to get an idea of what this guy is like.
That's a valid theory, but I think it was just more of an alpha dog vs. alpha dog situation. Two warriors, accustomed to being on the defense and so ready to go on the offense in a split second. Plus Vincent was dressed like a dork, therefore his presence didn't command the typical level of threat/respect it might otherwise have, therefore Butch's defenses were lowered, thus his mixed stare of surprise and puzzlement and anger.
@@rabooey Agreed with this take.
Or, it was a karma type moment, Vincent doesnt learn from the chances he is offered, so he dies at the hand of someone he was cruel to earlier.
Butch keyed Vincent's car because of his run in with him. It's early in the morning at the club and he must of deduced it was Vincent's car in the lot.
Also, he just returned from killing the guys with Marsellus Wallace's loot,
accidentally blowing off Marvin's head and getting in a face-off with Ringo and Yolanda. He was probably in a bad mood after the start of his day.@@rabooey
Quentin Terantino's "Four Rooms" is one of my all time favorite movies LOL - I love that he uses the same actors/actresses in his movies
It's not Tarantino's movie. Each of the rooms was made by a different director.
It kinda sucks, except for Tarantino's room.
The look on your face when the credits started! 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless!! Best of wishes for your journey into classic movies. You have a long way to go down this path. I am looking forward to seeing where it takes you.
As a German.. fries were invented in France or The Netherlands (debatable) , and putting mayo on them is completely normal there and in whole Europe, the only people I see really being grossed out and surprised about it actually are reactors from the US, no clue why, but it seems, you guys love your ketchup😄 best for me (and actually very common here, too) is using both on your fries, combining it take care😉
My brother in law spent some time in Germany with the military and said they have a mixture of ketchup and curry powder that they put on hotdogs. Now, this was a long time ago, and my memory is garbage, but that's the way I remember it. I tried it, and it's really good. Curry powder is now a must for my collection of spices.
from what i heared american mayo tastes different and it doesnt fit ... but then thats them for fucking up an easy stuff like mayo xD
Honestly, as an American, I used to think it was really weird that people would put mayonnaise on fries, but having thought about it off and on for years, I actually sort of get it. I've never tried it, but I can see how it would make sense. Mayonnaise gets used with other starchy foods, and we don't really question it. Most notably it's used on bread, for sandwiches. Bread and potatoes aren't really that different. So sure, put mayonnaise on fries too. Personally, I like a bit of salt, sometimes with vinegar, or some spices. I've also had fries with butter and that's good too. When I was a kid I liked ketchup a lot more than I do now. I think that's the main reason why ketchup on fries is so popular here. Ketchup is a bright-colored, inoffensive thing that kids will eat without any fuss. It gets associated with happy childhood memories, and so in adulthood, Americans find ketchup on fries to be a simple comfort food that reminds them of simple happy times, even if there are better things to eat and more sophisticated flavors available.
@@raum_dellamorte I guess you're referring to "Currywurst" (curry sausage). It's extremely popular in Germany. Not really a hot dog though.
@@frankj10000 What was described to me was a curried ketchup as a condiment. I don't know, maybe it's just something someone he knew liked and not common. But curryworst sounds amazing! But I've personally put curry powder in ketchup and it's quite good, so says I. 😁
Oh wow! You doing movies now?!!! I'm in. Can't wait to see your reactions to all my favorites!
What a masterpiece. Such good dialogue, amazing acting, funny, don't know what to expect.
My only gripe is the line said by Yolanda at the end doesn't match what she said at the beginning.
I don't think that was intentional, so stands out as an unnecessary mistake.
It's not a mistake. It's a creative flourish. It's like the scenes are all being told from different perspectives. Jules may remember how she said the line a little differently.
@@JamilynParks Yes, it’s slightly less threatening the second time. Because now we know Jules is there and Jules is the most dangerous person in the restaurant.
Wow. Your reaction was one of the best on TH-cam. You react better than most of the reactors who have over 100K subscribers!
Heroin is a downer. This is ideal for the situation as Vincent wants to keep things calm with Mia.
Butch wants to eat the pop tart because he is skipping town quickly and missed his breakfast with Fabienne.
And for people who might be wondering about all the noise Butch was making,.. Marcellus crossing the road was him returning to Butch's apartment with donuts and coffee, so Vincent would be thinking it's just Marcellus back from the donut shop.
@@therewasacrookedman5892 Butch didn't know that though so he should have been more quiet.
@@dsfddsgh You're right. But I meant more in terms of Travolta not coming out of the crapper sooner, from all the noise Butch was making.
Butch comes in and hears nothing and sees nobody, so he decides to make pop-tarts before he left. He only saw the weapon after.
You cut this movie pretty perfectly. 🔥
I'd have to say that Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite Tarantino movie. I think I first saw it when I was 12 or 13. Totally blew my mind 😅 My favorite part of this movie is when Vincent accidentally shoots Marvin in the face 😂 It just happens out of nowhere and he's acting so casual like he stepped on someone's toe or something. I really enjoyed your reaction. Can't wait to see more! I think you look more like Cate Blanchett than Uma Thurman
You're young. See Reservoir Dogs.
@mikerodgers7620 I tried. Didn't really grab my attention. I'll have to try again sometime, though.
@@FutureBoy85 Well the one setting scenes are not for everyone. But the acting was great just like in the Unusual Suspects.
There is a reason why this Movie is still playing EVERY DAY somewhere 30 years later.
It's probably okay to quote the OLD Testament when you're about to Massacre somebody. There's lots of that kind of stuff in there.
Hahahaha, your face as the credits start is the best reaction I've ever seen!
I cannot even imagine seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time in this decade... Like the whole experience must not be the same... Like we did not just have movies like this when it came out... We were just getting to know QT from Reservoir Dogs and True Romance when Pulp Fiction dropped and it was like a nuclear meltdown... You just knew hollywood would never be the same It spawned hundreds of wannabe Pulp Fiction-ish movies over the next several years and cemented QT as one of the biggest directors ever...
Yeah, this is a culturally significant film, not merely a great film.
You are the perfect audience for this movie. Tarantino would love this.
'True Romance' was 'QUENTIN'S 1ST FILM. A great cast & EVEN BETTER WRITING.
No, it was not. Reservoir Dogs in 1992 was. True Romance came out in 1993.
Tarantino did not direct True Romance either.
True Romance does not have better writing than Pulp Fiction.
Thoroughly entertaining commentary. You're a blast.
Thank you!!!😊
Definitely go through all Tarantino's filmography. He is the greatest American filmmaker no question. Every movie he has made is essential viewing.
He’s good, great even, but to say he’s the best ever is rather hyperbolic
@@lalalarose8197I don't think it is you could maybe argue PTA but Tarantino and PTA are probably the only American directors that can hold a candle with the great authors of cinema such as Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, and Bergman. Sure Steven Spielberg is the biggest director in America but he's got some duds like crystal skull and the BFG. Tarantino never once has missed on his work
@@lostinpictures509I respect your opinion. You gave me good alternatives such as Kubrick or Lynch. But there is just something about Tarantino I absolutely adore. No director has ever made me feel the way he does. I can't get as invested in any other Directors work the way I have with his and I've seen over 3000 films. I just think he is special and in 100 years will be looked on as the best American filmmaker. He's America's Shakespeare.
@@lostinpictures509 lynch is definitely up there. Blue Velvet and lost highway are masterpieces
@@CT.1982 There's nothing wrong with really liking Tarantino and thinking he's great. He definitely deserves to be on the list of great American directors. But the absurdity of considering him the only great American director, or even one of only 2 great American directors is where your opinion starts to sound really absurd. I mean the irony of dismissing Spielberg because "he's got some duds" when PTA has like 2 profitable movies out of the 9 he's made, and only 3 that ever made any kind of waves (or even just ripples) in culture at all. I mean I personally really like PTA. But I think its an absolute joke that you have this shortlist of only 2 great American directors and he's one of them while you simultaneously dismiss the highest grossing director of all time, and likely the most influential filmmaker in the past 50 years. Come on man...
I highly urge you to google "Extension765 Raiders". Extension765 is Steven Soderbergh's personal blog site, and a while back he uploaded Raiders of the Lost Ark in black and white and without any dialogue in a blog post where he discusses how much he loves Spielberg's staging. Do yourself a favor and take the time to watch that cut of the film when you get a chance. The whole film still makes sense without any sound because that's how efficient and effective Spielberg's choices were in how he blocked and staged each scene.
Think of it this way - you only think there are 1, maybe 2 great American directors. One of them being a director that wouldn't crack most people's top 10 list. Where as the general consensus among people, including highly knowledgeable and experienced individuals who have worked entire careers in the film industry, obviously believe there are much more than just those two. So either all of those other people are less clever than you in some way, either in over valuing the directors or just not seeing whatever you see, OR you're missing out on something in your perspective and you're not seeing what those people see.
Maybe you have the ego on you to think its the former. But I'm hoping thinking of it like that (along with watching that cut of Raiders), will get you to entertain the possibility that you're just missing some key factors in your perspective here, and maybe you'll be open to giving a lot of these other directors a legitimate chance in your head, and broaden your understanding and appreciation of good film making.
"Who picked this movie? Was it you?"
Lady, I don't even know who you are
Saw this opening night. It opened in the smallest auditorium I've ever seen. There was maybe 20 people and we all died laughing. 7-8 weeks later it was selling out 400 seat auditoriums.
It was great! Perfect start. I laughed My ass of. I think It went better than you know. Greetings from Finland :)
Sometime in 1995, we were driving from England to Spain, 1500 mile one way, and stopped for petrol and I noticed that they had the musical soundtrack cd on sale, so I bought it and everytime we drive to Spain, which is a lot, I put the cd on, no idea why but it does the job!
This was an absolutely WONDERFUL reaction. Subscribed!
Excellent reaction. Surprising that was your first one.
I love this movie. I loved your reaction. Perfect edit!
Awesome reaction! You got a new sub, for that. 😉
Good memories, remember seeing it for the first time back in '95 as a youngster. Been a top 10 ever since.
You set the bar quite high for your first movie reaction. I still remember the response to this in the theater. Gotta watch Reservoir Dogs next!
What first video on the channel, well gotta start with a banger, I see. Was a good reaction, looking forward to the rest of the classics.
I love this movie. Just every scene has something, Vincent digging his grave deeper every time he goes to the toilet. Chris Walken doing the deadpan delivery watch monologue. The dancing, it's just full of classics and a soundtrack many got as an album back then. Personally this was my first Tarantino in the nineties though some friends some saw Reservoir Dogs before.
I mix ketchup and mayonnaise 1:1 ratio and its great for really anything including fries.
where is this woman at nowadays this was 10 months ago your reaction is fun
