For those who don't know, you can safely do a lot more coke than you can heroin. so she measured out a cocaine line (much bigger) not realizing it was heroin and accidentally ODed.
So many people overlook that. When I first saw that in 1994, I was like..."Is she SNORTING Vincents Heroin?!" Even Vincents heroin friend mentions that, but lots of people just think that she just OD'ed because of doing lines all night. NO... She Od'ed because she snorted what Vincent had to do chemistry stuff too before injecting it in his veins not snorting it without refining it.
They did not kill Marvin in the apartment because Marvin was an insider working for Marcellus. Jules knew him. He was the "one of ours" Jules and Vincent mentioned before going into the apartment. When Vincent shot him in the car it was a complete accident.
With all due respect I can't believe you, just not possible. If you didn't "catch" something so obvious, you may need to watch this masterpiece a thousand more times 🙏🏾 @@MegazoneMusic23
You know, it never occurred to me before now, I think Butch's GF was trying to tell him she was pregnant. All that talk about getting a potbelly was testing the waters to see how he'd handle it, having a craving in the morning for the pancakes... i think when she seemed to have something to tell him but he fell asleep, that was it!
that makes sense! I always found it cool that the last scene of the movie chronologically speaking, is when Butch rides off on Zeds chopper with his GF and the money! :) -When their kid inherits the watch he is in for a HELLUVA wild story! LOL
@Joker ... That watch is a curse! I wouldn't want it. (Joking, but.. Everybody that owned that watch went to war or killed somebody for it.. Or had it "inside" him without even being its own d*mn watch!
yeah man. the script just said "i shot marvin", and it was travolta's idea to add "in the face". tarantino loved it, kept it in, and here we are. much funnier this way.
The Wolf isn't just there to tell them to clean, he's there to tell them how to clean the car, make sure it gets disposed of, tie up loose ends (Jimmy's comforters), and make sure it's done with maximum effectiveness within the limited time they have. He's what they call a "fixer".
I've watched this film more times than I can possibly remember, but I've never considered that the point of the watch is that its a curse. Facinating! Sincerely.
wow! So well said, "She's being a female." I do not think I have ever heard such honest answer from a woman say this about flirting situations. I love the honesty, along with the good morals of people, and both you ladies had such a good honest evaluation mixed with forthought and morality in your watch of this movie. Both of you were so wonderful and refreshing,, Beautiful Reaction by Beautiful Ladies!!! GODBless
Vincent didn't want to kill Marvin (the guy in the car). His gun just went off -- he said "must have gone over a bump or something". Marvin was their informer about the other guys stealing from Wallace
I love this movie, but it is such a super intense film. My favorite Quentin Tarantino film is Jackie Brown. A much more chill movie with great characters and performances.
I'm sorry but "is she going to sneeze?" is about the funniest thing I've ever heard in response to this movie, and that's decades of feedback 😅 😂😂 17:53. ❤❤❤
Martin and Lewis were a comedy duo of white actors. Amos and Andy were first a radio and later a tv comedy with black characters. The waiter was asking whether she wanted her milkshake to be vanilla or chocolate. In today’s money, the milkshake would be around $18-20. And this was before Starbucks.
31:16 Few people realize that the title of the book is another typically ironic Tarantino allusion: "Modesty Blaise" is a super-smart agent in the style of James Bond, who is characterized above all by the fact that she is always one step ahead of her opponents. Vincent Vegas reads the book, but does exactly the opposite of what one would call smart.
LOL. You two are so adorable!! When you laughed about the ketchup joke, it made me smile. I love your reactions! Keep them coming!! I subscribed to your channel!!!
The case is what's known in fiction as a MacGuffin. The point being that it doesn't matter what's in it, only that it's something everyone wants, a thing to move the story along. It would have been very easy for Tarantino to specify that it's gold, drugs or whatever but it's fun that he left it up to the viewer. The actual prop case contained a yellow light bulb, a battery pack and a switch.
At the time many speculated that it was Wallace's soul in the suitcase and why its so beautiful also tied to the bandaid on the back of Wallace's neck was a deal with the devil for his soul to gain even more power in the real world.
Butch didn't leave Marcellus behind because at the end of the day, he was a warrior and despite what he did in the boxing match, he still had some semblance of honor and an honorable person would not leave their enemy to a fate worse than death and there's a lot of symbolism in that scene of the warriors way, it's why he chose the Katana over everything else, and why he waited for guy to turn around before killing him and why he refused to kill Zed and instructed him to pick up the gun before doing so
28:46 😂😂😂 i love this line " do you have any idea what he had to go through to get me that watch? ... I don't have time to go into it but he went through a lot" 😂😂😂
@@isaackellogg3493 yes I know what he meant. My point is that Butch could easily knock out Vincent but Vincent is a gangster who doesn’t give a f**k saying that to him. I guess It also doesn’t hurt to have M. Wallace right there knowing you can say that and get away with it.
@@isaackellogg3493 i see comments a lot saying that palooka is a boxer paid to dive... but that's not accurate.. at all.. "Palooka" refers to a character in a comic strip in the 1920's who was a below average crappy boxer.. who didn't really want to fight.. so when the term palooka is used, it's usually to refer to a low level boxer, a lazy boxer, inexperienced.. etc... nothing at all to do with "taking a dive" .. butch just happens to be taking money to "go down in the 5th" because marcellus wants him to and he's really not getting a choice anyway.. Vincent calls him "palooka" because he's a washed up boxer.. then calls him "punchy" for the same reason.. just general fighter insults.. nothing to do with taking a dive..
@@texastyrannyresponseteam794 thank you for the new information. It seems I have misinformed myself. I shall correct myself in relevant comments hereafter.
You pointed out some really cool things I never thought of: he should have gone with Mia when he had the chance after all because he still wound up dead, either way! And the close up when Vincent shakes Mia's hand; you pointed out that she said that's all Tony Rocky Horror ever did to her, was shake her hand....and he still wound up thrown off a balcony! Very cool. Thanks!
Although Butch considers American names to o carry no particular meaning, in fact his own name means tough, masculine, and tending towards physical fitness and aggressiveness. In other words, it is an ideal name to describe a boxer, which is his profession.
10:40 "don't be a square"....it's American slang, people don't say it as often anymore, but it means "don't be a drag" or "don't be someone who is not adventurous and does not like to do fun things" 🙂 13:39 see, now that you guys have seen the 5 USD shake scene, next time you order a high quality milkshake, you gotta do that: say "goddamn that is a fucking good milkshake! I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty fucking good" lmao 51:18 you can buy that wallet, miramax sells them, they're made in usa 🙂
Rosanna Arquette's (Jody) response to the adrenaline is my favorite scene. Rosanna's Brother/Sister is Alexis (then known as Robert Arquette). The guy who comes out of the bathroom firing missing both Jules and Vincent.
The hand gesture Mia made is a reference to an old US English phrase "Don't be a square", which means "don't be too coward or boring to do something fun and exiciting", but she drew a rectangle to air so she got it wrong. I'm sure it was an intentional joke.
And just to add a little more useless trivia. This was from the 1940s, 50s and 60s era, and apparently started with Jazz and beatnik types saying "be there or be square". That dotted square (in this case, rectangle) appearing was used periodically in tv shows and movies from that era (I recall it being in a Flintstone's cartoon that was way before my time, I swear. I just saw it on reruns as a kid). I have seen it said that it has to do with cool people being at a place, i.e. "being around", as in "a round". Since squares aren't round... I dunno if this is true, as I don't think beatniks were that geometrically minded but... who knows.
This is one of my favorite films. the dialog is amazing and the irony is crazy. Obviously, if Jewels hadn't had his religious experience, he would have been in Butch's apartment that day and Vincent would have lived and Butch would have died and Marcellous never gets raped.... Its a wild string of events. And I love the ending. QT films have the best dialog in my opinion.
Gas prices were about a buck in 1994. A milkshake would have been about $1-$2, so a 5 dollar shake was kinda crazy then. I saw this movie twice opening night in LA and again that weekend in Vegas. Was a special event, and this movie was different than anything seen before. Oh, and the dance scene at Jack Rabbit Slim's was met with roars from the crowd. To see Travolta dance on the big screen after disappearing from Hollywood for many years was a treat.
Back in the early 90s no one was supposed to say the N word but it wasn't the huge societal crime that it is today. People who ran in certain circles did whatever they wanted to do. So Jimmy being married to Bonnie and friends with Jules meant those in his circle wouldn't have taken offense. J.Lo had a similar problem years later with a song she did with Ja Rule. That was around the time people started wanting the word outlawed. Either way the characters in this movie are outlaws so they're supposed to do bad things.
That and ive also heard that in the films backstory Jimmy and Jules go waaayyy back, are close friends, and Jimmy may have even helped Jules out of a bad spot at one point. At any rate like u said, Jules didnt take it as disrespect bc they all run in the same circles, and theyre gangsters, not Starbucks baristas.
@@DaveyNaples He grew up on blaxploitation films. If you want to think negative things about it, fine. But the average person, real people, weren't clutching their pearls about his dialogue at the time. Fancy white guilt types were. But normal people got it.
@antoinettelopes it doesn't matter what you grew up with and when you say 'normal people' I assume you mean people with your point of view. But it's untrue to say there was no objection to it at the time, there was a huge row between him and Spike Lee for instance. Also, to say that people were ok with it at the time, simply shows how purvesive and open racial dialogue was, which is a reflection of what society was like.
@@DaveyNaples Spike Lee was pissed that SLJ was bros with QT. He was responsible for so much divisiveness. I remember Spike saying that white and black people should be SEPARATE but equal. I can't tell you how hilarious it was to watch him on one of those ancestry shows sitting in his white relative's living room. He grew out of a lot of his anti-white sentiments but he was the racebaiter back in the day.
Jules changes his life.... he spent a few years traveling under and assumed name. Later he decided to join military intelligence and ended up being very successful. The new name he used was Nick Fury.
I always wondered how Vincent was able to go to the bathroom so much... He was a heroin addict - constipation is a reality that hitman had to deal with
Plus the bathroom is his test. He constantly gets in trouble after going to the bathroom: Mia overdoses, robbery and then his killing. If he had sensed the "miracle" like Jewels he never would have died.
Fun Facts: “Jimmy” , the guy whose house they used to clean up the mess is Quentin Tarantino, the Director of the movie. Also, Zed’s motorcycle, “Grace” actually belongs to Bruce Willis in real life..
Quentin Tarantino is a genius dark comedy writer. The watch scene with Christopher Walken is so damn funny and it keeps building worse and worse. He said his father died of dysentery after five years of holding the watch up his ass. Dysentery is a highly contagious gastrointestinal infection where the primary symptom is perpetual bloody diarrhea. Here you go kid.
The way I look at it both Jules and Vincent had a chance to accept God into their lives after the shooting Jules accepted God and lived Vincent denied the miracle and died.. Now I don't think Tarantino was making any kind of religious statement I just think he thought it was a great plot idea.
Edmond Hoyle was an authority on card games, and codified the official rules of many different games. “According to Hoyle” means “adhering to the officially recognized standard.”
No one ever catches that the drug dealer basically gave Vincent an open invitation to his house with the "mi casa es su casa" line. Kind of like extending an invitation to a vampire to enter your house. 😂
They went to a 1950's themed restaurant... so when she said "Don't be a square" she used a 1950's slang term for don't be lame. $5 shake then is like $12 in today's money ... a little steep for milk and ice cream.
Vincent was in the rest room often, because heroin makes addicts constipated... (Mia snorted heroin, which made her OD)... the book he had was "Pulp Fiction" - Bonnie's husband with the great coffee, was played by the writer/director, Quinton Tarrantino.
I love the misdirection with Mia and Vincent. You know that Marcellus is a jealous man with violence tendencies, so the closer they get the more you suspect that he’s going to have sex with her and seal his fate. And then she finds his heroin…
Sooo many great actors! No real heroes, all anti-heroes. It was a totally different vibe rooting for the various bad guys as protagonists...then having them cross each other. The dark humour is of course the best part. This was Quentin Tarrentino's second film. Really solidified his position in the film industry and revitalized John Travolta's career. Check out "Death Proof", another Tarrentino film with several awesome ladies as protagonists, and includes several location shots in and around Austin Texas that used to be part of my stomping grounds way back in the day.❤
Not necessarily. Marcellus was there waiting with Vincent, but he had gone for a walk to grab coffee and donuts for the two of them. if Jules were there he may have been the one walking to get breakfast.
Jules did leave the life. That's why when Butch goes back to his apartment it's Vincent there without Jules. Vincent was actually staking out Butch's place with Marsellus who had left to pick up coffee and donuts. This is why Marsellus was just down the street when Butch saw him and ran him over. You could even say Jules leaving the Hitman game saved his life because he wasn't at the apartment to get killed by Butch ,Vincent was.
Damn, watched this movie a million times, never thought of that. I thought Marcellus just happened to be in the neighborhood. Never thought that he was getting food to go back with Vincent to stakeout Butches crib. Thanks
Jules wouldnt have been as stupid as Vincent. Jules maybe even would have ordered Vincent to not place his weapon anywhere in the appartment alsone. It would have probably Butch who would have been killed in this scenario. Your observation about why Marsellus was around is great, would have never spotted this myself.
In the 90’s heroin was a big thing in counter culture movies. Check out Killing Zoe. It’s written and directed by Roger Avery who co wrote Pulp Fiction.
If you haven't seen it already, I would love to see your reaction to Jackie Brown. Quentin Tarantino made that movie after this one. Samuel Jackson is in that one too. Not as wild as this film but has some great stuff in it. A really cool story.
She overdosed because she was snorting coke all night, but the bag she found in Vincent's pocket was heroin.
not just any heroin either, >China white. hehe
Madman. Because the dealer ran out of balloons the normal container for H and only had baggies the normal container for C.
A shit ton of heroin
For those who don't know, you can safely do a lot more coke than you can heroin. so she measured out a cocaine line (much bigger) not realizing it was heroin and accidentally ODed.

dont be a square. its an old term meaning "dont be lame. be fun."
it's only a rectangle because of the movie aspect.
@@zedwpd
EXACTLY! Finally someone gets it. Quentin changed the screen formatting, so it became a rectangle.
They did not kill Marvin in the apartment because Marvin was an insider working for Marcellus. Jules knew him. He was the "one of ours" Jules and Vincent mentioned before going into the apartment. When Vincent shot him in the car it was a complete accident.
After watching this movie 100's of times.. Im sadly blown away that what you said was true.. I never realized that!!
Well I learned something new today.
Don’t feel bad. There is alot of small things like like to catch in this movie. Most great movies.
With all due respect I can't believe you, just not possible. If you didn't "catch" something so obvious, you may need to watch this masterpiece a thousand more times 🙏🏾 @@MegazoneMusic23
It was NOT an accident. Either passive-aggressive Vincent decided he didn't like Marvin. OR, Wallace told Vince, no witnesses.
You know, it never occurred to me before now, I think Butch's GF was trying to tell him she was pregnant. All that talk about getting a potbelly was testing the waters to see how he'd handle it, having a craving in the morning for the pancakes... i think when she seemed to have something to tell him but he fell asleep, that was it!

Yes, that stuff about her belly was blatantly about pregnancy.
I never picked that up either, but I think you’re right?!
Vincent didn't mean to shoot Marvin. Marvin was the one who warned Marcellus Wallace that his friends were planning to betray him.
Yet god wanted him dead. He betrayed his own friends for the profit of Marcellus' favor, most likely.
You know the expression, "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy?" That's why Butch went back for Marcellus.
Lolz I never thought of it that way but that's exactly what went down
@mattlawrence1932 Right?! Of course that's EXACTLY it yet that expression never crossed my mind!🤯🤯
Hardly, he went back mainly for revenge and for his own good. The day before he ended up killing a man in the ring and he couldn't care less.
No… Butch went back for his own selfish interest, to not being hunted down by Marsellus endlessly.
Butch going back, helped him. Also he was thinking that, it could have been him instead of Marcellus in that room.
Both of you are rationnal and sincere. That's good to see sane people who don't overreact like bad comedians. Sane and smart. Thanks

@@DaveyNaples He grew up on blaxploitation films. If you want to think negative things about it, fine. But the average person, real people, weren't clutching their pearls about his dialogue at the time. Fancy white guilt types were. But normal people got it.
@antoinettelopes it doesn't matter what you grew up with and when you say 'normal people' I assume you mean people with your point of view. But it's untrue to say there was no objection to it at the time, there was a huge row between him and Spike Lee for instance. Also, to say that people were ok with it at the time, simply shows how purvesive and open racial dialogue was, which is a reflection of what society was like.
@@DaveyNaples Spike Lee was pissed that SLJ was bros with QT. He was responsible for so much divisiveness. I remember Spike saying that white and black people should be SEPARATE but equal. I can't tell you how hilarious it was to watch him on one of those ancestry shows sitting in his white relative's living room. He grew out of a lot of his anti-white sentiments but he was the racebaiter back in the day.
Great reaction! 🎬
u guys are great
Jules changes his life.... he spent a few years traveling under and assumed name. Later he decided to join military intelligence and ended up being very successful. The new name he used was Nick Fury.
Vincent a ruthless hitman for hire
"Im sad Vincent had to die..."
"Me too, I liked him."
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I always wondered how Vincent was able to go to the bathroom so much... He was a heroin addict - constipation is a reality that hitman had to deal with
Plus the bathroom is his test. He constantly gets in trouble after going to the bathroom: Mia overdoses, robbery and then his killing. If he had sensed the "miracle" like Jewels he never would have died.
FUN FACT..
If you watch KILL BILL 2, Jules shows up in the wedding Chapel as the piano player...
His "walking the Earth" Journey took him there..
I think someone discovered John Travolta and got a crush lol she was so sad that he died. Adorable ☺️.
Fun Facts: “Jimmy” , the guy whose house they used to clean up the mess is Quentin Tarantino, the Director of the movie.
Also, Zed’s motorcycle, “Grace” actually belongs to Bruce Willis in real life..
Quentin Tarantino is a genius dark comedy writer. The watch scene with Christopher Walken is so damn funny and it keeps building worse and worse. He said his father died of dysentery after five years of holding the watch up his ass. Dysentery is a highly contagious gastrointestinal infection where the primary symptom is perpetual bloody diarrhea. Here you go kid.
A $5 shake in 1994 would be like $15-$20 dollars today.
Should do ALL Tarentino movies! He’s the goat!
“I mean I’d take the watch, but I wouldn’t wear it. Id put it in a safe space” 😂
The way I look at it both Jules and Vincent had a chance to accept God into their lives after the shooting Jules accepted God and lived Vincent denied the miracle and died.. Now I don't think Tarantino was making any kind of religious statement I just think he thought it was a great plot idea.
Edmond Hoyle was an authority on card games, and codified the official rules of many different games. “According to Hoyle” means “adhering to the officially recognized standard.”
No one ever catches that the drug dealer basically gave Vincent an open invitation to his house with the "mi casa es su casa" line. Kind of like extending an invitation to a vampire to enter your house. 😂
Don't come here!
I don't know you!
PRANK CALLER! PRANK CALL!
They went to a 1950's themed restaurant... so when she said "Don't be a square" she used a 1950's slang term for don't be lame.
$5 shake then is like $12 in today's money ... a little steep for milk and ice cream.
Good stuff! So I always figured that Vincent died because Jules quit the life and wasn’t there as backup.
Vincent was in the rest room often, because heroin makes addicts constipated... (Mia snorted heroin, which made her OD)... the book he had was "Pulp Fiction" - Bonnie's husband with the great coffee, was played by the writer/director, Quinton Tarrantino.
Hospital workers do the exact same thing. We can clean up the nastiest, bloodiest mess and then sit right back down and finish our lunch.
You guys are the best
2:16 more dancing. 🙂
He didn’t kill Marvin on purpose in the car. The car went over a speed bump I think and the gun went off
34:40 enter the gimp 😮
BRING OUT THE GIMP
Dang, y'all gotta see Jackie Brown now. You'll love it even more.
12:25, this conversation was the inspiration for another Quentin Tarantino movie Kill Bill.
what was in the briefcase? .....it was a Macguffin....lol, look it up.
The gun on the counter at Butch’s apartment wasn’t Vincent’s, it was Marsellus’. He left it there when he went to go get donuts.
In 1994, a milkshake at McDonald's was $1.50. At a good Diner in Los Angeles, a shake was usually about $2
the director was the guy who gave them coffie
Fox Force Five is almost the exact premise for Kill Bill. Definitely check out Kill Bill.
I love the misdirection with Mia and Vincent. You know that Marcellus is a jealous man with violence tendencies, so the closer they get the more you suspect that he’s going to have sex with her and seal his fate.
And then she finds his heroin…
The 5 dollar milkshake would cost about $10.50 in 2023.
This movie was Samuel L. Jackson’s magnum opus. Here’s a fun fact: Laurence Fishburne was considered for the role of Jules Winnfield. 5:03
Sooo many great actors! No real heroes, all anti-heroes. It was a totally different vibe rooting for the various bad guys as protagonists...then having them cross each other. The dark humour is of course the best part. This was Quentin Tarrentino's second film. Really solidified his position in the film industry and revitalized John Travolta's career.
Check out "Death Proof", another Tarrentino film with several awesome ladies as protagonists, and includes several location shots in and around Austin Texas that used to be part of my stomping grounds way back in the day.❤
If Jules didn't quit he would have been at the apartment when Butch got there and Vincent would be alive.
Not necessarily. Marcellus was there waiting with Vincent, but he had gone for a walk to grab coffee and donuts for the two of them. if Jules were there he may have been the one walking to get breakfast.
@@HalCogan never thought about why he was in the area. Good catch
31:00
GIRL 1 - 😲Yo! It's over for Vincent....... Or else he has like a ...
GIRL 2 - 😑No he doesn't
ME - 😃best reaction
Why did I know they BOTH were going to laugh at the tomato ketchup joke 😂 I knew it! I was waiting for it!
That was so fun! Welcome to the criminal subculture Jyn&Ryl. No one knows what's in Marcellus briefcase, just that it glows...
It's a McGuffin, a plot device used to further the plot along. What's in it is not important so much as everyone wants it.
2:45 they're going do gangster sh*t...
so true...and they are going to do it well.
Jules did leave the life. That's why when Butch goes back to his apartment it's Vincent there without Jules. Vincent was actually staking out Butch's place with Marsellus who had left to pick up coffee and donuts. This is why Marsellus was just down the street when Butch saw him and ran him over. You could even say Jules leaving the Hitman game saved his life because he wasn't at the apartment to get killed by Butch ,Vincent was.
Damn, watched this movie a million times, never thought of that. I thought Marcellus just happened to be in the neighborhood. Never thought that he was getting food to go back with Vincent to stakeout Butches crib. Thanks
Jules wouldnt have been as stupid as Vincent. Jules maybe even would have ordered Vincent to not place his weapon anywhere in the appartment alsone. It would have probably Butch who would have been killed in this scenario.
Your observation about why Marsellus was around is great, would have never spotted this myself.
In the 90’s heroin was a big thing in counter culture movies. Check out Killing Zoe. It’s written and directed by Roger Avery who co wrote Pulp Fiction.
This movie was from 20 years ago. 5 dollars for a shake was definitely expensive
Nice😊🎉❤
If you haven't seen it already, I would love to see your reaction to Jackie Brown. Quentin Tarantino made that movie after this one. Samuel Jackson is in that one too. Not as wild as this film but has some great stuff in it. A really cool story.
