@@waveshock I dunno about ten years. He had already sunk to a career low of Battlefield Earth only six years later. He did have some decent hits in the 90's, primarily Face Off, which did make him a boatload of cash. I would say that was the peak of his career post-Fiction. I'm not saying Pulp Fiction didn't change his life, and get him some very nice paychecks in the following years. But the public perception of him as "cool" again or a great actor didn't last long.
@@sweepingdenver As I said, for the next ten years, he consistently starred in A grade films, most of them succesful... Get shorty, Broken Arrow, Face / off, Phenomenon, Mad city, Primary Colors, A civil action, The daughter's general... Battlefield earth was indeed a terrible mistake, but it did not inmediately kill his momentum, since he still starred after that in Swordfish, The punisher, Basic, Ladder 49. Wild Hogs, The taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and From Paris with love, in 2010. From there on, yeah, his career went hopelessly downhill and into the "straight to dvd" aisle. But, then again, he made a good run during those 10-15 years for an actor that was already considered washed up.
@@honkytrousers well yes but you only use that saying when you’re talking about a person who gets a lot of hate. So I was just asking why you think people don’t like him. Just in case you don’t know.
Jeffrey: Self expression would be a HUGE perk of folks who produce video, movies, etc. For me, the reason I love adult cartoons like "The Simpsons" and so many others so much is all the great social commentary. To have a CAREER doing that seems like it would be MASSIVELY fulfilling compared to 99% of ordinary jobs, IMO. So for example, if it weren't for the social commentary, I wouldn't like South Park at all.
I saw Pulp Fiction at the cinema when it was first released. As the film ended and the lights came on, the packed audience sat in silence. Nobody seemed to understand what they had just seen. A few people began clapping and then a thunderous applause followed. It was a brilliant film, and 30 years later still one of my all time favorites. I notice something new every time I watch it.
Stallone was never majorly considered. I never heard that. Tarantino himself said Matt Dillon was who he wrote Butch in Pulp Fiction for and scored Willis after Dillion was reluctant.
Not every writer/director is always right on who should play his characters, but Tarantino’s casting has a better perfect ranking over his career than almost anybody else.
I think it is because he is a true old school movie fan. He relentlessly watches old films and knows them so well. So he recognizes talent when he sees it.
Nobody that has seen Reservoir Dogs and still breaths oxygen can hear the song, "Stuck in the Middle With You", and not think of .... THAT scene. Tarantino is just amazing.
Super impressive video. Came in expecting another run of the mill "Things you didn't know about Pulp Fiction" and you tackled a unique angle. Also, your film samples are really damn impressive with the different clips you used (I really dug when you cut from the door closing to Jules coming out of a door in the apartment building). Really solid work!
im so thankful i found this channel. facts i have ACTUALLY not heard, a narrator with a good voice that doesnt sound annoying and good upload schedule.

Saw it in the theater as a teen in the 90's with a group of friends (didn't get carded lol), and I have it on blu ray and watch it every few years. Still holds up. Absolutely a movie fan's movie and arguably QT's best.
This movie was the first cinema experience I can remember where the audience responded with laughter, gasps or silence all in unisen. A truely magical moment.
Lol. Yes and I remember us all being confused at the beginning, wondering if they'd messed up and accidentally started the movie at some random point or even right before the end because right after the opening scene, the music starts and you see some credits on an otherwise black screen.
Something cool you missed was that Tarantino wanted Kurt Cobain for the part of the drug dealer. He declined due to the negative rumors that the vanity fair article had caused, but Kurt thanked Tarantino in the liner notes of In Utero.
Excellent video. It actually contained a lot I didn't know about Pulp Fiction. Very few videos deliver what they advertise. Thank you, Kolo Kino clips.

Love this movie. It may not mean a lot now ... but it was the first and only movie I've seen multiple times at the theater. In fact I went 3 times. I was blown away with the sequence, the acting, the story, everything! I owned the VHS (still do), DVD, Blu-Ray, and it's on my SSD. Fantastic movie!
This has to be one of the best "Everything You Didn't Know About..." films in history. I've watched a lot of "Things You Didn't About..." Or "Everything You Didn't Know About...) on this film and this is the most accurate video I've seen.
I thought I knew a lot about Pulp Fiction but I did not know all that. Finally a title that is actually true. I’m gonna have to check your other content now. Thank you.
Rewriting history a little bit Bruce Willis didn't have a Resurgence in his career after Pulp Fiction he was at the top of his game before and after. He was one of the biggest movie stars in the world when he decided to be in Pulp Fiction.
@@blackjesus804 stinkers are usually the director's fault, bonfire the vanities was totally a misstep by the director. Hudson Hawk yeah that was his fault.
Tarantino has this skill of making every line, every move, every detail meaningful. Just imagine, when Jules is told they’re sending the Wolf and he goes “shit, negro, that’s all you had to say.” The line is sort of a joke, a break of tension, but it still doesn’t feel like improv, ad lib, mouth diarrhoea or anything like that. It feels like every word is exactly what Jules would say, he’s not a character in a movie, so much as a character alive in a movie.
I watched it in 1994 in cinema despite i wasnt 18yo. I remember my brain blowed up. One of the best movie ever. Today maybe it doesnt make any impression, becouse this format was copied million times after, but then it was so fresh and outstanding. My young years.
I disagree. I don't think movies like Pulp fiction exist. I mean a movie with so many talented actors, brilliant and witty writing, timeless soundtrack and unforgettable sets..it's unique and as relevant today as it was in 1994.
As a really, really, huge fan of this movie who has seen more times than I can count I gotta say this is one of the best videos that has added more to my knowledge of the film. Well done!
He did not regret losing the role of vincent. He actually said the movie would not have been excess successful if he played it because Tarantino masterfully cast his replacement a guy who was known for dancing in nightclubs and being the good guy suddenly the bad guy with a gun
I had the privilige of seeing Pulp Fiction in one of the nicest movie theatres in Amsterdam. Although i live there now, i was invited by a collegue to drive to Amsterdam with him to see this movie. This is why it has a special place in my heart, but seeing this video makes it seem even more special, and all these years i did not know!..
Wow, it's crazy to think it was almost a completely different cast. It's hard to imagine Pulp Fiction with Vincent, Jules and Butch being played by different people.
I recently saw where Johnny Depp was considered for a number of roles in "PF" including the role of "Vincent" which I think Johnny could have done well at and who was eventually cast in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". But I also heard that Quentin originally wrote the part of "Vincent" for Michael Madsen... who I'm glad turned it down... because I could NEVER imagine him in the role of Vincent.
I'm 50, and to this day Pulp Fiction is the only movie that left me speechless after watching it. And I've seen many unbelievable movies, but when people ask me what my favourite movie of all time is, I never blink or take more than 2 seconds to answer: Pulp Fiction
I think it’s funny how Quinton Tarintino said that he wouldn’t hire John Travolta because he was in a talking baby movie but so is Bruce Willis he played the goddamn baby😂
He didn't give Bruce Willis career a "2nd wind" Bruce was one of, if not the biggest star in the world at the time. Especially with the Asian audiences. Having him come aboard the film is what gave them the freedom to do basically whatever they wanted. That all comes straight from Tarantino on Tom Seguras podcast.
That is absolutely amazing I did not know all about how this movie went and what all was behind it and what all happened to make it become the movie that it is that is so awesome and great that you guys put this out here and let us know
As a 45 year old man, the more videos I watch concerning movies from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the more I realize that, at least in this regard, my entire childhood was a sham! Now, it’s not so surprising to me that many of the movies that were considered to be box office gold at the time did very little to pique my interest as a juvenile from the ages of 8 to 18. But when hear titles like ‘Howard the Duck’, ‘Labyrinth’, ‘The Dark Crystal’, ‘Legend’, ‘Flight of the Navigator’, ‘The Last Starfighter’, etc consistently lambasted in conversations and lists featuring “the biggest box office flops of the decade”, and even “the biggest box office flops of all time”, I have to pinch myself and reassess my position as a member of the human family. Because some folks be having sh*t for tastes in movies and music.
Unbelievably perfect cast! I cannot imagine a single character being played by anyone else! Actually, there is one exception: I did find Tarantino playing the part of Jimmie to be disturbing and immersion breaking somehow. Tarantino having such distinctive features and voice prevents him from "melting in" to the movie very well.
People carry personas onto the screen. Tarantino's persona is unlikable, which I think he realizes. He played the jerk in Dusk Till Dawn, which worked for that movie. But yeah, in Pulp Fiction his energy was wrong. You'll laugh at this, but I think it's true: Michael J Fox would have played the character better.
@@timothyjones3410 I agree, MJF would have been absolutely killer in that role! As much as I love Back to the Future my favorite role of his is Frank Bannister in The Frighteners.
Finally! A great review of a film filled with trivia that I certainly didn’t know, like a Japanese warrior striking down with _furious anger._ Although I did catch the Psycho reference with Vince.
I must have been around 13 years old when my younger brother found an unmarked VHS hidden away in the bookshelf at home and decided to see what was on it. It was Pulp Fiction. We knew we'd hit the jackpot, so we secretly watched it in installments whenever the coast was clear. We thought it was the coolest film ever, but nothing could have prepared is for the scene where Zed rapes Marcellus. We looked at eachother in pure shock, our chins hitting the floor! Then we told everyone at school we'd seen it, meaning we were cool for a week or so. Great times.
That time academy awards were still relevant. Great video about one of the best movies made, that is far beyond better than anything filmed in the current times.
DeGeneres NOT being cast as Arquette's role makes so much ironic sense, the universe itself laughs when this part is played anytime, anywhere, and by anybody on earth at that moment. FU Ellen.
Quentin did some decent podcasts in the last few weeks talking about lots of this exact info. Very interesting and a good listen. He was on YMH with Tom Segura recently and it was entertaining. He even roasts Tom in the final interview minutes and embarrasses him which is awesome cuz tom is a professional comedian lol Quentin actually is a big stand up comedy fan. Anyway I suggest listening to his recent interviews! Apparently he’s only doing 1 more movie (10th) which hes stated before, but even more interesting he has written a screenplay for a potential future limited series! Im soo looking forward to seeing his future projects

Hey man I love your channel. Quentin is by far my favorite director. I'm too young to have watched Reservoir Dogs but I have watched most of Tarantino's films. Hateful 8 is by far my favorite of them all.
Should be noted on that bit where Quentin is interviewing Bruce in the car, Bruce notes that at some point, someone is going to take some hand cameras, and make an entire movie out of them. A few years later we got the Blair Witch Project.

Travolta as Vincent Vega is Tarantinos biggest stroke of genius
Him pushing Bruce Willis to do butch was also epic.
Agree. Travolta and Willis were superb in Pulp Fiction.
That man knows how to cast his films better than any studioproducer etc.
He said once it was suppose to be Michael Matheson
I would submit that getting Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa was as good or better
Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank…. 1994 was quite a year for movies.
Wow that’s like 2018 for video games
@@Batt-man 2019 for viruses
Gump was by far the worst of the three
Pulp has grown in stature - the others have waned.
True lies, speed, drop zone, terminal velocity, fresh , wolf
John Travolta gets emotional when talking about how QT completely resurrected his career. It was an amazing performance.
In retrospect, one could argue ... "briefly" resurrected. 😬
Travolta gets emotional, period. That's what he does.
@@sweepingdenver Well, he spent the next 10 years getting roles in high profile films. Fair enough.

The idea of Stallone playing Butch completely blows my mind. It would have been like seeing Rocky in some less than parallel universe.
Yeah, Tarantino got it right with Willis.
@@waynej2608 Took a lot of convincing because Willis wanted in the movie, but to play Vincent Vega
Stallone was never majorly considered. I never heard that. Tarantino himself said Matt Dillon was who he wrote Butch in Pulp Fiction for and scored Willis after Dillion was reluctant.
Mindblowing
@@Shuter48 Matt Dillon would have been a good fit too... but nothing beats that smirking confidence of Bruce Willis.
The music choices are what take this movie from awesome to iconic

I think it is because he is a true old school movie fan. He relentlessly watches old films and knows them so well. So he recognizes talent when he sees it.
But he almost blew it on Jules tho. That was luck and SLJ insisting he was best for the part.

Tarantino is just amazing.
*BREATHES
I can’t stand RD. I won’t watch it.
I always think of the Steve Miller Band for some reason.

Tarantino is a true filmmaker and visionary. Pulp is one of my favorite movies, stands the test of time
The cast, the dialogue, the script, the soundtrack... the greatest movie ever made.
The greatest movies ever made were HUD and Easyrider
Love Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction but Shawshank should've won best picture for 1994.
Greatest movie ever made is Harlem Nights

Hands-down, one of the best movie documentaries I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much!
I swear.........this is the best video I have ever seen on Pulp Fiction.
Tarantino has this skill of making every line, every move, every detail meaningful.
Just imagine, when Jules is told they’re sending the Wolf and he goes “shit, negro, that’s all you had to say.”
The line is sort of a joke, a break of tension, but it still doesn’t feel like improv, ad lib, mouth diarrhoea or anything like that. It feels like every word is exactly what Jules would say, he’s not a character in a movie, so much as a character alive in a movie.
Disney will do a reimagining of pulp fiction starring Rupaul as Vincent, and Brian Stelter as the gimp.
Gotta love Quentin’s vision and he will not let Hollywood producers push him around and his loyalty he’s great
Pulp Fiction is just perfect and timeless. Tarantino and Devito are classics.
Favorite movie of all time. Pure gold!
"Any time of the day is a good time for pie"

What a glorious era. Imagine Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump competing for Oscars... Today we have Marvel and DC bullshit.
true that !
That OD scene with Arquette is gold. This is one of the scenes that is funny and dramatic at the same time.
@@avzeolla3960 yeah, Lance arguing with his wife finding the medkit was fucking hilarious
@@d1want34 GET THE SHOT!!
@@bostonbangouts I WILL IF YOU LET ME!!
Pulp Fiction is the best movie of the last 30 years!
Tarantino himself tells a very different story of how Bruce Willis got cast
That was great! I saw things I didn’t know before like the 8 1/2 reference and the one about Sam Jackson’s speech. ❤
I must have been around 13 years old when my younger brother found an unmarked VHS hidden away in the bookshelf at home and decided to see what was on it. It was Pulp Fiction. We knew we'd hit the jackpot, so we secretly watched it in installments whenever the coast was clear. We thought it was the coolest film ever, but nothing could have prepared is for the scene where Zed rapes Marcellus. We looked at eachother in pure shock, our chins hitting the floor! Then we told everyone at school we'd seen it, meaning we were cool for a week or so. Great times.
That’s an awesome story and an epic find!
That's hilarious, my mom rented it for the whole family to watch at my grandma's!!😂
Been watching your videos all day man great job
Awesome! Thank you!
That time academy awards were still relevant. Great video about one of the best movies made, that is far beyond better than anything filmed in the current times.
Great vid!.. but how did they not give a shout-out to the incredible soundtrack!?
you sound a lot like Bob from Bob's Burgers. Not just the sound of his voice but also his demeanor haha. This is a compliment.
Vincent Vega is honestly quientin taratinos best charcter
I say Jules Winfield or Cliff Booth.
I can't go with anyone other than Colonel Hans Landa
Hans Landa
Jules Winfield or Hans Landa
DeGeneres NOT being cast as Arquette's role makes so much ironic sense, the universe itself laughs when this part is played anytime, anywhere, and by anybody on earth at that moment.
FU Ellen.
Mike Madsen should not think of it as regretful, he did what he thought was right at the time and Wyatt Earp is a great movie as well!
my all time favorite movie. perfection.
Quentin did some decent podcasts in the last few weeks talking about lots of this exact info. Very interesting and a good listen. He was on YMH with Tom Segura recently and it was entertaining. He even roasts Tom in the final interview minutes and embarrasses him which is awesome cuz tom is a professional comedian lol Quentin actually is a big stand up comedy fan. Anyway I suggest listening to his recent interviews! Apparently he’s only doing 1 more movie (10th) which hes stated before, but even more interesting he has written a screenplay for a potential future limited series! Im soo looking forward to seeing his future projects
Shoutout to the mommies 👖
When QT called out Tim for not actually reading his book after saying he did . . . epic lol
you don't corrrect the mad genius. You give him money. Thank god for Devito.
Forest Gump trouncing Pulp Fiction at the Oscars is all the reason anyone would need to discredit that award.
Changed my life. Bring in the gimp was on my answering machine message
great video! Really enjoyed watching it. Felt like a TV production
Wow. You've done a great job in this video (the first of yours I've seen). I thought this would've been from a channel with far more subs!
Have another sub now, though.

This might be the best "additional information video," I've seen on "Pulp Fiction."
Wait! What? Look Who's Talking is considered a bad choice? That a fucking 80s classic!!
Right, Funny that Travolta and Willis ended up being in Pulp Fiction.
You have a good voice for commentary.
Hey man I love your channel. Quentin is by far my favorite director. I'm too young to have watched Reservoir Dogs but I have watched most of Tarantino's films. Hateful 8 is by far my favorite of them all.
imagine a movie so old, bruce willis still had enthusiasm for a role...miss those old days
Should be noted on that bit where Quentin is interviewing Bruce in the car, Bruce notes that at some point,
someone is going to take some hand cameras, and make an entire movie out of them.
A few years later we got the Blair Witch Project.
Arguably the best movie ever made.
Certainly in the top 3.
Thank you for showing things I really never knew!
John Travolta was perfect for Vincent Vega
Quinton filmed and wrote the films but let’s not forget Sally Menke made these films in the editing booth, unsung heroine RIP
