505 Pulp Fiction (1994)
- 'Quentin Tarantino' (qv) wrote two of the three stories before he wrote
"Reservoir Dogs (1992)" (qv) and "True Romance (1993)" (qv). After the
success of those films, he decided to write a third story, intending to have
each segment directed by a different person.
- The parts of ``Honey Bunny'' and ``Pumpkin'' were written specifically
for 'Amanda Plumber' (qv) and 'Tim Roth' (qv).
- In the opening sequence with Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, Jules can be heard
talking about quitting ``the life''.
- ``Big Kahuna Burgers'' first appeared in "True Romance (1993)" (qv), also
written by Tarantino.
- The bandaid on Marsellus Wallace's neck was there becuase actor
'Ving Rhames' (qv) has a scar there that the makeup people felt would
be too distracting during that scene.
- Mia Wallace's comment ``An Elvis man should love this'' is a references to a
earlier cut scene where Mia claims that everyone can be classified as either
an ``Elvis'' person or a ``Beatles'' person. She bets Vincent that he is
an ``Elvis'', and he confirms it.
- The book that Vincent reads is ``Modesty Blaise'', but Peter O'Donnell.
- Vincent can be seen heading for the bathroom in the opening scene.
- When Vincent and Lance are attempting to give Mia the adrenalin injection,
the board games ``Operation'' and ``Life'' are visible in the background.
- The marquee where Butch boxes advertises the following fights: ``Coolidge
vs Wilson'' and ``Vossler vs Martinez''. The first is a reference to
the presidential election contested by 'Calvin Coolidge' (qv) and
'Woodrow Wilson' (qv), the second is a reference to 'Rand Vossler' (qv) and
'Jerry Martinez' (qv) are two friends of Tarantino's from when he worked in
a video store. See also "Crimson Tide (1995)" (qv).
- When Butch is approaching his apartment, there is an advertisment for
Jack Rabbit Slims on the radio.
- Jimmy (Tarantino) is wearing t-shirt bearing the logo of ``Orbit'', a local
alternative newspaper in Metro Detroit, for which Tarantino did an interview
when he was promoting "Reservoir Dogs (1991)" (qv). See also the WWW-links
section.
- In "Reservoir Dogs" (qv) (also written and directed by Tarantino), Nice
Guy Eddie refers to a nurse named ``Bonnie''.
