Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite movie, cause it's the one that makes me fringe, laugh and giddy, there's everything in this movie. and that song in the opening scene with pumpkin and honey bunny is called "Misirlou". the original song date back to 1927, but the one that was used in the movie was Dick Dale's 1962 Surf Rock Version. for those who was wondering where did they heard the song before, it's the one that Black Eyed Peas used as a sample for "Pump It".
The movie is a 1994 black comedy crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Roger Avary. The film is known for its eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, non-linear storyline, and a host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. The Cast includes John Travolta (Grease), Samuel L. Jackson (Django Unchained), Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs), Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs), Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible), Christopher Walken (Catch Me, If You Can). It brought back the career of its leading man, John Travolta (Vincent Vega). I can't(and won't) actually tell you how the movie goes so you just gotta watch it, you (probably) won't regret it. and now i'm gonna give you some...
TRIVIA:
- Samuel L. Jackson(Jules) auditioned for the part of the guy who trains Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs (1992), but it went to Randy Brooks. Quentin Tarantino enjoyed Samuel L. Jackson's work so much that he wrote the part of Jules specifically for him.
- In real life, Vincent Vega(John Travolta)'s 1964 Chevelle Malibu convertible belongs to Quentin Tarantino, and was stolen during the production of the film. In 2013, a police officer saw two kids stripping an older car. He arrested them and when researching the vehicle found the VIN number had been altered. It turns out that it was the car stolen from 'Quentin Tarantino'. The owner had recently purchased it and had no idea it was stolen.
- Whenever Vincent Vega(John Travolta) goes to the toilet something bad happens.
- The passage from the Bible that Jules has memorized was mostly made up by Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson. The only part that's similar to what the Bible says is the part where he says, "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee." However, the parts about the righteous man and the shepherd are not real.
- The word "fuck" is used 265 times.
Those are just some... there are many more
