I Don't Know. I Didn't Go Into Burger King.


Pulp Fiction is the lastest film to be homage-itized in my Etsy Shop. It comes in framed and print-only styles, but not with mayonnaise. Gross.

I feel like picking a favorite movie is like picking a favorite person. It just hurts feelings. But, if you twist my arm behind my back and.. okay okay stopit! Ow! Ow! Ooowwww! Stop it! Mom! Oooww! MOOOOM! Uncle! Uncleuncleuncleuncle! OKAY IT'S PULP FICTION!



Here are some fun facts about Pulp Fiction:
  • The role of Vincent Vega was originally written for Michael Madsen, who played Vincent's brother Vic in Reservoir Dogs. Madsen couldn't do it, due to a scheduling conflict.
  • Tarantino has often talked about having both actors reprise their roles in a Vega Brothers movie, but has yet to do so.
  • When buying heroin from Lance, Vincent complains about his car getting keyed. It's clearly Butch who did it, off camera. He later kills Vincent with his own gun so keying his car seems unnecessary.
  • The part of Jimmie was written for Steve Buscemi. He couldn't do it due to a scheduling conflict, but appears briefly as "Buddy Holly"
    at Jackrabbit Slim's.
  • Tarantino wanted "My Sharona" to be the song played during the Gimp torture sequence because if its, ah... appropriate bass rhythm. He couldn't get the rights.
  • The "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet was not made for the movie, it belonged to Tarantino, and is a reference to Shaft.
  • "Martin and Lewis or Amos and Andy?" means "Vanilla or Chocolate?" Think about it.
  • Tarantino collects vintage TV-show themed bo
    ard games, and did not pass up the opportunity to sit down and play "Welcome Back, Kotter" with John Travolta during filming of Pulp Fiction. I am not making this up.

I'm not saying this print is what was inside Marcellus Wallace's briefcase but.. well, it's pretty cool.
