Pulp Fiction
French 1 panel 1994 poster for
Pulp Fiction, an independent black comedy crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It features actress Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace, reclining on a bed while holding a cigarette and a pulp magazine.
The film is widely regarded as Tarantino's magnum opus and a cultural watershed for its unconventional non-linear structure and eclectic dialogue.
Fascinating Facts About the Film
The Rare Lucky Strike Poster: The original version of this poster featured Mia smoking from a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. Miramax had to recall them because they hadn't licensed the rights, making surviving originals highly valuable.
A "Demented" Script: TriStar Pictures originally turned down the script because they found it "too demented". Miramax eventually financed the film for approximately $8 million; it went on to gross over $200 million worldwide.
Revitalized Careers: The film is credited with resurrecting John Travolta's career. He accepted a significantly reduced salary (around $150,000) for the role of Vincent Vega, which earned him an Oscar nomination.
The Stolen Car: The 1964 Chevelle Malibu driven by Vincent Vega actually belonged to Quentin Tarantino. It was stolen during production and wasn't found until nearly 20 years later in 2013.
Adrenaline Shot Trickery: To film the scene where Mia receives an adrenaline shot, John Travolta actually pulled the needle out of her chest, and the footage was played in reverse in post-production to make it look like a forceful injection.
The "Ezekiel" Monologue: The famous "Ezekiel 25:17" speech delivered by Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) is not a direct quote from the Bible. Most of it was made up by Tarantino and Jackson, with some lines taken from a 1976 Japanese martial arts film, The Bodyguard.
