In the second rendition of the Hamburger scene, right after Jules shoots Brett, he talks to Marvin cowering in the corner. In this shot you can clearly see two bullet holes in the wall behind Jules' shoulders. At this point the guy hiding in the bathroom has not yet shot at them, which occurs in the very next scene, making the rest of the holes in the wall. See more »

Pumpkin:
Forget it. Too risky. I'm through doing that shit.
Yolanda:
You always say that. That same thing every time, "I'm through, never again, too dangerous".
Pumpkin:
I know that's what I always say. I'm always right, too.
Yolanda:
But you forget about it in a day or two.
Pumpkin:
Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun.

My oh my. "Pulp Fiction" is one of those roller-coasters of a movie. It is both a joy and a trial to sit through. Amazingly original and unforgettable, Quentin Tarantino's trash masterpiece never gets old or seem outdated. It put a face on American independent film making in 1994. Miramax had been around since the 1970s and no one had heard of it before this film. Studios went into a panic when this film came out because they knew it would be an amazing hit. Of course it was. Independent film making became the rage and hit its peak in 1996 when four of the five nominated Best Picture films were from independent studios. The screenplay and direction by Tarantino are quite amazing, but the cast makes the film work. John Travolta (Oscar nominated) re-invented his career with this film. Bruce Willis cemented his celebrity. Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman (both Oscar nominees) became marketable superstars. Others who make appearances include: Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Frank Whaley, Harvey Keitel, and of course Quentin Tarantino himself. They all leave lasting impressions as well. Samuel L. Jackson stood out the most to me, his lack of substantial screen time may have cost him the Oscar. Just an amazing accomplishment, all involved deserve recognition. Easily 5 stars out of 5.
