Ah, no, that would destroy too much of the mysteries :)

...btw: 'Things I learned from Pulp Fiction' - um... you don't scratch a man's car.
 
what i learnt from pulp fiction : guns are cool

yes, learnt.
pff, learned...

LEARNT!

hooray for English.
 
The whole idea that pr0nking said about what's in the briefcase
It's Marcellus Wallace's soul
I don't buy because
if John Travolta was an angel then why did he say he was in Holland? Holland's nice, but not heaven.
And how can Samuel L. Jackson be an angel if it takes him ages to realise that he's going to stop killing people and walk the Earth until he feels at peace? And why would he quote a piece of the Bible that - as far as I am aware - doesn't actually exist?
And if you'd like to tell me how you extract someone's soul through a small hole in the back of their neck, then I'd be very interested to hear. And Mr. Wallace isn't the most savoury person on the planet - why would someone send down angels to help him?
It's nonsense.
And mayonaise on chips - or fries, if you're American <Sighs> - is really really nice. I wouldn't choose it over ketchup, but it's still good. Not to mention the fact that Belgian and Dutch chips are amazing :)
 
Well i didn't write the film its only theories which float about.
 
The soundtrack is the best thing i've ever heard its absolutly amazing.

Hope you have the original copy! ;):P
 
It goes a little somethin' like this:

OK, if you look at the combination code on the briefcase, it's 666. 666 = devil. Now, many years ago it was believed that if you sold your soul to the devil then he would extract it through the back of your neck - that's what MWs plaster is doing there.
Of course Travolta and Jackson aren't really angels, it's all a metaphor, but there's plenty of religious links - especially Jackson's line before he 'pops a cap in someones ass'.

It's a damn fine film, but Quentin popped a few little bits and bos in to make it mean a little more, if you look carefully.
 
What I've gathered from the Briefcase Theory (burner69's comments + a few):
MW sold his soul to the devil (removed from the back of your neck - hence the band-aid). MW sends John Travolta and Samuel. L to get it back. That guy (who I think looks a lot like Jerry Seinfeld) runs into the room firing like mad. Samuel & John just saved someone's soul, so God spared their lives (hence the "Act of God"/"Freak Occurance").

Great movie. Tied with Fight Club for my favorite movie.
 
I've never actually thought about that whole angel idea. It's pretty interesting, but im sticking with my theory. :)
Hehe, John Travolta being an angel reminds me of that movie "Micheal"
(I think) were he actually played an angel.

Hahaha. THat's so Zapp!

"Here's to us poor schmos, working for the man, even if he is a hot, sexy, female man."

Also. I've learned from pulp fiction. Never aim a gun directly at somebody in a moving vehicle, if you don't plan to clean it up afterwards.

It's actually in the bible. Ezekiel 25:17

However, the play on words is a bit different I think. Its made to sound more modern in the pulp fiction film.
