Pulp Fiction Trivia

Jules:
The role of Butch was originally supposed to be an up and coming boxer. 'Matt Dillon' was in talks to play the role, but never committed. Tarantino then changed the role and offered it to 'Bruce Willis', who had been disappointed at not being signed to play Vincent.

Vince Vega:
Daniel Day-Lewis wanted the role of Vincent Vega but Tarantino turned him down in favor of Travolta.

Mia Wallace:
Isabella Rossellini, Meg Ryan, Daryl Hannah, Joan Cusack, and Michelle Pfeifer where all interviewed for the role of Mia Wallace. Out of all of them Tarantino says he preferred Michelle Pfeifer the most.

The Wolf:
Harvey Keitels character in this movie has the same specialized job as his character in Point of No Return (1993).

The Briefcase:
Speculation abounds as to the nature of the mysterious glowing contents of the case:
The most persistent theory (most usually attributed to a friend of a friend who saw it posted on a message board by someone whose brother had read a report of a radio interview with Tarantino himself) is that it is Marcellus Wallaces soul. The story goes that when the Devil takes a persons soul, it is removed through the back of the head (this isnt part of any known religion, but this is what the message board posters say). When we see the back of Marcellus's head he has a Band-Aid covering the precise spot indicated by tradition for soul removal. Perhaps Marcellus sold his soul to the devil which would also explain why the combination to open the briefcase is 666.

Beatles Trivia:
Though "The Ed Sullivan Show" was the first TV program in America to host the Beatles, (February 9, 1964), ABC and CBS shot concert footage of the band in November 1963 as Beatlemania swept England. On December 7, 1963, "The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" featured footage of Beatles fans at a concert, and on Friday, January 3, 1964, Jack Paars show was the first to broadcast footage of them on a major U.S. show, when Paar played a clip of the Beatles performing "She Loves You." At that point Paar was not a fan, and he disparaged their haircuts on air.

On December 17, 1963, a disc jockey at WWDC in Washington, D.C., became the first person to broadcast a Beatles record on American airwaves. James Carroll played "I Want To Hold Your Hand," which he had obtained from his stewardess girlfriend who brought the single back from Britain. Due to listener demand, it played daily, every hour.

Though there was a woman named Eleanor Rigby in Liverpool, she was not the inspiration for the song. Paul simply made up the name.

The song has been recorded over 200 times, with interpretations by Diana Ross and the Supremes, Paul Anka, Frankie Valli, the Four Tops, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Vanilla Fudge.

The Briefcase:
Speculation abounds as to the nature of the mysterious glowing contents of the case:
According to Roger Avary, who co-wrote the script with Tarantino, the original plan was to have the briefcase contain diamonds. This seemed neither exciting nor original, so Avary and Tarantino decided to have the briefcases contents never appear on screen; this way each filmgoer could mentally fill in the blank with whatever struck his or her imagination as best fitting the description "so beautiful". The orange light bulb (projecting shimmering light onto the actors' faces) was a last-minute decision and added a completely unintended fantastic element.

Beatles Trivia:
Though the Beatles were still largely unknown in the U.S. in October 1963, Ed Sullivan got his first glimpse of Beatlemania on Halloween of that year. His plane at Heathrow Airport outside London was delayed due to hordes of screaming Beatles fans welcoming the boys back from an overseas concert. When he was notified about the cause of the delay, Ed Sullivan said, "Who the hell are the Beatles?" That experience prompted him to book them on his show in 1964. (The Beatles, for their part, had not previously heard of Ed Sullivan).
