Pulp Fiction Trivia

Jules:
Tarantino originally wrote the role of Jules specifically for Samuel L. Jackson, however it was almost given to Paul Calderon after a great audition. When Jackson heard this, he flew to LA and re-auditioned, getting back the part he was supposed to play. Calderon ended up with a cameo as Paul, the bartender.

Vince Vega:
The shot of Vincent plunging the syringe into Mias chest was filmed by having John Travolta pull the needle out, then running the film backwards.

Mia Wallace:
The look of Uma Thurmans character Mia Wallace was modeled after French actress Anna Karina who also appeared in Bande a part (1964); a favorite film of Director Quentin Tarantino.

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:
Could it be Elvis gold suit, seen worn by Val Kilmer (as Elvis) in True Romance (1993)?

Beatles Trivia:
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 Father McKenzie in "Eleanor Rigby," was almost called Father McCartney, when Paul first composed the lyrics. However, a search in the phone book yielded the more general name McKenzie. 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.

Pulp Fiction Trivia

Jules:
In the screenplay, Butch is a featherweight boxer but in the film, Butchs opponent Wilson has his weight announced as 210 pounds, inferring that Butch is a heavyweight.

Vince Vega:
The role of Vincent Vega was written for 'Michael Madsen', who played the characters brother, Vic Vega, in Reservoir Dogs, but he couldnt do the film due to scheduling conflicts for another film.

Mia Wallace:
Mia Wallace is barefoot for most of the movie.

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.

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 Father McKenzie in "Eleanor Rigby," was almost called Father McCartney, when Paul first composed the lyrics. However, a search in the phone book yielded the more general name McKenzie.

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:
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.
