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:
Uma Thurman originally turned down the role of Mia Wallace. Quentin Tarantino was so desperate to have her as Mia, he ended up reading her the script over the phone, finally convincing her to take on the role.

The Wolf:
Tarantino wrote "The Wolf" character specifically for Harvey Keitel.

The Briefcase:
Speculation abounds as to the nature of the mysterious glowing contents of the case:
In a radio interview with Howard Stern in late 2003, Quentin Tarantino was asked by a caller the contents of the briefcase, and he answered, "Its whatever the viewer wants it to be".

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).

Vince Vega:
Every time Vincent goes to the bathroom, something bad happens.

Mia Wallace:
Mia Wallaces comment "An Elvis man should love this" is a reference to an earlier cut scene where Mia claims that everyone can be classified as either an Elvis person or a Beatles person. She bets Vincent that he is an Elvis person, and he confirms it.

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.

Beatles Trivia:
Contrary to popular belief, the title for "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was prompted by 4-year-old Julian Lennons description of a painting he brought home from school, not the drug, LSD. John Lennon has been said to have preferred Elton Johns rendition of the song, and played background guitar and backup vocals on Johns version, credited as "Dr. Winston O'Boogie and his Reggae Guitars."

Family Guy Trivia:

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.

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.

A scene removed from the final film involves Jules trying to consider what to do while Pumpkin and Honey Bunny rob the diner. In the scene, Jules points his gun at the bottom of the table and fires up twice, hitting Pumpkin and killing him. He then spins around and shoots Honey Bunny three times, killing her.

Beatles Trivia:
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. Since it hadnt been released yet in the States, Capitol initially considered court action, but instead released the record earlier than planned.
