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:
In real life, Vincent Vegas 1964 Chevelle Malibu convertible belongs to Quentin Tarantino and was stolen during the production of the film.

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:
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 simply a 20-watt light bulb and a couple of bricks?

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."
