So, what was inside? My WAGS are:
[li]nuclear fuel for a bomb[/li][li]the infamous US Presidential “football” that has the big red button for nuking the world[/li]I have no idea! arrgh
I’m pretty sure it was the case from “Pulp Fiction.”
Think about it.
LOL 
That was the first movie I ever fell asleep during. Was it any good? My roommate hated it. I had had a tough week teaching, and just couldn’t stay awake.
Fill in a fellow…person…
Was it any good? Hell yes, but is best seen on the big screen during the car chase. That was the best damn car chase scene to come out of Hollywood in probably 20-30 years IMHO !
Doesn’t matter what’s in the case. It’s just a McGuffin. As defined in the Jabootu Glossary:
The next Harry Potter…
so I don’t have my references to hand, but it seems to me that the Ark in Raiders couldn’t be a Maguffin, since it was a known item. IIRC, Maguffins are never revealed, because they don’t really matter to the plot, except to give the characters something to desire, and therefore a reason to do something.
The briefcase (both in Pulp Fiction and in Ronin) isn’t a Maguffin, by that definition, but the contents are.
Fun with plot devices.
oh, and maz - ROFL
