I was watching Pulp Fiction last night for about the 14th time and noticed, for the first time, that Vincent Vega’s drug kit is metal and glass when he’s loading it, but plastic when the syringe is being used.
And when I searched online to see if anyone else had noticed the switch, the answer was yes.
Thread moved from MPSIMS to Cafe Society.
Not too much to say, if it took 14 viewings to notice its not too much of a goof. And the outrageous comedy & energy of that scene hides things like that completely…
In the Star Trek (TOS) “Mudd’s Women,” when we first see Capt. Kirk being introduced to the three “ladies,” in the first camera shot from left, he has a thin black stripe down the side of his pants. But then when the scene cuts to a view from the left, he is not wearing any pants.
when i watched it on the big screen, they took out the part when he was using it (plunge, draw out to get blood, mix with heroin, inject the mixture back in.) maybe that’s why they cut it.
Where are you that the scene was cut? I guess that theater never showed Bad Lieutenant.
I read somewhere that a lot of the so-called Pulp Fiction goofs were actually put in by Tarantino for fun.
Kirk doesn’t waste any time, does he?
you noticed a piece of plastic but it never occurred to you after 14 viewings that the bullet holes were there before they were shot at by the guy in the back of the apartment?
I noticed that a long time ago, also the Hunny Bunny’s Dialog Goofs from the begining and at the end.
Also, there isn’t a golden glow when vega passes in the shower, or when the kid in the car gets shot. When there was a golden glow from the deaths in the apartment.
why aren’t people wondering what was in marcelus wallace’s suitecase?
This is known in the industry as the “A wizard did it” defence.
I’ll buy the different syringes as a legitimate continuity error. The bullet holes in the wall? Probably an honest mistake, although I could see that one going either way. The differences in dialogue between the beginning of the movie, and the end? No way was that anything but deliberate.
Yep. In fact, in the published screenplay, not only are the two versions of the same line different, the second one contains a bit that isn’t included in the movie:
“Got that?!”
You find out if you sit through the credits at the end of Thor.
Just in case you were being serious: MacGuffin
I don’t know if you watched the end credits of Thor, but I did and had the same thought.
It was a statue of a bird. A bird of prey, actually. In fact, a falcon. I believe from Malta.
Also at the end of the first section Vince and Jules empty their guns (their slides lock back indicating they are out of ammo) but when the scene is replayed in “The Bonnie Situation” they are clearly not.
What makes you think that’s a mistake? Could be that it was done deliberately as a partial explanation of the ‘miracle.’ The bullets don’t really pass through the guys, the holes were already in the wall. And somehow the guy had blanks in his gun instead of live rounds.
