Watched Pulp Fiction on Sunday. It’s probably 10 years since I watched it all the way through and 2 things stood out this time.
First, when Butch hits Marcellus with the car, one of the bystanders was a pre-TDS Kathy Griffin.
Second, Butch lives because of the miracle in the apartment that causes Jules to retire. The same miracle is also the cause of Marcellus getting ass raped by Zed.
If the apartment miracle doesn’t happen, Jules is with Vincent at Butch’s apartment. Maybe Marcellus is there too, out getting coffee and donuts but regardless Jules is gonna be there, preventing Butch from finding Vincent’s gun and shooting him when he comes out the bathroom.
Because of the way it plays out, butch kills Vincent, hit Marcellus with the car and they end up in the rape basement. Butch escapes but goes back to save Marcellus which in turn saves his life because there’s no one looking for him.
And is Vincent fucking deaf when he’s taking a shit? No reaction in the diner when Honey Bunny is screaming and he doesn’t notice someone coming in the apartment, walking around and dropping pop tarts in the toaster.
