Goofs:
Continuity: Errors during the scene when Marsellus and Butch are trapped inside Maynard's basement: 1) When he starts sprinkling water to wake them up, Butch is seen bent further down in the back shot. 2) Maynard then sprays them upwards, but in the next shot the water is coming downwards. 3)When Maynard finishes sprinkling, Butch turns to Marsellus, but in the next shot he is facing away. 4) When Maynard goes upstairs to open the door for Zed, Marsellus's shirt is untucked covering his crotch and Butch's blood stain on his shirt looks darker. In the next shot, Marsellus's shirt has changed as well as the blood stain on Butch's shirt, which looks lighter. After Zed walks in, the shirt and the stain change back.

Pumpkin: Forget it. Too risky. I'm through doing that shit.
Yolanda: You always say that. That same thing every time, "I'm through, never again, too dangerous".
Pumpkin: I know that's what I always say. I'm always right, too.
Yolanda: But you forget about it in a day or two.
Pumpkin: Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun.

Pulp Fiction, despite borrowing from just about every movie ever made, is the most invigorating cinema experience a filmgoer can ever hope for. Its hodgepodge of violence, mayhem, and generally deviant behavior is an assault on the senses, not to mention political correctness. However, despite all the film's cleverness and style, it hinges on the performance put forth by Samuel L. Jackson as Jules. The fact that he was denied an Oscar is a downright shame. Martin Landau, the best supporting actor winner that year, was terrific and funny in Ed Wood, but Jackson was perhaps the most commanding screen presence in film history as the bible-quoting, godfearing hitman. The last scene in the coffee shop with Tim Roth still sends chills down my spine, no matter how many times I've seen it. Rumors of a prequel involving Jules and Vincent (John Travolta) have been floating around lately. If Quentin Tarantino wishes to regain the fans he lost with the dissapointing (but still pretty good) Jackie Brown, he should get to work right away. I'll be the first in line to see the finished product.
