Pulp Fiction
- The bible verse that Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) quotes at the beginning of the movie before killing that guy is mostly made-up, Quentin Tarantino and Jackson wrote it themselves and only one line of it even resembles anything from the bible.
- Samuel L. Jackson's character was originally supposed to wear a giant afro but after a crew member found a jheri curl wig and Jackson tried it on, Tarantino stuck with it.
- In the scene where John Travolta plunges a syringe into Uma Thurman's chest, they actually filmed him pulling it out and then playing it backwards. Also, the board games "The Game of Life" and "Operation" are seen on a table in the background during this scene.
- Two-time Academy Award Winner (and probably will win a third soon) Daniel-Day Lewis really wanted the part of Vincent Vega but Tarantino turned him down in favor of the (at the time) washed-up John Travolta.
- Things speculated to have been in the briefcase that Jules and Vincent received at the beginning of the movie: Elvis's gold suit worn by Val Kilmer in True Romance, Marcellus Wiley's (Ving Rhames) soul, diamonds, just a light bulb, and "whatever you want it to be".
- The word "fuck" is said 265 times in this movie.
- Sylvester Stallone was considered for the role of Butch. Luckily they went with Bruce Willis.
- Jules's "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet is actually Quentin Tarantino's and is a reference to Shaft, a part later played by Samuel L. Jackson six years later. Fun Fact - Christian Bale played the villain in that movie.
- Isabella Rossellini, Meg Ryan, Daryl Hannah, Joan Cusack, Halle Berry, and Michelle Pfeiffer were all considered for the role of Mia Wallace.
- Courtney Love claims that Tarantino wanted her and Kurt Cobain to play Lance and Jodi (the couple that robs the diner at the end), however, Tarantino denies having ever meet Cobain, let alone offering them the part.
