With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or the vehicle that reestablished John Travolta on the A-list, or the relatively low-budget ($8 million) independent showcase for an ultrahip mixture of established marquee names and rising stars from the indie scene (among them Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Julia Sweeney, Kathy Griffin, and Phil Lamar). It was more, even, than an unprecedented $100-million-plus hit for indie distributor Miramax. Pulp Fiction was a sensation. No, it was not the Second Coming (I actually think Reservoir Dogs is a more substantial film; and P.T. Anderson outdid Tarantino in 1997 by making his directorial debut with two even more mature and accomplished pictures, Hard Eight and Boogie Nights). But Pulp Fiction packs so much energy and invention into telling its nonchronologically interwoven short stories (all about temptation, corruption, and redemption amongst modern criminals, large and small) it leaves viewers both exhilarated and exhausted--hearts racing and knuckles white from the ride. (Oh, and the infectious, surf-guitar-based soundtrack is tastier than a Royale with Cheese.) --Jim Emerson

 This is a Chinese Import March 11, 2010
Tralfaz (Boston)
This Blu-Ray is a Chinese import from Hong Kong. There may be nothing wrong with it, but Amazon really should make that clear in their listing. There is no USA Blu-Ray release of this film. Nor will there be any time soon, as Miramax has gone under. If you want to be guaranteed the best import version currently available, track down the Danish import. It's Region Free, and the audio/video are outstanding.

What can I say my stoner ex-girlfriend made me watch this movie. It nearly had me in tears when I was an hour in and realized that there was still 2 more to go. I'm lucky I keep my hair short because by time I got down to the last 30 minutes I wanted to rip my hair out. It was the most boring piece of crap I have ever watched. With one exception if you are a stoner you'll love this movie blazed because I assume that when you are flying high you just don't care how truly terrible this movie really is.
Clarification - Running Time Error March 1, 2010

I have this VHS edition and when I had purchased the DVD special edition, thought I was getting the same thing. But, not so...contrary to the specs. listed by Amazon for this VHS, the running time is actually 164 minutes (not 154). It evidently is the ONLY edition which is that long as it includes the 10 minutes of extended scenes. None of the DVD versions available include those extended (deleted) scenes. They all run only 154 minutes.
Update: Amazon has corrected the runtime on this item page as I had recommended. This VHS special collector's edition is the only version that includes the added 10 minutes of extended scenes in the movie.
 Playful Mobster Comedy and Cool Dialogue February 28, 2010
Loyd E. Eskildson (Phoenix, AZ.)
Pulp Fiction is inspired by the old novels of the same name. The characters in the movie remind you of the 1930's -40's cheap crime novels full of familiar characters like boxers willing to throw a fight, mob bosses, calculating wives and bank robbers like Bonnie and Clyde. Tarantino is the director and must have tongue in cheek throughout!
Pulp Fiction is set in Hollywood in the 1990's and combines three stories that focus on two characters. The first story is about Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson). Jules quotes Ezekiel 25:17 to his victims before blasting them. Jules and Vincent are two hit men that work for Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Marsellus has a beautiful wife, Mia (Uma Thurman). Marsellus wants Vincent to entertain his wife and takes her out to a 1950's themed restaurant. She takes a liking to Vincent, and is also a drug addict. She overdoses and the scrambling and the scenes scrambling saving her from death are hilarious. The second story is about a boxer who is asked to throw a fight (Bruce Willis) by the big boss Marsellus. He decides to make money himself by doing the opposite and wins the fight, killing his opponent in an early round. The third story is about a pair of lovers (Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth) who discuss a career change from robbing banks to holding up a diner. They decide a diner is easier and more money.
There is also an interesting character named Wolf (Keitel). He is a mobster cleanup man who instructs on how to do the job.
The film's stories weave in and out, there is a lot of dialogue that is mesmerizing. Talk about Big Mac's in Paris and why someone was killed because he massaged the feet of big boss's wife, Mia. Sometimes the dialogue goes so long you know it is on purpose - like a rhythmic "riff" to the ears - The movie is original and bright though the theme is dark in the noir way.
There are lengthy scenes presented out of sequence. I don't know how the movie is held together unless the a feeling of the playfulness of the actors as they enjoy their characters.
The final scene brings the movie together - ties it in a neat little package.
