Happened across this movie cruising PlutoTV. Haven't seen it it in years. It is sooooo funny! Yes, there is a lot of fruity language, but with one exception, there's nothing I haven't said trying to fix a car or do some soldering in an awkward place.

I came in fairly near the end just before the need for Mr Wolf's cleanup.

Travolta on being told to strip, "Is this really necessary?"

Mr Wolf, "What to do think you look like right now? You look like two guys who just blew somebody's head off."

Well, DUH!!!

The interplay between Travolta and Jackson is just outstanding.

A classic!

I can watch it hundreds of times and still be entertained. If I am channel surfing and stumble across it I stop and watch.

If you have never seen Jackie Brown, another Tarantino great, I would check it out. Another great cast and movie.

Marsellus had the best lines, most can’t be repeated.

Kind of like Goodfellas?

I am not a big movie fan but Pulp Fiction is my all time favorite.

So many classic lines and such an array of characters.

Great movie !

Very entertaining movie!

Here's a couple of Guy Ritchie movies that I think you'd also enjoy:
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch

There aren't many clips I can show here, but this is an intro that's forum friendly...

Should have shot Punkin and Honey Bunny. Could never understand if the guy just stayed in the bathroom while his friends were getting shot, why come out at all?

Mmmmm, this is a tasty burger....

Me and my brothers laughed so hard at the overdose scene that people left the theatre. One of our all-time favorites. We would quote lines to each other. Almost died one day driving back from hunting in a deluge. As my brother tried to pilot the vehicle through a seemingly solid wall of rain, I looked over at him and said, "Does it rain like a bitch?!" So, we're travelling at 40 mph, can't see through the rain and now we are laughing so hard we can't see through the tears. Almost ran off the road.

My favorite scene

Love Pulp Fiction. Great movie!

Also, Brad Pitt in Snatch is outstanding. I think it's his best movie.

Pop Tarts and a trigger finger.

In Snatch, the opening sequence where the Hasidic diamond merchants walk talking about the correct translation of “the Virgin”, all on closed circuit cameras recalls Steve Buscemi’s riff in Reservoir Dogs on Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”.
Pulp Fiction deserved the Oscar that went to Forrest Gump. Better movie, more quotable lines

Samuel Jackson, a little out of character. He stopped by the gun show a couple months ago, seen here with my gun show partner. I don't think he bought anything, at least not from me. No one got offed that day.

I saw the unfiltered version and thought the language was really over the top.

More recently, it came on the tube again and I found I had to turn it off. All the objectionable terms were replaced with kinder, gentler language. Most notably, substituting "my brother" instead of the much nastier term.

Gangsters talking like that makes the movie just silly. Whether Tarantino is a great artist I will leave for others to debate, but bowdlerizing the dialog completely ruins the film for me.

I've tried to watch that movie twice; it sucked both times. Maybe I'm missing something here, but with rare exception, Tarantino ruins what could have been a good film. Hateful Eight is another such loser (and I'm a Samuel Jackson fan).

I don't like all of Tarantino's stuff either, but I do like some of it a lot. Like Pulp Fiction. I also thought his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was terrific. (I think maybe that one is generation specific in its appeal. For me, born in 1952, it was right on target.)

Another good Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown.

One of my favorite movies. "Do you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage...", one of the milder comments by Samuel J. Jackson elicits a chuckle for those who know what's getting ready to happen.

The scene where Vincent is shocked about the cost of the $5 milkshake really dates the movie. Today we would be shocked that was priced that low!

A favorite line:
"Ha, ha, ha, they're your clothes "my brother".

I have seen it enough times to have almost memorized the script. In a strange way the movie is mesmerizing and reels you in.

As to the language I already know all the naughty words. Quentin is just using the vernacular of the underworld culture he is depicting. "Keepin' it real" so to speak.

If the language was sanitized the movie simply would not work.

About the language.......right out of college I was working in one of those areas you don't want to be in at night. Or have a really good reason for being there in the day time. Felt really bad for those good people who had to endure it. And, there were quite a few.

At any rate I heard what I strongly expect are "those words" regularly used as nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. I can recall a surveillance when every third word from a group on the corner seemed to be "that word".

So, you might not like the language, but, for various classes of folks, it's just everyday terminology. Others use it for shock value-or to fit in with their group.

Saw it once on AMC which bleeps out profanity. All the bleeps made it sound like an air raid warning

I thought it was hilarious.

I too loved Once Upon a Time but not so much for the dialog but for the background shots.
I know almost every one of them, I used to run around on the same streets and even saw a few of the good looking hitch hikers.
Never saw a Manson Girl that I know of.
I hated the ending. I had a better one but Tarantino never asked my opinion.

When one of my kids was little, he went through this phase where he was a little distracted/self-absorbed and would reflexively say "What?" when I'd start to tell him something, even though he clearly heard me -- it was like it just took a second to register and I'd have to repeat myself. After a while it got so annoying I had to resist the urge to blurt out, "Say 'what' one more time **********!!!!"

Funniest bit in the movie was when he called the guy "Flock of Seagulls."
