When you wondered does John Travolta "even know how to dance" that was the cutest, funniest thing ever. Love your videos!
🤣🤗👌🏼✌🏼
I guess she hasn't seen Saturday Night Fever
@@bernardsalvatore1929 or Staying Alive, Urban Cowboy, even the video w/Pitbull
Let's not forget Grease!
J T taught us all how to dance
"Don't be a square" - Square was a slang term in the US in the 1950s & 60s for someone who was uptight, straight-laced, and boring, not at all hip or cool. You wouldn't hear it much today, but the movie was made quite a while ago, and they were at a 1960's themed diner, so it was appropriate for her to use it in that context as a throwback. Love your reactions!
Are you a time traveler? This video was just posted today but your comment says it's from a week ago.
@@dsfddsgh Kind of... Patreon members get early access.
Like... total L7 man....
I wonder what kids today would think of Kookie or Maynard. Gotta clue these cube cats in on the scene.
It's actually a nod to an old episode of The Flintstones.
Fred and Barney form some lame rock band or something that becomes a hit with the teenagers so the wives craft a plot to ruin their popularity by spreading the rumor that Fred and Barney are squares where they would make the same shape in the air forming the dotted outline of a square.
@@Lethgar_Smith
It comes from before that. The Flinstones was making a reference to something that was already common slang.
"No more LA privileges" means that Marcellus is telling Butch that he won't be safe if he ever comes back to Los Angeles.
What does it actually mean, though?
He can't show himself in:
- The City of Los Angeles?
- Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana Urbanized Area?
- Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana Metropolitan Statistical Area?
- Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside Combined Statistical Area?
- Los Angeles County?
@@scipioafricanus5871 He didn't know about Vincent yet so Butch should probably just stay out of California entirely.
@@scipioafricanus5871 That means if one of Marcellus' goons sees him about, he's gonna get medieval on Butch's ass.
So to answer your question: It all depends on how lucky Butch feels, because if someone whos either in Marcellus organization or sells info to those sees him, hes toast.
@@DerOberfeldwebel But these goons would have to spot Butch on Marcellus' turf I take it. So if they happen to be in San Diego and Butch shows up there they are not authorized to go medieval on his ass...
@@scipioafricanus5871 Obviously, but Marcellus HQ seems to b in LA, so thats where most of his goons are. hence, one of them sees Butch in LA, he's fair game. They don't give a damn if they meet him in SD or Tulsa, or Whateverville. Consider it like a court order, only its not like, 'if Butch gets closer than 500 feet to, say, Mia, collect the guy', but 'You see that fucker around LA, either ice him or bring him to me so I can do it.'
"Fonzie" is Arthur Herbert "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, a.k.a. "The Fonz", a self-assured leather-jacketed 1950s/60s biker character played by Henry Winkler on the U.S. TV situation comedy "Happy Days". For several years in the 1970s, Fonzie was considered just about the coolest character in America.
Fonzie would have been PERFECT to be a waiter in the restaurant Vincent and Mia go to by the way.
@@MrTommygunz420 more fittingly, the jukebox repair guy got to wear that cosplay.
Dasha may be interested to know that “Happy Days” also starred Ron Howard, who would later go on to direct “Apollo 13” (and many other acclaimed films).
All these years I thought he said "Fozzie" as in Fozzie Bear!!
@@Peter-tg1kk 😂
That is the BEST reaction to this movie I've seen. I don't care you didn't get every reference. You followed the movie and enjoyed the dialogue without complaining about the time jumping. You appreciated this as it was. Love you! Keep it coming.
I think one of the great things about watching Dasha's reactions, is that she has not been inundated with pop culture during her youth, giving a fresh reaction to films. With Tarantino having a lot of references to pop culture, I am not surprised she does not get a lot of the references.
She did great !
Well said, Dasha is amazing! I thought I was the only person who pays attention to ever word, but she does too!
I love how you could tell that even tho Dasha isn't into drugs, she picked up that Mia assumed the drugs she found in Vincent's coat was cocaine, and that it might be trouble snorting the heroine, as Vincent was shown injecting it with a needle. A+, best reaction I've ever seen.
why would a single person "complain" about the time jumping?
low iq@@highstimulation2497
Martin and Lewis was a famous comedic duo, while Amos and Andy were a famous couple of characters from a 50's sitcom. Martin and Lewis were white while Amos and Andy were black. The waiter was asking if she wanted her milkshake as vanilla or chocolate.
Amos 'n' Andy began as a radio program in the late 20's ;-)
@@gregall2178 And was adapted into a popular TV sitcom in the 40's and ran in to the mid 50's.
@william walsh While you are spot on, to be absolutely fair, Martin and Lewis also portray quite negative stereotypes of white men.
They were at the restaurant also, or at least a reasonable facsimile there of.
Ive been listening to this movies soundtrack as an album for ever
This one and Jackie Brown have an amazing soundtrack. But then all his movies have that.
@@orarinnsnorrason4614 also Scorsese movies
Agreed
Marsellus's presence was no coincidence: he was waiting for Butch at his apartment with Vincent, but stepped out to get them coffee (you can see him holding two when he crosses before Butch). Vincent dropped his guard while he was in the bathroom and, hearing Butch get in, he assumed it was Marsellus coming back. The submachine gun on the counter was also Marsellus's.
The boss took the easiest post since it’s unlikely Butch was going to return to his apartment.
@@FullOfMalarkyBoth of these comments have brought up points and Facts about the movie that, in almost 30 years of watching and re-watching it, I have never once considered!
Cheers guys!
@@Will-fk2dk This also never occurred to me until someone pointed it out. Others pointed out that Vincent is in the bathroom a lot because heroin makes you constipated.
i loved it when you asked if he can dance!!! John Travolta is famous for his dancing ability. watch Saturday Night Fever!
Or Grease!
When Mia is directing Vincent to the intercom, she says "disco" when he gets there ;-)
Saturday Night Fever did not age well, it is a harsh racist movie and masoginsitic...that being said one of my favorite sound tracks
She meant Vince, not Travolta.
Nick Fury's gravestone in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" reads "The path of the righteous man..." "Ezekiel 25:17". It's an allusion to Samuel L. Jackson's role in Pulp Fiction.
Trash superhero movie. Rip offs to keep dumb folks going to the theater
Awesome! Good catch!
I didn't notice that easter egg. Cool.
@@gregoryhankel7988 A knowing reference (also known as an easter egg) isn't quite the same thing as a rip off.
Yeah and Nick Fury being chasef around downtown in that film was an inversion of O.J. Simpson's real life white Bronco pursuit.
You REALLY want to question reality vs fiction and look up the D.C. sniper killings (Winter Soldier).
Check out a victim nicknamed "Sonny" (Bucky).
It is ALL a lie you SLAVES!!!
Hollywood, News, Sports and likely this harlot with her thick accent.
Wake up
My parents accidentally took my 80 plus year old grandmother to see this movie in the theater. At the start of the cussing, grandma was like, "Oh my, oh no, oh my." I later heard. One movie intro she NEVER forgot. Lol
Lots of references that a young person, particularly a young person from another country won't get.
Fonzie is a famous character from an American TV show called Happy Days. The show was on TV from about 1974 to 1983. The show was set in the 1950s. Fonzie was very cool.
Correctomundo.
@@BigSleepyOx yep
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"
Got a little resurgence when Windows 95 came out, with that song from Weezer.
Whenever the Fonz was brought up in front of my mother, she would start talking about a guy that looked and dressed just like Henry Winkler's character, who hung out at a bar my parents frequented after WWII. He called himself "Ace," and dealt marijuana in the men's room, which brings up another line from the Fonz, "Step into my office." Many of my father's friends smoked pot, but my father was too cool. It was a very different time.
One of the best dialogue movies in existence. It's amazing how the right director can make simple conversations so mesmerizing.
dialogue is more about writing and acting than direction
@@helvete_ingres4717 which Tarantino did both. But he also possesses the unique ability in encouraging actors in how they deliver those lines. Which is more the directing side.
@@RicoRaynn impossible to tell how much is direction vs. the actor's own interpretation, depending on how much freedom to interpret the character the director allows to the actors, obvs that varies from director to director
@@helvete_ingres4717 well Tarantino is know for taking actors on a 'downward slope' and revitalizing their careers thru his films by showing their talents. Travolta was the biggest but even in Hateful 8 he helped Russel and Leigh find new purpose and excitement in the work. That's a rare quality especially in today's Hollywood which has been pretty bankrupt at producing anything engaging and original without already having a blueprint (comic book, novel, early tv show). And even then, sometimes they royally F that up as well (majority of the modern Star Wars IP).
QT likes to include dialogue which is not plot driven. normal conversations give the film a more natural element to them.
10:23 Martin & Lewis where a white comedy duo, Amos and Andy where a black comedy duo. Because it's a movie/TV themed restaurant, that's how the waiter asks if she wanted a vanilla or chocolate shake.
28:11
The guy who's talking is Quentin Tarantino himself!He does a lot of cameos in his own movies!
He did a spot in Django unchained as well
@@nsasupporter7557
If Hateful 8 is one of the worst movies you’ve ever seen, you need to watch more movies.
@@nsasupporter7557
And what exactly makes it one of the worst you’ve seen? Genuinely very curious.
@@nsasupporter7557
I was pretty ambivalent towards the movie. Saw it once and have mostly forgotten it, but I can remember enjoying it well enough and admiring the filmmaking. It’s a well-made movie, which is why I find it ridiculous to say it’s one of the worst you’ve seen, even if I didn’t care all that much about it. Me asking you why it’s so bad is a genuine question that you don’t want to answer for some reason. Just saying, if you can’t back up your opinion on the matter, why voice it in the first place?
@@nsasupporter7557
Aw, so your criticisms basically amount to “this was bad and I didn’t like it” and not anything deconstructive or insightful. Just wanted to be sure. Anyways, I don’t care if you hate the movie. I just thought your opinion was hyperbolic and dumb. I’m allowed to have that opinion regarding your opinion because that’s how opinions work. Critique can be critiqued. Now won’t you be a doll and just accept my opinion? ;)
Mia Wallace: 👉⬜👈
Dasha: Don't be a box?
Me: 😁
"LA privileges" means Butch needs to stay out of Los Angeles.
I am glad you are entering the Tarantino rabbit hole. Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are such great films.
Reservoir Dogs, hands down a must see before going down the rabbit hole of Tarantino films.
The H8teful Eight
From Dusk Til Dawn
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is just about my favorite now, but it's a movie that cannot be appreciated by young people who knows none of the many, MANY historical and pop culture references that it's stuffed to the gills with. As for The Hateful Eight, I despise it. I think it's Tarantino at his absolute worst.
A thought occurred to me. How cool would it be if Netflix gave Tarantino a boatload of money to do an actual Fox Force Five series?
When she says “ Vincent “ name in a lower register on stage b4 the dance, she is imitating Elvis Presley….most pple don’t realize that…..Vincent is a huge Elvis fan
A little something that most people don't know about Pulp Fiction..
When Vincent and Mia come back with the dance trophy, most people assume they won the dance contest.
But if you listen closely to the radio when Butch goes to the apartment to get his watch, you can hear the radio announcer talking about how the trophy was stolen!
Wow! Never heard that.
I just watched it and there's never a radio announcer talking about the trophie.
When Butch drives to the apartment the radio isn't on.
When he's driving from the apartment the radio is on when he starts the car but it's playing Flowers on the Wall and there's never an announcer.
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob - Huh. Your comment made me dig a little deeper. When Butch is walking the back way to his apartment (roughly 8 seconds after he gets out of the car, as he walks past an open side window of a building) you can hear a woman's voice on a radio mention “Jack Rabbit Slim’s,” the name of the restaurant where the twist competition happened. I'd always thought it was talking about the trophy being stolen, but apparently not. Seems it's just an ad for their $5 shakes, although apart from the words “Jack Rabbit Slim’s," it's VERY indistinct. My bad, and my apologies for helping spread what turns out to be an urban legend. Here's a link to a clip so you can hear it for yourself. czcams.com/video/7RbAPmKyMdA/video.html&t=25s
@@nsasupporter7557 - Apparently so. I'd always thought it was the case, but it turns out I was wrong. Ah well.. another lovely urban legend has been slain by a brutal fact!
The film's title, "Pulp Fiction", refers to the often lurid, seamy, and sensational stories that tended to appear in the "pulp magazines" of the first half of the 20th century (so called because they were printed on cheap pulp paper rather than the slick glossy paper used in modern magazines). This movie is the 1990s equivalent of a garish serial crime novel that might have appeared in the pages of Black Mask or Spicy Detective magazine in the 1930s.
I understand maybe six words you said
@@nodical802 That’s your problem then. I’ll grant an exception if English isn’t your first language, but based on the “I’m yet another clown who takes literacy for granted” vibe your comment gives off, I’m betting you’re just another spoiled fool who doesn’t appreciate anything. Here’s a novel idea: Crack open a damn dictionary or go to a dictionary website and look up words you don’t understand instead of proudly announcing your ignorance. Christ. I fucking hate this era. Nobody knows, understands, or appreciates ANYTHING anymore, and everyone else suffers because of it.
Translation: You’re an ignorant asshole and I despise you for being so proudly clueless.
The opening music was "Misirlou" by Dick Dale. He was a notable for his guitar centric surfer music from the 1960s.
And also for the iconic quote "You do what you do, and you don't do what you don't do."
Vince's dealer was out of the bag that heroin commonly comes in. When Mia found his stash in a twisted baggie, she assumed it was cocaine and subsequently mixed coke with horse.
Btw, heroin addicts have constipation, which may be why Vince spends so much time on the toilet. :-/
What? There is no special bag that heroin comes in lol. Where did you get this idea? Most heroin is sold in quantities lower then a gram, and very commonly comes in a piece of plastic wrapped up in a "twist".
I believe heroin was commonly sold in balloons on the street. Also, if you were constipated you wouldn't be on the toilet. If you're constipated you can't have trouble emptying your bowels. I think you confused constipation with diarrhea.
@@jeffburnham6611 What? Constipation means you've got food "stuck". Are you trolling?
@@redjakOfficial Mate, he's 100% usin heroin lol! Don't know how u heard that convo so wrong, but yeah it's harry 4 sure.

@@lizcatty9281 u are right. My mistake came from a shitty translation in the french dub. My bad.
Fonzie is the cool character on the late 70's TV show Happy Days.
Hey! Thumbs up
One of the most solid sound tracks of any movie.
"Ok, now he's going to call the police?"
Something like that.
This is also the guy who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel movies
And in the end of The Winter Soldier, when Nick Fury visits his grave, there's his catchphrase from pulp fiction written on it!
It's weird how culture goes in thirty year nostalgia cycles, especially when you get nostalgic for movies like this that were being nostalgic for the previous cycle. So I'm looking fondly back on a movie that was itself fondly looking back.
I love her!!! She's adorable!!!
The word "cooties" originally referred to human body lice, but in the U.S. it has come to refer to an imaginary infectious agent that kids tease other kids about having.
The Twist is a dance originally created to accompany Hank Ballard and The Midnighters' 1959 song of the same title. The dance was popularized by Chubby Checker, whose cover of Ballard's song was a big hit in 1960.
"Having cooties" means having something unwanted that you could spread to somebody else. "Cooties" was originally a slang term for lice, and you wanted to stay away from someone who has lice ("has cooties") to avoid becoming infested yourself. Over time, it became a general metaphor for having something that people don't want to catch from you. It could be literal like a contagious disease, or it could be figurative like political unpopularity.
When I was a little kid, 'girl cooties' were something boys tried to avoid.
@@clownzzz4837 Whether you realized it or not, you were figuratively trying avoid getting crabs.
Going back to the louse origin and childhood, Cootie is also a kid's game from Hasbro in which the players collect the necessary body parts to put together a funny looking plastic insect.
Basically a thing boys like to rumor girls having.
"Girls have no sugar, spice, or anything nice. Only cooties."
Dasha: I hope the movie explains what the title means.
The very first scene: Webster's Dictionary defines it this way...
The end of the story actually takes place almost in the middle of the movie when the girl and Bruce Willis ride off on the motorcycle.
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched the film and watched Y.T reviewers. Thanks for letting me watch it again, through your eyes!
You got it wrong. They ride dead zedd's motorcycle a day or two after the end scene of this film
@@aaxyz9990 That's right and that's exactly what I said.
The fact that you like the music and have a necklace with "Babe" - that is the PERFECT wardrobe for this movie *chefs kiss*. The reason marcellus wife OD's on Vince's heroin is because she's a coke addict and she thinks the drugs she finds in vincents jacket is coke. She cuts a fat line and snorts it thinking its coke- what she's used to, and not heroin and therefore, OD's.
The dealer mentioned he was out of latex balloons (which heroin is normally kept in) so he put it in a plastic bag (which cocaine is normally kept in). That's why Mia made that mistake.
Does John Travolta even know how to dance?!? Haha
Sounds like Dasha needs to watch Saturday Night Fever!!!
The most popular theory over the years as to what's in the briefcase, is that it's Marcellas Wallace's soul.
It's Tarantino's N-word privileges.
The soundtrack from this movie was one of my first CDs, it's all gold!
First experienced this movie aged 11 on pirated VHS and my love / hate relationship with Tarantino began. Jules and Vincent's story alone is worth it's own feature imo but it's all great.
Vincent appears in the movie Great White Hype at the boxing match. Samuel L Jackson's character actually asks him where's Jules.
Other Tarantino films you should react to are "Jackie Brown", "Kill Bill vol.1&2", "Django Unchained" and many others. "Fonzie" is a character from a 1960's -70's tv show called "Happy Days"! I love your reactions! Can't wait to see you LOTR Return of the King reaction. LOTR Is one of the best trilogies ever made! I am so happy you are enjoying them. Have a wonderful day, Dasha!😃😁😺
Thumbs up to "Jackie Brown". Samuel L. Jackson plays a very suspenseful bad guy in that one as well.
And the soundtrack in "Jackie Brown" is excellent as well, the same kind of music Dasha liked in "Pulp Fiction", and even an even better overall collection of songs in my opinion.
those movie were a rape of the books... they should not have taken someone who hates Lord of the rings to make the movies...
@@Metzwerg74 ?
@@davidl7605 the lord of the rings are among the worst movies ever made....
@@Metzwerg74 And, some people think the Star Wars sequel trilogy is the best trilogy. That's the worst trilogy in the history of cinema. And, why did you bring up LOTR in a comment section of a Pulp Fiction movie reaction?
During the opening scene in the diner, if you listen very carefully, you can hear Jules and Vincent talking - the same dialogue that happens in the final scene.
The manager of the coffee shop is listed in the credits as simply a "coffee shop" because during the film, he only says "I'm just a coffee shop..." before being cut off.
While, yes, the song is the background of "Pump It", the original is a song called Miserlou, a song that popularized a genre of 'surf rock' in the 1960s. But it itself is from a (I think Greek?) folk song that originated in the 1920s or so. So you have a video from a Russian woman living in Canada in 2021, reviewing an American Film made in 1994, which quotes a recording of a song from 1962 made by a Lebanese-American artist, which itself is a rehash of a folk song from at least the 1920s in Greece. It's amazing how cyclical pop culture can be. I love tracing the origin stories of so many things in pop culture.
One of THE COOLEST, BEST, GREATEST Reactions of ALLLLLL TIMEEEEE ! That was so much FUN, Your face Hahahahahahaha Superb Dasha !!!
Such a great movie and fun reaction lol. x 💕
Marcellus was on the coffee run - thats why Vincent didnt cut it off and come out when he heard Butch in the apartment he thought it was Marcellus coming back with the coffee... I always wondered - was it Butch who keyed Vincent's car after they had their run in at the bar? I think the case was full of drugs - which to an addict would maybe glow(?) like the holly grail... I think the college boys wanted to play drug dealer - when they couldn't move the product quickly enough Marcellus lost patience and sent the guys to collect and punish the bad dealers... Great video....
According to Dvd commentary, it actually WAS Butch who keyed the car.
What a great reaction! I had to watch this movie twice to figure out what was going on, but you got it right away. Thank you for the wonderful show!
Excellent. Can't wait for more Tarantino reactions...the man is a genius. This was the big Travolta come-back movie. And we all knew he can dance...his 70s movie 'Saturday Night Fever' is a must see stylish drama of the disco era.
"Don’t be a… box ?" 📦
Lol never change, Dasha !
Very nice reaction, Dasha! And here's a bit of help on some of those obscure American cultural references:
10:03 When she said, "Don't be a," and drew a square, the term 'square' refers to a person who is old-fashioned and conventional. It originated in the jazz community in the 1940s, where it meant a person unfamiliar with current musical trends. She's poking fun at Vincent for his reaction to the restaurant.
10:20 The waiter was asking her if she wanted a vanilla or chocolate milk shake. 'Martin and Lewis' refers to an entertainment duo who were white, and who acted in several comedy movies, Dean Martin (the serious one who set up the jokes, also a famous singer) and Jerry Lewis (the comedian). 'Amos and Andy' was a comedy duo who were black, who starred in a famous radio program.
11:21 'Cooties' refers to an imaginary disease or germs that someone can 'catch' (meaning it's contagious) by touching someone who is socially rejected or unpopular. Here, she uses it to tell him he has nothing to fear by drinking after her, by describing it in this joking way.
14:35 When she finds the heroin in his coat pocket, she thinks it's cocaine because of the baggie. If it were heroin, it would usually be in a latex balloon, but back at the drug dealer's house, he said he was out of those, and would Vincent mind it being in a baggie? Also, the overdose scene has several flaws in comparison to the real world. She snorted too large of an amount of heroin, one that an experienced cocaine user might do with that drug, but not with heroin. A bump of heroin that big could lead to overdose, but not immediately, and usually not with foam and bleeding, because heroin would actually not be as harsh on the nasal lining as the same amount of cocaine would. Tarantino is helping perpetuate a myth that heroin must be cooked over heat with a liquid and injected, otherwise it's too toxic to take without this extra processing, but heroin junkies the world over take it with various methods, including snorting, without this dramatic reaction. It would likely go into the bloodstream over 10 minutes or so, and the overdose would take the form of the respiratory system gradually slowing down, causing her to lose consciousness and eventually suffocate. The foam could possibly be vomit, which she could aspirate and choke on, but again only after she'd lost consciousness, not immediately as shown. Also, a shot of adrenaline (i.e., 'epinephrine', usually seen in a pre-filled hypodermic called an 'epi pen') is given in order to counteract the effects of anaphylaxis, an allergy attack, not a drug overdose. It is injected into a large muscle, not stabbed into someone's heart, a procedure which could cause its own damage.
33:35 'Fonzie' was a character in the TV sitcom _Happy Days,_ which ran from 1974-1984, depicting American life in the 1950s and 1960s. Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli ('the Fonz') was a street-tough motorcycle rider with slicked-back hair, dark bomber-style jacket and jeans, and who had a reputation among the other characters for being very 'cool'.
Oh, and the Ezekiel 25:17 quote isn't actually what's in the Bible for that verse, it's a speech totally written by Tarantino.
Hope that helps when you re-watch it! Enjoy!
The Twist was a song from the early 1960's accompanied by a specific style of dancing
Many of the slang words used throughout the movie were from the 1960's and 1970's. Slang like "don't be a square" refers to someone that is uncool or not fun to be around. The Twist was a dance style popular in the late 1950's named for the song The Twist, but the song they were dancing to was not it. In fact the entire restaurant had themes from the 1950-1960's.
@dasha You probably won’t read this since this is an older video, but I have never noticed your laugh before in your reactions like this one. It was contagious! Thanks for being a public figure.
The suitcase is just a McGuffin that is used to bring the plot forward and just attach this string of events together. A fan theory is that its Marcellus' soul, hence the gold glow when opened. Also possibly supporting is the band aid on the back of his neck where it was extracted from his body. Its a good hypothesis and has some merit inside the movie. Ture? Who knows?....
Ving Rhames had a bandage on his neck because he cut himself shaving his head. Tarantino just thought it looked cool.
The “soul” theory makes no sense to me. Whatever it is, it’s instantly recognizable to Tim Roth’s character. I don’t think a soul would prompt the question “is that what I think it is?” And how would Brad have a soul in a briefcase? I like the fan theory that it’s the Holy Grail. That’s the sort of thing that would prompt the breathless question “is that what I think it is?”
Yeah, I hear that fan theory a Lot, that theory is wrong. You're right the briefcase was a textbook "MacGuffin", added by the writers Roger Avary and Tarantino.
tamarleigh is right, Tim Roth's line gives it away that it is something an average Joe recognizes.
Additionally, about the briefcase, Pulp Fiction writer Avary said this:
"Originally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen. This way each audience member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate contents. All you were supposed to know was that it was "so beautiful." No prop master can come up with something better than each individual's imagination."
Ture or Fales?
"Top of my favorite movies I've ever watched"... I felt the same way when I saw this 29 years ago. Timeless.
28:07 It is lmao 😂 That doesn’t stop many non-BIPOC folk from doing it anyway, and since not every character has to be good/a moral role model, it makes sense that some characters ignore the ethical considerations of what they say 💁🏻♀️ Another great example in film is “In Bruge” by Martin McDonagh! It’s also just straight-up a great dark crime comedy that I’m sure many of us would love to see you react to haha
This is one of the best reactions to Pulp Fiction I've seen. Love your channel.
I saw this in the theater opening day. packed theater cheers got louder for each weapon Bruce picked up and went crazy when he lifted the sword off the rack. Lively crowd for the whole movie. it was great to have that awesome of an audience cheering and getting into the movie.
Fun Fact: This movie, along w/ _Forrest Gump_ and the original _Lion King_ were all in theatres in the same time!
Dasha. The expression on your face when they lay the gun on the restuarant table and decide to rob the place was NEXT LEVEL PRICESLESS. You just made my day. HAHAHA
Glad someone recommended a Tarantino movie to you. He is the master of dialogue. Highly recommend you check out all his catalogue of movies. You'll not be disappointed.
Also the music is amazing in all his movies. As a Russian I think you'd appreciate all his movies because the dialogue.
The dance contest is a throwback to Travolta because he is famous for Saturday Night Fever, legendary dance movie.
Vincent didnt leave his gun while he was in the bathroom that's Marcellus' gun he left to get coffee and donuts. Anther tidbit, they didnt win the dance contest. They lost and stole the trophy but that portion was cut out in editing. The reason why they didnt kill Marvin (except accidentally) is he was an informant working for Marcellus.
The song in the credits is Miserlou by Dick Dale. It's a 1960's surf rock cover of a folk song. The Black Eyed Peas "sampled" it in 2006. Quentin Tarantino played an Elvis impersonator on the TV show The Golden Girls. He was a household name after Reservoir Dogs(1992) and Pulp Fiction(1994). Once Upon a Time in Hollywood(2019) is his most recent film.
Every time Vincent uses a bathroom something bad happens.
1. Mia overdoses on heroin.
2. He is shot and killed by Butch.
3. The coffee shop gets robbed.
We need a Django Unchained reaction 👌
Let’s try Kill Bill 1&2 first. We should ease her into these things🤣
All of Tarantino honestly
*Now, whenever you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, watch for the fictional products. Especially "Red Apple Cigarettes"🍎🚬and "Big Kahuna Burger" 🏄🍔. There's also "G.O. Juice", and "Teriyaki Donuts"* 🗾🍩
Fun little tidbit, the track you heard at the beginning, which you recognised from Black Eyed Peas' Pump It, comes from a Greek folk song called Misirloú, and talks about a man's infatuation for a woman. Now, this arrangement is quite different from the original, but it's the same melody.
Pulp Fiction is a cornerstone of American 90s film. It's still in my top 10. I'm glad you watched it.
"Is she gonna shoot it too" No, and that's the problem. She thinks it's cocaine which you can ingest a fair amount of. But it's heroin which only takes a little bit to mess you up. So when she snorts a big fat line of it....that's trouble.
AND that heroin’s some pretty strong shit.
"don't be a box?" you're great Dasha
I almost lost it at 'Don't be a box'! This was not an easy film to follow for someone unfamiliar with Tarantino's style. Not only that but it would have been difficult for you to pick up many of the pop-culture references in the retro cafe scene and you understandably missed most of them. But as usual you got right on top of the black humor and plot sequence in spite of the unorthodox narrative style and characteristic Tarantino 'nastiness'. He's good and will always challenge you but personally I would like to see more 'feelgood' material from you. That's just me. Yes, great soundtrack, reviving interest in the likes of Dusty Springfield, Dick Dale and Neil Diamond. all dating back to the 60s.
I kinda figured it would be hard for her to follow. In addition to many American cultural references, she also had to deal with outdated cultural references from the 1970s.
@@centuryrox just curious, how do you know specifically it’s 1970s lingo .
15:04 is one of the cutest moments in any reaction video 🤗
15:55- yes while way more expensive and less available, adrenaline shots were like the "Narcan"(opioid overdose/reversing inhalers;) of the 1990's. They weren't anywhere near as effective, and had to be refrigerated too which is why they were not an everyday thing for people who aren't drug dealers to have.
Source: son of an emergency room doctor for 30 years in a state ~Belgium sized that has in the top 10 per capita using it; and dinner table conversation growing up was "interesting patients of the day" after I talked about what I learned in school.🤔
Also earlier in the film... The depiction of doing the heroin is fairly accurate for the time (before the synthetic ones of today you used to have to "cook" it with a few mL water in a spoon first;) but it was supposed to be unsettling.
You're new to Tarantino (who is "Jimmy" in The Bonnie Situation, he always plays someone minor in his own films;) but he is a habitual boundary pusher and line crosser. That's probably why he works so well with Samuel L Jackson in several of them.
Ahhhhh, Dasha. You are now in the Tarantino Fan circle. Thank you for joining us. Your next movie needs to be "Reservoir Dogs", Then "Kill Bill", followed by "Inglorious Bastards", Django Unchained." The dialogue that you loved so much in "Pulp Fiction" is the signature aspect of all of Tarantino films.
The movie 'Jackie Brown ' too.
Dasha, you are the sweetest. I love your reactions. 😍
I love how Mr. Wolf is having some kind of formal party at 8 AM in the morning and it's never explained, lol.
A great accent, great English, a great laugh, a great reaction & a great film. Спасибо 😁👍🇬🇧
About the shakes: Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were a comedy team (until Martin left for a solo singing career). They were both white. Amos and Andy was a situation comedy where the main characters were black. The waiter was asking whether she wanted a vanilla or chocolate shake.
The reason they don't make the milkshake glasses bigger is that the customer feels like they're getting more if the extra is in a second container. It's marketing.
Cooties is a fictional illness that can be passed from one person to another. I think it originally mean lice, but now it just means the person is icky. Pre-teen children worry about getting cooties from kids of the opposite sex. When adults talk about cooties, they're usually joking.
The Twist is a dance that was very popular in the early 60s. Singer Chubby Checker had a couple of hit records about it: The Twist (in 1960) and Let's Twist Again (in 1961).
"Does he even know how to dance?" - 😆😆😆
Yes, it's bad to say that word. These are bad people. They talk like that. It's not as shocking as a lot of the other stuff in this movie.
No one knows what was in the briefcase. Quentin Tarantino deliberately left it an unanswered question. All we know is that it's something that glows, and it's really impressive. I think it's better that we don't know. If we knew, the answer would probably be disappointing.
Great movie and reaction Dashy!
Pulp Fiction was a movie that wasn't afraid to be different, so different. That's why I like it.... and it is so well done
Yeah we definitely all want to wipe our memories and watch this for the first time again too. An all time great. You'll want to dig into the rest of Tarantino's movies if you liked this. They're all great and each brings something a little different to the table.
quentin tarantino always has the best sound tracks, fantastic music
You did recognize Samuel L. Jackson from Star Wars anyway but not as Nick Fury from the MCU
Yup, this movie has been in my top 10 for twenty years.
If enjoy the dialogue, you should check out more Tarantino movies. One of the my favorites is Inglorious Basterds (bar scene) but there's plenty of other good ones. Reservoir Dogs is another good one, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (but they are all good). Tarantino is a master like a conductor of an orchestra in terms of building tension within a scene, or having real conversations between characters that are random or relatable.
She asks if Travolta knows how to dance... Dasha, you're sweet... lol
Loved your reaction! also you are absolutely adorable!
I sure wish you had more like buttons, or maybe a love button, as this is the 4th time I have watched this reaction.... You are so adorable!!!
The innocence and passion of Dasha when she reviews and reacts to these movies is a breath of fresh air. Giggles laughing smiling and then Terror! A film with so many classic moments and lines. Just Brilliant just like this channel. Cheer's 🇬🇧
Lol dasha crushing on Uma for like 25 minutes :)
Go down the Tarantino rabbit hole Dasha….yes they are bloody at times but all have style and are really good…some great! For pure girl power…go with “Kill Bill” next!
A million times yes! Kill Bill is easily two of the most badass movies ever. Also worth a note that the idea for Kill Bill had its genesis while Tarantino was directing Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.
She will love django
@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr I'm torn between recommending she watches them in order or jump to Django. She might enjoy Inglourious Basterds more than Kill Bill as well. Hope the patreon folks voted for one of the two.
@@menolikey_ they aren't chronological beyond a few Easter eggs, so don't think it would matter too much. All of the Tarantino movies are good so. & she is young so will probably like the whole ninja ish of Kill Bill. Plus, the whole girl power thing lol.
@@menolikey_ but she does seem like more of a "thinking" person, so something like inglorious bastard could be very cool to her. Kinds like sitting back for a history lesson... & I think that is his most underrated movie btw, so good pick👌.
I loved your reaction much! Big cheers from LA. This movie is my all-time favorite. It's like being home.
Good movie choice, Pulp Fiction was all the rage when I was a kid.
The diner where the diner scene was filmed was in Hawthorne California and I used to pass by it everyday on my way home from highschool
Dasha's full length reaction to this on her Patreon is epic. Lots of dancing, smiles, and great emotion. Love it!!
The guy who they took the dead body to his house is Quentin Tarantino. He also shows up in his movies.
The timeline was a little difficult to unravel in this movie, but here is the general order:
The earliest event is of course Butch being given the watch as a child. Then you have a LOT of things that happen in a single day.
DAY ONE - Jules and Vincent talk about burgers in France, and the fact that Vincent is expected to take Mia out on a 'date'. Then we watch the apartment massacre. Then comes their messy ride home and the pit stop at Tarantino's house to clean up with the help of "The Wolf". Then the two show up at the restaurant (wearing the 'dorky' clothes the Wolf made them wear). The restaurant robbery goes down, but Jules is able to keep the briefcase to return it to Marcellus Wallace. Vincent and Jules arrive at the bar to give Marcellus the case (dressed in the 'dork' clothes). Butch is there meeting Marcellus, and agrees to throw the fight. That was all one day. We can assume that Jules informs Marcellus he's done working for him at this time, because he is not in any scenes that take place after this.
In the days following that big day, we see Vincent's 'date' with Mia, her accidental overdose, the shot of adrenaline, etc. Then comes another day... the fight where Butch kills the guy. The day after the fight, Butch returns to his apartment and kills Vincent. Because Jules is retired, Vincent was there with Marcellus waiting. After waiting all night to see if Butch would return, Marcellus leaves Jules there, and goes to get coffee and donuts. Butch sees Marcellus Wallace crossing the street with two coffees and a box of donuts, and hits him with the car. Then comes their "adventure" in the basement of the pawn shop. It all ends with Marcellus 'forgiving' Butch, but making him leave town forever.
Does John Travolta know how to dance? Oh Dasha...
Dasha - With regard to Travolta dancing, many commenters are referring to a Disco Movie called Saturday Night Fever in which J.T. dances to songs by the Bee Gees (Brothers Gibb). However, those commenters overlook his early dance career in a TV show called Welcome Back Kotter. Here is a clip of J.T dancing the Barbarino: czcams.com/video/lQR2isjXLZc/video.html
This is a clearer video including another rendition of the same dance: czcams.com/video/n13mlWPB6OU/video.html
Don't forget his dancing in a movie 2 years after Saturday Night Fever called "Urban Cowboy".
"Does he even know how to dance"! I think with a comment like that you need to watch "Saturday Night Fever" bit of a tragic movie if I remember correctly, but Travolta rocks it on the dancefloor.
"Does he even know how to dance?" Umm hello it's John fricken Travolta. LOL
"Aw man a shot Marvin in the face!"
Lol the best Line of the Movie.
Даша, я прям сам радовался как в первый раз) И пересматривать Чтиво это хорошая идея, там постоянно будут открываться маленькие шутки и поп-культурные отсылки
Dasha your reactions are the best! You are so cute every single time. Keep going Girl!!
