Movie Quiz: Are you a Tarantino fan? Prove it with 8/8!

In 1994, two years after making his first feature film Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino returned with what would be considered one of the pinnacles of his filmography a few years later: Pulp Fiction.

The second feature film was to be a huge critical and public success, winning the Palme d’Or at the 47th Cannes Film Festival and winning Quentin Tarantino and Roger Ewary an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film’s release in France, we invite you to test your memory with these eight questions about Pulp Fiction. Before that, some shooting secrets.

The genesis of the project

Quentin Tarantino wrote two of the three stories that make up the film long before he wrote the screenplays for Reservoir Dogs, his first film, and True Romance, directed by Tony Scott. It was after the success of these two films that he wrote the third part of Pulp Fiction. Initially, the project was to be completed by three different directors.

Travolta instead of Madsen

Michael Madsen was originally supposed to play the role of Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, but during rehearsals for Lawrence Kasdan’s Wyatt Earp, the actor was forced to drop out in favor of John Travolta.

All we saw was fire

For the best observers, in the scene where Captain Coons gives the watch to Butch, Christopher Walken marks a break at the end of the explanation. This break, which gives the impression of not being there by accident, was actually not planned: the actor simply forgot the end of the text. He eventually managed to recover the shot and the film crew decided not to shoot the scene to allow for its authenticity.
