After watching Django Unchained, I instantly went back to Pulp Fiction, and I have to say, it gets better with age. I've wanted to be a screenwriter ever since I read the Pulp Fiction screenplay when it came free with a copy of Total Film. It's a true masterclass in writing. Vincent Vega is an incredible character, and after re-watching the film several times over the years, his attitude definitely leads to his demise. His loyalty is questioned, he's foolish (Marvin's head, anyone) and he's disrespectful at times (The Wolf and Butch). He also breaks one of the biggest rules in boxing: Never underestimate your opponent. Butch wins by KO. I always wondered how the people around Vincent react to his death, particularly Mia and Marcellus. Does Jules ever find out about his friend, or is he too busy walking the earth to find out. Such a great, great film. You can write 10 sequels to Pulp Fiction in your own head. It's a sign of a classic.

I agree totally Daley. A sign of a great story to me is that it causes an audience to ask questions and let their curiosity roam wild after the credits role. While I was watching "Pulp Fiction" again this week I was thinking the same thing -how would Vincent's death effect the other characters? After that sickening run-in at the pawn ship, Marcellus excuses Butch for his not throwing his fight because Butch helps Marchellus escape. But The Big Man is unaware that Butch has also just finished shooting Vincent. This might cause Marcellus to not believe that they are even after all. With Jules and Vincent being the main protagonists, surviving near death (thanks to Divine Intervention) and possible arrest in a blood bath vehicle together, if Jules found out about Vincent's murder, would he go "wandering the Earth" for Butch? While we're at it...would the murderous Toothpic Vic Vega, Vincent's brother, hop out of "Reservoir Dogs" and go looking to give Butch the business also? Mia's brief friendship with Vincent, and his saving her life from drug-overdose, could provide enough mourning in her husband's ear to get an Anti-Butch cavalry riled up. I would RUN to see that movie!

Yes! I forgot to mention the Butch-Marcellus angle, too. Butch comes out of Pulp Fiction as the ultimate anti-hero: He kills Vincent, shows signs of being an abusive husband/lover, kills a man in the ring and gloats about it... The list goes on! You could make a thousand spin-offs out of Pulp. I'm so happy he didn't do it though!
