Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

Customer Reviews:
i used to like it.......2007-07-03
I used to love this film,i watched it several times over and never got bored with it. But now i hate it. I hate it not because of the violence, no there are many other movies w/ WAAAAAY more disturbing sequences in them, and this one is mild in comparison(alot of the violence is offscreen anyway). no the reason i hate this film is because i hate Tarantino. Like every film he's ever made, Pulp Fiction is just a rip off of all the blacksploitation/crime drama he's ever seen, hell even the infamous Ezekial 25:17 line is a rip from an old sonny chiba movie. I think its fair to say that this movie has no originality in it whatsoever. Sorry Mr. Tarantino u should have become a film critic at best, but a director, i dont think so. So people, if u want an original crime drama then pass this one up and try the French New Wave films,thats where Quentin the hack gets most of his ideas anyway.
Tarantino's Masterpiece.......2007-06-15
Pulp Fiction is one of the best American films ever made. As Tarantino was both writer and director the film has his mark all over it. The trademark use of natural dialog that essentially has nothing to with the plot. Scenes are shown chronologically out of sequence, which sounds odd but Tarantino makes it work to his advantage as the loveable rogues are still alive at the end of the film, in the scene where the film started from.
Tarantinos casting is perfect. John Travolta is a revelation, Samuel L Jackson is Samuel L Jackson, but this is before we knew who Samuel L Jackson was! Uma Thurman is also great, but in possibly the best scene in the film Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames also turn in teriffic performances. In a lovely cameo role Harvey Keitel also turns up near the end of the film as well.
There are cimematic nods to a number of Tarantinos favourite movies as well. The most noteable being the dance scene with Travolta and Thurman which is based on a sequence in Jean-Luc Goddard's 'Bande A Parte'.
This is a very violent film, but as the title indicates its a form of comic strip violence, and there is also an underlying black comedy element as well. It is endlessly watchable and quoteable and that is the sign of a really great film.
Well... let not start sucking each others....quite yet!.......2007-06-08
This is the most entertaining movie I have ever seen. Seen it at least 20 times. Just brilliant.
"There is no me and you. Not no more...".......2007-05-22
In "Pulp Fiction," director Quentin Tarantino consistently defies viewer expectation and delivers one of the best films of the '90s. You'll marvel at Tarantino's adept bending of time structure, brilliant dialogue and memorable images. Some indie fans may prefer the admittedly great "Reservoir Dogs," but I say no go: "Pulp Fiction" is a deeper, more audacious and more accomplished picture.
Plot synopsis is difficult when dealing with Tarantino's time-bending narrative, but here goes: "Pulp Fiction" commences with two hitmen -- Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) -- slinging hilarious dialogue (already considered classic) as they journey to collect some product from a soon-to-be former employee. After taking care of business, Travolta takes out his boss's lovely wife (Uma Thurman) as a favor to his out-of-town employer. A seemingly innocent night out turns into a unforgettable evening of '50s nostalgia, drug overdose and a memorable needle scene that will have the more squeamish population wincing.
The next sequence involves Bruce Willis as a boxer who agrees to throw a bout at the behest of Vincent's boss (Ving Rhames), but then has second thoughts. The situation gets considerably hairier when Willis and Rhames unexpectedly come face-to-face following the bout, and then must eventually join forces due to the most unforeseen of circumstances.
The movie does have its slow spots, most notably a dull sequence when a death-obsessed female cab driver peppers Willis with a series of bizarre questions. The scene isn't particularly funny, and in a 3-hour film it's clearly superfluous. That said, complaining about a single scene seems like sour grapes when discussing a masterpiece like Pulp Fiction. The film is consistently hilarious and pushes the envelope in just about every sense.
An oft-overlooked plot point is Jules' life-changing realization in the film's final act, a transformation that makes the movie about something instead of just a stylish piece of entertainment. Jackson's phenomenal performance is the best of many excellent acting turns, most notably John Travolta's outstanding comeback role, Uma Thurman's career-best peformane and Ving Rhames' star-making turn. Even the perpetually obnoxious Eric Stoltz is hilarious.
Andrzej Sekula's brilliant cinematography demands mention, making great scenes even greater (e.g. Travolta's walk down drug-trip lane). "Pulp Fiction" is a stunning film that deservedly cements Tarantino's position as one of the industry's hottest directors.
A royale with cheese.......2007-05-14
Awesome movie. The story is a complex intertwining adventure which will leave you thinking about it and trying to unravel it in your mind. Granted, the violence and language is a little extreme, but yet it is still done in a stylized manner. A must-have for Tarantino fans, crime drama fans, or for those who just appreciate good films.

My top 5 Favorites!.......2006-08-15
This movie is the pinnacle of excellent movie making. While Quentin Tarantino stays in my mind as one of the strangest individuals in the entertainment business after perhaps Crispin Glover and Michael Jackson, I think his ability to creat a cinematic masterpiece is of the highest level.
This movie stands as one of the greatest movies of all time. The intertwining of movie making and storyline are what make this movie so wonderful! Casting was top notch, as well as makeup and costume design. I liked watching the movie, not being sure if I was watching mid-80's or present time. For the record this movie came out in 1992.
I think Samuel L. Jackson deserved an oscar nomination for this one. It was phenomenal watching him on the big screen, especially during the shootout in the apartment. I also very much enjoyed the dialogue between him and John Travolta, especially before the shooting, as they are waiting to enter the apartment.
I give this high marks, and hope that others will take the time to watch this wonderful movie.
Two thumbs up! MC White says check it out!!!
PSP Technical Review - A Real Dissapointment.......2005-09-22
After 10 years, 'Pulp Fiction' still holds up as an absolute classic, and thankfully Beuna Vista/Miramax have released this gem on PSP for all us to enjoy.
How does it rate.....well, not so good I'm afraid.
Picture:
Like Kill Bill Vol 1+2, the picture is nice and sharp, and in it's Original Aspect ratio of 2:35. The black levels are a little mirky and lack that blackness of say Sin City, but still holds up well. A little desaturated on UMD, but i guess, so was the original film.
Score: 3/5
Audio:
This is where it falls to pieces. Basically, it stinks. A terrible audio presentation that begins and ends on the lowest volume I've experienced on any UMD. Even with the UMD volume set to +2 and on maximum, it's no-where near what it should be. It's trouble with the mastering. It's lacking on both the high ends and low ends. Lacking sharpness in the gushots that usually scare the hell out of me at the start, to the bass and richness of the infamous soundtrack...it lacks all.
Score: 1/5
Extras:
None, zilch, even the terrible menus were ripped straight from the DVD.
Score: 1/5
Overall:
One of my fav films, and one i was looking forward to all month, is below scratch. Not to say that it's unwatchable, just don't expect anything near great. Very bad Beuna Vista, very bad indeed.
Score: 2/5

Impossible to forget!.......2005-09-15
Tarantino really makes his space in the director chair with this movie. Starting with the great cast, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and more. Tarantino's amazing screen display, as well as an original plot makes this an amazing movie. From the beggining, to the end and beginning again(you'll get i't) you'll be blown by this movie. It mixes a lot of genres and the divisions of chapters and stories makes it really good for the trama. Really good movie and for the psp even better!!

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
Customer Reviews:
i used to like it.......2007-07-03
I used to love this film,i watched it several times over and never got bored with it. But now i hate it. I hate it not because of the violence, no there are many other movies w/ WAAAAAY more disturbing sequences in them, and this one is mild in comparison(alot of the violence is offscreen anyway). no the reason i hate this film is because i hate Tarantino. Like every film he's ever made, Pulp Fiction is just a rip off of all the blacksploitation/crime drama he's ever seen, hell even the infamous Ezekial 25:17 line is a rip from an old sonny chiba movie. I think its fair to say that this movie has no originality in it whatsoever. Sorry Mr. Tarantino u should have become a film critic at best, but a director, i dont think so. So people, if u want an original crime drama then pass this one up and try the French New Wave films,thats where Quentin the hack gets most of his ideas anyway.
Tarantino's Masterpiece.......2007-06-15
Pulp Fiction is one of the best American films ever made. As Tarantino was both writer and director the film has his mark all over it. The trademark use of natural dialog that essentially has nothing to with the plot. Scenes are shown chronologically out of sequence, which sounds odd but Tarantino makes it work to his advantage as the loveable rogues are still alive at the end of the film, in the scene where the film started from.
Tarantinos casting is perfect. John Travolta is a revelation, Samuel L Jackson is Samuel L Jackson, but this is before we knew who Samuel L Jackson was! Uma Thurman is also great, but in possibly the best scene in the film Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames also turn in teriffic performances. In a lovely cameo role Harvey Keitel also turns up near the end of the film as well.
There are cimematic nods to a number of Tarantinos favourite movies as well. The most noteable being the dance scene with Travolta and Thurman which is based on a sequence in Jean-Luc Goddard's 'Bande A Parte'.
This is a very violent film, but as the title indicates its a form of comic strip violence, and there is also an underlying black comedy element as well. It is endlessly watchable and quoteable and that is the sign of a really great film.
Well... let not start sucking each others....quite yet!.......2007-06-08
This is the most entertaining movie I have ever seen. Seen it at least 20 times. Just brilliant.
"There is no me and you. Not no more...".......2007-05-22
In "Pulp Fiction," director Quentin Tarantino consistently defies viewer expectation and delivers one of the best films of the '90s. You'll marvel at Tarantino's adept bending of time structure, brilliant dialogue and memorable images. Some indie fans may prefer the admittedly great "Reservoir Dogs," but I say no go: "Pulp Fiction" is a deeper, more audacious and more accomplished picture.
Plot synopsis is difficult when dealing with Tarantino's time-bending narrative, but here goes: "Pulp Fiction" commences with two hitmen -- Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) -- slinging hilarious dialogue (already considered classic) as they journey to collect some product from a soon-to-be former employee. After taking care of business, Travolta takes out his boss's lovely wife (Uma Thurman) as a favor to his out-of-town employer. A seemingly innocent night out turns into a unforgettable evening of '50s nostalgia, drug overdose and a memorable needle scene that will have the more squeamish population wincing.
The next sequence involves Bruce Willis as a boxer who agrees to throw a bout at the behest of Vincent's boss (Ving Rhames), but then has second thoughts. The situation gets considerably hairier when Willis and Rhames unexpectedly come face-to-face following the bout, and then must eventually join forces due to the most unforeseen of circumstances.
The movie does have its slow spots, most notably a dull sequence when a death-obsessed female cab driver peppers Willis with a series of bizarre questions. The scene isn't particularly funny, and in a 3-hour film it's clearly superfluous. That said, complaining about a single scene seems like sour grapes when discussing a masterpiece like Pulp Fiction. The film is consistently hilarious and pushes the envelope in just about every sense.
An oft-overlooked plot point is Jules' life-changing realization in the film's final act, a transformation that makes the movie about something instead of just a stylish piece of entertainment. Jackson's phenomenal performance is the best of many excellent acting turns, most notably John Travolta's outstanding comeback role, Uma Thurman's career-best peformane and Ving Rhames' star-making turn. Even the perpetually obnoxious Eric Stoltz is hilarious.
Andrzej Sekula's brilliant cinematography demands mention, making great scenes even greater (e.g. Travolta's walk down drug-trip lane). "Pulp Fiction" is a stunning film that deservedly cements Tarantino's position as one of the industry's hottest directors.
A royale with cheese.......2007-05-14
Awesome movie. The story is a complex intertwining adventure which will leave you thinking about it and trying to unravel it in your mind. Granted, the violence and language is a little extreme, but yet it is still done in a stylized manner. A must-have for Tarantino fans, crime drama fans, or for those who just appreciate good films.

Kei Mizutani's Terminatrix is a Terminator.......2007-04-08
A take off of "The Terminator" featuring Kei Mizutani. James Cameron's original version of this flick featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger has nothing to fear from this cheap rip-off. Though the genius of Cameron who at only age 27 made "The Terminator" there are many people in this world who would prefer to watch Kei in "The Teminatrix" as opposed to Schwarzeneggar but who can blame them. Kei is absolutely beautiful although she can't act and lacks personality I prefer her over Arnold. This film is definitely one of her hottest commercial features. Also keep in mind that this film is called "Insatsu no Toriko(Slave To Dirty Killing) in Japan.

Surprising.......2001-12-27
This is a soft core parody of the Terminator series that works well on several levels. The hook is that a pleasure robot was sent into the past to make a rebel's father impotent, there by causing her never to exist.
The portrayal of the rebel sent back to counteract the Terminatrix is done with a sense of humor. She is largely ineffective and finds her main problem being a fashion crisis that must be remedied before she can actually be effective. She winds up on the wrong side of the law as she has to constantly mug stray women for their clothing, and at times her choices cause far more problems than they solve.
The acting is as good as can be expected in a feature with this sort of limited budget. The facial expression are hysterical and not overblown, the English language translation seems right on the mark.
This DVD far exceeded my expectations. There are moments of extreme "South Park" style humor that really can't be mentioned in a public forum, but which shame their US counterparts by showing that this sort of feature can be done well.

pulp fiction.......2007-03-21
i ordered five movies , all classics and they arrived on time and intact . they were a gift to my dear brother and he loves them .
A Wild Ride!.......2006-11-01
After 12 years, I finally got around to seeing this one. I never figured my wife would enjoy it, but my stepson had it on DVD. What a wild ride, with career rescuing or career establishing performances by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis and Harvey Keitel, among others, add to the bloody, profane fun. Highly recommended.
Pulp Fiction.......2006-10-02
Excellent movie!!! I did not see this movie when it came out in the theaters originally back in 1994. About a year ago, I saw it in the 4:3 format...was not really impressed. Recently, I saw the DVD version, WIDESCREEN format. Thouroghly enjoyed it...the movie, the direction, editing, sound track, acting, & so forth. Unique movie, both in content & style. Now I own the movie as well as the "sound track" CD...must for any movie buff.
Superceding all the norms!.......2006-06-01
Sadly, too many people remain close-minded about the many experimental facets available in film-making. Despite my age, I have found this movie to be extraordinarily unique, having opened an entirely new genre in films. Hitchcock would have been proud to have seen Tarentino's trend-setting motif, and the many doors his insight has opened. Shame on those that can't see beyond the "Hollywood-ness", and experience the joy of a new dimension within films. Not all good movies rely on special effects to draw an audience. Tarentino has proven that...superbly. Hostel was every bit as riveting, and I highly recommend that movie...unless you are a prude and unable to accept the graphic subject matter covered. But all open-minded viewers will love Hostel every bit as much as Pulp Fiction.
Worst movie ever.......2006-05-31
This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. It jumps around to the point that it makes no sense, is boring, has horrible characters, even worse acting.. basically every bad thing that a movie could be.. this one is. Don't waste any money on this trash. The only reason I'm rating it as 1 star is because there is no option for 0 stars.

Tiny Gems, Carefully Preserved........2006-09-23
I have seen several documentaries that have tried to explain just what film noir is, and for the most part I was disappointed. Then I found this dvd. With no narration to sway me one way or the other, these tiny little gems are the perfect way to be introduced to the genre. They don't give away all of the plot, but they definitely make me want to see the films. They are also a very sad commentary on today's film industry: these coming attractions are far more entertaining than just about anything you can find in theatres today. Don't miss this one, and then do what I did - try to find all of the films and enjoy them as well. Time very well spent.
Step into a time capsale.......2001-08-06
If you want to see real trailers, from an age where the studios did not spill the beans on every detail of the plot, "Pulp Cinema" will satisfy your longing for the Golden Era of Cinema.
After being entertained for over an hour, I felt like I had been transported in a time machine "to a world" where filmmakers understood the point of a trailer: to entertain on it's own and provoke one into seeing a great film.
If movies were dreams then these trailers were their bedtime stories; entertaining and exciting in thier own right, without giving away what lay ahead in the dark over the next hours.
This was an era when trailers were created as entertainment that captured the sense of the film without giving away the whole story.
These trailers are entertainment in themselves, and I am thankful they have been preserved in this glorious set, on a medium that is helping to save and bring these classic cinema gems of unadulterated entertainment to a new generation.
Trailers from the 1930s,'40s and '50s include: "Citizen Kane," "The Big Sleep," "The Postman Always Rings Twice," "Double Indemnity," "Sunset Boulevard," "The Killing," "Key Largo," amongst others. Future filmakers should take note: This is how trailers should be!

Product Description
The artwork found on pulp fiction magazine covers has rankled American sensibilities since before your grandparents time. Now for the first time on film, Pulp Fiction Art: Cheap Thrills & Painted Nightmares takes an in-depth look at these incredible yet misunderstood works of art; some of which, due to their controversial content, are rarely seen in public today.
Pulp fiction art is more than simply an American art form; it is a state of mind. Politically incorrect, shocking, offensive and deliciously fun, it is unforgettable.
Pulp Fiction Art: Cheap Thrills & Painted Nightmares takes you behind the scenes of this forgotten art form with interviews of the artists who created these sinfully entertaining paintings and the collectors who have kept it alive. Winner of the 2006 Best Documentary award at both the Dragon*Con Film Festival and The International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, documentary filmmaker Jamie McDonald gained exclusive access to the world s largest pulp art collection - owned by pulp art historian Robert Lesser. Whether you are a true fan of the art form or a curious newcomer, Pulp Fiction Art: Cheap Thrills & Painted Nightmares will leave you thinking differently about what constitutes true art
Customer Reviews:
Only in America.......2007-06-27
This is a fabulous documentary about a very appealing - to me, at least - American art genre, pulp illustration, which combined highly accomplished craftsmanship with tremendous imagination in what were often (certainly in the sci fi area) ground-breaking images. The artists were as good as anyone who made their living painting; many of those discussed in this film, Frank Paul, Rafael deSoto, Virgil Finlay, Hannes Bok, Margaret Brundage, rank as the best illustrators of all time. As Frank Frazetta was for Conan, J, Allen St.John for Burroughs, Jno. O'Neill for Frank Baum, so were these artists perfectly suited to the lurid adventure and sex of the pulps.
Weird Tales! Planet Stories! The Spicy mags! Margaret Brundage! An Oak Park, Illinois housewife, she created the most sensuous, rich, savage images dripping with sexuality. Died in near poverty, poor lady, and now her works (if they can be found) would sell for many tens of thousands of dollars. Frank Paul: not the greatest at drawing people, nevertheless his colors and monsters explode off the covers, psychedelia way before its time.
Robert Lesser, king of pulp art (and space toy) collectors, is featured throughout. Excellent film, very comprehensive given its length, recommend highly though I really don't need the competition in acquiring the magazines it may provoke. Still, I'm out of wall space.
