Talk:Pulp Fiction

I would recommend not opining about price or availability of guns unless you know for sure

I get thinking when I hear remarks like "that's a rare gun" or "That's an expensive Gun" or "that's a much cheaper gun". I think to myself, "That's a rare gun NOW, but they were a commonplace back in the 1970s and 1980s". That's an age issue. Youngsters tend to only know what's true for the marketplace right NOW, not years ago. Also I would recommend NOT making commentary about availability and pricing because people with only gun knowledge of the present day cannot make credible commentary about gun availability and pricing when the movie was made. The thing about older members is that they tend to remember what was available and what they paid for guns back in the 1980s or 1990s. I still have editions of SHOTGUN news from 1983-1989. Judging from the distributor ads, I remember what was really cheap and plentiful at certain points in time. I've had to argue with people in the past regarding weapons availability when their only knowledge is guesswork based on what's true today. MoviePropMaster2008 20:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Gun Used in the Posters

What's the gun that uses Uma Thurman in the Pulp Fiction posters? Is a Star B? Or a M1911 ?

About the Gun, i ask about the original poster:

Thanxs

Uh, No, that's a photo. Looks to me to be the 1911, which actually has that connection to Travolta's character.-protoAuthor 20:39, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Vincent's firearm safety

Is it so bad because of his heroin habit ? Also his behavior such as hanging around a place without checking the other rooms first etc ?

I think it has to do with his lack of proper firearms training. And he also just got out of the bathroom, not just showed up.

When he's reading that book, Vincent is totally oblivious to anything going on, as evidenced when he's in the bathroom at the diner and doesn't hear the robbery go down until later. So it makes sense that he didn't realize that Butch had come into the house. --Ben41 08:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I think he's talking about the apartment near the start when he never checked the rooms and ended up almost being shot by the guy with the revolver.

well he is clearly untrained because if he was , marvin would still have a face . not to mention , when he is in the bathroom , in both butches house and the diner , he is unaware of events going on out side . i believe its the fact that he is trained , but not higly . simmons 8492

Don't go to the bathroom

It seems to be one of the morals of the film is 'Don't go to the bathroom'. As someone pointed out to me, whenever someone does something bad happens to them....Foofbun 20:19, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
