Jules Winnfield
One of the most iconic lines inPulp Fiction had such an impact because of how fresh it felt for the movie. As the title suggests, Pulp Fictiontakes a look at crime stories fans are more than familiar with -- hitmen on a job, a boxer who refuses to take a dive -- but Tarantino finds interesting new ways to explore these stories. Opening the tale of two deadly hitmen on the way to kill some people with a conversation about European fast food cemented Tarantino as an exciting new voice that coun...
Honey Bunny
The thing about the diner scene is how the viewer is made to wonder just what Honey Bunny and Ringo are up to until they spring into action. Honey Bunny initially comes across as more rational. However, this idea is put to bed when the next second it’s Honey Bunny who begins screaming this quote like bloody murder after just having softly professed her love for Ringo. It is a great example ofPulp Fiction's unique look at criminal archetypes, suggesting that they "get into character" but are o...
Jules Winnfield
Samuel Jackson's performance as Jules in Pulp Fictionis perhaps the best in the movie and one of the best in Jackson's career. One instance where the audience can really see the different levels Jackson is playing is in the apartment sequence with Brett and his friends. Jackson is able to hold the tension as he talks to the men about burgers and breakfast while still being likable. It is when he kills Brett's friend without warning that Jules becomes terrifying and his sarcastic question to B...
The Wolf
Easily one of the coolest characters ever, The Wolf dominated each scene he was in and every conversation he was a part of. By the end of his time in the film, one might wonder just what it was about him that made him so interesting. Wolf provided the explanation for this in his interaction with Raquel, where he pointed out to her that being respected required having character. To go further into detail, he made this simple statement, making it an eye-opener of how being a character is so muc...
Vincent Vega
Among one of the many mundane conversations Jules and Vincent have throughout the movie, comes a conversation about the ethics of massaging a married woman's feet with Vincent suggesting such an act is simply someone being reckless and opening themselves up to the consequences. Ironically, Jules did take his advice in a way by retiring, while Vincent should’ve listened to his own words and exited as Jules did. Throughout the film, he was figuratively playing with matches, such as almost getti...
Butch Coolidge
Butch was the closest thing to a protagonist in the Pulp Fiction cast, as he gets the solo spotlight of his own story, showing his strange hero's journey. The indication of this comes much earlier than when most people would notice, though. While talking to the strange death-obsessed cab driver, Butch pretended he didn’t care that he accidentally killed his opponent in the ring. However, he then muttered an apology to the man as well, proving that he did feel a measure of guilt for having gon...
Marsellus
Although Marsellus had been trying to corrupt Butch into accepting his bribe, his long speech at the restaurant wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, the matter of pride was what caused Marsellus’ own problems later in the movie. If he’d accepted the fact that he got swindled by Butch and let it go, then he would never have found himself in that dire situation with Zed. In the end, it really was pride that ended up getting Marsellus hurt. While it comes off as a menacing speech at the time, it can...
Butch Coolidge
Pulp Fiction's cast of charactersis filled with nefarious and criminal individuals with few who seem like upstanding people. However, even within such a collection of people, Zed is an easy one to point to as the most repugnant. With him showing up to Maynard's basement to sexually assault the captive Marsellus and Butch, he is immediately creepy. The fact that he is wearing a cop uniform and seems to have done this many times before makes it worse. So it is very satisfying when the tables ar...
Brett
While Brett is onscreen for only a few minutes, he is responsible for one of the most famous and darkly funny exchanges in the movie. After seeing his friend just executed and knowing he is likely to share the same fate, it is understandable that Brett has a hard time comprehending everything being thrown at him. However, Jules is not an understanding man and gets annoyed when Brett cannot answer his seemingly simple question of what Marsellus Wallace looks like. With a gun in his face, Brett...
Marsellus
Ving Rhames is an underrated performance inPulp Fictionthat shows the tough crime boss like it has rarely been depicted in movies. His introductory scene, preparing Butch to take the dive sets him up as a truly intimidating man that Butch would be foolish to cross. However, when Marsellus finds himself a captive of Zed and Maynard, Rhames plays a believable vulnerability to the situation. That makes it all the more satisfying when Marsellus bounces back and takes control of the situation, pro...

- Let’s Dance The Twist. In one scene, Mia volunteers both her and Vincent Vega for a dance competition. She uses Vega’s boss, her husband, as leverage to scare him into dancing the twist for an epic trophy.

- “Just because you are a character doesn’t mean that you have character.” The Wolf: You see that, young lady? Respect. Respect for one’s elders gives character.
