Jackson), two hired murderers who have the mission of getting back a mysterious briefcase. Vincent confesses Jules that their boss, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) asked him to take care of his wife Mia (Una Thurman) while he is away, but he will have to be careful because it is rumored that he killed a man for touching his wife's feet. On the other side, Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), a boxer, is paid by Marsellus to lose on purpose in his next fight, but he ends up killing his opponent, so he has to run away from town. And last, the situation of the dinner, where a woman and his husband are trying to rob it. The film is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and it is considered one of the most important films of the modern age of cinema.

Trivia

The word "fuck"

The word "fuck" is said 265 times.

Same salary for everyone

Most of the stars who appeared, such as Bruce Willis or Uma Thurman, recorded their scenes in the slots they were free from filming other films. To adjust the budget, every actor or actress got paid exactly the same. $20.000 per week.

Doubting who to choose

Quentin Tarantino hesitated over the choice between the character he was going to play, Jimmie or Lance. He ended up choosing Jimmie's role because he wanted to be behind the camera in Mia's overdose scene.
