Why does butch kill Vincent in pulp fiction?

Bruce Willis' character, Butch, had just recently reneged on a business deal with Marcellus Wallace. Butch was supposed to fake a knock out in a boxing match fixed by Wallace. Instead, Butch planned to win the fight and get rich at the same time. He won the fight and escaped the arena before Wallace's men, Jules and Vincent, could get to him. Butch hid out overnight but, by unfortunate circumstances, he had to return to his apartment the next morning. Vincent was at the apartment waiting for him while reading a book in the bathroom and he did not hear Butch come in. Butch found Vincent's gun in the kitchen and he heard the toilet flush, so he knew that he was not alone in the apartment. When Vincent came out of the bathroom...whammo.

People think that the plaster on Marsellus' neck relates to the removal of his soul, which is wrong.

Who was the actor who played Mr Black in Pulp Fiction?

There was no character called Mr. Black in the movie 'Pulp Fiction.' If this is in reference to Quentin Tarantino's earlier film 'Reservoir Dogs' in which all of the main characters are named after colors, we are still in the dark as there was no Mr. Black in that film, either. According to Mr. White in 'Reservoir Dogs', played by Harvey Keitel, nobody was going to be named Mr. Black because there was too much competition for the name.

Several actors played in both 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction':


Harvey Keitel played Mr. White in RD and Winston 'The Wolf' Wolfe in PF
Tim Roth played Mr. Orange in RD and Ringo in PF
Steve Buscemi played Mr. Pink in RD and Buddy Holly in PF

What psychological disorders are present in the movie pulp fiction?

Its impossible to answer this question without including case data, as mental health is more about recognition of trends which are supported by data of an Intellectual Property. Also, I would like to add, that we are merely seeing flatened presentations of real people. That said, that are real clues as to the types of personalities present.

Mia Marcellus presents as a far developed Borderline Personality Disorder (Self hurting behavior, insatiable appetite and necessity for acceptance in dysfunction of men, even as she is sabotaging relationships), being the evil twin of Bipolar Disorder, there is the tonic/clonic highs/lows that come with that dissociative disorder as well as (and by definition) a disconnect of reality. The remorse of the life lived is present, ultimately leading to her overdose.

Samuel Jackson's Character (Jules) and John Travolta's (Vincent) are very straightforward and classic Antisocial Personality Disorders, known as psychopathic and dissociative on their own their women that they involve themselves with present with a differing phenom.

Bruce Willis' character? Clearly with the watch is an "Attentional Fixation in Panic Disorder

Why was pulp fiction almost given an NC-17 rating?

In the scene where Jules and Vincent are transporting Marvin from the house and Vincent turns around and accidentally shoots Marvin in the face, the original cut included a shot of a fake head exploding on camera - then it cutting to a follow shot of blood splattering all over the inside of the car. Originally, this scene was dubbed too violent due to the head exploding and thus considering this film was already pushing boudries for an R-Film, the MPAA bumped the rating to an NC-17. Quickly realizing this, Tarantino agreed to cut out the head exploding scene, but the scene itself is still very graphic.

It's Ezekiel 25:17, but there were many other verses that were used to make the quotation.

Who were the only people who knew the combination to the suitcase in Pulp Fiction?

We know for certain that both Vincent and Jules knows the combination to the briefcase. At the apartment, Vincent opens the case to check the contents. Jules later opens the case at the coffee shop on Honey Bunny's command.

We could assume that at least one person at Brett's apartment knows the combination because he tells Vincent that "it's all there" (referring to the contents of the case.)


We can also assume that Marsellus Wallace knows the combination since Vincent and Jules are to deliver the case to him.
