Pulp Fiction Question

What's in the briefcase?


John

I think it was the same thing Indiana Jones had when the Nazi's were chasing him.

I read somewhere that Quentin Tarantino told his actors (it may have been an interview with Samuel Jackson) that when they opened the briefcase they should imagine they were looking at the greatest thing they could think of.


Personally I think it is similar to the stuff in the trunk in Repo Man.

It's called a "mcguffin", a term used in film study, which basically means it is more a symbolic thing than an actual physical thing.


It could represent anything including riches (money, gold, jewels, etc), someone's soul, or any other number of things.


I like to think of it as a shiny golden dildo that gives any woman who uses it a million orgasms. Now that would be a prize!

i always thought it was the soul of marcellus wallace. there used to be an explanation to this, but i can't recall it now...

the bandaid on the back of his neck maybe had something to do with it???

Quentin Tarantino's ego.

How 'bout diamonds from Reservoir Dogs.


Remember the rescusitation seen? There are two games on the shelf behind them: Operation and Life.
