Zed’s Dead But ‘Pulp Fiction’ Is Still Very Much Alive In Pop Culture 20 Years Later

@Cocksteady – correct.and, in fact, With A Vengeance is 2nd only to the original. great flick.

There’s even a DJ duo that named themselves ‘Zed’s Dead.’

Actually he says the line in the van to his police chief when he asks him what he’s been up to

Die Hard with a Vengence, and he says the line to Sam Jackson for a double rainbow.

i remember seeing space jam as a child and losing my shit laughing at that scene….i dont even think i knew what a pulp fiction was. when i finally saw it, a single tear came down my face. also, that boondocks scene is classic…shame what happened to that show

I was wondering if the diner in SoA (from the recent Juice meet-up) was the PF one. Guess not!

That would be a cool place to have a storage unit. The would have a hard time licensing the name though.

You forgot the “Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie!”

you beat her with a sack of soap bars until she can recite Ezekial 25:17 to you

The concept of the Simpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” was taken from Pulp Fiction, and there are at least a couple of direct references. Snake and Chief Wiggum fight into Herman’s shop like the pawn shop/Zed sequence, the cops debate the Quarter Pounder vs. the Krusty Burger, etc.

I could be wrong but I think I have another cast member reference in another movie. In one of the lesser Die Hards (or maybe another Bruce Willis movie that came out shortly after PF) somebody yells at Bruce Willis to do something and he says something like, “What do you think I’m doing, smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo???” (which is a line from the song he sings along with when he’s driving the little car before he hits Marcellus). I just remember this from when I saw whatever Bruce Willis movie it was in theater but I’m fairly sure. Thanks.

The dance moves one doesn’t do it for me, if only because they were probably just imitating 50s dance moves rather than Pulp Fiction specifically. Still, I’m just glad no one’s tried to imitate whats-her-name’s “pot belly” speech

Page two reminded me of two things: How much I hate CSI, and how much I miss Archer.

What I’m trying to say in this cartoon is that violence is everywhere in our society, you know. It’s, like, even in our breakfast cereals, man.

My kid is finally old enough to watch classics like this. So we sat down and watched it about three months ago. When it was done, she just shrugged her shoulders and said meh. Needless to say, she’s still grounded for that.
