Strange thing about Pulp Fiction...

[smashingjj]

I just saw it for the second time. Maybe I've missed something, and it's intentional, but in the scene in the beginning, the female robber says something different from what she says in the end, which is actually the same scene. In the beginning she says something like: "If anyone of you moves, I'll have to kill every motherfucking last one of you", while at the end it's something like "I'll have to kill anyone of you motherfuckers". I kept wondering about it because the rest of the movie seems to have no little mistakes. explain this to me, motherfuckers. i'm now going to powder my nose.

I might check to see if you're right.

Maybe.

Goofs for
Pulp Fiction (1994)

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Several differences in the two times we see Honey Bunny pull the gun in the restaurant can be attributed to seeing the scene through Jules' eyes the second time.




• Continuity: The sugar bowl on the table in the diner.




• Crew or equipment visible: When Jules and Vincent are riding in the car, it is possible to see the reflection of their car in the backround, being towed on a trailer.




• Continuity: Several errors showing differences in the two times we see Jules and Vincent retrieving the suitcase from the apartment, including: bullet holes in the walls, Jules' speech, Jules' gun.




• Continuity: The amount of Brett's burger that has been eaten as Jules picks it up.




• Continuity: Vincent unzips a case to reveal an old-fashioned glass syringe, yet the extreme close-ups of the syringe show it is made of plastic.




• Continuity: The level of the milkshake in the diner.




• Continuity: Mia's cigarette in the diner.




• Continuity: When Butch and Fabienne are arguing about the forgotten watch, the coat hangers in the background cast different shadows in different shots.




• Continuity: After Butch has killed Maynard with the sword we cut to Zed and see the sword pointing towards Zed. We then cut back to Butch who hasn't pointed the sword towards Zed yet.




• Continuity: Marcellus fires the shotgun and then ejects the shell. The sound of the shell hitting the floor indicates an unfired cartridge.




• Continuity: The bloodstains on Butch's shirt.




• Continuity: When Jules shoots Brett, his gun becomes empty and the action retracts. When viewed again, the action does not retract.
  



• Continuity: Amount of Marvin's blood on Vincent's shirt.




• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Winston Wolf rings the doorbell at Jimmy's house.




• Continuity: The hand that Jimmy holds the soap in.




• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Winston Wolf departs in his Acura, he takes a hard corner, but the sound indicates continuous acceleration in a straight line. While the acceleration is possible, it would sound different going around a corner.




• Continuity: Jules' moustache is considerably shorter when in the diner than when he was in Brett's apartment.




• Continuity: Pumpkin's first line after pulling out the gun.




• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Winston Wolf drives an Acura NSX, which is a two-seat sports car. After stating that he is taking Raquel to breakfast, he offers to give Jules and Vincent a ride home. But this was never a serious offer.




• Continuity: The trophy Mia brings home is different from the one shown before the contest begins.




• Continuity: The color of the cheese on the Big Kahuna Burger changes with the close-up.




• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the parking lot of Jack Rabbit Slim's, Mia says, "Don't be a ...." Instead of forming the expected square with her hands, she draws a rectangle (its edges are animated). But Mia tries not to do what's expected.




• Continuity: When arriving home from Jack Rabbit Slim's, Mia is wearing Vincent's coat. She places her rolled cigarette in her mouth and is not wearing the coat, but when she lights up, she once again is wearing it.




• Continuity: Winston Wolf opens the car door to inspect the cleaning job. However, when the camera looks inside (through the window), the door appears closed.




• Continuity: Neither Jules or Vincent take the suitcase from Brett's apartment when they leave, yet they have it later.




• Continuity: The straw in Mia's $5 milkshake changes from paper to plastic.




• Continuity: In Jack Rabbit Slim's, Mia's lipstick alternates between very dark red and very pale pink.




• Continuity: When the fourth man in Brett's apartment fires at Jules and Vincent, the wheel on his revolver does not spin.




• Continuity: When Vincent and Mia are in Jack Rabbit's, the video wall behind them showing a street scene jumps (e.g., cars and people disappear) each time the shot switches from Vincent to Mia.




• Continuity: Before the guy in the bathroom fires on Jules and Vincent, the bullet holes are already visible in the back wall behind them.




• Crew or equipment visible: When Vincent enters Mia's home for the first time, a camera and a camera operator are clearly visible in a reflection on the windows in front of them. They have a black blanket or tarp covering them to make them harder to see.




• Continuity: When Fabienne starts talking about breakfast, she sits on the bed with her hand on her foot. When we see her from behind, her hand is at her head.




• Continuity: When butch gets back in the car after going home to get his watch, the radio is playing. It was not playing when he left the car.




• Crew or equipment visible: When Bonnie comes through the living room into the kitchen in The Bonnie Situation you can see the shadow of the cameraman following behind her.




• Continuity: When Vincent first arrives to pick up Mia, he goes to fix himself a drink and the door behind him is open. After a quick cutaway, the door is closed (given the time between the shots and Vincent's position, it would not have been possible for him to shut the door).




• Crew or equipment visible: When Jules and Vincent are driving in the car having the "Royale with cheese" conversation, the truck which the car is riding on is visible, reflected in the store windows that they drive by.




• Continuity: When Pumpkin is pointing a gun at Vincent she's holding it with both hands in one shot and with one hand in another shot.




• Continuity: Captain Koons holds up the watch and it clearly reads 4:35. In the subsequent close-up it reads 12:00.




• Crew or equipment visible: As Vega walks through the corridors to find Marcellus talking to Butch's trainer (after the deadly boxing fight), some equipment, and a crewmember wearing a baseball hat, is visible through a door on the right.




• Continuity: When Butch picks up Fabienne on the motorcycle, the headlight is on/off between shots.




• Continuity: The Three Stooges film (Brideless Groom (1947)) that Lance is watching when Vincent calls with news of Mia's overdose, is being shown out of sequence.




• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Honey Bunny's threat to the diner during the opening version of the robbery is different to the one she uses when the incident is repeated from Vincent and Jules' perspectives. Initially she says she'll "execute every last motherfucking one of you", but later transposes it to "execute every one of you motherfuckers". This is another example of a different perception of events by different observers.




• Continuity: When Butch approaches Zed's motorcycle, he is holding the keys in his left hand. In the close-up, however, we see them in his right hand.




• Continuity: Winston Wolfe mentions twice that Marvin's body is sans head (once on his notepad, once in the kitchen). However, when there is the quick shot of the body in the trunk of the car, not only is the head still attached to the body, but the face looks remarkably undamaged.




• Boom mike visible: Reflected in the motel window when Butch picks up his girlfriend on the chopper at the motel.




• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In Jack Rabbit Slim's, the page says, "Call for Phillip Morris." His mouth movement does not sync with his words.

Super annoying movie nerds that have no life.

"OH NO THE CEREAL BOWL IN FRONT OF HONEY BONEY IS IN DIFFERENT PLACES BETTER WRITE IT DOWN!"

Anyway, you are right, Amanda Plummer says something different to kick off the opening credits than she does at the end of the movie. I don't think this is due to carelessness. I think the five stories in the movie are just that, stories and stories have details changed in the telling and retelling of them.

Or perhaps he just left it in because he knew only complete nerdos would notice.
