On October 14, it will be 30 years since the release of Pulp Fiction, a cult film by Quentin Tarantino that many consider to be the most important work of his career. It is a production full of memorable moments from the first minute to the last of its footage, but today we want to focus on its ending, one that could have been a bit more violent according to Samuel L. Jackson.
In an interview where he reflects on several of his most memorable characters, the legendary American actor said that there was a part of that final act that did not make it into the final cut, although the outcome of the film would not have changed.
“In Pulp Fiction, in the original script, when I’m in the restaurant and Tim [Roth] approaches me for the first time and asks about the briefcase, he opens it, and when he does, I shoot Honey Bunny from the bar and then shoot him in the butt. There’s a cut there and I open my eyes, that’s what I would have done before having the vision at the house of ‘don’t kill anyone’. He’s still standing there. So that’s not there.”
This is not the first time in recent months that Jackson has talked about the original ending of the film. As we remember, in that sequence, beyond a couple of minutes of pure tension when the pair of robbers enter the restaurant and want to take the briefcase, what we find is an extensive and deep monologue by the character of Samuel L. Jackson, Jules, in which he opens up to his robber, Pumpkin (Tim Roth), who is accompanied by Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer), and tells him about the spiritual transition moment he is going through after being saved. Any other day, it’s almost certain that Jules would have eliminated them without a second thought. But it can be said that Pumpkin and Honey Bunny were lucky.

Jackson also explained that in the scene where Vincent (Travolta) accidentally shoots Marvin (Phil LaMarr), the bullet wouldn’t have hit him in the head killing him instantly, but in the neck, so he would be there choking on his own blood slowly waiting to receive a final shot from Vincent.
Of course, considering the stir caused at the time by Pulp Fiction for cutting it very close when depicting violent moments, it is clear that Tarantino maybe did well to hold back in these two scenes revealed by the Django Unchained actor. Pulp Fiction is on Netflix.
