In the scene where Vincent, Jules and Jimmy are having coffee, there's a time interval about two minutes long between the first and the last times we see the wall clock behind Jimmy. Given the type of the clock, you would expect its minute hand to move during the scene, but apparently the clock was stopped during the shooting. If the non-working clock were supposed to be part of the plot, it would be quite a coincidence that it shows the correct time for the scene. [This isn't a film mistake. It's deliberate, a quirky trade mark of the film. All of the clocks in the film are stopped.]
The kid that listens to Christopher Walken talk about the gold watch opens his eyes to a close up of his beautiful blue eyes. Then they show a close up of Bruce Willis' brown eyes when he wakes up from the dreaming. [Eye colour can change from childhood to adulthood, more often than not they do go darker, as my own did.]
At the start of the film, when Jules and Vincent are in the apartment, Jules takes a bite out of a burger. For some reason, the burger gets a close up, and you can see it is untouched. When we see Jules take a bite, the burger is already half eaten. [Jules takes a bite from the side that the student HADN'T taken a bite out of. The close up is of the untouched side that Jules is now eating. When the camera reverts back to the normal view, it is the side of the burger that the student had been eating previously that is now visible.]
Jules and Vincent go to get the briefcase and kill three men in the process. When they leave the apartment, however, neither one of them is carrying the briefcase. [Marvin leaves and gets in the car with them, it's very possible that he was carrying the briefcase.]
If Butch is so concerned about not leaving his fingerprints on the Uzi after he killed Vincent, why did he only wipe one side of the gun? [Butch's "mistake" was actually intentional; The director felt this was a good way to show Butch's stupidity even further, and cause the audience to believe he would soon be in more trouble, which he will be.]
After Vincent shoots Marvin "in the face" at point blank range in Jules' car, they go to Jimmy's house for clean-up where the Wolf says "you have a body, minus a head, in a car." Yet when they throw garbage bags into Jules' trunk you see the corpse with an intact head and face. [Ultimately, the only one that's wrong here is Mr. Wolf, and he was most likely just misinformed. When he says "minus a head" he hasn't yet seen the body, he's just going on what he's been told.]
When Jules is talking to "Ringo", he says that "Mr. 9mm here" could be the shepherd in relation to his Ezekiel quote, but the gun he's holding is a .45; even Quentin Tarantino points this out. [No..Vincent has an Auto Ordnance .45...Jules is toting a Star Modelo B..which are only available in 9mm...it is a gun based on the Colt 1911 .45 ACP..but it is a 9mm Spanish Army issue.]
According to the book, the briefcase in Pulp Fiction was the soul of the character with a Band-Aid on his neck, which explains why there's so much emphasis on the Band-Aid; that's where his soul was taken out. It also explains why John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson did not get shot, and why the briefcase glows when someone opens it and how everyone is amazed when they see what's inside. [Not true. For an explanation, go to http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/pulp.htm]
Just before Vincent shoots Marvin in the face, he talks about how is was watching the tv show Cops. But earlier in the film, when Jules was explaining how tv shows are made, Vincent stated that he doesn't watch tv. [He doesn't say he NEVER watches tv. He probably watches it once in awhile.]
When Vincent goes to pick up Mia for their date, he enters the home. Mia, who's watching him on closed-circuit TV, tells him over the P.A. system that she's on the intercom. Vincent asks where is the intercom. Mia tells him it's on the wall. Now, there's no indication of how Mia can hear Vincent's question. So unless Mia can read lips, how could she know what he was saying and respond accordingly? [Mia might not have been able to hear Vincent, but the fact that he was looking around, confused, would quite easily convey the meaning behind his words anyway.]
At the beginning, Tim Roth's character yells to the waitress "Garcon, coffee," but then when it returns to that same scene at the end, he says, "Garcon (pauses and looks around) coffee." [Actually, the reason the lines aren't exactly the same is because it's from a different perspective, so to speak. Tarantino says it himself in an interview on the DVD Special Features. The same thing gose along with the girl when she screams her line to the people in the restaurant.]
Only some words which are said by Jules before he kills people are similar to Ezechiel 25.17. Quentin T. wrote the additional words. [This was intentional. Jules says he's memorized Ezekiel 25:17, but he's actually just giving his interpretation of it. This makes it a better scare tactic.]
The adrenaline injection scene is loaded with factual errors. First, a nurse's textbook would never contain information about intracardiac epinephrine injections (no nurse would ever perform such a procedure). Second, the instuction to pierce the breast plate in order to hit the heart is erroneous as no needle is strong enough to pierce solid bone. Finally intracardiac injections are only done when the chest has been opened, never through the chest wall (due to the risk of lacerating a coronary artery and causing a fatal heart attack). [All of these mistakes can be explained because Eric Stoltz could not find the little black medical book, so he had no idea what he was doing. He was winging it, and got lucky. As for the needle going through the breast plate, it is possible the needle went between 2 ribs, missing bone.]
During the Bonnie Situation when Jimmy of Teluca Lake is talking about when his wife will be home, an hour and a half or 9:00, if you add an hour and a half to the time on the clock behind him it does not equal 9:00. [Tarentino never says that she will be home at 9AM. At 8:15AM he says that she will be home in approximately an hour and a half. When Keitel arrives, he says that she will be home at 9:30, which now gives them 40 min. to correct the situation.]
Vincent crashes his car into Lance's house. The front appears to be wrecked, yet after the ordeal, Vincent drives Mia home, and the car is fine. [After such accident a car could still function without restrictions, it's only car body damage if you look closely at the car, hood is open, nothing more. When they drive home, you see only the windshield, not the whole hood of the car.]
At the beginning, Amanda Plummer's character screams that she's gonna kill "every last mother fu*kin' one of you." In the last scene it's changed to "every last one of you motherfu*kers!" [In the DVD version of the film, Quentin Tarentino explains on his audio commentary asks us not to count this as a mistake - the dialogue is deliberately different in both scenes to show the different perspectives of the scene by the Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth pair compared to those of Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta.]
At Monster Joe's, the Wolf offers Vincent and Jules a ride in his Acura NSX. One problem, the NSX is a two seater. Where were they going to sit? [The Wolf was not making a serious offer. He was already planning to take Raquel to breakfast and his one seat would have been filled by her. ]
In the scene where Mia and Vincent return from the Jack Rabbit Slim's, she is wearing a black jacket. Yet, when they left the house earlier and scenes in the restaraunt, she doesn't have the jacket on or in her hand. Where did it come from? [Mia is wearing the black jacket in the car and at Jack Rabbit Slim's. When she and Vincent pull up to Jack Rabbit Slim's and talk in the car for a moment she has it on. When she comes back from the bathroom to the car/table in Jack Rabbit Slim's she tosses the jacket onto the seat before climbing back in herself.]
In the scene where Vincent is on the toilet in the diner, he is reading a book. However, at no point beforehand did he have a book with him, and as he's only wearing shorts and a shirt, he couldn't have kept it anywhere on his person. [When Vincent gets up out of the booth to go to the restroom, he carries the book back with him.]
