Corrected entry: When Butch stabs that fat guy in the pawn shop, Zed stands up real fast and starts to go for his gun. When Marcellus shoots him, we see him grabbing his crotch, and can see that his pants are not even unzipped. How could he have time to zip his pants up?
Corrected entry: The sign advertising Butch's fight reads, "Coolidge vs. Wilson" and, beneath, "Clash of the Titans". Coolidge and Wilson were formerly opposing candidates in the U.S. presidential race and the slogan was applied to their contest.
Correction: Wilson and Coolidge never ran against each other and no presidential election was ever known as the "Clash of the Titans".
Corrected entry: When Bruce Willis shoots John Travolta John falls back and lands in the bathroom and the door closes. When Bruce goes to open the door we see him put his hand on the blood spot and start pushing the door open, but when we see the door opening from the inside his hand is much lower on the door and below the blood spot.
jaws65Correction: The shot that shows him when the door opens, his hand is at the same height as the shot before. In the second shot however his hand moves quickly away from the door, giving the impression that it was lower than in the shot before.

Corrected entry: Scene when Esmerelda is driving Butch in the Cab: Butch asks for one of her cigarettes, and she complies giving him a smoke and a light with a match. When she lights his cig with the match the flame on the match is still burning. But, when the camera shot changes, to a close-up of Esmerelda lighting the cigarette, Esmerelda's match has gone out, without her shaking the match out, or anyone blowing the match out. How did the match go out? (01:12:20)
Correction: Butch exhales the smoke from his first drag and blows the match out. This is clearer in the uncut version of the scene included in the DVD extras.
Corrected entry: Whilst travelling in a car with Samuel, John accidentally shoots the man in the back seat. He and Samuel carry on talking. You just can't fire a high calibre gun in an enclosed space and not have a hearing problem.
Correction: Who says they don't have a hearing problem? Their ears may be ringing, but they wouldn't be stone deaf. Anyway, they don't "carry on talking" - they carry on yelling.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce Willis shoots John Travolta, we can see the impact of bullets that hit Travolta on his body between his waist and neck. However, in the next shot when Travolta is in the bathtub, he is only bleeding from around his belly button and the impacts around his chest are gone.
Correction: Travolta gets one or two bullets next to his chest. In the bathtub you can see a few blood stains above his belly next to the left of his tie. The jacket he is wearing makes it harder to see if any of the bullets that shot him on the sides of his chest.
Lummie Corrected entry: When Butch is inside the car on the way to/from his flat, first he turns his head to the left showing his sunglasses, next shot, the glasses are gone.
Correction: At no time in this scene does he have sunglasses on.
Lummie Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: Marvin leaves and gets in the car with them, it's very possible that he was carrying the briefcase.
Corrected entry: 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?
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: Not true. For an explanation, go to http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/pulp.htm
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: He doesn't say he NEVER watches tv. He probably watches it once in awhile.
Corrected entry: 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? (00:32:25)
Corrected entry: 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 instruction 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).
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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!"
Correction: 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.
Corrected entry: 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?
Correction: Zed's pants are unzipped when he's laying on the ground. It's just difficult to notice since he's covering them with his hands.
