How 15 Pulp Fiction actors have changed 30 years after the film's release (16 photos)

30 years ago, in 1994, the world saw one of Quentin Tarantino’s most successful films, “Pulp Fiction.” The cult film is in the top ten of the 250 best films according to IMDb and is not going to lose its position even after years.





The bright and original film received more than 40 various awards, but most importantly, it won the hearts of millions. The success of the film is clear and understandable: the incredible intensity and dynamics of the plot, those very Tarantino dialogues and, of course, the star cast of the film made it an absolute hit. In honor of the film’s thirtieth anniversary, we show how the stars who played the mad genius Tarantino in the crime drama have changed.

Mia Wallace - Uma Thurman (1994 and 2024)



Jules Winnfield - Samuel L. Jackson (1994 and 2024)





The film's script was handwritten by Tarantino. The film director admits that he is not very friendly with computer technology and therefore prefers to present his ideas on the pages of a regular notebook 80-100 sheets thick.

Vincent Vega - John Travolta (1994 and 2024)



Jodie - Rosanna Arquette (1994 and 2024)



Winston Wolf - Harvey Keitel (1994 and 2023)



Jimmy - Quentin Tarantino (1994 and 2023)



The secret of Tarantino's dialogues, according to the director himself, is very simple. He tests them on himself, acting out written lines in roles. If the written dialogue can make the director laugh, then it deserves to be in the film.

Captain Koontz - Christopher Walken (1994 and 2024)



Marcellus Wallace - Ving Rhames (1994 and 2023)



Sweet Bunny - Amanda Plummer (1994 and 2023)



Butch Coolidge - Bruce Willis (1994 and 2024)



Tarantino selects all the actors for roles in his films himself. The director claims that it does not matter to him whether a particular artist is famous if he, in his opinion, fits perfectly into the role. So, Tarantino chose Bruce Willis for the role of Butch not because of his popularity, but because the actor has “the look of a movie star from the fifties.”

Zed - Peter Green (1994 and 2024)



Fabian - Maria de Medeiros (1994 and 2023)



Lance - Eric Stoltz (1994 and 2024)



The costs of the film were simply negligible - only 8.5 million dollars, of which 5 million went to pay the actors. Despite this, the film paid for itself within the first week of release. Overall, the film earned a whopping $214 million.
