Hello!

How is your Christmas? I hope you enjoy it and you spend time on reading books instead of studying, just like me. All of my family members are huge bibliophiles, so there are always lots of books among our Christmas gifts. This year I got a great compendium about one of my favourite Tarantino's movies: "Pulp Fiction. Wszystko o kultowym filmie Quentina Tarantino" by Jason Bailey. I've already read a half, so I can tell that it's a very detailed and quite well-written study. It includes not only research on Pulp fiction, but also many information about Tarantino's life, other movies of him and references to other directors and their work.

Those of you who are interested in movies surely know than even the best productions are full of little mistakes, and even Pulp fiction isn't free of them. I post here a translation of some examples given in Bailey's book:

1. Execution in the Brett's apartment. When Jules and Vincent are shooting to Brett, both of them empty their clips. Then Tarantino go back to this scene in the beginning of another sequence (The Bonnie situation). Jules and Vincent empty their clips, but when "the fourth guy" comes out from a bathroom, they shoot again.

2. In the same particular scene Jules and Martin are talking to Marvin (before the guy from the bathroom appears). The wall is full of holes from shooting which, actually, haven't been shot yet.

3. There's a mistake in a famous adrenaline injection scene. Mia wakes up rapidly with a syringe in her heart. But wait... Where's the red point that Vincent put in her chest before?

4. A scene at the end of the prologue, just before the "Misirlou" and the credits. Honey-Bunny says: "Any of you, fucking pricks, move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!". When Tarantino returns to this scene in The Bonnie situation, she says: "Any of you, fucking pricks, move, and I'll execute every one of you motherfuckers". According to Tarantino, it wasn't a mistake but a deliberated effect, which he used to show that everyone remembers the same situation in a different way.
