hey does anybody know what era it was set in?

Not really sure but I would think that it was in somewhat modern times (70's-80's). Nothing in the film really gives you any indication of a specific time period. But based on the clothing of the people in the backgrounds...etc and the make and model of the cars, you can kinda guess.

I think it might have been 90's - set the time it was released. There are references to more recent things, and Mr Wolf's car is pretty modern. There are elements from all over though - the diner, the dancing, Travolta looking uncomfortably close in a sleazy way to saturday night fever....

Tarantino films do have a kind of timeless quality though. I've seen quite a few over the holidays... Kill Bill was on last night... :cool:

If came out in 1994 and I believe it was of the same era. It starred John Travolta & Samuel Jackson. I rented the tape and watched only 3 to five minutes of it. I found the language to be very offensive.

Good thing you didn't watch the rest of it.........The language would have been the least of your worries......
Great movie, one of my fav's.

Best part is when they have to give Marcallice's wife the adrenaline shot. :D

Yeah, that's a good scene but to me it's too hard to pick out one scene I like best. I particularily enjoy Harvey Keitel as Mr. Wolf. Right in the middle of discussing how they are going to dispose of a dead body he stops and says to Tarantino's character "This is really good coffee. Did you make this?" I don't know why but that just kills me every single time. :)

as much as I like the movie, I enjoyed this thing on the radio where little kids did lines from the movie even better. I swear one of the funniest things I've ever heard was a 6 year old saying "English, mother-f*****r! Do you speak it?!?!"

Funny how humor differs in people. A child using those words would sadden me. But if Samuel Jackson does, it's classic.
The best part of the movie?? It's a toss up.....Yes, the Mia (Uma Thurman) O.D. is very close, but then again, when Butch (Bruce Willis) breaks free from the Gun Shop and returns with that Samurai Sword to rescue Marsellus getting Butt-Raped is hard to beat. Butch killing that Gimp dressed in some Leather Fetish freak costume and afterward, Marsellus saying "You hear me talkin' Hillbilly Boy"??????? "I'ma get medieval on your ass.........

Glad I didn't finish watching it. You guys are really sick if you think that is funny! I guess that is one of the good things of freedom of choice. You don't have to watch it, if you don't want to!

Man, do you enjoy anything?

[hunter60]

Humor is very, very subjective. Personally, I've always felt that you find something to laugh about in just about anything. But there are those who do not share my finely honed sense of the absurd. :p

To some (me included) Monty Python and The Three Stooges (and Bugs Bunny cartoons) were the height of humor and comedy. To others, just savage and mean-spirited.

I like my idea better!! :rolleyes:

A rather presumptuous statement, calling people 'sick' will certainly garner you no favour!

I guess that is one of the good things of freedom of choice. You don't have to watch it, if you don't want to!

It also means that you don't have to reply to threads that you don't agree with http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb70/strat-man/idea.gif

That movie was a very twisted action/comedy kinda thing that i enjoyed and it was very original for the time that it came out id say it was probably set in the 90's but theres no real way to tell
