what in the hell was in the *&(_^$%^&* case!
|

I saw a thread about this where an arfcommer knew the producer or something and the answer was revealed. Its in the archives, probably a 2005/early 06 post. Sorry Im not more help.

I think it was money, but it isn't mentioned in the movie.
Probably a 'maguffin' as earlier pointed out. |
|
No that one was easy, it was Marcellis' (sp?) soul. Notice it glowed gold? Also Marcellis had a band aid in the back of his neck, that was where is soul was removed from. |

Had to be something serious like a nuke formula or something to do with national security to England.
|
|
But what the hell was Brett doing with it? |

|
Trying to fuck Mr. Wallis? |

I saw something on this a few months ago. The consensus was that it was a location list for missing Russian nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe. Explains why the IRA wanted it and why the Russians wanted it even more.

But Marcellus Wallace didn't look like a bitch. Seriously, I'm not buying the soul thing. |

kick ass movie, seen it more times than
I can count. I'm pretty sure they don't answer that question. |
|
Movie annoys me for the most retarded ambush ever.
Overly complicated and stupid. You got them driving along a road with a mountain on one side and an ocean on another. Road block RPGs Barrett. Easy day. |

Don't drop that shit! Pray to God you don't drop that shit! |

Uh, no. www.snopes.com/movies/films/pulp.htm Pulp Fiction co-author Roger Avery: Originally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen. This way each audience member would fill in the blank with their own ultimate contents. All you were supposed to know was that it was "so beautiful." No prop master can come up with something better than each individual's imagination. At least that was the original idea. Then somebody had the bright idea (which I think was a mistake) of putting an orange lightbulb in there. Suddenly what could have been anything became anything supernatural. Didn't need to push the effect. People would have debated it for years anyway, and it would have been much more subtle. I can't believe I'm actually talking about being subtle. |

BTW, there are absolutely no religions, beliefs, etc. that your soul leaves the back of your neck. That's total 90's internet made up crap. |

|
AH, but you see, that is the mystery. |

The recipe for KFCs chicken along with herbs and spices. |

My favorite part of the whole movie: "Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt."
|
|
That's the second thing they teach you.
Unless you're talking counterfeit money, why would people try to "buy" money? |

I watched it the whole way through for the first time this weekend, and I didn't really see what the big deal was.
Sure, it was a "good" movie, but it was no "Waterworld". |
|
I thought it was the painting scheme for the boathouse.
"You go with what you know." |
|
It was the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. There, I solved the mystery; you can change the channel now.
|
|
That's why everyone wanted the case; SO THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT COLOR THE BOATHOUSE AT HEREFORD IS!!!11!1ELEVEN11! |

Thought I'd bump this since I had another Ronin question the other day:
Why did Seamus kill the driver? |
|
According to an interview with some of the cast on one of those entertainment shows, the fictional contents were never revealed but in reality they put toblerone chocolates inside.
|
|
Wanted his car, plus he didn't want him to see that he was working with the girl. A list of the locations of missing Russian nukes was what was in the case - that's why the Russians wanted it back so bad. Merlin |

I guess it just seemed unneccesary to me (trivial, even), especially when you consider that "driver" (can't remember his name offhand) was pretty much a goober, other than being a good driver. I don't think he'd have put it together. Guess Seamus wasn't taking any chances or making any assumptions (e.g. that driver wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree), which is probably what kept him alive in that game for so long.
Agreed. IIRC (and I may not), that was alluded to several times, and once a little more overtly. |
