Who's the toughest character in the movie Pulp Fiction and why?
|
|
Marsellus Wallace because he took it in the bum?
ETA: "I'm pretty fuckin' far from OK." |
|
Marcellus Wallace. Hit with a car, beat up, and took a ride on the Hershey Highway.
|
|
Everybody respected Winston Wolf.
Only a true badass can earn that kind of respect. |
|
I'd say Butch. He's really the only one besides WW that made it out OK. Jules did too, but he went all soft at the end.
Winston Wolfe never really proved anything, but...the incredible amount of respect he got came from somewhere. Unless it was only his great ability to get messes cleaned up. If that's the case, then he is not even close to second place. |
|
+1 Killed a man with his bare hands, then killed travolta on the crapper. Oh, and can't forget the samurai sword incident as well. Definately Butch. |
|
|
Samuel L. Jackon's character---his is the only wallet that says "bad mother fucker" on it. Jules rocks, rest my case.
|
|
Jules is the man
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I'll lay my vengeance upon thee" |
|
WELL I'M A MUSHROOM CLOUD LAYIN' MOTHER-FUCKER, MOTHER-FUCKER!

Butch.
1) Killed a man punching him with boxing gloves - damn hard to do. 2) Blew away a hitman with his own gun. 3) Almost killed Marcellus by punching him to a pulp on the floor - was only stopped by the hick with shotgun. 4) Killed a man with a samurai sword - even gave him the final coup de grace without even looking at him. 5) Didn't get fucked by a homo or a gimp. 6) Outsmarted Marcellus Wallace, fucked him over in a gambling scam, ran him over with a car, beat him senseless with his bear hands, stole his money, saw him get fucked up the ass... and still manged to get Marcellus to call it "even". 7) Drives away with a ton of money, his watch, a nice ride, the girl and a grin. Butch his the man. |

Favorite quote: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead. Good argument to be made for Jules, too. |

This is a tough one.
I think we can rule out Vincent Vega. He didn't come off as very tough, except when he stared down Butch in the bar. You have to admire the serenity under fire possessed by Jules Winnfield, which makes him pretty tough in his own way. Butch Coolidge DID kill a man with his bare hands, walked away from a major car accident, then proceeded to take out the gimp and Maynard and very nearly Marsellus. A man has to have iron in his balls to pull the bookie stunt that he did, as well as having the courage to retrieve his father's watch. Marsellus Wallace was at the business end of that car accident and managed to pursue his assailant on foot immediately afterward. That is sheer physical toughness if I ever saw it. Winston Wolf was absolute ice, decisive and determined under the greatest of pressure. He feared no one and commanded the utmost respect. I have a hard time choosing. Good question. |

Jules did pretty well as a Hockey coach. www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/hockey-coach-jules.html |
|
|
Marcellus, he didn't get where he was by being a punk. Also takes some balls to wear big earrings. ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!
|
|
Butch killed several people, including one in a boxing ring (wearing gloves), and managed to keep his cool and ultimately triumph despite the worst of circumstances.
Jules was cool, but not the badass that Butch was. -Troy |
|
Jules would have freaked out and gotten him and Marcellus killed in Zeke's basement. Hell the boy didn't even know what to do with a dead "n****r" in his car - he had to call for help on how to operate a garden hose and towels. Lame.
At the end of the day, Butch got Marcellus' money and Marcellus couldn't do dick about it.
Hey - what about Jimmy? |

|
Butch, hands down.
Jules: "English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?!" Marcellus: "No one needs to know about this except you, me and Mr.-soon-to-be-living-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-life-in-agonizing-pain-rapist here." Vincent Vega: "Would you give a guy a foot massage?" Jules Winnfield: "Fuck you." |

Favorite Charachter:
Winston Wolf Favorite Line(s): "Sheeeiiiit NE-GRO! That's all you had to say!" "This watch was your birth right, he'd be damn if some nip was gonna get his greasy yella hands on it." |
|
I must say that I really could've done without the mental image of Christopher Walken shoving a watch up his corn-shute.
|
|
... I don't know if Winston Wolf was the toughest, but he seemed to share similar characteristics as I do - hence the screen name. But then again, just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character.
... My favorite all-time movie BTW |
|
|
That monologue is one of my favorites EVER! |
|
|
Marcellus......... I'm prepared to scour the the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a nigger waiting in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass.
|
|
That's not tough...that's talk. And he had someone else do the dirty work for him. Plus he was the one doing the ned beatty impression... |
|
|
The Ned Beatty bit aside, Marcellus was still a bad ass. He went after Butch pretty hard inspite of getting waffled by that car. |

|
How about this:
"Aww man, I shot Marvin in the face!" The one guy that Vincent offed was by accident! |
|
Funniest line in the movie. |
|
|
Favorite quote -
|
|
|
Tom Cruise??? |
|
|
YOU FORGOT THE BEST LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ONE THAT PRECLUDES WHAT YOU WROTE!!!! "This is some FUCKED UP REPUGNANT shit!!!" |

|
Antwan Rockamora aka Tony Rockyhorror.....
Gave Marcellus's woman a foot massage (that's pretty bold if you saw Uma Thurman's feet in Kill Bill)...resulting in him getting dropped 4 stories from his balcony and crashing through a glass greenhouse...survived with only a speech impediment as his permanent injury. |
|
The only thing Antwan touched of Mia Wallace's was her hand when he shook it at her wedding. |
|
|
Definetly the Wolfe, one of the all time best Tarantino characters.
|
|
That's what Mia said.......Wouldn't be the first time a woman lied |

|
I almost forgot one of the best quotes ever:
"well gentlemen let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet." |
|
Hey, I tied it up for Jules! There's so many good lines in that movie, but I always chuckle at:
Look maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but touchin' his lady's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her holiest of holies, ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Foot massages don't mean shit. |
