Pulp Fiction was one of the best films of the 90s and had a style totally unique to itself, with Quentin Tarantino making a movie that can be watched over and over, every time you notice something new and parts of it make more sense as the stories within link together.
The film was made so successful, not just by the director but with a stellar cast, too, so let’s take a look back at the stars of Pulp Fiction and what they look like now…
[adinserter block=”10″]
1. Vincent Vega – John Travolta.
[adinserter block=”11″]
This was the film that brought John Travolta back to being a household name with his portrayal of Vince Vega, the mobster who loves to dance, and who has the ability to go from being friendly(ish) to ultra violent in a split second!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Travolta has gone on to have a very successful career, he became a leading man again following Pulp Fiction and has starred in many productions on the big and small screen since.
2. Jules Winnfield – Samuel L. Jackson.
[adinserter block=”10″]
The character that helped Samuel L. Jackson famous for the catchphrase “Motherf*cker”, every role that Jackson has played since has been compared to what must be his magnum opus, Jules from Pulp Fiction. The man who is the ultimate gangster, loves a good burger and likes to quote The Bible before killing people, he is one Bad Motherf*cker, just like his wallet says!

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the biggest names in Hollywood now, and is synonymous with Tarantino films, as he tends to star in all of them, and never fails to connect with the audience.

3. Mia Wallace – Uma Thurman.
[adinserter block=”11″]
She did the most incredible dance with John Travolta and had the most disturbing overdose! She was the wife of a mobster, and had seen people killed for giving her a foot massage!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Therman is another favourite of Tarantino, as she went on to be The Bride in the Kill Bill films, and has continued to have a varied and very successful career since.

4. Butch Coolidge – Bruce Willis.

[adinserter block=”11″]
Another come-back role, Bruce Willis shot back to leading man status following this movie, too, playing the boxer who is paid to throw a match but changes his mind, and goes on the run from the gangsters. He also knows a story about a watch…
[adinserter block=”12″]
Bruce Willis continues to act regularly and has reprised his role of John McClane in the Die Hard films several times since. Willis is a very talented actor and has been in some major productions over the years making him a powerful player in Hollywood.
5. Winston Wolfe “The Wolf” – Harvey Keitel.
[adinserter block=”10″]
[adinserter block=”11″]
Winston Wolfe was the “cleaner” who knew how to clear up a messy situation, so when someone’s brains are accidentally spread across the back window of Vince and Jules’ car, he’s the man to call on!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Harvey Keitel is a stalwart of the gangster movie genre, and has continued to act regularly, but most recently has been reprising his role as Winston Wolfe in the Direct Line Insurance adverts!
[adinserter block=”10″]
6. Ringo “Pumpkin” – Tim Roth.
[adinserter block=”11″]
One of the two half-wits who decide to hold up a cafe just at the time that Vince and Jules are in there, which really is not one of their best life decisions!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Roth has gone on to have a prolific career, regularly acting still, he has recently appeared in Twin Peaks (the reboot), The Con is On and Tin Star, with several projects still underway so he’s not slowing down!
[adinserter block=”10″]
7. Yolanda “Honey Bunny” – Amanda Plummer.
[adinserter block=”11″]
The other half of the couple who hold up the diner and later regret it, Honey Bunny has a vicious streak a mile long and a serious potty mouth, giving even Jules a run for his money on the expletives!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Another actress who has gone on to have a prolific and varied career, recent years have seen Plummer starring in projects as varied as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Blacklist and The Dancer.
[adinserter block=”10″]
8. Fabienne – Maria de Medeiros.
[adinserter block=”11″]
She played the boxer’s girlfriend and was extremely naive, she seemed far too sweet and innocent to be caught up in all this and please don’t ask her the difference between a motorcycle and a chopper as she hasn’t got a clue!
[adinserter block=”12″]
De Medeiros has had a very successful career, she has acted regularly since Pulp Fiction and appeared in some big projects like Venus and Apollo and dozens of successful European productions.
[adinserter block=”10″]
9. Marsellus Wallace – Ving Rhames.
[adinserter block=”11″]
The intimidating mobster who has set Jules and Vince on their mission, he is not a guy to cross, and so when he inadvertently ends up in a place with a cop called Zed and a Gimp who is kept in a box, Zed regrets his next move for the rest of his (now very short) life!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Ving Rhames has become a big player in Hollywood, appearing in some of the biggest franchises of recent years including the Mission: Impossible films and Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2!
[adinserter block=”10″]
10. Lance – Eric Stoltz.
[adinserter block=”11″]
Vince’s drug dealer and the one who gives Mia the drugs she overdoses on, he is the one that Vince brings her to when she is OD’d! He is not happy about this at all but tries to help get the situation sorted never the less!
Eric Stoltz is a talented and varied character actor who has appeared in many productions over his love active acting career. Recent years have seen him star in the likes of Grey’s Anatomy, Caprica and Madam Secretary.
[adinserter block=”10″]
11. Jody – Rosanna Arquette.
[adinserter block=”11″]
Lance’s wife and someone who is not afraid to show off, or talk about, her many (and sometimes very intimate) piercings!
[adinserter block=”12″]
Pulp Fiction helped to reignite Rosanna Arquette’s career, and she has gone on to be prolific since then, appearing in some big productions including Medium, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Ray Donovan and Swipe Right, with several more productions in the pipeline!
[adinserter block=”10″]
12. Captain Koons – Christopher Walken.
[adinserter block=”11″]
Playing Captain Koons in a flashback, Walken was perfect in this role. Koons brought back a gold watch for Butch from Vietnam, but didn’t have any safe place to store it, or did he…
[adinserter block=”12″]
One of the most intense and recognisable actors in Hollywood, Walken is able to lend his style of acting to any role and certainly has a massive screen presence which he uses to good effect, he has gone on to star in the likes of Seven Psychopaths, Gods Behaving Badly and Nine Lives.
