What does Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) has inside the case he carried the whole Pulp Fiction movie???????????????

Answer 1

The only indisputable observations about the stolen attaché case recovered by Jules and Vincent are that its latch lock combination is "666", the "number of the Beast" as given in the Biblical Book of Revelation, and that the contents of the case either glow or are highly reflective. Whenever asked, director Tarantino has replied that there is no explanation for the case's contents: it is simply a MacGuffin. Originally, the Pulp Fiction case was to contain diamonds (stolen in the film Reservoir Dogs), but this was seen as too mundane. For filming purposes, the briefcase contained an orange lightbulb with a battery. Many theories have been proposed for the contents of the briefcase, Tarantino's disclaimer notwithstanding.

A popular Internet theory, especially around the release date, was that it contains Elvis's famous gold jumpsuit, as it would be a valuable gold object, light and instantly recognizable, and would fit in with the frequent nods to 1950s nostalgia found throughout the film. Supporting this initially was Mia's cryptic reference to Vincent as an "Elvis man", however the video release made it clear this was actually a reference to a deleted scene between the two characters. As a true MacGuffin, though, what the suitcase contains is not important; it may even be empty. What makes it important is how desperately Marsellus and everyone who encounters it seems to desire it, but more importantly, Jules and Vincent's willingness to kill and risk their own lives to get it for Marsellus. This provides a striking demonstration of how strong their loyalty is. A new theory gaining prominence is that the briefcase contains a golden gun[citation needed]. The roots of this rumor come from the 1966 Spaghetti Western "Ringo and his Golden Pistol", Jules calling Tim Roth's character "Ringo" and Quentin Tarantino's love of Italian Westerns. Two other theories are that the briefcase contains the Holy Grail[citation needed], glowing miraculously or that it contains Marsellus' soul.

Answer 2

Some believe it to be gold bullion, technically it was an orange lightbulb with a battery.

Answer 3

An orange light bulb.

From the International Movie Database:

"According to Roger Avary, who co-wrote the script with Quentin Tarantino, the original plan was to have the briefcase contain diamonds. This seemed neither exciting nor original, so Avary and Tarantino decided to have the briefcase's contents never appear on screen; this way each filmgoer could mentally "fill in the blank" with whatever struck his or her imagination as best fitting the description "so beautiful". The orange light bulb (projecting shimmering light onto the actors' faces) was a last-minute decision and added a completely unintended fantastic element."

Answer 4

i also believe it ti be the soul of Mr wallace> As allready said, Wallis has a plaster on the back of his head where his soul was removed, and it is that which is in the case. There are lots of good websites around abour pulp fiction, one which i saw many years ago gave a very good explination about the case contents and went on to say about it being Wallis's soul.

Answer 5

Gold..... if you watch quentin film's there is always a twist.....this iwist i think is the gold in this film will be explained when he fil'm pulp fiction 2 and will explain why the gold was being collected and why the losers on he settee had the gold in the first place....wicked film

Answer 6

My hubby read an article in the paper recently about Samuel L Jackson & the reporter asked him what was in the briefcase & he said he didn't look in it. It was one of those things that lets you use your imagination.

Answer 7

Gold. If you'll pay close attention to the seen in the restaurant when he opens the briefcase up, you'll notice the gold hue that shines on the robber, as he ask "Is that what I think it is?" Also when John Travolta opened it up in the apartment before the killing of the boys took place, the color of the contents shined upon him as well. Watch it again and I'm sure you will notice it.

Answer 8

Marcellus's Soul.

Answer 9

it was the soul of Marcellus Wallace. the three guys in the begining of the movie stole it from Mr. Wallace in the backstory. you can still see where they extraction took place. a tiny hole in the back of Mr. Wallaces neck is covered by a band-aid.

Answer 10

Tarantino said he wanted to leave it open for the viewer to define.

Some say it's Marcellus' soul.
