what was in the suitcase in the movie Pulp Fiction?

Answer 1

I have heard several speculative explanations myself, as to what is actually in the briefcase, but the Marsailles Wallace 'soul' theory seems to stand out in my mind, as being the most interesting and poignant.

I mean, look at all the pieces involved in this speculation...

You might have recalled the band-aid on the back of Marsailles Wallace's neck??? Some biblical references reportedly suggest that when the devil takes/claims your soul, he removes it from the back of your head (what the...? Never heard'a that before, in Sunday school!!!)....

Now, if you recall, the combination of the briefcase is '666', and when anyone opens up the case, a brilliant, overwhelming light cascaded from it.

Is it possible that held inside the case was Wallace's soul, and perhaps he was trying to bargain for it's return??? The three kids in that first apartment, who were holding the case (including ol' 'Flock 'o' Seagulls', there...) might represent the devil's couriers; when one of the kids flew out of the bathroom, and fire that "hand cannon...bigger than him" at Jules and Vincent, all of the bullets 'missed' them. "God came down and stopped these M/F bullets", because they couldhave been there to save Wallace's soul, hence Jule's 'devine intervention' realization and cognigtation.

...an interesting speculation, to say the least, but as I said before, most poignant, would you say???

Answer 2

I have asked this question many times also and I have gotten the same answer from many people so I have to believe it is as close to correct without getting it directly from Quintane Terrantino himself. It is his soul in the briefcase and that is why it is so important to get it back. That might not be correct but like I said it is the only answer I have ever heard or gotten when I asked.

Answer 3

I've heard, Marcellus' soul, & that whole story. Also I've heard it was the diamonds Mr.Pink gets away with in Reservoir Dogs. It's Never been said by Quintin, he's always said "it's whatever you want it to be"

Answer 4

Answer 5
