I have been a fan of the movie for quite some time. So I want to pose a question. What do you think is in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase? All we get to see is the golden light on certain characters faces, but we never get a look at what is in the actual case. Do you think its literally bullion/gold or does it have a deeper metaphorical meaning.

Please enlighten us.

From what I've heard... its marcellus's soul.. eluding to the bandaid on the back of his neck.. where soul stealers mythically have extracted the souls of evil men.. Also heard it was Elvis's jumpsuit.. guess we'll never know.

My guess is money, gold or drugs. Or maybe something else. Btu I'm sure Tarantino knew what was in the briefcase. Could be Marcellus's soul or something supernatural like that, I've heard it's Marcellus's soul...

All you need to know is it's shit your pants awesome.

I read in an interview that originally the briefcase contained diamonds but then they thought that was too stupid so they figured it was better not to show it and let the audience decide for themselves in their heads what the beautiful thing was. The mistake was putting in that orange lightbulb which made it seem like it was something spiritual. It wasn't.

It´s Gold Im Sure jaja ! :)

Yeah, I always thought it was Wallace's soul.

I guess it's gold but Tarantino wanted to keep it a secret ;)

Might be God, that would be funny.......or not.

A couple of theorys on this i've heard in addition to Marcellus's soul was it was an Oscar Marcellus had organised for Mia. The other was it was the diamonds from the Resovoir Dogs hoist.

it was the new LEEDS UNITED away shirt..awesome and oh so obvious,
but i suppose it could have been beckhams bollocks !!?

i like to think it's a soul in there. whose, i dont know, probably someone who's pure and innocent; hence, all the staring and 'yeah we happy' and 'it's beautiful' and makes other think 'goddamit mickey, what is it?'

Actually that would be histarical! B/c of Mr. Jackson's speech about devine intervention...

tarantino said he didnt even decide wat it was and thats its up 2 you to decide

Tarantino had said that he initially wanted it to be diamonds, but because of the cliche he left undecided. His words are that its mystery was only a plot element. I would love to think that its his soul though.

its the ear from R.D lol

could it have significance to the characters it lights up on...havent seen it for a while but im sure it will linkage them together somehow through the light!?

I´ll go for the soul...surely

I reckon it's mystery, in physical form, like literally mystery inside the briefcase

well Tarantino .. said in a interview that he would leave it up to us to decide ...

have none of you watched the movie with the trivia track playing? tarantino explains it all..... if you are gonna claim to like a movie, get informed!!!!!!

hey Curtis, if you're going to get informed, get in time machine and go back to 1993-4 and watch them shoot the damn film. hell, why not get a personal interview with Tarantino himself, or read the original script and interview everyone who wrote it. then tell me ur informed. i like the movie. seen it once. FU

Jacob- listen idiot, I dont need a personal interview with Tarantino. As i said, if you watch the movie with the trivia track playing, TARANTINO explains the breifcase and what may or may not be inside it. And how dare you come at me after seeing the movie ONCE. I cant even count the number of times i have seen it, so FU!!! (But if you have access to a time machine, disregard my previous insults.)

i love how idiots get all butt-hurt when a random stranger tells them off on the internet. well i must say, FUCK your trivia track, FUCK your opinion, and finally FUCK you. whats the point in watching a movie a million times if you know whats going to happen next, and you could recite the whole damn movie line for line. pathetic! get a life, or a woman to take up the slack in your free-time department.

I will let my wife know that i need to look for another woman to take up the slack in my free time. thanks for the suggestion. the point of watching a movie over and over is so that you can make random strangers such as yourself look like uninformed half-retarded ignorant assholes. pulp fiction is one of the greatest movies of all time!!!! My name's Pitt. And your ass ain't talkin' your way out of this shit

I Agree Curtis,seen it once what an idiot ,what the hell is he doing here if he only saw it once what a fool.anyway.the combination to the briefcase is 666 so that should tell u something right there and really look at john travoltas and tim roths reaction as they r the only 2 to see whats in it . it cant be gold or anything like that it his soul.

you people have too much time on your hands. nuff said

Spoken like a true dip shit. When all else fails, blame someone being smarter than you on the fact that you were less prepared. congrats on mediocrity jacob!

Hey dont blame us jacob your the one that went on a pulp fiction page on facebook .a movie you saw once.why dont you join the twilight page that seems to be about your speed.
