Vincent, with his gun in his hand, turns to the backseat to ask for Marvin's opinion, but he accidentally shoots him in the face, arguing that Jules hit a bump that made him pull the trigger. As mentioned above, Marsellus sends Jules and Vincent to retrieve a briefcase from a business partner named Brett.
Back in the car, Vincent gets into a disagreement with Jules who was convinced they have been saved by a miracle. Brandishing his pistol while talking, Vincent accidentally shoots and kills Marvin the informant who led them to the college students.
Marvin responds that he doesn't have one and Vincent tells him he must have an opinion but in mid-sentence, Vince accidently shoots Marvin in the face which his blood splatters on Vince and Jules and the car's windshield. They are forced to dispose his body with help from Jules friend Jimmie Dimmick and "The Wolf".
Knowing Marsellus Wallace would be prepared to kill him for his betrayal, and knowing that there was someone in his home, Butch opened fire in an act of self-preservation. Vincent's death speaks as much to his bad luck as it does to Butch's motivation to get out of this alive.
On their way back, Jules talked to Vincent about surviving when one of Brett's men opened fire on them. Vincent turned around to ask Marvin's opinion and accidentally shot him in the face. Though it wasn't explicit in the movie, Marvin was Jules' informant, which is why they didn't kill him initially.
Why? Because Brett's crew had made a deal with Marcellus Wallace and then tried to renege on it. The other thing they were sent to do was retrieve the briefcase with its mysterious contents.
It turns out, we have an answer, and it's been known online for a while now. I was researching something completely unrelated when I stumbled on a strange fact that kind of blew my mind: Butch, the boxer played by Bruce Willis, is the character who keyed Vega's car.
Zed chose Marsellus 'randomly' and he and Maynard brought Marsellus to the back room. They bent Marsellus over a vaulting horse in the room and Zed raped Marsellus while Maynard cheered him on. Butch managed to untie himself and knocked The Gimp out.
A theory suggests that Brett's associate actually had a fake gun but didn't know it, which explains why he “missed” all his shots and why the revolver on the gun didn't move when he shot – plus, he was too close to Jules and Vincent to completely miss them.
Apparently, The Gimp is a hitchiker who fell victim to Maynard and his brother. Plus, Tarantino intended for the poor guy to die by the end of the film: “It doesn't quite play this way in the movie, but in my mind when I wrote it, the Gimp's dead. Butch knocked him out and then when he passed out he hung himself.
Vincent turned to the backseat to ask for Marvin's opinion, but they hit a bump and Vincent accidentally shot Marvin in the face. Despite its themes, Pulp Fiction only has seven deaths, but they were graphic and shocking enough to cause controversy.
Those with an understanding of how boxing bets work have explained that it was financially better for Butch to bet on himself, betray Marsellus, and run away with the money, though the question remains as to why he took such a big risk, as Marsellus and company were obviously going to retaliate.
The chronological ending is Butch driving off into the sunset (in a manner of speaking) with Fabienne on Grace, his new bike which is definitely a chopper, not a motorcycle. It's a pretty standard movie ending.
Following Michael Madsen's decision to not take the part of Vincent Vega, Quentin Tarantino turned to another top-tier actor when casting one of the most important roles in Pulp Fiction.
Marsellus Wallace is the main antagonist of the 1994 crime film Pulp Fiction. He is the crime kingpin of Los Angeles, the husband of Mia Wallace and the boss of Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield.
He is best known for the roles in the 1994 films The Mask, where he plays its main antagonist, Dorian Tyrell, and Pulp Fiction, in which he portrayed Zed, a sadistic security guard, rapist and serial killer who serves as an antagonist in the film.
Maynard is a major antagonist in the 1994 crime film Pulp Fiction. He is a pawn shop owner, rapist, and implied serial killer who victimizes men that he and his brother Zed kidnap.
He calls Butch a “palooka” which is a boxing-related insult, meaning, basically, a fighter who's not good at fighting, following that up with “Punchy” in a mocking tone.
Marsellus gave him somewhat easy tasks that Vincent couldn't get through without some problems in the process: he sent him with Jules, his best hitman, to get the suitcase, asked him to take Mia to dinner and bring her back home, and sent him to Butch's apartment.
In order to maintain his power, Marcellus has to appear impervious to all danger. He has to seem like an unstoppable force that cannot be challenged, which is likely why he threw Tony Rocky Horror out of a window.
Vincent, with his gun in his hand, turns to the backseat to ask for Marvin's opinion, but he accidentally shoots him in the face, arguing that Jules hit a bump that made him pull the trigger. As mentioned above, Marsellus sends Jules and Vincent to retrieve a briefcase from a business partner named Brett.
After Vincent checks the contents of the briefcase, Jules shoots one of Brett's friends. He declaims a passage from the Bible, and he and Vincent kill Brett for trying to double-cross Marsellus.
The restaurant features most prominently in Pulp Fiction, where Jules Winnfield eats the sandwich to intimidate the main target of a contract killing he has been ordered to carry out and remarks, "This is a tasty burger!"
