Vincent comes out of the bathroom to find Butch pointing Marcellus' gun at him. After a few tense seconds, Butch shoots Vincent dead, avenging his early insult. It is unknown if Jules Winnfield, Mia Wallace, Marsellus Wallace, Lance, Jody, Jimmie or Winston Wolfe were informed of Vincent Vega's death.
It might seem that Butch had some greater purpose for killing Vincent. He's mostly acting on instinct. 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.
Last but not least, Vincent was at Butch's now-abandoned apartment when Butch returned to get his father's gold watch, but Vincent recklessly left his gun on the kitchen counter, which Butch used to kill Vincent when he got out of the bathroom.
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.
When Vincent accidentally shoots Marvin, not only does the bullet from his . 45 blow his head entirely off - it clearly explodes his head - but the window doesn't shatter and when we see Marvin's corpse in the trunk, his head is intact.
In 2008 he was the victim of a targeted daytime attack in Marbella. He was shot five times. Having lost an eye and being told by doctors that he would never walk again, lying in a hospital bed Marvin made the decision to turn his back on his criminal past.
Butch made the big mistake of double-crossing Marsellus, knowing well that he was a powerful man and could have him killed. Butch won the boxing match but accidentally killed his opponent, so Marsellus sent hitmen after him.
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.
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. It's possible Vincent even bet money on Butch and assumes he will now lose it, knowing, or thinking he knows, that the fight is fixed.
The most popular theory is that it's Marcellus Wallace's soul, hence the case's glow, the Band-Aid on the back of Wallace's head (where the soul is removed) and the combination – 666.
And, of course, the lives of Jules and Vincent are saved, when a volley of shots in the apartment misses them. Jules chooses to call this a miracle, a sign from God, and retires from crime.
Butch accepted a bribe from Marsellus to lose the fight, but he double-crosses him and arranges for the money to be bet on him, and goes on to win the fight. On his way back to the motel, he learns that he beat his opponent so badly that he died, and plans to escape to another place the next morning.
Vincent Nigel-Murray's death in Bones was a shock to the audience, and his last words haunted the characters for a long time. The show's creator revealed that Vincent was killed off because he was a fan-favorite intern, causing heartbreak among viewers.
Jackson), their boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), his wife Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), and boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), and they all make it to the end of the story, except for Vincent, who is killed in the segment “The Gold Watch”.
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.
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.
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.
The 'Gimp' functions in the film to warn the viewer of what awaits Butch and Marcellus at the hands of a sadistic gun shop owner and his crooked cop buddy, one of whom may be named Zed.
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.
Who was originally supposed to play Butch in Pulp Fiction?
Tarantino originally wrote the role of Butch for Matt Dillon. Instead of Butch, Dillon wanted to play Vincent. This posed a challenge for Tarantino, as Pulp Fiction's green light hinged on the casting of one of Miramax's approved actors that would draw audiences to the film.
At the start of the game, their steamy chats set the Circle on fire, but once Raven caught wind of her man two-timing her, she completely iced him out. The moment that changed it all was Marvin's date with Tamira, who was actually a catfish played by Tamira's IRL girlfriend, Tasia.
The title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. Tarantino wrote Pulp Fiction in 1992 and 1993, incorporating scenes that Avary originally wrote for True Romance (1993).
Pulp Fiction deals with themes of redemption and karma. Thus, when Jules and Vincent narrowly miss being shot, Jules decides to retire from his bad business, but Vincent chooses to carry on. Jules' character faces a redemption arc, whereas Vincent does not, resulting in his death.
