11:16 The famous Ezekiel 25:17 speech Jules delivers is not actually a biblical verse. Only the final line is inspired by the biblical passage, the bulk of the speech is lifted directly from the opening of the 1976 Sonny Chiba Kung Fu film - The Bodyguard.
If there was something that Butch's Father have in common with Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump is that they both served in the military but I think that Lt Dan's family served at least three generations. Remember Butch's Father was in a Vietnamese Prison Camp, where conditions were horrible. He had to hide up his backside becuase it was safe there. Also never delegate something to someone no matter how much you trust them because they will forget. Remember on The Cosby Show, Denise Huxtable forgot to put in the application for the house in Rhoade Island, NY then she admits she did it on purpose. Then the late Malcolm Jamal-Warner forgot to put in his application for his dorm room. Also remember Jerry asked George to deliver a Book to the library and he got a wedgie and Jerry got fined. My Mother would always be on my @ss to do these type of things as well as my father.
The problem with robbing a restaurant is if you rob all those customers you can get a charge of robbery for each one. Since you kept all those customers from leaving you can get a kidnapping charge for each one and that could amount to being sentenced to hundreds of years in prison.
the intro song wasnt known in mainstream culture until pulp fiction, just so you know. black eyed peas used it years later probably cause of this movie
High school dances in the 50s were known as "Sock hops" because they were generally held in the gym and everyone had to take off their shoes to avoid scuffing up the floor with the hard-soled shoes everyone wore at the time. It would make sense for a 50s themed restaurant to follow the same convention for a twist contest. also, Tarantino generally takes any opportunity he gets to show lady-feet.
