Pulp Fiction

Trivia: Its interesting to note that Bruce Willis' character shoots the man who played his father in "look who's talking".

Trivia: Bruce Willis originally wanted to play Vincent. Tarantino decided he wasn't suitable but amended the role of Butch to be a washed up boxer, rather than the up and coming boxer he was originally meant to be, to give Willis a part in the movie.

Trivia: Quentin Tarantino originally wanted the song "My Sharona" by the Knack as the song to be played for the emergence of the gimp but the lead singer was a born again Christian and didn't want the song associated with sexual violence.

Trivia: Only some words which are said by Jules before he kills people are similar to Ezechiel 25.17. Quentin Tarantino wrote the additional words.

Mistakes

Deliberate mistake: Both in the first scene and last scene of the movie, we see Yolanda and Ringo starting the robbery by jumping from their seat and start threatening the costumers. In the first scene, Yolanda says "And I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you." But in the last scene the line changes to "and I'll execute every one of you motherfuckers". (00:04:40 - 02:18:00)

Suggested correction: Tarantino has explained that this is not an error, rather, he did this on purpose. When we first examine the scene, we are seeing Ringo and Yolanda's conversation from their perspective. Obviously, because this is their conversation, what we hear first is probably what was actually said. However, at the end of the film, what is said is different because we are no longer viewing the situation from Ringo and Yolanda's perspective, but rather everyone else in the diner, most specifically Jules.

Sounds like a typical Tarantino excuse for a stupid blunder.

I believe about 70% of the so-called mistakes called out here are really cinematic techniques to show points of view, highlight significant action, and underscore dramatic moments.
