I love the line describing how fast he drives. So keep up. I couldn't find any clips of it. So I made one. I do not own any of this content. All rights belong to the content owner.
It's ironic that The Wolf is so meticulous and detailed in his plan to avoid detection from authorities but then decides to drive real fast with a dead body in the trunk.
I would call that iconic... he also wastes a good few minutes by sipping coffee and telling the guys to do the very obvious. but still, hey, you got a corpse in a car minus a head in the garage, and he got rid off it in 40 minutes. well played, Winston!
To him 40 minutes was 'plenty of time', so he thought he could have a quick coffee break. Also keeping in mind he has probably been called in to clean these messes up on more than one occasion.
Hopefully Vega remembered the seat/steering wheel and mirror positions given he's taller than Mr Wolf, a pet peeve after other people have driven my car.
Well that's because you cannot see the back of his head. There would just be a little hole in his face but the exit wound is where you see the devastation
The Wolf is no superhuman, he feels the pressure just like anyone else. The difference is that he can control it. This is why he needs those comic relief moments, so he can vent some of the steam off. Great inspirational character.
Project management 101: deliver instructions, ensure the hierarchy maintains itself in the event of emergencies, ensure deadlines are met, manage expectations.
I also like to think they used the scene from "training day", where Alonzo had his"King-Kong-aint-got-shit-on-me-moment", was used for when Tenpenny died in the end of GTA San Andreas in the center of the neighbourhood where you live...
@@DaCoolCrushIceKillah In GTA V, R* also borrowed from Walt blowing Tuco's compound up with the fulminated mercury in Breaking Bad. Oh and there's a few missions where you drive an RV meth lab around Sandy Shores which is probably inspired by New Mexico. R* borrows from already awesome stuff and then they make their own awesome.
The fact that The Wolf drove the car with the body in trunk shows that he's willing to go all the way to do the job right. He takes all the risk but also places himself in a position where he's best equipped to deal with the situation if it arises. His nickname is well-earned.
The hallmark of the dork isn't the clothes they wear, it's their uncomfortableness in their own skin. Wear clothes that make you feel like a dork and you'll look like a dork.
Keep in mind these are clothes that Jimmie wore around the house like he's wearing himself in this scene. These aren't his going out clothes. But if you're going to be lounging around the house you want to be comfortable while doing so.
Normally in movies, you wouldn't cut out the part where the guys are taking the body away. You'd maybe wanna add in a scene of suspense that the heroes will get caught. But The Wolf doesn't get caught. He's the fucking Wolf and he gets his shit done right. That's why I love how the second he hands Vincent his keys, the camera immediately goes to them done with the job just as he planned. Tarantino gave this guy more characterization and depth than most of the clowns from today's movies.
tha purpose of dis brief vignette is not to add suspense to tha movie, but to magic-carpet jules & vincent to tha diner where they confront ringo & honeybunny & jules newfound faith in god is put to tha test; DAT is tha suspenseful & moving moment of tha chapter, not tha parts featuring mr. wolf, who basically functions as a guardian angel 2 jules, u dig? why u think vincent is so pissy wit him? why u think he has jules ride wit him wereas vincent has to follow behind in tha wolfs ride? i choose 2 believe it symbolic of vincents damnation, his determination to deny tha miracle they xperienced, & thus deny tha possibility of redemption & tha promise of a better life, a damnation which come 2 fruition weeks later when butch wastes vincent in a mirroring of seinfelds ambush in bretts apartment
you know how Quentin likes to mix humor with violence? is that what he was trying to accomplish with the quick shot of dead Marvin in the trunk? cause I laughed.
A great movie. Watched it multiple times. Haven't watched it in awhile. Maybe I'll pull it out and re-watch it tonight or next couple of days. Thanks for the idea.
@@laminage ---- I think more specifically Good, Bad & Ugly. There is a scene between blondie & Tuco about spurs. And the movie is one of QT's favorite movie.
I'm guessing the reason he had Vincent drive the Acura (NSX) is because Jules as a black man would have a MUCH greater chance of being pulled over. Very clever writing.
That he drives fast is one of those realistic details that makes the movie great, IMO. Yes it seems counterintuitive that you would drive fast when your goal is to avoid attention from the police but Wolfe is enough of a pro to know that acting suspiciously is what attracts attention. If you’re confident and cool and do what you normally do, the police are less likely to notice than if you act nervous and guilty by doing the speed limit and looking over your shoulder the whole way.
I remember the first time seeing this and having so much anxiety over how fast Wolf drives, thinking they would get pulled over on the way to the junkyard.
I love that he called him "Lash Larue". My dad used to tell me about his western heroes and a couple of them were Lash Larue, Whip Wilson, and Zorro. All of those characters used a whip so my dad had a bullwhip when he was a kid. Of course years later his own son, at 9 years old, becomes totally star struck by Indiana Jones on the big screen and my next gift was my own 10 foot, swivel-handle, latigo bullwhip.
I'm not sure if the production company couldn't get the rights to "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt Jules was supposed to wear, but at least they got my old college's t-shirt for Vincent.
I just realized that Wolf takes the tainted car with Jules instead of Vincent. Maybe because Vincent did the shooting and he instinctively knows that Jules will stay cool under pressure while Vincent won't.
"How bout you Lash Laroue...." the way Harvey Keitel says jingling and jangling has been stuck in my head since I was 14. It gets me everytime. Such a uniquely Harvey way of saying it.
I love that he doesn't let Jules drive the Acura because a black guy driving that nice car in that outfit might draw suspicion, so he has him riding shotgun instead.
Living in England , every time I hear Harvey keitel speak , I hear, “with direct line , you’ll get your money back guaranteed “ Somebody knows what I’m talking about
Sacrilege. Also they use a cheap knock-off song that sounds a bit like Dick Dale & The Del Tones "Misirlou", presumably because they spunked the entire budget on Harvey Keitel and didn't have enough left over for the proper theme tune. Still, I can't fault Direct Line as an insurance company - they paid to have my car reupholstered after I accidentally shot someone on the backseat. Piece of mind and all that.
@@dronebee83 yeah they’re pretty decent I did a heist a couple of years back total botch young lad who turned out to be a cop nearly bled to death all over the back seat of my car. Direct line didn’t ask any questions
0:26 To those commenting. I am in EMS. Thentrance wound is accurate. Unseen is thathe back of poor Marvin's head is blown off and brain matter and skull rebounded off the back window. Whenever I am in that situation, I ensure my finger is outside the trigger guard and safety is ON and muzzle not pointing at my listener.
Theres something really dark about the casualness of everyone disposing of a body. A person who was once alive just layin in the trunk of a car with trash LIKE trash, lifeless but probably still warm. Interesting kind of humor to wonder/analyse about.
KoOkiEzRoCkz yup, and guys who associated with him are hiding him away without letting anyone know he’s gone, he’ll be a missing person forever as far as his friends and family are concerned.
I think people in the Tarantino-verse are just more accepting of death/violence, just look at the ending for once upon a time in hollywood. Also, in that universe, they basically slaughtered Nazis in a burning theatre and that’s what the kids read about in their history books. Think about it...
Important info: 1. According to Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Aniston narrowly missed out on the role of Mia Wallace to Uma Thurman. 2. Alfre Woodard, Halle Berry, and Annabella Sciorra auditioned for the role of Mia Wallace. 3. Sylvester Stallone was briefly considered for the role of Butch. 4. The word "fuck" is used two hundred sixty-five times. 5. Upon receiving the 159-page screenplay to read after TriStar dropped the project, Harvey Weinstein remarked, "What is this, the fucking telephone book?"
I'll bet that the conversation that Jules & Winston had while driving out to Monster Joe's together was great -- wouldn't mind being a back seat passenger for that.
Considering what happened to the last back seat passenger in that car I think that I would have to pass on that. Granted Vincent and his twitchy trigger finger isn't in the car this time.
@@joemckim1183 very good point, but I was thinking more about just regular topics -- Jules was very calm by that point & prob over what had happened. He knew the life they led was filled with the potential for situations like this one to erupt & so he accepted that the accident happened and forgave Vincent for it. Look at how they essentially returned to their normal banter after they dropped the tainted car off and went to breakfast. Ergo, he and the Wolf probably made some fascinating smalltalk while on the road.
@@joemckim1183 btw, a fun and sorta obsessive detail -- I did a calculation of the mileage btwn Toluca Lake & North Hollywood & it was about 4 mi of driving so they didn't have very far to go but in LA traffic at about 9am, who the hell knows how long it would've taken, right??
Mr. Wolfe dresses them down through the whole process, "is the car good, any broken taillights, you got to clean all the little pieces of brain." Etc etc. All to avoid suspicion then as he is about to drive the car with the body in the truck he tells them he drives real fucking fast, so keep up. Lmao. Great character.
Wolfe plan was to get out of there as fast as he could + show how cocky he is. Even if police stops you, they don't need to search whole car for a dead body, that's why he told them to not do anything until he'll do it. Because he's good talker, he would probably make up some story to cops, take a fine and go.
Exactly I don't know about you guys but they don't check your entire car around here when you get a speeding fine. Sometimes they don't even glance inside.
There is no freaken way that Mr. Wolf would leave Jimmy alive. Jimmy a civilian knew their names, faces, cars, and what numbers they called. .....And could easily connect all four (Marsellus included) to a murder. I'm sure that Jimmy and his wife accidently died a few weeks after.
I'm sure Jules vouched for him. Also, if they used to work together, that means Jimmie probably knows Marsellus as well (at least by reputation) and how to act ("I see nothing" as Sgt. Schultz would say).
I wouldn't say that. I'd rather have a character that leaves a powerful and lasting impression over three minutes, rather than be diminished by being watered down over two hours.
@@Tubeite For Winston Wolf to have had such a great character he have needed a strong enough back story that could have been made into a movie. Without that stellar back story his character wouldn’t have rang so true.
