What's in the BRIEFCASE? Pulp Fiction Explained 

Royale with Cheese.

Mace Windu's Purple Lightsaber with Bad Motherf*cker engraved on it

Its an extremely embarrassing photo of spongebob at the Christmas party, aaaahhh hahaha!!

Let's be honest: The real thing in the briefcase is the mystery of the unknown. The existence of this and hundreds of other videos proves it.

It’s the Oscar it should’ve won for best picture!!!

It's the soul stone

Also take into consideration that whatever was in the briefcase was recognizable by Ringo, so while it's an interesting theory, I kinda doubt it's his soul. Also the original script for the movie had the case containing diamonds but was changed at the last minute. I always had assumed they were the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs.

"Special cia napkin"🤣

On a more serious note I fully believe it Marcellus' soul. There to many subtle and not quite so subtle hints to this as the story goes. There is no earthly item that would cause the jaw dropping, breath skipping response we see those who open the case get on sight of the contents. It also explains why Samuel goes on to live,showing his belief and recognition of God's existence and intervention and Travolta,even after seeing the soul for himself and watching a miracle first hand, still denies God and so looses his life. I've always believed it was his soul but you pointed out the halos on their heads which,even after all these years I hadn't noticed so thanks for that. Great video,keep it up.

‘94 was a great year and Pulp Fiction always takes me back. Me and a buddy went to see it out in theaters and we had that briefcase conversation a few times!

( confused john travolta intensifies)

In the epilogue, pumpkin (Tim Roth’s character) says something like “is that what I think it is”. Based on that I think it’s some rare artefact, possibly made of gold or some other very shiny metal

Nah, I think still think it's the stolen diamonds from the heist in RD, it makes more sense to me than Wallace somehow got his Soul back from the Devil after selling it for Power and Money (which would make for a really good movie idea).

In the final scene of the movie, when Ringo asks Jules about the briefcase contents, "Is that what I think it is?", Jules nods and replies"mmm hmm". That's the answer...it's what you think it is.

I think it’s a golden ”ROYALE WITH CHEESE”

Awesome I'm so glad you did a video on this!!!

It's Marcellus' soul, that's why the briefcase combination is "666". The reason for the band-aid in the back of Marcellus's neck is the result of making a deal with the devil. The Devil makes a slit in the back of your neck and pulls your soul through it.

I already had this theory as the reason but your elaboration went further than my own and blew my mind with all the little details you picked up on. Thanks for being so enlightening.

I like it, you gave much deeper meaning to all Jules biblical references and linked other clues that never stood out that much to me.

this was a great video to wake up to bro nice work.

Another good job filmcomicsexplained

Fun fact the actor who played the dude hiding in the bathroom who missed all the shots; played a demon in Stephen king's They sometimes come back.

You should do a Tarantino vid tying all the characters together threw the movies

I have always thought it was Marsellus Wallace’s soul. I think that the band-aid was definitely intentional, it is the highlight of a new scene. I always did the “what else could it be?” as you did. I agree with you 100%.

Sometimes a work of genius can come from the details you consciously ignore. I think you nailed it in the first few minutes of the video. Tarentino didn’t think too hard about what’s in the briefcase. I doubt he put much thought into at all. The point is how it drives the characters.

Nice vid as always Niyat! Awesome to see youre over 100k subs. Still waiting on those "thing" videos! =^)

I also think the three henchman we saw represented some of the 7 deadly sins. The one at the table is gluttony, the one on the couch is sloth, and the stormtrooper is wrath.

The thing about the scene with the 4th person in the apartment coming out, shooting and missing - is that all the bullet holes are in the wall prior to the shots being fired. He didn’t contribute to any new holes. That tells me his gun contained blanks.

It is NOT Marsellus Wallace's soul. Vincent Vega is a logical man - witness his argument over pigs versus dogs: "So, if a pig had more personality, he'd cease to be a filthy animal..." In the apartment, Vincent opens the case and looks inside. Jules asks (twice), "We happy?" Vincent replies, "We happy." IF Vincent had just gazed upon a disembodied soul, he would not then be so completely dismissive of a miracle; of the involvement of god in making the kid with the hand cannon miss every shot. But he IS dismissive. "It was just coincidence." If you've just seen a disembodied soul, you're at least going to admit the possibility that there are supernatural explanations. Vincent does not even grant the possibility. He utterly rejects it. Therefore, Vincent did NOT see a disembodied soul in the case.

Very good mate. You answer the question of bunch of questions.

My thoughts exactly, love this channel!

The soul theory fits almost perfectly, makes the movie flourish even more

This is why I subscribed! An answer to a question I never knew I wanted an answer to.

One of my all time faves! Thx for the vid :)

Masterful work, once again!

Cool vid bro

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movie and I always wondered what was in the briefcase while watching it.

This is the best! Thank you!!

great video like always! keep it up

I have noticed that the only characters who looked in the case onscreen are Vincent and Ringo. Vincent is clearly blown away by what he saw, and Ringo describes it as "beautiful" like he's seen God as opposed to something worth a lot of money. The same glow is seen when Vincent and Jules shoot Brett down, so I reckon whatever it was, it was something divine that subjected Vincent to a moral test when he opened the case and looked inside, but he failed when he ignored God's sign to quit his life of crime, shot Marvin, picked a fight with Butch, used heroin (hence he was always needing to go to the bathroom), was tempted by Mia and almost killed her because of his addiction. Those things ultimately led to his death. I think the case was a divine object that Marsellus used to test people. Jules was basically leading Vincent to this moral test and he clearly knew what would happen if Ringo looked into it, hence his reluctance to open it. Ringo was basically subjected to the same moral test as Vincent, hence his line "I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd". The three men with the briefcase (not including Marvin) must have looked in the case to know what they're stealing, and they were killed for screwing Marsellus over. Assuming my theory is correct, 4 of the 7 characters killed looked in the briefcase, and 2 of the remaining 3 were killed by Butch, but he got away alive because he never looked in the briefcase, and the other by Vincent (Marvin). Note how both Vincent and Butch accidentally kill someone, but neither show any remorse for it, but Vincent is the one who pays the price because he looked in the case.

I love the theory of the soul, but I've also liked the theory it's the holy grail. It's more likely his soul, but still a neat theory.

Totally agree! Good video

Love that movie and your video. I have heard about this theory before. But your video explained it very nicely and clearly. And its quite possible. Takes the movie to a completely new level.

I really enjoyed this explanation. Could you do a more thorough analysis as to how the suitcase plays a role in each of the different narrative threads?

"Imma get medieval on that ass!" -- the most over used one liner I've borrowed from a movie ever since I first saw it.

Great vid... Spot on

My dude, this is a great interpretation of the plot! Well done

It's a picture of me waving, and smiling with a golden tooth.

Good job..

New to your channel but word around the camp fire was how you said it. Nice work and you didn't take too long to get your point across.

Another awesome video mate

I once read a book that talked about extracting someone’s soul from the base of their neck. Wish I could remember the name. It was well over 20 years ago..🤔

It a light bulb and a NOVACARE that says I AM THE OVERLORD OF THE BOX

I LOVE your theory on this! I never even thought of that! I always thought it was gold. But your theory is so much interesting

Alright i have to admit that your video sent chills down my spine and yes i agree with your idea. There was always that feeling that there was something going on that you just didnt understand in the film

Would Travolta's character really have so much trouble believing in divine intervention if it were a literal soul? It was something recognizable by anyone seeing it, Tim Roth's character recognized it but he wasn't certain if what he was seeing was real. I think that's the greatest clue as to its nature, it's something most people would recognize. The glow might not even be literal, instead perceived due to how it absorbs someone's attention. I always thought it was something like a huge diamond.

You should do a video on what's in "The kit" in Cabin fever, that's always had my curiosity

Bro I always enjoy your vids keep it up 🤘👌👍

Yay u upload

Jeb said don't drop that shit lmao

*Sees FilmComicsExplained vid in notifications* *Expects monster from a movie* *See it's about Pulp Fiction* *Yells*"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *Enjoys*

Great background music you've used. Those frames brought to life much richer.

Great call!!

It’s an infinity stone, hence joules goes on to “walk the earth”, find his place. And does so as Nick Fury. In winter soldier when he “dies”, read the headstone, “the path of the righteous man...”.

why did ringo said “it’s beautiful” when he saw what’s inside the briefcase?!

Oh wow, awesome video. I guess I never took the time to really think about what was in the case.

Good job!

I met Tarantino in a hotel bar about 12 years ago. After a few beers he told me that in the case was in fact a golden egg laid by the goose in Jack & the Beanstalk and the giant was Marcel Wallace who wanted it back.

Such a great film in my opinion

Best explanation I’ve heard yet...

enjoyed the vid :)

Totally agree. Also explains why travoltas char dies in act 2 he didn't take the hint so god withdrew his protection and cast him down with Willis's char

There's nothing more pure than truth. I too subscribe to the soul theory. When people get a look in the case, their heart skips a beat and they are momentarily awestruck. Gold is nice, but I'm not sure it has that same jaw dropping affect. Although, for the sake of context, a single gold bar, 99.5% pure, 12.3 kg (9.7 lb) is worth over $500k in today's market. Even getting screwed with a 50% exchange fee will still get street criminals $250k tax free. A soul is worth more than that...if you believe in that sort of thing.

Hey dud this one was done really good.

I'm not quite sure it's a soul? But I did get the impression of something otherworldly. Great video as always!

Are you a transformers fan? Which origin lore do you prefer more, Primus or Quintesson? Finally what are your thoughts about bayformers

I just noticed this now but when the 4th demon misses all 6 shots and they’re looking each other over, there’s a cross in the top left corner above Vincent’s head, which further indicates that God is watching over them

A great video for an awesome movie. Keep it up

I think you are spot on!

OMG ITS ROGERS GOLDEN POOP.

its just desire, the gold light, he literally said its anything you want it to be, its desire, you even want to make it more interesting, by believing its not, by saying its diamonds, its just a light shown in a film that triggers these feelings, its the soul urge to seek

Perfect analogy

You just made this move make so much damn sense to me after like 50 years! 😂 Now maybe explain Swordfish

Almost impossible to imagine the year Pulp fiction released we also had films like Forest gump and Shawshank redemption. Take me back to the 90s when films were actually films and not over the top mindless super hero flicks.

Been avid watcher of all your videos and when i get a notification when you post a new video i watch asap, thanks for making quality content.. im curious will you stick to films or are not partial to move on to a more diverce range of theroys like anime (dbz etc) or extreamly popular shows like HBO game of thrones. just asking dont take anything here as me wanting to change what you do because you do it best thanks again!

Fuken LOVE This Description... BEAUTIFUL Perfection. I agree Fully.

Whoa man... That was some deep explaining there Mr. FCE Guy... Like it was so deep I sat here for literally 2 hours pondering that. Damn, you changed my entire comprehension of _Pulp Fiction_.

Im going with Tarantino's idea... That its whatever you want it to be.

Hey, I’ve got a suggestion for a future video, it’s a zombie virus from the game Dying Light called the Herran virus

Never gets old,fn love that movie With all my soul! Agree...

Don't drop that shit !!! I always did wonder how you miss so many shots this theory really clears that up for me. Great works as always :D

there is a battery, wires, a switch, and a small conventional light bulb.

It was a Bitcoin trend graph sent from the year 2017 ...

You really did your homework 📚 👏🏻

I have heard that it was Mr. Wallace soul but it never was explained. Thanks great video!

Never seen this movie, I just enjoy your videos. So Ill watch so you can get the view. :)

Alright. Before I watch this I just want to say that when I first saw this in the theater the golden light filled the room. I immediately thought of the the Holy Grail. That's from my point of view obviously. So let's just get on with the video already.

Spot on!!!!

Another good video like always!!! I'm not sure if you've done a video on this already or if you talked about it, but can you make a video talking about the zombies in left 4 dead!?!?
