    The cream of the crop of quirky crime thrillers RELEASED IN 1994 and written & directed by Quentin Tarantino, "Pulp Fiction" is a drama/thriller/black comedy about two hit men in Los Angeles (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson), their mob boss & his wife (Ving Rhames and Uma Thurman) and a champion boxer who incurs the wrath of the boss (Bruce Willis). The lurid, droll tale is told in a non-linear fashion, but it's …

    Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 176 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method

Critics, per Wikipedia

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 92% of 185 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 9.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Injecting its compendium of crime tales with the patois of everyday conversation, Pulp Fiction is a cinematic shot of adrenaline that cements writer-director Quentin Tarantino as an audacious purveyor of killer kino." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 95 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale. The response of major American film reviewers was widely favorable. Roger Ebert called it "a comedy about…

    And in "Pulp Fiction," the fact the character is riffing on a Sonny Chiba movie and *thinks* he's quoting the bible serves as a hint that he's a sanctimonious fool. What does that make somebody who, in turn, quotes a Tarantino character quoting Sonny Chiba?

    When the "war" Secretary reads a pseudo bible verse adapted from a movie like Pulp Fiction, we're all in deep shit together, because that means the Secretary of Defense, who drops bombs on a foreign country, is not a serious person and models himself after characters in action movies.

    The prayer in Pulp Fiction isn't from Ezekiel, but instead from a 1976 Sonny Chiba movie, "Karate Kiba." Only the last line is in the old testament. So, this is about as accurate as their citation of "just war theory"
