#PULP FICTION GIMP SCENE MOVIE#
The film: A film that needs no introduction, PULP FICTION is the movie that cemented Quentin Tarantino’s reputation as the enfant terrible of ‘90s American cinema, winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1994 and an Oscar for best original screenplay whilst causing outrage and admiration in equal measure for its daring structure, unabashed violence and inventive reimagining of the crime drama. It might be a deleted scene which is outstanding in its own right but wasn’t quite in-sync or critical to the final cut of the film. It might be a scene from a classic movie, which has been crowded out by other, more “showy” scenes and set-pieces.

If that wasn't horrific enough, Tarantino is also suggesting that the man is actually dead in the scene, meaning he died just as he was about to taste freedom.In our “ Unheralded Scene” series, our consultants nominate a classic film or TV scene, which in their view hasn’t received the admiration it deserves. Apparently, these guys have been holding this poor fellow captive in bondage gear for nearly a decade, warping his brain into complete submission for his captors. Going by Tarantino's explanation, the Gimp may not have actually been a willing partner in the sexual shenanigans of gun shop owner Maynard (Duane Whitaker) and perverted security guard Zed (Peter Greene) - or, at least, things didn't start that way.
In terms of backstory, he was like a hitchhiker or somebody that they picked up seven years ago, and they trained him so he's the perfect victim."
Butch knocked him out and then when he passed out he hung himself. "It doesn't quite play this way in the movie, but in my mind when I wrote it, the Gimp's dead. As it turns out, the answers to both of these questions are pretty depressing, as Tarantino says he always saw the Gimp as a subservient kidnapping victim who actually dies during his Pulp Fiction scene.
Seeing an opportunity to find out more about the character, one Pulp Fiction fan directly asked Tarantino to explain the Gimp's backstory as well as "what happens to him" after Butch leaves the building. In an interview with Empire earlier this month, Tarantino fielded a variety of questions from fans. That would be the last we'd ever see of the Gimp in Tarantino's movie universe, but all of these years later, Tarantino is finally filling in the blanks on this bizarre character's story. In response, Butch slugs the Gimp in the face, seemingly knocking the man unconscious to swing freely from his ropes.

Using his strength as a professional boxer, Butch escapes from his restraints, prompting the Gimp to cry out from behind his zipped mask. The duo proceed to sexually assault Marcellus, leaving another man clad entirely in leather bondage gear to keep watch over a tied-up Butch.
In the movie, Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) chases Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) into a gun shop where the two are taken captive by the owner and a friend. For the latter, that particular mystery has finally been solved as Tarantino has offered his storyline explanation for who this guy really is, as well as what ultimately became of him after his controversial scene. Many continue to wonder what exactly was inside Marcellus Wallace's briefcase, while others are curious what the real story was with the man known as the Gimp. Pulp Fiction was released back in 1994, but fans still talk about the many unsolved mysteries left behind by the legendary movie.
