But Really, What’s in the Briefcase?
One of the greatest mysteries of our time is what the heck was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. There are so many internet theories circulating out there, but there are two that seem the most likely. Some say the briefcase contains the diamonds from Tarantino’s debut film Reservoir Dogs (1992). Others think it holds Marcellus Wallace’s soul.
The Marcellus Wallace theory has believers because Marcellus has a band-aid on the back of his head in the same location where the devil infamously removes people’s souls. In reality, actor Ving Rhames is wearing that band-aid because he cut himself while shaving his head! Nothing like an everyday occurrence to start famous Tarantino lore.
