When “Pulp Fiction” was on its means down the manufacturing pipeline, Quentin Tarantino had solely directed one different full-length characteristic: “Reservoir Canine” from 1992. The characteristic facilities on a gaggle of thieves who plan and execute a heist, just for the entire plan to crumble and for mistrust to overhaul them. The solid is completely stacked, with names like Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, and Tim Roth in distinguished roles. Proper alongside them is Michael Madsen as Vic Vega, aka Mr. Blonde, who almost grew to become Vincent Vega solely a few years later.
Within the documentary “QT8: The First Eight,” which is devoted to Tarantino’s first eight movies, Madsen defined that he was first provided the Vega function in “Pulp Fiction.” Sadly, scheduling points prevented him from starring. “I used to be already dedicated to ‘Wyatt Earp.’ And now, here is Quentin, needs me to do ‘Pulp Fiction.’ They usually have been each going on the identical time,” he stated (through Leisure Weekly). Thus, he had no alternative however to show the half down. Vic and Vincent have been revealed to be brothers, and a spin-off centered on the 2 was long-rumored however by no means got here to fruition.
Ultimately, John Travolta’s failing profession was saved by “Pulp Fiction,” extending his time within the Hollywood highlight. As for Madsen, he was capable of tackle roles in different Quentin Tarantino productions after “Pulp Fiction,” these being each “Kill Invoice” motion pictures, “The Hateful Eight,” and Tarantino’s self-proclaimed finest film, “As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood.” So, it is honest to say each have achieved effectively for themselves all these years later.
