“You won’t know the facts until you’ve seen the fiction.”

There is no doubting the influence and impact of Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece “Pulp Fiction” and like so many of the Tarantino films the paper from each has become hugely collectable, but it is the posters from “Pulp Fiction” that are easily the most popular and valuable. The German A1 movie poster offered here is no exception. This full ‘cast’ version (the only film poster to do so) is truly striking and features all four main cast members; Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta & Bruce Willis . A very cool looking image, this is a fantastic original poster for Quentin Tarantino’s most celebrated film to date. Originally rolled (as issued) this totally unrestored example presents and displays to excellent effect without a blemish of note and represents a fantastic piece of movie memorabilia from a truly iconic movie…“I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.”

Film Description

Pulp Fiction Movie Poster

“Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are two hit men who are out to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss Marsellus Wallace. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his wife Mia out a few days later when Wallace himself will be out of town. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his fight. The lives of these seemingly unrelated people are woven together comprising of a series of funny, bizarre and uncalled-for incidents.”

If you think “Pulp Fiction“ is brilliant, you’re wrong. It’s more than that. It’s a milestone in the history of film making. It’s already a classic. But why? Because of the many “f” words, or maybe because of the brain and skull pieces on the rear window of a car? No, that’s surely not the point (unfortunately some other users – fortunately the minority – don’t get it). Quentin Tarantino has made a movie that’s someway different from many other action, gangster or crime movies. What’s so different? He knows the subject of the movie is “cool”, he knows it’s a product of mass culture, and he even likes it by himself. But he smiles at it and tells three great stories with a lot of irony. And this irony is the first point. The second point is that he gave souls to extremely schematic characters. They surely aren’t another action heroes who you forget as fast as you can twinkle. They are human beings like we are, talking about Burger King and McDonalds, about TV series and a foot massage. They just earn their money with killing others or selling drugs. What else is so great about “Pulp Fiction“ ? It’s the acting, the directing, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the sense of humour and the whole rest. In my opinion it’s a masterpiece.

Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970's on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as "international" versions to be used abroad.
