Pulp Fiction, a 1994 film directed by Quentin Tarantino
- Pulp Fiction (soundtrack), the soundtrack album from the film
Music from the Motion Picture Pulp Fiction is the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction. No traditional film score was commissioned for Pulp Fiction. The film contains a mix of American rock and roll, surf music, pop and soul. The soundtrack is equally untraditional, consisting of nine songs from the movie, four tracks of dialogue snippets followed by a song, and three tracks of dialogue alone. Seven songs featured in the movie were not included in the original 41-minute soundtrack.
The album reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200, while Urge Overkill's cover of the Neil Diamond song " Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" peaked at No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Pulp Fiction is the name given to a number of works by stencil graffiti artist Banksy. They depict the characters played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, with their guns replaced by bananas. A stencil graffiti work existed on a wall near the Old Street tube station in the City of London from 2002 to 2007. Prints of the image on its original site have been sold for £1,000. A print of the Pulp Fiction stencil was sold for £10,600 in 2012.
