Mr Pink lives, and is the only one to survive. It says so on the Mr. Pink cover of the special edition dvd (and yes, i wanted Mr. Pink!)

"It should be no surprise that he's the only one to survive the ordeal, though he does not escape justice"

He lost weight for his role in the upcoming film General's Daughter sequel, Basic. They made a big deal of how he got a trainer and he went on talk shows showing off his paunchy 6-pack. He wasn't as trim as in the 70s, but definitely more fit than his look in Michael.

GREAT ANSWER

I will see it, if/when it ever gets made. Sounds like it could be great. That is one of the best characters to come out in movies in years. Why wouldn't people want to see more of him? To old? I think not with hair dye and make-up anyone can look older and younger...

Never thought of that.

"Vic and Vince Vega - The Early Years"
starring Michael Madsen and John Travolta
no, Travolta & Madsen
wait...

Both actors will undergo face-lifts (or face/offs) for the new film.

Here's another piece of news, albeit an old one from imdb.com:

Tarantino to Bring Back the Vega Brothers?

Quentin Tarantino is planning to unite two characters from his two biggest films in a spectacular new movie. The director wants to combine Vincent Vega - played by John Travolta - and Vic Vega - Michael Madsen's character in Reservoir Dogs - for a prequel to both films, called The Vega Brothers. A Hollywood source says, "Expect the charm to come from Travolta and the crazy stuff from Madsen. It will follow the pair's exploits around a club they own, set in the late eighties." According to insiders Tarantino - who is working on current project Kill Bill - hopes to finish writing The Vega Brothers early next year, ready for a summer shoot.

It's arrogant to assume that all of the "charm" is coming from Travolta... in fact, I found Vic Vega to be a lot more charming than Vincent, despite his psychotic (Lee Marvinesque?) tendencies.

I always expected a movie about Jules Winfield roaming the earth helping people get out of jams.

I'd be first in line for that movie.

Wasn't Mr. Pink stuffed into a woodchipper?

Sorry, wrong universe!

Honk!

Man, so much negative opinions towards prequels, sequels, and remakes.

If you read the article Tarantino just said it wasn't going to be a prequel, it's going to be a different kind of movie.

I think it sounds quite interesting.

What's the deal with Inglorious Bastards? Where does that fit into all of this?

Wasn't Tarantino going to shoot this and Kill Bill back to back?

Given the fact that the KB went over budget & took longer to shoot than planned and Tarantino's track record of a movie every 3-4 years (avg), I don't think we'll see this until 2005 at the earliest.

That being said, Kill Bill is going to rock the house!

I remember reading about this in those factoids on the Pulp Fiction DVD.

Plus, I don't get all of these 'don't tamper with Pulp Fiction' replies, as it would feature characters from both films Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

Anyway, it sounds interesting.

I think it would be great. People need to realize Pulp Fiction is Tarantinos movie, not yours. If he wants to replace Sam and John with Ewoks and turn the briefcase into a walkie talkie, he can. Its his movie.

Jackie Brown most certainainly takes place in Tarantino's world. It was an adaptation of and Elmore Leonard novel with a lot of changes in terms of setting and the characters themselves. However its all Tarantino's. "Inspired by Leonard's Rum Punch" may be a better way to put it.
