There is a character in that film nicknamed "Steamboat Willie." He is the German soldier that the squad captures and eventually sets free.

Anyway, a surprising number of people I talked too after the film came out thought that Steamboat Willie was the same guy who stabs Mellish (Adam Goldberg) near the end. This isn't true at all...Mellish is stabbed by an SS guy.

Willie does show up at the end...he's the one who kills Captain Miller (Tom Hanks), and he is eventually executed by Upham (Jeremy Davies). I've even talked to people who thought that this was a third character!

For whatever reason, that particular sub-plot was completely lost on a lot of people.

I've met more than two people that don't know whether or not Mr. White killed Mr. Orange at the end.

What the hell is in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? That and what's the deal with the bandage on the back of Marcelus' head? There is a lot of speculation about theset two points, but I don't know anyone who has ever really felt like they understood what was going on.

The fate of Mr. Pink. Did he live or die?

i think he died, we hear gun shots after he walks outside before the cops came in to kill everyone else.

they didnt have sex for the sake of having sex....or even because they were drinking...they had sex because they were both in pain emotionally and they NEEDED each other. The same goes for how Halle DID NOT go nuts after she discovers her ex's drawings....again she/they NEEDED each other so much all the other bullshit went out the door.

did she die at the bottom of the sea at the end or what?

the Mercedes at the end of the ep where Gloria was threatened to stay away from Tony was NOT part of any plot. The commentary by David Chase made NO reference to the Mercedes in the shot and the fact that Gloria killed herself later is further proof that tale of obssesion is over.

But the Mr. Pink DVD set says "The only one who got away" in his biography.

He lived but did not escape the cops. Buddy Holley being a bad waiter might have something to with the fact that he's out on parole and now has to deal with tips

A lot of people dont know that Mr. White shot Nice Guy Eddie

I think it's said on a commentary on the movie that the actor Ving Rhames has a distracting scar on the back of his neck there, and rather than cover it up with make-up they figured it would just be easier to put a band-aid over it. And with the brief-case, Tarantino himself has been unclear about what's in there. I think he just wants us to use our imaginations. The same thing with the name 'Reservoir Dogs'. Tarantino doesn't give a strait answer about what it means. They just 'are' the Reservoir Dogs he says on the easter egg interview on the UK DVD. Also, I don't think a cop killer would get parole any way you look at it. Interesting theory though.

Isn't there a scene after the almost-drowning that shows her playing the piano in a new house with a metallic finger? That would seem to make it clear that she was saved.

Yeah i read something about this w/ soundclips (don't remember from where). But during the credits if you listen very closely you can hear cops yelling for him to get down and then some gunshots
