One of Pulp Fiction’s most suspenseful segments is the one starring Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) and Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), and a theory explains why, after everything that happened between them, Butch ended up saving Marsellus. Quentin Tarantino’s big break arrived in 1994 with Pulp Fiction, a crime movie that stood out for being told in a non-linear style. Pulp Fiction is widely considered Tarantino’s masterpiece, and it has been the subject of countless analyzes and has made way for a variety of theories.

Pulp Fiction is divided into segments, each one starring a different group of characters, who at one point cross paths: hitmen Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (Travolta), their boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), his wife Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), and boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis). Marsellus and Butch star in the segment titled “The Gold Watch”, which includes one of the movie's most shocking scenes.
