I really doubt the Vega Brothers will ever happen.

Travolta and Madsen are too damned old to play younger versions of themselves.

I have heard this numerous times and IMO, that's just a retarded, stupid, cop-out of an interpretation. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Where else in this movie can you find something that would require this much suspension of disbelief? Everything in this movie is extremely plausible. So don't give me that soul bullshite.

Yeah the soul thing is just stupid. The whole movie seems to be firmly planted in a realistic universe. Why would some white boys have his soul? Why would he give them his soul?

I don't think Quentin has a clue. I think he put that in there just to frick with people.

The mystery was because they just couldn't come up with something worthy of the hoopla. It was originally a case of diamonds, but it was decided to be too mundane.


FWIW.

That was debatable.

The kid could have just been a stormtrooper in a past life.

I didn't say I came up with it, just said that's what most people would say. To me it's just a McGuffin.

Real answer: its a McGuffin. It doesn't matter.

My answer: I like the idea it is either Marcellus' soul or the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs. There's lots of references to Dogs, and I think it was originally intended to be the same diamonds.
