Pulp Fiction

Vincent Vega

 Played By: John Travolta (Creator)

Jules Winnfield
Played By: Samuel L. Jackson
—"If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions."

Mia Wallace
Played By: Uma Thurman
—"Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?"

Butch Coolidge
Played By: Bruce Willis (Creator)
—"That's how you're gonna beat 'em, Butch. They keep underestimating you."
  • Anti-Hero: Type III.
  • Badass
  • Bald of Awesome
  • Honor Before Reason
  • Jobber: Subverting this is what got him in trouble with Marsellus.
  • Meaningful Name: I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean shit.
  • Token Good Teammate: The only unambiguously good character working for Marsellus, or in the movie's cast (with the possible exception of Jules post character development). His only crime was ripping off a mob boss who he later saves even though it would be in his best interest not to.
    • He also beat a presumably innocent man to death in a boxing match, though that was an accident. Still, he never showed any remorse for it, dismissing it with a shrug and a quip.

Winston Wolf
Played By: Harvey Keitel
—"I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this."

Ringo AKA Pumpkin
Played By: Tim Roth
—"Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun."

Yolanda AKA Honey Bunny

 Played By: Amanda Plummer

  • Ax Crazy: Compared to Ringo. She's ready to blow people's heads off.
    • Alternate Character Interpretation: Since she and Pumpkin agree at the beginning they don't want to kill anyone, it's her act during the robbery to scare people into compliance. Note how, when Jules gets the drop on Ringo, she's panicky, crying, terrified and clearly out of her depth -- but despite apparently being utterly unstable and psychotic moments before, never pulls the trigger.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: When she's not waving a gun around psychotically screaming at people during a robbery, she seems quite bubbly, friendly and almost sweet.
  • Lady Swears A Lot
  • Nice to the Waiter: She's very pleasant to the waitress who serves her and 'Pumpkin' coffee in the diner. Then they hold the place up.
  • Outlaw Couple
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: With Ringo.

Fabienne

 Played By: Maria de Madeiros

Marsellus Wallace
Played By: Ving Rhames
—"Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

Captain Koons

 Played By: Christopher Walken

Lance

 Played By: Eric Stoltz

Jody

 Played By: Rosanna Arquette

Marvin

 Played By: Phil LaMarr

Jimmy

 Played By: Quentin Tarantino
