It's of course no secret that Pulp Fiction's terrific finale circles back to the movie's opening scene, where Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) are robbing a diner, but did you know that Tarantino actually hints at such during the iconic opening itself?

While Pumpkin is talking about how much more sense it makes to rob a diner rather than a bank, you can faintly hear Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) having his famous "moment of clarity" dialogue in the background, and a few seconds later, Vincent (John Travolta) can be seen walking to the toilet on Honey Bunny's left.

Better still, the timing between the two versions of the scene matches up perfectly down to the very second. In a movie that already must've been an editing nightmare, this is insanely impressive.
