It's no secret that Tarantino films have within them their own shared universe; that the coked-out movie producer in True Romance is a relative of The Bear Jew in Inglorious Basterds and Vincent Vega is Mr. Blonde's brother. But even with a property that isn't entirely his own, Tarantino managed to further develop his little in-joke that keeps threatening to spill out into a full-fledged film (see: a failed Vega brothers movie).

Jackie's white 1980 Honda Civic is the very same care that Butch (Bruce Willis) used to knock down Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) in Pulp Fiction. Given the damage done to the car in that film, it's a wonder it was in working order for its next appearance.
