20 Things You Somehow Missed In Pulp Fiction

There are plenty of things Quentin Tarantino has become known for since his directoral debut with Reservoir Dogs in 1992. One of these many, many things, aside from over-the-top violence, eccentric characters, and shots of bare female feet, is that he has a select few actors that he will continue to work with.
The likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Uma Thurman, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell, and Brad Pitt, among many others, have appeared in more than one movie helmed by the legendary director. This was a trend he began as early as just his second ever movie.
Both Tim Roth (Mr. Orange and Pumpkin) and Harvey Keitel (Mr. White and Mr. Wolf) appeared in both Reservoir Dogs in 1992 and Pulp Fiction in 1994, but they weren’t the only ones. There was also a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from Mr. Pink in Tarantino’s second movie.
