It's been over 25 years since Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction was unleashed upon the world, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival that May and then releasing throughout the rest of the world during the autumn.

Unquestionably one of the most influential and iconic films of all time, its success led to a conveyor-belt of knock-offs - some good, many bad - through the remainder of the 90s and beyond.
