25 Things You Didn’t Know About Pulp Fiction

In just five minutes, Christopher Walken damn-near stole Pulp Fiction away from the rest of the cast with his incredible monologue to a young Butch (Chandler Lindauer) about the grim efforts made to bequeath his dead father's gold watch to him.

Walken's cameo was not only filmed in a single day, but it took place on the very final day of filming, meaning that Walken wasn't able to hang out with any of his co-stars.

Clearly there was no sign of Friday afternoon syndrome in effect, though, as it's one of the most distinctive and brilliantly acted and directed scenes in the entire movie.
