In perfect understanding of Tarantino’s entirely cinema-based existence, there’s one theory that suggests that dwelling deep inside the suitcase, glittering away intently, shocking enough to draw a ‘is that what I think it is?’ from Pumpkin, is the one and only gold lamé Elvis suit. Not only worn by the king himself for performances, but previously featured in his very own screenplay that became True Romance.

It’s a nod to pop culture as well as a nod to pop culture within pop culture that would surely get Tarantino all hot, sweaty and pulling at his crotch, and distinctly matches the shimmering gold of the opened case that we’re witness to multiple times. It also fits that Marsellus Wallace would be invested in the piece of retro history for his wife, Mia Wallace, as she frequently visits the '50s themed bar in town.
