00:01Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino's most renowned movies, but do you know how he captured the gnarly
00:07scene with the syringe into the heart? As Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace lays in a comatose state
00:13after overdosing on heroin, John Travolta's Vincent Vega asks for a big fat magic marker
00:18to mark the point of entry for a shot of adrenaline into the heart. The scene sees
00:23Vega lift his arm high in a stabbing motion before plunging the needle into her chest.
00:28However, as reported by Slash Film and Far Out magazine, the scene was actually shot in reverse,
00:35with Travolta starting with the needle close to Thurman's chest and rapidly pulling it high up
00:39and away from her. Tarantino had the scene reversed in the edit to create the appearance of stabbing
00:45downward in the final shot. The scenes were also clearly shot out of order, as the red mark Vega
00:50applies to Wallace's chest for the point of entry can no longer be seen after she rises up following
00:56her shot of adrenaline, but it's still an incredible scene.
