Where did you guys get the outfit? I assume fittings were involved … There were. They rented all the gear from the Pleasure Chest, so that was a big deal, but I did not go to the Pleasure Chest myself!
Were you au naturel underneath? I had a T-shirt underneath it, and that was it. Oh, they did pad me up a little bit, too. Quentin wanted me to be a little flabbier, so I also wore a fat-suit tummy as well. And I wore underwear. And it was pretty warm. A lot of the interiors were in a warehouse in Culver City, and it was a tiny set. Because of the rape sequence, there were very few people on the set that day.
And it was very dark and hot. We knew it was a crazy, creepy scene. With the heat and the leather, there must have been some chafing.
Oh, yeah! Whoever makes those outfits, mission accomplished! The other actors in the scene were very aware of it.
Do you remember who said that? It was Bruce Willis! I have a very vivid memory of him saying that. We got a poor guy in a head-to-toe leather outfit here. Bruce Willis was a lovely guy. And because everyone was kind of on equal footing on that movie, in terms of pay, it was an ensemble piece.
I think his assistant was making everyone gin-and-tonics — apparently one of the requirements of the job! You probably could have used one before the day started, or during the breaks. For a little liquid courage, yeah! Maybe you do in one or two shots. So I sort of stayed in character, but quiet and still, in between takes. The Gimp seems to live in a little box. Apparently, there was some weird history before the Gimp. Before I make my entrance, I was crouched up in there for about five minutes while the dialogue goes on, before I come out on a leash to where the prisoners are being held.
That went away a long time ago. Not just all sense of self-worth, but all sense of self. Do you remember any direction Quentin gave you? He gave me very little, actually. And he darts around the room a bit. Which I think is a really cool thing to do. Just talk to the person and have a private conversation. If you had talked, would we have been able to discern what you were saying? Probably not. I made noises with my tongue flat against the bottom of my mouth, so there was a sense of there being no tongue movement to help formulate words or sounds.
I decided to do a weird dance and act all creepy towards Bruce Willis, and Quentin liked those things. I was just hanging there and just trying to play dead. But I had a harness on that helped me stay in place. That was the easiest part of the whole thing. I was hanging for a couple of hours at the most, being put into place and hanging there and the action happens. And Bruce hugged me afterwards to make sure I was okay. Had you ever played anyone in a mask before or since?
Quentin could have had you pop up in a mask in every film since. Sort of like an Alfred Hitchcock thing? Our lives went off in different directions. It would be [as if] this happened last week, not 20 years ago.
The edited-for-TV version leaves out the Gimp scene. I know! But much more violent stuff is shown in that broadcast version. I think the hypodermic into the chest, which is much more disturbing, is in the broadcast version. I mean, I can understand the rape thing being cut out.
He wordlessly grabs a claw hammer, then upgrades to a baseball bat, followed by a chainsaw. Check it out here , starting around Then Butch spots the appropriate weapon of honor and vengeance: a samurai sword. The track he actually planned to use? I thought, oh, God, this is just too funny not to use.
Butch then faces down Zed who, in his security guard uniform, is the closest thing we see to law enforcement in all of Pulp Fiction , daring him to reach for his gun.
We see a figure standing behind Butch and hear a shotgun being cocked. Butch does, and Marsellus then blasts his rapist in the groin. Let me tell you what now. Then he makes a bond with this other character and they become a team. Circumstances make them a couple. Gotta bit of a situation. Newswire Powered by. Close the menu.
