They embark on a quest to return a valuable item to their leader, in a parallel to the King Arthur story. Thanks to Phil LaMarr, who played Marvin in the film, the truth about what was actually inside the briefcase has been revealed. It was nothing fancy, as Tarantino has claimed the case holds whatever the viewer desires.
Of course, it's possible the briefcase doesn't house anything particularly noteworthy or valuable. In fact, this is more than just a fan theory, as director Quentin Tarantino has added weight to this claim himself.
He has previously spoken about the idea that the contents of the case are unremarkable and the case is simply acting as a plot device to drive the story forward and give the characters something on which to concentrate.
This is likely a tribute to the MacGuffins often used by Alfred Hitchcock in his movies. This particular fan theory from a former Redditor argues that the briefcase is actually filled with an illicit substance. Specifically, the case likely contains a large amount of smack. Evidence for this assertion comes from the fact that Jules and Vincent take the case back from a group of young men who were clearly meant to have it.
This could mean they were dealers who were unable to sell the product, leading Marsellus to send men to recover it.
If it is filled with powdery substance, it might explain why Vincent and other likely users namely, Pumpkin find the briefcase so alluring. They see the personal value of the contents while Jules isn't as interested since he doesn't partake. The theory states that the briefcase contain illicit pictures of Mia Wallace. This would help explain why Marsellus is so keen to get the case back.
After all, he threw someone off a roof for allegedly giving his wife a foot massage. According to one theory, the briefcase holds the items that distinguish the Antichrist. In the bible, these are said to be a gold crown and bow. Marsellus believes himself to be the Antichrist, and regardless of whether he forged the items himself, he seems very intent on their safe return.
This is why he sends his most trusted servants to gather them. The fact that everyone is seemingly in awe of the contents supports this claim - though that logic applies to almost every theory. There are a few pieces of supporting evidence for this idea. Snopes has an example of this theory:. Remember the first time you were introduced to Marsellus Wallace.
The first shot of him was of the back of his head, complete with band-aid. Then, remember the combination of the lock on the briefcase was Then, remember that whenever anyone opened the briefcase, it glowed, and they were in amazement at how beautiful it was; they were speechless.
Now, bring in some Bible knowledge, and remember that when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head. Yep, you guessed it. What is the most beautiful thing about a person: his soul. Marsellus Wallace had sold his soul to the devil, and was trying to buy it back. The three kids in the beginning of the movie were the devil's helpers. And remember that when the kid at the end came out of the bathroom with a "hand cannon," Jules and Vincent were not harmed by the bullets.
It was divine intervention. In a interview with Playboy, Samuel L. Jackson explained how he asked Tarantino what was in the suitcase and got the reply, "Whatever you want it to be. Every time Vincent Vega goes to the bathroom , something terrible happens. When Vega spends a long time psyching himself up at Mia Wallace's house, she overdoses on his heroin. At the diner, if he hadn't been reading "Modesty Blaise" in the bathroom, he probably wouldn't have let Jules Winnfield talk calmly with the robbers.
Once again, if he wasn't reading "Modesty Blaise" at Butch Coolidge's house, he would have been ready to kill the boxer on the run. It wasn't just that whenever he'd go to the bathroom, something bad would happen, Vega also took way longer than a normal person every time. Starting to read a book in the middle of hanging out with Winnfield is sort of rude.
Why did he cherish his bathroom time so much? On top of Vega's bathroom habits, other characters in the movie really could have benefitted from hurrying up a little.
The assailant from Brett's apartment would have been in the room to begin with if he hadn't taken so long in the bathroom, which could have led to both his and Marvin's survival. Slightly more of a stretch as nothing changes at the diner due to her action, but Wallace, too, could have spent less time in the bathroom and not done cocaine, which led to an eventual overdose.
