    Just read this in the Wikipedia entry. Fuck me, some critics really do disappear up their own arses don't they?!

    In the Brookers' analysis, "Through Vince...we see the contemporary world as utterly contingent, transformed, disastrously, in the instant you are not looking."[193] Fraiman finds it particularly significant that Vincent is reading Modesty Blaise in two of these instances. She links this fact with the traditional derisive view of women as "the archetypal consumers of pulp":Locating popular fiction in the bathroom, Tarantino reinforces its association with shit, already suggested by the dictionary meanings of "pulp" that preface the movie: moist, shapeless matter; also, lurid stories on cheap paper. What we have then is a series of damaging associations—pulp, women, shit—that taint not only male producers of mass-market fiction but also male consumers. Perched on the toilet with his book, Vincent is feminized by sitting instead of standing as well as by his trashy tastes; preoccupied by the anal, he is implicitly infantilized and homosexualized; and the seemingly inevitable result is being pulverized by Butch with a Czech M61 submachine gun. That this fate has to do with Vincent's reading habits is strongly suggested by a slow tilt from the book on the floor directly up to the corpse spilled into the tub.[194]

    Yes you did Brett, yes you did. And Marcellus Wallace doesn't like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs Wallace.

    Tried to get an ex to watch it. She couldn't understand it as it's shown out of sync. Spent the next hour explaining it to her, and she still didn't enjoy it.

    It is great film , but not a classic in the strictest sense and not for the fainthearted.

    as for the original question................I thought it was gold (or a gold bar/ingot) because of the way it glowed when the case was opened.

    It was drugs. Read the scripts a few years back and the directors note mentions a briefcase full of heroin.

    Vincent is a junkie hence his reaction.

    Modern masterpiece. Just gets better every time you see it. The only very minor thing that wrankles with me is when Vincent is taking Mia Wallace out for their dinner date and they're still in the car and she says "Come on Vincent, don't be a..." and then draws a rectangle with her fingers! lol  

    "Ketchup"

    The briefcase is supposed to hold the diamonds that were stolen in reservoir dogs. Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction is the brother of Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, so the two "worlds" are connected. Although Tarantino has said that it was more of a McGuffin and he never really understood people's fascination with what was inside the briefcase. Definatley a modern masterpiece, inspiring Guy Ritchie, Robert Rodriguez, Kevin Smith and other notable filmmakers no end.

    When I was 15 i borrowed the dvd off a friend, ripped it onto my laptop and literally watched it everyday for about a year. I think I can quote the film from start to finish.
