Usually when working on a HISHE short we find ourselves very much deep inside the belly of whatever short we are spoofing. You analyze everything. Talk about every scene. Pay extra attention to details. You really feel like you "get" a film way more than when you started, despite the direction we go with our parody. This is what I learned while focusing on Pulp Fiction: It is next to impossible to make a HISHE on! Everything in that movie is covered. Conflict, Resolution, Comedy, Violence, everything gets taken care of. Not only that, the story is told out of order, which makes it even more challenging in terms of "alternate endings" The real story ends with Butch, but Butch's story is in the middle, and the real movie ends with the cafe, which is where the movie starts...aaaaaaagh brain hurt.

So in terms of flaws (besides things like bullet holes in the background before gun shots are fired) The biggest issue we had was Butch being so careless with his watch. We are told the backstory of the watch and how precious it is, and after seeing him flip out and basically show his abusive side when finding out his watch didn't make the trip to the motel, you would think maybe he would carry that watch with him or at the least pack it himself. You save the watch, Butch leaves the country, Vincent Vega is still alive, Marcelles Wallace doesn't get hit by a car then raped... so... happy ending? Probably not, Wallace would probably still come after Butch, but given how easily he took out Vincent I seriously don't worry for Butch's safety.

So if you want to line up our "logic" issues of the film it would be 1. you shouldn't just take and do random drugs from someones pocket, bad things can happen. 2. If a watch is that important to you, don't just expect someone to carry it around for you. 3. Divine Intervention kind of only worked out for Jules. and 4. Hero factor line in the cafe was just asking for superman and batman. :)

Artwork on this one was by the one and only Otis Frampton. His backgrounds on this one are amazing! I appreciate his eagerness and hard work.

Voices are Brock Baker, Stephanie Fisher, Adrian Neely (who all nailed it as far as I'm concerned) and myself (who I am probably my worst critic so I always hate my voice tracks:)

This was for sure a tough short to get through, but I think everyone did a fantastic job given the complexity of such a well designed movie. I hope you guys liked it.

I was excited when I saw you would be doing this but my reaction was also: "What?!  How?!"  Well, that's how.  Beautiful. 
I expected to see Hulk maybe reading in the bathroom stall at the end and having an encounter in there (the bathroom.  Not the stall.) with Tim Roth, maybe even surrounded by a bunch of State troupers a la Reservoir Dogs, But that's a litte out there i guess.
I can't believe what absolute genius this was.  Exciting new territory as far as other potential HISHEs.  You continually amaze me.  The Eric Stoltz impression is sweet, too.  Thanks.

I wasn't sure when and how the next cafe scene was gonna come into a short. but This was a complete surprise.
Just one word. AWESOME!!!

In the 'making of pulp fiction' the artist is working on a car... but it doesn't appear in the 'pulp fiction' HISHE?
