'The 'Pulp Fiction' syringe has been injected in our culture. People are still talking about it.'
Bryan AlexanderOne scene stands alone in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film"Pulp Fiction" for pure heart-stopping shock – when Uma Thurman's dying Mia is revived from a heroin overdose by her bodyguard chaperone Vincent and drug-dealer Lance . Vincent plunges a hypodermic needle of adrenaline into Mia's heart and jolts her screaming violently back to life.
The scene's power was enhanced by casting Hollywood stars to play the complicated but impossible not to love characters. Travolta's hitman had just returned from twisting brilliantly during a dance competition with his charge for the evening, his crime-boss' girlfriend.
At the movie's New York Film Festival premiere, one viewer was so shocked by the moment that he fainted, forcing the screening to be halted. But across the nation, moviegoers experienced the hair-raising moment for themselves. Bailey says Tarantino, who devoured films while working at Video Archives video rental store, was likely inspired by the 1978 Martin Scorsese documentary "American Boy," in which Steven Prince tells his street story of bringing a woman back to life with the drastic method."It’s unmistakable that this is the source, Steven Prince even does the same hand motion," Bailey says.
