interesting bit of trivia about Pulp Fiction

[TMF Jeff]

For one reason or another I was recently looking for Kathy Griffin on imdb.com, and I noticed that she is listed as playing "herself" in the movie Pulp Fiction. For the life of me I couldn't remember even seeing her in the movie, never mind appearing as Kathy Griffin in some capacity. So I was watching it tonight specifically to find her and I finally did.

It's in the scene where Bruce Willis rams his car into Ving Rhames. When Rhames comes to there's a crowd around him, and Kathy Griffin is the one who says something about how that crazy guy came out of nowhere and if Rhames needs a witness, she'll be one.

Combined with the way her credit is listed, I think the story must be that among this crowd of innocent bystanders who witnessed the "accident", just happened to be semi-celebrity comedienne Kathy Griffin. On imdb she's listed right between "gawker #1" and "pedestrian"

I wonder if that's how Tarantino wrote the original scene, like "Marsellus wakes up surrounded by a ring of concerned faces. Then Kathy Griffin says..."

Cool find! I hadn't caught it. Kinda surprises me - I would have thought I'd have picked up on it.

Why was Emil Sitka credited for "Hold hands you two lovebirds" you think?

I was on the IMDB for Minority Report, and saw that Cameron Diaz and her then boyfriend were somewhere in the train scene. I was all 'huh'? , but when I watched the scene over again, sho nuff it looks like Cameron's hairdo popping up over one of the seats way in the back. Kind of a sneaky little cameo.

And in Red Dragon, the guy cleaning Hannibal Lector's cell was DJ Run from Run-DMC! Cameos are such fun.
