What was in marcellus wallace suitcase

The next theory was that it was diamonds. This theory, believe it or not, is the most logical one. In 'Reservoir Dogs', the robbery centres around a consignment of diamonds that were stolen from a jewellery shop. In the early stages of writing the screenplay, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary had intended the briefcase to contain the diamonds from 'Reservoir Dogs', thus furthering another theory that all of Tarantino's films are set in the same universe.

However, this idea was quickly dismissed as being "too predictable" and instead preferred to leave the answer open-ended. The other theory, which sort of relates to the diamonds theory, is that it's Elvis' gold suit from 'True Romance'. The film features a scene where Christian Slater's character is visited by an apparition of Elvis, who wears a gold blazer. Again, that also ties it into the theory that all of Tarantino's films are connected together - even if 'True Romance' wasn't directed by him.

However, this doesn't hold much water as that mention of Elvis was in reference to a deleted scene where she and Vincent talked about the difference between The Beatles and Elvis. Another theory still is that the briefcase contains - get this - an Oscar. This might be a little bit more tongue-in-cheek, but the idea is that Marcellus Wallace stole the Oscar for his failed actress wife, Mia Wallace.

Furthermore, the Oscar is for Quentin Tarantino's efforts. This theory, we'd add, is a joke that circulated when the film was originally released and gathered a bit of steam in later years. Again, for what it's worth, all of these theories are essentially bunk.

There have been many other theories on what is contained in the mysterious briefcase. A contest run by the Toronto Star to decide the contents produced several popular answers:.

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. Before executing Brett in his apartment, Jules Winnfield says he's memorized a passage from Ezekiel and says:.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

This isn't how the Bible passage actually goes in real life in any translation as it's pulled from the intro of a Sonny Chiba movie called "The Bodyguard. But what if in Tarantino's universe, the Bible was actually more hyper-violent. As Reddit user ProfessorStephenHawk points out , "If the Bible had been translated in this way, it would mean a world where more emphasis is placed on 'striking down' evil men. Even saying those who do so are blessed. That kind of change in text would have some consequences, ie.

The ultra-violence in Tarantino movies would certainly make a lot more sense if Jesus was more of a Django-esque character in the Bible. Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield are attempting to collect Marsellus Wallace's suitcase from Brett's apartment when a surprise assailant jumps out and tried to shoot them with a gun.
