‘Pulp Fiction’ is undoubtedly a classic (and you can probably say that these days, considering it came out about 22 years ago) but given the subject matter contained within it, it’s still a surprise that the film managed to pass through the BBFC uncut. Many other countries cut heavy chunks of it out, particularly scenes involving drug abuse, which was way more of a taboo subject at the time.
This document now reveals how it scored on each of the categories designated for review of a film’s content, and also reveals the reviewer’s comments. These are the reasons it decided to pass uncut – seems like the reviewer was a fan of the movie and felt like it deserved to be shown in its full glory so that Tarantino’s vision could be shared. Fair play:
A brave decision from everyone at the BBFC, but an especially good one as we all know how awesome ‘Pulp Fiction’ is, although I have to admit I think the first time I saw it, I didn’t even really realise Vincent was high at the wheel when he was driving. I guess I was probably about 12 though so that’s understandable.
It’s pretty interesting that every film has to go through this kind of process with such a high level of detail in the reports – you can imagine that everyone at the BBFC are just film studies students whose careers didn’t take off. Still, I’d love to read some of the reports on movies that got banned or just about made it through like Kids or The Human Centipede.
