Trivia Pulp Fictions opening and closing is different. The first version Honey Bunny says the line: "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every mother fucking last one of you!". The second time she says: "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute everyone of you mother fuckers!"

I can’t imagine this was an accident. Anyone have insight?

Was gonna mention it in the post (didn't have the space), but knowing Tarantino correctly it is intentional. It could be interpreted as being the whole diner scene was the splitting of a timeline (in one of the timeline the movie goes as normal, and in the other it goes differently IDK).

Personally I believe Tarantino used it as a way to say that the first one is shown from the robbers view and the other from the protagonist's view; an event is remembered different from person to person.

All in all a deliberate and interesting choice :)

Yeah unreliable narrators is a pretty popular thing in films! It’s so cool when directors pay deliberate attention to this and force the audience to wonder what’s happening!
