It is listed by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 films ever made in the United States. It was also nominated for a further five Oscars.

Now part of the Walt Disney Imagineering campus, the Disney Company has thankfully retained some of the building's flavour keeping original elements from the bowling alley in its interior design. It was a disused bowling alley at 1435 Flower Street, east of Sonora Avenue, in Glendale. The distinctive exterior, though, is not only real but still standing.
The dining booths are six vintage convertibles and the raised dancefloor in the center of the diner is shaped, in case you hadn’t noticed, as a tachometer – an homage to Howard Hawks’ Red Line 7000 and Elvis Presley’s Speedway. It was no more than a huge set built in the film company’s warehouse in Culver City. It’s very private, so there’s little to see from the road, and for a piddling $7,500,000 it could be yours – glass walls, infinity pools and all.Īnd ‘Jack Rabbit Slim’ – “Next best thing to a time machine” – well, you never could have ordered a Douglas Sirk Burger here at all. Vince picks up Mia Wallace ( Uma Thurman) from the luxury pad of Marsellus at 1541 Summitridge Drive, on the slopes above Beverly Hills. It’s now another vacant lot, though you might recognise the parking lot opposite, beneath the Hollywood Freeway. The apartment block where Vince and Jules ( John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson) sample Big Kahuna burgers before wiping out the guys who crossed Marsellus, was on the corner of Van Ness Avenue and Harold Way, just north of Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood. This is 3519 La Clede Avenue, just south of Glendale Boulevard in Atwater Village, near Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The spot is only a few blocks away from the home of druggies Lance and Jody ( Eric Stoltz and Rosanna Arquette), where Vince has to plunge the syringe into the chest of comatose Mia Wallace after she ODs.

Thinking he’s got away, Butch sees Marsellus Wallace ( Ving Rhames) crossing Fletcher Drive, up toward Glendale, alongside the Glendale Freeway, (in a sly homage to Marion Crane glimpsing her boss in Hitchcock’s Psycho) outside Foster’s Freeze, 2760 Fletcher Drive at Atwater Avenue. Although the theatre’s frontage has been preserved, another great Los Angeles location lost forever.īutch escapes into an alleyway, which isn’t the rear of the Raymond at all, but across the road in Kendall Alley – an all-purpose alleyway, briefly glimpsed standing in for a ‘Seville’ street in Knight And Day. Concert scenes for another certified classic, This Is Spinal Tap, were also filmed here. Pulp Fiction film location: The Battle of the Titans: Raymond Theatre, North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, Los AngelesĪfter hanging on for years, the fight to preserve the site of the ‘Battle of the Titans’ was finally lost, in 2009 when the historic Raymond Theatre, 129 North Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, was gutted to provide condominiums.
