oh christ people, it's because he has a scar on the back of his neck, and for
some reason the filmmakers decided to cover it up with the band-aid. i'm
serious.

Oh sure, and I bet you think Travolta was just ACTING like a heroin addict
too, right? Get your facts straight buddy..


Christ, I walked into this newsgroup thinking it was for another tarantino

Actually Ving Rhames does have a scar on the back of his neck and it is
clearly visible in the cafe scene at the end of Mission: Impossible.

Actually, the honest-to-god truth is that during rehearsal Ving Rhames had
a band-aid on because he had cut himself shaving his head. When they
began to shoot, it was gone. Quentin said "Where's the band-aid?" Ving
explained and Quentin asked him to put it back on: he liked the look.

No offense, but how do you know this?

Wrong

When I saw the end of the horrible "Mission: Impossible" the one
redeeming factor was that I could confirm that Ving Rhames had a scar on
the back of his neck.

Ving Rhames had a turtleneck on making it impossible to see if he had a
scar or not.

Mission: Not Accomplished.

Is this proof enough for you, Chelsea?

No offense taken, Robert. I'm a friend of Quentin's. I've known him for
about nine years now. I've typed scripts for him, but I didn't type Pulp
Fiction, so when I saw it, I had the same question, among others. The
above answer is from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I couldn't resist
clearing that matter up, especially because he didn't tell me not to. I
hope it doesn't piss him off if/when he finds out about it. Actually, if


he does, I'll probably be there to see it, since he hardly knows anyone
who's in tune with the net and the newsgroups. He's only seen them once

before. He wants to come over and check them out again on my computer, but
don't waste a lot of energy coming up with things to talk about for his
delectation, since we don't see each other that often and it'll probably
be months, at the minimum, before he actually does come over. As a matter
of fact, I'm pretty new to the newsgroup myself, but I've been checking it
out for a few weeks now and I occasionally pick up information about
Quentin that he hasn't (or wouldn't) tell me himself.

I think you are wrong. On my laserdisc I got a perfect freeze frame of the
back of his neck during the last scene, and I clearly saw his scar. Great
movie.

Fun. You couldn't get the actual, last version, screenplay-script for
Pulp Fiction? It would be appreciated. (If you could get a signed
paperversion, I'll marry you...)
