PF: pipe-hittin niggas
Cliff Heller
Question as to what precisely Marcellus meant by getting some of the "hard,
pipe-hittin niggas".
Does he mean the hard members of his organization who are often employed to
hit people with pipes?
I read it that the pipes are crack pipes and Marcellus occasionally employs
a few crack-heads to do work that is too violent even for his usual staff.

That makes sense, considering that the word "assassin" comes from the same
root as "hashish".

I assumed he meant they hit people with pipes, like in Cape Fear when
he hires some guys to do a "lead pipe and bike chain job" on Deniro.
But you never know....

Sure, and considering the fact that the only thing hashish has in common
with crack is that it is smoked in a pipe. It makes sense because
crack-heads are crazy, violent motherfuckers. Hashish smokers, as a rule
are pretty mellow.

Christ! I hope you realize how silly you sound.
Let's argue about what Marcellus meant by "I'm gonna get medieval on your
ass."

No...I think he meant he would hire some crack-smokin black folks
(this means some guys that smoke crack and would be hard-core or
crazy!) to go in there and kick some serious butt! Remember when
Marcellus said, "I'm gon' get Medievil (sp) on you". I think he
meant that these guys were going to torture them in the worst way.

Exactly. And the anteroom to the room that Marcellus is raped in is dressed in
faux-medieval style. It is very evident when Butch walks out he last time.

I believe this was so fucking obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned
and that the original poster was only asking it to underscore the
ridiculous nature of the previous argument.

music store, I have to ask: What did they call that guy in the leather
outfit who lived in the basement??? I know it started with a "G".
I have been wondering if that guy volunteered for his place in the world
or was a former victim of Zed & his friend like Butch and Marcallus were?

They called him the Gimp. I asked what this meant and have had several
replies that say it means a disabled/lame/crippled person. I did eventually
find it in a big dictionary as well.
"Bring out the Gimp"
"But the Gimp's sleeping"
"Well then I Guess you'd better go wake him up"

Arrrggghhhhh!! Asleep at the switch. Still enjoyed the movie
immensely. Speaking of which, I've got a question. After
the action takes place in Zed and Co.'s basement, and Marsellus
sez he's going to bring in the boys with the pliers and blowtorch(s),
what exactly did he call the security guard? I remember it as something
like "Mr. Soon-to-be-living-the-rest-of-his-short-assed-lifespan-in-
agony". Is this close?

Or, Tarrantino's response at a screening: "It was someone who wandered
into the store two years ago." There is a little sequence when Bruce Willis
is straining at his bonds and the Gimp is watching him: the Gimp begins to
make hand gestures pointing to himself and to Willis. They COULD be
interpreted to mean "you will become me" or "I was like you." Or,
he was thrashing just because the mask was hot...
I still say the briefcase contained the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs.

But they didn't have blow torches in the 15th century! Do you think this
was a deliberate anachronism?

You are not right. Hasjisj comes from assassin, not the other way around. The assassins were an ancient muslim group of fundamentalist warriors who used to smoke hasjisj before slaughtering christians, something they were too stoned for if you consider how many of them are still left.

Then after they tied him by his collar, he turned to Bruce Willis and said,

Later Bruce Willis takes this feather... but I don't want to give too much

Maynard ran the pawn shop. Zed was a security guard:
Zed: Go get the Gimp
Maynard: The Gimp's sleeping
Zed: Well you better wake him up then.

speaking of the leather clad guy in the box....what the hell was that all
about, anyways?!? Was that supposed to be their "bitch" that they kept
around when they didn't have any fresh "meat"?? was that what they were
going to do with Butch and Marcellus after they reamed them both??

Correct -- it was a pawn shop. Notice the weather-beaten hangy-thing on the
wall behind the counter, made of three gold balls? It is the traditional sign
of a pawn shop.

I'm sorry to disappoint you both, but Zed and Maynard's dialogue goes like
this:
Zed:- "Go get the Gimp"
May:- "This Gimps sleepin'"
Zed:- "Well I guess you'll have to wake him up now, won't you?

If you look at the movie soundtrack, (or listen to it, 'cos the dialog is
on it just before Comanche) you will see the leather perv was called the Gimp.
as in "Bring out the Gimp (Zed), I think the Gimp's sleepin'(Store owner)..."
