Intertextuality in Pulp Fiction (unfinished)

Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, cross referencing them. This is done a lot in film. Quentin Tarantino makes countless references in the movie Pulp Fiction (1994) the film creates a world of cross references from films so that the audience can recognize them and keep entertained.

In Pulp Fiction there are clear references and some which are not so obvious.

To begin with we have the character Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman). Her haircut is styled in that of the same way of Louis Brookes, in Pandora's Box (1929 G.W. Pabst).

Another intertextual reference in Pulp Fiction would be that of when Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) goes back into the basement to save Marsellus. He picks up several weapons and considers which weapon to use. Butch picks up a hammer, then a baseball bat, then a chainsaw, and finally a samurai sword. This is a reference to horror cinema and the most obvious film being 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' (Tobe Hooper, 1974). The samurai sword is also a reference to Japenese samurai cinema. The other weapons being a bit too vague to reference.
