The biggest unsolved mystery in movie history? - Blu-ray Forum

The Gimp from Pulp Fiction.

Who was he?

Where did he come from?

How did he get there?

Did he have a job?

...a home?

...a wife and kids?

How long had he been there?

Quentin Tarantino is famous for creating elaborate backstories for his characters.

I think the most fascinating movie he could make would be a prequel to Pulp Fiction that delves into the origins of The Gimp leading up to the moment before PF when he was first kidnapped and thrown into sexual bondage.

...starring Steve Buscemi as The Gimp.

The Gimp, huh? Didn't care about what was in the briefcase at all?

Could the two be connected?

I've been asking myself that question for more than 20 years.

The Blair Witch.

Does she exist?

Did she torment Rustin Parr to kill those seven children?

Is she covered from her neck down in horse fur?

What were those symbols and numbers that were carved into her victims?

Good call.

...I always assumed she was kidnapped and sold into slavery.

Nah, it was aliens.

Who heard Charles Foster Kane say, "Rosebud", his dying words, when there was no one else in the room when he said it....

I believe his butler revealed later on in the film that he was in the room at the time.

What did Bill Murray whisper into Scarlett Johansson's ear in Lost In Translation?

Was it God, destiny, chance or something else torturing Larry in A Serious Man?

I always just thought that she was just a figment of their imagination while they were all on pot... Sadly, I know what happened to Anna since I dug up the answer.

How can there be a definitive answer to that question?

I thought it would have been a great twist if that actually was the Maltese Falcon. They scratch off the paint and reveal the cheap lead statue, then someone else scratches the lead and reveals the real treasure underneath.

I'm guessing it was his mother.
