Looking east on Hollywood Blvd. in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" (Miramax, 1994). Note the Pacific neon lit on the former Warner Theatre, 6433 Hollywood Blvd.
Uma Thurman has just overdosed and John Travolta is frantically driving her to Eric Stoltz' house for a shot of adrenaline. With a big syringe. Right in the heart. Also starring in the film are Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames and Bruce Willis. Thanks to Jonathan Raines for spotting the shot.
See the pages on the Los Angeles Theatres site about the Warner Hollywood for a history of this 1928 movie palace along with hundreds of photos of various areas of the building.
"You lost all your L.A. privileges." Pasadena's Raymond Theatre, 129 N. Raymond Ave., was used for the exterior of the building for Bruce Willis' boxing match. He was supposed to take a dive in the 5th and didn't. The film also shot scenes nearby in Kendall Alley off of Union Street and Raymond Ave.
See our page on the Raymond Theatre for more about the 1921 vintage building. Much of the decor remains inside but, sadly, the building has been condo-ized and is no longer a theatre.
